The Girl on the Giant Ape! (Revised Again)

"Waaah... So embarrassing... I'm still here... This pervert, oh no, he seems to have spotted me..."

If Huo Wu hadn't possessed the Nine Heart Begonia, the number one healing-type Martial Soul on the continent, she would have been bedridden for at least half a month. But since she dared to claim the title of number one, she must be incredibly powerful. In less than a day, Huo Wu was completely healed, except for being slightly weak and listless due to excessive blood loss.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself isolated by a familiar ice wall. Although the thick ice wall provided good sound insulation, being in the same room, and with Huo Wu being Soul Emperor with extremely strong Divine Power, was still a challenge.

Yu Tianshuang waved her hand to remove the surrounding ice walls, carried Ye Lingling to another bed, and then spoke casually.

"Oh dear, some people are so shameless! If this gets out, how will they ever get married..."

Yu Tianshuang looked at Huo Wu with amusement, and seeing that she didn't react, she continued:

"A girl as aloof as Lingling, wouldn't she be so ashamed that she committed suicide? Oh, how pitiful! She just saved someone's life, and she repays kindness with enmity..."

Yu Tianshuang didn't know why she had said these things so naturally. Her tone was similar to Hu Liena's. Sure enough, after spending a lot of time together, one would be subtly influenced by the people around them.

"I... I didn't peek... I was sleeping, I didn't know anything, you, I won't tell anyone... you, you pervert, what are you trying to do?"

Huo Wu tried her best to pretend to be asleep and get away with it, but this lecherous man had already made his words so obvious that he must have realized she was awake. However, she still held onto a sliver of hope: he probably didn't know when she woke up, after all, how could he have any other thoughts while doing that kind of thing...?

Although that's what she thought, she didn't expect Yu Tianshuang to sit directly on the edge of her bed. This startled her, and she pulled the blanket up, saying nervously.

"I... I'm sorry, I... I was suddenly so scared at that moment. When my hand was covering your piercing wound, I really panicked. I was so scared and so guilty. If I hadn't found Ye Lingling in time, if your injury hadn't held out until I found her, if you had..."

Yu Tianshuang gripped the armrest of Huo Wu's bed tightly, his head bowed as he kept saying, "Really, he's really scared." Sensing his feelings, Huo Wu suddenly felt happy. She could tell from Yu Tianshuang's words that he cared about her now, which made her feel less weak. She smiled slightly and extended a slender, jade-like finger to his lips.

"Don't... don't be so mushy. Why are you suddenly like this? This isn't the Yu Tianshuang I know. Look at you now, so dejected. Where's that arrogant, cocky attitude? I'm perfectly fine, and... even if I died, I'd be willing to die for you... So, don't ever say sorry to me again. I don't want your apology, I want..."

Similarly, Huo Wu's bright and pretty face did not look bad because of her slight pallor. On the contrary, compared to her usual fiery and beautiful appearance, her pale complexion made her look even more uniquely beautiful. Yu Tianshuang grasped the finger that was on his lips and suddenly looked at Huo Wu with deep affection. This burning gaze made the usually outgoing Huo Wu a little shy, and she couldn't say anything. She lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes. But the next moment, she felt her chin being lifted up, and she met Yu Tianshuang's burning eyes again.

"Thank you. This is the first time in my life that a girl has protected me. To be honest, it feels quite strange. It turns out I don't have to be so strong after all, and that I have someone I can rely on. Huo Wu, thank you."

After Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six, he followed Shui Xinrou to the Skywater Academy. Growing up alongside Shui Bing'er and the others, he inevitably developed a bit of a macho attitude. The belief in protecting them seemed to be etched into his soul from the very beginning. But this time, being protected by someone else brought a sense of relief. Everyone has a different personality. Huo Wu is very straightforward, a bit spoiled, but kind and passionate. If he were to miss out on a girl like her, it would be an unbearable regret. So, after saying this, Yu Tianshuang slowly kissed her.

"No... Lingling is still here..."

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, the male and female protagonists in the room switched places, which made Huo Wu a little embarrassed. Her face flushed red, and she shrank back slightly, whispering.

"Ugh..."

Actually, Yu Tianshuang didn't have those thoughts. She simply kissed Huo Wu, patted her hand, and said goodnight.

"This guy..."

Huo Wu pursed her lips with a sense of loss, feeling as if she had survived a disaster, but also a little empty inside. She could only give Yu Tianshuang's back a complicated look.

The Tiandou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"That old tyrant, even a fool could tell he was the one who killed Yu Luomian! How could His Majesty be so foolish? How could he so easily believe such an obvious frame-up? No, I must go to the palace to see His Majesty. I can't let His Majesty believe the old tyrant's one-sided story."

After returning to the sect, Ning Fengzhi summoned the two elders Sword Chen Xin and Gu Rong, as well as Ning Rongrong, the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, to the main hall and recounted the events in the palace with a somewhat solemn expression.

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong, who was hot-tempered and straightforward, couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and was about to go to the palace to seek justice for Yu Tianshuang.

"Old Sword, how can you still sit still? That's your grandson, and Fengzhi too! Why didn't you object back then? Really..."

"Old Bones, there's no need to go. Fengzhi has already done his best. In fact, no matter what Fengzhi or Yu Yuanzhen says, His Majesty's choice will be the same. Shuang'er's talent is too terrifying. With our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network, we knew about it immediately. At less than 20 years old, she has reached the Soul Emperor level of cultivation, and she even decisively defeated a veteran Titled Douluo in front of the Pope's Palace, becoming the youngest elder in the history of the Spirit Hall. Do you think His Majesty wouldn't know about these things with the Heaven Dou Empire's intelligence network? So your going is useless; it will only increase our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's suspicions. Fengzhi did the right thing. In fact, His Majesty is also observing our attitude. If we show even the slightest bias towards Shuang'er, then given the current relationship between the Empire and the Spirit Hall, the Empire's million-strong army will soon trample our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Sword Douluo Jian Chenxin's martial soul flew out, blocking Gu Rong's path. Just like his face, it was cold and stern. There was not a single change in his expression. He spoke calmly, as if the person who was being framed was not his own grandson, but an outsider.

