According to her, she also seems to have a certain ability to absorb and transform, absorbing the soul power in the opponent's attack and converting it into herself to replenish her own consumption.

Most importantly, it allows a person to be reborn through metamorphosis, much like an anaconda. Severe injuries are no problem; a metamorphosis is all it takes. The cooldown period is three years! (Compared to Snake Lady, this is simply a weakened version.)

It truly lives up to its reputation as the external soul bone that every soul master dreams of, possessing numerous functions.

This reassured Ye Qiu a lot about what Xiao Wu had left behind, at least giving him some ability to protect himself.

In fact, Xiao Wu lied to Ye Qiu in order to stay. The remains had another ability: biomimicry! It could conceal the aura of the soul beast on Xiao Wu's body.

She didn't tell him that she didn't want to leave him, but she also didn't want to be a burden to him. She was furious at Tang Hao and his son for assaulting him, and she was happy to do things for Ye Qiu...

Ye Qiu, hidden in the shadows, watched Xiao Wu walk away, and the more he thought about it, the angrier and more upset he became!

The father and son both stared at Xiao Wu in unison as they left...

'It's not going my way!'

His eyes returned to the direction of Notting College. With the setting sun behind him, he was heading to collect debts, even if it was just a little interest...

Every day at this time, Tang San would go to Yu Xiaogang's room to study theoretical knowledge.

At this moment, Tang San was sitting at his desk, reading Yu Xiaogang's so-called theory of the ten core competencies of martial souls.

In reality, these theories were just notes he made while reading other people's books.

What kind of research can a mere Great Soul Master, expelled from his family, possibly do? He can only go to the countryside and investigate whether useless martial souls like Blue Silver Grass possess any soul power...

Would other Soul Masters of slightly higher levels even bother with him? They're giving him too much credit!

Ye Qiu had already infiltrated the faculty and staff dormitory.

In the corridor, Yu Xiaogang carried a tray with dinner for him and his beloved disciple. He had done many things like this to give Tang San more time to study.

Based on the three kowtows Tang San made, he wasn't particularly impatient.

Using the kaleidoscope's power, Ye Qiu poked his head out from the ceiling and released the prepared medicine powder for livestock from the Divine Might Space, which fell like fine dust onto Yu Xiaogang below.

The dew is evenly distributed in the rice and dishes!

"Achoo...!" The powder in the air made Yu Xiaogang sneeze.

Ye Qiu glanced at the food Tang San was holding in front of him and felt nauseous. He wondered how much Tang San had actually eaten.

The medicine has been administered; now we just need to let the bullets fly for a while.

A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu disappeared from Notting City. He had no expectations for the next performance of the master and apprentice.

He wanted to go back to Biyou Village first, and then go to Shenghun Village to pull weeds and collect interest from Tang Hao.

Using the markers already made in a certain space outside the city, and relying on divine power, the journey was very convenient, and they appeared here in just a few breaths.

With the gentle breeze underfoot and the sunset behind me, I slowly walked towards Biyou Village.

……

"Little sister, put it down and eat!"

Yu Xiao had just entered the room and hadn't even put down what she was holding when she greeted Tang San.

"Understood, teacher! Coming right away..." Tang San put away his books. Ye Qiu's departure made him feel much more relaxed. After all... in the vast Notting Academy, who was still his rival?

The master and apprentice sat at the dining table like father and son.

Tang San had just picked up his rice bowl when he sniffed, as if he smelled something strange. "Teacher, does this rice have a strange smell?"

Yu Xiaogang sniffed as well. "Nothing there? Have you been reading for too long and are you experiencing olfactory hallucinations?"

"Is that so?" Tang San pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.

Without much hesitation, they started eating the dishes.

"Hiss~" x2

Tang San, who was still thinking about how to please Xiao Wu that evening while eating, suddenly gasped.

Yu Xiaogang is the same.

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, then immediately dropped their bowls and chopsticks and ran outside.

Because of Yu Xiaogang's early experiences, he has some trauma regarding things like outhouses, so there is no toilet in his room.

In the outhouse on the first floor, the two were separated by a board, with Tang San on the left and Yu Xiaogang on the right, and the sparse sounds could be heard incessantly.

Spending so much time in this environment, Yu Xiaogang felt a bit scared, and as a result, he didn't hold the paper properly and accidentally dropped it on the ground. He immediately picked it up and blew on it to dry it.

