Tang San Is a Girl? And I'm Xiao Wu!

"That's not right! You're Tang San... How are you a girl?! Huh?!"

Outside Dorm Seven at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, Lin Wu gripped the shoulders of the girl before him, as if struck by lightning.

The "Tang San" he held down blinked her large, watery eyes, her long lashes fluttering like feathered fans.

She tilted her head slightly, her fair, delicate little face full of confusion and unease.

Perhaps embarrassed at being suddenly grabbed by a strange boy, she turned her head aside. A faint blush quietly crept up her pale ears.

"Classmate... do we know each other? Besides, I've always been a girl. Is there a problem?"

Looking at the budding-daisy-like girl before him, Lin Wu's brain crashed.

Was there a problem? There was a huge problem!

Oh no. Something about the course of this world was seriously, seriously wrong!

This had to be explained starting from six years ago.

Lin Wu was actually a transmigrator. One day, he opened his eyes and discovered that he had come to the Douluo Continent, where he had become a Soft Bone Rabbit that ate carrots.

At first, Lin Wu had undoubtedly been devastated!

After all, one second he had been a proud, full-grown man, and the next he had become a weak little rabbit. Anyone who did not break down from that gap would be superhuman.

Fortunately, heaven never barred every path. Just as Lin Wu worried that he would become some soul master's soul ring—

A strange glow filled with pink hearts lit up from his body without warning.

That was how he unexpectedly obtained the Love God's inheritance, which should have been in Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, and began the Love God's Nine Trials!

Along with the inheritance of the divine seat came an utterly heaven-defying talent:

He could bind anyone as a contract beast at will, sharing their fate, talent, and even destiny—and could even enslave them further!

The prerequisite was that they were willing, or weaker than him.

How could such an ability not send Lin Wu into wild delight!

After all, the Douluo Continent had another famous name: the Continent of Romance!

In this world, where people could discard every underlying principle for love and even destroy heaven and earth—

Obtaining the Love God's inheritance was practically the same as holding a pass to become a God King!

This was absolutely the makings of a God King!

However, before he could celebrate for long, he suddenly remembered something that made him extremely unhappy:

Before dying, that damned Dragon God had decreed an iron law for the Douluo Continent: unless the Dragon God returned, soul beasts could not become gods!

On top of that, five seemingly upright God Kings had been stirring things up behind the scenes.

Even if he possessed an incredible divine inheritance and completed the Love God's Nine Trials, as long as his original body was a rabbit, he still could not become a god!

That left him sitting on a treasure mountain with no way to cash it in.

Still, one thing comforted Lin Wu: this rabbit's "beginner village treatment" was pretty decent.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, two breathtakingly beautiful and powerful female guardians had been caring for him with meticulous attention.

Under the devoted care of those two understanding older sisters, Lin Wu had lived quite comfortably over the past six years.

Moreover, relying on the foundation laid by the Love God's inheritance, he had smoothly made it through the early stages of transmigration and become a glorious hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

And ever since obtaining the Love God's inheritance, he felt as though his entire body radiated seductive charm that he simply could not suppress! It sometimes made him worry that someone would bend him over one day.

Every day, he was teased by two older sisters who had taken human form from soul beasts!

And so, when he reached six years old, he naturally chose to take human form.

On the day he transformed, he looked at the red-lipped, white-toothed, dazzlingly charming youth in the mirror and could not help harboring an absurd suspicion!

After all, his original body was a Soft Bone Rabbit, he had been raised by hundred-thousand-year guardians, he had taken human form, and his name even contained the character "Wu"...

The setup and configuration looked exactly like Xiao Wu, the original novel's female lead!

Lin Wu had suspected countless times that he had transmigrated into the legendary "Xiao Wu."

But every time he looked down at the "lethal weapon" in his pants, Lin Wu swiftly dismissed that absurd thought.

What a joke!

Xiao Wu was a delicate little girl with a scorpion braid and a pink pleated skirt.

