Chapter 140 Poison Douluo's Choice? The Threat of Bone Douluo!
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't let Third Brother get into danger. If that day ever comes, I will do what Aunt did and give everything for him, even my own life."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's gaze was unwavering, without the slightest hesitation, and her voice was clear and resolute.
"Xiao Wu, you really touched me. All these years I've been away, and I'm so grateful to have you by my side." Hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, but he still didn't dare to show a smile on his face. He could only suppress his joy and speak slowly.
"It's only right," Xiao Wu nodded slightly and said softly.
After a moment of silence, Tang Hao's expression gradually became serious again, and he said, "Xiao Wu, there's something else I want to tell you today."
"What is it?" Xiao Wu frowned slightly, puzzled.
Tang Hao's gaze darkened, and his tone became extremely serious. He said, "As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you should understand that once a soul master reaches the level of a Title Douluo, careful observation will inevitably reveal that you are a soul beast. In six months, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament will begin... If you continue to participate, your identity will definitely be exposed."
"But I have to go! What will happen to the entire Shrek Academy if I don't go? All of Grandmaster's years of hard work and Third Brother's years of hard work will be in vain. I can feel that Third Brother really wants to shine in the Soul Master Competition, win the championship, and prove himself."
Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, and a resolute yet helpless light flashed in her eyes.
At this point, she frowned slightly, as if remembering something, and continued:
"Uncle, I remember when we encountered that Poison Douluo at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, how come he, as a Title Douluo, didn't realize my identity?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, his expression quite solemn as he said:
"That's because I was in the shadows at the time. I secretly used my soul power and mental power to temporarily seal your aura, but this method is not a long-term solution. At most, it can only hide from low-level Title Douluos like Dugu Bo. If a Title Douluo's strength is higher than level 95, then it can't be hidden at all. Once you go to Wuhun City to participate in the competition, it's only a matter of time before you are exposed."
(P.S.: Here's a patch for the original story: In the original novel, when Xiao Wu met Dugu Bo at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she didn't have the Acacia Heartbreak Red on her. As for why she wasn't discovered, you'd probably have to ask the original author. This is basically patching up the original story, cleaning up a mess!)
Xiao Wu shook her head, her eyes filled with determination, and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, it's alright, I'm not afraid. Even if I die, I want to be with Third Brother. Besides, aren't you a Title Douluo? With you protecting us in the shadows, what is there to be afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao seemed to have received the answer he was most satisfied with. His expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded, slowly saying, "Alright then, if that's the case, do as you wish. However, please don't tell Xiao San about what happened today."
"Why can't we tell Third Brother?" Xiao Wu frowned in confusion and pressed for an answer.
Tang Hao's expression was somewhat solemn, and he explained in a low voice:
"Xiao San values relationships too much. If he finds out about these things, he'll probably rush to the Spirit Hall for revenge, and he certainly won't let you sacrifice yourself for him..."
At this point, Tang Hao seemed to realize he might have said something wrong, so he immediately changed his tone and softened his manner, saying:
"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll leave now. Please take good care of my mistress for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Tang Hao's purpose in coming here today was simply to confirm Xiao Wu's thoughts. If she didn't share his ideas, and his identity might be exposed, then he would have no choice but to…
…………
A huge, silvery moon hangs high in the sky.
The pale moonlight bathed the entire Tiandou City, draping it in a silvery veil. Tang Chuan walked alone on the streets of Tiandou City, the moonlight stretching his shadow long and thin.
The streets were quiet, with only the sound of the wind gently blowing and his steady footsteps.
Suddenly, Tang Chuan stopped and said in a low voice:
"Stop following us in the shadows, Xue Qinghe isn't here."
As he finished speaking, a figure in emerald green flashed down from the rooftop and landed steadily in front of him. It was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo glanced at Tang Chuan, crossed his arms, and said irritably, "Hmph, if I hadn't promised to protect your safety, I wouldn't have bothered following you."
"Then why don't you just swagger around next to me?" Tang Chuan Xiaoxiong frowned, shrugged, and said with a slightly speechless expression.
"You know my relationship with Prince Xuexing. Do you think it's appropriate for me to go with you to see Xue Qinghe?" Dugu Bo said with a slightly dark expression.
Tang Chuan smiled, shrugged helplessly, and said, "What's inappropriate about it? If that old fellow Prince Xuexing asks, you can just say you were entrusted to protect me."
"Royal matters are far more complicated than you think. You're still too young; some things aren't as simple as they seem. I noticed something was wrong with Xue Qinghe a long time ago." Dugu Bo's face darkened, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke slowly.
"Often, you have to look beyond the surface to see the essence in order to discover the real problem."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he was secretly surprised.
As a time traveler, he naturally knew that this Xue Qinghe was fake, but he didn't expect that Dugu Bo had also noticed some clues long ago.
He did not delve further into the matter, but simply said in a deep voice:
"Senior Dugu, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
With a slight frown and a scrutinizing look in his eyes, Dugu Bo asked, "What's the problem?"
Tang Chuan's expression turned slightly grave. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "If one day Prince Xue Xing and I became enemies, whose side would you choose to help?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly, and he stood frozen in place, clearly finding it difficult to speak. After a moment, he took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Prince Xuexing saved my life, and I, Dugu Bo, have always repaid kindness. If you ask me to kill him, I cannot do it. If he asks me to kill you, I cannot do it either. All I can do is remain neutral. However, if I must take sides, then it is naturally you."
"With your talent and strength, I believe that within twenty years, no one in the entire Douluo Continent will be your match. If I had to choose one person, I would only choose you."
"However, I cannot help you kill Prince Xuexing."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan immediately burst into laughter, saying with a touch of heroic spirit:
"Hahaha! Senior Dugu, I love your straightforward and honest personality! Don't worry, I will never let you kill that old guy. If it really came down to it, you probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, saying nothing more, his brows furrowed slightly. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Kid, it's so late, where are we going next?"
Tang Chuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said calmly:
"Let's go, come with me to the auction house in Tiandou City. I recently took some time to refine some pills, and I'm wondering if I can sell them for some money to help with the academy's construction. After all, the academy's future expenses will be a considerable sum."
Dugu Bo nodded, and then walked with Tang Chuan into the depths of the streets of Tiandou City. The moonlight shone on their backs, making their shadows incredibly long and thin.
…………
Meanwhile, at the main gate of Shrek Academy.
They learned that Tang San ultimately refused to sell the method of making hidden weapons to Ning Fengzhi.
Bone Douluo's face immediately darkened. He raised his hand and gripped Tang San's neck tightly with immense force, lifting the latter up completely. He roared angrily:
"What did you say? We're offering you information in exchange, and you still won't sell?"
Tang San struggled fiercely, his face flushed red, his breathing rapid, yet his voice remained defiant as he gasped, "I will never sell! My teacher knows about my father, he just doesn't want to tell me. Do you think such information is worth anything I'd give up?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Bone Douluo's eyes, and he lowered his voice to threaten:
"Kid, don't push me too far. Don't think I'm afraid to kill you!"
