Tang San fell apart

Before Tang San could reach Xu Ran, Xiao Wu struck him. Her long scorpion-tail braid wound tightly around Tang San's neck, and her long, beautiful legs kicked hard into his abdomen, throwing him to the ground in an instant.

"Tang San, have you flown into a rage out of humiliation?" After learning the final result, Xiao Wu no longer harbored any illusions about Tang San. Facts spoke louder than words; Tang San had nothing left to say.

A heart-chilling red light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and the bloodline hidden within her began to stir. She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. However innocent she was, she was still a rabbit who had lived for a hundred thousand years. Tang San had deceived her for so long, and she had given her feelings to the wrong person. How could she not be furious?

"Ah!"

"Xiao Wu, you actually attacked me?" Tang San lay on the ground, clutching his stomach. The intense pain in his abdomen twisted his expression somewhat. But his heart hurt even more.

"Xiao Wu, Xu Ran orchestrated all of this. He's been playing us all along. Before Xu Ran came looking for you, how close were we? We went to school together and cultivated together. But everything changed the moment Xu Ran arrived. Xu Ran is a demon, a devil. Don't believe a single word he says." Tang San spoke anxiously, his words somewhat incoherent.

In just a day or two, Xu Ran had bewitched Xiao Wu to this extent.

He did not dare imagine what would happen in the future.

Would Xiao Wu come to see him as an enemy?

Whenever he thought of that innocent, lovely Xiao Wu, whose chest had already begun to develop gentle curves, now treating him so coldly, his heart could not help aching. He had even seen deep hostility in her eyes.

Did Xiao Wu see him as an enemy now?

"Tang San, how very like you. You've even learned to turn around and blame someone else." Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu trembled all over with anger. She truly could not understand why anyone under heaven could be so shameless.

Tang San knew what the Hat of Destiny meant. The fact that it glowed green when he put it on explained everything. Yet now he was turning around and blaming the Auspicious Beast.

What an exalted status the Auspicious Beast held! Auspicious Beasts were born blessed with good fortune and were supreme treasures of the Soul Beast Realm. Even if Xu Ran had only a single year of cultivation, he would still be an unsurpassed existence in the Soul Beast Realm. Auspicious Beasts could accelerate Soul Beasts' growth, and their Power of Destiny could help Soul Beasts survive their tribulations. With abilities like these, all powerful Soul Beasts had to court the Auspicious Beast's favor, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

With such a status, would the Auspicious Beast deceive her?

Given his status as an Auspicious Beast, what could he covet from her? Even if it was her beauty, if the Auspicious Beast truly wanted it, how could she resist? Even if the Auspicious Beast wanted to harm her, why would he go to such trouble? When a sovereign ordered a subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die. The Auspicious Beast needed only to raise his arm and issue a call, spreading word among the Soul Beasts, and countless Soul Beasts would come to kill her to win his favor.

What was laughable was that Tang San still did not know Xu Ran's identity and was still throwing mud at him.

But that made sense. Even Tang Hao probably did not know the Auspicious Beast's identity. How could Tang San know?

"Xu Ran, let's go." Xiao Wu stopped paying attention to Tang San, took Xu Ran's hand, and walked straight away. Now, merely looking at Tang San made her feel somewhat sick. But she could not do anything to him right now. Behind Tang San stood Clear Sky Douluo, whose strength was beyond what they could contend with.

Even the Auspicious Beast was no match for Clear Sky Douluo right now.

"Xiao Wu, don't go! Don't go with him!" Tang San was somewhat desperate now. He charged madly toward Xu Ran and Xiao Wu. At this moment, he did not hate Xiao Wu at all; he even felt some pity for her. He only hated Xu Ran for being so despicable. If Xiao Wu stayed by his side in the future, who knew how much she would suffer?

"Get lost." Xu Ran smiled faintly and sent Tang San, whose heart was already tangled like a skein of hemp, flying with a kick. Looking at Tang San, he found him rather laughable. However shameless he, Xu Ran, might be, he would never make Xiao Wu sacrifice herself, much less make her only friends, Da Ming and Er Ming, sacrifice themselves. What could Tang San give Xiao Wu?

By his side, Xiao Wu would only suffer all manner of grievances.

Xu Ran looked at the bright green atop Tang San's head and found it rather funny. What expression would Tang San make when he returned and discovered that he could not take off the green hat on his head? From now on, wearing the green hat Xu Ran had given him, Tang San would suffer one misfortune after another for the rest of his life. As for precisely what effects this green hat supplied by System Lady would have in the future, even he was not yet sure.

Xu Ran only knew that the green hat's color would deepen as his relationship with Xiao Wu grew closer. Most importantly, when he held Xiao Wu and was intimate with her, the green hat would even glow. Was it constantly reminding him of his status?

What status? His status as a cuckold, of course.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission."

"Congratulations, host, on receiving five hundred Skill Points."

System Lady's voice rang out. She was somewhat dumbstruck at this moment. She had never expected Xu Ran to complete the mission so quickly. Tang San and Xiao Wu's relationship had been so solid, yet the host had now forcibly turned them into enemies.

But that made sense. Who had made Tang Hao Tang San's father?

Despite his extraordinary background, Tang San had still become a work-study student and come to befriend her. Any normal person would grow suspicious. Besides, Tang Hao's previous image had long since crumbled before Xiao Wu.

Ah Yin had been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She had grown close to Tang Hao and ultimately become a Soul Ring on his body.

How similar was all this to her relationship with Tang San?

All of it was far too coincidental. Even if Tang San had a silver tongue that never wore out, he could not explain it all away.

Ah, that was too easy. Now Xiao Wu no longer trusts Tang San. Winning darling Xiao Wu over will be much easier in the future, too, Xu Ran thought to himself, looking at the lovely girl before him. She had the air of a youthful maiden, a long leg slender and rounded. As she walked ahead, her long scorpion-tail braid swung from side to side across her jade-like back, giving her a distinctive bearing.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..." Tang San looked ahead. Xiao Wu and Xu Ran were walking hand in hand, looking just like a couple. At this sight, tears of anguish streamed straight from his eyes.

A man did not shed tears lightly; he simply had yet to be wounded deeply enough.

What had happened today had brought him to the verge of falling apart. Xu Ran was despicable and shameless, and his eyes kept darting toward Xiao Wu's long legs and chest.

He did not need to think to know that Xu Ran wanted Xiao Wu. It was precisely because Xu Ran had seen the bond between him and Xiao Wu that he had schemed to tear it apart.

Now Xiao Wu had become hostile toward him for reasons he could not understand, and that, too, was all Xu Ran's doing.
