"Xiao San San, since you're weak from illness, you definitely shouldn't be cooped up in your room! Come on, let me take you out to get some sun!"
In the morning, Xiao Yexuan dragged Tang San outside by her pale pink-blue tail.
That tail was really firmly attached.
"Aow aow aow~! Master... Master meow~! Don't… don't pull my tail anymore meow~! I… I can walk by myself meow~! Wuwuwu… it hurts so much meow~! Wuwuwu…"
Tang San cried from the pain as she followed behind.
The tail felt like her hair had grown out all over her body.
And pulling hair already hurts a ton—this pain? A thousand times worse!
Tang San was so miserable she almost wanted to die.
"Xiao San San, good—pain means it's working! This thing? You gotta mess with it hard! Push it to the limit, and eventually, it won't hurt anymore! Hahaha!"
Xiao Yexuan laughed heartily.
Tang San really wanted to stab him, but given her weakness and vulnerability, she didn't dare resist him at all.
All she could do was grab her own tail, trying to block some of Xiao Yexuan's pulling force with her arms.
Eventually, Xiao Yexuan dragged Tang San to a place built specifically for physical training.
It was already outside the area of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
But since Xiao Yexuan had expanded the territory using life force and had full control over the place, he wasn't worried about Tang San escaping.
Tang San looked at the strange equipment in front of her, confused. How was this stuff supposed to be used?
There were horizontal bars, parallel bars, and even something that looked like a swing.
These were all pieces of gym equipment that Xiao Yexuan had recreated from the world he came from before transmigrating.
On this continent—Douluo Continent—where physical training basically just meant running, of course Tang San had never seen any of this.
"Xiao San San, you're weak because you lack proper training. Sigh..."
Suddenly, Xiao Yexuan realized there was a flaw in what he just said.
Didn't Tang San train with him every night, in a very special way?
...Never mind. Whatever.
Right now, Xiao Yexuan just wanted her to exercise.
Tang San had no ability to resist and could only agree.
Xiao Yexuan walked over to the horizontal bar and pointed at her.
"Xiao San, come here. It's gonna hurt a little—bear with it."
"Hurt? What is this thing meow~?" Tang San tensed up and then tilted her head, pretending to act cute.
"Hehehe!" Xiao Yexuan chuckled mysteriously, then suddenly grabbed Tang San's big fluffy fox tail.
Tang San's face twisted in pain.
Before she could react, Xiao Yexuan had already tied her tail to the horizontal bar.
Her feet lifted off the ground, and all of her body weight pulled on her tail.
The pain intensified. Luckily, her tail didn't snap off.
"Aow aow~ Master meow~! What... what are you making me do? Eyaa~~ it hurts like hell meow~! Master meow~!"
Tang San started whining, hoping to get out of this.
Xiao Yexuan gave her a deep look. This little troublemaker... her whining was seriously arousing!
Then he slapped her on the butt a few times, making her whimper in pain for a while.
Only after that did Xiao Yexuan explain what the equipment was for.
"Xiao San, this is a horizontal bar. You can do pull-ups on it—or spin around it."
"You probably can't do a pull-up right now, but if you swing your body with your tail tied up there, you can spin in circles. Come on, show me what you've got, Tang San!"
"Spin like that? Master meow~! I… I can't do it meow~!" Tang San looked miserable.
Just hanging there already hurt like hell. Don't even mention spinning. Even a tiny movement felt like being sliced by blades!
"Good—it should hurt! Don't you remember what I told you before?" Xiao Yexuan looked absolutely thrilled.
Tang San hated hearing that kind of thing.
"Alright, Xiao San, stop dawdling. Get to training. I have to go out for a bit. If you want to come down, you'll have to swing yourself really hard. That's the only way you might get your tail off the bar~!"
Xiao Yexuan winked at her—then vanished into thin air.
Tang San was stunned. He just left?
If he wasn't around, then maybe she didn't have to spin. Great.
But that relief didn't last long.
Being hung there was its own kind of torture, and she had no idea when Xiao Yexuan would return.
Based on past experience, he usually didn't come back until evening.
Hang all day? Might as well die. And what about lunch? And she couldn't even sneak off to the bathroom to do something that might cheer her up.
Her mental state? Utter suffering.
Eventually, she decided to try Xiao Yexuan's method: swing her body.
It was agonizing at first. But as her movements grew larger and more forceful, she became like someone frozen in a snowstorm—numb to the pain.
Still, damn—this tail was seriously well-attached. Even with all that swinging, it wouldn't come loose.
Time to go all in. She spun like a wheel, gaining momentum.
Finally, Tang San heard the long-awaited pop—like a wine cork being pulled.
She shot off like a rocket. Who cared about landing? Right now, she just felt incredibly free.
Then—WHAM—Tang San's face smashed into a tree.
Her butt hit the ground, sticking straight up.
Fortunately, nothing was broken. She happily bounced around.
"This is... outside Old Freak's poison formation? Xiao Yexuan actually left me here so casually? No way—he definitely has backup plans. I can't just run."
When Tang San had first arrived, she had already scoped out the surroundings. Xiao Yexuan had taken her out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
She wanted to escape, but caution—and all the punishments she'd endured—kept her in check.
Who knew if Xiao Yexuan was secretly watching?
Besides, when she tried to release her martial spirit, nothing happened. Xiao Yexuan had done a lot to her body.
There was no way she could just walk out.
Without her martial spirit, and now stuck in the body of a weak girl, even if she did escape, she'd just get eaten alive by spirit beasts.
But then—Tang San felt something.
Even though her martial spirit hadn't activated, she sensed something across the forest.
A calling. From deep in her blood.
It felt familiar—compelling. She wanted to go toward it.
She even heard phantom whispers, like a soft voice caressing her soul. A longing filled her.
"Xiao San~~ come~~ to~~ me~~, my~~ child~~"
Tang San's heart shuddered. That voice... so gentle, so soothing.
Could it be? Was the one calling her... her long-dead mother?
