Xiao Wu's Despair!

Xiao Wu's Despair!

What puzzled Ma Hongjun was

why such a huge commotion had failed to alert anyone in the academy.

But after thinking about it, Ma Hongjun more or less understood.

The two of them had probably held back.

That was why they had not disturbed anyone else.

After all, Big Sister Irene knew a great many spells.

It was not impossible for her to seal off this area during the battle

and prevent the sounds of their fight from leaking out.

But although nothing had leaked out yet,

people would still discover it the next day.

After all, this place had been destroyed so thoroughly.

I need to leave quickly, Ma Hongjun thought.

But the moment he took a step,

Ma Hongjun nearly fell over.

At the same time, a burning pain came from his backside.

Ma Hongjun immediately felt helpless.

At the same time, he thought to himself, If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely get even and give Big Sister Irene's butt a good hard spanking.

But when he thought of Big Sister Irene's strength,

he felt that day was incomparably far away.

Still,

people had to have dreams.

Otherwise, what was the difference between them and salted fish?

Just then,

a figure appeared.

Ma Hongjun looked over.

Who else could it be but Xiao Wu?

"Little Fatty, what happened to you?" Xiao Wu's voice rang out.

Her eyes were filled with worry at that moment.

She had first returned to the dormitory.

But after waiting for so long,

Ma Hongjun still had not appeared.

So she began to panic as well.

Not caring about any danger,

she rushed straight over.

The moment she arrived,

she saw Ma Hongjun staggering unsteadily.

Her heart was instantly filled with concern.

At the same time,

she noticed the surrounding environment.

She was deeply shocked as well.

Only a battle between powerful experts could have caused this level of destruction.

Thinking of what Little Fatty had said

and that unseen expert,

Xiao Wu felt intense apprehension.

Ma Hongjun was also stunned when he saw Xiao Wu.

Then he collapsed directly.

Seeing Ma Hongjun like this, Xiao Wu immediately panicked.

She quickly stepped forward and caught Ma Hongjun before he could fall to the ground.

"Little Fatty, are you all right? What exactly happened?" Xiao Wu asked directly.

When Ma Hongjun saw Xiao Wu supporting him,

he simply went with the flow and leaned against her.

He instantly felt that Xiao Wu's body was soft and boneless.

As expected of a Soft Bone Rabbit, Ma Hongjun thought.

At the same time, a sweet fragrance drifted from Xiao Wu's body.

Ma Hongjun felt even more comfortable.

But Xiao Wu was worried about Ma Hongjun's condition.

So she did not notice Ma Hongjun's expression.

Otherwise,

she probably would have ignored him.

Faced with Xiao Wu's question,

Ma Hongjun said, "I'm fine, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu did not quite believe him when she heard his answer.

"You're injured like this, and you're still saying you're fine?" Xiao Wu said.

At that moment, she was worried to the extreme.

Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Ma Hongjun sensed that something was off about Xiao Wu's emotions.

So he raised his head and looked at her.

He found Xiao Wu gazing at him worriedly.

Tears swirled in her eyes.

She looked as though she might cry at any moment.

Ma Hongjun immediately panicked.

He absolutely could not stand seeing girls cry.

He no longer had the mind to enjoy this softness.

"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. I'm really fine. Don't cry!" Ma Hongjun said.

Hearing the anxiety in Ma Hongjun's voice,

Xiao Wu carefully examined his condition again.

In the end, she found that they were only superficial injuries.

She felt much more at ease.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Wu asked again.

Ma Hongjun fell silent when he heard Xiao Wu's question.

Because he did not know how to explain it to Xiao Wu.

Clearly, he could not tell her the truth.

If he did,

Xiao Wu would probably worry even more.

And besides,

she might not leave with him after that.

But for the moment, Ma Hongjun could not come up with a good excuse.

So he remained silent.

Seeing Ma Hongjun fall silent,

Xiao Wu also felt somewhat confused.

So she said directly, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Ma Hongjun immediately said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I just don't know how to explain it right now."

But Ma Hongjun's words only made Xiao Wu even more confused.

Still, Ma Hongjun eventually said, "The person who came for me was very strong. Most importantly, he claimed to be Tang San's father. I don't know whether that's true or not."

