As Tang San watched the scene, his eyes turned blood red.
His beloved Xiao Wu.
In his heart, she was to be his future wife!
The woman who would spend her life with him!
Xiao Wu was his alone, absolutely forbidden to anyone else, yet now Li Zhiyan was kissing her.
He already had a way to die!
Tang San hated Li Zhiyan with all his heart, but he did not dare speak. The sight of Li Zhiyan effortlessly smashing a Soul Ancestor and two Soul Kings to pieces had left a psychological scar on him.
Watching the scene, he could only pretend he was unable to move.
Overcome by rage, Tang San fainted on the spot.
When Dai Mubai and Oscar saw this, they hurriedly pretended to faint as well. Who knew whether Li Zhiyan would go mad and kill them?
After all, their grudges with Li Zhiyan were still fresh in their minds.
But no one paid the three of them any attention.
"All right, Xiao Wu, come down. Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong are both here,"
Li Zhiyan reminded her.
Hearing that, Xiao Wu's face turned bright red, and she hurriedly jumped down from Li Zhiyan.
Only then did she realize that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were both there.
"Sorry, Brother Zhiyan."
"I was too impulsive."
Seeing Xiao Wu blush, Ning Rongrong came over and said in disbelief, "Xiao Wu, you actually... you and Brother Zhiyan have actually gotten this far!"
Ning Rongrong was very fond of Li Zhiyan, but deep down she always felt that she was supposed to belong to Oscar.
Ning Rongrong had never dared make a move.
And now Xiao Wu had actually beaten her to it!
Right now, she truly could not have felt worse.
But surely their relationship had not reached the final step?
What if she could take that step first!
Ning Rongrong's thoughts began to run wild.
"Sorry, Rongrong, Sister Zhu Zhuqing. I was too embarrassed to say it before, but Brother Zhiyan is already my boyfriend."
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but she could not help feeling a surge of jealousy.
Li Zhiyan's performance just now had been dazzling. Whether it was the Soul Skill that immobilized people or the sight of his Soul Ring exploding, both had struck Zhu Zhuqing as impossibly cool, right down to the depths of her heart!
"It's all right, Brother Zhiyan. Let's all go shopping together, the four of us. You can tell us all about what happened after you left Shrek Academy!"
Li Zhiyan left with the three heroines.
A long time later, Dai Mubai and Oscar slowly climbed to their feet. Looking at the spot where not even a scrap of Bu Le and his two companions remained, they still felt cold sweat pouring down their backs.
"Tang San."
"Tang San."
When Dai Mubai saw that Tang San still had not woken up, he rushed over and beat him.
Seeing the opportunity, Oscar naturally would not let it pass either.
"Damn you, Tang San! You ambushed us with Dragon Whisker Needles! I'll beat you to death, beat you to death!"
The unconscious Tang San instinctively let out a muffled groan.
"All right, stop hitting him!"
"Little Ao, if we really beat him to death..."
"Clear Sky Douluo will come after us for it."
Only then did Oscar come to his senses somewhat.
"This has to have something to do with Li Zhiyan! Li Zhiyan is just as hateful as Tang San. We have to kill him someday!"
Looking at the furious Oscar, Dai Mubai patted him on the shoulder.
This was a perfect opportunity to bring Oscar fully over to his side.
"All right, Little Ao."
"Let's improve our strength first. Once I become emperor of the Star Luo Empire, I'll kill Tang Hao too!"
Oscar said with a mournful face, "Boss Dai, what about the women we like?"
"They're just two wooden frames. Let's plan this out carefully!"
"When the time comes, we'll make Ning Rongrong kneel and be your dog!"
The two put their arms around each other's shoulders and staggered away.
Not long after they left, several beggars ran over to Tang San and began ransacking him for valuables.
They could not pass up such a good opportunity.
After returning to the hotel, the three went to Li Zhiyan's room.
"Brother Zhiyan, I never expected you to be staying at the hotel we always stay at. You were so close to us this whole time!"
Ning Rongrong sounded delighted. She had thought she might never see the handsome Li Zhiyan again, but he had been right there beside them.
"Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard their plan."
"You'll have to be careful from now on."
"None of those three, Tang San and the others, are any good."
"They might look for another chance to scheme against you."
Ning Rongrong murmured in agreement.
"Now I can finally say I understand what kind of people the boys at Shrek Academy are."
"Brother Zhiyan, are you planning to leave Suotuo City?"
"Can I come with you?"
Zhu Zhuqing murmured in agreement.
"I think it's dangerous to stay at Shrek Academy too. If you can, take me with you."
Thinking of Li Zhiyan's heaven-defying combat prowess, Zhu Zhuqing still felt her heart flutter. On her current path, she would certainly be killed in the future.
But if she had Li Zhiyan as her backing, that might not happen. Perhaps he really could save her from her fate. Most importantly, Li Zhiyan was handsome.
There was probably no one in the world immune to Li Zhiyan's looks. Every time Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Succubus mark on his forehead, she felt as though she might fall into it.
"It's not time yet."
"I still have some things to do."
"If I leave in the future, I'll take all of you with me."
"Don't worry. As long as you're careful around Tang San and the others, you won't be in any danger for the time being."
"All right, Brother Zhiyan, we understand. If you need Rongrong to do anything, come find Rongrong whenever you like."
After the four of them chatted for a while, Li Zhiyan saw the three of them out.
Then he eagerly opened the system.
[Mission complete] [Reward obtained: one Xiao Wu's Mother Resurrection Card]
"Can my mother-in-law be resurrected?"
"Level 40. Soon."
A little rabbit, white as snow from head to toe, appeared before Li Zhiyan. This was Xiao Wu's mother's true form.
"Hello, Mother-in-Law."
Li Zhiyan stroked the little rabbit, and she affectionately licked his finger. For now, she was just an ordinary rabbit, and her intelligence clearly had yet to recover.
After settling his mother-in-law in, the system issued another mission.
[New mission issued] [Tonight, Dai Mubai will trick Zhu Zhuqing into going out, intending to force himself on her] [Stop him, beat Dai Mubai up, and guide Zhu Zhuqing into castrating Dai Mubai] [Mission reward 1: the host can absorb any Soul Ring and the Soul Bones of violent Ferocious Beasts without any restrictions] [Mission reward 2: Soul Tool Crafting Table] [The host can perfectly craft any Hidden Weapon from blueprints. Note: production requires no metal materials, but output is limited. Supplying rare metal materials can accelerate batch production]
Li Zhiyan paused.
Then his heart was completely overtaken by excitement.
Did this mean he possessed the greatest forging technique in the world?
He currently had blueprints for the Parent-Child Life-Seizing Soul-Chasing Balls and the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles, so he would first craft a set of Parent-Child Life-Seizing Soul-Chasing Balls.
