Douro Continent

Chapter 560 Vast Ocean Universe Cover

The moment the azure triangle appeared, it completely bathed Tang San's room in a sea-blue hue. The soft blue light rippled so beautifully that even someone as composed as Tang San was momentarily mesmerized.

Holding the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in his hands, Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt, wondering what this thing was for. He didn't rush to channel his soul power into it, but instead carefully observed the special object with its flowing light and shadow. He cautiously released his spiritual power to probe into it.

However, just as Tang San channeled a wisp of his spiritual energy into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, he suddenly felt an indescribable force violently repel his spiritual energy. He was thrown backward, still holding the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. His mind went blank. In his last moments of consciousness, he only felt something hit his head.

If Tang San's mental strength was powerful, then the mental attribute energy fluctuations he encountered within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover were immense. It was a battle on a completely different scale. Fortunately, he had input very little mental strength during his probe. Furthermore, his own mental strength was extremely stable, aided by the Wisdom Skull of Mental Condensation; otherwise, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover's counterattack alone would have been enough to injure his soul.

The weapon that struck Tang San's head was none other than the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Its sharp tip created a small gash on Tang San's forehead. The fact that it could be broken through, given the toughness of Tang San's skin, demonstrates just how sharp the triangular tip was. Of course, when it struck Tang San, it also emitted a special blue light, rendering Tang San's defenses ineffective. This is how it successfully broke through his skin.

As blood flowed, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover spun around and flattened itself onto the wound on Tang San's forehead, as if it possessed a spirit. As Tang San's blood continued to flow into it, the originally blue aura gradually turned red.

Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone recovery skill was completely ineffective under the light of the Vast Ocean Universe Shield. The wound showed no sign of closing; blood continued to flow into it.

Not long after, a faint blue light drifted out from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, condensing into a very faint phantom image. A calm yet aged voice rang out, "I don't know how much time has passed, but I have finally found a blood that tastes good. I have also finally found a physique that can withstand the power of the Vast Ocean."

A flash of blue light, and it disappeared back into the triangular shape of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The halo on the triangular shape suddenly receded, detached from the wound on Tang San's forehead, spun around, first hitting Tang San's shoulder, then rolling down his shoulder and landing in his palm. At this moment, the triangular shape had returned to its blue color, with only a slight red glow flashing at its core.

Without the restriction of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Tang San's forehead wound healed quickly, but he remained unconscious in a deep sleep.

While unconscious, Tang San's consciousness seemed to sense something pulling at his body and soul, the immense force of which made it impossible for him to control his body.

Gradually, the suction made him weaker and weaker, as if everything around him was fading. Just then, a special power entered his heart and then slowly flowed into his brain, turning into a cool sensation that combined with his brain. Although the feeling of weakness was still there, his mind became exceptionally clear. He could not feel the outside world, but he could clearly feel the flow of blood in his meridians and even feel all the subtle changes in his internal organs.

Gradually, Tang San's consciousness remained hazy. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he regained consciousness, it was already dark outside. He was no longer alone in the room. The Shrek Six Monsters had all gathered around him. Except for Xiao Wu, who sat blankly holding his hand, the other five all looked anxious.

"Huh? Why is everyone here?" Tang San rubbed his temples and slowly sat up.

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "Xiao San, what happened to you? If you hadn't woken up, we would have had to go and ask Master and Dean Flander for help."

Oscar said, "We examined you and found that you have some deficiency of both qi and blood. What exactly happened?"

Hearing him say that, Tang San also felt somewhat weak. This feeling was similar to his condition after his right leg bone was repaired by the Blue Silver Emperor following his injury.

Tang San's gaze fell on his right hand, where he found the Vast Ocean Universe Cover lying quietly in his palm. Strangely, however, its original dazzling brilliance had vanished. Although still entirely blue, it now resembled just an ordinary gemstone.

"It was this that made me faint. I never imagined that such a small thing could contain such enormous energy." Tang San held up the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in front of everyone and briefly recounted everything that had happened after he went to the palace.

