Chapter 184 – 202. Xiao Wu, You're Playing With Fire
In the early morning, before the sun had risen, Xiao Wu quietly left Dai Mubai's dorm. Before leaving, she licked her lips:
"I didn't expect that, as a transformed soul beast, I would actually have a Martial Soul Fusion resonance—and this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is even led by me."
Ever since she arrived at Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu had felt the Martial Soul resonance between herself and Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. This greatly surprised her. She was a transformed soul beast—could someone actually have a Martial Soul resonance with her?
There was no way to find a precedent for this in history. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were already rare, and hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beasts were even rarer. There was no such case in recorded history.
But for Xiao Wu, rather than investigating why, it was better to make good use of this.
She had come to the human world with hatred. She needed to find the man named Tang Hao and avenge her mother's death. Naturally, she needed support.
Tang San had good talent and was obedient, but his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was fragile. And his father was also named Tang Hao. Xiao Wu could not determine whether that Tang Hao and the Tang Hao she sought were the same person. Before she had certainty, she would always harbor a knot of mistrust toward Tang San.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were, to Xiao Wu, real sources of support. Those who shared a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would never betray the dominant party, and Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai were all exceptionally gifted human soul masters.
At this moment, in Xiao Wu's heart, Dai Mubai and the others had a much higher status than Tang San. Tang San was, at best, a well-trained little dog, while Dai Mubai and the rest could become her loyal knights. Naturally, she couldn't treat humans the same way she treated dogs.
Thinking this, Xiao Wu took the chance—before Tang San woke up—to return to her own dorm.
After a while, Tang San woke up. As usual, he climbed onto the roof, sat down cross-legged, and absorbed the Purple Qi from the East to cultivate.
After cultivating for some time, the sun had risen. He calculated the time, went outside the village to buy carrot-filled buns and soy milk, and quietly waited for Xiao Wu inside her dorm.
After a while, Xiao Wu came out of her room. She yawned and then looked at Tang San.
Tang San hurried up to her and said, "Xiao Wu, I bought your favorite carrot buns, and also soy milk."
Xiao Wu accepted the breakfast and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Ah San giegie."
"It's not hard. Everything is worth it for you," Tang San said.
The next day, when training began, Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with wandering eyes. His gaze kept drifting toward Xiao Wu, but he was afraid Tang San would notice.
After the dual cultivation of the first night, Dai Mubai felt even more that Xiao Wu was more captivating than all the women he had ever been with, including Zhu Zhuqing. The key was…
She was the wife of a God King, Tang San's scabbard, Tang San's forbidden woman—someone he would never have dared to even imagine touching before. Her identity alone enhanced her allure in Dai Mubai's heart.
But when Tang San's probing gaze turned toward him, Dai Mubai shivered uncontrollably. He nearly forgot—Tang San was the future Sea God and Asura God. In the future, he would have to cling to Tang San's thigh to ascend to godhood. How could he possibly lust after Tang San's woman?
Our Dai Shao only had a thief's heart, but no thief's courage—for now.
Dai Mubai is acting strange, Tang San thought suspiciously.
Later that day, something happened at Shrek Academy. Flender appeared as the dean, and Ning Rongrong displayed her witch-like temperament, only to be harshly taught a lesson by Flender. That matter can be set aside for now.
Late that night, Tang San once again considerately escorted Xiao Wu back to her dorm and then returned to his own room alone to lie down.
Tang San stared at the ceiling, thinking about what events would unfold next, based on his previous life.
In his past life, when Oscar reached Rank 30, Zhao Wuji took them to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for spirit rings. On the way, they encountered the Canghui Academy and the Dragon Duke and Serpent Lady. That part can also be set aside.
The key was what came next. Back then, the Titan Giant Ape appeared suddenly and took Xiao Wu away. He had risked his life pursuing them, but encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider on the way and killed it to obtain its spirit ring, ultimately obtaining the precious Eight Spider Lances.
Now that he knew the relationship between Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape, should he still pretend to be anxious and desperate when Xiao Wu was taken?
Of course he should. First, it would demonstrate his deep affection for Xiao Wu and move her further. Second—it was for the Eight Spider Lances.
From the perspective of Martial Soul attributes, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was not suitable for his Blue Silver Emperor. But the external spirit bone it provided was extremely important.
It was a spirit bone with extraordinary growth potential, eventually evolving into the Sea God's Eight Wings.
In his past life, Tang San used the Eight Spider Lances' poison to bring down many human geniuses, and even used them to absorb the life force and potential of many geniuses. Back then, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation was poisoned by him. After the match, Bibi Dong forced him to detoxify them, which he happily did while secretly absorbing a portion of their life force and potential.
The devouring of life—was that not a life-attribute ability?
For this precious external spirit bone, sacrificing a spirit skill slot was worth it in Tang San's eyes. Besides, once he resurrected Xiao Wu in the future, he could replace a round of spirit skills anyway.
Tang San thought blissfully, completely unaware that something was happening next door—something that would make his eyes turn blood red and leave him breathing like an enraged bull.
Despite having lived an entire life again, Ma Hongjun still ended up going astray. But he had not forgotten Bai Chenxiang. During his free time from cultivation, he still seized every moment to train.
However, his situation was like Ma Xiaotao's in the second series—the more he cultivated, the more his evil fire surged. And the more it surged, the more he needed to extinguish it.
Thus—
Ma Hongjun's evil fire surged once again. His face flushed red, and suppressing the rising fire in his heart was reaching the breaking point.
At that moment, a hand suddenly reached over Ma Hongjun's shoulder from behind, and another hand slipped under his arm. A soft, teasing voice sounded behind him:
"Hongjun giegie, it seems like you're facing a bit of trouble. Do you want Xiao Wu to help you solve it?"
Feeling the softness pressing against his back, hearing Xiao Wu's ear-melting voice, smelling her intoxicating scent, Ma Hongjun's evil fire burst forth like a collapsed dam—completely uncontrollable.
Xiao Wu, you're playing with fire, he thought, using the last bit of his rationality to break free from her embrace.
