CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344: TANG SAN MEETS XIAO WU(???)

After speaking, Tang San, unwilling to admit that he had been somewhat embarrassed and angered by the boy’s words, summoned his Blue Silver Grass and drained the boy dry of life force.

In the end, as the pitch-black Blue Silver Grass retracted back into Tang San’s body, all that remained in the spot where the boy had stood was a set of tattered clothes lying quietly on the ground.

The boy had been completely drained of his life force by Tang San.

"Sigh, just a mere ant that can be crushed at any moment, yet he dares to question the heavens and earth for the deaths of a few other ants. How laughable."

Tang San played with the pitch-black Blue Silver Grass in his hand, speaking in a slightly deranged tone.

Meanwhile, inside the Slaughter Castle, the Slaughter King, sensing that the boy formed from his Rakshasa God’s divine sense had been absorbed by Tang San, couldn’t help but show a pleased expression.

"Hmph, it seems the grand show is getting closer and closer to its opening."

"..."

"Hey, handsome, you look lonely, talking to yourself like that. Come on, let me have a drink with you! Let’s get to know each other!"

"Get lost!!"

Inside the tavern, just as Tang San, feeling bored, was about to leave, a soft, effeminate male voice reached his ears.

Tang San didn’t even bother to look at him.

"Handsome, come on, have a drink with me. It’s on me, Xiao Wu(male)!"

"I told you to—"

Tang San, hearing the man still pestering him, immediately turned around, ready to teach him a lesson. After all, Tang San only had an interest in women.

However, when he heard the name "Xiao Wu," he froze.

"Xiao Wu..."

"That’s right, handsome. My name is Xiao Wu. Nice to meet you. Can I buy you a drink now?"

Xiao Wu, with his gradually rotting yellow teeth, spoke in a gentle tone.

Although his words sounded utterly disgusting to others, to Tang San, they were incredibly beautiful and pleasant.

The reason was simple: the person before him was named Xiao Wu(male).

Looking at the lecherous-looking Xiao Wu with his rotten yellow teeth, Tang San’s eyes, which were gradually glowing with a deep purple light, began to sink deeper into obsession and infatuation.

It was as if the person before him was the one he had loved deeply for over a decade.

"Sure..."

This time, Tang San, with the eerie purple light in his eyes growing brighter, did not refuse the offer. Instead, he ordered two Bloody Marys.

With an extremely gentle expression, he placed one in front of Xiao Wu.

"It’s our first meeting. This one’s on me. Let’s get to know each other. My name is Tang San."

"My name is Xiao Wu. Brother San, it’s a pleasure to meet you..."

Xiao Wu picked up the Bloody Mary, clinked glasses with Tang San, and then downed the drink in one gulp.

Watching the crimson liquid trickle down Xiao Wu’s lips, Tang San couldn’t help but stare, entranced.

Especially the familiar address of "Brother San" made Tang San fall into a whirlpool of memories.

Xiao Wu, being stared at so intently by Tang San, shyly nodded and smiled.

"Xiao Wu, so you’re here! Come back with me now!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming ambiguous, a furious roar rang out.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Wu immediately hid behind Tang San, his face filled with fear.

Seeing Xiao Wu’s pitiful expression, Tang San turned around angrily, ready to see who dared to bully his Xiao Wu.

As soon as he turned, he saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance with a group of Slaughter Squad members.

The person was none other than the captain of the Slaughter Squad who had stopped him at the entrance before—Kekote!

When Kekote saw Tang San, his expression changed slightly, and his tone softened a bit.

"It’s you?! Tang San, this guy has broken the rules of the City of Slaughter. We need to take him back for interrogation. I hope you’ll respect yourself and not interfere!"

"No, I won’t go back! I won’t go back! I just haven’t participated in the Hell Killing Arena trials yet. I’ll go right away, I’ll go right away!!"

Xiao Wu spoke with a face full of terror.

"Hmph, stop lying. Your spirit was shattered a year ago. The fact that you’re still alive is already a miracle. And you think you can continue participating in the Hell Killing Arena?! Dream on. Come with me to face punishment, and then prepare to live out your days in the outer city, barely surviving!"

With that, Kekote reached out to grab Xiao Wu’s arm and take him away.

"Wait!"

"Huh?!"

Kekote, seeing Tang San grabbing his hand, spoke with a displeased expression.

"Tang San, you should know that your father can no longer protect you. Are you really trying to challenge the dignity of a Title Douluo again?"

As he spoke, a surge of killing intent rushed toward Tang San, causing his expression to turn extremely grim.

After all, without his father’s protection, Tang San truly couldn’t afford to provoke a Title Douluo.

Suppressing his discomfort, Tang San spoke.

"Kekote, if I can help Xiao Wu pass the Hell Killing Arena, will you let him go?"

Tang San asked.

"Oh! What, you want to protect him?! I didn’t expect that, Tang San. You actually have a taste for this kind of thing?"

Kekote looked Xiao Wu up and down with curiosity.

This guy looked completely ordinary.

Even the members of the Slaughter Squad had no interest in him. Who would have thought Tang San’s tastes were so... unique?

This guy, who had been played with who knows how many times and probably carried countless diseases, was someone Tang San could stomach?!

Could it be that the young masters of great clans nowadays have such peculiar tastes?

After playing around too much as kids, they now prefer unusual flavors?

"Just tell me, yes or no!"

Tang San stared at Kekote with a serious expression.

"Fine, why not? But there’s one condition: if you step in to help him, he’ll need to complete two victories in the Hell Killing Arena!"

"Deal!!"

Tang San agreed to Kekote’s demand without hesitation.

As long as he could protect Xiao Wu, agreeing to a few extra conditions was no problem!

"Alright, out of respect for your father, I’ll give you one day. If he can’t complete two Hell Killing Arena trials by this time tomorrow, I’ll take him away. And if you dare to interfere again, I’ll arrest you too!!"

With that, Kekote turned and left.

As he left, he gave Xiao Wu a meaningful glance, which Xiao Wu returned. Tang San, however, didn’t notice any of this.

His attention was entirely focused on how to ensure Xiao Wu’s victory.

After thinking for a while, Tang San decided to follow his usual method.

He would cripple the other participants, then give his hidden weapons to Xiao Wu and let him finish them off.

After all, they were just ordinary people. Killing them would be much easier than killing spirit masters.

In an instant, as Tang San made up his mind, everyone in the tavern subconsciously shivered.

It was as if some evil gaze had already locked onto them.