Hearing his words, Ning Rongrong said, "Then this should be a good thing. People told you to infuse it with soul power, but you insisted on infusing it with spiritual power. But, could this be related to the royal family...?"

Although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant. Dai Mubai snatched the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from Tang San's hand. "Why don't you try it and see?" As he spoke, he poured his soul power into it without hesitation.

"Mu Bai—" Tang San called out anxiously, trying to take back the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but Dai Mu Bai's soul power had already been injected into it. He knew that Dai Mu Bai was afraid of danger, so he rushed to test it.

No danger occurred, or rather, nothing happened at all.

The soul power that Dai Mubai poured into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover disappeared as if it had been thrown into the sea, but the Vast Ocean Universe Cover itself did not change at all. It only flickered with a little blue light before returning to normal without any drastic changes.

"Boss Dai, what's the discovery?" Ma Hongjun asked.

Dai Mubai scratched his head. "I didn't find anything. It's just that the soul power I poured into it is gone." His hand felt lighter, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover had returned to Tang San's hand.

A flash of anger appeared in Tang San's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Mu Bai, don't do this again."

Dai Mubai smiled slightly and said, "We're brothers, why all this nonsense?"

Seeing the smile on his face, Tang San's expression softened. He shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. "I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he carefully infused a wisp of soul power into it. Having learned from his previous experience, he was even more cautious this time, injecting only a very small amount of soul power into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Strangely enough, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which had shown no reaction when Dai Mubai infused it with soul power, changed completely in Tang San's hands. The moment Tang San injected a wisp of his soul power into it, a blue light burst forth, and the blue triangular shape seemed to come alive, its shimmering, precious light returning to the dazzling appearance it had when Tang San first obtained it. Rippling blue light spread and undulated in the room. Strange patterns appeared on its surface. Tang San could clearly feel the Vast Ocean Universe Cover's thirst for his soul power and subconsciously increased the input.

Ning Rongrong's expression changed, and she subconsciously took a step back. Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of horror, because she found that this seemingly small triangular object actually gave her a feeling of wanting to worship it.

It was a tremor emanating from her martial soul. Even with her top-tier martial soul, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she felt a sense of awe. What exactly was this thing?

Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is not only a support-type martial soul, but if you want to be more specific, it also belongs to the top-grade treasure-type martial soul. This is also an important reason why she was able to find so many top-grade ores in Gengxin City.

At this moment, the feeling she experienced from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was extremely astonishing. If the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was a tower in the world of treasures, then the Vast Ocean Universe Cover before her was a mountain that stood at the very top.

At this moment, everyone was attracted by the dazzling light emanating from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and did not notice Ning Rongrong's change.

As Tang San continued to pour his soul power into it, the blue light grew stronger and stronger. Amidst the shimmering light, the azure triangular object slowly floated up from his palm, only stopping when it reached him. And then it began to slowly rotate uncontrollably.

Just as Tang San was puzzled, he suddenly saw a sliver of crimson light within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Immediately afterward, a beam of blue light shot into his brow. Tang San felt a tremor run through his body as a massive amount of information surged into his brain via mental transmission.

The scenery before him changed, and Tang San's soul and consciousness were immersed in a wondrous world. It was an endless expanse of blue sea and sky. Beneath his feet was the surging ocean, while above him was a cloudless blue sky. That feeling of complete physical and mental clarity filled him with boundless longing. The weakness he had felt earlier vanished in that instant.

Clear information entered his mind, each piece of information crystal clear. The triangular Vast Ocean Universe Cover constantly shifted within this information, showcasing its various wondrous uses. The method of using it was thus easily imprinted into Tang San's mind, requiring no memorization and existing forever with his soul.

The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils watched the scene unfold with bated breath. As a beam of blue light entered Tang San's brow from the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, Tang San's body trembled slightly before returning to normal. But then, his entire body was enveloped in that dazzling blue light, and his body, like the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, slowly floated off the ground.

