Confessing Her Identity!

Confessing Her Identity!

A Title Douluo-level powerhouse would not come looking for trouble just to fight children.

It had to be because of her.

At that thought,

Xiao Wu once again felt Ma Hongjun's embrace.

In the end, she made up her mind.

She decided to leave this place.

If she stayed here, she would probably only bring danger to Ma Hongjun.

Of course, she did not know whether she could escape Tang San's father's clutches.

But as long as she could return to Star Dou Forest,

she should no longer be in danger.

Because her companions were there.

Da Ming and Er Ming.

With their strength,

they would not fear ordinary Title Douluo at all.

Under such circumstances,

she would be safe.

And next,

she needed to cultivate diligently.

As long as she reached level seventy soon, the Soul Sage realm,

she would truly complete her transformation.

By then, no one would be able to see her true form.

That way, she could enter the human world again.

As for Ma Hongjun,

Xiao Wu was not too worried about him.

Because the little fatty before her was the most gifted person she had ever seen.

Tang San was already so outstanding.

Yet Ma Hongjun before her was even more outstanding.

When that time came,

she could come back out and find Ma Hongjun again.

That was Xiao Wu's plan.

Once she had a plan, Xiao Wu gradually calmed down.

If she was discovered on the way back,

then it meant that fate had decreed it.

In that case, there was nothing to complain about.

Ma Hongjun watched Xiao Wu's every movement as well.

He saw her go from frightened to calm.

Ma Hongjun finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had still underestimated the deterrent power that a Title Douluo held over the Soul Masters of this world.

Especially for Xiao Wu, who was a Soul Beast.

"It's okay, Xiao Wu," Ma Hongjun said again.

For now, Ma Hongjun could only use words like these to comfort Xiao Wu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu opened her eyes wide and looked at Ma Hongjun.

It was as though she wanted to remember that face forever.

Seeing Xiao Wu like this,

Ma Hongjun's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Ma Hongjun asked again.

Seeing the concern in Ma Hongjun's eyes,

Xiao Wu was even more moved.

At the same time, a deep reluctance welled up in her heart.

If she left,

would the little fatty before her be sad?

And if she left,

when she met Ma Hongjun again in the future,

would he still remember her?

Or perhaps, what if the little fatty had fallen for someone else by then?

Each of these thoughts made Xiao Wu feel miserable.

So she subconsciously raised her head and looked at Ma Hongjun.

Her large eyes fluttered.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Yet at the corners of her eyes, there were still traces of tears.

Those were left from when she had worried about Ma Hongjun earlier.

"Little fatty, if I leave, will you miss me?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.

In the end, Xiao Wu still asked it without thinking.

Because this was the cruelest thing in the world.

The two had only just confirmed their feelings for each other, yet they had to separate again.

Especially since, after parting, they did not even know whether they would have another chance to meet.

So after Xiao Wu said those words, mist gathered in her eyes again.

Ma Hongjun was stunned when he heard Xiao Wu's words.

What did Xiao Wu mean by that?

Not only had she not agreed to leave with him,

she was even going to leave him directly?

Ma Hongjun was left dumbfounded.

In the end, he realized

that what he had just said had probably frightened Xiao Wu.

Although Xiao Wu appeared to have calmed down now,

she was probably still incredibly worried inside.

At that thought, Ma Hongjun smiled bitterly.

This was not a situation he had expected.

But then an idea struck him.

For Xiao Wu to say that,

it meant she already had her own plans.

Where could she go at this stage?

The answer was already obvious.

If she left the human world,

Xiao Wu's best destination went without saying.

It was her hometown, Star Dou Forest.

Only once she reached Star Dou Forest

would Xiao Wu be like a dragon returning to the sea.

Returning home.

There,

Xiao Wu had two little brothers.

And their strength was anything but ordinary.

With their protection,

even Tang Hao,

if he was alone,

would have no way to do anything to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu would truly be safe that way.

But if that happened,

Ma Hongjun still felt stifled.

He had only just confirmed his relationship with Xiao Wu.

And now they had to separate again.

It was truly painful.

This was the consequence of not being strong enough.

