Chapter 138.

Onlookers or readers may think, "This is nothing, what is a he/she afraid of?" 

But only when you are in their shoes and experience the suffering, will you know how difficult it is to make a choice. It's like being attracted to someone wealthy and beautiful when you are just a poor boy. The various conditions of this wealthy and beautiful person may be something you can't achieve through a lifetime of struggle. 

If you don't love her, you don't have a conscience, and maybe you can calmly accept a comfortable life. But if you genuinely love her, the significant disparity between the two will force you to face reality and possibly lead to leaving the other.

"Teacher Liu, think about it. How much courage do you need to be with him in such a situation?" Wang Feng said.

Liu Erlong was silent for a long time and finally smiled bitterly. "I understand... Thank you, Wang Feng. In the past, I wasn't able to see clearly."

"Since you can understand... then go to Grandmaster. As long as you can understand each other, being together is a matter of minutes." Wang Feng pointed to the two figures in the forest ahead.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath and walked over with a smile on her face. In reality, there is no gap between the two of them. They love each other in their hearts, but it's hard for them to understand each other.

After a while, Tang San also walked over, observing Wang Feng in silence for a moment. "Brother Feng, are you here too? It seems that you also know what happened between Grandmaster and Teacher Liu?"

Wang Feng nodded. "It's hard to imagine there is still this kind of relationship between the three of them," Tang San said in a melancholic tone. As an adult himself, he naturally harbors complicated and unspeakable feelings, especially when thinking about Xiao Wu."What? Thinking of Xiao Wu?" Wang Feng suddenly asked.

Tang San was surprised, wondering if Wang Feng had a telepathic connection with him. 

"Do you really consider her your sister?" Wang Feng questioned.

"Of course!" Tang San asserted, "I will always protect her!"

"Then what if she gets married? Her husband will protect her, and it's not your responsibility anymore?" Wang Feng continued.

Tang San felt a little flustered. The thought occurred to him, what if what happened to Teacher Liu and Grandmaster happened to him and Xiao Wu?

"You just advised Grandmaster so convincingly... but when it comes to yourself, it feels difficult, isn't it?" Wang Feng grinned, noting Tang San's internal struggle.

Seeing Grandmaster and Tang San together, it seemed that Tang San had persuaded Grandmaster somehow. Now, Teacher Liu and the Master appeared reconciled.

"I..." Tang San was ashamed and at a loss but managed to say, "I always treat Xiao Wu as my sister..."

"No, you like her, and she also likes you back. I'm talking about the kind of love between lovers." Wang Feng's straightforward words hit Tang San like a sharp arrow.

"But..." Tang San began to speak and realized he didn't know how to counter Wang Feng.

"Tsk, why would you want to follow in Grandmaster's footsteps? You are Tang San..." Wang Feng smiled, "You're not Grandmaster..."

Tang San was stunned, realizing, "Yes, I am Tang San, a genius of Tang Sect, and I like Xiao Wu! I will never follow in the footsteps of Grandmaster!" With this realization, Tang San looked at Wang Feng and nodded heavily.

Wang Feng shook his head. Xiao San was a confused boy in his previous life, probably not having even touched a woman's hand and being very vague about feelings. 

Wang Feng coughed a few times and said no more. At this moment, a cold presence suddenly manifested in front of them. Tang San was also taken aback, stepping back abruptly to look at the person in front of him.

Green hair, green eyes! HULK!....Cough...Cough..

The cold gaze resembled that of a poisonous snake, sending shivers down their spine. Additionally, there was shock in his eyes. Tang San understood why the other party was shocked—because the other party was Poison Douluo, and seeing Feng'ge not dead was genuinely surprising.

"Brother Feng, run!" Tang San roared.

'Run? Where to?' Wang Feng thought before sighing wryly.

"Good, good, good, you didn't die." Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, looked at Wang Feng, his eyes showing a mix of shock and anger.

He had been fooled, bamboozled even. This kid was definitely not seriously injured at the time. Pretending to be on the brink of death with only one breath left was all an act to deceive him.

"I say, senior, our business is already done," Wang Feng replied coolly.

Wang Feng said carelessly, "Why, are you angry that I deceived you at that time?"

"What do you mean?" Dugu Bo sneered.

"Hey, senior. Who do you think I did this for?" Wang Feng sighed and continued, "Wasn't it to make you not lose face?"

Dugu Bo was left stunned.

The audacious kid continued, "Think about it. If I didn't pretend that I was dying with only a breath left at that time... what would people in the soul master world think?"

