Lin Chen, Do You Want to Die?

"For some reason, the male hormones in Tang San's body suddenly dropped off sharply two years ago. Now, he's stopped producing them altogether, so he can't really be considered a man anymore."

Xiao Wu didn't hide anything. She explained it outright.

Lin Chen stared at her, dumbfounded, and didn't speak for a long time.

Two years ago?

Wasn't that around the time Tang San had first arrived in Nuoding City?

And during that period...

Tang San's worst bout of bad luck had to be that trip to the Soul Hunting Forest.

Lin Chen suddenly remembered the scene of Gangzi being so frightened by one of his remarks that he wet himself.

No wonder he'd reacted so strongly.

It seemed that the bad luck that struck him then had been even more outrageous than Lin Chen had imagined.

But...

What could have made Tang San's hormone production stop?

Lin Chen pondered to himself.

Ninety-five percent of male hormone production came from QQ.

Could Tang San's QQ have been uninstalled?

"Gasp!"

At the thought of that possibility, Lin Chen couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.

Had Tang San become a eunuch?

Xiao Wu went on explaining, "This is an ability my Martial Soul granted me. It can't be wrong. And it's not just Tang San—his teacher is the same."

Lin Chen: "..."

Good grief. He hadn't expected Gangzi to become a eunuch too.

This was... unbelievable.

That didn't make sense.

Hadn't Tang Hao been following them in secret? Otherwise, how had he let things come to this?

Xiao Wu said with righteous indignation, "Now you understand why I treated him that way, right? It's hard for me to be friends with someone who's neither a man nor a woman."

"As for spending his money..."

"At first, I refused. But whenever I did, he kept asking me why, and whether he'd done something wrong."

Xiao Wu spread her hands. "What was I supposed to do?"

Lin Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes at her.

In his memories, Tang San's previous life had been a complete waste.

He knew nothing about love.

At first, Tang San hadn't felt anything unusual toward Xiao Wu, either.

How could he have turned into a lovesick puppy just like that?

There had to be some self-serving embellishment in Xiao Wu's story.

Who knew how much of it was true and how much was made up?

What Lin Chen didn't know was that the butterfly effect had already taken hold.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Wu immediately grew anxious.

"Don't disbelieve me! Everything I said is true. He really insisted on giving me the money."

Lin Chen smiled faintly.

"You don't have to explain. Whether it's true or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Xiao Wu: "..."

This jerk was so infuriating. She really wanted to bite him hard.

Lin Chen said no more and headed straight for the cafeteria.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu gave a cold snort, then shamelessly followed him.

Meanwhile...

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San woke up in a wrecked hotel room.

They stared silently at the ceiling, their eyes filled with sorrow.

Tang San was doing a little better.

The second time, compared to the first, he'd found it much easier to bear.

It wasn't as unbearable as it looked.

He turned his head toward Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, are you all right?"

His teacher was already so old. He didn't know if Yu Xiaogang could take it.

Would he try to kill himself?

Yu Xiaogang said nothing. Tears silently slipped from the corners of his eyes.

He didn't understand. He truly didn't understand.

What sins had he committed in his previous life for Heaven to punish him so cruelly in this one?

His Martial Soul had mutated for the worse, reducing him from the exalted young master of the Blue Lightning clan to a useless outcast, mocked by his clan and even the entire Soul Master World.

Just as he was about to finally be with the woman he loved, he learned she was his own cousin.

As he neared sixty, his QQ had been uninstalled.

And now, he'd suffered such vile treatment at the hands of a beast, ending up with his dignity in tatters.

And it had happened alongside his own disciple.

His life had been like walking on thin ice. How was he ever supposed to reach the other shore?

"Waaah..."

As the thoughts piled up, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help bursting into loud sobs.

He wept as if his heart were being torn apart.

"Ah!"

Seeing him in such despair, Tang San couldn't help sighing.

As someone who'd been through it himself, he deeply understood how Yu Xiaogang felt.

But he wasn't good with words and didn't know how to comfort his teacher.

He sat up and instinctively looked toward the nightstand.

As expected, just like that morning, a pile of Gold Soul Coins had been left there.

Only this time, there were far more.

And just as before, a sheet of paper was tucked beneath the coins.

Tang San picked it up and read.

[Little darling, this should be enough money to last you a while. Uncle has to leave for a while, and I don't know when I'll be back. Don't miss Uncle too much.]

After reading the note, Tang San showed little anger.

He quietly tore it into tiny pieces.

Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then went into the bathroom.

This time, he was out in less than twenty minutes.

By the time he came out, Yu Xiaogang had stopped crying.

But he still lay there, staring blankly.

Seeing this, Tang San shook his head and silently got dressed.

"Teacher, get some rest. I'll head back to the academy first."

Xiao Wu was still waiting for him. He couldn't waste too much time here.

Yu Xiaogang didn't respond.

Tang San walked to the bed and used the hem of his clothes to bundle up half the Gold Soul Coins.

Then he looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, take this money and spend it. You can use it for food, drink, and entertainment."

Yu Xiaogang turned his head.

Looking at the mountain of Gold Soul Coins, he finally felt a little better.

At least he'd gotten something out of it.

"Teacher, I'm leaving."

Tang San didn't linger. He left the hotel at once.

Once outside, he sprinted all the way.

But even though he was moving fast, he was still late by the time he got back to Dorm Seven.

There wasn't a soul in Dorm Seven.

"They must be in the cafeteria."

As he thought this, Tang San put the extra Gold Soul Coins into his bundle.

Then he hurried to the cafeteria.

He didn't see anyone on the first floor, so he went straight up to the second.

The moment he stepped onto the second floor, it was as if lightning had struck him.

He froze on the spot.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

His fist hardened. Tang San's knuckles cracked one after another.

His face twisted as he stared at the scene before him.

Xiao Wu and Lin Chen sat opposite each other. Xiao Wu was beaming, chattering away to Lin Chen.

Even though he didn't seem very interested, nothing could dampen her enthusiasm.

"Damn Lin Chen."

"I've been out there scraping together money, and this bastard is trying to steal my girl right under my nose."

"He's practically begging to die."

Tang San was panting like an ox, the veins on his neck bulging.

His face dark, he stalked toward them, murder in his eyes.

Lin Chen spotted Tang San and felt a little helpless.

This Rogue Rabbit was such a menace. If she was in heat, couldn't she go find a male rabbit in the wild?

Why did she have to cling to him?

Tang San strode furiously up to their table and slammed his palm down on it.

"Bang!"

The table's groan drew everyone in the cafeteria's attention.

"Lin Chen, do you want to die?"

Tang San stared coldly at Lin Chen, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