With a natural and graceful movement, Tang San raised his left hand, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover floated into his palm, spinning rapidly. With each rotation, the blue light emanating from Tang San's body intensified, with the brightest light emanating from his head, back, right leg, and right arm. These four locations were precisely where he possessed his soul bones.

Of the Shrek Six Monsters, apart from Xiao Wu who stared blankly at Tang San, the other five instinctively formed a circle around him. They could sense a strange change occurring within Tang San; although they didn't know what it was, they could sense that it wasn't harmful, but rather a beneficial change.

Rings of blue waves continuously solidified around Tang San's body, rendering everything around him blue. Blue light pulsed in Tang San's eyes, unlike the light emitted by his Purple Demon Eyes before. This light now looked crystal clear, as if it were an extension of his body.

Time passed second by second. When Tang San awoke from that wondrous world, it felt like only a moment had gone by, but the sunlight streaming through the window told him that it was already dawn. Unbeknownst to him, a whole night had passed.

His body floated silently to the ground. Looking at his companions' concerned gazes, Tang San couldn't help but sigh, "This time, the gift from the Heaven Dou Empire is far too heavy."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, what exactly is this thing for?"

Tang San picked up Xiao Wu, who was sleeping not far away from him, and said, "Come on, let's go outside and I'll show you."

Xiao Wu opened her sleepy eyes and saw that it was Tang San who was holding her. She nestled her head into his arms and then fell asleep again.

He stepped out of the wooden house and into the courtyard. A flash of blue light appeared in Tang San's eyes, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover materialized, floating in front of him and moving with him. He didn't even need to use his hands to control it.

Standing still, Tang San said, "Although I don't know why Mu Bai's infusion of soul power into it was ineffective, I should now have mastered how to use it. Calling it a divine artifact is not an exaggeration. If the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor forged by Senior Lou Gao is a divine artifact, then this thing should be the divine artifact among divine artifacts. Look."

As he spoke, the blue light in Tang San's eyes suddenly intensified, and a kind blue triangle pattern appeared between his eyebrows. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover rose into the air, reaching a height of about five meters in the blink of an eye. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, it rapidly expanded, growing a hundred times larger in an instant. With flashes of blue light, it descended from the sky, enveloping all seven Shrek Seven Devils within it.

The surroundings turned into a blue world. Yet, everything outside could still be clearly seen, as if a transparent triangular dome was enveloping everyone.

Tang San said, "This is its first and greatest use. Once it forms this shield, it's like a room that can protect us inside. At the same time, after it envelops us, we become invisible. We don't even have a physical form. It not only conceals our bodies but also completely hides our aura. With it, we can be protected in any dangerous place simply by releasing it."

As he spoke, Tang San raised his left hand and gestured, the blue light disappeared, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover returned to his grasp. Tang San waved his left hand again, and it flew out again, heading towards Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai suddenly sensed an inexplicable danger and instinctively retreated rapidly. However, he only saw a flash of blue light before his eyes, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover suddenly expanded, enveloping his body. But this time, it wasn't as large as before; the space within it only covered his body. To Dai Mubai's even greater surprise, his body was completely immobilized within it.

A flash of blue light appeared, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover retracted once more. This time, it transformed into a beam of blue light and disappeared from Tang San's forehead, disappearing into his brow.

"This is its second function. The first skill is called the Vast Ocean Protective Shield, the second is called the Universe Stabilizing Shield, the third is called the Vast Ocean Raging Waves, and the fourth is called the Universe Demon-Slaying Shield. They are all used for attack. I can feel that this thing is very powerful. Moreover, its power is directly proportional to my soul power. Among them, the Vast Ocean Protective Shield consumes the least soul power. It only requires 10% of my soul power to maintain for twelve hours. Unless the enemy can find it and break through its defense, they cannot harm us. The Universe Stabilizing Shield can be calculated based on the opponent's mental power." It can immobilize anyone with less than three times my mental strength, but it cannot harm the opponent. However, we can take the opportunity to leave, even if we are thousands of miles away, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover can bring us back to my side. As for the power of those two attack skills, I can't say for sure how powerful they are, but they should not be weak. Because each attack requires me to use all my soul power. But strangely, no matter how much soul power I have, I can unleash its attack, and it will absorb all my soul power. It's just that the power of the attack will change accordingly. Vast Ocean Raging Waves is a group attack skill, while Universe Breaking Demon is a single-target attack skill.

