"Third Brother~"

"Xiao Wu?!" At the sound of that familiar voice, Tang San's pupils instantly contracted, and his face filled with disbelief. His previously dim eyes finally lit up.

In an instant, he jerked his head up. Sure enough, wasn't the girl before him his Xiao Wu?

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang San rushed forward, nearly bursting into tears. But just as he excitedly prepared to hug Xiao Wu, she used Teleportation to dodge him.

"Sorry, Xiao Wu, I got too excited." Tang San scratched his head. The livid look on his face was gone, replaced by a hint of bashfulness.

As for why Xiao Wu had used Teleportation, for one thing, she was her master's contractor. Although she usually had her master's orders, that didn't mean just anyone could touch her.

For another, Xiao Wu had only recently applied cleansing cream to her face. It carried the scent of concentrated protein, which could easily give her away.

Especially with Third Brother, she dodged without the slightest hesitation for the sake of her master's plan to obtain the Tang Sect Secret Arts from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

"It's okay, Third Brother. I have to thank Tianyu! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it back!"

Xiao Wu spoke with a sincere look on her face. At that moment, Tianyu stood before everyone with a faint smile, supporting Zhu Zhuqing, whose legs were trembling.

"Good lad, how did you all survive under the pressure of that hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

"Phew, that really scared the life out of me!" Zhao Wuji's head was covered in cold sweat, and there was a large lump at the corner of his mouth.

It was clearly left by the Titan Giant Ape's palm strike, which had sent him flying when he activated his Martial Soul Avatar earlier.

"Was it that golden light that saved you?"

Ma Hongjun looked curious as well. The golden cross in the night sky a short while ago had been so dazzling that it was hard not to see it.

"That's right, it was that..." Tianyu nodded slightly but offered no further explanation. He merely smiled and patted the Scarlet Flame Lion on his shoulder.

The Scarlet Flame Lion let out an awooo, its large eyes shining brightly.

"I see. Good, good! Thank goodness you're back. Otherwise, Flender would never have let me off," Zhao Wuji said excitedly.

Meanwhile, Tang San's eyes had never left Xiao Wu. At the same time, he secretly resolved to give her some proper instruction from now on.

If, at the moment the Titan Giant Ape attacked, Xiao Wu had been able to use the Purple Demon Eye to notice something was wrong, just as he had, and then immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to flee the danger...

Wouldn't she have been spared that mortal danger? And Tang San wouldn't have worried so much that life was worse than death!

Although dodging an attack from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast seemed impossible, being prepared and able to save her life in time would still be a good thing.

That was what Tang San genuinely thought. Meanwhile, Tianyu had inexplicably lost another 691 Fortune Points.

All because that Tang Sect slave had genuinely decided to pass the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record on to Xiao Wu so she could protect herself.

Tianyu: "?????"

Wait...

Why have my Fortune Points dropped so much again?

Tianyu was dumbfounded. It was only because this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had earned him a pile of Fortune Points for free; otherwise, wouldn't he have gone bankrupt on the spot?!

"Hey, Zhu Zhuqing, are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"Why is there white foam at the corner of your mouth? Could you have been poisoned?!"

After learning that Tianyu was still alive, Dai Mubai grew agitated, nearly panting like an ox with his eyes bloodshot, wishing Tianyu would drop dead on the spot.

But on second thought, his fiancée was alive, at least. For the sake of his hope of taking revenge on the eldest prince, he hurriedly asked after her, looking emotional.

Slurp~

Before Dai Mubai could get a look, Zhu Zhuqing eagerly licked every bit of white foam from the corner of her mouth, nearly making a sound from the cloying taste.

"I'm fine. I don't need you worrying about me."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold snort, as aloof as ever. Her face was expressionless, and she couldn't even be bothered to look at Dai Mubai.

"I..." Dai Mubai was at a loss for words. Ma Hongjun also came over to comfort him, looking every bit the expert in romance.

Who would have thought that, the next moment, Dai Mubai, unable to save face, would give him a couple of hard smacks on the butt?

The sight set everyone laughing. At the same time, Xiao Wu took Tang San by the arm and pointed happily at Tianyu and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Third Brother, from now on, Zhu Zhuqing is my bestie!"

"And Tianyu is my male bestie! To save me, he nearly drained his Soul Power dry. He saved my life, so you have to repay him!"

Tianyu: "It wasn't Soul Power that got drained dry..."

Xiao Wu chattered excitedly. People often only learned to cherish a loved one after losing them, and Tang San was no exception. In the end, he cupped his fists and thanked Tianyu and Zhu Zhuqing.

However, although he understood what "bestie" meant, what did Xiao Wu mean by "male bestie"?

Whenever Tang San thought about it, he had an ominous feeling. His head felt muddled, as though it were bubbling green.

Only after Xiao Wu explained did Tang San pretend that the realization had dawned on him and nod. His earlier agreement to cooperate with Dai Mubai was instantly void.

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. Now the term "male bestie" had come out-was this relationship really normal?

He took a long look at Tang San, who had shown no sensitivity to the term from beginning to end and had even breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he feel a trace of sympathy?

But in truth, the two of them were simply fellow sufferers!

I got everything I was supposed to get, and even contracted what I wasn't supposed to get. This really has been smooth sailing.

Tianyu reflected inwardly and naturally accepted Tang San's cupped-fist thanks.

At the same time, Tianyu grew increasingly aware of the importance of Fortune Points. Besides the Soul Contract, they could also be consumed automatically to ward off disaster for him.

If not for that, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena probably wouldn't have sent Bi Ji alone.

Instead, she would have sent Di Tian directly to deliver a crushing blow to Tianyu before he had fully developed!

Good thing Bi Ji was the one who came. Otherwise...

And I have to say, Bi Ji really is wet! Tianyu couldn't suppress his smile. At the same time, he activated the Soul Contract with a thought and sensed her location.

At that very moment, Bi Ji was high in the sky, secretly watching everything Tianyu did. Jealousy stirred in her heart. Why were Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing enjoying themselves so much?

They could receive all of their master's favors whenever they pleased!

While she...

Because of her master's orders, she could only protect him in secret from a distance, lest a certain elusive Titled Douluo strike and hurt him.

How could a mere Titled Douluo possibly hurt me?

Master is too cautious, but these are his orders~

Bi Ji was lost in confusion, but when she thought of how Tianyu was also doing this for her own good, a warmth gradually spread through her heart.

As for Di Tian?

Sorry...

He was irrelevant!

Because the Bi Ji of today, from top to bottom, inside and out, had thoroughly taken the shape of her master~

Di Tian: "Yamete!!!"
