Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

Back then, Xiao Wu had been seriously injured at Xue Tianyu's hands, forcing her to recuperate in the hotel.

For someone like Xiao Wu, who loved to run around and play, this was practically a deep-seated grudge.

Now that she had recovered, she might have secretly gone to seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Tang San quickly beckoned Dai Mubai and the others over.

"Do you all remember our match against Tianshui Academy..." Tang San knew this could be a breakthrough—they couldn't afford to overlook anything.

"You mean the match where Xiao Wu got injured?" Zhu Zhuqing remembered clearly. After that match, Xiao Wu had been confined to the hotel to heal.

"That's right. I suspect she went to take revenge on their team leader, Xue Tianyu."

Recalling Tianshui Academy's performance under Xue Tianyu's leadership, Dai Mubai and Oscar's expressions darkened.

If Xiao Wu had gone alone, there was a real chance she could be captured outright.

"Then... let's all go find Xue Tianyu together," Ma Hongjun suggested after taking a deep breath.

After all, that was Tianshui Academy's territory. If any one of them went alone, they might not even get the chance to see Xue Tianyu before being blocked by the academy's members.

"That's definitely a possibility," Liu Erlong nodded in agreement.

After all, this aligned well with Xiao Wu's way of thinking.

But aside from that, there was also a simpler possibility.

"Could it be that Xiao Wu just got lost or was too caught up playing outside and lost track of time?" Liu Erlong suggested. "Think about it—if neither Spirit Hall nor Tianshui Academy has any trace of her, where else should we search?"

"In that case..."

Tang San bowed respectfully to Liu Erlong. "Teacher's wife, could you and the dean help search for Xiao Wu?"

"We'll split into three groups—one of us will definitely find her." Tang San took a deep breath and said firmly.

Liu Erlong was delighted to be addressed as "Teacher's wife" by Tang San and immediately agreed.

"No problem! I'll go find Flender—he can search from the sky while I cover the ground. We'll scour the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City!"

Seeing that the search routes were already being planned, Ning Rongrong raised her hand.

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Rongrong, do you have any thoughts?"

Tang San asked gently.

Hearing him call her "Rongrong" so warmly, Ning Rongrong felt a surge of happiness.

She deliberately moved closer to Tang San and lightly hooked his finger with her delicate hand. "I can write to my father. If Xue Tianyu has some unusual background, we should be prepared."

For someone like Xue Tianyu to possess such unfathomable abilities at just twenty years old, no one would believe he had no backing.

Tang San had considered this possibility but hadn't wanted to bring it up directly.

Now that Ning Rongrong was willingly offering to use the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he felt genuinely touched.

Grasping her hands, he sincerely said, "Thank you, Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed as she shyly nodded. "Brother San, this is what I should do."

"With my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's influence, we'll definitely take down that Xue Tianyu!"

Ning Rongrong deliberately leaned in closer to Tang San.

In truth, she had liked Tang San from the first day she arrived at Shrek Academy.

But back then, Tang San was always with Xiao Wu.

To get to know him better, Ning Rongrong had even chosen to share a dorm with Xiao Wu.

And so, by prying information about Tang San from Xiao Wu's mouth, she found herself liking him more and more.

But the more she liked him, the more she worried—if she couldn't win against Xiao Wu, she might not even get to stay as Tang San's friend.

So, she had buried her feelings deep inside.

As for Oscar's persistent pursuit, she had only ever seen him as a backup plan.

"If Xiao Wu weren't in the picture, Brother San would be mine!"

Looking at Tang San so close to her, Ning Rongrong's eyes were overflowing with tenderness.

"As for Oscar, that backup lapdog—he can just stay on hold. Once I get Brother San, I can toss him away."

Having made up her mind, she saw this as the perfect opportunity to claim Tang San for herself!

Of course, if she failed, it didn't matter—Oscar would still be there as a fallback.

At this moment, Oscar wasn't an idiot. Seeing Ning Rongrong deliberately move closer to Tang San and actively help him solve his problems, he felt awful.

But he was just a lapdog.

How could the goddess be at fault?

No, the one at fault was Tang San!

Jealousy surged in Oscar's heart. He was extremely displeased seeing Tang San monopolizing Xiao Wu while still getting so close to his own goddess, Ning Rongrong.

He knew that his friendship with Tang San now had a deep crack.

"One should never covet a friend's woman. You dare get this close to my goddess? You're asking for death!"

However, Oscar kept all his resentment hidden behind a calm facade.

Soon, the group split into two teams and left the hotel.

...

Meanwhile, upstairs, Xue Tianyu was dozing off with Bing Di in his arms when he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.

Bing Di had sharp ears and was immediately roused.

Her petite body shifted slightly, causing Xue Tianyu to wake up as well.

"What's going on?"

Bing Di frowned.

If they were in the Extreme North, anyone disturbing her sleep would already be dead.

But Xue Tianyu could already sense it.

It was the Shrek Seven Devils.

Well, six devils, since Xiao Wu was still in the bathroom.

Seriously, what was wrong with these people? Staying up so late instead of sleeping?

Xue Tianyu reached out and stroked Bing Di, soothing her emotions.

"Aunt Bing, rest. I'll go check it out."

Bing Di nodded—she never worried about Xue Tianyu's strength.

More importantly, she was too lazy to move.

So, as Bing Di went back to sleep, Xue Tianyu got dressed and stepped out.

"What the hell are you all doing? It's the middle of the night—don't people need sleep?"

Yawning, Xue Tianyu walked out.

The moment Tang San saw him, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen my Xiao Wu?"

At that moment, the six members of the Shrek Seven Devils stared intently at Xue Tianyu, trying to read anything from his expression.

But Xue Tianyu's face showed no flaws.

"Nope."

"That's not right!"

Tang San didn't know why, but he had a strong feeling.

"My intuition tells me—Xiao Wu is here!"

"Intuition?"

Xue Tianyu chuckled.

"Are you sniffing the air like a dog or following a trail of dung? Intuition, my ass."

"I said she's not here, so she's not here!"

Seeing Xue Tianyu's demeanor, Tang San felt his anger rise.

He had originally doubted his own judgment, but now he was growing increasingly certain.

"You're lying!"

Tang San's gaze turned cold, and under his sleeves, his hidden weapons were already primed to launch.

"Tell me the truth—was Xiao Wu here?"

"Haha!"

Seeing Tang San treating him like a mortal enemy, Xue Tianyu couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"Are you looking for that little girl in sexy lingerie who kept rubbing up against me?"

Xue Tianyu licked his lips as if savoring a memory, his expression filled with enjoyment.

"Your Xiao Wu... she's beautiful. And she feels amazing."
