"Uh… what?"
Su Xiaoqi was stunned. What was Meng Yiran doing now?
Was this the Douluo Dalu version of a honey trap?
But when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wu's complicated expression as she looked at Meng Yiran, he instantly realized—this situation was most likely real.
"Interesting. Whether the Titan Giant Ape did it on purpose or not, once Meng Yiran finds out the truth, she's definitely going to become mortal enemies with Tang San and Xiao Wu."
"That means, as long as I stir the pot just right, points are going to pour in like rain."
At that moment, Meng Yiran, still kneeling in front of Su Xiaoqi, saw he wasn't moving and desperately clung to the hem of his pants, pleading through tears, "Please, if you're willing to save my grandfather and grandmother, I'll agree to anything you want."
She was out of options. Although there had been bad blood between them before, she had no time to care about that now—if she waited any longer, her grandparents would die for sure.
And the reason she chose Su Xiaoqi was simple. Based on the last incident, she naturally assumed he was the leader of this group.
"Points—no, wait, Chuunibyou girl—no, uh, listen. Get up first and take us to your grandparents. But I'm not a healing-type Spirit Master, so I can't guarantee I'll be able to save them."
Su Xiaoqi put his disclaimer up front. The last thing he wanted was to get caught up in a mess without any payoff.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Meng Yiran stood up after profusely thanking him, then timidly asked, "Should we go now?"
"You lead the way," Su Xiaoqi nodded, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. "Let's all go take a look."
Just as Tang San was about to follow, he noticed Xiao Wu beside him looking a little uneasy. Concerned, he asked, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine," Xiao Wu shook her head and looked at Tang San. "Brother, I want to go find Teacher Zhao and the others."
She absolutely didn't dare face those two people. She also didn't want Tang San to go either. After all, this entire incident was tied to him. The Titan Giant Ape had vented all the frustration it felt from Tang San on those two.
And in order not to expose her own relationship with the Titan Giant Ape, she hadn't stopped it.
Tang San gently stroked Xiao Wu's hair and smiled. "Alright. Then let's go find Teacher Zhao and the others."
Elsewhere, when Meng Yiran brought Su Xiaoqi, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong to the site where her grandparents had fallen, Long Gong had already died, and She Po was barely hanging on, breathing more out than in—it was only a matter of time before she passed too.
Su Xiaoqi split off a portion of his internal energy and infused it into She Po, buying her a moment to say farewell to Meng Yiran.
Ning Rongrong, watching the sorrowful scene before her, angrily said, "That Titan Giant Ape is so evil. If Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone were here, I'd definitely have them kill it."
"Zhuqing, I'm going to look around. Tell Rongrong about Tang San and Xiao Wu."
After spending time together these past few days and seeing how she had acted, Su Xiaoqi figured it was time to share some things with Ning Rongrong—at least the parts related to the world of Douluo Dalu.
Before dying, She Po entrusted Su Xiaoqi with a few requests, though he didn't agree to all of them. He only promised to try his best.
Some things he could do with little effort—but others were simply beyond him.
After burying Long Gong and She Po together, Su Xiaoqi turned to the grief-stricken Meng Yiran and said, "If you want to avenge your grandparents, start getting stronger tomorrow. We'll help you however we can, but in the end, it's up to you."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded at Meng Yiran in encouragement, and Ning Rongrong added, "You got this, Meng Yiran."
Now aware of some of the truth, she had just promised Zhu Zhuqing that from now on, they would always stand on the same side. As long as Su Xiaoqi gave her a few more big cannons, she could even be the vanguard.
"Thank you all." Meng Yiran gave a deep bow to the group before her. Wiping her tears away, she looked firmly at Su Xiaoqi and said, "I'll definitely become stronger—and avenge my grandparents."
Su Xiaoqi nodded. "Say your final goodbyes. Then we'll find a place to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll help you search for a suitable spirit beast."
Later, they found a good spot to set up camp. Su Xiaoqi asked Ning Rongrong to stay with Meng Yiran and let her rest. He and Zhu Zhuqing took night watch duty.
Or so they said. In truth, both were waiting for midnight—excited for today's rewards.
[System Notification: Group member Su Xiaoqi successfully altered the storyline, awarded 18,000 points.]
[System Notification: Group member Zhu Zhuqing successfully altered the storyline, awarded 25,000 points.]
The moment the reward notice appeared, Su Xiaoqi turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said excitedly, "Zhuqing, how about we go finish off Tang San? I bet the points from him would be huge."
He had done so much today and still earned less than Zhu Zhuqing did from simply shooting the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Just imagining how many points Tang San represented made his fingers itch.
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes and said, "I'm fine with that. But are you sure you can handle sleeping alone afterward?"
"Uh…" Su Xiaoqi instantly deflated. Curse this temptation—he couldn't resist it.
After buying the long-desired Gravity Room from Nami, Su Xiaoqi nearly spat blood on the spot. The store's buyback price was 2,000 points—Nami had made 25 times that off him.
After tallying up their remaining points, Su Xiaoqi decided to go all in. These damn group members were too shady—he'd have to rely on himself.
Su Xiaoqi had already made up his mind. If he pulled a Travel Card in the next draw, he was going to take out Tang San first thing tomorrow.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please bless me with good loot!"
As usual, Su Xiaoqi prayed before drawing, then took a deep breath of "immortal aura" from Zhu Zhuqing.
