Taking Bunny Girl Home
After taking care of the forest fire which was caused by his fiance throwing a temper tantrum, Xue Long looked at Xiao Wu.
"I saw what I wanted to see. Xiao Wu, you will be coming with me." The Crown Prince said in ordering fashion.
"Eh?"
"NO! Xiao Wu stays with me!" Tang San jumped in front of Xiao Wu, between the Prince and the bunny girl.
At that moment the golden lion once again smacked the neon green-haired kid away…
"That would be suicidal. That would only repeat what happened to Tang Hao and the blue-haired spirit beast woman." While Xue Long ignored this…he even started to see this as a gag of some sort…
"W-What do you mean?"
"From the looks of it, Tang San's mother is a spirit beast. But Tang Hao being an idiot caused her death. You saw that red ring Tang Hao had, didn't you? That is most likely Tang San's mother."
This made Xiao Wu's eyes widen to a large degree. She paled, realising that she could end up as a Spirit Ring! It made her much more self-conscious of the dangers of the humans outside the forest!
"I-It doesn't matter! I promised Xiao Wu that I will protect her!" Tang San stood up once again and walked over once more. This time he didn't jump in front of Xiao Wu… he might have learned his lesson…
"Protect her from Spirit Douluos? And how are you planning to do that?" Xue Long asked him, he snapped his fingers and Na'er and Hu Liena walked over.
"Both of them are Spirit Douluos, the silver-haired one is rank 87 and the blonde one is Rank 83. You will fight one to 'protect' Xiao Wu. Are you ready?" The Prince casually explained how the guy will need to fight one of them. Which made the younger Tang nervous even more! These girls are Spirit Douluos!?
"Hu Liena, why don't you fight him? Your fighting style is less physically harming than Na'er." The Crown Prince decided, for now, he doesn't want to hurt Tang San more than necessary because his new rabbit maid will most likely jump in to stop the fight. So mental attacks are better by this point.
Even if she is ever going to need to use those in the first place.
"As you wish my Prince." The blonde girl took a few steps and was standing in front of Tang San who was… nervous at this moment. He didn't expect that the prince would just bring out a Spirit Douluo like this.
"So? What are you going to do? As Spirit Douluo my Liena over here needs her last spirit ring. How are you going to protect her from the enemy who is close to 50 ranks above you?" Just like Xue Long created a situation where Xiao Wu is in 'danger' , how is he going to solve it?
Tang San, who misunderstood the situation, believed that Hu Liena wanted to kill Xiao Wu! He lunged forward and started to use his martial arts which made the blonde maid confused for a bit.
She had never seen a martial arts style like this. So she started analysing the patterns and philosophy behind it.
After all, when you understand the philosophy behind it you understand which part of the body part is the art targeting.
And what she saw made her quite serious as this martial art is targeting vital areas just like Tai Chi and Boundless Fist does!
However… Tang San pulled out two knives and started to use them which made Hu Liena coat her arms with diamond energy glow.
Before long she delivered a powerful punch which broke the knives and sent the neon-coloured teen flying several metres.
"It appears you didn't even need to use your cultivation to beat him up." Xue Long said that with slightly narrowed eyes.
He had read about the martial art used by Tang San when he read the book but seeing it in person made him quite annoyed. It was a mix of a multitude of different styles focusing on killing off an enemy as quickly as possible. A style developed by assassins for assassins.
Thankfully, Hu Liena saw through it and used Diamond Fists to smash through with sheer force.
While Tang San, who believes in the superiority of his Tang Sect, was more than shocked! He never thought that someone in this world would have a style which would break through his Tang Sect one!
The more he was exposed to Xue Long and his influence the more he felt despair!
"It would seem you won't be able to defend Xiao Wu. Tell me, girl. Are you going to stay with him or will you come with me? Unlike him, I have a Great Beast and Qiu'er. I don't kill Spirit Beasts blindly, I even made residents of my Empire kill only when they need to. Most importantly you will reach Titled Douluo under my tutelage in record time." Xue Long explained to the bunny girl who looked perplexed by this…
While Xiao Wu looked at Tang San for a bit before looking at Wang Qiu'er. An Auspicious beast like Wang Qiu'er smacked Tang San away two times now… is… her brother an evil person? An Auspicious beast like Wang Qiu'er feels when someone is evil and the beast even calls him 'gross'...
Plus the lion is protective of the prince who made all these girls powerful… This only made sense to her. Plus she is afraid that someone of Spirit Douluo level will come and kill her and take her Spirit Ring and her Spirit Bone.
"I will come with you. Just please don't punish my brother Tang San for his transgressions."
"...Don't worry. I don't take his actions seriously."
Hearing how he is not taking him seriously only made something inside Tang San snap. He looked at Xue Long with blood-red eyes. He was about to lunge at the prince but a single gaze from the Crown Prince made the Neon green hair-coloured teen feel like he was nailed to the ground! He couldn't move, think or even breathe! What kind of crushing pressure was this!?
"Let's go. We spend enough time here as it is."
