Douluo: Soul-eating Spider Emperor

Chapter 389 Shura God Xiaowu: Xiaodong is mine!
"The Tiandou Auction is located in the most exclusive aristocratic area next to the Imperial City. Even minor nobles are not qualified to set foot there."

“The auction house holds a small auction every month and a large auction every year, and today happens to be the small auction.”

"Well, it's called a small auction, but after all, it's the highest-level auction in the Tiandou Empire. All the items auctioned are good stuff, and most of them are even rare items that you can't even see at auctions in other cities."

"For example, magical herbs, rare metals, mid-to-high-quality soul guides, thousand-year soul bones, and even the ownership of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, etc. There is nothing you can't buy, only what you can't think of."

Xiaodong introduced as he walked, Xiaowu's eyes lit up, and even Tang San's eyes flickered.

"Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to have gold soul coins!"

"You need at least a thousand coins, otherwise you won't even be eligible to enter."

Even though Xiaodong had easily scammed eight-digit gold soul coins at the Soto Great Soul Arena, and Tang San had casually reached an order transaction with Xiaodong for one million gold soul coins, he thought that a thousand gold soul coins were not "valuable".

In fact, the monthly salary of a three-ring soul master from the Spirit Hall for free is only a dozen or so, while the assets of most small nobles are barely one or two thousand.

Hearing that it would take so many gold soul coins, Xiao Wu's excitement immediately cooled down. Tang San raised his mouth and was about to say "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I have money", when Xiao Wu suddenly patted her forehead and said excitedly:

"How could I have forgotten this!"

After that, Xiao Wu took out a beautiful black card from her pocket and raised it: "Xiaodong, there seems to be 1 million gold soul coins in it, right?"

"Well, as long as it's not too rare, the general transaction price of an item will not exceed ten thousand pieces." Xiaodong nodded: "Even if a soul bone appears, Sister Xiaowu will have a chance to compete."

"That's good." Xiao Wu smiled happily, but the three giegies next to us were a little unhappy!

"Xiao Wu, where did you get this black card?" As he said this, he glanced at Xiao Dong. The meaning was self-evident. Is Xiao Wu being kept by someone?
Xiao Wu admitted straightforwardly: "Of course it was given to me by Xiaodong."

This matter-of-fact look made Tang San very uncomfortable. Just when he was about to say something, Xiao Wu spoke first: "It's Xiaodong's appearance fee!"

Appearance fee? Tang San was stunned, Xiao Dong smiled and said: "Sister Xiao Wu has promised me that every time I sing in the future, Sister Xiao Wu will be my backup dancer and perform on the same stage with me."

"Well~ To put it simply, I will be responsible for singing, and Sister Xiaowu will be responsible for dancing. These 100 million gold soul coins are Sister Xiaowu's signing fee, and the time period is years!"

One hundred thousand years? What's the difference between that and a lifetime?
Tang San subconsciously wanted to object, but was instantly speechless. For a moment, he could not find any reason to obstruct this magical indenture!

After a long while, Tang San managed to utter a few words: "100 million gold soul coins... isn't that a bit too much?"

"Xiao San! What do you mean!" Xiao Wu's pretty face was full of displeasure when she heard that. Xiao Dong's wine-red eyes rolled around and he said with a smile: "Huh? San giegie, do you mean that you think Xiao Wu's dance is worthless?"

Tang San's face darkened: "No, what I mean is..."

"Does it mean that you think Miss Wu should go on stage and perform for everyone for free?"

"Xiaodong, you are wrong..."

"Does it mean that you think Xiao Wu needs to get permission from San Giegie before doing anything?"

"I……"

“Or should Sister Xiao Wu not stand on the stage and shine, but can only stand behind San Giegie and silently watch San Giegie steal the show?” “…” Tang San glared at the evil cute Lolita who was fanning the flames like a devil. He took a deep breath, and when he was about to speak, Xiao Wu said dissatisfiedly: “Okay, Xiao San, I know what you want to say!”

"At first I didn't want any money. As Xiaodong's sister, it's my job to help her perform and gain popularity."

"Golden Soul Coins and the like are just external things. Helping Xiaodong is my original intention!"

After saying that, the angry Xiao Wu pulled Xiao Dong and quickened their pace as they walked ahead.

"..." Tang San looked at the two people's backs speechlessly. He suddenly regretted letting Xiao Wu get close to Xiao Dong.

"Xiaodong will not harm Xiaowu, but..."

Xiaodong will change Xiaowu!
Tang San frowned. He inexplicably felt that the distance between Xiao Wu and him as her brother was beginning to grow farther.

Although Xiao Dong, who was being pulled by Xiao Wu, did not look back at Tang San's expression, he could guess his thoughts and could not help laughing secretly: "Our San giegie, Sister Xiao Wu has indeed been changed by me!"

In the past (in the original novel), Xiao Wu was always the kind of tool who only had Tang San in her eyes and the whole world revolved around Tang San.

But now it’s different, Tang San is not the only one in Xiao Wu’s world!

She is trying to move from behind the scenes to the front stage.

Under Xiaodong's influence, Xiao Wu does not want to become Tang San's vassal as in the original novel, nor does she want to be Tang San's Shura scabbard. Xiao Wu wants to become the protagonist!

(PS: Many years later, Xiao Wu, who had become the Asura God, held the Holy Mother Spider God in one hand and pointed the Asura Sword in the other hand at the livid-faced Angel God in front of her and loudly declared her sovereignty: Xiaodong, you are mine!)

Ahem~ Tang San, who had always regarded Xiao Wu as his own private property, finally realized this. Just as he frowned and thought about this matter, Xiao Dong's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Tang San, Sister Xiao Wu is also a human being. As a human being, she will have her own ideas and interests!"

"Sister Xiaowu just found something she likes and no longer revolves around you like before!"

Xiaodong used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Tang San again, and after hearing the "taunting" from Xiaodong, he almost vomited blood.

As for what Xiaodong said about Xiaowu finding a favorite "thing", it is unknown whether this "thing" refers to dancing or a certain evil little loli. However, as a protagonist with high comprehension, Tang San quickly learned how to communicate with mental power, and his words were also passed on to Xiaodong:
"When did I ever regard my Xiao Wu as... ahem, I am her brother after all, I..."

"Okay, okay, there's no point in dwelling on this. You should first think about how to deal with the upcoming trouble."

"Trouble?" Tang San frowned. Xiaodong had said with a smile that he was about to get into trouble.

"Huh? No! Tang San, you..." Xiao Dong looked strange: "You're not going to tell me you really don't know, are you?"

However, after being played with by us for many times, San Giegie finally broke down. Of course, he didn't dare to do anything to Xiaodong, but said sarcastically: "Sorry, I'm not as good at playing tricks as you, the cutest princess in the world. I don't know what trouble you are reminding me of!"

However, Xiaodong was not angry after hearing this, but became even happier!

As a veteran netizen before traveling through time, I knew very well that when discussing a topic with other netizens, if the other party gave up using theoretical basis to convince me and instead argued with sarcasm, it meant that the other party had already lost, and all that was left was just clown-like nonsense.

'Tsk~ Don't worry, our San Giegie. The so-called trouble... San Giegie doesn't really think that the matter of defeating the strong with the weak in public, defeating and humiliating the young patriarch of the Power Clan living in Tiandou Imperial Capital is over, right?'
