Notting City, Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
After Yu Xiaogang carried him back from the Star Dou Forest, Tang San, gravely injured, had been bedridden and unable to get up.
During this time, Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang took turns caring for him. Otherwise, if his internal injuries worsened, he might have died suddenly at any moment.
Fortunately, thanks to Yu Xiaogang's meticulous care, Tang San's injuries eventually stabilized. All he needed now was quiet recuperation, and he would recover completely within a few months at most.
This finally allowed Yu Xiaogang to breathe a sigh of relief.
Heaven had truly favored him. If this once-in-a-century genius disciple had perished so young, he would have had no desire to go on living either.
Xiao Wu was also greatly relieved.
When she first learned that Tang San had been injured, she spent several days blaming the two of them for not taking her along to the Star Dou Forest.
In her view, with her there, Tang San could never have come to harm in her own backyard.
However, since she could not explain the matter in detail, she eventually stopped bringing it up and instead focused on finding out about the culprit who had injured Tang San.
"Master, who exactly was that person you and Third Brother encountered in the Star Dou Forest? Can you describe his appearance in detail? If possible, why not draw his face directly, so I can remember him well!"
Tang San was naturally happy that Xiao Wu was willing to avenge him.
However, in his eyes, Xiao Wu could not even beat him. Even if she found that person, she would only be walking into her death. For her own good, it was better to keep the details from her for now.
Yet after being questioned for several days in a row, Tang San wavered. Still, he did not want to talk about such an embarrassing matter himself, so he simply pushed it onto Yu Xiaogang and told Xiao Wu to ask Master instead.
That was why Xiao Wu had just asked Yu Xiaogang that question and made that request.
Yu Xiaogang did not refuse. However, as he drew, he reminded her, "This person is extremely powerful. Before you and Xiaosan become strong enough, remember not to seek revenge rashly. Otherwise, you'll only be shooting yourselves in the foot. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly and swore on her character again and again that she would never act impulsively.
Hmph! My true form is a soul beast. What does a vow made on my character have to do with me as a soul beast?
With that thought in mind, Xiao Wu accepted the portrait from Yu Xiaogang and firmly committed the rather handsome face in it to memory.
After thanking Master, she took one last look at Tang San, then left Nuoding Academy and headed straight for Sunset Forest.
Of course, she was not foolish enough to search aimlessly for someone to take revenge on by herself. After all, she only knew what he looked like; she did not even know his name or background.
Her reason for going to Sunset Forest was mainly to find medicinal herbs that could treat Tang San's injuries.
During the time Tang San had been bedridden, besides Yu Xiaogang's attentive care, the herbs she had found had also been a crucial part of his recovery.
Now that the herbs had run out, she needed to find more. Otherwise, it would take Third Brother much longer to recover.
After his soul power rose to level 40, Jiang Xuan had 3,400 Merit Points remaining.
At the same time, a new God-Given Spirit Ring offer appeared.
This time, it required 3,000 Merit Points to purchase.
Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to forget about it for now.
After all, he had only recently obtained his third spirit ring. Even if he immediately acquired a fourth, given the strength of his body, he likely would not be able to reach a limit that satisfied him.
More importantly, his destination was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was filled with immortal herbs. Once he used those herbs to temper his body again before absorbing a spirit ring, he would surely maximize his gains!
After setting his plan, Jiang Xuan took out a map. After checking the route, he estimated that traveling at full speed would take roughly a day.
However, it was already late. After giving it some thought, Jiang Xuan decided to rest for the night and set out after daybreak the next day.
Just as he was about to get a good night's sleep, two low voices conversing outside his door caught Jiang Xuan's attention.
"Boss Dai! Believe me, I definitely didn't see wrong just now. That woman is an absolute knockout among knockouts! Even if neither of us can win her over, I'll be satisfied as long as I can talk to her up close! At worst, after this, you can come back to Shrek Academy with me. Once we're on my turf, I'll compensate you properly!"
The voice was low, and it was unmistakably greasy and lecherous.
Yet the information contained in those words made Jiang Xuan think.
Shrek Academy, Boss Dai, and such a greasy, lecherous voice.
It had to be Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from the original story.
What a coincidence. He had not expected to run into these two in a small city near Heaven Dou City.
But who was the stunning woman Ma Hongjun had just mentioned?
Was she one of the female leads mentioned in the original story?
As Jiang Xuan pondered, Dai Mubai spoke.
"What's with you, Fatty? I already told you I don't want to go to that whatever Academy! And I haven't decided to take you on as my little brother yet, so stop calling me Boss like we're close!"
There was obvious displeasure in his tone, but Ma Hongjun did not seem to care.
"Fine, fine, no Academy. I won't mention the Academy, all right? We can talk about women instead... Don't tell me you aren't interested in beauties?"
At those words, Dai Mubai clearly paused before quietly replying.
"Then let's make this clear first. This time, the only target is the beauty! Whoever can win her over does so with their own ability. Don't mention that Academy again, or don't blame me for turning on you!"
"Then it's a deal!"
"Mm, it's a deal... Fatty, where did you say that beauty's room was?"
"Right ahead! That beauty... no, I should call her a fairy!
The moment that fairy entered this inn, I noticed her.
I carefully followed behind her. Her breathtaking figure and temperament stunned me so much that I barely dared to breathe, afraid she would notice me!
Fortunately, Heaven seemed to be watching over me. She never noticed me until she entered a room by herself! I waited quietly nearby for a while, and after confirming that she probably had no intention of coming back out, I hurried to find you. I'd never keep such a good thing all to myself!"
After hearing Ma Hongjun's description, the nameless fire in Dai Mubai's heart was instantly stirred.
Within the Star Luo Empire, burdened by his identity as a prince, every move he made had to be restrained by moral conventions.
Now, having left his homeland and arrived in the unfamiliar Heaven Dou Empire, the nature he had suppressed for years could finally be unleashed.
