Tang San felt that Dongfang Yao was his nemesis.
She hadn't had a good day since the day she arrived at Shrek Academy.
Dongfang Yao frowned slightly, turned her head and glanced at Tang San, who was hanging his head, panting heavily, and seemingly deep in thought.
What does this kid mean?
She felt inexplicably offended and uncomfortable.
On the other side, Meng Shu had clearly lost his patience: "Boy, since you don't want to join my family, leave behind an arm as compensation for my granddaughter, and then get lost!"
Tang San suddenly raised his head, and without hesitation, he drew the Zhuge Crossbow and aimed it at Meng Shu, his attitude self-evident.
Being so defied by a mere Great Soul Master, Meng Shu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his anger was almost bursting forth.
Just as he was about to strike and kill Tang San...
A deep voice suddenly rang out: "Senior Dragon Lord, please show mercy!"
A series of figures darted out, it was Zhao Wuji leading the Shrek Academy team.
Upon seeing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, Dongfang Yao's eyes lit up: "Rongrong! Zhuqing!"
"Yao'er!" The two women called out in unison, rushing over with anxious expressions.
They carefully examined Dongfang Yao several times to make sure she was unharmed, and only then did their tense nerves relax a little.
"Thank goodness you're alright, you scared us to death!" Ning Rongrong patted her flat chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, did the same action.
However, the difference in size between the two women's chests makes the scene present a completely different picture.
Then, Zhao Wuji lowered his voice and whispered Tang San's background to Meng Shu.
He is not only a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, but also the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao.
Upon hearing these two names, Meng Shu's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
What the hell? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Clear Sky Clan, and the previously mentioned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Have all three sects been gathered?
If we gather the power of the next four sects and combine the strength of all seven sects, will we be able to summon the dragon?
The Human-Faced Demon Spider had already perished under Dongfang Yao's sword.
Tang San and Meng Yiran naturally failed to make a bet, but Meng Yiran refused to admit defeat, and the two still had a contest of throwing knives through falling leaves.
This allowed Tang San to show off once again, and he unexpectedly received a sweet kiss from a beautiful girl.
Once everything had settled down, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang took Meng Yiran away to continue their search for a suitable soul beast.
Meanwhile, the Shrek Academy group continued searching for a matching spirit ring for Tang San, who was breaking through to level 30.
Dongfang Yao wanted to leave the forest as soon as possible, so she offered to lead the way again.
However, this time, apart from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing continuing to offer their support, they failed to gain the approval of anyone else.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the encounter with the Titan Ape might not be directly related to Dongfang Yao.
Even so, the gap between them is like an invisible wall, growing thicker day by day.
Tang San, in particular, preferred to believe that Dongfang Yao had done it on purpose rather than to think about the possible special qualities of Xiao Wu herself.
However, after traveling through the forest for a while, the scene that appeared before them astonished even Tang San himself.
A girl dressed in a pink dress and wearing rabbit ears on her head was slowly walking out of the dense forest ahead.
That figure, who else could it be but Xiao Wu?
"I... Am I dreaming? Xiao Wu, is it really you?" Tang San was so excited that he was incoherent, and his voice was trembling.
"Brother, it's me." Xiao Wu's eyes were also filled with tears, and she sobbed uncontrollably.
The two rushed toward each other like positive and negative magnets, embracing tightly as if trying to merge the other into their very bones.
Witnessing this scene, Dongfang Yao gently pursed her lips.
Having been pampered by her older brother and parents since childhood, she rarely felt envious.
But at this moment, she could only envy the affection between the two people in front of her.
Lover, brother and sister... Sigh.
She sighed silently to herself, longing just as much to be as close to her brother.
After a brief moment of tenderness, their emotions calmed down.
The crowd then gathered around and inquired about Xiao Wu's experiences with concern.
Xiao Wu first glanced quickly at Dongfang Yao at the back of the crowd, understanding that she had not revealed her secret.
