Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 17, The Second Martial Soul

From his angle, you can only see his back.

Meng Bei and Xiao Wu were sitting together on the carpet on the floor.

Meng Bei hoisted Xiao Wu's two long, white-stockinged legs onto his shoulders, holding her two jade-like feet in his hands, while Xiao Wu was bent at a 90° angle, her body pressed tightly against Meng Bei.

The two were swaying in strange movements, which was enough to make anyone furious.

"what!"

Tang San felt a rush of blood to his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His beloved Xiao Wu, whom he cherished like a precious jewel, was being carelessly violated in this manner.

Tang San could no longer hold back and kicked the door open.

"You adulterous couple, Meng Bei, what else do you have to say? Die!"

Tang San roared in despair, a small black hammer appearing in his hand, which he swung directly at Meng Bei.

Meng Bei and Xiao Wu were immediately frightened and separated.

Tang San was stunned upon seeing this, and the hammer instantly retracted into his body.

"You, you guys, so you didn't do that kind of thing after all."

Tang San said, extremely embarrassed.

It turned out that although Meng Bei and Xiao Wu were in an ambiguous position, they were both wearing neat clothes, which was not what Tang San thought at all.

At this moment, Meng Bei's plan was more than half completed.

Xiao Wu then left as agreed.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Wu slapped Tang San across the face.

"Third Brother, I never imagined you would see me this way. I hate you. This is the last time I'll call you Third Brother!"

With that, Xiao Wu wiped away her tears, turned around, and ran out.

Tang San wanted to give chase, but in the darkness, he only saw Xiao Wu jump twice before disappearing without a trace. Dragging his injured body, it was clear that he could not catch up with Xiao Wu.

Meng Bei also let out a long sigh at this moment.

"Sigh, Third Brother, didn't I already tell you? There's nothing between me and Sister Xiaowu. I... sigh!"

Meng Bei pointed at Tang San and sighed repeatedly.

Tang San himself was also filled with remorse.

"Xiao Bei, it's all my fault now, but your actions were really misunderstood. I... I had no choice! Why would you do that in the middle of the night?"

Seeing this, Meng Bei sighed deeply and explained:

"Sigh, Third Brother, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Meng Bei recounted the "truth" in detail.

"Actually, what Sister Xiaowu and I did was for cultivation."

"Cultivation?"

Tang San found it hard to believe.

That's not how you cultivate yourself. Not meditating is one thing, but making those kinds of movements is quite another.

Meng Bei explained this in detail.

"This is a special cultivation method of our family called Jade Rabbit Embracing the Moon. Sister Xiaowu and my martial soul complement each other and are very compatible. As long as we cultivate according to the movements we just made, my soul power cultivation speed will be several times faster than the normal cultivation speed. However, the price is that Sister Xiaowu's cultivation speed will be affected as a result."

"It's just that the posture is rather unusual, and to avoid misunderstandings from those with impure intentions, Sister Xiaowu and I practice at night when no one is around. We never expected..."

As he spoke, Meng Bei glanced at Tang San.

Tang San smiled sheepishly, feeling guilty. Although he had not yet verified Meng Bei's statement, he believed Meng Bei's words almost entirely at this point.

There is one minor thing I still have some doubts about.

Tang San decided to get to the bottom of things and voiced his doubts.

"You said you'd give me a satisfactory answer by the end of the month, right?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei instantly activated his Martial Soul, unleashing a powerful aura.

"With the cultivation method passed down in my family, I have now reached level 36. I originally planned to take advantage of these next ten days or so to see if I could level up a few more times and give everyone a surprise, but I never expected..."

Tang San sensed that Meng Bei's soul power far surpassed his own, and this time he had no more doubts.

[Ding! Side quest complete. You have obtained your second Martial Soul, the Measuring Ruler.]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Meng Bei was overjoyed.

The name "Measuring Ruler" sounds incredibly sophisticated!

It's at least much stronger than his original martial soul, an ordinary snow rabbit!

Meng Bei couldn't wait to check out his new martial soul.

However, before that, Tang San must be driven out first.

So Meng Bei deliberately feigned impatience, looked at Tang San, and said:

"Third Brother, so much has happened today, I'm exhausted, and I'm sure you're not relaxed either. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San knew that Meng Bei was trying to drive the guests away.

Given the huge misunderstanding he caused today, Meng Bei's attitude is already very polite.

Tang San felt guilty and showed no dissatisfaction; instead, he bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Bei, I was too impulsive. I didn't understand the truth of the matter before... Anyway, I'm so sorry, I have to go now."

With that, Tang San hurriedly walked out.

"Oh, right!"

Tang San suddenly turned back, looked at Meng Bei, and then left behind a bag of gold soul coins.

"Um, I broke the door. Here's the money for you to fix it."

Tang San scratched his head sheepishly, then left.

Meng Bei finally felt relieved and returned to his room. After checking that no one was around, he carefully released his second martial soul.

It was a lapis lazuli ruler, about three feet long, simple yet beautiful. The top of the ruler was painted with the Milky Way, the middle with mountains and buildings, and the bottom with the earth's veins and rivers.

However, the only flaw was that the ruler had four cracks on its body, dividing the entire ruler into five sections.

Although the ruler was pieced back together, the crack did not disappear, as if an eternal flaw was branded on the ruler.

Suddenly, his blood vessels throbbed slightly, and someone was approaching from outside. Meng Bei quickly pulled the ruler back into his body.

The next moment, Xiao Wu jumped in from outside.

"How's it going? Is the plan progressing smoothly?"

"Of course, Tang San has dispelled his doubts, and he even feels very guilty towards you!"

As Meng Bei spoke, he stepped forward and took Xiao Wu's hand.

"Staying here tonight?"

Xiao Wu hesitated upon hearing this.

"My third brother trusts me so much, how could I... Oh, what are you doing!"

Xiao Wu pushed Meng Bei's hand away in surprise.

It turned out that Meng Bei had already untied her waist corset.

Seeing this, Meng Bei said:

"Xiao Wu, it's precisely because Tang San trusts you so much that you can't betray his trust. If you don't stay here today, wouldn't you be wasting the opportunity that he trusts you so much?"

Xiao Wu hesitated upon hearing this.

"So... this is how trust is explained?"

"Alright, alright, Xiao Wu, be a good girl!"

As he spoke, Meng Bei stepped forward and took off Xiao Wu's shorts.

Before long, Xiao Wu fell into a daze again.

"Third Brother... I'm sorry, Xiao Wu couldn't help it, again... again... But you'll forgive Xiao Wu, right?"

Meanwhile, Tang San was standing in front of Xiao Wu's dormitory, repenting.

He was wrong; he shouldn't have doubted Xiao Wu.

He decided that as long as Xiao Wu didn't come back, he would stand here and punish himself for his mistakes!

Xiao Wu did not return after one night.

Tang San stood facing the morning dew, his wounds tearing open, drying, and then tearing open again, causing him unbearable pain. As the sun rose, the morning dew was evaporated by the sunlight.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky again that Xiao Wu finally came into view.

The moment Tang San saw Xiao Wu, he finally smiled with relief.

"Xiao Wu has forgiven me!"

Thinking this, Tang San's vision went black, and he fainted again.

He vaguely noticed something: he remembered that Xiao Wu was wearing white stockings yesterday, but why were her legs bare today?

He might have misremembered.

Tang San didn't think much of it.
