The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 29 Xiao Wu
Two days later, Nottingham.

Zhang San stayed in a small hotel in the city, and took turns with Meng Ji to monitor Yu Xiaoang around the clock.

Both the man and the leopard have the ability to be invisible and sneak around. They come and go without a trace. With Yu Xiaogang's limited cultivation level, they naturally cannot be discovered.

If I have to say, Zhang San has no interest in Yu Xiaoang.

Although this guy's theory is full of loopholes, he is Bibi Dong's Bai Yueguang after all, so it is not appropriate to touch him at this stage.

It's just that he had just given the cockscomb holly to Bibi Dong. Given Bibi Dong's love-brained personality, she might secretly come over to give him the magic herb.

Although Zhang San was not interested in Yu Xiaogang, he was very interested in this guy's reaction after eating the magic grass.

However, two days passed, and as the school opening day approached, Zhang San still hadn't waited for Bibi Dong to arrive.

It shouldn’t be!

Inside the academy, on the rooftop opposite Yu Xiaogang's room, Zhang San remained invisible, his eyes full of confusion.

Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts might be hidden from others, but how could it be hidden from Bibi Dong?

You have to know that this guy goes to the local Wuhun Temple at a fixed time every month to punch in and receive subsidies. Zhang San secretly confirmed this as soon as he arrived in Notting City.

At the beginning of every month, punctually, it's as if I'm telling someone: I've started to receive subsidies to survive, why haven't you come to see me yet?
This is not Zhang San being mean. Whether from the plot of the original novel or Zhang San's observations over the past two days, this guy really has no ability but still wants to save face.

It's the kind of thing where: I want benefits, but I can't open my mouth, so you have to give them to me, and I have to pretend to be nice, and finally give you face and accept the benefits reluctantly, and you still owe me a favor.

For example, the plot of Tang San becoming a disciple in the original novel.

I almost forgot my own name while saying things like, "People all call me Master. Today, I will reluctantly accept you, a twin martial spirit with innate full soul power." This made Tang San feel so grateful...

To be honest, although this guy's theoretical level is not very good, his PUA is definitely above average.

Looking at the whole book, it first makes Bibi Dong, the proud girl of heaven, put aside her pride and want to travel around the world with him.

Then, he would make his cousin Liu Erlong determined to marry no one but him.

And there is a contradiction here...

If Yu Xiaogang, who came from the Blue Lightning family, couldn't recognize the homologous mutated Fire Dragon Martial Spirit, then it would be a proof that this guy's theory was rubbish and he was a fool.

But if Yu Xiaogang recognized this martial spirit of the same origin, then what exactly this guy's intentions are is very intriguing...

After that, he accepted Tang San as his disciple and used the same old tricks again.

This guy seems to have a magical power. No matter who interacts with him, they will feel that he has an unfortunate life but is extremely strong, which makes people subconsciously feel sympathy and admiration...

Although these methods seemed very crude in front of Zhang San, who was proficient in modern psychology, for young girls like Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong who were not well-versed in the world at that time, it was simply a massacre.

Counting his two lifetimes on Earth, Zhang San has only seen one person named Kozuki Oden who can fight with him twice. That guy unconditionally lowers the IQ of those around him and makes people think he is really awesome. No matter where he is awesome, he is awesome anyway...

In the past two days, Zhang San followed Yu Xiaogang wherever he went, constantly observing his pretentious life.

Aside from the dean of the academy, this guy always had a stern face no matter who he met. When people greeted him, he would just nod slightly, as if to say hello to me, "It's natural for you to say hello to me, but I don't need to respond to your attitude..."

While Yu Xiaogang was out during the day, Zhang San also checked his daily research.

Most of them are the effects of single medicinal herbs, soul beast organs and other items on different martial souls.

After taking a quick look at Yu Xiaogang's collection, Zhang San sneered in his heart.

In the entire room, apart from an illustrated book of medicinal materials and a few recipes for medicinal baths and medicinal foods, there was not a single medical book!

He guessed correctly. This guy was the kind of person who wanted to do research and build a career, but was unwilling to spend time learning knowledge and improving himself. His mind was full of thoughts about being clever and taking shortcuts.

What a waste!
Zhang San secretly despised him in his heart. Even though he was a thief, it didn't stop him from looking down on such guys.

After all, being a thief is a science. Even ordinary petty thieves who break into houses and pick locks require certain skills, not to mention a big thief like him who can easily steal hundreds of millions of foreign exchange.

And this Yu Xiaogang, who has been pondering over martial spirits for his entire life, doesn't even have a proper research direction!

It's pure trash!

This also made Zhang San completely lose interest in this guy.

