Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 360, 379. Sword Sheath
However, Tang Hao kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Wu, giving her no chance to escape.

That night
Seeing that Xiao Wu was fast asleep, the father and son went to the next room to discuss their conversation. Unbeknownst to them, after they left, Xiao Wu quietly got out of bed, pressed her ear against the wall, and listened to their conversation next door with her keen hearing.

next door
Tang Hao looked intently at Tang San and said, "Little San, it's been over a year, and there's still no progress?"

Tang San said, "I can sense that Xiao Wu has developed some feelings for me, but I always feel like something is missing."

"Something's missing. Is it what she often says—that she's a slow-burning girl, a conservative girl, and doesn't want to confirm the relationship so early, and still needs to test you?" Tang Hao countered.

"Yes, yes, Dad, Xiao Wu is testing me. As long as I pass the test, Xiao Wu will definitely love me," Tang San said excitedly.

Tang Hao: "."

Both father and son are love-struck, but Tang Hao's love is directed towards Ah Yin, so he has a much clearer understanding of Xiao Wu than Tang San.

He slapped his forehead and said speechlessly, "Little San, do you know how many times Xiao Wu tried to escape but was stopped by her father?"

"Ah, is that so?" Tang San's face went blank.

"So, when she tells you she's slow to warm up, that she's conservative, and doesn't want to commit to a relationship so early, and that she needs to test you, she's probably just playing games with you, looking for an opportunity to escape from us!" Tang Hao said.

"Why?" Tang San's face darkened and he froze. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, saying painfully, "Xiao Wu, why? Haven't I treated you well this past year? I saved you from danger several times (caused by Tang Hao). Why, even so, do you still have to leave my side?"

"Alright, stop crying. What's a man crying for!" Tang Hao pulled Tang San up and said, "Xiao Wu is right in front of you. She's not going to run away. She'll be yours sooner or later."

"But," Tang San said sadly, "why can I still not touch Xiao Wu's heart?"

Tang Hao said, "That's because your method is wrong. From now on, you have to listen to your father."

"Dad, do you have an idea?" Tang San asked.

"Hmm." Tang Hao nodded, then his lips moved a few times, his voice forming a thin line that transmitted the message to Tang San's ears.

"Ah, isn't this too fast?" A blush crept onto Tang San's dark face.

"That's fast? You guys have been here for a year and you're still in the slow-burn stage." Tang Hao said disdainfully, "Are you planning to stay slow-burning forever? Aren't you going to the Killing City, little mistress?"

"But..." Tang San asked worriedly.

"No buts, get in the car first. It would be best to have a child first, and then slowly cultivate your relationship with the child as a bond. I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't associate with those shady men who can fuse with her martial soul. You can go to the City of Slaughter with peace of mind," Tang Hao said decisively.

After observing for more than a year, Tang Hao had long realized that Xiao Wu didn't love Tang San at all. If things continued to develop this way, there was no hope that Xiao San and Xiao Wu would end up together. Therefore, Tang Hao had decided to change his tactics.

"But if that's the case, I'm worried about my relationship with Xiao Wu." Tang San realized what his father was planning and began to worry.

Because he thought of the relationship between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong. If he forced himself on Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu ended up resenting him as much as Bibi Dong resented Qian Xunji, then there would be no way to undo the damage.

“I’ll play the bad cop and force her to marry you, and you play the good cop and treat her well. In short, let’s have a child first. Feelings can develop slowly over time,” Tang Hao said.

Tang San was persuaded by Tang Hao, and he also eagerly hoped that his relationship with Xiao Wu could bear fruit.

The father and son discussed things privately for a short while before parting ways.

Under the dark moonlight, Tang Hao's figure appeared beside Xiao Wu's room. Through the crack in the door and window, his deep red eyes gazed at the sleeping Xiao Wu inside. After confirming that nothing had changed, Tang Hao turned and left.

After that piercing gaze disappeared, Xiao Wu opened her eyes on the bed.

She began to summarize the information she had just gathered.

A crucial piece of information was omitted from the previous conversation between Tang Hao and his son.

But one thing is for sure: they seem to want my love, to make me fall for that dark-skinned guy, Tang San.

Xiao Wu could only explain this unusual purpose with one explanation: Tang Hao intended to repeat the same trick he had used on Ah Yin.

You made me fall in love with Tang San, and then you made me sacrifice myself to Tang San to please that scoundrel. Tang Hao, you are truly despicable.

Would I ever fall for your flying son, let alone have his child? I wouldn't even let him have it, let alone sacrifice him. I'd rather commit suicide than become a soul ring or soul bone for your Tang family.

Xiao Wu stated that she could never fall in love with Tang San in this lifetime, but the father and son were clearly plotting something.

Although she didn't know what the conspiracy was, she could clearly hear what Tang Hao said: "Get in the car first, have a child first, and form a bond!"

One thing is certain: the constant pulling of the drawer over the past year has finally made Tang Hao, that old dog, lose his patience, and he's ready to resort to underhanded tactics.

It seems I can't just sit here and wait to die; I have to find a way to escape.

But how can they escape? This is within Tang Hao's perception range.

Xiao Wu felt extremely distressed.

Tang Hao was already on alert after several previous attempts to escape, making it even more difficult for him to run away now.

Am I about to fall into Tang Hao and Tang San's trap? I might as well commit suicide. But I'm not willing to commit suicide because I haven't avenged my mother yet.

Just as Xiao Wu was feeling extremely distressed, she suddenly felt a warmth in her chest, as if something was about to come out.

"What...what is this? Something is about to come out of my chest?"

Xiao Wu was forced to tilt her head back and straighten her chest. A crimson light surged from her chest, and a sword sheath slowly flew out of Xiao Wu's body.

She stared blankly as the scabbard floated in mid-air, its appearance bathing the entire room in a blood-red light.

"What is this? How could there be something like this in my body?" Xiao Wu stared blankly at the sword sheath, her rabbit brain unable to process what was happening for a moment.

Soon, the scabbard withdrew the surrounding bloody light, and seeing that no one was there, the door opened on its own, and the scabbard flew out.

There is some connection between the scabbard and Xiao Wu; it is calling Xiao Wu to follow it.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but still followed the sword sheath out.

　By now, you should be able to guess that something small has happened in the God Realm: Tang San's powerful backer, the God of Asura, has encountered a minor accident!
