The Heartbreak of Tang San, Wang Dong'er Deeply Entangled in an Emotional Shura Field

Xiao Wu smiled without a word, gently nudging Wang Dong'er with her arm.

Having been good classmates for six years, Wang Dong'er's attitude toward Tang San was naturally quite good, and she offered a slight smile.

"San'er, I am actually Wang Dong'er."

Tang San was stunned once more; Wang Dong'er's smile made his heart ache with bitterness.

A wave of guilt surged over him, as if he had committed some unforgivable wrong against her.

The feeling was indescribable, utterly inexplicable.

"No wonder... back at Notting Academy, no matter how hot it was, you always wrapped yourself up tightly and never bathed with us. So that was why..."

Tang San scratched his head, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had known something was off about Wang Dong'er.

How could a boy be that good-looking?

Fortunately, all those years in Notting City, he had never discussed male development with Wang Dong'er, nor had she ever used the restroom with the other boys, otherwise... tsk.

"You haven't eaten yet, right, Wang Dong... er? There are some local delicacies in Heaven Dou City; let me treat you two."

"Xiao Wu and I have already eaten." Wang Dong'er took a food box from her soul tool and handed it to Tang San. "I brought you some food on the way here. Eat it while it's hot."

Tang San didn't stand on ceremony; after taking it from her, he led the two of them into the room.

"Sister Xiao Wu, San'er, when are you two leaving? If you're not in a hurry, I can show you around. Although I'm not very familiar with Heaven Dou City, I know the popular spots."

Wang Dong'er spoke up.

"We arrived in Heaven Dou City three days ago and have already seen everything worth seeing. Shrek Academy starts admissions in three days, so we're planning to leave shortly."

Tang San said while eating.

Xiao Wu felt a bit unhappy. If she had met Wang Dong'er sooner, they would have had time to hang out together. Now, they were about to leave just as they had met.

Planning to leave shortly...

If he remembered correctly, Tang San's first small opportunity was obtained at Flender's little shop.

Hair Crystal, Dragon Whisker Needle.

Small trinkets like Tang Sect hidden weapons didn't matter; what was important was that shortly after joining Shrek Academy, Tang San would obtain his true cheat: the external spirit bone, the "Eight Spider Lances."

The "Eight Spider Lances" could absorb the pure life force of an opponent to nourish its user.

In the original work, during the Spirit Master Tournament finals.

Tang San used Tang Sect hidden weapon techniques to severely injure the Spirit Hall Golden Generation with fragments of the Eight Spider Lances, and while "detoxifying" them, he used the external spirit bone to drain their life energy to nourish himself.

He improved himself while harming the Golden Generation—was this the great, righteous Sea God?

Was this not the textbook behavior of an evil spirit master?

Later on, through the Sea God trials, the Eight Spider Lances evolved to a god-tier level, and the divine skill "Devouring Golden Threads" was even more tyrannical, forcibly draining the target's life force and soul power upon use.

This cheat had to be intercepted...

It was impossible for Wang Dong'er to absorb it herself, and no one around her lacked a spirit ring. The only options were to prevent Tang San from obtaining it or to forcibly seize it after he absorbed it.

The first was simple, but it would be a waste—a squandering of a heavenly treasure.

The second method was very difficult.

Tang San had the mountain that was Tang Hao backing him. However, as long as she found a way to lure Tang Hao away, she could make her move.

Luring Tang Hao away was simple; she just needed to trigger the barrier Tang Hao left in Holy Soul Village to protect Ah Yin...

Wang Dong'er already had a plan. Suddenly, she felt she was becoming a bit evil.

Breaking up Tang San and Xiao Wu, plotting to sabotage her "good brother" Tang San, playing tricks on Tang Hao, stealing Ah Yin's seed of life...

Sigh, it couldn't be helped; that was just how the Tang family was.

"I see."

Wang Dong'er regained her focus and looked at Xiao Wu, asking.

"Sister Xiao Wu, why don't you stay here and study with me at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"And San'er, you too."

"I heard from the academy teachers that Shrek Academy is just an unknown, 'three-no' institution. It doesn't even have a simulated cultivation area, and the environment is far inferior to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With your talents, you would definitely be valued by the academy's top brass and receive full support."

She only wanted to keep Xiao Wu; Tang San was just an afterthought.

Tang San was a man of foolish filial piety. Now that he regarded Yu Xiaogang as half a father, he would not go against Yu Xiaogang's arrangements. Even if Shrek Academy were unbearable, he would still go.

Xiao Wu had perfectly fused with the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red, so there was no need to worry about her spirit beast identity being exposed. If she stayed by her side, Wang Dong'er could protect her well; if push came to shove, there was still Dugu Bo. But following Tang San... could Xiao Wu really live well?

Tang San remained still. He stopped eating, pricking up his ears, his attention entirely on Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's mood was incredibly complex.

She wanted to stay. Tang San... although he was very good, she wanted to cultivate and improve alongside Wang Dong'er even more.

But...

She was uncertain whether the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red would continue to mask her soul beast aura indefinitely; what if the herb lost its effect and she was suddenly exposed?

Even Wang Dong'er knew very little about this herb, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Although I really want to stay, I... I have already promised the Grandmaster that I will join Shrek Academy."

Xiao Wu sighed helplessly.

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke up.

"That's right, Wang Dong'er."

"The two of us have already promised the Grandmaster to join Shrek Academy, so, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, no matter where you two go, you will both achieve great success in your cultivation."

Wang Dong'er replied.

"As it happens, the academy has nothing going on these next two days, so I'll go with you both to stroll around Soto City."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Xiao Wu tackled Wang Dong'er onto the sofa in an instant, excitedly rubbing her cheek against Wang Dong'er's face.

Seeing Xiao Wu so happy because of Wang Dong'er, Tang San suddenly felt as if his meal had lost its flavor.

Ever since Wang Dong'er had left without saying goodbye, Xiao Wu had been sullen and rarely spoke when she was with him.

After Wang Dong'er appeared, Xiao Wu had transformed back into that lively, cheerful girl whose smile was as bright as the sunshine...

When would Xiao Wu ever smile like that for him?

Tang San knew his feelings were wrong; Wang Dong'er was a girl, so how could he have such jealous thoughts? Yet, he simply couldn't control them.

Wang Dong'er had intended to go to the academy alone to ask for leave, but since Xiao Wu insisted on following, she simply brought her along.

As for Tang San, no one cared.

The two had just stepped out of the hotel when they ran into Dugu Yan.

Seeing Wang Dong'er walking arm-in-arm with a strange girl in such an intimate manner, and emerging from the "Lily Hotel" no less, Dugu Yan looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Senior, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Wang Dong'er did not realize the gravity of the situation and brought Xiao Wu to stand before Dugu Yan.

Xiao Wu, however, scrutinized Dugu Yan carefully. Although Senior Wang Dong'er appeared calm on the surface, the heartache and hostility hidden in her eyes could not escape her gaze.

Girls were just like that; they could always catch the tiny details no one else noticed and sense some inexplicable feeling of crisis.
