"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?!" He was furious as he looked at Wang Sheng and the others huddled together inside!

His eyes swept past Ye Qiu and landed on Xiao Wu, ready to reprimand her.

"Tang San is over there!" Ye Qiu, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, pointed at Tang San, who was slumped on the bed.

"Mistress!" Yu Xiaogang saw the figure lying on the bed and rushed over.

"Mistress, mistress!" I shook her hard, but there was no response. Fear gradually filled my mind.

He was nothing but a good-for-nothing who was kicked out of his family, a fraudster who was expelled from the Spirit Hall by the Holy Maiden, and a fool who was abandoned by his cousin, but he didn't want to die... After being ridiculed for most of his life, he wanted to prove himself to the world!

"Damn it! How dare you! If anything happens to the mistress, you'll all be executed!" He glared fiercely at Xiao Wu, his eyes bloodshot, spitting as he spoke.

"Hmph! He was the one who started it!" Xiao Wu wasn't afraid of just a level 29 useless old man.

"Master, don't worry, he should only have broken a few bones. Taking him to a healing-type Soul Master as soon as possible should be fine."

Ye Qiu tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve, telling her to stop talking, and then told Yu Xiaogang to take Tang San away!

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Yu Xiaogang finally recovered somewhat. He placed his hand on Tang San's neck to examine him before relaxing.

A gust of wind blew in from outside, and I couldn't help but shiver; my back was already soaked with sweat.

"Hmph! It had better be that way, otherwise none of you will escape!" After uttering these harsh words, he left with Tang San on his back without saying anything more.

As Ye Qiu gazed at the night outside, he noticed a dark figure appear beside Yu Xiaogang as he sped away, the shadowy silhouette indistinct from view...

"Xiao Qiu, how about we leave Notting Academy?" Ye Qiu, who was still staring blankly outside, heard Xiao Wu's voice in his ear.

'Go? Where to? Can you even leave?' Without saying much, he pulled her into his arms. 'Don't worry, get some rest, you'll be fine in a few days...'

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu replied softly. She didn't know what Ye Qiu was thinking, and all she could do was trust him.

……

Late at night, the lights in Dormitory 7 were turned off, and everyone else had already fallen asleep, but Ye Qiu just couldn't fall asleep.

'This incident will definitely be seen as an obstacle by Tang Hao, and my days by Xiao Wu's side are numbered!'

"Xiao Wu?"

While Ye Qiu was still pondering things, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to him, had gotten up.

She tiptoed to Ye Qiu's bedside and lay down without any hesitation.

Xiao Wu leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, snuggled into his embrace, and nuzzled her head against him.

"Xiao Qiu~ It's been so long since we've lay together like this! Hug me... okay?"

Her sweet voice was soothing and comforting.

My stiff body and troubled mind were greatly relieved.

Holding the soft girl in his arms, their eyes met.

Perhaps he should go to the Soul Hunting Forest; without soul skills, his safety is not guaranteed at all.

It's surprising that Xiao Wu had to step in today's situation.

He had already made up his mind that even if something happened to him, he would never let anything happen to Xiao Wu. Sacrifice was out of the question!

Ye Qiu has no interest in any kind of soul ring for his deceased wife.

As he was still thinking about tomorrow's itinerary, he felt a soft, familiar touch on his lips.

After a few breaths, Xiao Wu's voice rang out again.

"Xiao Qiu~ Get some rest early~ Xiao Wu will always be with you!"

"Um..."

……

Chapter 18 Tang Hao's Fate

Dawn breaks, the sun rises in the east!

Ye Qiu's biological clock, ingrained over a long period, caused him to open his eyes early.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was still in his arms, with a little moisture on her lips, and her face still seemed a bit chubby due to her age, he pinched her little cheek.

I carefully left the bed, went outside as usual, found a secluded corner, climbed a tree branch, and watched the purple mist emanating from the east...

……

"Phew..." Today's training with the Purple Demon Eye has come to an end. Time to get ready!

Back in Dormitory Seven, he wrote down his destination and placed it beside Xiao Wu's pillow.

Just four simple words: 'Hunter, do not worry!'

The Soul Hunting Forest is not open to just anyone. It is inhabited by captive soul beasts, and one must possess a specific token to enter.

In other words, it's a warrant from the Spirit Hall, which you need to exchange for gold soul coins at the Spirit Hall's Notting branch.

