[But right under their classmates' noses, the two were practically glued together at the lips!]
[And they still clung to that flimsy cover story of being brother and sister. It was disgusting enough to make you throw up last night's dinner!]
[When it came to the part where she needed a Soul Ring, it got even stupider—so stupid it pierced through the earth's core and blew up the galaxy!]
[Because Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast in human form, she could produce a Soul Ring herself. No killing required.]
[So how could she pull the wool over everyone's eyes?]
[Xiao Wu's idiotic idea was that she had to ditch the Shrek idiots and secretly form the ring on her own.]
[How would she ditch them?]
[This brain-dead fool decided to go with everyone to the Star Dou Forest first, then call Er Ming—the Titan Giant Ape—over.]
[She'd have Er Ming kidnap her, and then they'd be "naturally" separated.]
[Well, look at that! A genius! One little trick and the whole thing was foolproof, right?]
[Foolproof, my ass! Even a pig's brain has a few more folds than your sieve of a skull!]
[Anyone with eyes could see right through it!]
[You're a worthless Soul Grandmaster barely past level twenty, and the King of the Forest is so bored it comes all the way out to the outskirts just to nab you?]
[What does it want? A taste of your meat?]
[Oh, sure. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the local emperor of the Star Dou Forest, usually too aloof to even show its face near the outskirts.]
[And yet this one time, it just happens to come out for a stroll?]
[This overlord was famous for tearing apart anyone it saw and killing without batting an eye.]
[But now it had turned saintly, and was kidnapping people without killing them?]
[The King of the Forest made a big show of itself just to snatch a little shrimp barely past level twenty?]
[You think that makes sense? You think everyone else is blind and stupid?]
[Those other female characters were stupid, sure, but at least they were only making fools of themselves.]
[Xiao Wu, you're genuinely insulting everyone by treating them like idiots!]
[This moronic plan had holes stinkier than a cesspit, and you still had the nerve to put it forward?]
[Once you made it back alive, you could make up any old story you liked. Who would believe you?]
[A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast kidnapped you just to waste a little of your time?]
[Only that bunch at Shrek, with an average IQ below zero, could fail to pin you down and beat you senseless on the spot.]
[But that doesn't mean your brain deserves to be called a brain. At best, it's a decorative accessory!]
[And that's not even getting into all the holes in this plan. Just consider the risks.]
[You called out a monster on the level of the Titan Giant Ape to attack your teacher and classmates.]
[Even if you told it not to kill anyone, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could shatter a whole area just by sneezing.]
[One little mistake, and you'd have personally sent every one of them as an offering to the King of Hell!]
[A plan this riddled with holes, this packed with danger, this willing to use your companions' lives as a rag to wipe up a mess.]
[Only a heartless, brainless creature like you could ever approve it!]
[Besides, didn't you keep saying you loved Tang San? And Tang San was devoted to you, too!]
[If you really cared about him, couldn't you have knocked him out before the Titan Giant Ape carried you off?]
[Did you have to leave him there, losing his mind? What if another Soul Beast gobbled him up like a snack?]
[But if you don't love him, then why come back later and put on that heartbroken act when you saw him struggling with the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring? Who were you performing for?]
[I'm honestly impressed, Xiao Wu. Would it have killed you to think through the consequences even once before acting, or make some sort of backup plan?]
[Why not have Er Ming knock Tang San out right from the start?]
[Don't tell me a top-level Soul Beast that had lived for a hundred thousand years, the King of the Forest, couldn't figure out how to knock out a low-ranking Soul Master?]
[You just hauled ass off with the giant ape and left Tang San behind, charging around in a frenzy where a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could swallow him and leave nothing but scraps of bone. You really weren't afraid he'd die!]
[Of course, all of this could be explained by saying, "Xiao Wu is a complete brain-dead idiot," and couldn't think that far ahead!]
[That she only cared about covering up how she got her Soul Ring, and never spared a moment's thought for whether Tang San lived or died!]
[But if you use that as an excuse for her, it only proves the point even more!]
[This woman was hopelessly stupid, outrageously stupid, so stupid even pigs would be embarrassed for her!]
The Light Screen's scathing critique was indeed spot-on.
After hearing it, everyone could only think that a woman like this was stupid beyond imagination.
Just to hide how she'd obtained a Soul Ring, she'd nearly gotten so many people killed and taken such a huge risk.
No normal person would do something like that.
[God of Destruction of Douluo Era 1]: "Are Soul Beasts normally much less intelligent than humans?"
[God of Destruction of Douluo Era 1]: "Or does this Xiao Wu actually have a grudge against this Tang San? Is she using an excuse to try to get rid of him?"
[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "Hahaha, maybe that really is it."
[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "Otherwise, there were so many sensible ways to handle it, yet she picked the stupidest, riskiest plan."
[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "Hey, that Tang San guy, watch your back. Don't let her stab you in it."
[Tang San of Douluo Era 1]: "That's my Xiao Wu. I trust her! You people don't get to make things up about her!"
[Tang San of Douluo Era 1]: "Xiao Wu, don't listen to them. They're talking nonsense."
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "Nonsense? The Light Screen laid it all out in such detail, and you still call it nonsense?"
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "Tang San... you're the son of Tang Hao and that beast, aren't you?"
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "I never thought you'd end up involved with a Soul Beast, too!"
[Tang San of Douluo Era 1]: "What do you mean?"
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "You and Tang Hao will find out soon enough!"
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "Now let's see whether you reach the Star Dou Forest first, or we find you first!"
[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "I'd like to see how you worthless lot escape the grasp of my Spirit Hall!"
At those words, even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who hadn't understood what was going on, realized something was up.
Had Bibi Dong already made a move and started preparing to do something to them?
And just as they suspected, Bibi Dong's group had indeed begun speeding toward the Star Dou Forest.
At the very least, if they got there first, they could easily claim this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
The Douluo Era.
On the road to the Star Dou Forest.
Bibi Dong was in the lead, with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo following behind her.
Including her, there were five Titled Douluo. Even if they really faced the King of the Forest and the Emperor of the Forest, they wouldn't be intimidated in the slightest.
Bibi Dong urged them on from the front. "Pick up the pace!"
"If we miss our chance and all three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are in the Star Dou Forest, they'll be much harder to deal with!"
"Not to mention Tang Hao. That madman's strength is no joke, either!"
The four Titled Douluo behind her heard her and immediately sped up without hesitation.
