Chapter 45 - Valentine's Day

"Brother San, will you marry me"

When they all heard that they all froze, this was including Tang San, he knew why she was acting this way but was still tempted by her confession.

"Umm… Rongrong isn't this too sudden, I know that you have feelings for me but we're still kids and we have a lot of time left to discuss this and not to mention about your family, unless I prove myself to them do you think that the Seven Treasured Clan would accept me?? I'm the son of a village blacksmith and have no noble status in the empire not to mention that I'm not even that handsome, hahaha"

When he said that everyone just rolled their eyes at him and they all thought,

'Even if you are the son of a village blacksmith being a Spirit Master is enough to forget about your birth. With his current rank as a Spirit King and not to mention that he is the youngest spirit king who has a high prospect to become a Titled Douluo, who would care about not having a noble status. As for not being handsome… he had a decent enough face but in terms of figure even Mubai and Oscar would have to admit defeat'

"Brother San, you won't have to worry about my clan not accepting you. With just the reason of helping me awaken this spirit and as long as I say I want to then no one would dare say no"

"This…"

"Rongrong, what Tang San said is right, you both are currently too young to think about marriage, you should spend some time to think about the feelings you have for each other and only after you have both thought it through can you think about such things"

"I'm sorry Brother San, I was too impulsive and grandmaster is right we still have time to think about these things later on so I should just focus on cultivating. But… right now I will have to go back to my clan and report about my spirit… I may never come back after this so that's why I…"

When she said that she hugged Tang San and started crying on his c_h_e_s_t, Tang San who felt those tears became a little sad about the situation.

"Rongrong why do you have to go back and what do you mean by you may never come back??"

Xiao Wu, who was her best friend asked her with a sad expression. Then Ning Rongrong explained about her spirit and how they were unable to cultivate above the Spirit Saint Rank and how with Tang San's help she was able to solve this problem. She reminded them that this was a huge secret of her clan and they should never tell anyone else about this.

While they promised they still had sad expressions on their faces.

Tang San then said with a smile on his face,

"Well even if you leave now it doesn't mean that you won't come back will you, we may even see each other again so don't be so depressed I'm sure things will work out soon enough"

Hearing that they felt a little hope in their hearts and wished that she would be allowed to come back and cultivate with them.

"I also hope that would be the case"

After saying that she left Shrek Academy and even the others returned back to cultivate, they were all pressured by Hongjin's Ten Thousand Year Ring and Zhu Zhuqing's increment in Spirit Power almost reaching the level of Spirit Emperor.

Soon a couple of days pass with all members of the Shrek Seven Devils cultivating in seclusion, Tang San along with Hongjin explored the city for quite a few days and occasionally practiced his Blacksmithing and other side professions.

Today was the Valentine's Day of this world, he knew that he would be gifted chocolates from the girls so he was also prepared to express his feelings towards them. But unexpectedly the first person to give him chocolates was Xiao Wu, he had to admit he was not prepared for this yet, he had actually forgotten that this was the time when she would actually first confess to him in the novel.

"Xiao Wu, what is this??"

"This is chocolate, apparently you're supposed to give it to your loved ones to express your love towards them and if they accept it then they would both be blessed by the goddess of love"

"Xiao Wu, you do understand that the love they mean is the love between a man and a woman not brotherly and sisterly love"

"I know"

While nodding her head like a chicken she said that with a smile on her face.

"I… see, and since when did you… realize this feeling of yours towards me??"

She had a blushing expression on her face and said in a low voice,

"Whenever you're with Rongrong or Zhuqing and act friendly with them I feel sad and that day when they both kissed you I felt really sad, I remembered that my mother once told me that you feel this way only towards the one you love and Brother San is the one I truly love"

Just when Tang San was about to say something, in a loud voice, a student said,

"Xiao Wu, let the gods be the witness to this moment, for today I will confess my love towards you. You there, the tall skinny boy, since Xiao Wu confessed to you I will defeat you and confess my love to her, this is FATE!!"

"Whatever"

Saying that he used his Scale Bind skill and tied him up, seeing him trying to break free he just used the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique to throw him out of the window.

…

Xiao Wu was quite angry with this event so she just left the place without saying anything, Tang San had a bad feeling about what was going to happen so he tried searching around for her. He then heard Xiao Wu's scream so he just ran as fast as he could towards the source of the scream and found a huge bulky man along with Tai Long holding Xiao Wu, though he knew who that person was he was truly pissed off at what was happening.

Even he couldn't explain his feelings right now so he calmly went towards them and said,

"Who are you?? Are you here to seek revenge for your grandson??"

"Haha, kid your not half bad, keeping calm even in this situation, I truly admire that but you messed with my grandson and since you're only a junior I won't be too tough on you. As long as you can break this wall which I made from my Spirit Power I won't pursue this matter any further, what do you say??"

"What do I get in return??"
