Chapter 79: Tang San Takes Hu Liena on a Journey of Speed and Passion, Leaving Xiao Wu and Catgirl Stunned
Zhu Zhuqing's resolve to kill Dai Mubai wavered as she considered the consequences. As his fiancée, even if she eliminated him discreetly in the Barak Kingdom, the Xingluo royal family might still bind her to his fate, a grim reality for Zhu family women. Besides, her current strength couldn't match Dai Mubai's. Her eyes darkened, but Tang San's kindness lingered in her mind, fueling her desire to break free.
On the playground, silence fell after Tang San escorted Ning Rongrong away. Flender's anger simmered—he'd nearly broken Ning Rongrong's spirit, only for Tang San to undo it with a few words. "Tang San's faking something," Flender thought, narrowing his eyes. "Zhao Wuji was right. I'll uncover his game—and his teacher's identity."
In the dormitory, Ning Rongrong, still in her JK uniform, grabbed Tang San's arm as he turned to leave. "Thank you, Tang San," she whispered, her voice shy but earnest. "I don't regret wearing this or standing up today. As long as you're here, I'll stay, no matter what they think."
Tang San caught the subtle confession in her words. His defense of her wasn't pure altruism—he owed her 700,000 Gold Soul Coins and planned to borrow more for a Lamborghini Veneno or Bugatti Nocturne. Coaxing her was strategic. Smiling at her moonlit figure, he said, "The dress suits you perfectly, Rongrong. Ignore the dean. Rest tonight—I'll handle him and the others."
He left swiftly, dodging her lingering gaze. "Is she hinting at a secret rendezvous?" he mused, amused but cautious. "Too soon for that."
Back on the playground, Flender glared at Tang San, who met his gaze calmly. "Dean, I acted on my own. Sorry. Rongrong's resting, but you don't really want her expelled, do you?"
Flender's expression shifted, surprised. "I only meant to humble her. If students like her defy rules, Shrek's done for."
"I understand," Tang San said, feigning sincerity. "Rongrong's just willful. She won't do it again."
Flender nodded, eyeing him oddly. "Fine, Tang San. If you vouch for her, I'll let it slide." He turned to Oscar, who'd lied for Ning Rongrong, and ordered twenty more laps as punishment.
Addressing the group, Flender's face darkened. "Follow me for the first class. Obey the rules, or face Oscar and Ning Rongrong's fate." To Tang San and Hu Liena, he added, "Join if you want, but it'll be tough for you, Tang San. Support-types like you and Ning Rongrong can't match combat spirit masters. That's why I had them run laps."
Flender smirked and dashed off, the students following. Zhu Zhuqing, agile as a cat, led, with Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Niu Dagang trailing. Hu Liena, unimpressed, said to Tang San, "That pace is nothing for me, but a Blue Silver Grass support like you can't keep up. Let's skip it."
Tang San grinned. "It's worth seeing. They're headed to the Soto City Great Soul Arena for combat training."
"Great Soul Arena? A deathmatch?" Hu Liena's eyes lit up, recalling her brutal Spirit Hall training where she, at six, outlasted hundreds to become Bibi Dong's disciple. "That's worth watching."
"They're too slow," Tang San said, tapping his Three Lives Three Worlds Moonlit Night pendant. With a puff of mist, the Kawasaki H2R appeared. "You'll see what this is, Little Fox."
Hu Liena blinked, curious. "What's that thing?"
Tang San mounted the bike, beckoning her. "Hop on. Let's show them real speed."
"Ride it? Like you?" Hu Liena hesitated but approached. Tang San pulled her aboard, ignoring her protests. "Is it fast?" she asked, intrigued.
"Very," Tang San said, smirking. "Hold tight, Little Fox."
"Hold you? Dream on!" Hu Liena scoffed, too proud as the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden to cling to a Blue Silver Grass user.
"Suit yourself," Tang San said, twisting the throttle. The H2R roared to 100 km/h in two seconds, Hu Liena's scream piercing the air as she slammed into his back, her short hair brushing his ears. The wind's rush thrilled Tang San, though Hu Liena winced in pain.
"It's too fast! What is this?" she shouted, gripping the seat as the H2R hit 280 mph. Tang San's Divine Eye tracked Flender and the others ahead. "Caught up in ten seconds," he laughed. "Don't jump off, Little Fox—you'll get hurt. Hold me if you can't handle it."
"Shameless!" Hu Liena snapped, but fear took over as the speed climbed. Gritting her teeth, she hugged Tang San's waist, pressing close to avoid falling. Her anger masked a flicker of excitement—the speed was exhilarating.
Tang San grinned. "Didn't you say no holding? Scared now?"
"When we stop, you're dead!" Hu Liena growled, clinging tighter. The wind blurred the road, her heart racing with thrill and fear.
On a downhill slope, Tang San pushed to 460 mph, the H2R's limit, overtaking Flender, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others in a flash. The wind whipped their hair, leaving them stunned.
"What was that?" Flender gaped, seeing only a green blur.
Xiao Wu stopped, blinking. "Was that… a big rat?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed, recognizing the H2R. "Tang San… with Hu Liena?" Jealousy surged, her claws itching to confront Dai Mubai.
At the Great Soul Arena, Tang San slowed, parking the H2R. Hu Liena, breathless, dismounted shakily. "You're insane," she muttered, but her eyes sparkled with adrenaline.
Tang San smirked. "Liked the ride, Little Fox?" Her glare softened, betraying her thrill. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing arrived, stunned, as Flender panted behind, vowing to probe Tang San's secrets.
Tang Hao, watching from afar, gripped his hammer. "That speed… and Dong'er's disciple? Xiao San's dangerous."
With the H2R, Infinite Steal, and Rasengan, Tang San's plans to disgrace Yu Xiaogang intensified. Hu Liena's thrill, Ning Rongrong's gratitude, and Zhu Zhuqing's murderous intent fueled the Shura Field, with Bibi Dong's arrival looming.
