Xiao Wu Begs for Shelter, the Wonderful Uses of Whale Rubber! Vajra Barbie Tang San!!!

The children who had been clamoring just moments ago all stared blankly at Gu Qing, their eyes filled with incredulous shock.

Wang Hu had been sitting on the bed rubbing his chest, but now he froze in place, his eyes wide and his face full of horror.

Never in their lives had they heard words so overbearing.

A six-year-old child had actually spoken words that looked down upon the world and treated all living beings as ants!

That bearing, that presence, was a hundred times more imposing than even the most formidable headmaster they had ever seen!

Tang San stood behind him, looking at Gu Qing's upright back. Her heart trembled violently, and a fervent light instantly burst from her eyes.

As expected of the Sect Master!!!

This air of looking down upon the world, this calm yet peerlessly proud demeanor—how could someone like me ever hope to match it?

Following a Sect Master like this, restoring the glory of the Tang Sect was just around the corner!!

Xiao Wu also stood frozen in place.

She had still been rubbing her sore backside angrily, thinking that she would definitely get revenge.

But when she heard those words and looked up at Gu Qing again, the afternoon sunlight streamed through the shabby window, falling right onto him and gilding his jade-like profile with a golden edge.

He stood there with an indifferent gaze, as though nothing in the world was worth caring about. That innate aloofness and dominance struck Xiao Wu straight in the heart.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Xiao Wu's heart suddenly pounded wildly, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

Gu Qing took in everyone's expressions, nearly laughing aloud inside.

Sure enough! Who could resist Huang?

Looks like I should memorize more of Huang's famous lines in the future. Bringing them out at crucial moments would definitely cow everyone into submission.

Gu Qing gave a light cough, breaking Dorm Seven's silence. He picked up his small bundle and said to Tang San, "Third Sister, let's go. The dorm is too noisy. We'll stay with Uncle Hao."

"Alright." Tang San immediately agreed, walking quickly to Gu Qing's side and reaching for the bundle in his hand.

The moment Xiao Wu heard that they were leaving, she became anxious.

She had come out of the Star Dou Great Forest alone, with no background, no money, not even a blanket. Staying here would definitely be difficult, and she needed to interact with more people too.

This boy named Gu Qing was handsome and powerful. Following him definitely couldn't be wrong!

Xiao Wu hurried over and grabbed the corner of Gu Qing's clothes. She raised her little face to look at him pitifully, her big eyes watery.

"Boss, wait for me! I'm coming with you too! I don't have a blanket or any money, and I don't know anyone here. Please take me in!"

"I'll be your little sister. From now on, I'll listen to everything you say. I can serve you tea and water, massage your back and shoulders, and even beat people up for you!"

Gu Qing was delighted inside.

Just what I wanted.

He had been wondering how to lure Xiao Wu away, but she had delivered herself right to his door.

Gu Qing pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded. "Fine. From now on, you'll follow me. No causing trouble, and no disobeying me. Understand?"

"I promise! I'll definitely behave!"

Xiao Wu immediately nodded hard, afraid that Gu Qing would change his mind. She quickly snatched the bundle from Tang San's hands and hugged it to her chest. "Boss, I'll carry your things!"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's eager manner and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she did not say anything.

The three turned and walked out of Dorm Seven, leaving behind a room full of children who still had not recovered their senses.

Only after their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor did Wang Hu let out a long breath and mutter, "My god... that was way, way too cool!... From now on, I'm following Brother Gu!"

The three soon arrived at the Tang Yin Blacksmith Shop.

Tang Hao was bare-chested, swinging his hammer amid a constant clanging, busy as could be. Only when he saw the three enter did he stop working.

Gu Qing pointed at Xiao Wu and introduced her. "Uncle Hao, this is my new little sister, Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu, this is Third Sister's father, Uncle Tang Hao. He's a powerful Soul Sage."

Xiao Wu quickly bowed obediently. "Hello, Uncle Tang Hao."

Tang Hao's gaze fell upon Xiao Wu, and his eyes flickered slightly.