"They would say, Oh, that Dugu Bo is really rubbish, a dignified Titled Douluo, and even after using the Martial Soul True Body didn't even manage to harm a thirty-sixth level Soul Elder? No wonder he is the most disappointing Titled Douluo in the whole Douluo Continent..."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

Tang San on the other side gasped when he heard it, unable to move his whole body. "Brother Feng is too bold, isn't he afraid of death?"

However, Wang Feng continued with a smile, "But if I pretend that I'm about to die, you won't hear these words. Otherwise, if you think about it in the soul master world, your Poison Douluo's name is probably already not great, right?"

The corners of Dugubo's mouth twitched, "Listening to you, it seems you wanted me to thank you?"

"Really."

Dugu Bo laughed angrily. Not to mention, there is still some truth in what this kid said.

However, in the next moment, Dugu Bo appeared in front of the two of them. Tang San fainted, without a chance to activate his spirit. Dugu Bo lifted both Tang San and Wang Feng and instantly disappeared into the forest.

Wang Feng didn't plan to resist because he knew Dugu Bo would take them to a specific place. He just wanted to see that treasure in the Douluo world, the Ice and Fire Lake.

"Xiao Feng really told you that?"

At this time, Grandmaster and Liu Erlong, who were still in each other's arms, were exchanging tender words.

"Yeah, that kid is very smart. So, now I can understand you..." Liu Erlong smiled softly, sharing what Wang Feng had said with the master.

"It's hard to imagine... that this had been said by a 13-year-old kid," Grandmaster felt a bit sentimental. For these years, he had been running away, but who truly understood him? Xiao San's words were reasonable, but what Xiao Feng said to Liu Erlong was also profoundly heartwarming.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong raised her head and looked in a particular direction.

"Who is it?" Grandmaster was taken aback, asking quickly, "What's the matter?"

Liu Erlong did not speak and swiftly led Grandmaster to the location where Wang Feng and Tang San were.

"This breath..."

Grandmaster's expression also changed, "Erlong, hurry up, go get Flender, the two children must have been taken away..."

With his judgment, he could roughly guess who might have been there just now. He could also quickly take away the two children under Liu Erlong's detection.

On the flip side, Tang San awoke to a world of darkness, his surroundings, save for a scattering of vibrant emerald lights flickering ahead was dark as night. His eyes widened in response, yet he remained still, calmly invoking the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Unexpectedly, voices pierced the silence, breaking the obsidian stillness.

"Senior, do you happen to have a comb? You know, the type for grooming one's hair."

It was the voice of Feng'ge! Tang San was taken aback.

"..." Dugu Bo.

"Senior, give me a hand here. My hair's a mess, and I need to neaten it up a bit."

"...No!" The raspy, chilling voice sent a shiver down Tang San's spine.

"Senior, why so serious? Don't you even own a comb?"

"Boy, you're in my grasp now! Are you unaware of your predicament? Your fate lies at my fingertips."

Dugu Bo's cold, harsh words resonated deeply with Tang San.

"No matter how dire the situation, I can't let my hair suffer... There needs to be a bit of style in life, otherwise, it'll be dull like you."

"…" Tang San remained silent.

Dugu Bo seemed to smirk, a strange smile on his face. "Tang San, kid, you already woke up. Don't pretend to be unconscious!"

Without a word, Tang San also rose, fixing his gaze on two piercing green dots—Dugu Bo's eyes.

Meanwhile, not far away, a pair of keen eyes scanned the surroundings.

It was Feng'ge.

"Boy, I hear you can deal with my granddaughter's Jade Phosphorous Violet Poison?"

Dugu Bo chuckled, dismissing Wang Feng, and focused solely on Tang San. "This should be interesting enough, shouldn't it?"

Tang San composed himself and responded casually:

"Your poison isn't all that potent. Even if Brother Feng's poison isn't fatal, how impressive is it that I can unravel your granddaughter's poison? It's merely using realgar to amplify the heat. Is there anything noteworthy in that?"

Tang San's casual tone provoked Dugu Bo once again.

"…" Dugu Bo remained silent.

"Little San, watch your words," Wang Feng intervened, patting Tang San on the shoulder. 

"Good brats!"

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, his words growing uneasy. "Your soul ability can make you immune to poisons, but as a Titled Douluo, I have 10,000 ways to kill you! Do you dare to challenge me? Kid, even your teachers when they see me, trembles in fear."

"Are they scared of you? " Wang Feng grinned. "But I'm not scared of you."

Tang San joined the laughter. With Brother Feng by his side, he wasn't particularly afraid of Dugu Bo, feeling more at ease.

"Besides…"

At that moment, Wang Feng burst into laughter. "Our teacher fears your poison, but seniors, you also fear your own poison?"

The words left Tang San and Dugu Bo stunned.
