"My Xiao Wu… my Wu Ling… my… damn it!!!"
Tang Chuan dropped to his knees.
His black eyes were bloodshot, veins swelling as if they were about to burst. His entire body trembled, unable to process what he had just seen.
That scene…
That relationship…
It shattered everything he believed.
"Big brother, are you okay?!"
Tang San rushed forward, trying to help him up.
"Stay away from me! I want to be alone!"
Tang Chuan roared, violently pushing him aside.
His voice echoed loudly through the room, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding students.
"Brother, get up already!" Tang San said anxiously. He couldn't understand why his brother had become so unreasonable lately.
"I said get lost! I want to be alone!"
Tang Chuan was on the verge of exploding.
"Not that! You're blocking the door! No one can get out!"
Silence.
Complete silence filled the room.
Tang Chuan froze.
It felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
All that built-up anger…
Gone.
Instantly extinguished.
"Hey, Tang Chuan! Even if you're the boss, you can't block the door! And there's no girl named 'Jingjing' in our academy either!"
The students, who had long been dissatisfied with his tyrannical attitude, finally spoke up.
"You want to 'be alone'? Then go somewhere else! Why block us?! We still need to eat!"
The pressure that had been building for days finally erupted.
No one liked him.
No one respected him.
They were just afraid of him.
"You bunch of— mmph!"
Before Tang Chuan could lash out, Tang San quickly covered his mouth and dragged him aside.
He knew very well—if this escalated, things would get ugly fast.
Once everyone left, Tang San finally released him.
"Tang San! What the hell were you doing just now?! We're brothers!"
Tang Chuan glared at him, fury burning in his eyes.
"…Brother, you've changed. You weren't like this back in Holy Soul Village…"
Tang San sighed.
He had once suspected that Tang Chuan tricked him into absorbing that 99-year spirit ring.
But after seeing his brother take a barely-over-100-year ring himself…
He thought he had misunderstood him.
Now?
He wasn't so sure anymore.
"You don't understand… you don't understand anything…"
A single tear rolled down Tang Chuan's face.
A red tear.
Yes—
He cried.
A reincarnated God King…
Crying.
Someone had stolen his past wife right in front of him.
Someone had taken away his current "wife" right before his eyes.
And the worst part?
It was the same person.
He had sacrificed everything—even his life—to return to the beginning…
Only to find her already taken.
Right in front of him.
When he was at his weakest.
"Brother… don't tell me…"
Tang San hesitated.
But in the end, he said it.
"…you like Teacher Xiao Wu?"
That sentence—
Snapped something inside Tang Chuan.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?! WHY!!!"
"I… I… NOOOOO!!!"
His roar echoed into the sky.
As if responding to his despair—
Thunder roared.
Rain poured down.
The heavens themselves seemed to mourn with him.
Rain drenched his body.
He cried.
He screamed.
He collapsed.
In the end—
Tang Chuan fainted in the storm.
Like a dead dog.
And was dragged back by Tang San.
Meanwhile…
Inside a luxurious villa in the southwest of Notting City.
Warm lights.
Soft sofa.
Rain tapping gently against the window.
A completely different world.
Xiao Wu sat comfortably with Wu Ling in her arms, watching the rain outside.
Fu Ye was in the kitchen, calmly preparing food.
"Master… is that Tang Chuan guy sick or something? His eyes were completely red… it was scary…"
Wu Ling shivered slightly.
"Hmm… I don't know either," Xiao Wu replied lazily, pulling her closer."But later you can ask your Shifu-gong."
"Ask Shifu-gong…?"
Wu Ling glanced toward the kitchen.
"He's really gentle… but… his aura is kind of scary…"
Xiao Wu giggled.
"Don't worry. Once you get used to him, you won't feel that anymore. He's actually very kind."
She remembered…
Sixteen years ago.
When she was still just a rabbit.
She had tried to sneak attack Fu Ye.
And got scared stiff just by his presence.
But now?
Things were different.
She was human now.
And this time—
She would rise from "pet"…
To "wife."
"Okay… I'll ask him later…"
Wu Ling nodded, then suddenly looked at Xiao Wu.
"Master… your figure is amazing… Shifu-gong is really lucky to have you as his partner…"
"Eh?!"
Xiao Wu puffed her chest proudly.
"That's because your master is naturally beautiful! You'll grow up just as pretty~"
"Hehe… no matter what, Master is the most beautiful in my eyes!"
In the kitchen—
Fu Ye smiled faintly.
Listening to the girls chatting.
Peaceful.
Warm.
Comfortable.
As for Tang Chuan…
Why was he crying like that?
He had no idea.
And honestly he didn't care.
