Xiao Wu the Little Tagalong, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

In Holy Soul Village, Little Chef Xiao Wu had cooked three elaborate carrot dishes herself. They certainly looked the part.

She sat on a little stool by the door, waiting for Tang San and his father to return. She was staying in someone else's home, after all. She had to do something!

"Little girl, are you Little San's classmate?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nonsense! She's Little San's future wife!"

Xiao Wu blinked in confusion. She was still naive and had no idea what "future wife" meant,

so she could only nod vaguely.

"Hahaha! See? I told you!"

Xiao Wu's reaction gave the auntie a good laugh.

Just as the sun was about to set, Tang San and his father finally returned.

Tang Hao's eyes were wrapped in bandages. Without the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone, he would spend the rest of his life in darkness.

Tang San had learned the whole story too. He swore he would never rest until Xiao Qing was dead.

From that moment on, he trained desperately every day and had recently broken through to Soul Grandmaster.

Knowing he could only rely on his extraordinarily gifted son from now on, Tang Hao had Tang San's Blue Silver Grass undergo its second awakening early

and helped him form his second soul ring. Its soul skill was the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear!

Back in the present,

Tang San drove the spearhead straight at Lu Ming's chest!

He's Xiao Qing's younger brother, which makes him my enemy too. I've already marked him for death!

Clang!

Lu Ming made no move to resist, letting the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear strike his chest.

To Tang San's shock, Lu Ming's body was like steel. The spearhead could not pierce it in the slightest.

Damn it! What kind of monster is this guy?!

"Blue Silver Tyrant Spear!"

Lu Ming's mouth curled in a faint sneer. After two and a half years, he towered over Tang San and looked down at him.

"Is that all?"

Lu Ming had only just raised his right hand when Tang San's Mommy Entanglement bound it.

Tang San was startled. Since their last clash, the pressure Lu Ming exerted seemed even stronger. It was suffocating!

If conventional methods won't work, I still have hidden weapons!

Mysterious Jade Hands!

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

He flicked his wrist, and a Silent Sleeve Arrow shot out without warning.

But it struck Lu Ming like a tickle and did nothing at all.

"If these little toys are all you have, don't embarrass yourself by bringing them out!"

Lu Ming's face was full of disdain. The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear could not break his defenses, let alone a hidden weapon.

With Tang San's current abilities, he could not make the truly powerful ones, so Lu Ming was not worried.

"You fell for it!"

Tang San's lips curved into a smug smile.

He pressed his right hand to the ground. A dozen strands of Blue Silver Emperor sprang up from every direction, wrapping Lu Ming's limbs like a mummy.

Then Tang San crouched slightly, and a steel needle burst from a hidden weapon on his back, shooting toward Lu Ming's face.

The phantom of the Golden Dragon King appeared and blasted the Blue Silver Grass away. Caught off guard, Lu Ming could only catch the needle between his teeth.

Tang San folded his arms, looking insufferably pleased with himself.

Drip!

A drop of purple venom fell from the steel needle. Lu Ming's eyes widened.

I forgot. Tang San loves playing with poison!

"Heh, heh, heh!"

"How does it feel? Pretty good, doesn't it?"

Tang San grinned at the sweating Lu Ming, his voice dripping with triumph.

Tang San's earlier shout had woken every other member of Dorm Seven.

Seeing that something was wrong between the two, they all ran to Xiao Wu, the leader of Dorm Seven.

"That's our Tang San! Nicely done!"

Xiao Wu heaped praise on him. She did not know who the handsome, tall boy facing Tang San was, but causing trouble in Dorm Seven was a challenge to her. Tang San had done the right thing.

"Brother San is incredible!"

"Brother San is a cut above the rest!"

"Brother San is mighty!"

Praise flew from every direction. They were not deliberately flattering him; as far as they were concerned, it was true.

After his Blue Silver Grass's second awakening, Tang San had become strikingly handsome—the best-looking boy in Notting City.

Even senior girls from intermediate academies had offered to keep him.

But Tang San carried a blood feud and had no interest in any of them.

Right now, Tang San felt so elated his feet barely touched the ground. Could they praise him a little more?

Self-Created Soul Skill: Heavenly Frost Immortal Sword!

Bang!

A long sword flashed forward like lightning and pinned Tang San, still basking in the cheers, to the wall of Dorm Seven.

"Gah—"

"How could..."

Xiao Wu froze. When had that guy attacked? She had not seen a thing.

And hadn't Tang San's deadly poison struck him?!

Her rabbit brain could not keep up. It was better suited to thinking about carrots.

"Ptooey!"

Lu Ming spat a purple ice crystal onto the ground and crushed it underfoot.

"Using poison against my Ultimate Ice? You're showing off a blade before a master swordsman. Know your limits!"

After receiving the Ice Dragon King's blessing, his Heavenly Frost Sword had been renamed the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword. It now possessed Ultimate Ice on the Ice Dragon King's level.

Lu Ming could dispose of a little poison like that with ease.

Tang San, meanwhile, remained firmly pinned to the wall by the Self-Created Soul Skill. Every time he twisted, the blade scraped against bone with a piercing sound.

With her keen hearing, Xiao Wu flattened her rabbit ears and clamped her hands over them.

"Xiao Wu, do you recognize her?"

Lu Ming's gaze fell on Xiao Wu.

"That's..."

Xiao Wu's pupils shrank, and her eyes widened.

"Why is she here? Why do you have her?"

Lu Ming held the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms. When he had left the Star Dou Great Forest, the little creature had insisted on coming along. Nothing Di Tian said could dissuade her.

After considering his plans, Lu Ming had decided bringing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion along would do no harm.

With Sister Xiao Xiao watching over him and the many trump cards she had given him, he could practically do as he pleased across the continent.

Fuming, Xiao Wu pointed a little finger at Lu Ming and demanded an answer.

Lu Ming could not help it!

A hundred-thousand-year rogue rabbit was too low in the hierarchy. She could not even recognize the Golden Dragon King when he stood right in front of her.

Fortunately, she knew something about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Otherwise, he would have had to take her away by force in broad daylight.

"Little Golden Lion, explain it to this rabbit."

"I'm hungry. I'm going to eat first!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, golden from head to toe, nodded her little head and hopped onto Xiao Wu's head.

Xiao Wu was stunned. Someone as low on the food chain as her, a mere nobody, had been graced with the Imperial Auspicious Beast standing atop her head!

How many lifetimes of good fortune had earned her this?

This deserves a glorious entry in the family history! Xiao Wu thought.

Lu Ming glanced at Tang San, formed another sword from Ultimate Ice, and pinned his left shoulder to the wall as well.

He avoided any vital spots. It would not kill Tang San, but it certainly would not feel good.

Lu Ming withdrew the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword and strode out of Dorm Seven on his absurdly long legs.

He had been traveling for days without a proper meal!

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chattered to Xiao Wu for a while longer, understanding finally dawned on her.

What kind of luck do I have? Did I save the universe in a past life? For heaven to favor me so much that My Lord, the Golden Dragon King, would come here in person!

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, unsure what to say. This was her Golden Dragon lord's doing. She would not dare interfere.

"What are you standing around for?"

Only then did the others snap out of it. They climbed onto one another's shoulders and got Tang San down.

"Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

Tang San weakly caught Xiao Wu's delicate hand.

"Little San, I'm glad I met you, but... perhaps we'll meet again someday."
