Then, after Xiao Wu and Tang San decided to leave this place, Tang San reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu's hand.
Tang San walked ahead, leading the way. Xiao Wu was reluctant to leave the woman behind, but Tang San gently pulled her along—not forcefully, just casually, like he was saying come on, my bunny, follow me.
And Xiao Wu followed her brother.
But her eyes kept lingering on the woman's back.

Meanwhile, Lili continued eating the meat, curious about where exactly the food would go.
After chewing thoroughly, he swallowed.
But the moment the food passed down his neck, the sensation—the texture, the feeling—was gone.
"Hm…"
"So it disappears somewhere around my neck."
"Well, that's new."
Lili continued eating, completely unconcerned. He vaguely heard footsteps fading into the distance.
But who cared?
He was a sloth—too tired to do anything, too lazy to be bothered.
As he enjoyed his food, a system notification chimed inside his head like a bell.
Ding—
□ Mission
– Join Shrek Academy
Reward: 20 R.P.
"Hmm…"
Lili looked at the panel with the same I-don't-give-a-shit vibe.
"Shrek Academy… more like Shrek Monopoly."
"Twenty R.P. and a mission."
"Hehehe… Merzzy, this is undoubtedly your doing, ain't it…"
After that, he went right back to eating.
"Burp."
He let out a satisfied sound.
Then his eyes started to feel heavy again.
I'm sleepy…
Should I sleep here?
But it's cold, sleeping on the ground…
An idea formed in his mind.
Lili looked around, searching for something suitable. Then he spotted it—just to the right, two massive trees standing close together, both about seven feet thick.
"Oh. This will do."
From his fingertips, web-like silk shot out toward the first tree trunk.
Then another strand shot toward the second tree.
He connected them, forming a hammock suspended between the two trees.
After that, he fired another web and used it like Spider-Man, effortlessly pulling himself up and reaching the hammock in a faster, easier way.
And just like that…
Lili took his first sleep in the world of Douluo Dalu.

Xiao Wu and Tang San were now having their dinner together, like a sweet couple living lovingly together… not yet though.
Tang San talked enthusiastically about how Shrek Academy was a legacy—one of the best schools to ever exist. He repeated everything his bald master had described to him, how it was meant to inspire and convince them to go there.
Xiao Wu sat quietly, listening and slightly nodding her head.
But in her mind, she was still thinking about that person—the one who looked like that bitch.
Xiao Wu did her best to forget her.
But how could she?
Who would forget a face like that?
She tried to distract herself from the earlier experience, forcing her thoughts elsewhere.
After they finished eating, they decided to sleep.
Tang San slept on the floor, while Xiao Wu slept on the bed.
Good. No smut shit happening.
And just like that, another day had passed for the start of the Douluo Dalu world
♤
Then another day had come. The sun was ready to do its job again, slowly making its way across the sky.
Tang San was already up, having completed his family chores. Today, he wasn't practicing his Demon Eyes techniques—he needed to prepare for a long journey.
Xiao Wu, however, was still asleep. She hadn't been able to rest all night, plagued by worry and anxiety. The thought that the woman might track her down and attack kept her awake. By around 3 a.m., the pressure finally became too much, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.
As always, Tang San prepared their breakfast. Leftovers from yesterday, reheated to perfection—it was good as new.
"Yup, don't waste food, kids."
Then he nudged his future wife.
"Hey, Xiao Wu, wake up. Breakfast is ready. We're leaving the village today and heading to the south city."
Tang San looked at the sleeping Xiao Wu and couldn't help but marvel. This bunny is really gorgeous. His eyes roamed over her long legs—they were smooth, enticing, impossibly well-shaped. He nearly drooled at the sight.
"Hey, hey, control yourself…" he muttered to himself.
Slowly, Xiao Wu stirred at his morning call. When she saw his blushing face, she didn't even flinch; she was accustomed to it.
"Oh, good morning, brother," she said, sitting up and stretching her arms above her head.
Tang San's jaw nearly dropped. The way her body moved, the subtle jiggle and bounce of her chest—it was almost too much to handle. Quickly, he looked away, trying to contain himself.
"Come on, Xiao Wu. We don't know how far Suptuo City is from here, so we need to prepare early," he said, turning his focus back to the day ahead.
"Okay," Xiao Wu replied, giving him a warm, reassuring smile.