Xiao Wu froze when she heard that.

"You're saying Tang San's father came looking for you?" Xiao Wu asked again.

Ma Hongjun nodded once more.

Then he said, "That should be it."

"Why did he come looking for you?" Xiao Wu asked.

But after saying that, Xiao Wu froze.

Because she had already more or less understood.

"Could it be because you beat up Tang San earlier?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.

Because so far,

that was the only reason she could think of.

They had just beaten up Tang San earlier.

Then Ma Hongjun had been called away afterward.

Other than that reason,

Xiao Wu truly could not think of anything else.

Ma Hongjun nodded again.

"That's not wrong," Ma Hongjun said.

If he had not beaten up Tang San tonight,

Tang Hao probably would not have appeared.

Seeing Ma Hongjun nod,

Xiao Wu found it somewhat unbelievable.

But then she became furious.

"How could he do something like that? He's simply going too far!" Xiao Wu said angrily.

But after saying that,

Xiao Wu realized that she seemed to have no way to deal with it.

She immediately felt miserable.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression,

Ma Hongjun roughly understood what she was thinking.

She was probably upset because she could not get revenge!

So Ma Hongjun said directly, "Xiao Wu, don't worry. Aren't I fine now?"

Xiao Wu heard him.

But the worry on her face did not fade.

Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Ma Hongjun knew what she was worried about.

So he said again, "Aren't I fine? He probably won't come looking for trouble with me again in the future."

Xiao Wu was only puzzled when she heard that.

That had been what she was worried about just now.

She was afraid that the other party would come looking for trouble with Ma Hongjun again.

It would have been one thing if someone of that level did not make a move.

But once he did,

and did so by bullying the weak with his strength,

then he would no longer have any scruples.

If that happened,

Ma Hongjun would be in great danger.

But Ma Hongjun was now saying that the other party would not come again.

That was what puzzled Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was straightforward by nature.

But that did not mean she was stupid.

From Ma Hongjun's words,

combined with the battle scene before her,

something else must have happened in between.

So she looked at Ma Hongjun again.

Ma Hongjun said, "I was lucky, really. Just as he was causing trouble for me, it seemed someone was tracking him. Then he fought that person, and these battle marks were caused by them. In the end, both of them disappeared."

Xiao Wu looked at Ma Hongjun in surprise when she heard that.

Ma Hongjun's explanation truly was not very convincing.

Still,

she had not seen what happened at the time.

Combined with what had happened at the scene.

Xiao Wu reluctantly believed him as well.

"Could someone have been hunting him down?" Xiao Wu could not help asking.

"I don't know. I was already unconscious at the time, so I don't know the exact details!" Ma Hongjun said directly.

Although his words seemed full of holes.

Without experiencing it firsthand.

Who could know what had really happened here?

As for whether Tang Hao would tell anyone?

The answer was definitely no.

Tang Hao would absolutely not reveal it.

So Ma Hongjun felt no pressure saying it this way.

Xiao Wu was half-convinced and half-doubtful.

But Ma Hongjun really was unharmed now.

So she stopped dwelling on the matter.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression.

Ma Hongjun continued, "Xiao Wu, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Xiao Wu asked.

"If I were to leave this place, would you be willing to leave with me?" Ma Hongjun said bluntly.

This matter could not be delayed.

So Ma Hongjun brought it up right away.

Xiao Wu froze when she heard that.

She had not expected Ma Hongjun to have such thoughts.

"Is it because of Tang San's father?" Xiao Wu asked.

That was the only reason she could think of.

Things had already reached this point.

So Ma Hongjun did not give any other reason.

He simply nodded.

Then he said, "I may have been lucky to escape disaster tonight, but there's no guarantee he won't come after me again. If that happens, this place won't be safe. Besides, I discovered something."

"What did you discover?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Xiao Wu, do you know what level of powerhouse Tang San's father is?" Ma Hongjun asked instead.

Xiao Wu's heart immediately skipped a beat.

She had a bad feeling.

"What level of powerhouse is he?" Xiao Wu asked.

But in her view.

In a small place like this.

At most, he could only be a Soul Sage.

Ma Hongjun's expression turned grave.

He said directly, "I saw nine Soul Rings on him."

