Suffocating Wang Dong'er

The gazes of Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan collided, and one could faintly hear the crackling of electric arcs between them.

"Dong'er, didn't you say at the academy yesterday that you'd wait for me at home? Why are you coming out of a hotel with someone else?" Dugu Yan questioned, staring at Wang Dong'er.

She had waited at home for a long time last night.

She had even chased her grandfather away.

Didn't Wang Dong'er's claim that she would wait at home imply something to her?

Sigh!

Being left alone in an empty room had made her furious, and seeing Wang Dong'er walk out of a hotel with a girl in white silk bunny-ear attire first thing in the morning caused her composure to shatter.

But... but she couldn't vent her anger at Wang Dong'er.

After all, such feelings were not accepted on the Douluo Continent.

"Go home? Dong'er, you have a home with her?" Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes widened, her willow brows knitted together as she glared fixedly at Wang Dong'er, her small hands pinching Wang Dong'er's waist with force.

Hmm, the touch is very soft.

"Other women? Listen here, big sister, please get your facts straight. Dong'er and I grew up together; we slept in the same bed for six years. Our relationship is much closer than yours as a senior sister."

"You!"

With a sharp intake of breath, Wang Dong'er hurriedly stepped forward, standing between the two with a headache.

"Senior Sister, Sister Xiao Wu, this... let's not talk about such things on the street. Look at how everyone is staring at us."

The two women turned their heads to look.

Street vendors, passersby, and carriage drivers had all stopped what they were doing, standing still and pricking up their ears to watch them.

Some looked on with curiosity, munching on melon seeds as if watching a show.

Others looked on with disdain and mockery.

Three girls as beautiful as fairies were actually bickering over jealousy in front of a hotel in broad daylight—how shameless!

Some shook their heads and sighed.

No wonder it's hard to find a partner these days; so that's why, sigh!

Have the girls in this world gone crazy?

Others simply applauded and cheered.

Girls caught in a romantic love triangle? Interesting, a rare sight in a hundred years.

"What are you looking at? Go home and look at your mother." Dugu Yan, whose temper was not exactly mild, cursed at the crowd.

"Little girl, you're so pretty, why is your mouth so foul? You should have better values!"

"Better values?" Dugu Yan sneered. "I see three coffins laid out perfectly in your house—get lost!"

BOOM!

Four soul rings appeared beneath her, and her Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul flicked its tongue. The cold, sinister soul power fluctuations sent the crowd scattering like birds and beasts in a panic.

Xiao Wu smiled slightly. "Dong'er, your senior sister has such a foul temper. She must have bullied you quite a bit at the academy, right? Unlike me, I only care about you, hee hee."

Such a "green tea" remark made Wang Dong'er's head spin.

Dugu Yan was ignited like a powder keg, her cheeks flushed red with rage.

"What did you say, you little brat? Say it again!"

"So what if I say it ten more times? With such a foul temper, has your menopause arrived?"

Sticking out her pink, sweet little tongue, Xiao Wu mocked her without fear, completely disregarding Dugu Yan's status as a Soul Ancestor.

"You!"

Dugu Yan was incredibly furious, her soul power circulating rapidly within her.

However, the moment she thought of the relationship between Wang Dong'er and Xiao Wu, and wanting to avoid ruining her image in Wang Dong'er's heart or damaging their bond, she could only let out an angry snort, clenching her fists so tightly that her knuckles creaked.

Dragging them both to a deserted street corner, Wang Dong'er began to explain.

"Senior Sister, it's not what you think between Sister Xiao Wu and me. We just happened to run into each other and were catching up in the room. I'm truly sorry for not telling you in advance that I wouldn't be coming home last night."

"Sister Xiao Wu, you..."

Sigh.

Wang Dong'er really wanted to kneel down and say, "Mom, I'm begging you."

"Me what? What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?"

With a cold snort, Xiao Wu turned her head away.

It was impossible to get an apology out of Xiao Wu. Since the debt of the mother must be paid by the child, Wang Dong'er could only comfort Dugu Yan and ask her not to take the matter to heart.

One really shouldn't hold a grudge against a rabbit...

"It really was just catching up? You didn't do anything else?" Dugu Yan asked.

"It's the truth. What could the two of us possibly do?"

"Then swear an oath."

"I swear, the two of us just had a simple chat to catch up."

With a bitter smile, Wang Dong'er raised her right hand to swear, feeling incredibly heartbroken.

"Fine, I forgive you."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Wang Dong'er's arm, and rested her head on Wang Dong'er's shoulder.

Xiao Wu refused to be outdone and imitated Dugu Yan's actions...

If it were anyone else, they would surely be happy and consider themselves a winner in life, but Wang Dong'er only felt exhausted.

Xiao Wu was being watched by Tang Hao, kept as a future spirit ring and spirit bone for his son Tang San, while Dugu Yan was the apple of Dugu Bo's eye.

If those two saw this scene, what would her fate be?

The Clear Sky Hammer dealt high damage, and the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison was lethally potent.

Even if Wang Dong'er were granted the strength of a Titled Douluo, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Senior, I'm planning to go back to the Royal Academy and ask for a few days off."

Steadying her mind, Wang Dong'er tried her best not to think about messy things and said.

"Ask for leave? What are you going to do?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.

"Of course she has things to do with me, why are you asking so much?" Xiao Wu mocked. "Dong'er, let's go quickly. Don't let irrelevant people affect our business."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and ignored Xiao Wu. She stared longingly at Wang Dong'er, wanting only to hear what Wang Dong'er had to say.

"After graduating from Notting Academy, I came to the Royal Academy to cultivate. I haven't had a chance to rest properly in all this time, so I'm planning to take two days off to relax. It just so happens that I'll accompany Sister Xiao Wu to stroll around Soto City."

"Soto City?"

"Soto City is one of the most prosperous cities under the Heaven Dou Empire and a famous tourist destination. I've long planned to visit it, so it's perfect that we go together."

Dugu Yan said without hesitation.

Wang Dong'er was unwilling.

With Dugu Yan there, could she ever have peace? Wouldn't she and Xiao Wu bicker to death?

But... she couldn't refuse and had to bear it alone.

Xiao Wu was even less willing.

She absolutely would not agree to having a stranger like Dugu Yan interfere and occupy the time that belonged to her and Wang Dong'er alone.

Xiao Wu didn't want to go too far, either; she didn't want to ruin the relationship between Wang Dong'er and Dugu Yan because of herself.

Dugu Yan was a Spirit Ancestor and would surely be able to protect Wang Dong'er well at the academy. Even if she was reluctant, there was no other way; it was all for Wang Dong'er's own good.

The three of them arrived at the Royal Academy and easily finished requesting their leave.

After hearing that Wang Dong'er and Dugu Yan were heading to Soto City for a trip, Ye Lingling also requested leave.

There was no helping it; with Dugu Yan gone and her new friend Wang Dong'er also away, she would be very lonely at the academy by herself...