He, on the other hand, was a proud, bona fide straight man with all the right equipment!

Besides, the world was vast and full of strange things. Perhaps it was merely some coincidence.

He did not know whether the real Xiao Wu had taken human form by now, or whether she was simply not in this region at all.

But it did not matter. He had long since made his plan—he would go to Nuoding Academy to find Tang San!

He intended to imitate "Xiao Wu's" path in the original novel and enroll at Nuoding Academy as a work-study student.

If he could cling to Tang San's thigh and mooch off a few benefits, would he not be able to strut across the continent in the future?

Better yet, with the Love God's contract ability, as long as he found an opportunity to bind himself to Tang San—

While Tang San was weak, or even vulnerable, he might be able to train him into his own preferred shape and turn him into his exclusive contract beast.

At the very least, he could ride the coattails of the future Sea God and Asura God's destiny.

Perhaps once they reached the God Realm, with Little San backing him up against the iron law that soul beasts could not become gods, would that not be wonderful?

As a transmigrator familiar with the plot, Lin Wu had a very level-headed mindset:

He would not mess around, would peacefully cling to powerful thighs, and watch the drama unfold along the way.

If possible, he would use the charm granted by the Love God's inheritance to find a little girl to fall in love with and experience romance for himself.

Carrying hopes for a wonderful future, Lin Wu arrived at Dorm Seven, where the academy's only two work-study students lived.

To leave a deep first impression on this future God King, Lin Wu had even rehearsed countless times on the way:

For example, he would push open the door and see Tang San, an ordinary-faced, dark, skinny little tiger in patched clothes.

Then he would proudly lift his chin and say, "My name is Lin Wu—Wu as in dance. My martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. Let's have a spar!"

Until just now.

Until he had personally grabbed this girl named "Tang San" outside Dorm Seven.

When he pushed open Dorm Seven's creaking wooden door and prepared to welcome the arrival of God King Tang—

He saw only a girl standing at the entrance, with delicate features and a cool, aloof temperament.

Even though she was wrapped in nothing but patched clothing, it could not conceal the liveliness in her bones.

Her skin was like snow, her brows like a painting, especially those black eyes that resembled autumn water.

A faint layer of purple mist seemed to ripple within them, giving off an indescribably bewitching air.

Her smooth black hair was tied behind her head with a simple ribbon.

Her slender figure appeared especially slight beneath the oversized work-study uniform.

Lin Wu went completely numb.

This was fucking Tang San?!

Where was the dark, skinny blacksmith boy he had been promised?

Who the hell was this pretty, lovable little girl in front of him?!

"Um... are you okay?"

A gentle voice pulled Lin Wu back from his chaotic memories.

Startled awake, Lin Wu's mouth twitched. The hand that had been pressing Tang San's shoulder jerked back as if burned.

He took half a step back, staring at Tang San as though she were some unbelievable spectacle.

Girl Tang San was completely unaware of this.

She merely thought the exceptionally handsome boy before her was strange, blinking softly in confusion.

Lin Wu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly. "Y-you... are you really called Tang San?"

"Mm, I'm Tang San."

The petite girl nodded timidly.

His sudden intense reaction seemed to have frightened her. She instinctively took a small step back and added quietly.

"Tang as in absurd, San as in three."

Lin Wu froze in place.

It felt as if ten thousand Titan Giant Apes were stampeding through his mind.

Tang San... was a girl?!

Wait...

Lin Wu's thoughts began to race backward wildly.

Fragmented clues rapidly came together in his mind.

If Tang San was a girl...

Then "Xiao Wu," who had slept beside Tang San, shared countless tender moments with her, and ultimately sacrificed herself and took human form in the original novel...

Lin Wu slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Then he recalled his origins as a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.

And the two guardians in the Star Dou Great Forest who had cared for him so devotedly.

"Sitting bolt upright on my deathbed... Xiao Wu is actually me?!"
