Anything I, Tang San, Set My Eyes On Belongs to the Tang Family
Hearing Wang Changsheng call him a double-standard dog,
Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.
He immediately argued back.
"How can you say it's the same?"
"How is it not the same?" Wang Changsheng countered.
Tang San was furious.
Suddenly, a surge of resentment welled up in his chest, and he roared even louder than before.
"The cave abode belongs to Dugu Bo, that's true, but you can't lump the Immortal Herbs in with it."
"I told you, those Immortal Herbs are my payment for treating Dugu Bo."
That made Wang Changsheng laugh again.
"All right, then let me ask you: did Dugu Bo agree to give you any payment?"
Tang San's face darkened.
For some reason, his confidence ebbed a little.
He and Dugu Bo had only just met, and there was some animosity between them. Under normal circumstances, Dugu Bo would never give him any such payment.
But he was facing Wang Changsheng now, so naturally, he wasn't afraid.
"Whether he agreed or not, that's between Dugu Bo and me. It's none of your business."
Wang Changsheng could see it now.
Tang San's skin was thicker than most.
He was a transmigrator and knew the plot at this point very well.
Even if Dugu Bo were going to reward Tang San, that would come later. At this point in the plot, why would Dugu Bo give Tang San any reward?
From beginning to end, it was all Tang San's own self-righteous explanation.
"Double-standard dog, the facts are right in front of you, and you're still trying to argue your way out of it? Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I've never seen anyone so shameless."
Tang San's face and neck flushed red at the retort, and he shouted,
"Think whatever you like. In any case, I, Tang San, have a clear conscience about how I conduct myself."
A clear conscience about how he conducted himself?
Oh my god.
Wang Changsheng was so disgusted he nearly threw up.
Tang San had stolen the Immortal Herbs first, and after Wang Changsheng caught him, he dressed it up as a reward from Dugu Bo?
And he still dared to claim there was nothing wrong with how he conducted himself?
That was the funniest joke Wang Changsheng had heard all year.
"Little Scumbag, all you have left is a stubborn mouth."
"I can't be bothered arguing with you. Just do as I say. When Dugu Bo comes back, admit on your own that you destroyed this place, point right at his nose, and tell him, 'Anything I, Tang San, set my eyes on belongs to my Tang Family. I destroyed my own cave abode, so what the hell is it to you?' Did you hear me?"
Another outrageous demand like that?
It seemed Wang Changsheng really was insane, and his madness was acting up again.
Tang San's rage soared to the heavens, and he shouted his refusal.
"No, I didn't."
Wang Changsheng smiled and nodded.
"That's fine. You don't have to cooperate, but Xiao Wu will suffer because of you."
Tang San's face darkened.
Whenever Xiao Wu was mentioned, his heart bled.
And it wasn't just Xiao Wu.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Teacher Liu Erlong-all four had fallen into Wang Changsheng's clutches. It was no longer a secret; all of Shrek Academy knew.
Therefore,
Tang San wasn't worried.
"You've already harmed Xiao Wu. What else can you do?"
Wang Changsheng saw the hope Tang San was clinging to.
But he didn't see it that way. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily in a wicked smile.
"That's right, I have harmed Xiao Wu. But I don't suppose you want me to beat her to death, do you?"
"You..."
The resentment in Tang San's heart churned wildly like the surging sea.
As long as Xiao Wu was alive, at least he still had a chance to reunite with her.
After all, his teacher had said that sooner or later, Wang Changsheng would be killed by another god.
"Little Scumbag, as the saying goes, a miserable life is better than a good death. Maybe one day the Divine Realm will have business with me. Once I leave, won't things go back to the way they were between you and Xiao Wu?"
Wang Changsheng had gotten that absurd theory from Yu Xiaogang.
Now he was using it on Tang San.
Given Yu Xiaogang's love of bullshitting, Wang Changsheng believed he must have told Tang San about that possibility.
While the two were arguing,
a green figure came whistling toward them.
When he saw that Wang Changsheng was there too, a trace of affability appeared on his cold old face, and he cupped his fists and bowed with the utmost respect.
"Dugu Bo greets Lord Sunlight."