"hu~hu~"

The sound of blowing air reached the cubicle on the right, where a teacher was squatting, already in a bad mood due to constipation.

He shouted directly, "What are you bragging about? Does the stuff in your pit burn your mouth?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang froze on the spot, the paper in his hand falling directly into the pit. His face flushed red. "You... how could you slander someone's innocence out of thin air! I... I..." He was so angry that he couldn't say anything coherent.

"Teacher, don't worry about it! Hmm..." Tang San's voice came from the side at just the right time.

Yu Xiaogang finally regained some of his senses. When he saw where the paper in his hand had gone, the events of more than ten years ago began to replay in his mind and lingered there. In the end, he collapsed in the cubicle.

"Teacher, teacher?"

……

Ye Qiu, who was on his way, never expected that he would knock out one person by simply giving him some laxatives, and that Tang San would have to clean up Yu Xiaogang's mess.

As night deepened, Ye Qiu rode the Ironhoof Horse, a ten-year-old soul beast he had requisitioned from the forest.

With a blue silver grass dangling from his mouth, he galloped home by the moonlight.

……

In Dormitory 7, Tang San finally cleaned up the mess left by Yu Xiaogang and returned to his dormitory, exhausted.

Even though he was a little tired, as soon as he went in, his gaze fell on Xiao Wu.

"Huh?" Tang San suddenly realized that Ye Qiu's bed next to Xiao Wu was gone.

To avoid running into trouble again, he didn't directly question Xiao Wu, but instead went to Wang Sheng first. "Wang Sheng, what's going on? Didn't Xiao Wu forbid anyone from touching Ye Qiu's things? If you make Xiao Wu angry, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Third Brother!" Wang Sheng cried, his face contorted with grief. Xiao Wu was the leader of Dormitory Seven; he dared not offend her. "Xiao Wu did it herself..."

"What?" Tang San's spirits lifted. Could it be that Xiao Wu had come to her senses and was going to forget about that good-for-nothing Ye Qiu?

Xiao Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and playing with her ring, had already noticed that Tang San had returned!

From a distance, Xiao Wu shouted at him, "I threw Ye Qiu's things away, so what? You have a problem with that?"

"No, no, how could that be! Xiao Wu, whatever you do is right!" Tang San ignored Wang Sheng's slightly disdainful gaze, waving his hands frantically, completely different from before.

"really?"

"Really! It must be true!" Xiao Wu nodded quickly and finally agreed to talk to him.

"Hmph! I'm in a bad mood. Go and fetch me a basin of water to wash my feet!"

"what?"

"What? Aren't you going? Then Wang Sheng, you go!" Xiao Wu waved her hand dismissively, gesturing for Wang Sheng to hurry up.

"Wang Sheng! Stop right there! Let go of that basin... let me do it!" Tang San snatched the basin from Wang Sheng's hand and happily went to fetch water.

Watching Tang San's retreating figure, Wang Sheng's lips twitched, while Xiao Wu secretly sneered.

'What a toad lusting after a swan! Ugly as he is, yet so full of himself! The revenge has only just begun!'

She stroked the ring on her finger; she couldn't bear to throw away Ye Qiu's things, and even the bed had been put away by Xiao Wu.

Chapter 28 Warmth

Not long after, Tang San returned with a basin of water, walked quickly to Xiao Wu's bedside, and placed the basin on the ground.

Because I had been in full bloom for a long time, my body was a bit weak. Now, just getting some water made me break out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Wu, the foot bath water is back!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Wu said in a clear voice, without even glancing at him.

"It's okay, as long as you're happy..."

She didn't react at all to Tang San's affectionate gaze. Instead, she felt a little nauseous at the thought of such a jerk staring at her feet.

Tang San waited nearby.

Xiao Wu's little feet slowly touched the water's surface... then suddenly left.

"Hiss~ You bastard! Hey!" She glared at him angrily.

"Huh? What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Tang San, who was engrossed in watching, was woken up by the shout.

"Why did you fill the cup with cold water? What if you get sick?" Xiao Wu removed her small feet and put them back into the blanket.

"It's okay, I'll take care of you if you're sick..."

"So you mean you deliberately poured cold water?" Xiao Wu frowned, looking at him coldly.

"How could that be? I... I'll go fight right now!" Tang San realized he had misspoke and quickly tried to make amends.

"Hmph, then let's go..." Xiao Wu lay down and stared at the ceiling.
