Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Side Story 1: Two Xiao Wus
After the worlds of Douluo Dalu (novel) and Douluo Dalu (anime) became interconnected, things started getting progressively bizarre!
The characters from the novel retained their original names, while the anime characters had "2" appended to their names.
Xiao Wu stared at Xiao Wu 2, who looked slightly different but had a much more "refined" design.
She was utterly stunned, her mind blank, and her expression bewildered.
"What... What is going on?!"
Xiao Wu shouted, blinking in confusion, her clear eyes filled with puzzlement.
Xiao Wu 2—the anime version of Xiao Wu—looked equally perplexed as she observed the girl in front of her.
"Wait… Could she be my sister or something?" Xiao Wu 2 wondered.
But that didn't make sense—she had never heard of having a sister or a sibling.
The Soft Bone Rabbit was no ordinary rabbit.
As the queen of rabbits, it was incredibly rare, and typically, only one offspring was born at a time.
Xiao Wu was sure she didn't have a sister. Her mother had never mentioned one.
"Who are you?" Xiao Wu 2 asked.
"I'm Xiao Wu, as in 'dance'!"
Xiao Wu 2: "…"
If you're Xiao Wu, then who am I?
After some back-and-forth, the two finally pieced together what was happening.
"What? You're with Dai Mubai?"
"What? You're with Tang San?"
Both Xiao Wus stared at each other, completely flabbergasted.
For Xiao Wu 2, Tang San was... well, a thoroughly unpleasant person.
He wasn't particularly skilled but was always seeking attention!
Fortunately, after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, she hadn't seen or heard from him again.
Maybe he couldn't handle the blow and chose to live in seclusion. Whatever the case, out of sight, out of mind!
Novel Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was equally confused.
In her world, Dai Mubai had been dumped by Zhu Zhuqing—he had no skill and was a notorious philanderer.
How could Xiao Wu 2 possibly like someone like him?
"Uh, my Little Si isn't called Tang San anymore. He severed ties with Tang Hao and changed his name to Li Si," Xiao Wu explained.
Tang Hao, in her view, didn't deserve to be a father. His actions showed no responsibility at all—he was just running away from reality.
Li Si had healed Tang Hao's old wounds, repaying the debt of gratitude. After that, he left Tang Hao to guard the Blue Silver Emperor as an act of penance.
Li Si knew what Tang Hao had done in the past, which was why he hadn't resurrected the Blue Silver Emperor outright.
Making Tang Hao guard her was a form of redemption.
"By the way, what's up with your Dai Mubai? In our world, he's a total philanderer. He even got dumped by Zhu Zhuqing!"
Xiao Wu laughed as she spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu 2 froze.
Philanderer? What philanderer? Dai Mubai? No way!
"That's not being unfaithful—it's just being open-hearted!" Xiao Wu 2 thought to herself, blushing slightly.
Her relationship with Dai Mubai began during a trip to the Star Dou Forest.
Of course, she wasn't about to share that. It was her deepest secret, one she still revisited with him from time to time as they returned to that forest to "reminisce."
Shaking her head to dispel those memories, Xiao Wu 2 hesitated before saying,
"Dai Mubai? He's doing great. Zhuqing is the main wife and treats me really well. Sometimes she even pulls me along to… uh, never mind. Anyway, the weather's been chilly lately; you should dress warmly!"
The two Xiao Wus continued their discussion, marveling at how their lives had diverged after they met different people.
"Dai Mubai might be a bit of a flirt, but he treats every girl gently and equally. He even ensures that everyone benefits from his success!
Take Xiao Qing and Xiao Xue, the twin sisters—he's even granted them eternal life."
Xiao Wu 2 blushed slightly as she spoke.
"Even his elder brother, Davis, didn't want to be emperor. After having a child, Dai Mubai helped him secure a divine position too."
"Speaking of gods, haha, the Rakshasa God really doesn't get along with him. She still can't let it go. Even the Angel God—Qian Renxue—resents him for being such a flirt and always greets him with a scowl."
In the anime world, Xiao Wu's mother, Wu Mei, wasn't killed by Bibi Dong but sacrificed herself to her.
Bibi Dong had promised Wu Mei that she would resurrect her after becoming a god.
As a result, there wasn't much animosity between Bibi Dong and Xiao Wu—Xiao Wu just didn't know about this at first.
"How many wives does Dai Mubai have?" Xiao Wu asked, thoroughly confused by what Xiao Wu 2 had just said.
She knew who the Rakshasa God was—Bibi Dong!
In her world, after Bibi Dong became a god, Li Si had even approached her to request the resurrection of Xiao Wu's mother.
Originally, Bibi Dong had extracted the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline from Yu Xiaogang and given it to Li Si, hoping he would stop her when she went too far.
But instead of stopping her, he had disappeared!
By the time she realized this, she had managed to control the Rakshasa God's power and unify the Douluo Continent.
Later, she learned that Li Si had gone to the other side of the planet, the Sun-Moon Continent.
On the Sun-Moon Continent, cultivation was the same as on the Douluo Continent, but the emphasis was on developing soul tools rather than soul power.
In response to Li Si's request, Bibi Dong not only resurrected Xiao Wu's mother but also revived Da Ming and Er Ming!
Yes, without Li Si to stop her, Da Ming and Er Ming had become Bibi Dong's soul rings.
But ironically, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise—they became god-level beings.
While they didn't possess divine positions, they were stronger than Level 99 Titled Douluos and only slightly weaker than third-tier gods.
In their revived forms, Da Ming and Er Ming now appeared as humans rather than soul beasts.
Still, they weren't sure whether to hate Bibi Dong or not...