After listening to Tang San's detailed explanation, Dai Mubai couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! The Heaven Dou Empire actually has something this good. If this thing is considered a soul tool, it's definitely a divine artifact. With this, wouldn't we be able to protect ourselves anywhere?"

Tang San said, "Even the best things have their limits. However, with this, at least we won't need to leave anyone to patrol when we rest in the wild. But since everyone has been up all night, I don't think we can leave today. Let's set off tomorrow instead."

Dai Mubai said, "It's alright, let's leave today. Don't delay. Master has found us a large carriage; we can all rest there. We're all Soul Masters, do we really need a little rest?"

Everyone nodded slightly, seemingly eager to see what was happening.

Tang San completely understood everyone's feelings at this moment. The battle with Sword Douluo, and the insights they gained under pressure, made them deeply realize the importance of combat and pressure in improving their strength. Now, with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the danger of their trip to Seagod Island was greatly reduced.

"Okay, let's set off now."

The carriages had been prepared for them by the Grandmaster beforehand. Those who came to see them off included not only the teachers from Shrek Academy, but also Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the elders of the Tang Sect, all of whom the Grandmaster had invited. He personally escorted the Shrek Seven Devils and Bai Chenxiang onto the carriages. All the necessary items were packed into their soul tools.

Before their departure, there was inevitably a moment of reluctant farewell. Even the master gave Tang San repeated instructions. And almost everyone's advice to them was to prioritize their safety.

Parting is always sad, especially this trip which would last for an unknown period. Bai Chenxiang cried for a long time in her grandfather's arms before Bai He finally brought her to Ma Hongjun, instructing him to protect her well. Ma Hongjun solemnly agreed. At this moment, Bai Chenxiang couldn't even argue with him and her grandfather. This was the first time she had ever traveled so far from home. Although she had been extremely excited beforehand, the thought of leaving now filled her with sadness.

Ning Rongrong also shed tears. Looking at her father's graying hair, she finally managed to get into the carriage after being comforted by Ning Fengzhi.

The carriage was pulled by four strong horses, and Ning Fengzhi specially assigned one of his disciples as the driver to drive the carriage towards the outside of Tiandou City.

As the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed slightly, and everyone's hearts seemed to depart with the Shrek Seven Devils.

Soon, the carriage left the west gate of Heaven Dou City and headed west along the official road. Grandmaster drew Tang San a detailed map. They needed to travel by carriage to the western edge of the continent, to the sea within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory, and then transfer to a ship to reach their destination. The journey was extremely long. According to Grandmaster's calculations, it would take them about two months to arrive.

The carriage was spacious enough to comfortably seat a dozen or so people. Last night, everyone except Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang hadn't rested. As the sorrow of parting gradually faded, weariness crept in.

Dai Mubai fell asleep in the inner corner, with Zhu Zhuqing nestled in his arms. Tang San held Xiao Wu, letting her head rest on his shoulder, and also fell asleep.

Ning Rongrong held Oscar's arm, resting her head on his shoulder. Of the three couples, they were the least intimate. Oscar sat there obediently, dozing off against Ning Rongrong's head.

In the carriage, Bai Chenxiang was the only one unable to sleep. Her mind was racing with thoughts. It was her first time away from home; the unease of being away from family, the longing for her loved ones, a mix of nervousness and overwhelming excitement. She had slept well last night. How could she possibly fall asleep now? She sat there, lost in thought.

However, just because she can't sleep doesn't mean that the person next to her can't sleep either.

