Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

A Special Kind of Affection?

Xue Di froze for a moment. "Tianyu, you…"

Xue Tianyu took the opportunity to grasp Xue Di's hand, gazing deeply into her eyes.

"I truly like you."

This was the first time Xue Tianyu had ever confessed so seriously.

After all, there was no blood relation between them. Having spent so many years together, Xue Tianyu had long developed special feelings for Xue Di.

With the atmosphere just right, Xue Tianyu naturally took the chance to confess.

However, Xue Di was completely flustered in that instant.

"Tianyu, this…"

"Isn't this… a bit too fast?"

Xue Di felt numb inside.

A confession so soon…

She wasn't prepared for this at all.

This was… way too intense, wasn't it?

A blush spread across Xue Di's face.

"Why… is that not okay?" Xue Tianyu asked tenderly, watching Xue Di.

Seeing that Xue Tianyu wasn't joking, Xue Di knew she couldn't brush this off.

She cupped Xue Tianyu's face in her hands and gave a gentle smile. "Tianyu, let's talk about this after you've completed your revenge, okay?"

"Why not now?"

Xue Tianyu pressed for an answer.

"I need some time." Xue Di was honest, not avoiding the topic.

Xue Tianyu understood.

They both needed time for this.

But since everything was out in the open now, he didn't hesitate to pull Xue Di into his arms.

At this moment, Xue Di was like a little girl, leaning on Xue Tianyu's shoulder, the corners of her lips slightly upturned, her gaze a little dreamy.

After a while, Xue Di left.

Xue Tianyu, thinking about the upcoming matches, felt it was time to check his accumulated rewards.

Since the first day he encountered Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from Blazing Academy, Xue Tianyu had participated in every battle. Besides maintaining control over unexpected situations, he had another reason—sign-ins.

Signing in with Huo Wu had rewarded him with a Blazing Apricot Delicate Jade.

Signing in with Huo Wushuang had only slightly enhanced his fire resistance.

As for the other nameless Blazing Academy team members, Xue Tianyu didn't even bother signing in.

If there was a grand prize among his recent rewards, it had to be from signing in with Tang San.

At the thought, Xue Tianyu took out a pitch-black collar.

It was one of the two rewards he received from signing in with Tang San.

A divine artifact—Illusion Collar.

This collar was designed for controlling soul beasts.

No matter how strong a soul beast was, as long as it was wearing this collar, it would fall completely under Xue Tianyu's control.

Every word he spoke would be an unbreakable command, as if it were a sacred decree.

This was absolute control from the depths of the soul.

A soul beast under this collar could never betray him, and its every action would be dictated by his will.

Moreover, the artifact could adjust its size according to the soul beast's physique.

In other words, even if it was a dragon, the collar would still fit.

So, when he signed in with Tang San and received this item, Xue Tianyu was quite pleased.

But he had barely used it.

The reason?

While everything about the Illusion Collar was amazing, there was one fatal flaw—

Its appearance was just too… suggestive.

Xue Tianyu was surrounded by beautiful women. If any of them saw this thing, he'd die of embarrassment on the spot.

Besides the collar, the second reward from signing in with Tang San was rather ordinary—

A soul power increase.

However, the increase was quite significant.

Now, Xue Tianyu's soul power had reached Level 97.

As for other sign-in rewards, they were becoming less impressive to him.

For example, all those maxed-out immortal herbs…

Xue Tianyu had already emptied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and didn't lack herbs at all.

Still, something was better than nothing.

…

Hotel Where the Shrek Academy Team Was Staying

Xiao Wu was recovering in the hotel.

It had been a long time since she got injured.

Thanks to her hundred-thousand-year soul beast recovery abilities, she was now completely healed.

With Tang San and the others out, Xiao Wu started scheming.

She just needed to locate the hotel where Tianshui Academy was staying and find Xue Tianyu.

With her peerless beauty and irresistibly alluring figure, she was sure she could get close to him.

To put it bluntly—she planned to seduce Xue Tianyu.

He was just a man.

There was no way he could resist her charms.

As long as she got close enough, she could execute her Eight Stage Drop!

One Eight Stage Drop, and Xue Tianyu would be crippled beyond recognition!

Just like how she dealt with Bu Le back then!

At the thought, Xiao Wu immediately put on her sexiest, most revealing, skimpiest, and most seductive pink lingerie.

She had originally planned to wear this when she finally conquered Tang San.

But now, her first time wearing it… was to seduce Xue Tianyu.

However, for the sake of revenge, she didn't care.

After dressing up, she covered herself with a cloak before heading out.

After all, she didn't want random men on the street getting a free show.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped outside—

She ran into Tang San.

From a distance, Tang San immediately recognized Xiao Wu.

"Hm? Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

He asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Wu was speechless.

She had calculated the timing perfectly to avoid Tang San, yet he had returned so soon.

She absolutely couldn't let him realize she was wearing lingerie meant to seduce another man, so she had to make up an excuse.

"Uh… I'm mostly recovered."

"Then where are you going?" Tang San was puzzled.

Seeing her like this, he instinctively tried to hug her.

"Wait… I'm not feeling too well right now. I don't want anyone touching me." Xiao Wu dodged.

Tang San didn't overthink it.

After all, when people were sick, they usually disliked physical contact.

Since Xiao Wu's injuries had mostly healed, he figured she'd soon be ready to compete again.

That made him happy.

Soon, Shrek Academy would be at full power!

"Make sure to rest well and don't run around too much," Tang San reminded her. "We still need you for the tournament."

"I know…"

Xiao Wu was a little nervous and had to lie.

"I haven't picked up my allowance from Spirit Hall this month, so I'm going to get it. I'll be back soon."

Tang San nodded. It made sense.

So he simply reminded her, "Alright, go quickly and come back soon. We need you back in the matches."

"Mm-hmm!"

Xiao Wu responded quickly and hurried away.

Watching Tang San return to the hotel, she immediately changed direction and headed straight for the hotel where Tianshui Academy was staying.

In her mind, she was just going to get revenge on Xue Tianyu—

If everything went smoothly, it would take even less time than collecting her allowance.

As she walked, she was already planning what to do after completely crippling Xue Tianyu.

Little did she know—

This trip would be a one-way journey…
