"Third Brother, you're awake! You really scared me—I suddenly saw you fainted in the bathroom. Sob sob... Third Brother, luckily you're okay, otherwise if you were gone, I couldn't live on my own!"
Xiao Wu saw Tang San awake on the bed and hurried over, crying her heart out.
At this moment, Tang San's mind was in total chaos, filled with overwhelming embarrassment.
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, she felt even more confused and wildly agitated inside, as if her biggest, most shameful secret had been discovered.
She wanted to destroy everything.
Like everyone who knew about it must be silenced forever.
Tang San raised her hand involuntarily, remembering that before Xiao Yexuan caught her, there should have been a hidden dart under her sleeve.
The hidden dart was incredibly deadly and coated with poison; even a spirit master with several rings stronger than herself would be killed by such a sneak attack.
But the arm she raised was as pure and white as a lotus root—slender, like her boyfriend's.
Thinking about her boyfriend, Tang San recalled her earlier reckless behavior.
Being reckless isn't shameful, but passing out like that—that takes real skill.
Passing out meant she might have been discovered.
Her head felt like it was about to explode, but she wasn't sure if Xiao Wu or Xiao Yexuan had noticed.
At that time, both Xiao Yexuan and Xiao Wu were outside the bathroom.
If Xiao Wu found out, that wouldn't be so bad—she's just a tool, after all.
But if Xiao Yexuan saw... how could she ever face him again?
She didn't want Xiao Yexuan to break her innocence.
And yet here she was, doing all these naughty things.
From a pure saint to a succubus—how ridiculously ironic!
Despite her head threatening to explode, Tang San kept a shred of sanity and asked Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu! I... you... you found me... fainted in the bathroom, Master meow~! Master! Is he here?"
Tang San barely held onto her lucidity, speaking in broken, frantic bursts like a raging berserker.
Xiao Wu was startled by Tang San's sudden madness, not understanding why she cared if Xiao Yexuan was there.
Xiao Wu was confused, thinking Tang San fainted in the bathroom because she hadn't completed her master's mission.
That would mean punishment.
If Xiao Yexuan was there, he would know why Tang San failed—she simply collapsed from exhaustion while completing the mission.
Though the mission wasn't finished, her dedication was commendable—reward-worthy, not punishable.
Having suffered Xiao Yexuan's punishments before, Tang San feared and worried whether he actually saw her faint in the bathroom.
Xiao Wu was thinking the same for Tang San's sake.
Then she quickly said to the frantic Tang San:
"Third Brother, don't worry! Xiao Yexuan was right beside us—we both saw you faint in the bathroom!"
"It's just that Xiao Yexuan's heartless. Seeing you faint there, he didn't show any concern or even take you to a doctor. In the end, he just told you to drink more hot water... Eh? Third Brother? Third Brother! What's wrong? No! Don't scare me!"
Xiao Wu grew even more excited, but suddenly Tang San kicked her legs and fainted back onto the bed.
Oh my god! Tang San actually passed out from anger! And she was so reckless that Xiao Yexuan saw it!
How tragic! This was a total game-over!
Next, she was probably going to be executed on the spot by Xiao Yexuan!
Tang San couldn't accept this reality and passed out again from sheer frustration.
Xiao Wu put her hand near Tang San's nose and felt breath—very puzzled why she fainted again.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu laughed softly and lightly tapped Tang San's shoulder:
"Third Brother, you're so bad!"
Tang San fainted because she knew Xiao Yexuan saw her pass out in the bathroom, so she could finally relax and sleep.
Like finishing all her homework, then going on to do more homework.
Xiao Wu stopped worrying so much about Tang San. Looking at the medicine on the table, she wondered if Tang San would ask whether she could take it once she woke up.
But since Tang San went back to sleep, she'd just have to force it on her.
Xiao Wu tasted a sip and felt it was harmless, full of energy, making her feel like a balloon inflating.
Anyway, the medicine was packed with energy. Seeing Tang San so weak, this powerful medicine would definitely help her recover.
So she gently fed it to Tang San.
Tang San drank two large bowls, her body heating up as if roasting sausages.
Xiao Wu didn't find anything strange, which meant it was good medicine.
"Xiao Wu, it's night already! Come here and make your brother feel good!"
At that moment, Xiao Yexuan's voice came from outside.
Xiao Wu realized her tragic fate was coming next.
However, after taking care of Tang San, she had no worries left.
Tomorrow morning, she'd see a lively Tang San again.
So she hurriedly put on her fox tail and crawled toward Xiao Yexuan.
Inside Xiao Wu's heart, something was burning—she didn't know why.
It felt different from usual, probably because of the medicine from Tang San.
If Tang San turned into a steaming hot mess, what's a little heat for her?
By midnight, while Xiao Wu was still sweetly calling out,
Tang San groggily woke up again.
Her whole body was soaked; she didn't know what had happened.
Feeling miserable, she really wanted a shower.
She emptied her mind, deciding no matter what, she needed to clean up first.
But soon she heard Xiao Wu's wild screams.
Tang San immediately perked up—those sounds were very sensitive to her.
Images of Xiao Wu right in front of her flashed in her mind.
Clenching her fists tight, then relaxing again.
That Xiao Wu was so hateful! Betraying her! Straight to death she should go! Getting angry over Xiao Wu wasn't worth it.
Then Tang San remembered she wanted a shower, but...
Xiao Wu's voice was just too seductive, and she also heard Xiao Yexuan's rough voice.
Tang San's whole body suddenly felt like it was on fire.
If Xiao Yexuan saw what Tang San was doing, a wicked smile would instantly appear on his lips.
If Xiao Wu saw, she'd probably question her whole existence!
Is this really the same Tang SanXiao Wu knew?
