Tang San had run off to the bathroom again.
It had to be said, Tang San was quite resilient. Even with that enormous fox tail strapped behind her, she had managed to lead Xiao Ye Xuan around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well twice.
After Xiao Ye Xuan released her, Tang San immediately rushed into the bathroom.
Recently, Xiao Ye Xuan had noticed that Tang San had a peculiar fondness for hiding in the bathroom.
She stayed in there for quite a while each time, and almost every time after being punished by Xiao Ye Xuan, Tang San would retreat into the bathroom.
It reminded Xiao Ye Xuan of a certain line:
"The only places one can cry are the bathroom and in their father's embrace."
Xiao Ye Xuan simply assumed that Tang San, overwhelmed by humiliation, was sneaking into the bathroom to weep in secret.
But what Xiao Ye Xuan would never guess was that the ever-"pure and virtuous" Tang San wasn't shedding tears from her eyes.
Otherwise, his jaw would've hit the floor in shock.
...
Time passed quickly. Over the past two days, Xiao Ye Xuan had been taking Tang San out daily to exercise on the fitness equipment.
Each time, after tying her up by the tail and hanging her upside down from the equipment, he would leave.
And each time, he wouldn't return until very late.
This was all to give Tang San the chance to visit A Yin.
However, Tang San had remarkable patience. It wasn't until three days later that she finally sneaked off to see A Yin.
Seeing A Yin, her mother, brought Tang San immense joy—enough to last her for a long, long time.
Even if it meant enduring Xiao Ye Xuan's later, merciless punishments, Tang San was no longer afraid.
She truly wanted to be with her mother forever.
And this time, there was something even more exciting for Tang San—she learned about the past between A Yin and Tang Hao.
Specifically, the matter of sacrifice.
Back then, several Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall had ambushed A Yin and Tang Hao.
At the critical moment, A Yin had sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, enabling him to break through to Title Douluo.
Tang Hao's hundred-thousand-year soul ring had come from A Yin's sacrifice.
This made Tang San think of Xiao Wu.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast could sacrifice everything unconditionally to another, and the recipient could effortlessly absorb the soul ring and soul bone from the sacrifice.
Tang San's mind raced with possibilities.
If Xiao Wu were to sacrifice herself to her, Tang San wouldn't just gain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—she'd also obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!
The mere thought thrilled her.
Moreover, if Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, she would belong to Tang San forever, and Xiao Ye Xuan would no longer be able to treat her as a plaything.
After getting all the details from A Yin, Tang San hurried back.
She had been very obedient lately, never wandering off without reason, so Xiao Ye Xuan allowed her considerable freedom when he wasn't around.
Soon, Tang San returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was still bound by vines, her movements restricted.
In Tang San's eyes, Xiao Ye Xuan had done this to prevent Xiao Wu from escaping.
After all, Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—who knew what kind of trouble she'd stir up if given the same freedom as Tang San?
Tang San also realized it had been a while since she last visited Xiao Wu.
Because, in Xiao Ye Xuan's eyes, Xiao Wu was nothing more than an infinite rabbit meat generator.
Sure, he sometimes played with her as a toy.
But Xiao Ye Xuan was terrifyingly resourceful—whenever Xiao Wu got "damaged" during their "games," he would simply remove the broken parts and regenerate them.
With the abundant life energy in this place, even if Xiao Wu's head were chopped off, she could be revived, let alone minor injuries.
Xiao Wu was on the verge of despair, nearly broken.
But she still had one source of comfort—Tang San.
As long as she kept thinking about Tang San, and how the rabbit meat taken from her body became Tang San's meals, it was almost as if she and Tang San were merging into one.
That made it slightly more bearable.
Still, Xiao Wu felt lonely. Her beloved San Ge had rarely come to see her lately.
It made her overthink.
Of course, most of her worries were for Tang San—perhaps Xiao Ye Xuan was the reason she hadn't visited, or maybe the punishments were too severe, or worse, Xiao Ye Xuan was dragging her into his "games."
It never crossed Xiao Wu's mind that Tang San might no longer want her.
But reality was cruel.
Tang San had indeed been planning to forget about Xiao Wu.
Originally, Xiao Wu's purpose had been to serve as an excuse for Tang San to search for legendary poisons in the herb garden while pretending to gather medicine for her injuries.
But now, Xiao Ye Xuan handled all of Xiao Wu's injuries, making Tang San's role unnecessary.
Moreover, with Xiao Ye Xuan often absent, Tang San could roam the herb garden freely—she no longer needed Xiao Wu at all.
If not for A Yin mentioning the sacrifice, Tang San might never have sought Xiao Wu out again.
But now, Tang San needed Xiao Wu's power.
She had to find a way to manipulate Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself.
Once she gained that strength, she could finally escape.
So today, Tang San stood before Xiao Wu once more.
Xiao Wu was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
"San Ge… San Ge! I'm so glad you're okay!"
Her concern was genuine.
Tang San nodded, then knelt beside Xiao Wu.
(Why not sit directly? Because sitting with that giant fox tail every day must be agony, right?)
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry you've suffered here."
Tang San wanted to deepen Xiao Wu's devotion, so she put on her gentlest act.
"San Ge, I don't mind suffering! But… every day, I hear your screams… That Xiao Ye Xuan is too cruel! You're the one enduring the worst, wuuu…"
Xiao Wu cried harder.
Internally, Tang San was annoyed—since when had Xiao Wu become such a weepy nuisance?
She almost wanted to punch Xiao Wu straight to the afterlife.
But she held back.
To make Xiao Wu sacrifice herself, Tang San first had to shower her with affection, then engineer a crisis where Xiao Wu would willingly give up her power.
By then, even if Xiao Ye Xuan showed up, it'd be too late.
So, Tang San placed a hand on Xiao Wu's head, gently stroking it, and sighed:
"Xiao Wu, all this time… you've been the one suffering. I… Tang San will definitely find a way for us to escape. Because…"
She gazed deeply into Xiao Wu's eyes, making her heart flutter as if three little rabbits were bouncing inside.
Xiao Wu's face turned as red as an apple.
Seeing her reaction, Tang San grew even more confident in her plan.
Then, she delivered her scripted line:
"Because, Xiao Wu… you're not just my little sister… you're also my… lo… ver!"
"San Ge! Meeting you in this lifetime… is the greatest happiness of my life… San Ge…!"
Xiao Wu was so moved she burst into tears. A hundred-thousand-year-old love-struck fool like her was utterly defenseless against such words.
At this point, if Tang San had bluntly said:
"Xiao Wu, I'm not strong enough yet. Sacrifice all your power to me so we can escape!"
Xiao Wu would've done it without hesitation.
But Tang San, ever cautious, wouldn't reveal her true goal until absolutely certain.
In her heart, she didn't fully trust Xiao Wu—this had to go according to plan.
