Xiao Wu's Reward, Xiao San's Doubts~

Though dark clouds filled the sky that night, a bright moon still cast its warm light straight onto everyone's faces.

In Tianyu's dorm room.

After these days of training at Shrek Academy, Tianyu's strength had improved to a certain extent.

For example, when facing a Soul Master with a tool-type Martial Soul, Tianyu was no longer afraid, even if he used only his fists.

What was more, he had a Self-Created Soul Skill similar to Dai Mubai's fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower.

As for the Fire Burst series, with the comprehension he had gained by spending Fortune Points, Tianyu had also made considerable headway on his Blazing Fist series of Soul Skills!

On the bed, Zhu Zhuqing was cultivating with a tranquil mind. After all, her master's Soul Power had already broken through to level 34, so she had to work hard too.

It was worth mentioning that although Shrek Academy had no Mimicry Cultivation Environment, Tianyu could forcibly create a miniature array using Heaven-Breaking Stones.

For example, at this very moment, four Heaven-Breaking Stones with something like the shadow attribute were placed around Little Kitty.

Among them, in particular, was the purple Heaven-Breaking Stone obtained from the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ghost Tiger that Tianyu had hunted earlier.

Around Little Kitty, three Heaven-Breaking Stones gave off a dim yellow glow, while the remaining one emitted a deep purple light, simulating a Mimicry Cultivation Environment.

Thanks to the Heaven-Breaking Stones, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had broken through to level 28 in just a few days!

There was actually a miniature Heaven-Breaking Stone array around Tianyu as well, but its effect on him was growing weaker and weaker.

"So this is a storage-type Soul Tool! It really is convenient..."

Looking at the storage bracelet on his wrist, Tianyu curled his lips upward, unable to hide the delight on his face.

In particular, the bracelet was decorated with three diamond-shaped crystals. On closer inspection, it looked remarkably like the Zero Bracelet from the Ultraman movie Tianyu had watched in his previous life!

"Each diamond-shaped crystal has ten cubic meters of storage space, thirty cubic meters in total. That's even more space than Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!"

At the mention of Tang San's name, a tighter force came from below Tianyu.

Besides the Soul Tool, Tianyu had another surprise in his hands today: an exceptionally detailed illustrated guide to Immortal Herbs that Xiao Wu had just brought over!

The Immortal Herbs in it were too numerous to count. Whether it was the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that had appeared in the original story, or even Immortal Herbs that had not, they were all described one by one.

Both the illustrations and the methods of use were as detailed as could be.

Even what kind of person was suited to each Immortal Herb was described and explained one by one.

It was worth mentioning that the introduction to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red was the most detailed in the entire guide~

It was clear that Tang San had put his heart into it for Xiao Wu's wish!

"Good, good. It looks like I've more or less taken care of the first step toward obtaining the Immortal Herbs."

"Xiao Wu, you did well. I'm very satisfied!"

Tianyu's lips curved slightly as he praised her from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Wu: "Gulp, slurp~"

"Oh, oh, I almost forgot. I've got your mouth plugged!"

With a gulp, Xiao Wu's gaze grew hazy, and her eyes nearly rolled back into her head. Fortunately, Tianyu let go in time.

Only then could she desperately gulp down fresh air.

"Hehe~ Xiao Wu would never refuse Master's orders!"

"Even if Third Brother came, Xiao Wu would still choose Master first, hehe!"

"Good, good, good. Then I really must give you a proper reward!"

Outside the girls' dormitory.

Tang San gazed up at the bright moon. Though everything around him was quiet, his heart felt unusually restless.

In particular, when the moonlight shone on his face, Tang San felt an unusual stickiness and warmth, with none of the moonlight's former luster.

"What's going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?"

Tang San sighed deeply and rubbed his hair, feeling as though the top of his head were green, full of vibrant life and lush greenery~

Tang San had originally wanted to find Xiao Wu and share what was on his mind. On top of that, he had given her an illustrated guide to Immortal Herbs today, one he had stayed up two days and two nights to draw.

Because of this, Tang San had a feeling that his relationship with Xiao Wu would take another step forward.

In fact, in the original story, it was around this time that Tang San braided Xiao Wu's hair, and their relationship really did deepen!

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu had not merely had her hair braided this time. She had changed her hairstyle altogether, wearing it in twin ponytails~

"I just asked Ning Rongrong, and she said Xiao Wu was nowhere to be found. Where could Xiao Wu have gone so late at night?"

"Yes, where could she have gone?" Tang San fell into confusion. He could not help looking up at the moon, and so he waited in the cold wind for half an hour.

Just then, Tang San located a sound, whirled around, and saw Xiao Wu with her new twin ponytails, still trembling as she walked.

"Th-Third Brother!" Xiao Wu instantly shuddered all over. Her face went pale, and her voice was filled with surprise.

"Xiao Wu? Where did you go? And why did you change your hairstyle? Wait... why is there white congee at the corner of your mouth?"

Tang San was startled. Though his voice was gentle, his heart felt heavy as he hurried forward to ask her.

"White congee? Oh, I was just hungry, so I sneaked over to the cafeteria to find something to eat!"

Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes darted around. She swallowed, quickly licked the white congee from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Tang San with an innocent expression as she spoke.

"I see..." Tang San frowned slightly, but his complete trust in Xiao Wu slowly dispelled his doubts.

Yes, Xiao Wu looked so innocent and pure. How could she possibly lie to him?!

As for Xiao Wu's new hairstyle, Tang San did not dare ask about it. After all, it was a girl's business, and he could hardly pry.

Little did he know...

The reason for it all was simply that Tianyu wanted to ride a motorcycle~

Afterward, just as in the original story, Tang San blushed as he braided Xiao Wu's hair.

The act was the same, but Xiao Wu's heart had completely changed, because she was now Tianyu's Contract Beast through and through!

As he braided her hair, Tang San was surprised to discover that it was a little sticky. It was not oil, but a strange white liquid.

As he continued braiding, Tang San could not resist taking a lick. Sure enough, the taste was rather cloying~

Tianyu: "If you like it, have some more!"

Just then, Xiao Wu remembered her master's orders and began asking Tang San about his cultivation experience, before abruptly switching to a diagram of meridians and acupoints.

Tang San found it a little strange, but the moment he remembered it was Xiao Wu, his love-struck brain took over, and he agreed as if possessed.

A little while later, Xiao Wu's twin ponytails had become a scorpion braid again.

At the same time, the thought that she could get another reward after completing her master's orders filled her heart with delight.

Xiao Wu: "Hehe, Master's reward, here I come!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's heartfelt smile, Tang San smiled in relief too~
