Xiao Wu's future

[The Little Cat Who Loves Fish: is much smarter than us.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Hehe, Xiao Wu is much smarter than those two idiots. Those two idiots couldn't guess it no matter what, and had to corner someone to ask them before they finally found out.]

[Seven Treasure Little Princess: Xiao Xue'er, stop it! We were confirming, confirming, don't you understand?]

[Loves Eating Carrots: It really is him? No wonder he was acting like that at the inn today, not even angry when you guys cornered him.]

[The Little Cat Who Loves Fish: Of course he's not angry, he's shameless.]

[Seven Treasure Little Princess: He must be quite happy, right? After all, he was cornered by two beautiful girls, something many men dream of, and he got to experience it, haha...]

[The Little Cat Who Loves Fish: Mm.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: You guys are really shameless. Welcome Xiao Wu! Let's talk about Xiao Wu now.]

[Seven Treasure Little Princess: Okay, I want to see Xiao Wu's future, haha!]

[The Little Cat Who Loves Fish: Hmm, Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast Transformation. Will her future be like Ah Yin's?]

Zhu Zhuqing stared at the group Chat Window and asked.

[The Spirit Hall Saintess: That's possible. After all, Tang San has his father, Tang Hao, secretly protecting him, right? Tang Hao is Titled Douluo; he already knew Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Hmm, maybe.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: What do you mean? You're saying Tang San has Titled Douluo as his father, who's secretly protecting Tang San near the academy? My identity as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Tang San's father already knew?]

Xiao Wu was stunned when she saw this news.

His eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, his heart pounded, and he sprang out of bed, leaping to the window and shoving it open to look outside.

It was pitch black outside, the shadows of the trees piled up darkly at the base of the courtyard wall, and the wind, carrying the chill of the night, blew in through the cracks in the window. There was nothing there.

But what's said in the group chat won't lie to her.

There was a Titled Douluo secretly protecting Tang San, and she stayed with Tang San at the Nuoding Academy for six years without knowing that Tang San's father was Titled Douluo.

This made her nervous and terrified; a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and her fingers gripped the window frame.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Yes, Xiao Wu is the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring that Tang Hao left for Tang San.]

He would let Tang San and Xiao Wu develop a relationship, and then wait for an opportunity. When Tang San was in danger, he would not intervene.

If Xiao Wu sacrifices herself for Tang San, then Tang San will have a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring, just like Tang Hao.

Like Ah Yin, he's calculating; like father, like son.

[Loves Eating Carrots: Really?]

Xiao Wu stared at the line of text, her mind buzzing.

Sacrifice.

Of course she knew what those two words meant.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrificed itself, its Soul Ring went to someone else, its life was lost, and even its Soul Bone was left behind.

She recalled the days she spent at the Nuoding Academy with Tang San, attending classes together, eating together, and enduring scolding together. She had always thought that Tang San was just an ordinary blacksmith's son, at most a little more talented, with a slightly useless Martial Soul but a smart person.

But now the group tells her that Tang San's father is Titled Douluo who has been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the day when she willingly burns herself into a Soul Ring.

[Seven Treasure Little Princess: There's nothing I can't do. Group Owner Li Qiu knows the past and the future!]

[The Little Cat Who Loves Fish: Yes, Brother Qiu is super awesome. You should respect him; it will bring you many benefits in the future and allow you to escape Tang Hao's clutches. Otherwise, you'll end up like Tang San's mother!]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Uh... no way, was Tang San's mother tricked by his father?]

After Xiao Wu typed those words, her hand was still suspended in mid-air as she leaned against the windowsill, the night wind making her bunny-ear braids sway back and forth.

She recalled how Tang San usually talked about his father, saying things like, "My dad is a drunken blacksmith," with a hint of disdain in his tone, but not much hatred.

Now that I think about it, why would a Titled Douluo hide in Holy Soul Village as a drunken blacksmith?

Why send my son to a place like Nuoding Academy?

Why make your son share a dormitory with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?

This is no coincidence; it was clearly planned step by step.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Tang San's mother Ah Yin, who is also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.]

She traveled across the mainland with the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and later fell in love with Tang Hao, married him, and became pregnant.

As a result, Tang Hao led her to wander in desolate mountains and valleys, avoiding forests and places with abundant Blue Silver Grass, causing her strength to plummet during her pregnancy.

When the Spirit Hall came to hunt him down, Tang Hao was in dire straits. To save him and the child, Ah Yin sacrificed her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

After obtaining the Soul Ring and recovering from his injuries, Tang Hao severely injured the Pope of the Spirit Hall with a backhand hammer blow, and then fled with the infant Tang San.

Later, when Tang San asked about his mother, Tang Hao only said she was dead, never explaining how she died.

The group chat was silent for several moments.

Even Xiao Xue'er, who usually loves to flood social media with messages, didn't send a message.

[Everlasting Life:...]

[I Am the Angel God: This Tang Hao, he really is...]

[The Spirit Hall Saintess: Disgusting! If I were Ah Yin, I'd kill him first.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: What about me? Tang Hao knows I'm Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet he still let me stay with Tang San for six years?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Yes. Tang San doesn't know you're Soul Beast yet, but Tang Hao does. He's waiting, waiting for the day Tang San encounters an insurmountable obstacle, at which point you'll naturally step forward. When you sacrifice yourself, Tang San will become the second Tang Hao, obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and his Titled Douluo is assured.]

Xiao Wu recalled that Tang San had indeed been very good to her over the past few years, almost excessively so.

He got her food, took the punishment for her, and even climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to buy her carrots.

She had always thought it was a sibling bond, but now, looking back, how much of that affection was genuine, and how much was something Tang Hao had taught her?

[Loves Eating Carrots: What should I do now? I don't want to be a sacrifice, I don't want to die.]

[Seven Treasure Little Princess: Hehe, you need to listen to the Group Owner and Brother Qiu now. He knows the past and the future, and only he can save you.]

[Little Fish Who Eats Cats: Yes, the Group Owner is incredibly powerful. Many of our group members are figures from the past. For example, I Am the Angel God, but before the Spirit Hall Angel God became a god, the Spirit Hall Saintess is from another Space-Time, and the Love-Starved Little Angel is the Young Master of the Spirit Hall? The Moon Palace is the Silver Dragon King, who is quite mysterious. Everlasting Life is Tang San's Ah Yin, but she's only seventeen years old and hasn't met Tang Hao yet. They all come from different Space-Time and even different planes.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Wow, this is so complicated, there are even people from the past, that's really amazing!]

Xiao Wu stared at the screen, feeling utterly incredulous.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Then she wanted to know more about her future.
