Love-Brained Xiao Wu

Chapter 37 Love-Brained Xiao Wu

"Xiao Wu, you're alright, that's so good!"

Dai Mubai and the others stepped forward to examine Xiao Wu, worried that she might have been injured.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Andy Lau really wasn't lying to me. Xiao Wu really did survive the Titan Ape."

Tang San rushed forward, disregarding the difference between men and women, and hugged Xiao Wu tightly.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Xiao Wu did not refuse, and her feelings for Tang San were not merely those of a brother and sister.

Suddenly she remembered why the Shrek people all guessed she would return safely.

"Everyone, how did you all guess that I would come back safely?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled. Many people knew about the Titan Ape's strength, so she didn't understand why they guessed she could return safely.

Tang San looked embarrassed, thinking that Lan Minghua was lying to him.

Everyone remained silent, and Xiao Wu was even more puzzled.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward and explained, "Hua Zai is in the Star Dou Great Forest. He said you'll be fine."

"So, you're all so sure I won't get into trouble?"

Xiao Wu was stunned, never expecting that her being alright was actually due to Lan Minghua's one-man show.

Tang San saw that Lan Minghua had not appeared, and a smug look appeared on his face.

"How could that be? It's because I used reverse psychology to provoke him into killing the Titan Ape. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe anything he said. And I would definitely go find you regardless of the danger."

Tang San hadn't actually forgotten to look for Xiao Wu; rather, his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk at all.

After all, Lan Minghua's strength was so shocking that he completely forgot that Xiao Wu was still in danger.

Moreover, he wasn't stupid. If he really went alone to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu, it would be no different from sending himself to his death.

Since Lan Minghua said Xiao Wu was alright, Tang San had no choice but to go along with it.

Now that Xiao Wu has truly returned safely, he naturally needs an excuse for not setting out to find her.

Xiao Wu was stunned, her eyes glazed over, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"The Titan Ape... is it dead?"

"Yes, it's dead." Tang San eagerly replied, pointing to the pile of minced meat not far away, "That's the corpse of the Titan Giant Ape. I played a big part in its death."

Xiao Wu looked in the direction Tang San was pointing and saw a pile of rotten, mangled flesh lying on the ground.

I just got back here and there, and there's this familiar smell. I never imagined that the source of this familiar smell would be the corpse of the Titan Ape.

"T-Er Ming?!"

"Er Ming? Who is Er Ming?" Tang San noticed the fear on Xiao Wu's face and comforted her, "Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, the murderer who took you is dead."

Tang San's confident demeanor made it seem to anyone unaware of the situation that he had killed the Titan Giant Ape.

However, Xiao Wu didn't listen at all, her eyes fixed on the pile of minced meat.

II. Erming is dead?!

The mistress had someone... kill Erming?!

No, absolutely not.

Yes, Erming's death had nothing to do with the mistress; it was all Lan Minghua's fault.

He must have killed Erming on purpose!

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with boundless hatred as she placed all the blame for the Titan Ape's death on Lan Minghua.

Because she felt that, regardless of the facts, Lan Minghua was the real murderer.

At this moment, Lan Minghua returned with Oscar and the others, and happened to overhear Tang San's words.

While observing Xiao Wu's expression, Lan Minghua greeted Zhao Wuji.

"Old Zhao, did you see that? I didn't lie to you. You actually didn't believe me? You have to buy me a drink when we get back."

"Definitely, definitely. We won't leave until we're drunk!" Zhao Wuji never expected that he had judged a gentleman by his own petty standards.

How could a titled Douluo possibly lay a hand on a twelve-year-old girl?

Lan Minghua nodded; after all, getting a free drink was pretty good.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Wu would actually develop hatred towards him.

That's right, it's hatred.

However, Lan Minghua had anticipated this.

"To choose to forgive Tang San and hold a grudge against me instead, she really is a love-struck fool."

Lan Minghua chuckled to himself; he had never underestimated the romantic nature of the female protagonists in Huang Jia San Shao's novels.

So this was not unexpected.

"Hate me, then. If you dare to lay a hand on me or Oscar and the others, I'll take your 100,000-year-old soul bone, whether you succeed or not."

Lan Minghua merely glanced at Xiao Wu and then ignored her.

He continued, "Old Zhao, you take them back first. I'll take Oscar and the others to help Zhu Qing obtain her third spirit ring."

"Okay, Xiao Ao and the others won't have any problems following you."

Zhao Wuji responded and led Tang San and the others away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before leaving, Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with resentment.

He hadn't expected that just a few days had passed since he joined Shrek Academy.

The latest novel is first published here!

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power increased like a rocket, rising from level 27 to level 30.

If she continues to improve at this rate, it won't be long before her soul power surpasses mine.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai clenched his fists in resentment.

I originally thought that Zhu Zhuqing would need his help if she wanted to change her fate.

But after witnessing Lan Minghua's true strength, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts had been.

With such a powerful master, why would someone need to join forces with him to fight against the Star Luo Empire?

However, Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai.

She no longer held any hope for Dai Mubai, who had already fallen into depravity.

She will face her own destiny alone.

Although Xiao Wu wished she could kill Lan Minghua immediately, she knew that was impossible.

Erming died, and Daming paid a heavy price for helping her conceal the aura of the soul beast on her body, falling into a deep sleep.

She herself was only a Soul Master, and could not possibly be a match for Lan Minghua.

For now, we can only bury our hatred in our hearts and wait for the right time to strike.

After all, she still believed that Lan Minghua had not discovered that she had transformed into a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and that she had plenty of time to wait for an opportunity.

Little did she know, Lan Minghua, a transmigrator, had already seen through her identity as a soul beast.

Everything that the Azure Bull Python did was of no use to Lan Minghua.

Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast had already been exposed.

After everyone left, Lan Minghua led Oscar and the others deeper into the forest.

Zhu Zhuqing trotted forward and asked, "Master, what kind of spirit beast would be best for my third spirit ring to absorb?"

"No rush, you'll find out soon enough."

Lan Minghua kept everyone in suspense, having already figured out which soul beast would be suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was very obedient and did not ask any further questions.

Compared to Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing is so much more sensible; they're worlds apart.

Thinking of this, Lan Minghua glared fiercely at Oscar.

Oscar was completely bewildered, his head full of question marks.

After continuing further along the road, a violent tremor came from the ground.

Lan Minghua looked up and said calmly, "You've arrived?"

"What's coming? A soul beast?" Oscar, like a frightened bird, immediately grabbed Lan Minghua's leg.

Just then, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, crashing down like a meteorite.

As a member of a family of exotic beasts, Meng Yiran has some knowledge of many soul beasts.

When she saw the dark figure falling, she cried out in surprise.

"That's... the Dark Demon God Tiger?!"