At a glance, he saw through the fact that Xiao Wu was not human!! She was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. Yet when he saw Xiao Wu's clear, lively eyes, Tang Hao thought of Ah Yin.

He fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Mm. There are two empty rooms in the back courtyard. Clean them up yourselves."

Tang Hao did not expose Xiao Wu's identity. He merely sighed silently to himself. Let nature take its course.

With that, he turned and resumed forging!

"Damn it! I still have to make money for that brat."

Sure enough!

Tang Hao would never reveal Xiao Wu's identity.

Standing in the back courtyard, Gu Qing watched Xiao Wu and Tang San choose their rooms, feeling deeply moved.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Afternoon sunlight filtered through the wooden windows of the Blacksmith Shop, casting mottled patches of light across the courtyard.

Gu Qing carried two thin needles carved from Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, along with a bottle of medicine that glowed with a faint golden hue. He leisurely walked over to Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were sunning themselves in the courtyard.

"Stop slacking off. Come here. It's time for your Whale Rubber injections today."

At those words, Xiao Wu's ears instantly drooped. She immediately hid behind Tang San, poking out her little head to look pitifully at Gu Qing.

"Can't I skip it? After the last injection, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and it hurt all night... I don't want another injection!"

Gu Qing ignored Xiao Wu and looked at Tang San first.

Without another word, Tang San obediently walked up to Gu Qing and extended her fair arm without even blinking.

Gu Qing skillfully injected the diluted Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Dragon Essence solution into her vein.

The moment the medicine entered her body, Tang San's skin was instantly tinged with a faint flush, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Yet she merely bit her lower lip without making a sound.

"See that? Learn from your Third Sister. Do you see that determination to become stronger?"

Gu Qing turned toward Xiao Wu, who was still hiding, and put on a stern face. "Come here. If you don't take the medicine while everyone else is desperately putting it into their bodies, how are you supposed to compete with them? Do you still want to become stronger?"

I want to become stronger! I want to become stronger!

Though Xiao Wu shouted loudly, she still shuffled over reluctantly. She unwillingly held out her arm, closed her eyes, and looked as though she were marching bravely to her death.

"Hiss, it's so swollen!"

The instant the medicine entered her body, Xiao Wu sucked in a sharp breath from the pain, tears nearly spilling from her eyes.

She flung her arm around and jumped in place. "It's burning! It's burning! Brother Gu Qing, you lied to me! You said it would be diluted more this time!"

"Enough nonsense."

Gu Qing picked up the two heavy hammers that had long been prepared beside him and pointed toward the red-hot iron blocks in the forging room.

"While the medicine is still spreading through your bodies, go forge. One thousand strikes each. One strike short, and you don't get any meat tonight."

"Move! Move!"

"Ah! We still have to forge?" Xiao Wu's face collapsed as she wailed.

"I don't want to forge! My arms are about to break! Brother Gu Qing, how about I sweep the floor and wash your clothes instead? Please spare me!"

Gu Qing leaned against the doorframe with his arms folded, expressionless. "Twelve hundred strikes. One more word, and it'll be fifteen hundred."

"Ah!" Xiao Wu wailed and reluctantly followed Tang San into the forging room.

Clang! Clang!

The heavy sounds of forging soon echoed throughout the entire back courtyard.

Gu Qing leaned against the doorframe with his arms folded, watching the two girls inside swing their hammers with all their might.

Tang San's movements were precise and powerful, every strike sending sparks flying from the anvil.

Sweat slid down her jawline and dampened the loose strands of hair over her forehead. Her once-slender arms had developed smooth, beautiful muscle lines after three months of frenzied training, while her waist, abdomen, and calves had become firm and strong. Every swing of her hammer carried a naturally explosive force.

Gu Qing rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Sure enough, Little Sister Tang San was getting more and more of that Vajra Barbie vibe.

In another half year, she would probably be able to punch that useless Yu Xiaogang three meters away.

All of this was thanks to the conversation Gu Qing and Tang Hao had had three months ago.