Upon arriving at the branch hall of the Spirit Hall, they were stopped as soon as they entered.

"The Spirit Hall is a sacred ground; not just anyone can enter! Show me your Spirit Master credentials!"

"I've just reached level ten and want to buy a token for the Soul Hunting Forest. Could you please show me the way, sir?"

Ye Qiu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he took out his Notting Academy enrollment certificate and also activated his soul power.

"Soul Hunter? Just a little kid like you?" The guard frowned. "I advise you to hire some people..."

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. I will..."

"Okay, come with me!" The guard didn't say much. He had seen many ordinary children like these, and he didn't know how many of them had perished in the Soul Hunter Forest.

It's hard to reason with a damned ghost; all he can do is offer his opinions.

The Spirit Hall was quite efficient; Ye Qiu completed the necessary procedures quickly, though it was rather expensive, taking away eight or nine tenths of his savings over the years.

After carefully putting away the warrant, he spent some time going to the street to go to his workplace and retrieve the gunpowder he had prepared long ago.

In the distance, unnoticed by Ye Qiu, a pair of weathered eyes were watching his every move.

As I passed through a small alley, the number of pedestrians around me dwindled.

Whoosh! A black figure floated down and stood in front of Ye Qiu.

"What..." Ye Qiu froze on the spot before he could even utter a word.

The pressure, a very strong pressure, made it difficult for him to move his body.

The eyes beneath the black stockings were fixed on the figure in front of him. He wore a black straw hat, had a burly build, and a face covered in stubble, obscuring his entire features.

But Ye Qiu knew him: Tang San's dead father, Haotian Douluo... Tang Hao!

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, a sense of panic rising within him. 'Damn it, is he about to attack now?'

A hoarse voice rang in Ye Qiu's ears. Tang Hao's lips moved slightly, but the voice resounded throughout Ye Qiu's mind.

The sound was so clear it formed a line! "Outside the city, in the eastern forest!"

She stood quietly in place, glanced at Ye Qiu one last time, and then disappeared!

Thump! "Huff...huff..." Ye Qiu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath of fresh air.

In front of Tang Hao, he even forgot to breathe, as if drowning, his whole body was soaked, sweat dripping from his chin onto the ground.

"Heh... The Haotian Sect is really protective of its own. I'm even going to have to personally get rid of my son's love rival!"

He bitterly complained, then shakily got up, hesitated for a moment, and was about to head to the forest in the east of the city to keep his appointment.

Since Tang Hao didn't attack him directly, the possibility of danger was much smaller. In front of a Title Douluo, he was nothing more than an ant.

Even if they wanted to escape, they were powerless to do so.

He also wanted to see whether Tang Hao's actions were for his daughter-in-law or for the sake of the 100,000-year soul ring!

Nottingham City wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. After leaving the city gate, Ye Qiu walked for another half an hour before arriving at Tang Hao's location.

Tang Hao had been waiting for a long time. He stood there straight, his black straw hat fluttering in the wind, and he certainly had a certain charm.

"I wonder what business you have with me, senior?" Ye Qiu asked respectfully.

Tang Hao didn't even turn his head, seemingly too lazy to even glance at Ye Qiu, and directly commanded, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Kid, leave that girl. She's not good enough for you!"

Ye Qiu also started to play dumb, "Is the girl you're talking about Xiao Wu? Are you Xiao Wu's family member?"

To prevent Tang Hao from having any intention of killing him to cover it up, Ye Qiu tried his best not to let his words involve Tang Hao and Tang San.

"You don't need to know!" Tang Hao turned around, his voice turning colder. "Leave here! Never show your face in front of that girl again!"

"Why?" Ye Qiu frowned. Whether it was an act or not, he was also a little curious about the reason Tang Hao was going to give.

"You're nothing but a coward..." Tang Hao replied calmly, "A piece of trash who broke through level ten months ago but still doesn't dare to hunt souls!"

"..." Ye Qiu never expected that his conversation with Xiao Wu would be overheard.

When Xiao Wu learned that Ye Qiu's soul power had reached level ten, she repeatedly offered to help him hunt for a soul ring, but he refused with one reason or another.

Unexpectedly, Tang Hao saw this and concluded that he was a coward.

"Is that all? Senior, I think I can too..."
