Chapter 99: The Titan Giant Ape, Fooled and Crippled
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 07:10:01 +0000 UTC"Xiao Wu, if you don’t want anything to happen to your Tang San and Er Ming, you’d better do as I say. Otherwise, I believe you know the consequences! While killing the Titan Giant Ape might take some time, killing Tang San would be as easy as pie, as long as we stop his half-crippled father!"
Hearing Xiao Yu’s devilish whisper, Xiao Wu’s face turned pale.
Her heart was filled with worry for Tang San and Er Ming.
Although Xiao Wu’s neck had been released and she no longer felt suffocated, for some reason, she felt the suffocation growing stronger.
Therefore, for the sake of Er Ming and Brother San’s safety, Xiao Wu knew she had to say something against her will.
"Er Ming, I’m sorry. I lied to you. I’ve truly fallen for Xiao Yu. I plan to leave with him and return to the human world. Er Ming, don’t worry, I’ll come back to visit you."
At this moment, Xiao Wu, dressed in her pink and white dress, looked like a lone boat swaying in a storm.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and tears sparkled in her eyes.
As she spoke, the tears in her eyes grew brighter, as if she were deeply reluctant to leave.
Hearing Xiao Wu’s words, Er Ming was even more confused.
What was the point of that fight earlier?!
What exactly had happened?!
Just moments ago, Xiao Wu seemed to hate this guy and really liked that Tang San. How had things turned out like this?
"Xiao Wu, are you serious?! And didn’t you like Tang San?! How did it suddenly become this guy?"
The Titan Giant Ape asked in complete bewilderment.
"Er Ming, I’m sorry for lying to you. The truth is, I’ve always liked Xiao Yu, not Tang San... I’m sorry, Er Ming, for making you misunderstand."
Xiao Wu didn’t explain further. Instead, she leaned into Xiao Yu’s embrace, repeating the same words over and over.
This was what Xiao Yu had instructed her to do. No matter how she explained it now, there would be loopholes in her words. So, by repeating a single sentence, and given Er Ming’s simp-like nature, they could easily deceive him.
"Xiao Wu, are you serious?! You’re not being forced, are you?"
Er Ming asked, still confused.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu sneered.
Forced? Of course, she was being forced. If you’re willing to give up your life for Xiao Wu, then Xiao Wu is naturally willing to lie for you and Tang San.
Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
"Yes, it’s true, Er Ming. Don’t worry, I truly like Xiao Yu. I was the one who told him about my identity. I believe Xiao Yu won’t do anything to harm me."
Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Yu with tender affection.
But up close, Xiao Yu could see the killing intent deep in her eyes.
Seeing this look, Xiao Yu wasn’t afraid.
Instead, he tightened his embrace around Xiao Wu and said,
"Don’t worry, Er Ming. I won’t take Xiao Wu’s soul ring or soul bone. In fact, I can promise you that every time I go to obtain a soul ring, I’ll bring her back to reunite with you. So, I hope you can trust me this time and let me take Xiao Wu away."
Feeling Xiao Yu’s hand on her waist, Xiao Wu played along, placing her delicate hand on Xiao Yu’s body, acting like a loving couple.
However, only Xiao Wu and Xiao Yu could see that her hand was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Er Ming felt his head buzzing, completely dumbfounded.
He scratched his head, unsure of what to do.
And it wasn’t just the Titan Giant Ape who was stunned.
Even Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, Yu Luomian, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Ning Rongrong, who were watching from the sidelines, were completely shocked.
Could things really play out like this?!
What exactly had Xiao Yu done earlier?!
Why had the situation turned out like this?!
After all, they had been with Xiao Yu for a long time and knew he didn’t know Xiao Wu at all.
Where did this mutual love come from?
"You... I..."
Er Ming’s brain couldn’t process this, and he was completely at a loss.
Although he had human-like intelligence, he had never encountered such a convoluted situation.
In the end, with his head about to explode, Er Ming could only helplessly say,
"Xiao Wu, do you want to stay and say goodbye to Da Ming before you leave?"
"No, Er Ming. I’m afraid if I see Da Ming, I won’t be able to leave. I’m sorry, Er Ming, but I need to go now."
Xiao Wu spoke with tears in her eyes.
If she saw Da Ming, there was no way he’d let her leave.
To avoid making the situation even worse, how could she wait for Da Ming to return?
"Alright, Xiao Wu. Then... I wish you happiness. Human, I hope you remember your promise. If you dare to break it, I’ll make sure you die without a complete corpse!"
Er Ming shouted at Xiao Yu.
"Don’t worry, Er Ming. As your brother-in-law, I always keep my word!"
"Hmph."
After saying this, though reluctant, Er Ming prepared to leave.
But Xiao Yu stopped him.
"Wait, Er Ming!"
"What? Do you need something?"
Er Ming turned around and asked.
"Er Ming, I’m sorry for deceiving you earlier. The Jade Phosphor poison and Seven Kill Sword energy in your body haven’t been cleared yet, right? Let my two grandpas help you clear them. That way, you’ll feel better when you return."
Xiao Yu spoke.
Hearing this, Er Ming was momentarily stunned, then nodded slightly.
"Alright... then I’ll trouble you."
Even after being sold out, he still had to thank Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu almost laughed out loud.
But he looked at Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Dugu, please take care of it."
"..."
Hearing this request, the two exchanged glances.
Then they both approached Er Ming and withdrew the poison and sword energy that had been invading his body.
Since this situation had been entirely orchestrated by Xiao Yu, they wanted to see what would happen next.
As the sword energy and poison that had been causing Er Ming immense discomfort were removed, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
He felt much better physically.
He had thought he’d have to endure the pain for a while after returning, but now he felt better so quickly.
For a moment, as his body felt better, Er Ming’s wariness of Xiao Yu lessened slightly.
"Er Ming, here’s a herb that’s perfect for healing. Eat it, and your injuries will recover faster!"
Seeing that the poison and sword energy had been removed, Xiao Yu immediately took out a herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and tossed it to the Titan Giant Ape.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well didn’t only have immortal herbs; there were also many herbs that hadn’t yet reached that level.
"..."
Looking at the herb Xiao Yu had thrown over, Er Ming’s expression changed again.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, then at Xiao Yu, before eating the herb.
Soon after consuming it, Er Ming immediately felt the pain in his body lessen.
For a moment, his wariness of Xiao Yu dropped another level.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel that Xiao Wu had truly found a good match this time.
