"Very good, Xiao San. Your skills have become even more refined. I'm truly impressed!"
It was only past noon when Xiao Yexuan looked at the thoroughly worn-out Tang San, a satisfied smirk curling up on his lips.
Looking at Tang San in this pitiful state, twisted into this condition by his own hands, gave Xiao Yexuan a deep sense of accomplishment.
Tang San lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position, panting heavily. She hadn't even eaten breakfast this morning.
On top of that, Xiao Yexuan had tormented her the night before as well—she was already exhausted and drained.
Now, after exerting herself all morning, her strength was nearly depleted.
Xiao Yexuan was truly despicable. She was starting to regret ever going against him.
Xiao Yexuan glanced down at Tang San—even lying on the ground, she still looked enchantingly seductive.
[Ding! Tang San has received 20,000 punishment points. Two black-tier rewards acquired.]
[Ding! From the black-tier rewards: obtained handgun, obtained rocket launcher!]
Xiao Yexuan froze for a moment. Huh? Why are the rewards real-world weapons now?
A handgun? That's a hot weapon—far more powerful than the Godly Zhuge Crossbow that Tang San could craft.
One shot could probably take down even a Soul Douluo!
Especially the rocket launcher—that thing packed even more punch!
As for how much punch exactly, Xiao Yexuan would need to do some testing.
If it couldn't hurt a Title Douluo, then it was useless to him. Eventually, Xiao Yexuan would have to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and go out into the world.
Without a powerful offensive weapon, Xiao Yexuan could end up as cannon fodder out there.
It wasn't easy transmigrating once, and now he was in the world of Douluo Dalu, surrounded by stunning beauties.
Just Tang San turning into a girl was enough to keep Xiao Yexuan hooked.
If he could collect a few more like her, Xiao Yexuan could live the life of an emperor every day.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yexuan remembered the Poison Douluo.
Dugu Bo was still a Title Douluo after all. From his reactions, Xiao Yexuan could probably gauge how powerful his new weapons really were.
Based on the timing, Dugu Bo should be back by now. Xiao Yexuan stretched with satisfaction—today had truly been refreshing.
Especially seeing how obedient Tang San had become—that made him even happier.
At that moment, Xiao Yexuan merely waved his hand, and Tang San obediently crawled over.
Her eyes sparkled with a pink hue. After so many such "sessions," Tang San's body had started to change.
It was becoming much softer.
She thought this would help her serve Xiao Yexuan better.
Especially when she was exhausted.
Tang San served Xiao Yexuan, while Xiao Yexuan enjoyed the pleasure. Soon, he sensed a disturbance outside.
Dugu Bo had arrived.
When Dugu Bo entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he first saw the field of medicinal herbs. Satisfied, he nodded.
At least Tang San wasn't heartless—he hadn't taken everything.
If the place had been stripped bare, Dugu Bo would've had a breakdown.
But once he stepped deeper into the Well, he felt an ominous sensation.
It was as if some ancient beast was watching him, making Dugu Bo feel deeply uneasy.
He'd lived a long life and was highly sensitive to danger.
So he quickly assumed a defensive stance.
At the same time, two black spheres appeared in his hands.
These were a gift from Tang San—Tang Sect's hidden weapon: Soul-Chasing Life-Seizing Mother and Child Darts.
Among the hidden weapons Tang San had crafted so far, this one was the most overbearing.
If subjected to strong external force or impact, its full power would be unleashed.
These weapons were used in pairs and needed to be launched using the Meteor Catching the Moon technique.
Perhaps their raw power wasn't enough to injure a Title Douluo, but the suddenness of the attack, combined with Dugu Bo's own strength, was enough to stop any opponent.
Its most notable feature was that the higher the user's soul power, the stronger the weapon became.
Dugu Bo believed that using this set of hidden weapons, he could escape even from a Title Douluo stronger than himself.
So why didn't Dugu Bo just leave immediately? Although he sensed danger, there was still something he cared about here.
That was Tang San. She had helped him treat his poison, and now his granddaughter needed Tang San's help too.
So he had to find Tang San.
Xiao Yexuan remained hidden in the shadows.
Tang San was still serving him, and hadn't noticed Dugu Bo's arrival.
If Tang San had seen him, she would've been ecstatic.
Her beloved old monster had finally arrived!
But instead, Xiao Yexuan gave Tang San a smack on the butt and said:
"Xiao San, look—guess who just showed up?"
Right now, Tang San was very obedient to Xiao Yexuan. She made sure to listen to every word he said carefully.
As long as Xiao Yexuan spoke, no matter what state she was in, she could hear him clearly.
Hearing that someone had arrived, Tang San perked up and looked back.
And became even more delighted.
Her old monster had arrived.
As long as Dugu Bo could defeat Xiao Yexuan, she would be free.
But seeing Dugu Bo getting closer, Tang San suddenly panicked. Dugu Bo wasn't far away.
Logically, he should've clearly seen everything that just happened.
What had Tang San just been doing? Something that humiliating—how could she allow a second person to witness it?
Even though Dugu Bo was her friend, this sort of thing couldn't be exposed.
That meant only the dead could carry this secret to the grave.
Since she was close with Dugu Bo, she could just lie—say she still had residual poison in her body, and feed him a poisoned pill.
Then she could easily kill Dugu Bo.
Yes—if Dugu Bo had seen what she just did, then he had already found his path to death!
But what Tang San didn't know was that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely under Xiao Yexuan's control. Even if Dugu Bo stood right next to them, he couldn't see Xiao Yexuan or Tang San at all.
"Xiao San, put your clothes on. Let me get to know your little friend~!"
Of course, Xiao Yexuan wouldn't kill Dugu Bo so soon.
He could use Dugu Bo, and use the situation to give Tang San another punishment.
The more Tang San didn't want something to happen, the more Xiao Yexuan would make sure it did happen.
At that moment, Tang San froze. Dugu Bo's expression clearly showed he hadn't seen anything.
She had overthought it. The old monster didn't need to die. No!
He did need to die! Tang San had turned into a girl, been captured by a powerful man, and lived with him for two days. God knows what people would think if that got out!
Who doesn't have a mouth to gossip?
So, once Dugu Bo saved her, that would be the moment he would die!
To Tang San, who had lived two lives and never known parental love, killing meant nothing.
Who told Dugu Bo to learn her secret? He only had himself to blame!
