Little Rabbit, Only I Can Change Your Long-Arood Predestined Fate!
"Hmph, what a coward."
"I haven't even made a move, and you're already scared like this!"
Ning Wen took in all of Yu Xiaogang's nervous little actions at a glance, sneering aloud, "And you call yourself a Grandmaster? Aren't you afraid of laughing your head off!"
Called out for his awkwardness in public, Yu Xiaogang instantly flushed red. His vital energy surged, his chest heaved violently, and he trembled all over with rage. He pointed a dead finger at Ning Wen, unable to squeeze out a complete sentence for the longest time: "You... you..."
"What you you?"
Ning Wen took a step forward, his gaze incomparably sharp, triggering the killing aura contained within the Asura Armor: "Dare to spout nonsense here again, and see if I don't kill you!"
Facing this bone-chilling killing aura, Yu Xiaogang's breath hitched. His entire body stiffened, and he instinctively shrank back into himself.
This scene was both comical and ironic.
To the side, the gatekeeper who had just managed to crawl up with difficulty from the shock of the Divine Might was dumbfounded on the spot, his facial expression an array of brilliant colors.
Who could have expected this?
The Grandmaster, who usually acted so high and mighty, aloof, and revered in Notting Academy, would actually be scared into such a wretched and fragile state by a mere child!
Why, this performance was even worse than his own!
Right at that moment, a crisp and lively girl's voice rang out from inside the academy.
"What's going on at the school gates?"
Swinging her long braided pigtail, Xiao Wu came bounding out in full student attire, closely followed by a slightly thin little boy wearing a coarse cloth short shirt.
It was Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, do you know this person?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's arrival, Yu Xiaogang inwardly called out that it was bad, and forced himself to steady his nerves.
Xiao Wu blinked her eyes, looked Ning Wen up and down, and gently shook her head: "I don't know him at all."
"Xiao Wu, you don't even recognize your own fiancé? Aren't you being a bit too heartless?"
Ning Wen said, putting on a show of grief.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's apricot eyes widened into circles. She froze entirely on the spot, her cheeks rapidly blooming with a layer of crimson.
"You... what are you talking about!"
After a long while, Xiao Wu's shy and angry voice rang out.
She pointed a slender finger at Ning Wen, her voice even trembling slightly: "I don't even know you, where did this fiancé come from!"
Ning Wen's sudden remark had completely caught Xiao Wu off guard.
She had walked out of the Great Star Dou Forest, and her mother had long since died at the hands of Spirit Hall; the only family she had left in the world were Da Ming and Er Ming.
Where on earth would a fiancé come from?
Tang San stood by Xiao Wu's side, his brows tightly locked and his face filled with vigilance.
Earlier, separated by the courtyard wall from afar, he had faintly sensed a vague oppression. Now that he was standing closer, that oppressive feeling from the depths of his soul became all the more distinct.
How should he put it?
It was as if he had run into a natural predator!
At the same time, the moment he heard the two words "fiancé," an indescribable and unnameable irritation inexplicably welled up in the bottom of Tang San's heart.
Having lived day and night with Xiao Wu for so long—eating and sleeping together, attending classes and playing side by side—he had long since grown used to having this lively girl by his side.
Even though they had sworn brotherhood, in his subconscious, he had long regarded Xiao Wu as someone he needed to protect.
Now, a fiancé had suddenly materialized out of thin air for Xiao Wu.
Logically speaking, Tang San, as an elder brother, ought to feel happy for Xiao Wu, but no matter what, he simply couldn't muster any joy.
Instead, he wished that Xiao Wu's fiancé was fake.
Little rabbit, only I can change your long-ago predestined fate!
Just as Xiao Wu was preparing to ask something, her expression suddenly changed.
Just then, it seemed like she had heard... what voice?
That voice was so strange, actually popping straight out of her own mind.
Just like that Blue Silver Emperor, from the very moment you met Tang San, you embarked on a path of being plotted against.
She heard it again!
This voice seemed to be connected to the person right before her who claimed to be her fiancé.
Could this possibly be his inner voice?
Only, how was that even possible?
Could it be that she was hallucinating?
Yet this hallucination was far too realistic!
Why was it that the moment she and Third Brother met, they were destined to be plotted against?
And he called me a little rabbit; could it be that my true identity has been discovered?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu stiffened all over, her blood practically freezing solid.
"Xiao Wu, just like your mother, you must also be a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast in human form, right?"
Ning Wen's figure darted out like a ghost, arriving by Xiao Wu's side, and spoke in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could clearly hear.
In the original novel, the name of Xiao Wu's mother never appeared.
It was only said that she was also a hundred-thousand-year cultivation Soft Bone Rabbit in human form, hunted down by Bibi Dong when Xiao Wu was young.
As for the name Ah Rou, it was purely a fan-made secondary creation.
To be safe, naturally he wouldn't use it.
"Mm."
Before Xiao Wu had fully recovered her wits, she instinctively nodded.
"Back then, when your mother took human form to travel the human world, my mother, by a stroke of fortuitous coincidence, saved your mother's life."
"To repay my mother for saving her life, your mother specifically betrothed you to me."
Ning Wen smiled slightly: "Xiao Wu, you wouldn't deny that, would you?"
Using Xiao Wu's mother to hoodwink Xiao Wu had a very high success rate.
Moreover, among the Critical Hit Rewards from the past two months, there was something that had looked completely useless, but could come in handy at a time like this.
If he used that item, the probability would soar as high as 99 percent.
The only uncertain 1 percent was simply Xiao Wu refusing to admit it herself.
If this were later in the original timeline, it would be hard to say, but right now, one could only say that this possibility was minuscule to the point of irrelevance.
Xiao Wu grew even more bewildered.
Her mother had indeed once visited the human world; that much was true.
As for whether any engagement had ever been set, she really had no idea...
After all, her mother had died at the hands of Spirit Hall at a very early age.
Could it really be that this person was her fiancé?
No, humans were utterly cunning creatures.
Even though this was just a human cub, the other party could not be underestimated.
"Talk is cheap, how can you prove what you're saying is true?"
Her thoughts spinning at high speed, Xiao Wu forcibly suppressed the shock and panic in the bottom of her heart. Her gaze suddenly sharpened as she locked her eyes onto Ning Wen, her tone carrying absolute vigilance.
"I know you have two younger brothers: one is named Da Ming, a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python, and the other is named Er Ming, a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape."
The corners of Ning Wen's mouth ticked upward as he continued to speak in a low voice.
Boom!
As these words dropped, Xiao Wu was struck as if by lightning, her entire person going completely blank!
Da Ming and Er Ming were names she had given them herself.
Aside from her long-deceased mother and the three parties involved, there was not a fourth person in the entire world who knew!
The human before her actually knew it with crystal clarity!
In that instant, the skepticism in Xiao Wu's heart instantly vanished by more than half.
"And there's this item as a token."
Amidst his speech, Ning Wen produced a pink scarf.
That was... her mother's aura!
Unique, and absolutely without a doubt!
Xiao Wu's expression changed once more as she tremblingly reached out and took the pink scarf.
