Douluo Continent: A Distorted Time and Space, Taking Tang Wutong to Fight Tang San

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

Tang Wutong's voice was clear and crisp, yet sharp.

She keenly caught the fleeting tremor in Qian Renxue's eyes.

Her heart sank.

At Shrek Academy, Su Ling was always the center of attention.

That serenity, that occasional gentleness, has drawn too many gazes.

Even when she was Wang Dong'er, she couldn't help but go to the top floor of the library to look for him.

I like to see him blush slightly when I get close.

Was the way I looked at the boy back then the same as how I look at Qian Renxue now?

Qian Renxue was taken aback by the question.

She looked away awkwardly, a barely perceptible blush rising on her cheeks.

She composed herself and forced herself to regain her composure.

"It's nothing, I just felt his injuries were severe and I was curious how he managed to hold on until now."

She used reason to cover up her loss of composure.

But the irregular heartbeat in her chest betrayed her.

Tang Wutong felt a surge of anger as she looked at Qian Renxue's feigned composure.

The fact that Su Ling remained indifferent and aloof only made her angrier.

But as her gaze swept over his pale profile and the bloodstains on his clothes, and she remembered that he was seriously injured while protecting her, her anger turned into heartache.

She bit her lower lip and turned stiffly to Qian Renxue.

"Um...do you have any medicine for injuries? He...he looks like he's about to die."

Qian Renxue subconsciously looked at her grandfather.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Su Ling with a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

He disliked the sinister aura surrounding Su Ling, but it wouldn't be appropriate for the young man to die here.

More importantly, he still has too many questions that need answers.

Qian Renxue took out a white jade porcelain bottle and handed it to Tang Wutong.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Su Ling again, lingering for a moment on his cold profile before quickly looking away.

He silently thought to himself: I just don't want him to die so easily.

Tang Wutong took the medicine bottle and quickly walked to Su Ling's side.

Su Ling ignored her.

He held a grilled fish, gently waving it towards the dark bushes not far away, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.

A rustling sound came from the grass.

Tang Wutong's alarm bells rang loudly. She stepped forward, spread her arms, and stood in front of Su Ling.

"Watch out! There might be a soul beast..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ling impatiently pushed him away with one hand.

The next moment, a small beast, entirely golden in color, shaped like a puppy, with vertical eyes on its forehead, timidly poked its head out.

Its clear golden eyes first glanced warily at Tang Wutong, then were drawn in by the aroma of the grilled fish.

He sniffed hard, his eyes lighting up with surprise.

"Awoo~"

A childish cry rang out.

The three-eyed golden lion kicked off with its hind legs, transforming into a golden-red shadow as it pounced on Su Ling!

That was a powerful lunge.

Su Ling was severely injured and weak. He groaned as he was hit, his back slamming heavily against the tree trunk.

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and another mouthful of dark red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Su Ling!" Tang Wutong exclaimed, her heart clenching.

Su Ling's pale, blood-stained hand landed steadily and gently on the soft back of the three-eyed golden lion, the movement carrying an indescribable tenderness.

He held the grilled fish to the little guy's lips, his voice low and husky: "Eat."

The three-eyed golden lion seemed to realize that it had caused trouble.

Instead of immediately biting the fish, it stretched out its pink tongue and carefully licked the bloodstains from the corner of Su Ling's mouth.

It made a soothing gurgling sound in its throat, and its furry head nuzzled affectionately against his neck.

The moment Tang Wutong saw the little beast, a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

A royal auspicious beast! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

The appearance of this soul beast means that Su Ling is going to carry out his plan.

Strip her soul and stuff it into the body of this soul beast to revive the real Wang Qiu'er.

Watching Su Ling's natural affection for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and then comparing it to his coldness towards her, fear and despair overwhelmed her.

She forced a smile and handed over the medicine bottle with trembling hands.

"You...you should treat your injuries first, don't die..."

She paused, her voice choked with emotion.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not poisonous. I took it from them."

My heart was overflowing with bitterness.

She was his lover, but now she had to rely on such a lame excuse as "don't die" to get close to him.

After finishing the grilled fish, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, then went to lick Su Ling's face with a pitiful expression.

The golden vertical eyes stared at him expectantly, as if to say, "I want more."

Despite it being their first meeting, the deep-seated kinship made it want to get close to this human without reservation.

Su Ling could clearly sense that familiar, suppressed anger emanating from not far away—Gu Yuena was watching from the shadows.

He sighed inwardly and gently patted the three-eyed golden lion's little head.

"Let's finish eating and leave, there's nothing left."

The little guy raised his head in dissatisfaction, making a "hoo~" protesting sound, as if to say:

I've been pursuing you for so long, and this is how you're going to send me away?

Then it tilted its head, blinked its golden eyes, and said clearly in an innocent tone:

"Human, I love you."

……

Everything around seemed to stand still.

The crackling of the campfire and the rustling of leaves in the wind disappeared.

All eyes were focused on the auspicious imperial beast that uttered such startling words.

The three-eyed golden lion continued to frantically lick Su Ling's face to express its affection.

"You're injured. Come back with me. I'll have Aunt Brigitte treat you."

Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted slightly.

He had already sensed the extraordinary nature of this little beast; the power of its destiny was as vast as the sea.

Hearing it speak human language at this moment further confirmed its identity.

The core of the Star Dou Great Forest: the Imperial Auspicious Beast!

Qian Renxue was completely stunned, her beautiful face filled with astonishment.

This soul beast's cultivation level isn't extremely high, so why can it speak human language clearly?

And...is it confessing its feelings to Su Ling?

After a brief moment of shock, Tang Wutong was overcome with boundless despair and self-mockery.

She felt like a joke, a substitute destined to be replaced.

In the shadows, Gu Yuena gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke.

She stared intently at the little beast that was snuggling and acting cute in Su Ling's arms.

Anger, jealousy, and the despair of betrayal surged forth!

Why should I?!

Why should this idiot get to be touched so easily?

But he could only hide in the shadows and suffer the pain of being told "I don't know you"!

"Don't... touch him!" she screamed in her heart.

Strands of electric light emanated from his body, causing the space around him to distort slightly.

If it weren't for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion being bound to the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, she would definitely have wiped out this little thing!

Su Ling was also taken aback by the confession.

But he could also understand this blood ties.

When I lost my memory, wasn't it precisely because of this that I fell in love with Wang Qiu'er?

He sighed and gently took the little one into his arms.

But the next moment, as if drawn by a power of the same origin, Su Ling's brow suddenly felt burning hot!

A golden, vertical eye-shaped phantom appeared, radiating brilliant light!

At the same time, a golden skull radiating the pulse of destiny.

And a 100,000-year-old soul ring wreathed in blood-red light.

Forcefully breaking through the suppression, it hovered in the air!

Because Su Ling was seriously injured, the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was greatly reduced, and it could no longer suppress the power of destiny originating from Wang Qiu'er!