Only then did he begin to recount his carefully crafted explanation:
How did he hear the earth-shattering roar of the bull and scare away the Titan Giant Ape? How did he manage to kill a soul beast that was knocked unconscious by the blast, and finally obtain his third soul ring?
After hearing this, Zhao Wuji and the others had some doubts, but they did not investigate further.
After all, the fact that people can return safely is already a great blessing, so a few doubts seem less important.
Those whose hearts were with Shrek chose to believe, but those whose hearts were no longer with Shrek...
For example, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a knowing glance.
This trip to the Starry Sky Forest was fraught with difficulties.
But the most fortunate thing is that the same number of people entered the forest and left the forest, with no one missing. This is the best possible outcome.
Moreover, the trip was very fruitful.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar both successfully obtained their third spirit ring.
Surprisingly, Xiao Wu and Tang San also each gained a brand new third soul skill.
As for Tang San, the human-faced demon spider that was originally destined for him was killed by Dongfang Yao with a single sword strike.
Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils were quite ambitious and unwilling to accept Dongfang Yao's help in leading the way. They wandered aimlessly around the edge of the forest like headless flies, naturally unable to find a suitable target for a long time.
Finally, they encountered a Mandala snake with a cultivation level of about 1,700 years.
Tang San couldn't bear to trouble his companions any longer to run around and live in fear for him, so he chose this snake as the source of his soul ring.
The resulting soul skill is called "Thousand Snake Binding".
This is a single-target control soul skill. Its effect is to summon hundreds of snake-shaped blue silver grasses on the ground. They will quickly swim towards the enemy, tightly wrap around and bind them, making it difficult for them to break free.
Upon learning the effects of his soul skill, Tang San appeared calm and unconcerned, as if he didn't care at all.
Deep down, he was filled with intense resentment and profound regret.
Tang San was certain that the human-faced demon spider with two thousand years of cultivation was the most suitable choice for his third soul ring, which might make the Blue Silver Grass stronger and give it a deadly poison attribute.
And the result? The cooked duck flew right out of their mouths!
This intense sense of loss and resentment made his hatred for Dongfang Yao, who "kindly" saved him but then stole his soul beast, grow ever stronger.
Even if the other party's initial motivation was to save his life.
But the resentment in his heart grew wildly like a poisonous vine!
In the shadows, unnoticed by everyone, Tang Hao...
Tang Dachui secretly protected his son all along.
It's truly a case of "birds of a feather flock together."
Tang Hao also believes that it was Dongfang Yao's seemingly "unintentional" sword strike that completely ruined his son's chance to obtain a high-quality soul ring, resulting in the third soul skill of the young master being too mediocre.
But what's done is done, and what can a dignified Haotian Douluo do?
Should we rush out and beat this little girl up like we did with Zhao Wuji?
'But this young girl's initial intention was, after all, to save the mistress's life.'
Besides, the other party is a girl.
It was already embarrassing enough to target Dongfang Jing in the past.
Tang Hao was caught in a deep dilemma and contradiction.
When faced with the threats from the Dragon God and Snake Goddess, Dongfang Yao, as their classmate, stood by and did nothing about Tang San's predicament, appearing indifferent and heartless.
However, from the perspective of a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she abides by the rules and regulations, safeguards the interests of the sect, and her actions are beyond reproach, even serving as a model of loyalty.
No force, regardless of the strength of the other party, should implicate the sect behind them because of personal desires.
This is a wound in Tang Hao's heart that will never heal, which is why he is particularly sensitive to such things.
If Dongfang Yao were to stand up for the mistress, she would become too deeply involved with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is not what Tang Hao wants to see.
After much deliberation and weighing of options, Tang Hao was unable to find a satisfactory solution that could quell his inner turmoil.
Ultimately, he decided to make a note of the debt for the time being.
Let's see if Dongfang Yao can bring more substantial help or opportunities to the mistress in the future.
If that's truly the case, then it can be considered an invisible form of compensation for this spirit ring incident.
