Xiao Wu Misses Her Mother (6th update)

Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue was absolutely furious right now!

"Damnable!"

"Truly, like teacher, like student. Hu Liena, oh Hu Liena, you have failed to live up to the reward I gave you. You are actually just as foolish as that woman."

"That accursed Tang San is already a mortal enemy of Spirit Hall, how could you possibly..."

Muttering this far, Qian Renxue suddenly froze. Hadn't Su Chen said something earlier about her not being any better than Bibi Dong?

No!

I, Qian Renxue, am merely soft-hearted; I would never have a love-addled brain!

I am a woman dedicated solely to her career.

However.

Qian Renxue had forgotten that she was Bibi Dong's own daughter; how much better could she really be?

A love-addled brain—it was hereditary.

On the other side.

Xiao Wu, who was currently traveling with Tang San, felt completely numb.

Sacrifice?

My heavens!

She actually sacrificed herself for Tang San?

Although she had gotten along very well with Tang San during those six years at Nuoding Academy, at this point in time, it was nowhere near the moment for a sacrifice to occur.

Furthermore, after learning from Su Chen's Diary Copy that "Brother San" was actually "Uncle San," the resistance in her heart toward those brother-sister romantic feelings began to grow significantly.

A twenty-nine-year-old creepy uncle!

How could things ever be as beautiful and innocent as before? There was no going back.

Of course!

At this moment, Xiao Wu wanted to run; she wanted to flee back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

She missed Da Ming and Er Ming.

Wait?

Xiao Wu's heart suddenly trembled again. In the end, Da Ming and Er Ming would also be unable to escape death...

Even if she returned to the Star Dou Great Forest now and never came out, that woman from Spirit Hall would eventually enter to hunt her down, along with Da Ming and Er Ming!

How detestable!

Was there truly no path to survival for Sister Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu's heart was filled with despair.

It was not hard to see from the diary's contents that she was truly doomed to die, and that Da Ming and Er Ming would die as well.

Did soul beasts have no rights at all?

Xiao Wu's mind began to race, searching for a way to avoid death, a way to save Da Ming and Er Ming, a way to... In the past, I had no choice, but now, I want to be a good person!

Su Chen!

Xiao Wu suddenly thought that if there was anyone with the strength and ability to save her, to save Da Ming and Er Ming, it could only be Su Chen.

However, she didn't know Su Chen, and he had absolutely no reason to help her. And besides! If she took the initiative to find him and beg for his help, what if he coveted her soul ring?

Perhaps! A person as powerful as Su Chen wouldn't be eyeing her for a soul ring, but how would he ever be willing to help her?

For a moment, Xiao Wu felt that her rabbit life was hopeless. Under normal circumstances, she, Da Ming, and Er Ming would all die, and now that Bibi Dong and the others had the Diary Copy, wasn't she even more surely doomed?

Mother, what should Xiao Wu do?

This child.

When she went out to fall in love, she couldn't remember to avenge her mother, but now that she knew she was going to die, she suddenly remembered her.

However.

A child is always a mother's treasure.

In a realm of endless darkness, Xiao Wu's mother, A Rou, knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the contents of the diary.

"Xiao Wu, my child... you are actually going to sacrifice yourself for a human, and Da Ming and Er Ming, they too..."

"No!"

"Su Chen, I beg you, write more! Let me see Xiao Wu's fate, let Xiao Wu see her own fate, save my child!"

"If you can do this, I will pray for your blessings forever!"

"Xiao Wu... my child..."

She cried out in the endless darkness. No one knew where this place was, and no one would ever know of her existence or hear her voice.

Sunset Forest.

After finishing his diary entry, Su Chen quickened his pace alongside Dugu Bo, and the group of four arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Dugu Bo stopped in his tracks, looking at Su Chen with a smile on his face as he said:

"Kid, this is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Didn't you say you wanted to challenge me earlier? Then try this first—see if you can even make it through my poison formation!"

Dugu Bo knew that the power within Su Chen's body was immense, but having great strength didn't mean he could withstand his poison!

Dugu Yan looked speechless, interjecting in protest: "Grandfather, didn't you say before that it's impossible for anyone below the Soul Saint level to withstand this poison formation?"

"Su Chen only has eighteen levels of soul power, how could he possibly enter your poison formation!"

Su Chen felt a bit helpless, looking at Dugu Bo as he replied:

"Is this how you test me?"

"I really don't know what to say. I've already told you I can cure your poison; do you really think this poison formation can do anything to me?"

Dugu Bo said calmly:

"Being able to cure our poison doesn't mean you aren't afraid of it. If you can't even enter this formation, there's no need for you to compete with me at all."

Su Chen nodded, acknowledging that Dugu Bo had a point, then walked straight into the poisonous mist, standing inside and quietly watching the... expressionless Dugu Bo outside.

"How is this possible?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Dugu Bo was completely unsettled; his expression was as if he had swallowed a giant fly, because Su Chen was not only not using soul power inside the mist, but he wasn't even using that strange power of his.

This was simply too terrifying.

Dugu Yan also covered her small mouth in shock, saying incredulously: "Su Chen, are... are you even human? How can you withstand this poisonous mist without using any power to defend yourself?"

Ye Lingling felt increasingly shocked as well; this man was becoming more and more mysterious and powerful.

Whose man is this?

Oh!

He is my man, never mind then.

After finishing his demonstration for Dugu Bo, Su Chen walked out, looking calm and composed:

"Just a small trick, let's go in together."

With that said, Su Chen walked to Ye Lingling's side, took her small hand, and a powerful force erupted from within his body. A circular water barrier, "Three Origins Into One," enveloped the two of them as they walked into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Su Chen's Three Points Return to Origin was already powerful, and when combined with the high poison resistance of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Turtle Breathing Skill, the mere poisonous mist naturally couldn't do anything to him.

Dugu Bo walked behind with his granddaughter, his expression growing increasingly grim as he began to feel depressed.

Damn it!

So this little bastard isn't afraid of poison; no wonder he wanted to challenge me. And his power barrier is so formidable—I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to break it!

This is going to be a disaster.

The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His greatest strength was his use of poison, yet Su Chen wasn't afraid of it, and the three types of power within his body could fuse, rivaling the strength of a Titled Douluo.

The key was:

This kid's moves were bizarre and all instantaneous; he didn't need to manifest his martial soul or chant soul spells at all, making him impossible to guard against.

If he competed against him, he would likely lose.

But.

He was at his age, and losing to an eighteen-year-old kid—in front of his own granddaughter, no less—how could he ever accept that!

The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the less confident he felt. He immediately made a decision: no matter what Su Chen said later, he would not serve as a benchmark for his combat power; the trade-off simply wasn't worth it.
