In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 276 A New "Golden Love Triangle" is Born

"I……"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's face showed slight embarrassment, especially when he noticed that the third person's gaze, which was filled with a sense of existential doubt mixed with a murderous intent, made him feel not only awkward but also strange.

"Hahaha, Yuhao, this Tang San might have some issues, but your mother-in-law is definitely the original, unopened product! It's so funny, so awesome!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so happy she was practically going crazy.

"Forget about Tang Wutong and Dong'er in this life. How about trying to win over this Xiao Wu?"

"...Heavens! Dream! Bro! If you keep this up, I'm going to block you."

"Tch, you hypocrite... Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, Yuhao, just stop it!"

Feeling his mental sea finally clear, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Having become a god once and currently possessing strength roughly on par with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it wasn't difficult for him to temporarily mobilize his mental power to block out Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's incessant chatter.

But when he met Xiao Wu's burning gaze, a feeling of nervousness instantly welled up in his heart again.

"Little Sister Wu, my bedding is only enough for one person... If you want it, you can take it. My home is in Notting City, and I can go home another day to get another one."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu blinked and looked at Huo Yuhao's slightly immature and handsome face. She felt a rare surge of warmth in her heart after three months of walking in human society.

She shook her head, and a rare hint of evasion and complexity appeared in her eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao. In the end, she said, "Forget it, Yuhao, I'll just go to the market outside the academy to buy one later."

"Xiao Wu, there's really no need to go through all that trouble..."

Tang San jumped out again at this moment.

Xiao Wu glanced at him, her face instantly showing a hint of impatience.

"I just told you to call me Sister Xiaowu. Even the older students like Yuhao and Wang Sheng remember that. Why don't you ever learn?"

Tang San's face stiffened.

Sister Xiao Wu... No! Xiao Wu!

You are my lover, my sister!

In my past life, even though Wang Sheng and his group called you Sister Xiao Wu, you always made me call you Xiao Wu. Why did things turn out like this?

Just as Tang San was about to start questioning his life again, and even showing signs of turning to the dark side, Xiao Wu's voice rang out one after another.

"Tang San".

"If you keep being so forgetful, you might as well never call me again, and I won't talk to you anymore."

Tang San: ?!

As if sensing the coldness in Xiao Wu's voice, Tang San paused, remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke with difficulty, calling out, "Xiao Wu... Sister."

"Hmm~"

Xiao Wu then squinted and nodded.

"That's more like it, Little Sanzi."

"As long as you behave, we can still be good roommates, and it's even possible that we'll become good friends in the future."

Tang San: "..."

He didn't say anything more for the time being, so Xiao Wu stopped "pressuring" him and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, if I go out to buy bedding later, will you come with me?"

"what……"

Meeting Xiao Wu's gaze, which held a hint of pitifulness yet was also incredibly moving, Huo Yuhao was momentarily dazed and nodded as if possessed.

"Yay! Yuhao, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

Xiao Wu then smiled broadly and put her arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Tang San, who was not far away, reached out his hand, but seeing that the two did not have any overly intimate contact, he ultimately did not do anything.

As Huo Yuhao dodged Xiao Wu's increasingly brazen approach, he vaguely noticed Tang San lowering his hand. Tang San's eyes were filled with a complex emotion, and a dark side within him suddenly emerged, giving Huo Yuhao a wicked sense of pleasure.

He quickly regulated his emotions and calmed himself down. However, that strange sense of pleasure he had just experienced left an extremely deep mark on his heart, which he would occasionally relive in the days that followed.

"Tsk tsk, this is so interesting, it's practically a classic love triangle scene."

Further away, Wang Zhao leisurely lay down, pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on, then took out a bag of sunflower seeds.

"I remember a guy in my past life who loved writing about love triangles, but he never actually did anything to Tang San and Xiao Wu, the main characters, and he even felt a little regretful about it. I never thought I'd actually get to see it with my own eyes in this life..."

A short while later, Wang Sheng from Dormitory Seven spoke up: "It's time for lunch. Sister Xiao Wu, Huo Yuhao, and Tang San, let's go together."

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately agreed excitedly. Tang San and Huo Yuhao also did not refuse, since Wang Sheng patted his chest and said that he would treat them to this meal.

A group of children quickly walked out of Dormitory 7, chatting with each other from time to time. However, Tang San and Huo Yuhao walked in silence, their eyes inadvertently revealing a deep look, as if they were thinking about something. Even Xiao Wu occasionally glanced at Huo Yuhao and Tang San, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Observing closely from a third-person perspective, this group of children, who should have been innocent and naive, suddenly seemed to have three scheming individuals mixed in with them.

Huo Yuhao had already lifted the shield against Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. While walking silently alone without communicating with anyone else, he was naturally talking to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. The two of them were now talking about "Tang San".

"Alas, it's a pity that Tang San didn't continue fighting you just now. Otherwise, when I used the power that I was helping you nurture, I could have caught that little God King San off guard and let him experience what it's like to be taught a lesson with a black eye and a swollen face."

"Brother Tianmeng, there's no need to waste that power on something like this."

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Of course there is, and it's absolutely necessary!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, however, said it was only natural.

"Yuhao, as the saying goes, a person fights for their pride. Back then, Tang San blocked your path to ascend to the God Realm and bullied you, a new god, in front of all those gods. He chased you so hard that you had to run around everywhere. He didn't give you, his son-in-law, any face at all. I've always remembered that for you."

"And another thing, his extremely flexible bottom line. One second he's saying that as a dignified God King and Enforcer of the Divine Realm, he can't break the law, and the next second he's doing something that violates the rules of the Divine Realm by forcibly descending to the mortal realm to manifest and interfere in the continent's conflicts. Have you forgotten all of this? And Xu Yunhan..."

That's enough.

Huo Yuhao's fist clenched, his eyes shifted, and finally he silently looked towards the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, or perhaps to himself, and said:

"I understand. There will be other opportunities in the future..."