Everyone else slept quietly, but when this enormous fellow fell asleep, he unconsciously began to snore. At first, Bai Chenxiang could barely tolerate it. But the snoring grew louder and louder. His plump body swayed slightly with the carriage's movement, occasionally leaning towards her.

Bai Chenxiang nudged the fat man, pushing away his head that was about to rest on her shoulder. But a moment later, amidst thunderous snoring, he leaned back in.

Bai Chenxiang had considered changing seats, but although the carriage was large, there was no room left. There were two rows of wide seats on either side of the carriage. Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar were on one side. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both half-reclining on their seats, taking up most of the space. On their side, Xiao Wu's long legs were draped over the large chair, taking up a lot of space, and the fat man was sitting rather awkwardly. If Bai Chenxiang wanted to change seats, she would have to move to the other side.

Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was it right or wrong for her to go out with the Shrek Seven Devils this time? Everyone else was in pairs, and the only single one was this lecherous fat guy. It wasn't that she hadn't considered whether she could develop feelings for the fat guy. After all, her grandfather had already agreed to his marriage proposal. Bai Chenxiang listened to Bai He the most in the family.

However, whenever she saw the fat man's body, she felt no desire for him at all. Hearing his snoring now only amplified her disgust.

Just then, with a thud, the carriage seemed to have run over a small stone, and the whole carriage jolted. Everyone else was leaning against each other, so it didn't bother them. But Ma Hongjun, who was already fast asleep, was sitting in a position where he wasn't leaning against either side. With this jolt, his large body immediately pressed against Bai Chenxiang.

"You..." Bai Chenxiang supported the fat man's body with all her might. She dared not raise her voice so as not to disturb others. She could only support the fat man's body while urging him to get up quickly.

Bai Chenxiang is a pure agility-type Soul Master. As such, aside from speed and flight ability, she's no different from any other ordinary girl. Ma Hongjun, however, already weighs over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg), and with the carriage's jolting, she's barely able to keep up. She can't dodge either; if she does, Ma Hongjun will fall and land right on Xiao Wu's leg.

What should I do? Bai Chenxiang was getting anxious. Just then, she saw Ma Hongjun's chubby arm waving in front of her. On a whim, she took a bite through his clothes.

Ma Hongjun winced in pain, instantly shivering and waking from his deep sleep. Seeing Bai Chenxiang nudging him, he immediately understood what was happening. He quickly sat up straight and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Bai Chenxiang's eyebrows shot up, and she pinched the fat man's waist hard with her hand. Of course, not a handful, but just a small piece of flesh pinched with her fingernail and then rotated it 360 degrees.

The fat man suddenly cried out in pain, about to scream, but Bai Chenxiang was startled and quickly covered his mouth with her hand, preventing him from making a sound.

Only when the fat man's complexion gradually returned to normal did she release her grip, pat her ample bosom, and give the fat man a reproachful glare.

Undoubtedly, Bai Chenxiang was very beautiful, and her reproachful expression made her even more adorable. The warmth of her small hand still lingered on the fat man's face and lips. Almost instinctively, he made a somewhat lewd gesture, licking his lips with his tongue.

Bai Chenxiang stared blankly for a moment. She suddenly felt like a lamb in front of a big lecherous wolf. She knew Ma Hongjun's strength very well. Could it be that this fat man was going to...

Thinking of this, she quickly moved closer to Xiao Wu, looking at Ma Hongjun with some fear.

Ma Hongjun was taken aback by her expression. He touched his round, chubby face, thinking, "Am I really that scary?" A pang of pain shot through him; Bai Chenxiang's terrified expression had wounded his pride. A faint chill flashed in his eyes. He stopped looking at Bai Chenxiang, moved to a corner on the other side of the carriage, leaned against it, and closed his eyes again. He thought to himself, "What's so great about her? I'm just a little fat and a little ugly. If she doesn't want to be with me, so be it. I won't pursue her anymore. Third Brother is right, forced love is never sweet. I refuse to believe I can't find a pretty girl in the future."

