Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Xiao Wu—Tang San, Kowtow! Even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo Must Kneel!
The thought of Tang San proving his love to her through thick walls and heavy doors made Xiao Wu restless, her breathing quickening.
"Brother San... Brother San... huff..."
Her eyes, almost feverish, had taken on a faint pink hue.
Like an octopus clinging to the wall, she wished she had ears growing all over her body.
She wanted to hear Tang San's answer with her own ears!
'Kowtow, Brother San.'
'Your Xiao Wu is listening.'
'Kowtow.'
...
Tang San's expression changed drastically.
He stared at Xue Tianyu, unable to speak for a long time.
'One hundred kowtows?'
'Impossible!'
'I am Tang San!'
'Is Xiao Wu really worth me discarding my dignity like this?'
Tang San still remembered—Xiao Wu was currently in Xue Tianyu's bed.
If she had simply been captured and imprisoned, he might have stepped forward to save her.
But Xue Tianyu had just made it crystal clear—Xiao Wu had willingly climbed into his bed wearing lingerie!
If she had truly betrayed him, yet he still abandoned his pride for her, wouldn't that make him the ultimate fool?
No matter whether Xiao Wu had betrayed him or not, just silently appearing in Xue Tianyu's room was already a grave mistake!
She was a young woman, alone with a man in a bedroom—how could she explain that in the future?
"Kowtow or not?" Xue Tianyu yawned. "If you won't, then I'm going back to sleep. Xiao Wu might already be awake, waiting for me to stroke her hair."
The more Xue Tianyu spoke in veiled terms, the more the flames in Tang San's eyes burned.
Both were cultured men—they understood each other.
Speaking too bluntly would only cheapen the insult.
Tang San hesitated.
He didn't even want to kneel, let alone kowtow!
And one hundred times?
Every fiber of his being rejected the idea.
Xue Tianyu saw Tang San's expression and figured he was about to give up.
So he simply turned around. "Alright then, take care. I won't see you off. I'll go back and enjoy my time with Xiao Wu."
"Wait!"
Tang San stretched out a hand, calling out.
Xue Tianyu turned back, eyes lowered.
"What is it now? Don't interrupt my intimate time with Xiao Wu."
"I agree!"
These four words were practically squeezed out through Tang San's clenched teeth.
"Oh?"
Xue Tianyu was genuinely surprised.
Even he hadn't expected Tang San to actually agree to kowtow.
Inside the bathroom, Xiao Wu, upon hearing Tang San's answer, was overcome with joy, her face lighting up with wild excitement.
"Brother San!!!"
"I knew you loved me!!!"
She wanted to let her voice be heard but knew that was impossible.
Outside the door—
The moment Tang San spoke those words, he regretted them.
In his previous life, he was a man of renown. Now, in this world, he was an unrivaled genius.
Even Grandmaster had said that his talent was rare, perhaps seen only once in a century.
And yet, such a genius was about to kneel and kowtow before another man for the sake of a woman!
And more importantly—he wasn't even sure if she had betrayed him.
Whether he kowtowed or not, he had already lost. So if that was the case, why should he abandon his dignity?
He couldn't kneel...
If he knelt, even if his body remained intact, his soul would never stand up again.
He looked at Xue Tianyu with difficulty. "Can... can we change the condition?"
"Change the condition?" Xue Tianyu looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Didn't I already say?"
"As long as you bring Yu Xiaogang here, everything can be discussed."
Xue Tianyu leaned in with an expression of concern, as if speaking to a mentally challenged child. "Kowtowing was already the 'changed' condition, and now you want to change it again?"
"A bit greedy, aren't you, little brother?"
Tang San opened his mouth but found himself unable to speak.
He looked down at his legs.
Was he really going to kneel?
Just as Tang San was struggling with his decision, Ning Rongrong stepped forward.
She came close to him, lowering her voice to whisper:
"Brother San, don't kowtow..."
At that moment, Tang San felt as though he had found an anchor. He immediately turned to look at Ning Rongrong, who was right beside him.
"Rongrong, do you have a way?"
At this moment, he didn't care about Oscar's feelings.
As long as she could help him break this deadlock, he would do anything.
From Oscar's point of view, seeing Ning Rongrong so close to Tang San was unbearable!
"Brother San, have you forgotten my background?" Ning Rongrong smirked confidently.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Rongrong." Tang San became excited. "As long as you help me through this, I'll do anything you ask!"
Ning Rongrong nodded confidently.
"Don't worry, Brother San. Leave it to me."
She flashed what she believed to be a charming smile.
Then, like a Sichuan opera performer changing faces, she suddenly became arrogant, looking down at Xue Tianyu.
"My father is Ning Fengzhi! I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"If you don't want to offend our sect, release Xiao Wu immediately, and we can pretend none of this ever happened!"
Ning Rongrong was full of confidence.
As one of the top three sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's connections far surpassed the other two.
Especially now, with the Clear Sky Sect in seclusion, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan couldn't compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's influence!
Whenever she encountered trouble, simply revealing her identity was usually enough to send people scrambling in fear.
This was the confidence her sect gave her!
However, Xue Tianyu completely ignored her words.
Putting aside his own strength, he still had Bing Di and Xue Di back at the hotel.
Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo came, they would have to kneel.
Who was Ning Rongrong to him?
He simply looked past her and focused on Tang San.
"Hurry up and bring Yu Xiaogang over. I don't have time to waste on you."
Xue Tianyu was calculating—Ma Hongjun had already left a while ago. No matter what, Yu Xiaogang would likely come.
Now, how should he deal with Yu Xiaogang?
Just the thought was exciting.
Should he break his hand first?
Seeing Xue Tianyu completely ignore her despite being the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's princess, Ning Rongrong was furious.
Under normal circumstances, if someone had treated her like this, she would have gone berserk.
She was the Seven Treasure Princess—who was she afraid of?
But for Tang San's sake, she forced herself to remain calm.
"You're from a remote place, so maybe you don't understand our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Let me tell you, we have two Titled Douluos as our guardians! Our wealth rivals the two great empires!"
"Even the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire must treat my father with utmost respect!"
The more she spoke, the more her pride swelled, her confidence in her sect reaching an all-time high.
"Do you understand?"
"Now! Immediately! Release Xiao Wu so she can see Brother San!"
Ning Rongrong raised her chin arrogantly. "Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will make you understand why flowers bloom so red!"