At that thought,

Ma Hongjun's desire to grow stronger became more intense than ever.

Tang Hao had been driven away by big sister Irene.

But just as Ma Hongjun had said before,

what if Tang Hao suddenly lost his mind one day

and decided to kill Xiao Wu outright?

What could he use to stop him?

Thinking about it this way,

Ma Hongjun instantly felt that his and Xiao Wu's current situation was truly dangerous.

And there was another problem.

That was, if Xiao Wu planned to leave,

would Tang Hao appear again directly?

That was also a problem.

Thinking of all this,

Ma Hongjun frowned tightly.

It seemed that every path was incomparably dangerous!

But no matter what,

they had to give it a try.

Because Xiao Wu's words had also made him think of another way.

That was to escort Xiao Wu back to Star Dou Forest.

Ma Hongjun had not considered this before.

He had wanted to take Xiao Wu away

and return to Shrek Academy.

To leave Xiao Wu at Shrek.

But now,

it seemed that this was also very dangerous.

Because even within the academy,

Xiao Wu would not necessarily be safe.

Flender and the others were only Soul Sages.

And Ma Hongjun needed to go to certain places to check in.

The two had already confirmed their relationship.

It would not feel right to leave Xiao Wu at Shrek either.

It had to be said,

Xiao Wu's question had reminded Ma Hongjun of something.

Meanwhile, seeing Ma Hongjun fall silent,

Xiao Wu felt utterly miserable.

Ma Hongjun also saw Xiao Wu's expression.

Seeing that she was on the verge of tears,

his heart ached terribly.

He simply stopped thinking about it.

It was better to steady Xiao Wu's emotions first.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly.

Those damned members of the Tang family.

Of course.

He understood it in his heart as well.

If he had not appeared,

none of this would have happened.

However,

he had no such awareness of blaming himself.

Naturally, the fault lay with the Tang family.

Wasn't that exactly what Tang San did?

Whether it was his fault or not,

it was always the opponent's fault.

By then, they had already reached the academy's pavilion.

The two of them temporarily stopped walking.

They had already moved far away from the battlefield.

Even if someone saw them now,

they would not suspect them in the slightest.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders,

they were merely children.

How could they possibly have caused that battle scene?

Inside the pavilion,

the two stopped.

Ma Hongjun gently wiped away the tears at the corners of Xiao Wu's eyes.

"How could I possibly forget you? I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Don't overthink it, okay?" Ma Hongjun said directly.

At his words, Xiao Wu revealed a delighted expression.

As long as she had those words from Ma Hongjun,

she felt much better inside.

Still, she asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Truer than real gold." Ma Hongjun immediately said, patting his chest.

Seeing Ma Hongjun like this,

Xiao Wu smiled as well.

She also believed that what Ma Hongjun said was true.

But the next moment, when she thought of having to leave,

she still felt somewhat sad.

Perhaps this time,

she would never see Ma Hongjun before her again.

"Xiao Wu, what did you mean just now? Are you leaving me?" Ma Hongjun said directly.

Xiao Wu fell silent as well.

Seeing that Xiao Wu did not speak,

Ma Hongjun became even more certain of his thoughts.

This little rabbit was probably truly planning to leave.

So Ma Hongjun directly asked, "Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words,

Xiao Wu understood that he had grasped what she meant.

This time, she did not hesitate.

She said directly, "Little fatty, don't worry. I have somewhere to go."

As for where she was going, Xiao Wu still did not say.

Because saying it would only make Ma Hongjun feel strange.

But the next moment,

Ma Hongjun's words made her eyes widen.

"You're going to the Star Dou Forest, right?" Ma Hongjun said directly.

The moment he said it,

Ma Hongjun felt a trace of regret.

But he quickly thought it through.

Since he and Xiao Wu had already reached this point in their relationship,

it might be better to lay everything out in the open.

After all, she would have to know sooner or later.

It would be better to make things clear now.

That way,

Xiao Wu would feel much more at ease.

Whatever happened, they could face it together.

Xiao Wu was utterly shocked.

But she did not reveal herself right away.

Instead, she asked again, "Why would I go to the Star Dou Forest?"