"N-Nine Soul Rings?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

She said in disbelief, "A Title Douluo? Tang San's father is a Title Douluo?"

Looking at Xiao Wu's blank stare.

Ma Hongjun nodded solemnly.

When she saw him nod.

Xiao Wu's body trembled.

If he was a Title Douluo.

Had her identity already been exposed?

A Soul Douluo-level powerhouse might still fail to see through her true form.

But a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

Could absolutely not fail to see through it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu asked again, "Did he say anything strange to you? And has he been watching Tang San all along?"

When Ma Hongjun heard Xiao Wu's question.

He understood that Xiao Wu had become suspicious.

So Ma Hongjun said again, "He should have been protecting Tang San in secret. Everything we did was under his surveillance. Otherwise, he would not have appeared immediately just because I beat up Tang San."

After hearing Ma Hongjun's words.

Xiao Wu felt even more uneasy.

She was now certain.

Tang San's father had definitely discovered her identity.

Thinking that a Title Douluo knew who she was.

Xiao Wu could not stop her heart from trembling.

Her body began to shake slightly as well.

Naturally, Ma Hongjun noticed Xiao Wu's state.

He pulled Xiao Wu into his arms.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu? Are you all right?" Ma Hongjun asked.

Xiao Wu looked at Ma Hongjun.

There was a trace of reluctance in her eyes.

If that person had truly seen through her real form.

Then her fate was already sealed.

For that reason, she felt a little desolate inside.

She believed no one could resist the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

"Oh, right. Tang San's father said some strange things to me," Ma Hongjun said again.

Xiao Wu immediately asked, "What did he say?"

At that moment, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

Ma Hongjun revealed a puzzled expression before saying, "He told me to leave you."

When Xiao Wu heard that.

Her face immediately turned deathly pale.

Ma Hongjun's words had confirmed it for her.

The other party definitely knew her identity.

Otherwise, he would not have said such things to Ma Hongjun.

She had only just entered the human world, yet she had already been discovered.

Was this simply her fate? Xiao Wu felt lost.

When Ma Hongjun saw Xiao Wu's face turn pale and her body begin to tremble.

He immediately felt regret.

Had he spoken too soon?

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. We'll be fine," Ma Hongjun said directly.

Xiao Wu looked at Ma Hongjun when she heard that.

But her eyes no longer held their former liveliness.

Seeing this.

Ma Hongjun's heart ached.

"Chubby, you should have agreed to him. Leave me. I'm not worth you risking yourself for," Xiao Wu said directly.

Ma Hongjun was deeply moved.

For Xiao Wu to say something like that.

It showed that he already held a very important place in her heart.

So he said firmly, "How could I? I can agree to anything else he asks. But this one thing is absolutely impossible."

Xiao Wu was stunned.

She had not expected the chubby boy before her to be so resolute.

Most importantly, the person he was facing was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

To be honest.

Xiao Wu was truly moved by Ma Hongjun at that moment.

"Chubby..." Xiao Wu did not know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Xiao Wu's touched expression.

Ma Hongjun said again, "Xiao Wu, do you believe me?"

Faced with Ma Hongjun's question.

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Ma Hongjun continued, "Xiao Wu, you have to believe me. I will never leave you unless I die."

"No." Xiao Wu immediately spoke when she heard that.

By then, Xiao Wu's eyes were already full of tears.

Ma Hongjun merely wiped away her tears slowly.

Then he said seriously once more, "Xiao Wu, believe me. I will protect you, even if he is a Title Douluo."

Xiao Wu could no longer hold back.

She threw herself straight into Ma Hongjun's arms.

Feeling Xiao Wu tremble in his embrace.

Ma Hongjun felt incomparably regretful.

If he had known, he would not have told her this.

Perhaps keeping it from Xiao Wu would not have been a bad thing.

But at this moment.

Ma Hongjun could only give Xiao Wu a sense of security through a firm embrace.

He hoped to calm Xiao Wu down this way.

And Xiao Wu did indeed feel a trace of reassurance in Ma Hongjun's arms.

But when she thought of the other party's strength.

She still felt despair.

At the same time, she secretly made a decision.

She would find an opportunity to leave Ma Hongjun.

And she had also figured it out.

Tang San's father had probably sought out Ma Hongjun because of her.