Seeing the fat man lean against the other side and fall asleep, leaving her plenty of space, Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. But what was that expression on his face just now? She'd never seen him look at her like that before! Looking at the fat man's body leaning there, Bai Chenxiang felt a little uneasy.

In order to reach their destination as quickly as possible, the group did not rest in the cities they passed through. They only rested for a while when the horses were tired, and camped in the wild.

As night fell, the Shrek Seven Devils awoke from their slumber. They didn't plan to travel at night. After all, the bumpy ride in the carriage would make cultivation much less effective. Their daily nightly training was essential, and the horses also needed ample rest.

Tang San retrieved water and food from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. It was autumn, and the weather was already a bit chilly. Dai Mubai used his tiger claws to chop up a large pile of firewood in no time. Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames swept across, and a campfire was formed.

The girls took out their kettles and heated water over the campfire while also drying their rations. Everyone then sat in a circle around the fire.

Tang San quickly noticed that Ma Hongjun was acting strangely. In the past, he would have sat down next to Bai Chenxiang without hesitation, but this time he sat on the other side of him and didn't even look at Bai Chenxiang, staring blankly at the campfire.

Tang San nudged the fat man lightly with his arm and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Why are you leaving Xiangxiang sitting alone? Aren't you going to keep her company?"

Ma Hongjun pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said indifferently, "They treat me like a monster, why should I bother to annoy them? From now on, she's her, and I'm me. Fatty may have thick skin, but there's a limit. I won't bother them anymore."

Tang San was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Fatty and Bai Chenxiang had somehow fallen out. Fatty's words were clearly full of resentment.

Although Ma Hongjun's voice wasn't loud, everyone present, except for Bai Chenxiang and Xiao Wu who had lost her soul, was a Soul Emperor-level expert, so they could hear him clearly.

Ning Rongrong chuckled, while Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun with some sympathy. Wasn't he just like himself back then?

Dai Mubai frowned, looked up at Bai Chenxiang, as if about to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing quickly stopped him. Zhu Zhuqing knew what Dai Mubai wanted to say without asking. As the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, he was very protective of his brothers. Don't be fooled by his usual jokes with Fatty; if Fatty were in real trouble, he, as the eldest brother, would never hesitate. Fatty was in a bad mood right now, and if he were allowed to speak, he might say things like, "Who do you think you are? What's wrong with our Fatty?" That's why Zhu Zhuqing quickly stopped him.

As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis. Although Dai Mubai was powerful, Zhu Zhuqing was able to restrain him perfectly. After whispering a few words in his ear, Dai Mubai's expression softened.

Tang San, unlike Dai Mubai, wouldn't act impulsively. He patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Getting discouraged so quickly? That's not like you!"

At this moment, Oscar also came over, sat down on the other side of the fat man, handed him one of his recovery sausages, and said, "Fatty, we just left the house, why are you two already arguing?"

The fat man, in a fit of rage, bit off half of the sausage Oscar offered, sending a chill down Oscar's spine. "Damn it, what did my sausage ever do to you?!"

Ma Hongjun said with a wry smile, "Alright, you don't need to say anything. I've thought it through myself. Anyway, I'm a brothel pimp. When we get to the next city, I'm going to let loose. Xiao Ao, do you think I'm stupid? Why am I pretending to be such a gentleman for no reason!"

"Uh..." Oscar was speechless. Normally, he would have already teased Fatty, but seeing his depressed expression, he couldn't bring himself to say anything. He looked up at Tang San, who smiled and shook his head. Although Tang San didn't know much about matters of the heart, he possessed an unusual level of observation. From Ma Hongjun's actions, he could clearly sense that Fatty had truly fallen for Bai Chenxiang, not just driven by lust. His current state was likely due to his insecurity and anxiety.

When it comes to matters of the heart, what others say is irrelevant; it all comes down to their own feelings.
