[In the end, I ran into Tang San, and it actually led to my own death!]
[Calling you an imbecile would be an insult to the intelligence of the mentally challenged; even amoebas would find you pathetic.]
[If you had stayed put between your two bodyguards, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Bibi Dong wouldn't have needed to show up personally, and even if Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo risked their lives, they wouldn't have been able to touch a single hair on you.]
[Yet, out of countless paths to survival, you chose the most fatal one with your toes, with a precision that was suffocating.]
[If I have sinned, then strike me down with heavenly lightning, don't subject me to such a plot where intelligence is zero, it's giving me a headache.]
[Or perhaps, you were already tired of living and specifically chose a good day to package yourself and offer yourself to Spirit Hall, so you could join your wronged mother in the afterlife?]
[Besides this self-destructive explanation, I couldn't come up with a second plausible reason even if I squeezed my brain dry.]
[In the end, all I can advise is this: never hold any expectations for a rabbit's brain.]
[Every time you think she's already as stupid as the floor, she'll dive through the earth's core with an even more idiotic move, grinding your worldview to dust!]
The assembled characters watched, all speechless.
It seemed that at this moment, they suddenly understood why this Xiao Wu was even more foolish than the previous four female characters.
Just hearing the description made one feel like they were about to die of anger.
[Douluo Era Bibi Dong]: "Good heavens, even I was almost angered to death by this."
[Douluo Era Bibi Dong]: "Compared to this girl, I'm truly a dwarf before a giant. Not bad, not bad, truly worthy of being the fifth-ranked foolish woman."
[Douluo Era God of Evil]: "This ranking is spot on. Every time I thought it couldn't get any dumber."
[Douluo Era God of Evil]: "But then, there were always surprises. Each one stupider than the last!"
[Douluo Era Asura God]: "Sigh, are there no normal people in the lower realms of the Douluo Continent?"
[Douluo Era Asura God]: "I feel like the average IQ of the entire Douluo Continent isn't very high..."
[Douluo Era Qian Renxue]: "Utterly foolish! She ended up killing herself. I'm afraid her spirit rings and spirit bones all fell into Bibi Dong's hands, didn't they?"
[Douluo Era Bibi Dong]: "So what!"
[Douluo Era Bibi Dong]: "It seems I don't need to rush anymore. Even if I didn't catch her now, it won't be difficult to find this rabbit later."
[Douluo Era Xiao Wu]: "Am I... really that stupid..."
[Douluo Era Wang Dong'er]: "Is this my mother? Sigh..."
The characters were all utterly speechless.
Even Xiao Wu herself would probably be angered to death by her own actions.
Douluo Era.
The outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
"I'm stupid, I'm indeed stupid."
Xiao Wu's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping against metal.
"The Light Screen is right. I knew I was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, yet I dared to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament. I dared to use my Soft Bone Rabbit spirit in front of so many Spirit Masters. What is this if not courting death?"
She squatted on the ground, burying her head in her knees, her shoulders heaving violently.
Tears and snot smeared her face, but she paid them no mind.
"When Tang San was absorbing his fourth spirit ring, I actually thought of dying with him..."
"How could I have such a thought?"
"When my mother died, I swore to avenge her."
"But my mind was only filled with Tang San, Tang San, Tang San. I even forgot who I was."
"Sister Xiao Wu!"
The Titan Giant Ape paced anxiously, his thick arms lifting and lowering several times, afraid to touch her.
"The Light Screen is talking nonsense!"
"That thing might not be real!"
"Sister Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you..."
"But I did everything it said."
Xiao Wu suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot, a smile plastered on her face, more painful than crying.
"Er Ming, tell me, if I truly wanted revenge, why didn't I cultivate properly?"
"Why did I have to flaunt myself in the human world?"
"Why did I actively run out when I knew Spirit Hall was looking for me?"
The Titan Giant Ape opened his mouth, but could say nothing.
Tang San squatted in front of her, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Xiao Wu, look at me. Your choices all had reasons. You participated in the tournament to help me..."
"Help you?"
Xiao Wu threw his hand away, shaking with laughter.
"Yes, help you."
"Help my lover, to the point of sending myself down a dead end."
"My mother died so miserably, and before I even found out who her enemy was, I went to help a human boy I'd known for less than a few years."
As she laughed, she started coughing again, curling herself into a ball.
"The light screen is right, I am stupid."
"Stupid beyond redemption."
"I don't deserve to be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, I don't deserve to be a soul beast of the Star Dou Forest, I don't deserve to be my mother's daughter."
Tang Hao leaned against a distant tree trunk, his lips pressed into a thin line.
He watched Tang San's anxious back, then looked at the girl who was crying as if she would die, and sighed heavily, but said nothing.
Tang San was so anxious his forehead was sweating.
"Xiao Wu, listen to me, the light screen only showed fragments, it didn't show your bravery, it didn't show what you did to protect me..."
"Protect?"
Xiao Wu raised her tear-streaked face, her eyes full of self-mockery.
"If I really wanted to protect you, I shouldn't have let my shadow exist in your future."
"If I really wanted what's best for you, I should have stayed far away from you."
"But I didn't. I stuck to you like a piece of dog skin plaster, until the Spirit Hall came looking for me, until you became my enemy with the whole world for my sake."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, until it was almost a whisper.
"What am I even doing..."
The Titan Giant Ape let out a low whimper.
"Sister Xiao Wu, please don't say any more..."
"Er Ming, thank you."
"They trusted me so much, but my mind was filled with nothing but romance."
Xiao Wu smiled again, tears flowing down her smiling wrinkles and into her mouth.
"I didn't even find out how my mother died, and I was so easily captured by the Spirit Hall."
"If my mother knew her daughter was so useless, she'd probably be so angry her soul rings would explode."
She shrank herself even smaller, her voice so quiet it was almost inaudible.
"The light screen was right."
"I'm just a stupid rabbit, a completely stupid rabbit."
Douluo Era.
High in the sky.
The strong wind made Bibi Dong's purple skirt flutter.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood on either side, their soul power fluctuations rippling outwards in the clouds.
"Your Holiness the Pope, we haven't encountered Tang Hao's aura all the way here."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was somewhat scattered by the wind.
"It seems they have indeed entered the Star Dou Forest."
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the distant, vast green outline.
She was silent for a moment, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the gems on her scepter.
"Since we've come out, we can't go back empty-handed."
Her voice was very flat, betraying no emotion.
"Let's check the outer perimeter first."
"If we really can't sense them, we won't go deeper."
"When we are fully prepared, we will hunt that rabbit."
Ghost Douluo nodded.
"Your Holiness is right, the terrain in the depths of the Star Dou Forest is complex, and entering rashly is indeed disadvantageous."
Bibi Dong did not reply, only gazing at the sea of clouds ahead.
The wind poured into her sleeves, and she was completely unaware.
After a while, she suddenly let out a laugh, very light, with a blade-like coldness.
"Little beast."
She chewed on those three words, as if savoring some flavor.
"The Light Screen said you killed yourself."
"Then your spirit rings and spirit bones will be this Seat's."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, neither speaking.
Bibi Dong's tone was light, but they could hear that what was suppressed beneath that faintness was more biting than the gale winds high in the sky.
"You wait."
Bibi Dong's voice scattered in the wind, as if she were speaking to herself.
"When the time comes, this Seat will send you to meet your mother."
"You two mother and daughter can reunite in the underworld!"
