Juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

The next day.

Early in the morning, Tang San had already prepared breakfast. He handed the steaming wild vegetable and mushroom soup, along with some warm flatbread, to Xiao Wu.

Looking at the flatbread in Tang San's hand, a familiar scene surfaced in Xiao Wu's mind. Xiao Wu sneered inwardly and thought to herself:

Unfortunately, I'm not her.

Xiao Wu only accepted the wild vegetable and mushroom soup. With an expressionless face, she said to Tang San, "I don't like flatbread. Keep it for yourself, or it'll go to waste."

Tang San said worriedly, "You'll get hungry very easily if you only drink soup. What else do you want to eat? I'll go make it for you right now."

Xiao Wu shook her head. "I still have some plum blossom pastries I bought on the street earlier. They'll go well with the soup."

As she spoke, she took out a box of plum blossom pastries from her storage ring and began eating.

Tang San stared absentmindedly as Xiao Wu ate the plum blossom pastries and drank the wild vegetable and mushroom soup. He was completely immersed in the warm atmosphere and did not question her possession of a storage ring in the slightest.

When he came back to his senses, his heart remained completely calm. He merely guessed, Xiao Wu's storage ring could only have been a gift from Huo Yuhao.

Tang San suddenly became alert. On second thought, Huo Yuhao treated Xiao Wu so well. What if Xiao Wu ended up liking Huo Yuhao? No, I have to do better than Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had said before that he and Wulin would make it harder for me to pursue Xiao Wu. Those two brats might very well start from this angle and set me up badly. I won't let their scheme succeed.

Tang San wore a thoughtful expression as he silently plotted his plan.

"Brat, thinking about my precious daughter first thing in the morning?"

Wu Tianjiao suddenly appeared behind Tang San and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Tang San did his utmost to bear Wu Tianjiao's immense pressure, but he had no intention of resisting. He merely clenched his teeth and grunted without a word.

Only when he saw Tang San's instinctive reaction—releasing his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, to protect himself against the pressure—did Wu Tianjiao gradually withdraw his aura.

Wu Tianjiao snorted. "This time is only a small lesson. I advise you to stop setting your sights on my daughter."

Tang San said sincerely, "I truly like Xiao Wu. Can you give me this chance?"

Wu Tianjiao crossed his arms. "If that's the case, Xiao Wu is the apple of my eye. How can you guarantee me that you'll keep her safe in your palm forever and never let her suffer the slightest harm?"

Tang San's gaze blazed. "Even if I die, I will protect her with my life. I will never let Xiao Wu suffer even the slightest injury."

Wu Tianjiao gave a contemptuous smile. "Words are cheap. If you can survive alone for three days in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest without seriously injuring any soul beast, I'll give you the chance to pursue Xiao Wu."

Given my current strength, that means I can't use hidden weapons with overwhelming destructive power. I can only keep hiding and fleeing from soul beasts, while also watching my stamina and energy expenditure.

With that thought, Tang San took a deep breath. At last, he nodded and said, "All right. I will definitely survive. Xiao Wu, wait for my return."

Not far away, Tu Yunwei watched Tang San hurriedly leave the tent and could not help shaking her head. "This child is truly impatient."

Xiao Wu watched Tang San's departing figure and could not help thinking of that person's unwavering resolve back then. The person who had risked his life and body to search for the Lovesick Heartbroken Red had been just as devoted and selfless.

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled. "Is Tang San trying to get himself killed? He only has the strength of one ring. How does he dare travel alone?"

Tang Wulin spread his hands. "Even if he comes back alive, he still might not get what he wants."

Xiao Wu's lips curled into a wicked smile. "That's right. I never said I would give Tang San a chance."

The morning mist had yet to fully disperse, and dewdrops on the branches and leaves reflected faint light. The shrubs rustled, while undercurrents stirred through the forest.

Tang San used Blue Silver Vines to swing between branches, nimbly and swiftly weaving through the forest with practiced ease.

A strange spatial rift suddenly appeared in the distance. A small purple tiger cub slowly emerged from it with a bewildered expression.

"This is... a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? It seems to be only a weak ten-year soul beast right now."

Tang San immediately revealed a look of surprise, staring at the little tiger before him in shock.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger watched Tang San warily with its bright, watery eyes, assessing his strength.

After sensing that Tang San possessed only the strength of one ring, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a roar and immediately launched a probing attack at him.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's wind and lightning attack instantly sliced apart and blew up the defensive shield formed by Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement.

Left with no choice, Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand. Gripping its handle, he used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to gradually wear down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strength.

Just as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was exhausted, Tang San suddenly put away the Clear Sky Hammer and stopped attacking it. He calmly said to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger before him:

"Go. I won't kill you now."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger looked at Tang San uncertainly. Still shaken, it slipped into the spatial rift and vanished along with it.

Tang San then resumed moving through the forest, his light steps concealing his figure.

Along the way, Tang San encountered many common ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts. To avoid disturbing or harming them, he quietly took detours, successfully avoiding much unnecessary trouble.

Three days passed in a flash. After wandering about, Tang San finally returned to Xiao Wu's side.

Tu Yunwei praised, "Twin martial souls. You do have some skill."

Wu Tianjiao raised an eyebrow. "I keep my word. I'm giving you the chance to pursue Xiao Wu now."

Tang San immediately understood. He consciously stepped forward and asked Xiao Wu with a sincere expression:

"Xiao Wu, are you willing to be my little sister?"

Xiao Wu hesitated. "I... am not willing..."

Tang San looked astonished. "Why?"

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "Who calls the person they like their little sister?"

Tang San scratched his head awkwardly. "Then... Xiao Wu, are you willing to be my beloved?"

Xiao Wu tapped her red lips with a fingertip. "We've only known each other for a short time. Isn't this a little too abrupt?"

Tang San suddenly raised his right hand and swore, "I, Tang San, will devote all my strength to protecting my beloved—Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu curled her lips. "I haven't even agreed yet. We'll see how you perform."

Tang San said firmly, "I will definitely protect you. Time will prove everything."

Xiao Wu changed the subject. "Raise your cultivation to two rings first, then talk about protecting me."

With that, she took out a medicinal pill from her storage ring.
