Xiao Wu's Arrival, Only Mother is Good in the World

Wang Dong'er pondered slightly.

The Strength Clan was one of the affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect. Their patriarch, Tai Tan, was a powerful Spirit Douluo and a... loyal dog to the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

If Wang Dong'er truly had any connection to the Strength Clan, it was quite simple: she could also be considered the master of the Strength Clan.

In the original story, after Tang San defeated the father-son duo of Tai Long and Tai Nuo, Tai Tan went to Blue Tyrant Academy to settle the score. The situation was originally tense, but once Tang San revealed the Clear Sky Hammer and it was learned that Tang San was the child of his master, Tang Hao...

Tai Tan, this powerful Spirit Douluo, knelt down in front of countless people and even cried out, "Master, Young Master."

To put it bluntly, it was like a stray pet that had finally found its home.

Because of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion, abandoning the four major clans to be besieged by Spirit Hall. They suffered heavy casualties, and their status in the spirit master world plummeted. The Speed Clan, in particular, had to rely on the other three clans just to scrape by.

Even after experiencing such backstabbing and abandonment, Tai Tan remained loyal to Tang Hao. In a sense, Tai Tan was a man of character.

Wang Dong'er couldn't help but wonder, if she were to expose her second spirit, how would Tai Tan react?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you deaf and mute?"

Tai Long asked, puzzled.

Usually, when he did things like this, he only had to state his name, and those women would either throw themselves at him or flee in a panic. But Wang Dong'er stood there expressionless, completely ignoring him—a big celebrity in Heaven Dou City—which was truly unexpected.

"Big Brother, why are you wasting your breath on her? Let's just do it; I can't wait any longer."

"Yeah, Big Brother, hurry up."

"You two are worthy of enjoying such a top-tier beauty? Get lost," Tai Long cursed.

"But Big Brother, you said earlier at the tavern that we three brothers share our fortunes. Why now..."

One of them said, extremely indignant.

The other quickly covered his mouth. Tai Tan was the patriarch's grandson and the future young patriarch; so what if they had just sworn brotherhood? Tai Long was still their... leader.

"Boss, he's just drunk. Don't take it to heart."

"If he's drunk, tell him to get lost. Don't ruin my fun here."

Tai Long chased away the meddlesome lackeys and looked at Wang Dong'er with a lecherous grin.

"It seems you really are deaf and mute. A pity—not being able to make a sound will take away a lot of the fun. But it doesn't matter; as long as you can satisfy me, I guarantee you'll have no worries for the rest of your life."

As he spoke, Tai Long raised his hand and reached toward Wang Dong'er's chest.

"Stop!"

Just as Wang Dong'er prepared to strike, a female voice suddenly rang out.

Tai Long froze for a moment. As he shook his head, looking for the source of the voice, a wave of pink spirit power and mental energy struck him. The next moment, Tai Long stiffened in place like a stone statue, his eyes turning completely pink.

This is... Xiao Wu's Charm!?

Back at Notting Academy, Wang Dong'er had been ambushed by this spirit skill from Xiao Wu more than once; she was all too familiar with it.

"I didn't expect you to recognize my spirit skill. You left Notting City without saying goodbye; I thought you wanted to cut ties with me."

This time, the voice was very clear and familiar. Wang Dong'er turned around and saw Xiao Wu walking slowly toward her.

She was the same as before, wearing a scorpion braid and a pink miniskirt. Her long, snow-white legs were wrapped in white silk stockings. The stockings were very thin at the thighs, and a few faint pink tear marks were visible.

"Xi-Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

Wang Dong'er's tone was flustered. Xiao Wu was a transformed spirit beast! There were at least seven Spirit Douluos and Titled Douluos in Heaven Dou City combined. If she were discovered... this little rabbit was far too bold.

(Marshal Ge Long was at the border; Seven Treasure Mountain and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were not in Heaven Dou City; there were only Dugu Bo, Tai Tan, the three academy committee members, and Qian Renxue's two guardians.)

"Hmph." Xiao Wu let out a soft snort. She walked past Wang Dong'er and rolled her eyes. "Is this Heaven Dou City your family's property? Why can't I come?"

As she spoke, she kicked Tai Long—who was still controlled by the "Charm" skill—hard in the most vulnerable part of his waist. His entire body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious from the alcohol within a few breaths.

"I didn't mean it like that. It's just that Notting City is a long way from Heaven Dou City. I was worried you might run into trouble on the road."

Wang Dong'er scratched her head. She had no other intentions; she was simply worried about Xiao Wu. But her words sounded like mockery to Xiao Wu's ears.

"Are you saying I'm not as good as you?"

"You were able to come to Heaven Dou City alone, so why couldn't Xiao San and I?"

"Xiao San..."

That was true. Tang San must have come with Xiao Wu; otherwise, Tang Hao would never have let Xiao Wu leave Tang San's side.

"Tang San came too? Where is he now?"

Xiao Wu felt incredibly dejected, but her tone remained cold as she spoke.

"Do you hate me that much?"

"Why would you ask that?" Wang Dong'er asked, confused.

"I'm standing right in front of you talking to you, yet you insist on bringing up Xiao San. Do you like Xiao San?"

Xiao Wu's tone was complex, and her piercing gaze made chills run down Wang Dong'er's spine.

What on earth was this?

How could she possibly like Tang San or hate Xiao Wu?

This was all wrong.

"How could that be? I was just asking out of curiosity. In my heart, you are definitely much more important than Tang San. By the way, Xiao Wu, weren't you two heading to Shrek Academy? Why did you suddenly come to Heaven Dou City?"

Xiao Wu pursed her lips. She was satisfied enough with this answer, and her attitude toward Wang Dong'er improved significantly—at least, she no longer looked at Wang Dong'er with the eyes one would use for... a scumbag.

"Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"And the lie?"

Xiao Wu took a deep breath.

"Shrek Academy doesn't start enrollment for another half a month or so. Since we were idle anyway, Tang San and I thought we'd wander around and see the world."

"I heard from others that you had come to Heaven Dou City. Since it's a major metropolis, Tang San and I were worried you wouldn't have enough money or would get bullied by the city folk, so we came to check on you."

"Then what's the truth?" Wang Dong'er asked again.

"The truth is simple. Tang San and I came to Heaven Dou City for a trip. He's cultivating at the hotel, and I came out for some fresh air and just happened to run into you." Xiao Wu spread her small hands, speaking with complete indifference.

"Actually, it's because you couldn't stop worrying about me, so you dragged Tang San along, didn't you?" Wang Dong'er smiled slightly.

"Nonsense." Xiao Wu snorted, but before a few seconds had passed, she continued, "Fine, I won't pretend with you anymore. Since you've already seen through it, there's really no helping it."

"Heaven Dou City is the imperial capital; it's teeming with powerhouses and nobles. Nobles aren't exactly good people, so you should keep disguising yourself as a boy like you used to."

"I know, but I'm more afraid of being targeted by girls." Wang Dong'er smiled helplessly.

A warm sensation spread across her hand. Lowering her gaze, she saw her hand being lifted by Xiao Wu, and a "little trinket" appeared in her palm.

"Does deceiving those girls make you feel guilty? You really are a... jerk." Xiao Wu said irritably. "This is the Silent Sleeve Arrow, a hidden weapon Tang San gave me for self-defense. If caught off guard, even a Spirit Ancestor powerhouse could be injured by it. I have no use for it, so take it to protect yourself."
