"Tang San, you're talking nonsense, and you have the audacity to badmouth Xu Ran in front of me," Bai Chenxiang said, pointing at Tang San's head, her chest heaving with anger and her beautiful legs trembling, unable to articulate anything else at the moment.
In her heart, Xu Ran was the best and most perfect man, incomparable to anyone else.
Xu Ran was not only powerful but also possessed noble qualities.
Xu Ran had provided shortcuts for Tang San and his companions, allowing them to behave recklessly and live like immortals in the perilous Aquipeia Forest. Yet now Tang San had the shamelessness to slander Xu Ran?
Could Tang San have any shame left?
"Cousin, you don't understand, these past few days we have been terribly trapped by Xu Ran, he's simply inhumane, subjecting us to brutal torment," Tang San hurriedly explained to Bai Chenxiang. Thinking of what they had endured over the past three days, his eyes reddened with sorrow—it was just too tragic.
He might be the most unfortunate peerless genius. Equipped with Twin Martial Souls, yet still had to suffer such torture.
This also made him firmly believe that only by going to the Martial Soul Hall would he be valued, and such tragedies could be avoided.
"Just keep making up stories," Bai Chenxiang said coldly, looking at Tang San. She was initially a bit soft-hearted, thinking that Tang San was her cousin and she had decided to forgive him. But upon hearing Tang San's insults towards Xu Ran, she completely dismissed the idea.
Such a person like Tang San was not worthy.
Xu Ran had done so much for Tang San, teaching him how to use hidden weapons and even helping him become stronger. Tang San was just a Soul Ancestor not long ago, and now he's become so powerful—this must also be Xu Ran's doing, otherwise how could Tang San cultivate so quickly?
Yet Tang San had no gratitude at all, which was simply nauseating.
"How can this be made up? We truly suffered. Teacher, isn't that right?" Tang San saw Bai Chenxiang with such a cold expression and felt heartbroken. Why did she still look like this even when he was telling the truth?
"Yes, we suffered too much," Yu Xiaogang and Titan nodded in agreement, shivering slightly with fear. But what they feared more was if Bai Chenxiang was here, could Xu Ran be here too?
Hiss, how terrifying!
That demon Xu Ran, they shouldn't have lingered here; once they were out, they should have run away immediately.
"Dong'er, Dong'er, come and save me. Otherwise, I fear I won't be able to bring you happiness in the future," Yu Xiaogang cried out in his heart, longing to see that peerless beauty in the Pope's robe. If Dong'er knew he had suffered such painful torment at the hands of Xu Ran, she would probably feel heartbroken and then take action against Xu Ran.
"You see? Look into our eyes, the deep fear within can tell you Xu Ran really is not human; he's too despicable, shameless, using such means against the three of us grown men," Tang San said excitedly, his eyes bloodshot, his hatred for Xu Ran had reached its peak.
Even if they were at fault, Xu Ran shouldn't have used such means against them.
At that moment, Tang San had completely forgotten how happy they were when they first saw the Joyous Monkey and so many soul beasts.
"Heh, three actors, no one would believe your nonsense," Bai Chenxiang said disdainfully, she no longer believed anything Tang San and his friends said. Xu Ran was her lover, her husband, her closest person; how could she not believe in Xu Ran and believe in Tang San instead?
"Cousin, I'm really suffering, why won't you believe me? Being with Xu Ran, you'll eventually be discarded by him. He's just lusting after your body, and when you're no longer young, he'll cast you aside after having his fill," Tang San gazed at Bai Chenxiang's angry face, feeling his heart shatter.
A few days ago, Bai Chenxiang was still sweetly following him, calling him cousin. At that time, he wanted to protect this sweet and lovely girl for his entire life. After all, she was his cousin and his wife, his kin through blood and marriage, possibly even closer to him than Xiaowu.
But then Xu Ran appeared, and everything changed.
His cousin, the one with twin ponytails, now belonged entirely to Xu Ran, not just her heart, but even her precious and wonderful body as well.
Originally, he was resentful towards Bai Chenxiang.
But on second thought, what did it have to do with her? She had merely been deceived by Xu Ran. Even he, who was always so cautious, had been embarrassed by Xu Ran, constantly falling into his traps.
So, for Bai Chenxiang, a simple and innocent girl, who knew nothing of Xu Ran's fearsomeness, it was normal for her to be beguiled by him.
"Xu Ran, don't rush, one day, I'll also strike back at you, not just strike at you, but I'll bring countless Titled Douluo to bombard you," Tang San roared with hatred, his voice ice-cold. A person like Xu Ran would one day face his vengeance as the Son of Destiny, and then Xu Ran would be truly finished.
"Xiaosan, I thought my kindness could lead you onto the right path, but it seems you haven't changed. A leopard can't change its spots; I guess I was wishful thinking," Xu Ran's voice appeared, lazily standing next to Bai Chenxiang, embracing her in his arms.
"Xu Ran, you're here. Just now, Tang San was insulting you, and I couldn't stand it," Bai Chenxiang complained, lying in Xu Ran's embrace, seething with anger.
She had never seen someone as shameless as Tang San before. If it weren't for her lack of strength and her inability to beat Tang San, she would have loved to teach him a lesson.
"Cousin, you've misunderstood me. I'm truly miserable. These past three days in Aquipeia Forest, life was worse than death. It's all Xu Ran's act, deliberately letting us out to make it seem like we were fine," Tang San said angrily. Now he understood everything, no wonder all the soul beasts had fled, scarcely a one in sight.
All of this was Xu Ran's performance, hiding the truth from his cousin.
How despicable Xu Ran was! Utterly shameless and despicable!
"Tang San, I didn't expect you to still be this kind of person, how heartbroken I am," Xu Ran watched Tang San with amusement, Xiaosan still so naïve and cute.
"Xu Ran, you're despicable and shameless, don't be smug, I will have my revenge one day. You set me up, I'll make you pay the price, wishing for death yet unable to die," Tang San trembled with rage, unable to help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Ran was truly shameless, hoodwinking his cousin. This way, Bai Chenxiang would like Xu Ran even more, and her disdain for him would only increase.
Ah, how could there be such a despicable person like Xu Ran in the world?
What kind of humiliation did he, the teacher, and Titan suffer in Aquipeia Forest?
So many soul beasts, each one fat and full of vigor.
Even now, he could feel the pain in his body, as if his bones were falling apart. If it weren't for the hatred he harbored to kill Xu Ran, the villain, he would have rather bitten his own tongue when facing such humiliation.
