As the Saying Goes, Rabbits Eat the Grass Near Their Burrows! When It Comes to Stealing Wives, Avenger Is a Pro

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Avenger, you've already dug up their mom and planted her in your backyard. What's one more wife? It's no big deal~

[Will of Douluo Planet]: As the saying goes, stealing a stalk of Blue Silver Grass is still stealing, and stealing a Soft Bone Rabbit is still stealing. Why not make it a pair and form the "Grass-Rabbit Duo"!

[Goddess of Life]: As the saying goes: rabbits love to eat the grass near their burrows? (￣y▽￣)~* covers her mouth and snickers

[Xiao Chenyu]: Who came up with that saying? Don't tell me it was Lu Xun. (￢_￢)

[Will of Douluo Planet]: I just made it up. Hehe~ (≧ω≦)/

[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Steal! Steal! Steal! Steal his mom! Steal his wife! Make Tang San furious! Leave Tang San single!

The Titan Giant Ape fell silent for a long while.

[Titan Giant Ape]: ...Why do I feel like things are taking a strange turn?

[Titan Giant Ape]: I came to ask Avenger to save Sister Xiao Wu. How did we end up discussing Avenger stealing Sister Xiao Wu to be his wife?

[Titan Giant Ape]: I even paid three God Blood Beads. Did I get swindled?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: No, no! Absolutely not!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: We're a legitimate Avengers. The Chat Group leader, Will of the God Realm, personally certified us. Our services include, but aren't limited to: digging up Tang San's mother, swindling Tang San out of his secret manuals, stealing Tang San's wife, and sabotaging Tang San's fortune!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Every service has been rigorously audited by our esteemed group leader. Honest prices, no deception! (≧▽≦)ﾉ

[Titan Giant Ape]: But why does that sound... even less legitimate?

[God of Destruction]: Enough. Back to business.

[God of Destruction]: Douluo Planet, tell Chenyu exactly when and where Xiao Wu will transform, so he can prepare in advance.

If they were going to snatch Tang San's destined opportunities, they had to make absolutely sure nothing went wrong.

This wasn't about stealing a wife. It was about cutting off the roots of his fortune.

Xiao Chenyu watched the discussion in the chat group turn serious again and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long breath.

Things had certainly taken an unexpected turn.

I only wanted to weaken Tang San's fortune. How did my to-do list keep getting longer until stealing his wife became part of the plan?

He counted on his fingers.

The secret manuals, swindled away.

His mother, dug up and planted in the backyard.

The Soul Bone, fused with himself.

The sect, its trademark already registered in his mind.

And now, a wife.

At this rate, Tang San would soon be plucked bald.

Would the great Child of Destiny end up as the Abandoned Child of Heaven?

"But then again, Tang San deserves it."

Xiao Chenyu felt no guilt whatsoever.

Xiao Chenyu typed one last message in the chat group.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Everyone, I know what to do. I'll handle Xiao Wu's situation properly.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Also, Er Ming, don't worry. My mission is to weaken Tang San's fortune. As for who Xiao Wu likes in the future, that's her choice. I won't make that decision for her.

[Titan Giant Ape]: ...Thank you.

[Titan Giant Ape]: I trust you, Avenger. Those three God Blood Beads were well spent.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: All right! Then let me explain Xiao Wu's movements after she transforms in detail. Avenger, get your little notebook ready! ٩(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Xiao Wu currently lives at the Lake of Life, in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!

"..."

Xiao Chenyu fell silent when he saw that message.

"???"

His hand froze in midair.

The Lake of Life.

The very heart of the Star Dou Great Forest's core area.

The lair of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

The Soul Beast density there was comparable to a crowded morning market.

Every beast was at least ten thousand years old. In the core area, thousand-year Soul Beasts were only fit to be food.

He was a sixteen-level Soul Master. Forget reaching the Lake of Life—before he even set foot in the outer edge of the core area, a pack of Soul Beasts would tear him apart and split him like takeout.

They could carve this on his tombstone: "This man tried to deliver takeout in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Sadly, the customer refused delivery."

[Xiao Chenyu]: Are you messing with me?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Oh, right! I forgot to mention that Xiao Wu hasn't transformed yet.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: She's still a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, currently snoozing by the Lake of Life! She's sleeping so soundly, her ears are twitching! (≧▽≦)ﾉ

"Huh?"

Xiao Chenyu was dumbfounded.

She hadn't transformed!

She was still in her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast form!

Even if he had a thousand lives, there was no way he could go to the Lake of Life and tell a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, "Hello, I'm here to save you. Please come with me."

Wouldn't that be insane?

Xiao Wu probably wouldn't even bother replying. She'd just kick him flying.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Sorry~ I got so excited that I forgot to consider the practicalities.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: After all, I'm a plane's will. I don't see things from quite the same perspective as you humans.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: But don't worry. Xiao Wu probably won't transform for another year or so. After transforming, she'll leave the Star Dou Great Forest for the human world. Then Avenger will have a chance to meet her! (◦˙▽˙◦)

[Xiao Chenyu]: ...At least the timeline works.

[God of Destruction]: No rush. Tang San is only five years old right now, and he won't head to Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy for another year either. Time is on your side. You have a whole year to make your plans.

[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi is right.

[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu, bringing Tang San down won't happen overnight. You need to plan on every front. Every stage can become a battlefield where you chip away at his fortune.

[Goddess of Life]: Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy seems to be his first stop after leaving Holy Soul Village, and it's the place you know best. There's no better starting point.

The Goddess of Life's words sparked an idea in Xiao Chenyu's mind.

"Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy!"

"Exactly!"

It was Tang San's first stop after leaving Holy Soul Village, and the true starting point of his journey to power.

In the original story, Tang San experienced several defining moments there.

For example, humiliating the gatekeeper, becoming Grandmaster's disciple, establishing his authority in the work-study dormitory, meeting Xiao Wu and forging their first bond, and learning the entire body of knowledge about the Soul Master World from Grandmaster.

In a sense, Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy was the decisive tutorial village where Tang San's rise began.

"But what if that tutorial village belonged to me from the very beginning?"

Xiao Chenyu's lips slowly curled up as a bold plan quickly took shape in his mind.

He typed a message in the chat group that made everyone perk up.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Godmother's right. Since I still have a year, I should make some careful plans for Notting Academy.

[Xiao Chenyu]: For example, I could have my dad buy the academy first!

[Goddess of Life]: Not a bad idea. Control the academy, and you control the first step in Tang San's growth.

He'll be on your turf, and you'll have your eyes on everything he does.

[God of Destruction]: But an empty shell of an academy isn't enough.

[God of Destruction]: You need a more detailed plan.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Yeah, I'll have to think it through carefully later.

[Xiao Chenyu]: But first, I need to secure ownership of the academy. You need a foundation before you can build a house.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Time is short and the task is heavy. I'll go talk to Dad about buying the academy. We need to strike while the iron's hot.

Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy was about to get a new owner.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Charge, Avenger! Take over Notting Academy! Let Tang San find out on his first day that the principal is your dad! ٩(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Buy it! Buy it! Tang San won't have a school to attend!

[Titan Giant Ape]: Uh... am I supposed to cheer too? (o_O)?

[God of Destruction]: ...You monkey, you really aren't very bright.

[Goddess of Life]: Go on, child. Whatever you decide, your godmother will be behind you.

[Goddess of Life]: Remember, you're not fighting alone. You have all of us.
