Chapter 126: Xiao Wu Refuses to Leave
Chapter 126: Xiao Wu Refuses to Leave
As Wang Si and Liu Erlong engaged in deep conversation, Tang San arrived at Wang Si's estate. Undoubtedly, he wanted to take Xiao Wu away, but that was easier said than done.
Tang San departed dejectedly, not only failing to bring Xiao Wu with him but also seemingly having created conflict between them.
Now, Xiao Wu didn't even want to acknowledge him, glaring at him with resentment whenever she saw him.
Tang San was perplexed by Xiao Wu's sudden animosity towards him. He couldn't understand why her attitude had changed so drastically after being apart from him for just a few days.
At this moment, back at Shrek Academy, Tang Hao was persuading Yu Xiaogang to convince Tang San to give up on Xiao Wu.
"What's your intention, Haotian Douluo? Tang San and Xiao Wu are clearly a perfect match. Why are you against their relationship?" Yu Xiaogang asked, puzzled.
Tang Hao could only sigh helplessly in response to Yu Xiaogang's question. "You don't need to concern yourself with the details. Just tell Tang San that he has no future with that Xiao Wu and ask him to let her go."
As Yu Xiaogang was about to ask more questions, Tang Hao quickly departed, as the Qibao Liuli Sect's Sword Douluo had accompanied the Bone Douluo to the Royal Heaven Capital City.
The one left behind to look after Ning Rongrong was only a Soul Emperor, so Tang Hao seized the opportunity to discuss some matters with Yu Xiaogang.
After finishing his business, Tang Hao left in a hurry.
He was well aware of Zhu Ming's strength and didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to discover Xiao Wu's ability to transform into a spirit beast.
Moreover, as a Douluo herself, she certainly wouldn't mind having a ten-thousand-year soul ring as her ninth soul ring.
On top of that, since she had already acknowledged Xiao Wu as her goddaughter, Tang Hao could easily imagine Xiao Wu's fate.
Additionally, through a simple investigation, he also found out that Wang Si's reputation wasn't very favorable.
While Tang San, who lacked life experience, might not understand the implications, Tang Hao, who was more worldly-wise, knew what Xiao Wu would have to go through.
Thus, he was even more determined to keep his son away from this mess, as it wasn't something Tang San could handle.
Watching Tang Hao's figure disappear, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to his mouth as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he could only sigh in apparent "helplessness."
Once he confirmed that Tang Hao was truly gone, Yu Xiaogang's previous expression faded, replaced by a mischievous smile.
"Tang Hao, you still have the heart to worry about your son. After being busy for so long, haven't you returned to the Holy Soul Village even once? Or do you simply not care about Aunt Silver?"
As if remembering something, "Yu Xiaogang" sighed softly.
"Such a waste, such a waste. They are both top-notch talents, the kind that would be considered powerful fighters anywhere. Yet, they are both love-struck fools."
Glancing at Liu Erlong's private garden at the back mountain, "Yu Xiaogang" shook his head in exasperation.
How could she think that her attempts at concealment would work? It was simply a case of willful blindness.
At the same time, Wang Si also wanted to see how long it would take to completely win over Liu Erlong, a love-struck fool.
He would go through the motions, but his heart wouldn't be in it.
…………
"You really don't plan on letting go of Shrek Academy?"
Buttoning up his shirt, Liu Erlong took one last look at Wang Si, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
"Do I need to emphasize it again? Look at who you have in your Shrek Academy now. The young miss of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Do you really think anyone would dare to target her? As the beloved daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, do you think the competition committee would dare to cause trouble for your academy?" Wang Si explained helplessly.
Hearing Wang Si's powerless explanation, Liu Erlong shook her head. "I'm not concerned about the competition committee's attitude. They don't dare to target us because they are afraid.
"I can let you go, but as for letting Shrek Academy off the hook, I'm sorry."
These were Wang Si's final words to Liu Erlong, and perhaps what she most wanted to hear.
Knowing that he would continue to target Shrek Academy, Liu Erlong could comfort herself with the notion that her actions were for the sake of the academy.
Since she could take the initiative once, Wang Si wasn't worried about her doing it again.
However, it was hard to imagine what would happen if Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, the two rivals in love, were left together.
It might be quite interesting.
But for now, it wasn't suitable to play such games, as he hadn't won over Bibi Dong yet.
If Bibi Dong changed her method of attack the next time they met, Wang Si would be in trouble.
Seeing Liu Erlong out, Zhu Wu bounced into the house.
"I sent Tang San away. That guy seemed very reluctant to leave. If I'm not wrong, he must resent you now."
Zhu Wu had not learned much from Xiao Wu other than her carefree personality, which Zhu Wu had perfectly imitated.
"Let him resent me, then. It was only a matter of time anyway."
Zhu Wu looked at Wang Si, who showed no interest in her, and pouted boredly before flopping onto the bed where the previous battle had taken place.
"Hey, are you serious?
If not for your intervention, would that little rabbit have really sacrificed herself to save that guy?"
Zhu Wu reached out and examined the body thoughtfully, a puzzled look on her face.
Wang Si shook his head.
"Who knows? That little rabbit might have sacrificed herself, or she might not have. But without a doubt, she would have become his soul ring."
Despite Wang Si's assurances, Zhu Wu didn't seem entirely convinced. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the possibility of the little rabbit becoming his soul ring was indeed quite high.
"Sister Lan once said that this body, reborn through a soul bone, is actually the ideal transformed state for a spirit beast.
And in order to obtain powerful soul skills, the process of obtaining your soul ring must be recognized by a powerful spirit beast.
So, master, what kind of inheritance did you receive? I feel like you received an inheritance from a spirit beast."
Wang Si fell silent for a moment in response to Zhu Wu's question.
In fact, when Xiao Wu had given him a burdensome soul ring during her sacrifice, he had already started to suspect this.
He could bring a spirit beast to its most perfect transformed state, but he couldn't control the beast's aptitude.
It seemed that he was indeed following the path of a spirit beast's ascension to godhood. While the early soul rings could be enhanced to the hundred thousand-year level, the upper limit of the soul skills derived from low-level spirit beasts was limited.
In the later stages, if he wanted more powerful soul rings, he would truly need some high-year spirit beasts, and it would be best if those spirit beasts willingly sacrificed themselves.
Convincing high-year spirit beasts to sacrifice themselves was an extremely difficult task, and the best way seemed to be becoming their leader.
But to become the leader of a spirit beast clan...
Wang Si thought about it seriously and felt that... it wasn't impossible.
If he could win over that Silver Dragon King, then who among the spirit beasts would dare disobey him?
