In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 21 Brother Tao, she's keeping you hanging on.

"Would you like to take two slaps?" Zhu Wu was speechless, but still nodded.

"OK."

Consider this your farewell meal and your final meal before you die. How about some spicy rabbit head?

"Then go wash up quickly," Xiao Wu urged with a smile, then turned over and continued lying in bed.

Zhu Wu didn't say anything more and strode towards the bathroom.

Before long, they left the dormitory, had lunch in the academy cafeteria, and rushed to the Spirit Hall in Notting City as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the person who came was a child and was wearing the Notting Academy uniform, the gatekeeper had some guesses in his mind. He just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention until Zhu Wu took the initiative to come up to him and politely asked, "Big brother, hello, I'm here to test my soul power to become a certified soul master."

A certified Soul Master? He's so young and already broken through level 10 and obtained a Soul Ring? Wasn't he here to deliver a message or something?

The doorman was taken aback and looked her up and down. She was fair-skinned and cute, and spoke politely. "Could she be from some big family?" he thought, and his tone became noticeably more friendly. "Little sister, please come in quickly. Master Matthew, who is in charge of the evaluation, is in the reception hall on the first floor."

Zhu Wu was slightly frustrated, but he didn't want to explain further.

"Thank you, big brother." He bowed slightly, turned around, and ran into the gate.

A quick glance around the hall revealed a young couple standing in a corner not far away, and I could hear their voices.

"Yun Tao, you don't want us to have nowhere to live when we have children, do you? Besides, we are Soul Masters. It would be so shameful for the descendants of Soul Masters to live in a remote rural area. They would probably be ridiculed by their classmates when they enter the academy."

"Okay, I'll agree to marry you once you buy a house in the upscale neighborhood of Nottingham."

"Also, the house has to be registered in my name. It's not that I'm after your house, but as a girl marrying into your family, I should have some security. Also, you need to prepare a dowry of 500 gold soul coins. My parents have raised me for so many years, and it hasn't been easy for them. As their daughter, I should leave them some retirement savings. My younger brother doesn't have any soul power, so as his older sister, I also need to think about him."

Zhu Wu was stunned.

This excuse sounds so familiar.

I couldn't help but think about why I came into this world.

Although my family owned a pig farm in my previous life, we were unlucky and happened to be caught in a sudden outbreak of viral influenza in the country. Due to the lockdown and other factors, our products were directly unsaleable.

To cut losses in time, I had no choice but to sell them to the higher-ups at a fair price, and incidentally send a few to the surrounding areas to accumulate merit.

There's nothing I can do; my dad believes in this.

Then, pork was in short supply, and buying it yourself was really expensive!

Perhaps because they hadn't been out for so long, their parents were bored out of their minds. I don't know which distant relative they contacted, but as soon as the lockdown ended, they told him they'd found someone they liked and wanted him to talk to her so they could try to get married this year. A happy occasion is a good way to ward off bad luck.

He didn't believe in such superstitions, but out of consideration for his parents, he had no choice but to go and see them.

I have to say, that girl was really pretty.

The key is that his tea-making skills are truly high! With a few sweet words, he, who considered himself shrewd, was completely manipulated.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, the truth is that he's usually busy with his career and only has time to open his folders at night, moving slowly with his left and right hands. He has never actually subdued a female demon, so his practical experience is indeed a bit shallow.

Soon, the two families got engaged. Then came the predictable scene of buying a house, a car, and a dowry of 30 yuan – a flurry of activity. Then, one day, the woman claimed she had urgent business and went back to her hometown. After that, he couldn't be contacted at all, and he was ruthlessly blacklisted.

"Son, did you two have a fight?" At first, Mom and Dad thought it was him who made the girl angry.

After that, the truth came out, and the two sides ended up in court.

"The funds transferred during the relationship were gifts, and the purchased property, having already been registered under the other party's name, is joint property and needs to be divided." He still clearly remembers the moment the judgment was handed down, and the other party's contemptuous look, as if to say, "You disagree? Come and hit me if you disagree!"

His mother wept uncontrollably, while his father sighed repeatedly. Their life savings were gone just like that; naturally, they were heartbroken.

As for him, as a descendant of the Zhu family, he naturally could not tolerate it.

Ha, he certainly wouldn't hit someone, and he's too lazy to argue or cause trouble; he's never liked trouble.

So, after finding out the exact address, I strapped on the homemade gadgets I made back in my hometown and waited patiently for the New Year.

With a loud bang, her entire family was sent to heaven!

Of course, that includes himself.

Simps never get a good death!

So, Brother Tao, promise me you won't be a simp anymore, okay? Looking at Su Yuntao's miserable face in front of him, Zhu Wu felt a deep sense of sympathy. Just from the conversation, he knew that this Sisi was also a master of teasing.

Tao is clearly being manipulated.

"Big brother, it's you." She called out as she walked forward.

Su Yuntao subconsciously turned his head, his eyes momentarily dazed. This looked just like Bai Jin'er when she was a child, just as he remembered her.

"Little friend, who are you?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Big brother, it's me! The one from Holy Soul Village who awakened the Silkworm Martial Soul," Zhu Wu explained with a smile.

"I just returned from the beginner Soul Hunting Forest today after obtaining my first Soul Ring. My teacher asked me to come here to test my Soul Power and register as a true Soul Master."

"What? You've obtained your first spirit ring?" Su Yuntao exclaimed in surprise. "So fast?"

"Yun Tao, aren't you going to introduce me?" Sisi, standing to the side, felt ignored and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao quickly turned around and introduced the situation in a flattering manner.

"Sisi, this is the one I told you about before who awakened the innate level 6 soul power silkworm martial soul. Sisi, this child awakened under my care, so please wait here for me. I'll take him to the reception hall to see Master Matthew."

A hint of disdain flashed in Sisi's eyes as she nodded slightly, "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

"Thank you, big brother." Zhu Wu glanced at her, then turned to look at Su Yuntao.

"Of course." Su Yuntao smiled, turned around slightly, and said, "Come with me."

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded and followed.

As they walked, seeing that Sisi was getting further away, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yuntao, that auntie seemed to be hanging you up just now."

"Huh? Hanging? What does that mean?" Su Yuntao clearly didn't understand the meaning of this word.

"She'll say all sorts of nice things to you, making you think she genuinely likes you, making you willingly spend money to buy her this and that, and thinking of you whenever there's dirty or tiring work to do, asking for your help. But when you say you want to take the relationship to the next level, she'll find all sorts of reasons to refuse you, saying this isn't suitable, that isn't suitable, and now isn't the right time." Zhu Wu put it bluntly, "Then she'll dump you when she meets someone better."

"I heard from a college teacher that women usually refer to this as finding a free wallet."

"..." Su Yuntao said "red and warm" and his face turned red instantly, shaking his head repeatedly.

"No, no, Sisi isn't like that!"

Then he couldn't continue, seemingly unable to find any real-world examples to refute it, his face turning bright red.
