Tang San Went Mad, Wanting to Kill Xu Ran

Tang San's heart brimmed with hatred. Why had things ended this way for him?

Being made to wear a cuckold's green hat-what could be more humiliating?

But if he refused to wear it, Xiao Wu would break with him.

Yet if he put it on, he would fall into Xu Ran's trap and let Xu Ran laugh at him.

Resentment stirred in his heart. He did not hate Xiao Wu; she, too, was a victim of Xu Ran's deception. He hated only Xu Ran. That despicable, shameless bastard wanted to steal Xiao Wu away and make him wear a cuckold's green hat as well.

Although he did not know exactly what had happened to bring him and Xiao Wu to this point, he understood clearly that Xu Ran, that despicable man, had orchestrated it all.

"Tang San, stop looking so miserable all the time. Smile a little. This hat is green, and it holds abundant power of destiny. The greener it is, the richer its power of destiny," Xu Ran said, walking up to Tang San and patting his shoulder. He did not understand. Had he bullied Tang San? Why did Tang San look so awful?

"If you want life to go smoothly, you need a little green on your head. A treasure holding such abundant power of destiny isn't something just anyone can obtain. This hat will even ward off calamities and disasters for you in the future," Xu Ran continued. Once the Hat of Destiny was on Tang San's head, his mission would count as complete, right?

Then he would receive five hundred Skill Points.

Of course, the most important thing was making a cuckold of Tang San. Once the Hat of Destiny was on Tang San's head, it could never be removed. The Hat of Destiny was made from a special kind of energy produced by the system, and outside force could hardly destroy it.

"Xu Ran, you're despicable. One day, I'll repay every bit of the humiliation you've given me today." Tang San's face was deathly pale. Watching the hat in Xiao Wu's hands draw closer and closer, he felt a trace of terror.

All of a sudden, he was a little afraid. He kept feeling that there was more to this green hat than met the eye.

Xiao Wu was a little nervous, too, and held her breath. She hoped the Hat of Destiny would not glow, and that everything Tang San had done before had merely been a coincidence. Then she and Tang San could return to how they had been, and she would forget everything that had happened today.

An eerie silence settled over their surroundings.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, held the Hat of Destiny in both hands, and placed it squarely on Tang San's head.

Click.

Somewhere unseen, there seemed to be the sound of a clasp snapping shut. At the same time, an intensely brilliant green light burst from Tang San's head.

The green light was so intense that, despite it still being daytime, it enveloped the entire surrounding area.

"So green."

"It's even glowing."

Looking at that surging green light, Tang San shuddered. He had never seen anything so green. What did this green hat represent? What exactly had Xu Ran told Xiao Wu?

Now that he had put on the green hat, surely Xiao Wu would believe him.

Tang San took a deep breath. As long as he could clear up the misunderstanding between him and Xiao Wu, what did it matter if he suffered humiliation? For Xiao Wu, he was willing to endure anything.

"Xiao Wu, the Hat of Destiny is on my head now. Surely you believe me now." With green light shining above his head, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu. Even now, he still had no idea what that green light meant to her.

"It's glowing."

"The Hat of Destiny is glowing."

Xiao Wu murmured, her little face turning deathly pale and her delicate body trembling slightly. Overwhelmed by emotion, she could not help retreating several steps. Even though she had known the answer from the start, she still could not help feeling her heart break when she actually witnessed it.

She truly had never imagined that Tang San really wanted to harm her.

For six years, he had concealed his intentions, preparing to seize her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. She had to admit that Tang San had hidden it well; even she had noticed nothing at all. If the Auspicious Beast had not appeared and woken her up, she would probably still be foolishly following Tang San around. When he took her Soul Ring and Soul Bone in the future, just like his father, Tang Hao, she would not even know that Tang San had been behind her death.

If she died without knowing why, just like Sister Ah Yin, without even knowing that the person she loved so deeply had caused her death, how tragic would that be?

"Tang San, from now on, there's nothing between us anymore. You take your sunlit road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge..." Xiao Wu's voice seemed devoid of emotion. She closed her eyes slightly, and two trails of glistening tears flowed down her cheeks.

Now she only found Tang San somewhat laughable. He clearly knew what the Hat of Destiny represented, yet even after being exposed, he was still pretending.

Tang San really knew how to act.

But of course he did. If his acting were poor, how could she have been deceived so thoroughly all these years?

"Xiao Wu, haven't I already put this Hat of Destiny on my head? What's wrong with you now?" Hearing Xiao Wu's even more heartless words, Tang San roared at her with all his strength.

He broke down.

He truly broke down.

Xiao Wu had told him to wear a green hat, and he had. He had thought that as long as he did what she wanted, she would stop being angry. But why was she even more heartless now?

What exactly did this green hat represent?

"What's wrong with me now? Six years. You deceived me for six whole years. You tell me, what's wrong with me? Tang San, are you still going to keep acting?" Xiao Wu demanded angrily, her voice cold and merciless. She had never encountered anyone like Tang San, staying by her side like an older brother for six years. What did he take her for? Livestock raised in a pen? Would he kill her once he was strong enough to bear a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

"Xiao Wu, I didn't..."

"Xu Ran, you shameless, despicable bastard! Whatever you have, come at me! What exactly did you tell Xiao Wu? Did you feed her some bewitching potion?" Tang San shouted madly, his eyes bloodshot. He charged wildly toward Xu Ran and immediately released his Martial Soul. Thick Blue Silver Grass vines lashed toward Xu Ran's neck.

Xiao Wu's heartless treatment of him had utterly stripped him of his reason.

An intensely agonizing pain wrung his heart.

He now understood that if he wanted that sweet, breathtakingly beautiful Xiao Wu to return to his side, he had to kill Xu Ran first. Xu Ran was constantly bewitching Xiao Wu. As long as he was around, Xiao Wu would never believe Tang San, no matter how well he behaved.

Killing intent-frenzied killing intent-made Tang San forget even to use his Soul Skills. He simply charged at Xu Ran in the manner of a fight between men.
