No wonder, no wonder Xiao Wu could escape the notice of a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo.
It turns out she had already been preemptively claimed. Plus, with me and Yan Yan here, they couldn't act.
"If Yan Yan and I hadn't been here today, Grandpa and Master would have definitely taken Xiao Wu away."
Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
"Hey, old poisoner, no matter what, today we've certainly broadened our horizons."
Recalling the little girl who exuded the aura of a spirit beast, Yu Luomian's tone carried a hint of unwillingness.
After all, as Dugu Bo had said, if his elder brother had come today, no matter what, they wouldn't have let a 100,000-year spirit beast in human form slip away under their noses.
A 100,000-year spirit beast! Such a rare find, and one that had taken human form, making it easy to deal with. Such a heaven-sent opportunity, and they had to watch it slip away.
"Yes, we've certainly broadened our horizons."
Dugu Bo nodded indifferently, a trace of regret in his eyes.
"Shrek Academy, huh..."
Yu Luomian looked out the window, muttering with a somber expression.
Although they had let the 100,000-year spirit beast go this time, now that they knew she was at Shrek Academy, as long as she remained within the Heaven Dou Empire, there were still ways to capture her.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Tang Hao frantically scratched his bleeding back filled with regret that Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian had discovered Xiao Wu's true identity.
Dugu Bo was manageable. Although he had broken through to level 94, he was still a lone wolf with no backing.
But Yu Luomian was a different story. If he reported this to Yu Yuanzhen, Xiao Wu would undoubtedly face a massive manhunt from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
As a member of the Upper Three Sects, Tang Hao knew all too well how weak and meaningless so-called agreements were. If the temptation was great enough, such agreements were worth less than toilet paper!
Unless he could kill both of them now and silence them permanently. But in his current severely injured state, killing Yu Luomian alone would cost him dearly. Add in Dugu Bo, a level 94 Title Douluo, and Tang Hao stood no chance. In fact, it might even provoke them, causing the agreement to break prematurely.
"It seems I'll have to move up the plan and have Xiao Wu leave Shrek as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the pursuit comes, I won't be able to protect both of them."
With this in mind, Tang Hao took one last look at Tang San, who had just taken Ma Hongjun into the medical clinic, and then, with a few quick movements, arrived at Zhao Wuji, who was supporting Dai Mubai.
Seizing the moment when Zhao Wuji wasn't paying attention, Tang Hao snatched the despondent Xiao Wu away.
"No!!"
Before Xiao Wu could even cry out, she was forcibly taken away.
By the time Zhao Wuji realized Xiao Wu was missing, his heart grew even heavier.
"Pfft!!"
The poison in his body had already spread throughout.
Now, seeing that Xiao Wu was also gone, Zhao Wuji, overwhelmed with anxiety, spat out another mouthful of black-purple blood.
"Sizzle..."
As the blood hit the ground, it sizzled and corroded the surface.
"Damn it, I'm really unlucky. I barely escaped Tai Tan's pursuit, and now I've offended a Title Douluo because of these brats and am poisoned to the point of death... Sigh, if we can't find her, Tang San is going to go crazy. My life is truly miserable."
Now, Zhao Wuji knew he had to first settle Dai Mubai before going out to look for Xiao Wu.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao took Xiao Wu to the edge of the town, close to the Star Dou Great Forest, where she could quickly return.
After revealing his identity and explaining the situation, Xiao Wu, despite her reluctance, had no choice but to turn and leave.
She wanted to stay with Tang San, but since her identity had been discovered, she had to leave. Otherwise, she would bring danger to Tang San.
Even if she had to die, her soul ring and soul bone could only belong to Tang San.
"Uncle, please tell Brother San I'm sorry."
With that, Xiao Wu quickly ran into the Star Dou Great Forest.
At the central lake within the Star Dou Great Forest, the forest overlord, the Titan Giant Ape, and the forest emperor, the Sky Azure Bull Python, sensed Xiao Wu's aura. The Titan Giant Ape immediately rushed toward the forest's edge.
Watching Xiao Wu disappear into the distance, Tang Hao turned and quickly returned to Tang San's side.
Time flew, and night fell, giving way to dawn.
The exhausted Tang San, carrying the now conscious but still unable to walk Ma Hongjun, arrived at the inn. Coincidentally, they ran into Zhao Wuji, who had been searching for Xiao Wu all night after settling Dai Mubai.
"Teacher Zhao, we're back. The doctor said Fatty's injuries are severe. His limbs have comminuted fractures, and they can't do anything."
Tang San spoke calmly, his eyes scanning the area, searching for that familiar pink figure.
"Sigh, let's have Shao Xin take a look when we get back and see if there's anything he can do."
Zhao Wuji, poisoned and having spat out several mouthfuls of blood that could kill an ordinary person, was on his last legs after a sleepless night. He needed rest.
"Everyone, go get some rest. We'll head back to Shrek tomorrow. Fatty's second soul ring will have to wait."
Zhao Wuji said helplessly.
He had planned to leave today, but he was simply too exhausted.
"Teacher Zhao, where's Xiao Wu? Which room is she in? Is she still asleep?"
Tang San, not seeing Xiao Wu anywhere, asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
Then he slowly said:
"Sorry, Little San. Yesterday, when I was bringing Mubai here, Xiao Wu suddenly disappeared. After settling Mubai, I immediately went out to look for her, but I couldn't find her all night. I'm sorry."
"Teacher Zhao, what do you mean? Xiao Wu is missing?"
Tang San's expression finally changed, showing shock.
"Yes, Little San, Xiao Wu is missing. I'm sorry. I didn't keep an eye on her. I searched all night but couldn't find her. I'm sorry. I lost Xiao Wu."
Zhao Wuji said.
Seeing Zhao Wuji's sincere apology, Tang San's expression shifted from shock to anger.
After a brief silence, he shouted at Zhao Wuji with all his might:
"You couldn't even keep an eye on Xiao Wu?! What good are you?! You might as well just die!!"