Wang Changsheng nodded lightly.
He gave Dugu Bo a reassuring answer.
"Mm. I heard you'd captured Tang San, so I came along especially to see him make a fool of himself."
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback.
It seemed his observation had been correct: Wang Changsheng really didn't like Tang San.
Immediately afterward,
Wang Changsheng changed the subject and pointed to the ruins nearby.
"I just got here and saw the cave collapse in an instant. I wonder whose cave abode this is? And who destroyed it?"
As he spoke,
Wang Changsheng deliberately looked at Tang San.
Tang San's expression was uglier than if he'd eaten shit.
Of course,
Dugu Bo was even more anxious.
Once he was sure Wang Changsheng wasn't helping Tang San, he rushed forward in a single stride and pointed fiercely in Tang San's face.
"Tang San, you were the only one in the cave. Was it you, brat? Did you destroy this old man's cave abode?"
The muscles in Tang San's face remained taut.
He was grinding his back teeth hard enough to break them.
Wang Changsheng was clearly the one who had destroyed the cave.
Yet
he had no choice but to take the blame for that bastard.
To keep Xiao Wu safe,
and to have things go back to the way they were between them,
he frowned and forcefully pushed Dugu Bo's pointing arm away.
Then
he pointed back in Dugu Bo's face, utterly self-righteous.
"That's right, I did it."
Dugu Bo flew into a rage, a violent Soul Power presence surging from his body.
"Tang San, so you bastard have been deceiving this old man all along?"
"You deliberately stalled for time under the pretext of preparing an antidote for me, then destroyed my cave abode the moment I left? Tang San, how dare you play this old man for a fool?"
Dugu Bo abruptly raised a hand.
Green Soul Power surged wildly in his palm.
Tang San began to feel fear.
This was a Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo was furious and would never hold back as he had before.
A single slap would definitely kill him.
But he still hadn't finished what he had to do to cooperate, so he could only steel himself and keep pointing in Dugu Bo's face.
"Anything I, Tang San, set my eyes on belongs to my Tang Family. I destroyed my own cave abode, so what the hell is it to you?"
Wang Changsheng had been waiting for Tang San's line.
Once the whole scene was set, he immediately recited silently in his heart.
System.
Sign in.
[Ding...] [Sign-In System checking...] [Congratulations, host. Sign-in successful. Invincible tomorrow]
Hearing that the sign-in had succeeded,
Wang Changsheng was delighted.
In any case, the Immortal Herbs belonged to Dugu Bo. Now that they had lost the cave abode's nurturing, Dugu Bo would have a hard time in the future.
Wang Changsheng wasn't the sort of person who only took and never gave.
"Dugu Bo, I can cure the poison in your body."
"Lord Sunlight? Really?" Dugu Bo asked excitedly.
First Soul Skill.
Sunlight.
Wang Changsheng summoned his Sun Martial Soul, letting the sunlight shine on Dugu Bo.
Besides being a group attack skill, his Sunlight Soul Skill could also heal wounds and neutralize poison, and it evolved as his Soul Power increased.
Now that he was a god,
he could neutralize any poison beneath divine power.
Soon,
Dugu Bo felt a warm current flow through his body. After he spat a mouthful of green poison from his mouth, the poison that had lingered in his body for years was completely purged.
"Not only have I cured your poison, but I've also left a Sunlight Mark inside you. Every day, this mark will purge the poison produced by your cultivation at a set time. Unlike certain people, who claimed you needed a Soul Bone to contain it, you can cultivate your poison arts without worry from now on."
Standing nearby, Tang San could tell: was Wang Changsheng taking a veiled jab at him?
You're a god. How can you compare yourself to me?
"Thank you, Lord Sunlight." Overcome with excitement, Dugu Bo dropped to his knees.
"Oh, right. Bring your granddaughter to see me on the back mountain of Shrek one day. I can draw all the poison out of her body too."
"Thank you again, Lord Sunlight. This old man will bring Yanyan to visit you another day."
"All right, we'll talk about that later. Tang San has already confessed to his crime, so deal with him as you see fit."
Without wasting another minute, Wang Changsheng flashed away,
leaving Tang San in disarray in the wind.
