Chapitre 281: Chapter 281: The Girls’ Envy—Su Ming Is Too Good to Dugu Bo!

This treasure trove was discovered by the old monster. I'm not like Tang San in the original story, who took it all for himself and didn't give her a single herb.

The old monster and I are now close friends despite the age gap. I couldn't bring myself to do something like that—it would weigh too heavily on my conscience.

With the old monster's current strength, it's likely that Ju Douluo (Chrysanthemum Douluo) is no longer his match. After all, Ju Douluo has been going down the wrong path with his training, overusing his potential. Unless he can find a herb suited to him, he won't be able to advance further.

Now that the old monster has grown stronger, I'm sure he'll look for a chance to fight Ju Douluo. The old monster now is nothing like before—his strength has grown, but more importantly, so has the potency of his poison.

In fact, with his current strength, the old monster could even take on Sword Douluo in a fight. If he gets a bit faster or stronger in defense, he could kite Sword Douluo around and defeat him!

Even Ning Rongrong was shocked—had Dugu Bo really become that strong?

Bibi Dong, though surprised, found it entirely plausible. Dugu Bo's poison mainly manifested as a toxic mist. If even a bit of it touched Sword Douluo, he wouldn't last long.

However, now that the old monster is a Title Douluo, his soul skills are set. If he wants to improve his speed, he'll have to rely on soul bones.

That's why I gave him a soul bone that enhances speed. Although it didn't raise his level, it certainly increased his overall strength.

Reading this, all the girls were astonished. A soul bone? Su Ming just gave it away so easily! Most of them didn't even have one yet.

Su Ming was treating Dugu Bo way too well!

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both felt a little jealous—Su Ming was being awfully nice to Dugu Bo. They didn't even have a single soul bone!

The stronger the old monster becomes, the safer I feel. After all, I've fallen out with Tang San and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I'm not worried about myself, but I fear they might target those close to me.

I can't protect everyone all the time. Having the old monster around will give me some peace of mind.

When Liu Erlong read this, she suddenly remembered—Su Ming had indeed fallen out with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Once Su Ming grew stronger and built his own power base, could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really stand up to him?

However, based on what she knew of Su Ming, he wasn't the type to drag innocents into his conflicts. Fortunately, her father hadn't been involved. Still, she thought it best to return to the clan and warn Yu Luomian not to get involved in this mess.

Liu Erlong knew she had to do two things: first, go back to the clan and warn her father, and second, make sure Su Ming knew where her loyalties lay. Even though she knew Su Ming lacked for nothing, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She hoped Su Ming would only retaliate against those who had taken part and spare the rest of the clan.

Now that I've officially severed ties with Tang San and he's no longer in Heaven Dou City, and with Tang Hao unlikely to appear anytime soon, I've decided to finally absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone that I've kept sealed for a while. I need to boost my strength too.

After this upgrade, my soul power reached 48.5, and the two soul skills I gained from the bone are perfect for me. The flight skill from the original story was replaced by one that boosts my vitality. I'd say my luck wasn't bad.

Although Tang Hao won't likely show up anytime soon, probably not until the Soul Master Tournament, I've still used a disguise talisman to alter my aura just to be safe. Better safe than sorry—I don't want trouble coming my way.

After our training, the old monster and I headed back to Heaven Dou City, but instead of returning to the academy, we decided to visit Blue Tyrant Academy.

If I remember correctly, in the original story, Tang San and his group came here. Since Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong know each other, they've probably done the same this time.

I've had my eye on that little bastard's external soul bone for a long time. I need to extract it before it fully merges with him.

Of course, that soul bone isn't useful to me, but it's perfect for the old monster and Dugu Yan. The old monster used to be wary of Tang Hao, but now that he's grown so much stronger, it's time to take on a big job!

I imagine the old monster will most likely let Dugu Yan absorb that soul bone.

Reading this, Dugu Yan's face lit up. An external soul bone? What a surprise!

Xiao Wu, however, was a bit sulky. Su Ming had already returned to Heaven Dou City but hadn't come to see her first. She missed him so much!

Liu Erlong, on the other hand, was startled. When had Su Ming arrived? She hadn't sensed him at all! Oh no, she realized, she had acted too rashly earlier. Su Ming must have noticed something was off. What should she do now?

Liu Erlong was panicking. Was there any way to fix this? System, help me!

With no other options, she turned to the system for assistance. She still needed to impress Su Ming, but it looked like she was about to blow her cover.

If she were the only one exposed, that wouldn't be a big deal, but what if the other female leads got dragged down with her? She wasn't sure if she could handle that.

The other female leads were also growing nervous. Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing weren't too worried. They'd already gained so much from Su Ming that being exposed didn't seem like a big deal.

But the other female leads, who hadn't interacted with him as much, were starting to feel a little desperate. Why did it have to be like this?

Qian Renxue was grinding her teeth in frustration.

Just then, a notification from the system appeared before all the female leads.

System Notification:

Ding! Don't panic. The system has a plan. You'll all know by midnight.

Also, a word of advice—until the last moment, even if Su Ming suspects you, don't admit to anything. You have to act innocent until the end. If you pretend to know nothing, Su Ming won't have any proof. Mwahahaha!

Seeing that the system had a solution, the girls sighed in relief, though they were still curious about what tricks the system had up its sleeve. They could only hope the system would be able to fool Su Ming again. After all, Liu Erlong's slip-up had been quite serious.

Bibi Dong, as a high-ranking figure, had a pretty good idea of what the system was planning to do.

