Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

"Heavy-handed?"

Xue Tianyu chuckled.

"You've all killed people before, yet you still have the nerve to accuse me of being too harsh?"

"She's just a cute girl! Are you even a man?" Tang San was furious, holding Xiao Wu in his arms as he berated Xue Tianyu.

Unbelievable.

"What a joke."

Xue Tianyu shook his head, his gaze icy as he looked at Tang San. "If I were weak and she had succeeded in her sneak attack, what would've happened to me?"

"If I were the one seriously injured, would you be blaming her for being too heavy-handed?"

Tang San's breath hitched.

He knew that was impossible.

In fact, if Xiao Wu had managed to seriously injure Xue Tianyu, he would have been ecstatic.

After all, Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Drop was incredibly powerful.

As long as she could get close...

Xue Tianyu understood Tang San's thoughts completely and spat disdainfully. "Hypocrite. Get lost!"

Honestly, he didn't even care if Xiao Wu got close.

Eight-Stage Drop?

Ha.

He just didn't want his clothes getting messed up by the rabbit.

As for Tang San, he wasn't even worth considering. If he wanted to defeat Xue Tianyu, his only option right now was to kneel.

Seeing the utter contempt in Xue Tianyu's eyes, Tang San forcibly suppressed the raging fury in his heart. His fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

"Hmph, you'll pay for this attitude of yours!"

Tang San turned and left with Xiao Wu in his arms.

Right now, healing Xiao Wu was more important.

...

At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were both frantic with worry down below the stage.

Oscar had already prepared a large supply of sausages.

The moment Tang San and the others came down, he immediately handed them over.

These sausages were useful for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's injuries, but Xiao Wu's wounds were too severe—they needed to get back to the hotel as soon as possible.

Before long, Shrek Academy returned to their lodging.

Liu Erlong had been waiting eagerly for them to bring back good news, but instead, she saw Tang San carrying Xiao Wu—her face deathly pale and weak from her serious injuries—as he rushed in anxiously.

"What happened?!"

Liu Erlong and Grandmaster rushed to Tang San's side almost simultaneously to check on Xiao Wu's injuries.

"Tell me—who did this?!"

Seeing Xiao Wu in such a miserable state, Liu Erlong was furious.

"I'll cripple him!"

She had always been fiercely protective, and now that one of her own had been injured like this, she couldn't stand it.

Only Yu Xiaogang barely managed to hold her back.

"Erlong, don't be impulsive."

Grandmaster sighed. "We were outmatched—there's nothing we can do."

"If we step in now, it'll only put us in a weaker position."

Tang San knew Grandmaster's words were reasonable, but that didn't make it any easier to swallow.

Xiao Wu had been hurt—this was absolutely unacceptable.

He had to get revenge.

A brutal revenge!

Xiao Wu could harm others all she wanted, but if someone dared to hurt Xiao Wu?

Unacceptable!

They were the only ones allowed to bully others.

And others weren't allowed to fight back—if they did, then they were in the wrong!

All they had to do was obediently let Xiao Wu beat them up, and the matter would have been over. But instead, they dared to resist—this was sheer defiance!

Tang San calculated in his mind. During this tournament, he had to find a chance to make that guy, Xue Tianyu, pay the price!

At the very least, he had to make him kneel and apologize!

"Cough, cough..."

At this moment, Xiao Wu coughed twice, pulling Tang San back from his thoughts.

"Xiao Wu, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine..." Xiao Wu's condition was already much better than when she had been on stage.

"Xiao Wu, just focus on recovering. I'll definitely avenge you." Tang San gently stroked Xiao Wu's face and spoke tenderly.

But soon, he looked up at the rest of Shrek Academy.

"For now, we need to gather information on this Xue Tianyu. Don't provoke him directly just yet."

"That's right. We still know too little about him." Ning Rongrong agreed.

"But no matter what, messing with us was the worst mistake he could've made!" Dai Mubai was also feeling frustrated—he and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even had a chance to show most of their skills.

Ma Hongjun looked equally unwilling to accept defeat. "We still don't know enough about him."

Oscar patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder. "Don't worry—next time, I'll make enough sausages for you! We'll take him down together!"

Aside from the Shrek Seven Devils, even their substitute members looked indignant.

After all, they hadn't even gotten a chance to display their strength before being frozen solid by the opponent's bizarre abilities.

They also wanted to teach Tianshui Academy a lesson.

Seeing how much resentment everyone held over losing to Tianshui, Zhu Zhuqing reminded them, "I think we should gather more information. That way, next time, we won't be caught off guard by unexpected abilities."

"Agreed." Dai Mubai immediately nodded.

"Don't worry." Ning Rongrong said confidently. "Next time, with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—one of the strongest support-type martial souls—whatever strange tricks they have will be useless against us!"

After that, everyone continued discussing the matter for quite a while.

Finally, Tang San summarized, "I have a feeling this guy isn't simple. We need to plan carefully before we act—understood?"

Everyone nodded.

"Understood!"

But none of them noticed the way Xiao Wu lowered her gaze, her eyes flickering.

As she recalled the scene in the arena, she felt certain that Xue Tianyu had simply taken advantage of the battlefield.

And he had ambushed her!

Xue Tianyu's actions clearly showed that his close-combat abilities were weak, which was why he had to attack from a distance!

If she had the chance to get in close, Xiao Wu was confident that as long as she could land her Eight-Stage Drop, she would make him piss himself in fear and leave him crippled!

She was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!

And she had actually been bullied by some twenty-year-old brat?!

There was no way she could let this go.

As for what Tang San said—Xiao Wu had already tossed it aside.

Her injuries might have looked severe, but for a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, she would recover in no time.

When that happened... she would personally take her revenge!

She would slam that human called Xue Tianyu into the ground!

...

As the tournament progressed, Tianshui Academy continued to crush their opponents one match after another.

That night, Xue Tianyu sat in his room.

Xue Di walked in.

"Oh my, our little Tianyu is getting closer and closer to winning the championship."

A gentle smile appeared on Xue Tianyu's face. "Aunt Xue."

He stepped forward and hugged Xue Di.

The refreshing scent on Xue Di's body made him feel at peace.

No matter how restless he felt inside, the moment he inhaled Xue Di's scent, all his worries disappeared.

"My dear child, in the blink of an eye, you've already grown up. And you still love hugs so much?" Xue Di wrapped her arms around Xue Tianyu and gently stroked his head.

"Aunt Xue's embrace... I could never get enough of it." Xue Tianyu chuckled.

"Then do you like me?" Xue Di teased.

"I do." Xue Tianyu nodded. "It's a very special kind of like."
