"Xiao Wu!" Tang San couldn't help but shout when he found Xiao Wu in the forest.

Standing on a tree branch in the distance, leaning against the trunk with her back to Tang San, Xiao Wu paused slightly upon hearing this, then said in a deep voice, "Brother San, don't come any closer."

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you!" Tang San asked anxiously upon hearing this. He could only stand there and look at Xiao Wu's back from afar.

"Shall we go back together? I'll protect you!"

"Brother San." Xiao Wu turned her back to Tang San, looked up at the starry sky, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"You can't protect me because I lied to you. I'm not human; I'm actually a spirit beast."

Cold tears streamed down Xiao Wu's cheeks. She decided to stop deceiving Tang San. It seemed that Tang San was the only one who was kept in the dark; almost everyone else had guessed her identity. There was no point in continuing to hide it.

"Huh?!" Tang San was shocked, staring blankly at Xiao Wu's retreating figure.

"Besides, you can't protect me. I have Erming to protect me," Xiaowu said, her voice trembling.

Then, a Titan ape the size of a small mountain emerged from the shadows, picking its nose with its finger while letting out a disdainful snort at Tang San, who was visibly shocked in the distance.

The Titan Ape lifted Xiao Wu onto its shoulder, then cast a disdainful and arrogant glance at Tang San, before haughtily leading Xiao Wu deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother San, I don't want to hide it from you. So I've told you everything. I hope you take care," Xiao Wu said, tears streaming down her face, before getting into the Titan Ape luxury car, leaving the poor boy Tang San kneeling on the spot, burying his face in his hands and sobbing.

"Xiao Wu!!! No!!!"

Its voice was mournful, enough to break one's heart and bring tears to one's eyes. At the same time, with a soft "plop," eight long hairs, resembling spider legs, pierced through his clothes from his back, revealing his fair skin and enveloping him!

But who would have thought that the seemingly poor and stingy Tang San actually possessed a war god, the Dragon King? It's a bit of a crossover.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this scene is a little out of place, it feels a bit like an urban fantasy drama."

Chen Hong slowly approached from the distant forest, followed by Ning Quan, who looked completely bewildered.

"Why do I find it so touching? The childhood sweetheart chose to stay away for her childhood friend's safety and bear the burden alone. Why does it sound so strange coming from your mouth?" Ning Quan still wanted to argue.

Chen Hong slowly walked to Tang San, who was kneeling on the ground, covering his face and weeping. He picked up a twig from the ground and gently poked the eight spider legs that suddenly appeared on Tang San's back.

External Soul Bone: Eight Spider Lances!

Hiss!

The leaves at the top of the tree branch, upon contact with Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, seemed to have encountered some highly corrosive poison, and the leaves quickly rotted and disappeared.

"That's because you haven't seen enough, Uncle. If you saw more, you'd realize that the Titan Ape is like a much more powerful prodigy, while Tang San is just a wild boy who hasn't fully developed. Now, the powerful prodigy has taken away the wild boy's childhood sweetheart, and before leaving, he even gave the wild boy a disdainful look. Isn't this the perfect plot of a wish-fulfillment novel? If at this moment, the wild boy were to say something like, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't underestimate the poor youth, don't underestimate the poor middle-aged, don't underestimate the poor old age; the dead are the greatest, may you be reborn in the next life...' Tsk tsk tsk, what a vicious tentacle monster!"

While Chen Hong was poking Tang San, who was lying on the ground and crying with his face covered, he kept muttering to himself.

Ning Quan: "???"

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows: "???"

Ning Quan frowned and said, "Your 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential' had some merit, but what the hell was that next?"

"Hehe." Chen Hong chuckled and continued to poke Tang San's head, who was lost in grief, with the twig. Finding that the twig was not corroded, he said cheerfully, "The spider spear is highly poisonous, but not on your head. Although you don't use your head much usually, a wooden head always sounds better than a poisonous wooden head."

"Xiao Wu... Waaah!" Tang San lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face, her whole body trembling.

"Speaking of which, if Xiao Wu is a transformed soul beast, then... a 100,000-year-old soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu would be considered childhood sweethearts, right?" Chen Hong suddenly remembered this question, his expression somewhat strange. "Thinking about it this way, this script seems even more ahead of its time. Like, a rich young mistress impulsively runs away from home, encounters a poor boy, only to have the rich young master arrive, carrying the rich young mistress, trampling the poor boy underfoot, and arrogantly returning to continue living her beautiful little life."

"And how could they know that the poor boy they trampled underfoot was actually a once-in-a-century genius, destined to become a powerful figure in the future? In fact, this poor boy's background is no less impressive than that of the rich and weak. When the time is right, the poor boy will rise to prominence and, with a smirk, he will surely slap those who once bullied him in the face. Hmm! Great script! Great script!" Chen Hong was very satisfied with the script he had improvised, so much so that he couldn't help but clap his hands.

Ning Quan stared at Chen Hong in disbelief, wondering if this guy had lost his mind.

However, just as Ning Quan was about to stop Chen Hong from continuing his nonsense, Tang San, who had been lying on the ground immersed in grief, was finally provoked by Chen Hong!

Tang San roared, "Ah!!! Shut up!!! You're so annoying!!!"

Swish!

Tang San's eight spider spears instinctively snapped back, the sharp spears severing the branch Chen Hong was using to poke him. Tang San then sprang forward, aiming for Chen Hong's chest. He still retained a shred of rationality; Chen Hong had just mentioned that his eight spider spears were highly poisonous, so he didn't use them directly. Instead, he intended to silence Chen Hong, who had been incessantly chattering in his ear like a mosquito, with his hand.

With a faint smile on his lips and a strange light flashing in his eyes, Chen Hong nimbly dodged Tang San's angry attack with a few quick steps.

As Chen Hong retreated and dodged, he smiled and said, "So even a poor kid like you knows how to be angry. I thought you were just a crybaby, like a woman."

"." After missing his target, Tang San regained his senses and made no other move. He simply stood there, glaring angrily at Chen Hong with tears streaming down his face.

"Hehe, alright, we can go back to the academy now. We have one more research specimen."

Chen Hong glanced at the furious Tang San, smiled slightly, and then turned and walked back the way he came.
