Next door, Tang San, covered in wounds, heard the sounds coming from the neighboring room.
He was close to losing it.
"Fuck, why is the woman next door such a slut?"
"But that voice really sounds so much like Xiao Wu. Could it be..."
Tang San couldn't help growing suspicious again, but the suspicion passed in a flash.
Xiao Wu had probably only kissed Li Zhiyan.
There was no way the two of them could have gone that far.
Besides, no matter how much nerve Li Zhiyan had, he wouldn't dare stay here. This was where Shrek Academy's students lived.
If he were caught, Li Zhiyan would be as good as dead.
He could beat Tang San, but there was no way he could beat Zhao Wuji and Dean Flender.
"Such a slut..."
Tang San tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The more he thought about what had happened today, the more aggrieved he felt.
"I have to hurry and make some Hidden Weapons. Today was clearly a perfect chance to show off in front of Xiao Wu."
"Even Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong might have fallen for me, but..."
Tang San wanted a harem but didn't dare admit it, leaving him deeply conflicted.
"If only I had the Dragon Whisker Needle! Li Zhiyan, that beast, stole all the limelight!"
The more Tang San thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He had never felt so aggrieved in his life.
Afterward, he began comforting himself again.
Actually, Xiao Wu still loves me.
The two of us are the couple destined to be together.
She only kissed Li Zhiyan today because she was bewitched by his Martial Soul.
That's right, she was bewitched by Li Zhiyan's Martial Soul...
Comforting himself, Tang San tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Only when things quieted down next door did he fall asleep, exhausted.
Xiao Wu looked at Li Zhiyan shyly, feeling deeply embarrassed.
"Brother Zhiyan..."
Xiao Wu covered her eyes and lowered her head.
Now that she had regained much of her composure, she felt deeply embarrassed.
Li Zhiyan recalled how Xiao Wu had looked just now and saw a striking contrast with her cute, shy appearance at present.
"Xiao Wu, don't be shy."
"I have something to tell you."
Hearing Li Zhiyan's serious tone, Xiao Wu finally moved her hands away and looked at him.
"Brother Zhiyan, go ahead."
"Xiao Wu."
"I gained a new ability today, and I've already summoned your mother."
Before reaching level 40, the Resurrection Card was of no use to Xiao Wu's mother, so it wasn't very convenient for Li Zhiyan to take care of Xiao Wu right now either.
"My mother, she's been resurrected!"
Xiao Wu was instantly overcome with excitement. In her heart, she had dreamed of seeing this day. Only a life with a mother to love her was complete!
"That's right, Xiao Wu. But it can't quite be called a true resurrection yet."
Li Zhiyan went to the bedside and pulled the little rabbit out from under the covers.
"This is your mother."
"But she doesn't have sentience yet."
"When I reach level 40, I should be able to try resurrecting her."
Li Zhiyan felt a little anticipation. The Resurrection Card's resurrection wouldn't bring her back at level 0 like Ah Yin.
It would restore Xiao Wu's mother to the fighting strength of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, equivalent to a Titled Douluo.
Then it would be as if he had gained a Titled Douluo to fight on his behalf, and he wouldn't have to be so afraid of his own shadow in so many matters.
"Really, Brother Zhiyan!"
"Mom, sob..."
Xiao Wu picked up the rabbit. Its familiar scent told her that this rabbit really was her mother.
"Mom, it really is Mom."
"Brother Zhiyan, thank you."
"Xiao Wu will always listen to you, in everything."
The moment Xiao Wu saw her mother, she knew she could never repay Li Zhiyan's kindness in this lifetime.
Even if her mother couldn't truly be resurrected in human form, having her mother's original body back was enough.
It had been far, far too long since she had felt this sense of security.
"All right, Xiao Wu, it's about time. You should head back first."
"Be careful not to reveal where your mother came from."
Li Zhiyan checked and saw that the mission time was almost up.
"Okay, Brother Zhiyan, I'll head back first."
Xiao Wu held the rabbit with great care.
She was terrified that she would suddenly wake up and find it had all been a dream.
Fortunately... the real sensation of holding her reminded Xiao Wu that she wasn't dreaming.
As she left, Xiao Wu gave Li Zhiyan a long look, her beautiful eyes full of affection. She knew she could never leave Li Zhiyan in this lifetime.
Her very life belonged to Brother Zhiyan, and from now on she would obey any order he gave her.
After Xiao Wu left,
Li Zhiyan was in a good mood as well. He truly pitied girls like Xiao Wu, who had no mother to love them.
Now, at least, she could live happily.
He then strode outside. With the Aura Concealer, as long as he didn't use his Soul Power recklessly, not even the current Tang Hao could hope to detect him.
Before long, Li Zhiyan saw Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing outside the hotel.
"Dai Mubai, what exactly did you want to talk to me about?"
Earlier, Dai Mubai had asked her to come out so he could tell her something: a secret concerning their lives and deaths.
"This is very important. I didn't want to tell you before, actually."
"But things aren't right now, so I have no choice but to tell you."
Dai Mubai's expression was grave.
"Let's find somewhere quieter. I'm afraid someone might overhear."
"Also, Zhu Zhuqing, I really do like you."
"No matter whether you'll be with me in the future, I hope the two of us can be friends."
"After all, we're both strangers in a foreign land."
"I hope we can both cherish this friendship."
Seeing how sincere Dai Mubai looked, Zhu Zhuqing softened a little.
After all, both she and Dai Mubai came from the Star Luo Empire.
No matter what, they were from the same homeland.
There was no need to go so far as never speaking to each other again.
"Mm."
"Follow me, Zhu Zhuqing. We'll talk over there."
Zhu Zhuqing followed Dai Mubai.
She didn't think much of it. After all, surely Dai Mubai wouldn't actually use force to coerce her.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing following beside him, Dai Mubai's thoughts turned twisted.
Damn filthy whore, you really think you're some precious branch of gold and leaf of jade, don't you!
In a moment, I'll put on a show of a tiger catching a cat and let her see what cruelty really means!
Behind them, Li Zhiyan quietly followed.
A gleaming dagger had appeared in his hand.
"This knife is nice."
"It's very sharp. It should be quite suitable for castration."
When Li Zhiyan thought of how Dai Mubai had chimed in that day, demanding that he be driven out of Shrek Academy, he felt a surge of satisfaction.
This time, he had to turn Dai Mubai into Eunuch Dai.