"Elder Sword is right. His Majesty already has some suspicions about us. When I subtly pointed out the flaw in Yu Yuanzhen's words, His Majesty was already watching me. If I had said one more word then, Rongrong would probably be the sect leader sooner than expected, haha..."

"Dad, even at a time like this, you're still in the mood to joke? I'm so worried! What are we going to do now? I don't know how Brother Tianshuang is either. I suddenly feel so sad. Thinking about how he just met his grandfather for the first time, the one he just recognized, and then he died right in front of him... He..."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a deep, empathetic pain welling up in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.

"It's alright, Rongrong. I think Yu Tianshuang is a tough guy, just like this Old Sword. He'll get through this. Don't cry, don't cry. Fengzhi, what do you think we should do now?"

Gu Rong, who had cherished Ning Rongrong since childhood, loved her the most. When he saw her crying, he rushed over to comfort her.

"Wait..."

Ning Fengzhi always maintained a calm and composed demeanor. He rested his hands on his cane, his dark eyes gazing into the distance, and spoke with a resounding voice.

"Wait? Wait for what? No, Old Sword, why are you nodding? What do you mean?"

Gu Rong watched as Ning Fengzhi seemed to have made a decision and uttered a single word, as if making a decision, but he just couldn't understand it. However, seeing Sword Chen Xin nod slightly, he became even more confused.

"Huo Wu, thank goodness you're alright! I was so worried about you yesterday. We're the only two people in the Spirit Hall who get along really well, but as long as Lingling is around, I know you're okay. You wouldn't believe it, I was being chased by a 50,000-year-old Wasteland Wolf in the Lost Track Grand Canyon. I thought I was going to die, but guess what? Lingling healed me in no time! Hey, Lingling? What's wrong? You seem to be walking strangely. You... Ouch, Nana, why did you hit me?"

The next morning, in the Star Dou Great Forest, the three of them emerged from their tent as if nothing had happened. Although Huo Wu's face was still somewhat pale, her spirit was surprisingly good. In the Spirit Hall, Yan and she were both fire-attribute Soul Master, and their relationship was the closest. They could chat easily. Seeing Huo Wu come out, Yan happily ran over. However, when he saw Ye Lingling come out and walk over, she looked a little strange. He asked in surprise, but the next moment he was hit on the head by Hu Liena, who looked at him with a hopeless expression.

"You, you're so stupid, so clueless, you can't even..."

Huo Wu, who had just recovered from her Huo Wu injuries, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Yan Huobao's appearance. In a great mood, she almost blurted out what she was saying, but after realizing what she had said, she quickly covered her mouth and then cautiously glanced at Yu Tianshuang and Ye Lingling.

Sensing the amused looks from everyone except Yan, Ye Lingling's face flushed red. She couldn't help but raise her fist and punch Yu Tianshuang, then lowered her head and remained silent.

"The plan is progressing smoothly. First, I'll infiltrate the city by posing as an old acquaintance of Hu Liena from the Slaughter City. Then, I'll inadvertently expose my Blue Silver Domain to attract the attention of the two Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost. Finally, I'll inadvertently reveal my identity as a disciple expelled from the Clear Sky Sect to gain their trust. Next, I need to find out Xiao Wu and the others' movements in advance and then warn them."

Amidst the joyful atmosphere, after everyone finished their playful banter and tidied up, the group set off again towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San, at the very end of the group, looked at the fully recovered Yu Tianshuang and Huo Wu with resentment. Ye Lingling... this healing-type Soul Master must be eliminated as soon as possible...

"We're getting closer and closer to the center... this is... Xiao Wu!!!"

Under the instruction of the two Titled Douluo, Tang San activated the Blue Silver Domain. As his Divine Power spread, he quickly discovered Xiao Wu, Da Ming Er Ming, who were at a lake.

"Ah..."

It seems Da Ming and Er Ming didn't recognize me. Damn it, I've been exposed...

His Blue Silver Domain probe was detected by two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, who then turned on him. This immediately made him realize that something was wrong. At this moment, he was clutching his chest, and anyone with eyes could see what had happened.

"He suffered a backlash. Only those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could have done that in the Star Dou Great Forest. We've found them! Quick!"

Gui Mei and Yue Guan were incredibly perceptive; they instantly understood Tang San's situation and addressed the crowd. However, just as they finished speaking, a melodious and Charm female voice echoed from all directions of the forest.

"Welcome to the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone from the Spirit Hall. What? Haven't you been looking for me for a long time? Why are you so wary? What, are you afraid to come over?"

The sudden sound alerted everyone, and they quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting Ye Lingling and the weakened Huo Wu in the center. Upon hearing this, Ju Gui and the other two exchanged a glance and flew ahead first.

"This is... Xiao Wu!!!"

"What's that on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder? That's right, it's our target this time, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit that Tang Hao rescued in the Pope's Palace back then!"

Tang San and the others arrived at the lakeside, and in an instant, they saw the enormous Titan Giant Ape Da Ming. His pupils dilated instantly as he was captivated by the pink figure standing on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, the one he had longed for for five years.

"Spirit Hall! Today, let's settle this once and for all. I will make you pay the price!"

Xiao Wu stood tall on Da Ming's shoulder, her pink dress swaying in the wind. She looked down at the crowd below with an imposing air, as if she were the hunter.
