Chapter 35: Tang San Is Devoted? Bullshit! Look at What He Did!
[Of course, all of this can be explained by saying Xiao Wu is an idiot and she simply couldn't think that far!]
[You could say this girl Xiao Wu had already figured out how to cover up obtaining a soul ring, yet somehow couldn't think about caring whether Tang San lived or died!]
[But from Tang San's perspective, it's not like he loved her that deeply either. He shouted that even if he died, he would save Xiao Wu first!]
[And what actually happened? When the Titan Giant Ape took her away, why didn't you, Tang San, fulfill your promise that "to harm Xiao Wu, they must step over my corpse first"?]
[And later, when you went to chase the Titan Giant Ape, you encountered a Man-Faced Demon Spider. Why are you fighting it?]
[Your Xiao Wu has been captured and could die, yet when you encounter a Man-Faced Demon Spider, you start battling it?]
[Fine, you can say the Man-Faced Demon Spider came at you first, that you couldn't escape and had to kill it—that's reasonable!]
[But after killing it, you even needed to recover your injuries first? Do you know how long that takes?]
[Alright, you recover from your injuries, and during that time, you run into Meng Yiran and the others. And you're still chatting with them, explaining things at length!]
[Sure, you could say explaining and talking is normal. After all, you need to survive, and they don't have a good impression of you. That's also reasonable.]
[But then, Zhao Wuji and the others arrive. They can temporarily help you hold off the Dragon Serpent Couple, yet you still agree to compete with Meng Yiran in hidden weapons?]
[Seriously, Tang San? Just because someone wants to compete, you have to agree? Aren't you supposed to go save Xiao Wu? Don't you want your Xiao Wu anymore?]
[You say if you didn't agree to the competition, the Dragon Serpent Couple wouldn't leave? Bullshit! The original work clearly states they were about to leave anyway. It was Meng Yiran who insisted on the competition!]
[The Dragon Serpent Couple hadn't even agreed yet, and you already accepted? Preparing to waste a bunch of time competing with Meng Yiran?]
[Fine, fine. After the competition, you should finally go save Xiao Wu, right?]
[No! I still need to flirt! I still need to give Meng Yiran flying needles, teach her hidden weapon techniques, and flirt with her for a while!]
[Only after the Dragon Serpent Couple finally left with Meng Yiran, and now you've recovered some soul power, can you go save Xiao Wu, right?]
[No! Such a good soul ring from the Man-Faced Demon Spider—can it be wasted? Compared to Xiao Wu's life, does it matter less than a soul ring?]
[Tang San's choice was: don't rush, absorb the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring first. It might take over ten minutes, maybe an hour. Absorb it first.]
[By the time you finish absorbing it, Xiao Wu would have already been chopped into minced meat and eaten, right?]
[If Xiao Wu herself weren't immune to harm, replace her with an ordinary Soul Master. After all the delays you caused, would an ordinary Soul Master still be alive under a Soul Beast?]
[Some of these delays were unavoidable. But some were choices Tang San made himself! The competition and absorbing the soul ring weren't forced on you, were they?]
[That foolish woman Xiao Wu still thinks Tang San cares deeply about her!]
[Thinking about it carefully, she's not even as important as a Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring.]
[Of course, Tang San's die-hard fans might say, "Oh, he wanted to absorb the soul ring first to have a better chance of saving her~."]
[Bullshit! A better chance of saving her? After delaying this long, a better chance to collect her corpse, more like it?!]
[Xiao Wu might not know, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were right there watching, yet they still thought Tang San showed his feelings for Xiao Wu in this situation.]
[Damn! You call this love? Are all the women in Shrek blind and brainless?!]
[Is Shrek so poor they rented out their brains and can't afford to redeem them?!]
At this point, even Song Ye felt disgusted writing this.
So many people take this part of the story and say Tang San truly loved Xiao Wu.
Fine, even if it's true love, then immediately agreeing to compete, teaching Meng Yiran hidden weapon techniques afterward, and then actively choosing to absorb a soul ring.
None of these is fake, right?
These were all Tang San's own choices, right? His own subjective decisions?
His woman had been taken, and even a few seconds of delay could mean life or death. Yet in such a situation, he chose to flirt first and absorb a soul ring first.
Fine, fine. If this is called love, then this love is truly "pure"!
And the other viewers, after seeing such sharp commentary, were all stunned.
They roughly knew the plot—that Xiao Wu was taken by the Titan Giant Ape and Tang San went to save her.
But who would have thought that saving someone could involve so many delays?
All the women watching felt nauseated!
[Bibi Dong]: As expected of the hypocritical Tang family! Talking about love, yet still thinking about showing off in front of other women! When encountering the Dragon Serpent Couple, couldn't you have had Zhao Wuji hold them off while you went to save her yourself?
[Demon Fox]: Exactly, what a disgusting man! Constantly saying he'll bring Xiao Wu back, yet always choosing to waste time!
[I Am An Orphan]: Because in reality, this man saw how good the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring was and forgot all about Xiao Wu, the Soul Beast.
[Yan Yan is Proud]: So disgusting! Thinking about it, with all those delays, if she were an ordinary woman, she would've already been eaten by a Soul Beast. And he's still absorbing a soul ring?"
[Bingbing is Polite]: The time required to absorb a soul ring depends on its difficulty. If it's particularly difficult but manageable, it could even take one to two hours.
[Bingbing is Polite]: Tang San clearly knew the strength and difficulty of absorbing the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring, yet still chose to absorb it, knowing it would delay him even longer. This shows that his love isn't as pure as he claims.
[Hot Girl]: Hey, didn't the light screen earlier say Tang San promised that anyone wanting to harm Xiao Wu would have to step over his corpse, but it never came true? This is the first time, right? How many more times do you think there will be?
[Demon Fox]: At least two or three more times. Men like this, so hypocritical, are the best at deceiving women… they sound nice but always let the woman get hurt first!
[Bibi Dong]: This is Yu Xiaogang's disciple. This is a Tang family member!
[Sea God's Most Loyal Believer]: Why is everyone in the Tang family like this… could it be even that person as well? Sigh… I hope this is only the nature of some members of the Tang family.
One by one, the female characters discussed it, all seeing clearly that Tang San didn't love Xiao Wu as much as he claimed.
Even if he had feelings, even if Xiao Wu was the woman he loved most, it still couldn't surpass his own interests.
Loving oneself and loving another person aren't mutually exclusive.
Tang San was likely that kind of person. He did love Xiao Wu, but his own interests mattered more.
Looking at the sharp commentary on the light screen and hearing the discussions, Xiao Wu also roughly understood this truth.
It wasn't that Tang San didn't love her, but that he loved his own interests more…