Chapitre 282: Chapter 282: Liu Erlong: Was I Too Impulsive Before?

After the old monster and I arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy, we couldn't find any trace of Tang San and the others. We had to ask one of the academy's teachers.

We found out that Liu Erlong, for some unknown reason, kicked out Tang San and his group. Apparently, there was even a fight.

This struck me as very strange. Based on Liu Erlong's lovestruck personality, how could she possibly have thrown them out?

She should have been overjoyed at seeing Yu Xiaogang, running to embrace him!

This made me feel like this isn't just a simple parallel world anymore. It's not just power levels that have changed—I can accept that—but now, something feels really off!

Reading Su Ming's diary, Liu Erlong started to sweat a bit. Was I too impulsive before?

Liu Erlong felt a bit regretful, but at the same time, she thought there was no other choice. It was her personality, after all—fiery and vengeful. Letting Yu Xiaogang and the others stay in Blue Tyrant Academy would have made her sick.

Now, all she could do was hope the system had a solution.

Because of the urgency, the old monster and I moved on to Thunderclap Academy. We'll deal with Liu Erlong's issue later.

As I suspected, since Blue Tyrant Academy wasn't an option, Yu Xiaogang would definitely lead them to Thunderclap Academy, which is backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After that, things were simple. The old monster and I snuck into the academy and captured Tang San, bringing him into my Kamui space. We were both wearing dark night suits, so Tang San couldn't recognize us.

Kamui space? What kind of ability is that?

Xiao Wu's thoughts stirred—Kamui space, huh? Looks like Su Ming-gege was holding back a bit when he showed me his powers last time!

Those eyes of his are really incredible!

To prevent Tang San from recognizing the old monster's soul power, I used a disguise talisman on him. Since we needed a valid excuse to target Tang San, I borrowed the name of the Spirit Hall. After all, Spirit Hall and Tang Hao are already enemies—borrowing their name shouldn't be a problem.

Bibi Dong:

Qian Renxue:

Everyone else: Pfft, hahaha!

The female leads found Su Ming's actions shameless but hilarious. How is Bibi Dong going to feel about this?

Afterward, the old monster slowly applied pressure to Tang San with his soul power, forcing out his Eight Spider Lances. Then, I took my time breaking each of his eight legs one by one before pulling out the external soul bone.

I admit I felt a little cruel doing it, but Tang San's no longer on my side. You have to be ruthless with your enemies, after all.

At the end of the day, it's not me he'll hate, haha!

So, apologies to Bibi Dong—I've borrowed the Spirit Hall's name in advance. I promise I'll return the favor in the future!

Bibi Dong:

Bibi Dong read Su Ming's actions and was speechless. She didn't even know how to express just how shameless he was.

However, she understood one key sentence—"I'll return the favor in the future." This indicated that Su Ming was very likely planning to join Spirit Hall eventually, or at least he was leaning that way now.

That realization made her feel much better. Bibi Dong figured she was coming out ahead here. No matter what, Spirit Hall and Tang Hao were already enemies, and now they'd also antagonized his son. No harm done!

While tormenting Tang San, I also casually explained why Spirit Hall was after him, mentioning his father's background and strength.

I did this to speed up Tang Hao and Tang San's meeting. Now that Tang San has lost his external soul bone and his strength has decreased, once Tang Hao hears about it, he might give Tang San that ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone to boost his power.

If Tang Hao does that, it would be perfect. The sooner, the better. After all, the disguise talisman only lasts for a year. Once its effect wears off, that bone disguised as a hundred-year Blue Silver Grass soul bone will be revealed for what it is.

That's why I told Tang San about his father's identity in advance. It's not that I don't want to disguise the bone again when the time comes, but I doubt Tang Hao is foolish enough to leave it in the same place for long. With his suspicious nature, he's probably already moved it.

Ah Yin: ...

And to prevent Tang Hao from slaughtering the villagers in Holy Spirit Village after Tang San absorbs the bone and realizes something's off, I need to go back to the village with the old monster. It's been a while since I've seen Grandpa Jack anyway. After this, I'll relocate him and the villagers near Heaven Dou City where I can better protect them.

Oh, and something interesting happened—the old monster tried to sell off his granddaughter!

Dugu Yan: ???

Yeah, that old monster said he wanted to marry off Dugu Yan to me. She's a beauty, so I didn't mind, but I had to clarify a few things with him first.

I told him frankly that Dugu Yan wouldn't be my only woman. I already have Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong is halfway there. I left the decision up to him.

To my surprise, the old monster said he'd already considered it carefully. He even said he'd convince Dugu Yan himself when we returned. Well, if she's willing, I don't mind.

Dugu Yan, reading Su Ming's words, bit her lip and blushed in embarrassment. Is Grandpa really trying to marry me off like that? Though Su Ming was impressive, they hadn't known each other that long!

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, felt a sense of urgency. I've been away from Su Ming-gege for so long, and now someone else is trying to take him from me. Dugu Bo, how could you?!

Still, I remember that Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng originally had feelings for each other. After what happened, she's probably seen him for who he really is by now.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan snorted coldly. I was really blind before. In the academy, what attracted her to Yu Tianheng wasn't just his strength, but his confidence in it.

Now? After losing once in the Great Spirit Arena, he became insecure, even cowardly. He secretly informed the clan to ambush Su Ming, nearly getting her killed in the process.

Had the timing been right, she would have loved to use that one-time mind-reading card on Yu Tianheng to see if his feelings for her were genuine or if he had ulterior motives!
