Chapter 158: The Lakeside Cottage, Su Ming and Xiao Wu

After getting to know Su Ming's character, personality, talent, and strength, Da Ming and Er Ming decided not to disturb him and Xiao Wu. This suggestion actually came from Da Ming. He had learned from Er Ming that on their way here today, Su Ming and Xiao Wu had just officially established their relationship, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to intrude.

After all, they had already met Xiao Wu, and now they knew she had found such a good partner. That was enough for them. Da Ming told Er Ming to go wander around while he himself sank into the lake, leaving time and space for the couple.

Seeing Da Ming and Er Ming depart, Su Ming thought to himself, "No wonder Da Ming is so considerate!"

Then, Su Ming used his spirit ability to create a three-room cottage in an open area nearby. He planned to rest there with Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, shall we go inside and rest for a while?" Su Ming asked, seeking Xiao Wu's opinion.

Hearing Su Ming's suggestion, Xiao Wu looked at the cottage. Normally, she wouldn't have thought much of it, as they had shared rooms at Nuoding Academy and even stayed together at the Rose Hotel before. But now, she couldn't help but feel that Su Ming had something else in mind. Her heart was racing, yet she felt a bit excited.

After a moment, Xiao Wu slowly nodded.

Seeing her agreement, Su Ming took Xiao Wu's hand and led her into the cottage. At the same time, he set up a double-layer barrier of soul power and spiritual power outside the house to prevent any sound from leaking out.

Xiao Wu's spiritual power was strong, so she immediately sensed Su Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she thought. She had walked right into the wolf's den!

Inside the cottage, Su Ming placed a soft mattress on the wooden bed and said with a straight face, "Let's put the mattress here so we can sit comfortably."

He spoke with a calm expression, but Xiao Wu's inner thoughts screamed, "Yeah right, as if I believe that!"

Xiao Wu's heart pounded even harder. Could tonight really be the night? The things Rongrong had talked about in their dormitory conversations — were they about to happen?

During one of their late-night talks with Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong had suggested that Xiao Wu couldn't let other women, who hadn't known Su Ming as long as she had, steal the opportunity.

At that time, Xiao Wu had been hesitant. But now, having already made up her mind about Su Ming and just recently meeting Ah Yin, Xiao Wu's resolve was firm.

Ah Yin was incredibly beautiful, exuding a gentle, sisterly vibe.

Most importantly, Ah Yin was now Su Ming's spirit soul, meaning they were spiritually connected. And Xiao Wu hadn't forgotten that Ah Yin also had a diary and that Su Ming had feelings for her too!

Even though Ah Yin's heart might still be with Tang Hao and her current feelings for Su Ming were mostly gratitude, Xiao Wu thought, What if Ah Yin and Tang Hao have a falling out in the future? And Su Ming is there for her? Wouldn't that be the perfect chance for him?

Xiao Wu figured that if that happened, Ah Yin might just fall for Su Ming. So, she decided that tonight was the night to take action. With just the two of them here, the opportunity couldn't be more perfect!

Su Ming, meanwhile, pulled Xiao Wu onto the bed. As their eyes met, an unspoken atmosphere filled the room.

Staring at Xiao Wu's delicate and beautiful face, Su Ming couldn't help himself and leaned in for a kiss.

Two hours later, Su Ming lay half-reclined on the bed, holding Xiao Wu.

Su Ming thought to himself, I wonder what Tang San would think if he knew? Heh!

But this time, Xiao Wu was his. She had nothing to do with Tang San anymore!

Afterward, Su Ming used his spirit power to heal Xiao Wu.

At the same time, Tang San, who was halfway through absorbing the spirit ring of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as though something bad had happened. But now wasn't the time to worry about that. He was at a crucial point in absorbing the ring. Since he was absorbing a ring beyond his level, he needed to stay focused. After all, his third spirit ring was an over-limit absorption, unlike Su Ming's ordinary thousand-year ring. Thinking of that gave Tang San even more motivation—surpassing Su Ming was within reach!

Nearby, Dai Mubai remarked, "Teacher Zhao, Little San spent almost an hour just recovering. Now it's been another hour. Do you think he'll still be able to save Xiao Wu?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head, "There's no way. By now, Xiao Wu and Su Ming are probably nothing but ashes in the belly of the Titan Giant Ape. Even if they're not, I couldn't even handle the Titan Giant Ape. If Tang San goes, he's just throwing his life away. Once he gets through this danger and finishes absorbing the spirit ring, we'll take him and leave."

Dai Mubai nodded in agreement. So much time had passed already, and there was no point in chasing after them anymore. It was meaningless.

Moreover, Tang San had sprouted eight spider legs from his back. Who knew what was happening? Could he be turning into a spider? Once this was over, they would definitely have to ask the dean about it. After all, didn't the dean have a senior brother who might know something?
