Chapter 53: Dai Mubai Dies! Snowflakes drifted, the northern wind howled, and the world was covered in desolation~~!

"I… don't have an old lover." Xiao Wu was deeply conflicted.

If she acted too eager to see Tang San, what if Xue Tianyu got angry and killed him?

She was also terrified that if she saw Tang San, his emotions might take over, and he would recklessly try to fight Xue Tianyu…

Then he wouldn't survive!

Xiao Wu felt a deep sorrow as she realized she had no choice.

Only by offering herself could she protect her Brother San.

"You don't?"

Xue Tianyu crossed his arms and looked down at the bottomless ravine.

Xiao Wu froze, not knowing what to do.

"Enough, stop wasting time," Xue Tianyu said.

"Mm…"

Xiao Wu lowered her head and stood up, pulling on her white stockings until they reached her thighs before cleaning off the dirt on her body.

"Let's go."

As Xiao Wu stepped out, wearing barely enough to cover her three forbidden areas, Xue Tianyu frowned.

If he took her outside like this, it wouldn't just be the crowd outside the hotel—seeing her like this would also leave a bad impression on Shui Bing'er and the other girls.

"You don't have any clothes left?" Xue Tianyu stopped Xiao Wu.

Caught off guard, Xiao Wu stumbled into him.

"My… my outer coat was torn apart by you," she said pitifully.

When she first came looking for Xue Tianyu, she had been wearing a coat—the same one Tang San had seen her in when they met.

But that coat had been ruined when she tried to sneak up on Xue Tianyu and use her Eight-Stage Throw, only to have him effortlessly restrain her with his jade-like foot.

Wearing it now was no different from not wearing anything.

Xue Tianyu was speechless. He found a white shirt of his and handed it to her.

Although the shirt was quite sheer, and a closer look would reveal her pink lingerie underneath, at least it was better than nothing.

Wearing Xue Tianyu's white shirt, Xiao Wu felt slightly suffocated.

But she had no choice. She didn't dare unbutton the top, or else everything would be exposed to the people outside.

"Let's go."

Xue Tianyu led Xiao Wu out of the room.

Even though she had tried to cover herself as much as possible, her revealing outfit was still incredibly tempting.

Xiao Wu kept tugging at the hem of the white shirt, trying to hide more of herself.

'I can't drag Brother San into this…'

She sneaked a glance at Xue Tianyu beside her and made a decision in her heart.

'Forgive me, Brother San. For you to survive, I have to do this.'

"Xiao Wu!!!"

The moment Tang San saw Xiao Wu come out, a relieved smile spread across his face.

"Do you know how hard I've been looking for you?!"

Xiao Wu saw his excitement and bit her lip, her gaze shifting away.

"I didn't ask you to look for me…"

Tang San froze. "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

"Were you forced by this Xue Tianyu?"

In Tang San's memory, Xiao Wu shouldn't be acting like this.

But Xiao Wu took a step closer to Xue Tianyu, deliberately pressing herself against his arm.

Xue Tianyu frowned and immediately pulled his arm away without any regard for her.

Xiao Wu's face instantly showed disappointment.

Tang San stood there, dumbfounded.

"No, Xiao Wu, you…"

Xiao Wu pouted, acting as if she was reluctant to even glance at him.

"Don't look for me anymore. I came here willingly."

"Willingly?"

Tang San couldn't accept it.

He had never believed Xue Tianyu's words about Xiao Wu enjoying herself.

He had always thought Xiao Wu was being forced and had been doing everything he could to save her.

But reality had just delivered him a heavy blow.

"Go. We're not right for each other."

Xiao Wu hesitantly clutched the white shirt, her movements accentuating her figure.

"I already belong to Brother Tianyu."

"No!!!!"

Tang San collapsed to his knees, dazed.

At that moment, a familiar song echoed in his mind:

"True love is as vast as the grasslands~

Layers of storms cannot stop it~

Snowflakes drift, the northern wind howls~

The world is covered in desolation~"

No words could describe the pain in his heart.

Seeing Tang San in such despair, Xiao Wu felt immense sorrow inside.

'I had no choice, Brother San. Even though I'm disappointed in your reaction, I still love you.'

'This is how I love you. I have to protect you so you can live on…'

However, Tang San had no idea what she was thinking.

He stared blankly at her, dressed in a sheer white shirt that barely fit her, and at the collar around her neck.

'What is this? Some kind of… master-and-pet game?'

Tang San's heart began to crumble.

Through the sheer fabric, he could vaguely see Xiao Wu's pink lingerie. Paired with the collar and the oversized shirt that clearly belonged to Xue Tianyu…

Everything was obvious.

Xiao Wu had never worn lingerie like that for him!

Yet now, for the sake of being with Xue Tianyu, she was wearing such provocative clothing!

At that moment, he felt like his world was falling apart.

"Haha… I really am a fool…"

"I'm such a clown!"

"I'm nothing but a clown!!!"

Tang San wept in utter despair, his heart shattered into pieces.

"Zhuqing! Wake up!"

As Tang San grieved, Zhu Zhuqing, instead of showing sympathy, gazed at Xiao Wu with envy, as if she wished she were the one standing beside Xue Tianyu.

Dai Mubai looked at his goddess, completely infatuated with another man.

And that man had even played with Xiao Wu.

"He's a demon…"

Dai Mubai clenched his teeth so hard they almost cracked as he forced out those words.

He thought he was being careful, only mouthing the words with his head lowered, believing everyone's attention was on Xiao Wu.

But Xue Tianyu saw it all clearly.

"Hmm???"

Xue Tianyu raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

He slowly approached Dai Mubai.

By now, Dai Mubai was already gravely injured.

If not for his White Tiger Martial Soul's physical enhancements, he would have already passed out.

Seeing Xue Tianyu approach, memories of his overwhelming power filled Dai Mubai's mind, and fear took hold once again.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing showed no concern for Dai Mubai's condition. Instead, her eyes burned with admiration for Xue Tianyu.

Dai Mubai looked at his own battered body, then at Zhu Zhuqing, and suddenly, he struggled to his knees.

"Give Zhuqing back to me! You already have Xiao Wu, why take my goddess too?"

"And weren't those two women who showed up earlier enough for you? I'm begging you…"

Dai Mubai had seen it with his own eyes—those two women, radiating an icy beauty, were absolute peerless beauties.

Yet he didn't realize that, to Xue Tianyu, comparing the Ice and Snow Empresses to Xiao Wu was nothing short of an insult.

Xue Tianyu grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar and lifted him off the ground.

"Looks like you have no reason to keep living."

Xue Tianyu twisted Dai Mubai's arm, then pressed a finger to his heart.

"Ah!!!" Dai Mubai's agonized scream echoed.

The next moment, his entire body was encased in ice, his life completely extinguished.
