Chapter 196: Su Ming: Tang San, Here's a Metaphorical Hat for You

At this moment, Tang San had no idea that the soft moans he heard coming from Su Ming's room last night were actually from Xiao Wu. In his mind, Xiao Wu was still just a twelve-year-old girl, and he couldn't imagine her doing something like that.

Xiao Wu: Actually, I'm several thousand years old.

The real reason was Su Ming's incredible stamina, enhanced by his "Golden Saint Seiya" abilities. Xiao Wu was utterly overwhelmed by him, and the only way she could cope with the intense sensations was through her "screams."

Right now, Tang San was scheming in his mind. He thought that, at the right time, he would secretly tell Xiao Wu that Su Ming had been with another woman in the hotel the previous night.

Although Tang San had no proof, and Xiao Wu wasn't that close to him, he believed that planting the seed of doubt was enough to cause trouble.

What Tang San didn't realize was that there was an invisible green hat hanging above his head, glowing brightly (see image).

Su Ming: Is it possible that the woman was Xiao Wu herself? Surprise!

Inside the room, Su Ming noticed that dawn was breaking, and they would need to return to the academy soon. Xiao Wu had to return to her room before anyone noticed.

Following the same routine as the night before, Xiao Wu carefully opened the door, checked the hallway, and seeing no one, teleported directly to her room, locking the door behind her in one swift motion.

Once Xiao Wu left, Su Ming calmed himself and hurried to clean up any traces of their "training" from the room, making sure no one would notice anything suspicious.

Knock, knock.

Just as Su Ming finished tidying up the room, someone knocked on the door.

"Su Ming, it's time to head back to the academy."

Hearing the voice, Su Ming recognized it as Tang San.

Thankfully, he had cleaned up the room in time, stowing away items like maid outfits and torn stockings into his storage ring.

But Su Ming couldn't help but feel a strange sense of thrill, like the excitement of nearly getting caught in the act.

No, no, I'm not a third wheel. Xiao Wu is mine now! I'm just giving Tang San a perfectly good imaginary hat!

"Got it, Tang San. I'll be out in a moment," Su Ming called out to Tang San outside.

As the door opened, Tang San tried to discreetly glance into the room, but to his surprise, it was spotless, as if nothing had happened.

Su Ming noticed Tang San's little attempt and casually asked, "Tang San, what are you looking at?"

Tang San snapped back, "Oh, nothing. Just looking around."

Su Ming, of course, didn't believe him. He figured that the sounds from last night must have reached Tang San's sharp senses. The hotel's soundproofing wasn't great, and Tang San must have heard something.

Tang San's face right now tells me he's brewing something bad.

But Su Ming didn't care. After all, he had thoroughly enjoyed last night.

One word: smooth.

Two words: really smooth.

Three words: Tang San's future wife is smooth!

As Su Ming glanced at Tang San, a wave of emotion stirred inside him.

After gathering everyone, the group started their journey back to Shrek Academy. Along the way, Tang San kept sneaking glances at Xiao Wu, trying to figure out the right time to speak to her.

Back at the academy, Su Ming immediately took Ning Rongrong to continue their training in order to master the Ling Bo Wei Bu technique as soon as possible.

Ning Rongrong knew the importance of mastering this movement technique, so she put aside her curiosity for now, though she was already planning to have some fun teasing Xiao Wu later that night.

Xiao Wu suddenly felt a chill, shivering as if something bad was going to happen.

But she shrugged it off. After last night's "training" with Su Ming, she was feeling more energetic than ever.

So instead of cultivating soul power, Xiao Wu decided to use a system-provided acceleration card to focus on mastering the Feng Shen Leg Technique.

What she didn't notice was Zhu Zhuqing giving her a strange look. Unlike Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't one to openly tease, but she knew that one day Ning Rongrong would have to pay for all her teasing of Xiao Wu. Happiness is only temporary!

As night fell once again, after a full day of training, Su Ming was exhausted. Teaching someone really was hard work. If it weren't for his desire to improve Ning Rongrong's impression of him, he wouldn't be putting in so much effort.

If it had been a guy, Su Ming would have demonstrated a few times and then let him figure it out on his own.

Thanks to Su Ming's dedication, Ning Rongrong was making rapid progress. Plus, the occasional physical contact during training made the effort worthwhile for him!

As for Ning Rongrong, she didn't mind the contact. After all, Su Ming was seriously teaching her, so giving a little "benefit" seemed only fair.

Later that evening, in the girls' dormitory, Ning Rongrong returned to her room, utterly exhausted.

She didn't feel like moving at all. While the Ling Bo Wei Bu technique didn't consume much soul power once mastered, she hadn't reached that stage yet. After a full day of both physical and mental strain, she was thoroughly worn out. As an auxiliary-type soul master, the intensity of the training was much higher than she was used to.

But thinking about what had happened between Xiao Wu and Su Ming the previous night gave her a new burst of energy. If she didn't tease Xiao Wu about it tonight, she might miss her chance!

She loved seeing Xiao Wu's face turn red—it was simply too adorable!

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing came out of their room, noticing Ning Rongrong's tired state.

Xiao Wu grinned, "How did the training go today, Rongrong?"

Ning Rongrong sat up, still tired, and replied, "I'm not sure. I guess it went okay. But it feels like I'm still missing something. If I can figure it out, I should be able to master it!"

Xiao Wu encouraged her, "Keep it up, Rongrong! Once you master it, you'll at least have a way to protect yourself. And who knows, maybe in the future you'll even have an attack skill!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, "Really? If I can have an attack skill someday, that would be amazing. Especially if it's long-range!"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I'm sure it's possible! As long as you keep following Su Ming-gege, maybe someday either he or the system will help you gain offensive abilities!"
