Douluo: The Op-Op Fruit, skilled at researching them

Chapter 20: Showdown with Tang San

After a long shower, Luo dried his wet hair with a towel, put on a bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom.

Luo's hair hadn't been cut in a long time, and now his hairstyle looked almost like a wolf's tail, casually draped over his shoulders.

"Wow! I feel like you've become even more handsome!!"

The moment Xiao Wu saw Luo walk out of the bathroom, her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.

Immediately, Xiao Wu ran close to Luo's arms, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration. Her beautiful wine-red eyes shone brightly in the light and shadow, like sparkling gems.

She looked up and carefully examined Luo's face from top to bottom, from his forehead to his eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and chin. Every part of him was so exquisite and charming.

"Hey! Rabbit spirit, don't get so close, step back!"

Luo felt a little uncomfortable being so close to Xiao Wu, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

So he quickly reached out and gently nudged Xiaowu's shoulder, trying to keep her at a distance.

Xiao Wu wasn't angry when Luo called her "rabbit spirit" this time; instead, she seemed used to it.

After all, for the past four months, every time Luo saw her, he would just call her "rabbit spirit," so she had long since become immune to that term.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I didn't expect you to become even whiter and more handsome, Luo! I'm so envious of your skin! It's so white and smooth!"

As Xiao Wu spoke, she reached out and gently touched Luo's exposed chest. The delicate touch from her fingertips made her let out a series of "tsk tsk tsk" sounds of admiration, her eyes filled with longing and affection.

Luo felt the touch of Xiao Wu's fingertips, as if an electric current was running through him, causing an unbearable itch to surge in his chest.

The touch was like being gently stroked by a quill pen. He instinctively reached out and quickly grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist, stopping her "mischievous" hand from exploring downwards.

Luo squinted, his gaze fixed on Xiao Wu's alluring eyes, and said in a low voice, "Are you a little rabbit spirit in heat? Why are you starting to get handsy?"

Xiao Wu's wrist was grabbed by Luo, but she did not show any intention of backing down.

Instead, she quietly took two steps forward, pressing her slightly bulging chest against his.

Gradually, her breathing began to synchronize with Luo's rhythm.

At this moment, a seductive smile curved Xiao Wu's lips, and her delicate tongue darted out slightly, gently licking her lips. Her tone carried a hint of provocation and anticipation:

"So what if I'm in love? What are you going to do to me?"

Upon hearing this, a complex light flashed in Luo's eyes. He then gave a soft hum and released her hand.

However, just as Luo turned to leave, Xiao Wu reacted quickly, her fair and snow-white arms wrapping around his neck like serpents, and she tilted her head to rest gently on his shoulder.

Right next to Luo's ear, Xiao Wu whispered softly, "I'm playing with fire!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already pressed her fiery red lips precisely onto Luo's neck, and Luo embraced her tightly, gently laying her down on the soft bed.

…………

It was already evening. Luo and Xiao Wu walked hand in hand, side by side, on the road to Notting Junior Academy.

At noon at the hotel, Luo certainly didn't do anything substantial with Xiao Wu; their age didn't allow him to do what he wanted.

However, it's still possible for him to collect some interest from Xiao Wu in advance!

It has to be said that, no matter from the top, the bottom, or any other perspective, Xiao Wu, this rabbit spirit, is indeed quite appealing!

Of course, Luo didn't actually fall in love with Xiao Wu. From beginning to end, he was just "using" Xiao Wu.

When Luo first arrived at Notting Junior Academy, his only thought was to "fool" Xiao Wu and then use the power of the Op-Op Fruit to separate the 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone from Xiao Wu's body.

Afterwards, he would absorb Xiao Wu's spirit ring or spirit bone into his body to improve the quality of his Yama Martial Soul or enhance his physical attributes.

What Luo didn't expect was that because he had acted so convincingly before, as if he really didn't care about Xiao Wu's soul beast identity and truly regarded Xiao Wu as his closest friend.

Xiao Wu seemed to have completely believed it and had actually fallen in love with him.

Even at noon today, she went so far as to seduce him, tempting him to bite her and establish a romantic relationship with him.

Left with no other choice, Luo reluctantly took Xiao Wu into his fishpond.

Just as a golden sunset slowly sank into the sky like molten gold, painting the horizon with a brilliant orange-red hue, Tang San's figure, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, slowly walked from the end of the road not far away.

"Mistress, are you going to work at the blacksmith's shop again today?"

Luo stopped and stood still, taking the initiative to greet Tang San, who was not far away.

Tang San responded with a soft "Mm," his voice low and brief. He then nodded slightly, as if to greet the two of them.

However, at that moment, Tang San noticed that Luo Zheng was holding Xiao Wu's hand, and his expression froze slightly, a sense of unease quietly rising in his heart.

Tang San himself couldn't explain why he felt this sudden emotion. He just suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable looking at Luo, and even had a faint urge to punch him hard in the face.

In a secluded corner of the academy, where no one could find him, Tang Hao, draped in a tattered black cloak, stood quietly, watching Tang San extend a soul-fighting invitation to Luo.

"Is it because of the girl standing next to Luo? I didn't see her last time I came!"

Tang Hao's gaze lingered on Xiao Wu, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

Thinking back to the last time I followed Tang San, it was four months ago on the first day of school.

That day, he only witnessed the scene of Tang San and Village Chief Jack being blocked by the gatekeeper, and then the Grandmaster stepping in to help them and taking Tang San as his disciple. After that, he quietly left and returned to Holy Soul Village.

Since then, apart from visiting Ah Yin, who was sleeping, in the cave behind the waterfall every day, Tang Hao has almost never ventured into the outside world, nor has he ever inquired about Tang San's life at the academy.

After all, Tang Hao was well aware that with the extraordinary talent his son Tang San had displayed, he naturally didn't need to worry too much about his life at the academy.

Therefore, this was the first time Tang Hao had seen Xiao Wu's appearance in the past four months.