"You have my thanks, Dean of Shrek. I will send some people to fix up the damage caused by Tang Hao interference. And on another note, the boy, Tang San. He lacks discipline and he is delusional, he needs training, a lot of training." After saying all that everyone started to walk towards the exit. Xiao Wu looked at 'nailed' down Tang San. She was feeling conflicted but her survivability takes priority now that everyone knows that she is Spirit Beast.
~~~
Tang San looked at leaving Xiao Wu, he could not believe how this just ended like this!
They beat up his Father and then took Xiao Wu! He even made it sound like he is doing a favour!
This man… this Prince… he is pure evil! A genius mastermind!
The Tang Boy has no idea what kind of dodgy methods he used to reach such a high level of cultivation…but it doesn't matter!
He will surpass it! And then he will regain what he lost and bring that Prince to justice!!!
"Tang San come, we need to discuss some things." The Dean of Shrek motioned for the boy to follow. It took him several moments to realise that there was a person next to him.
Though sure enough more people are coming out from hiding when the prince has left. The Crown Prince's existence is just that fierce. People are hiding from his evil aura! He knows it!
'I need to make a poison which not even he could resist and survive from! For what he did to my father and Xiao Wu! Don't worry Xiao Wu! I will save you once I am strong enough!'
The Neon Green-haired teen clenched his fist in anger before walking with the Dean into the main building.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
After a successful visit to the Shrek, Xue Long went to the Balak Kingdom capital where he made the ruling nobles there to mobilise. To make sure everything is smooth he sends a message to his Royal Father to mobilise the troops.
Once that was done he started his journey back to the Capital himself.
While that was happening the ghostly form of Tang Wutong was looking at Xiao Wu. The butterfly girl could not believe the Prince was able to get her like this!
Because of how her actions are restricted thanks to Wang Qiu'er. She was only able to see where the lioness went!
So she missed the part where Tang Hao engaged Xue Long. All she saw was Qian Renxue going there to engage her grandfather!
[What was your first expression of your father dearest?] Xue Long asked the ghost girl directly.
"Ugh… I never thought I would see him as human… this well… can we not talk about this?" The girl said with an embarrassed tone. If she met him as a human she wouldn't have been friends with him.
That's for sure… There is that certain annoyance around him which makes Tang Wutong simply pissed.
[Pretty sure I made enemies with him when I took Xiao Wu away from him like that.]
His words made the butterfly girl look at her mother who was in the attention of the maids. The maids were giving her a basic rundown of things which made the rabbit girl confused. Most importantly, the Crown Prince already noticed a certain antagonistic relationship growing between Xiao Wu and Huo Wu.
"...Yes I suppose… he wouldn't like that his woman was taken away like this… no one would like."
[They call each other brother and sister… pretty sure that doesn't make a romantic relationship. Though… I never thought they would be in such a kinky relationship later.]
His words made Tang Wutong, who was quite green in relationships, quite embarrassed!
So her father and mother were like brother and sister?
"W-Well at least you can protect her better right!?" She quickly diverted the theme of conversation into something more 'safe' to talk about.
[I am. And I will train her as well. I haven't thought I will get a proper Spirit Beast turned human.] Xue Long said that with a knowing look.
He was pretending that he doesn't know about Na'er and Gu Yue after all he is waiting for those two to spill the beans themselves…
"I am sure this number will only increase. Wang Qiu'er will turn into one. That one I believe is only a matter of time. Other Great Beasts might as well follow this too. Zi Ji growth only solidifies that.'
The crown Prince slowly nodded at her. She is right and those Spirit Beasts turned humans are quite powerful. His making Gu Yue and Na'er reach beyond their limit which was Rank 60 is the best proof that his training is far better than the regular one.
[True. For now, let's just watch how things change from here.]
As he said that he stopped communicating with Tang Wutong and instead focused on snuggling into the fur of the golden lion which he has been using as a pillow.
~~~~~~Same time in the Imperial Academy~~~~~
"Not bad. Your strength has been increasing at a rapid pace these past few months." Zi Ji said that with crossed arms.
In front of her on the ground was a girl with purplish black hair. This was Gu Yue who has been training with Zi Ji for the past several months.
The Abyss Demon Dragon agreed to train the girl because it sounded fascinating that she had legitimate reason to beat up THE Silver Dragon King…
Besides, it was a good time for her to test the Dragon Style she has been practising. A style she has been training from the moment she was made to join the Prince's camp.
Now she can certainly say that she is one of the strongest beings on the continent! She never thought simple martial arts could make her this strong!
"Still… I doubt I am strong enough to beat Na'er… she is simply on a different level of strength…" Gu Yue said that as she was looking at the clouds.
The Silver Dragon King just recently passed that 60 Rank limit. Which she was for over a year. Practising Lotus Meditation and absorbing Heaven and Earth Energies made her… Soul grow? She doesn't know herself regardless… the time is almost there…
She will need to fight someone who is above her in strength by more than 20 Rank!
"Don't rush it, you will be strong, that is just a matter of time." Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan said as she started to heal the Silver Dragon girl.
Internally Gu Yue grimaced as these two didn't know about the deal she made with Na'er…
