Chapter 268: Tang San Understands, Xu Ran Returns_1

"Pfft. Tang San, I've realized that you're becoming more and more shameless. I, Xiaowu, have seen a lot of disgusting people, but I've never seen anyone like you before," chuckled Xiaowu.

To act a part, was Tang San even disowning his own father now?

It turned out that there really were such people in the world—indeed, there's a bit of everything in a big forest.

"Xiaowu, what do you mean by that? Make yourself clear," Tang San's heart skipped a beat, filled with an ominous premonition. Hao Tian Douluo, why did he share the same character Hao in his name as his father, Tang Hao? And even though his father was often drowning in liquor, his smithing was always impeccable. Most crucially, wasn't that Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique something that no ordinary blacksmith could master?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand.

"Xiaowu, is my father Hao Tian Douluo?" Tang San asked excitedly. At this moment, he finally understood why Xu Ran, despite his power, dared not kill him.

It turned out he had a Titled Douluo standing behind him. A Titled Douluo was incredibly powerful, and that dog Xu Ran could only admit defeat in front of a Titled Douluo.

Xu Ran might have quite a bit of strength and was not lacking in methods, but he was, after all, just a genius, and the gap between a genius and a true powerhouse was massive. No matter how strong Xu Ran's talents were, it was impossible for him at his age to beat a Titled Douluo.

"Heh, Tang San, you don't have to pretend in front of me anymore. You've always known that I am a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who has reincarnated, so you've been clinging to me, wanting to kill me all this time. You and your father, Hao Tian Douluo, are no good. Last time, it must have been you who lured Hao Tian Douluo here, right? Just trying to kill Xu Ran and me."

"But even after Xu Ran drove off your father, you were still harboring wicked intentions. You went to all lengths to obstruct me when I took the Acacia Red, because you knew that Acacia Red could mask my soul beast aura. Heh, Tang San, I have come to see through all of this. You should stop coming to see me from now on. That will only make me find you more disgusting."

Boom!

Listening to Xiaowu's words, Tang San's heart felt as if it had suddenly been struck by thunder from a clear sky.

In this moment,

he finally understood why Xiaowu felt such disgust towards him.

He finally knew the root of the misunderstanding between him and Xiaowu.

Xiaowu was a soul beast, and so she was always worried that he would turn on her.

Originally, Xiaowu hadn't suspected him, but it was Xu Ran who lured him into making mistakes, who tempted Xiaowu to think the worst.

"Pfft. That damn Xu Ran, I hate you!" Now that he knew the truth, Tang San was so angry he could hardly speak. Xu Ran had tied so many knots between him and Xiaowu, and not just one, but many.

With so many misunderstandings, how could he explain himself?

Unless Xu Ran himself admitted that he had been toying with them all along, only then could the misunderstanding between him and Xiaowu be cleared up.

But how could Xu Ran, a despicable, shameless, and lecherous scoundrel, possibly let Xiaowu go? Xiaowu was so beautiful, like a goddess; it would be strange if Xu Ran was willing to let Xiaowu go.

"Tang San, you still harbor ill intentions, huh? Still coveting my precious Xiaowu?" Just then, Xu Ran walked over from behind, watching Tang San's frustrated appearance, and burst into a fit of laughter.

What did it matter if Tang San knew the truth now?

The misunderstandings between Tang San and Xiaowu had grown too large to dissolve. Moreover, Xiaowu now liked him, and she had said she wanted to be his, Xu Ran's, woman in this life and the next, and the one after that.

What was Tang San in comparison?

"Xu Ran, you're back?" Hearing Xiaowu's voice, an incredibly radiant smile suddenly blossomed on her beautiful cheeks. That smile was pure, untainted by a single blemish.

Seeing Xiaowu's smiling face, Tang San's heart trembled—this was, indeed, the most beautiful thing in the world.

But soon, his heart was being ripped apart.

At this moment, Xiaowu entangled Xu Ran like an octopus, affectionately hugging him. Xu Ran, too, had his palm supporting Xiaowu's curvaceous behind, flaunting their love in front of Tang San.

"Brother Xu Ran, I've missed you so much," Xiaowu blinked her beautiful eyes, gazing at Xu Ran with a look full of affection in her dark pupils. Although she said this to provoke Tang San intentionally, she also meant it sincerely.

"I've missed you too. I haven't come to see you these days, so you have to keep me company tonight," Xu Ran's mouth curled into a smile, he patted Xiaowu's behind and then glanced indifferently at Tang San.

Now, precious Xiao Wu and Tang San had no relationship whatsoever.

"Xu Ran, you..."

"Pfft!"

Listening to Xu Ran and Xiaowu's conversation, Tang San found it hard to bear, and under the extreme irritation, he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

What did Xu Ran mean by that?

Tonight? What did he want to do to Xiaowu?

"Beast Xu Ran, I will fight you," filled with rage, Tang San charged at Xu Ran, his hidden weapon ready, and he shot it toward Xu Ran.

As Tang San charged, he roared furiously, clearly having a mental breakdown.

Originally, he was only aware that he had been fooled by Xu Ran, but he still had strong confidence in winning Xiaowu back. However, after realizing that there was such a deep, almost irreconcilable misunderstanding between them, his heart completely shattered, and he lost all faith in retrieving Xiaowu.

Xiaowu's attitude towards him was terrible; no matter what he said, Xiaowu thought he was deceiving her, playing a role. With that, how could he compete with Xu Ran?

Unless he tricked Xu Ran into telling the truth, but that was harder than reaching the heavens.

"Tang San, you still haven't learned your lesson. You're not my match," Xu Ran laughed lightly, flicked his fingers, and several streaks of Sword Intent lashed out, knocking down the hidden weapons Tang San had released.

Xu Ran's figure swiftly moved, appearing in front of Tang San, and kicked him away.

These past days, Tang San had been practicing very diligently, even under Xu Ran's targeting, he rapidly broke through to the Soul Elder realm. But even so, the gap between him and Xu Ran was still widening.

"Pfft." Tang San was sent flying by Xu Ran's kick, crashing hard against a tree, and then fell to the ground.

Before Tang San could get up from the ground, Xu Ran stepped forward and mercilessly stomped on Tang San's head.

"Ah." Tang San cried out in pain, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes brimming with a frenzied killing intent. Xu Ran had taken Xiaowu and was now humiliating him...

"Xu Ran, I hate you. If you dare, just kill me. As long as I live, everything you've done to me, I will eventually return to you."

"Die? Heh, there are things in this world more terrifying than death."

"This is just the beginning. Tiandou City still has a lot of surprises waiting for you."

"And your useless teacher, he will be there with you," said Xu Ran.

After saying this, Xu Ran kicked Tang San away like a dead dog, took Xiaowu in his arms, and left triumphantly.

Tiandou City is a great place. All those characters and powers related to Tang San in the original story, he was going to conquer them one by one, to show Tang San what true despair is.
