Tang San looked at her, causing Xiao Wu to be taken aback.
She realized something, and her eyes became complicated.
Anticipation, fear, worry, terror! Tang San still loved her? This… Xiao Wu felt completely flustered.
If Tang San really took off the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red, how should she choose?
Should she give up the hope of resurrecting her mother and run away with Tang San to the ends of the earth?
Or should she give up love for family, continuing to be Zhuge Lan's "cannon fodder"?
Tang San didn't give her time to think. A mouthful of blood spurted out.
The magenta glow flared intensely, far surpassing the previous display by Oscar and the others.
Xiao Wu held her breath.
The mingled emotions of expectation and fear made her close her eyes involuntarily.
Tang San had originally been confident.
—With the years of feelings between him and Xiao Wu, even the current minor conflict was just a small matter.
But… Under the magenta glow of the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red, his firm heart wavered.
Images of Xiao Wu's sharp "one kick no mercy" flashed in his mind.
And Xiao Wu, for the sake of learning techniques, keeping a distance from Zhuge Lan… And just now, her inadvertent doubts upon falling.
"Pfft—"
Tang San spat another mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.
The glow of the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red dimmed along with it.
"Ah!" Ma Hongjun said with schadenfreude, "Good thing it didn't work, I mean it still didn't succeed?"
"It's a bit of a pity," Zhuge Lan chimed in, "Xiao Wu, why don't you try?"
Named, Xiao Wu opened her eyes and looked deeply at Tang San.
Relief, gratitude, disappointment… Tang San didn't dare raise his head and silently got up.
[Emotion Points +44444] [Emotion Points +44444]
Zhuge Lan was used to it.
No matter what this guy encountered, he could always be "blamed" for something.
Little did anyone know, it was precisely because he held grudges that Zhuge Lan could tease him relentlessly.
One could only say—he deserved it.
"I'll pass," Xiao Wu shook her head. "I definitely can't succeed."
"Give it a try," Zhuge Lan interrupted. "I think you can do it."
[Emotion Points +55555] [Emotion Points +44444]
Xiao Wu understood.
Just like being told at midnight where to go, in what position.
It wasn't a discussion; it was a command.
[Emotion Points +55555]
She silently stepped forward and spat a mouthful of blood.
The magenta glow flared!
Brighter than Tang San's before, the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red even started swaying.
It looked like it might detach completely.
But… Xiao Wu's mind recalled Tang San's ruthless letting go! And In front of the bed, at the door, on the roof! The splits, the iron plank bridge, the hanging hook!
She was momentarily stunned.
Ah? This intense glow… was triggered because she subconsciously thought of Zhuge Lan's face.
The glow brightened further!!! Even the flower stalk swayed, and the root separated from the Wu Jue Stone.
[Emotion Points +99999]
Xiao Wu was shocked! She… Had she… fallen for Zhuge Lan out of hatred? This… I… He… Ah? [Emotion Points +99999] [Emotion Points +99999]
Watching the emotions surge above Xiao Wu's head, Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.
After a few seconds, the emotion points fell, and the simulated mental domain was withdrawn.
Xiao Wu and Tang San both exhaled heavily.
—Luckily, it didn't succeed!
But immediately, Tang San's expression turned grim—how could it not succeed? His failure had a reason; the fault lay with Xiao Wu.
How could Xiao Wu fail?
The fault lay with whom? It must be that she had changed her heart! [Emotion Points +44444] [Emotion Points +44444]
At this moment, Xiao Wu had no time to care about Tang San.
Her mind was full of—impossible! Her love for Zhuge Lan could surpass Tang San? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No, that's wrong!
How could she possibly have love for Zhuge Lan? —If only she knew about Stockholm Syndrome, she wouldn't be so conflicted.
[Emotion Points +110000]
Zhuge Lan chuckled inwardly. Confused, aren't they? He glanced aside.
"Anyone else want to try?"
A few people exchanged glances.
Four tried, four froze in embarrassment.
Who would dare? "The Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red can increase your level by at least 10~ And it even allows Tendon Transformation before level 98 without obstacles~" Zhuge Lan tempted.
[Emotion Points +11111] [Emotion Points +11111]
As the saying goes, "With great reward comes brave men."
Fland gritted his teeth!
With a fearless aura, he stepped before the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red.
"Pfft—"
The glow immediately surged to its peak, and the root protruded several inches.
This surprised Zhuge Lan.
Fland's love for Liu Erlong was so resolute?
Then… Zhuge Lan's interest in Liu Erlong grew even more! A perfect, attractive woman, with emotional points from Yu Xiaogang and Fland attached.
Impossible not to be tempted!
Fland had no idea that, because of his impressive performance, his beloved had already been noticed.
He watched the Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red intently, as it pulled out inch by inch.
Emotions surged to the extreme!
But suddenly—
Images flashed in his mind: when Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were about to wed, he himself would preside over the wedding. "Pfft—"
His Dao Heart shattered, validation failed.
Fland laughed bitterly.
As expected… [Emotion Points +151515]
Zhuge Lan patted Fland's shoulder, shaking his head in regret.
"Just a bit short.
Although I don't know who the Dean loves, unrequited love is useless. You must bravely confess!"
Fland's face twitched! [Emotion Points +99595]
Poking right at the heart, huh?
He grit his teeth, shrugged off Zhuge Lan's hand, and sat down with Ma Hongjun and Oscar in self-imposed exile.
Zhuge Lan chuckled, looking at the remaining people.
But after witnessing so many failures, they were afraid too.
Zhuge Lan decided to give them a moment and focused on Dugu Bo.
"Old Onion, want to try?" Zhuge Lan tempted. "You love your granddaughter so much, right? Here's a chance to go straight to level 98!"
Surprisingly…
Dugu Bo was tempted.
—After all, it's just a mouthful of blood. Why not try?
"Alright!"
"Then I'll give it a try!"
"Pfft—"
A mouthful of blood.
The Lovesickness Heartbreaking Red swayed, the blood hadn't even fallen before the magenta glow blocked it, letting it slide on the ground along the light shield.
[Emotion Points +11111]
Dugu Bo turned stiffly to Zhuge Lan. What happened?
Zhuge Lan pointed to the ground.
"Shhh—"
Dugu Bo's blood corroded the floor, producing green smoke.
—This blood is poisonous! [Emotion Points +99999]
Dugu Bo inhaled deeply and returned to his seat.
Seemingly calm.
In truth… [Emotion Points +11111] [Emotion Points +11111]
Barrier broken!
Shattered completely! He at least had a chance to try.
He was directly rejected!
—Rejected by a flower?!
He, a Poison Douluo, shameless?! Seething with rage! This brat must have guessed long ago, deliberately making him look bad! Wanted to hit someone! But… Couldn't! Even angrier! [Emotion Points +151515]
Zhuge Lan smiled at the Shrek gang.
No more teasing.
With a single word, he raised everyone's Emotion Points.
Just one sentence: "."
There's an extra chapter coming; after checking for typos, it will be released in fifteen minutes~