It was not that she did not trust Ma Hongjun.

Her identity was simply too special.

And what worried her most was,

what would Ma Hongjun before her do if he learned her true identity?

Would he want to hunt and kill her like the others?

Or would he stay away from her from then on?

No matter which outcome it was,

neither was something Xiao Wu could accept now.

She had only just accepted Ma Hongjun in her heart.

Naturally, she did not want things to turn out this way.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words,

Ma Hongjun smiled as well.

This little rabbit was still highly vigilant.

But since he had already decided to be honest,

there was nothing left to hesitate over.

So Ma Hongjun leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and said, "Isn't the Star Dou Forest your home, my adorable little rabbit?"

Ma Hongjun's current actions could be described as extremely intimate with Xiao Wu.

He practically whispered against her ear.

Under normal circumstances,

Xiao Wu's face would surely have flushed red.

Then she would have shyly pushed Ma Hongjun away.

But at this moment,

her reaction was completely the opposite.

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun say this,

her face immediately turned deathly pale.

Since Ma Hongjun had said that,

it meant that the Ma Hongjun before her already knew her identity.

Then what would he do next?

Xiao Wu was filled with immense worry.

Seeing Xiao Wu's face turn pale,

Ma Hongjun no longer hesitated.

He said again, "Xiao Wu. Actually, no matter what your identity is, I still like you."

Ma Hongjun's words made Xiao Wu raise her head again.

But this time,

the look in Xiao Wu's eyes was no longer the same as before.

Instead, there was some wariness in them.

Because she had thought of many things.

Had Ma Hongjun before her known her identity all along?

Then what exactly was his purpose in staying by her side? Did he truly like her?

Xiao Wu could not help but have such doubts.

It was not really Xiao Wu's fault for thinking this way.

The main reason was that too many things had happened tonight.

Again and again, they had exceeded her expectations.

So at this moment, her thoughts were highly sensitive.

It was only natural for her to think this way.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression,

Ma Hongjun immediately understood what she was thinking.

But he was not flustered at all.

Since he had said it,

he had already anticipated this outcome.

"Xiao Wu. Are you suspicious of my purpose for being by your side?" Ma Hongjun said directly.

Xiao Wu did not speak at this moment.

She merely looked quietly at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun did not waste words.

He said again, "I did indeed have a purpose in being by your side."

Those words made Xiao Wu tremble in body and soul.

But Ma Hongjun smiled.

Then he said with utter seriousness, "My purpose was you. From the very first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you."

Xiao Wu still did not speak.

She seemed to be considering how truthful Ma Hongjun's words were.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun was not anxious.

He continued, "I don't care about your identity. I've already regarded you as my girlfriend anyway. I originally didn't want to say it, but I thought there shouldn't be any secrets between us, so I told you after all."

This time, Xiao Wu finally spoke.

"How did you know my identity? When did you find out?"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun rejoiced inwardly.

Then he said, "I actually only learned your identity just now."

Xiao Wu heard this.

She instantly felt much more at ease.

If Ma Hongjun had only learned her identity tonight,

then his being with her before had not been because of her identity.

That made it far easier for her to accept.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression,

Ma Hongjun knew that his explanation had already gained Xiao Wu's initial acceptance.

He then continued, "Xiao Wu, you know my Martial Soul is somewhat special. More precisely, my second Martial Soul is very special. When I fought Tang San tonight, didn't I summon my second Martial Soul? It was then that I sensed something strange about your aura. After that, I learned your identity."

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words,

Xiao Wu believed him in her heart as well.

Because when Ma Hongjun released his second Martial Soul,

she had also felt that palpitating pressure.

At the time,

she had thought Ma Hongjun's second Martial Soul was very special.

Now it seemed

that her identity had been exposed at that time.

Thus, Xiao Wu also believed Ma Hongjun's explanation.

"Do you really not care about my identity?" Xiao Wu asked somewhat seriously.

"No matter what your identity is, you will always be the Xiao Wu I like," Ma Hongjun said again.

This time, his voice was incomparably firm.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu could also sense the sincerity in Ma Hongjun's words.

She immediately understood that the little fatty before her was serious.
