Tang San, fuming with rage, let out a sneering laugh and said with disdain,
"So the two of you have given up on your dignity to be Luo Yu's dogs."
"My strength exceeds his by more than a hundredfold."
"Why not be my dogs then?"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were stunned for a moment, exchanging glances.
An air of sheer ridiculousness swept across their faces.
"Mubai, did I hear that right? What did this guy just say?"
"Exceeds Brother Yu by a hundredfold?"
"This is just preposterous."
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, "Perhaps it's not naivety that'll be your undoing, but innocence."
"Brother Yu's strength is not something you can fathom."
"And there's something else I need to make clear to you."
At this, Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed with a fierce and dominating light.
"What do you take us for, exactly?"
"Even if Dai Mubai were to be a dog, he'd only be one for Luo Yu, the only one in this world worthy of my loyalty."
"Who do you think you are?"
His words struck deeply into Tang San's heart.
"Boom!"
Tang San moved as fast as lightning, his leg kicking out like a thunderclap, hitting Dai Mubai in the stomach.
Striking a vital point, Dai Mubai fell to the ground in pain.
A smile touched the corners of Tang San's mouth, "Recognize my strength now?"
Blood trickled from the corner of Dai Mubai's mouth as he wiped it away with a large hand and spat out viciously.
"Tang San, the moment you made a move, you lost completely."
"Had it been Brother Yu, just his aura bursting forth would have me crushed to the ground. You're far, far behind him."
Tang San shook his head repeatedly.
"Mad, you really are mad,"
"Just wait and see. You will all pay for your ignorance and regret not following me."
"Once on the battleground, I will unleash all my strength before the entire empire and show you just how laughable Luo Yu, that clown, really is."
Dai Mubai laughed.
"Perhaps... by that time..."
"You won't even have the chance to kneel."
"Get lost! If it weren't for my rush to see my beloved Xiaowu, I would have subdued you right now."
Tang San kicked Dai Mubai aside, not bothering to look at the two again, and strode into the hotel.
Ma Hongjun hurried to help the blood-spitting Dai Mubai.
"Mubai, how are you feeling?"
Clutching his chest, Dai Mubai grimaced in pain.
"The bastard is ruthless, he just broke one of my ribs with that kick."
"I'll take you to the doctor," Ma Hongjun said.
"No need," Dai Mubai blocked with his hand, "I want to wait here to see how that guy comes out later."
Ma Hongjun humphed, "How can he come out, he's done for, that damned evil spirit can't be stopped."
"Sigh..."
"Mubai, why the sigh?" Ma Hongjun asked, puzzled.
Dai Mubai shook his head repeatedly.
"It's a pity. Brother Yu didn't see our display of loyalty just now."
"That was a prime opportunity to strengthen our relationship."
"If we don't bond now, given Luo Yu's rate of development, we might be considered too insignificant to even be his lackeys in the future."
Ma Hongjun hesitated, "I feel like we might be scorned already, without waiting for the future."
"Even the all-powerful Female Pope is willing to be one of his women; what do our meager strengths amount to?"
Feeling the pain in his rib, Dai Mubai sneered,
"Ha, let's just wait and watch the spectacle; it's surely better than dealing with this idiot."
"I'm not even concerned about reclaiming my fiancée, yet he still pines for his Xiaowu?"
After entering, Tang San described Xiaowu's features to the hotel receptionist, including her distinctive scorpion braid.
After getting the room number, he headed straight upstairs.
"It must be this one; it has to be this room."
"2520."
Tang San glanced at the door number, a look of joy spreading across his face.
Without knocking in haste, he dusted off his trousers and adjusted his collar.
Finally, he used both hands to tidy his blue hair, brushing his hanging fringe upwards.
Thinking of Xiaowu, whom he'd been longing for, excitement and warmth surged within Tang San.
What was Xiaowu doing inside?
Taking a bath?
Changing clothes?
Would my sudden knocking be too abrupt?
We haven't seen each other for so long, I wonder if she's missed me.
There should be one, after all, I'm his third brother, she's just temporarily bewitched by Luo Yu, I believe she must have me in her heart.
Tang San steadied his mind, patted his chest, and psyched himself up.
You need to have confidence!
The you of today is no longer the same as before, what can that Luo Yu guy compare with you, there's no reason for Xiaowu not to like you.
He raised his hand, about to knock on the door when it suddenly hovered mid-air.
His ears twitched, as if hearing an unusual noise.
"What's that sound?"
He pressed his ear against the door, listening intently, a trace of a smile spilling over his lips.
Xiaowu's breathing so rapidly, is she practicing in the hotel?
As expected of the woman I like, so diligent in training.
Wait a minute!
Tang San's brows furrowed.
She's asking to be gentle?
Gentle with what?
Hurts?
???
Tang San was utterly confused, could it be someone was helping her stretch her legs?
He knew that Luo Yu was wooing his aunt at Yuexuan's, so it definitely wasn't Luo Yu in the room.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Tang San decided to knock and find out what was going on.
However, after knocking, there was not the slightest reaction from inside the room.
Of course there was no reaction.
Xiaowu thought it was other sisters coming to fight over a man with her, naturally, she wouldn't bother.
Luo Yu also started playing deaf and dumb.
After all, this was a critical time.
A rider finding it hard to dismount.
What exactly is Xiaowu doing, ignoring three knocks on the door?
Tang San was incredibly puzzled, clinging tightly to the door, listening with rapt attention.
At first, it was okay.
But gradually his expression turned more and more wrong, his fingers trembling.
Until he heard Xiaowu excitedly screaming "Husband".
He was struck by a thunderbolt out of the blue sky, his mindset shattered, his eyes turning blood red.
By this time, how could he not know what Xiaowu was doing inside.
He could no longer contain his emotions and started pounding on the door.
Yet inside, there was not even the slightest reaction, they carried on with what they were doing.
Tang San thought about leaving with a turn of his head, yet his heart still harbored a sliver of hope.
It's all fake, Xiaowu isn't supposed to be such an easy woman.
In the end, the door opened.
Tang San saw the goddess he had been longing for day and night.
Only now her clothes were disheveled, and the wrinkles on her collar were very clear.
She still carried the scent of a man on her.
Her cheeks were flushed a deep red.
"Xiaowu!"
"Who are you?" Xiaowu asked in surprise.
Seeing the unfamiliar man, she instinctively became vigilant, scrutinizing him.
Tang San forced a faint smile, "It's me, Tang San!"
"You are Tang San?" Xiaowu asked, full of doubt.
"It's me, don't you recognize me? Brother Yu has come back for you."
After confirming, Xiaowu quickly stepped backward.
"That... can you... stay away from me."
"I'm afraid Brother Yu will misunderstand."
"What?" Tang San's face turned deathly pale in an instant, his heart wrenched fiercely, shattering the last thread of fantasy.
"Is he... is he inside?"
"Were you two doing... just now?"
Xiaowu's eyes widened, her voice cold.
"Tang San, were you eavesdropping at the door?"
Tang San covered his head, shaking it in agony.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"You must be saying this to provoke me, right?"
"I don't believe you don't have me in your heart."
His eyes bloodshot, he rushed into the room with a strong stride.
He saw Luo Yu naked, getting dressed.
Tang San froze on the spot.
Eye to eye, the air was deathly still, Xiaowu followed him in...