Until the first day of school, Zhang San still couldn't wait for Bibi Dong, so he simply left Notting City and searched for Xiao Wu in several nearby villages.

Within the Tiandou Empire, apart from the Sunset Forest and the Tiandou Forest at the border with the Xingluo Empire, the forest coverage area in other places is actually quite large.

For example, there were small soul-hunting forests controlled by the Spirit Hall, the royal family, and local nobles. These forests intersected and overlapped with each other. Judging from the surrounding map, Xiao Wu most likely entered Notting City from the direction of Holy Soul Village, from the mountain range that Tang Hao had previously used to house the Blue Silver Emperor. Because of its low vegetation and sparse spirit beasts, that mountain range was not considered part of the Star Dou Great Forest. However, it was connected to a corner of the Star Dou Great Forest, cleverly bypassing Spirit City and reaching directly into the Heaven Dou Empire.

He focused on investigating several small villages near the Holy Soul Village. Sure enough, in a small mountain village dozens of miles away from the Holy Soul Village, Zhang San saw the 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit eating and drinking without any hesitation in the home of an elderly couple.

The little girl looked very delicate, wearing a rabbit ear hairpin, and her little hands quickly picked up food and stuffed it into her mouth.

The old couple beside her looked at her as if they were watching their own granddaughter. They watched her eat happily and told her to go to bed early and go to the city early tomorrow to apply for admission.

And in the dark forest outside the village, a dangerous aura was faintly locking onto the hut where the girl was.

Speaking of which, this scene is pretty much what Zhang San expected. In the original book, Xiao Wu didn't even have the most basic concept of money when she entered school. I guess it was her first time entering human society.

But with his innate soul power and that cute little face, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a small village with simple folk customs, pretend to be pitiful to get some food and drink, and get a status as a part-time student.

Even if someone had some bad intentions, not to mention the 100,000-year-old soul beast guarding the forest, this little girl herself is a genius with 'innate full soul power'.

Zhang San did not act rashly, but just waited quietly in the yard.

Until a night passed and the sky was bright, he heard his brother's call from the village head, and the dangerous atmosphere in the forest gradually disappeared. Zhang San then stood up and stretched, and his black hood gently slipped off, revealing his figure covered with morning dew.

"Finally left..."

Zhang San murmured, and the next moment, his figure slid smoothly through the wall and came into the house.

Looking at the little girl who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Zhang San chuckled, took out the sleeping pills and covered her mouth and nose with them, then stuffed her into the Ruyi Treasure Bag, turned around and left.

The whole process is just like eating Dove, enjoying the silky smoothness!

Back at the Notting Town Hotel, Zhang San calmly put handcuffs on the girl and tied her to a chair. He then fetched some cold water and poured it over her head!
"Ahhhh it's so cold!"

Feeling the cold, the little girl woke up with a start and found herself tied to a chair. Her heart sank.

Looking at Zhang San, the little girl saw the basin still dripping with water in his hand, and she became extremely angry!

"Asshole! Who are you? Let Sister Xiao Wu go!"

He revealed his identity right away, he's really a single-celled person...

"Xiao Wu..."

Zhang San chuckled: "Your name is Xiao Wu?"

"That's right!"

The little girl stiffened her neck and said, "My name is Xiao Wu, and my surname is Xiao Wu!"

"Auntie?"

Zhang San scoffed lightly: "Forget it, a hundred thousand year old soul beast transformed into a human form, calling itself aunt is really nothing wrong."

"you!"

Hearing Zhang San's words, Xiao Wu's pupils shrank, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "You...how did you know?"

"My mental strength is relatively strong."

Zhang San said lightly, raised his hand, and Meng Ji turned into a dagger and fell into his palm. He flipped it twice and gently pressed it against Xiao Wu's neck.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Now that I've discovered you, there are only two options for you..."

"First, I'll kill him and take his soul bone! Although a hundred thousand year soul ring is very precious, my soul ring is also worth a lot. The soft bone rabbit's soul ring is not suitable for me, but the soul bone is very suitable."

"do not want!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu shrank back, her eyes filled with fear.

"Please don't kill me, okay? I know I was wrong. Please let me go. I will never come to the human world again!"

"Let you go? I'm letting you go, a hundred thousand year old soul beast? Then what's the difference between me and the monkey watching Taoyuan?"

Zhang San scoffed softly, and under the other person's horrified gaze, he took out a cylindrical object as thick as a baby's arm...

　Here's today's update. I'm really sorry that the word count is over a thousand short. Today is my first day of quitting smoking. I've been feeling dazed since I forced myself to quit. I'm also a little confused about how to deal with Xiao Wu, and I've wasted a lot of time. But judging by the amount of people I've read over the past two days, I won't be recommended next week, so I'll just have to write a little less...
