SWNOVELXO Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Until we meet again
At eight or nine in the morning, the sun bathed the earth in vibrant light.
Tang Chuan, who had been unconscious all night, finally regained some strength—but the lingering aches and soreness throughout his body served as a stark reminder of the previous night's events.
His clothes lay scattered beside him, and atop him slept a gorilla, its coarse black fur sprawled across his body.
"Pfft!"
A steel needle shot from Tang Chuan's hand, striking the beast's pupil with deadly precision.
A single strike—and the creature fell silent forever.
Suppressing his nausea, Tang Chuan shoved the gorilla off, but the slippery interior of the sleeping bag sent him tumbling out instead.
"Oh!"
A heavy thud echoed through the forest. The century-old gorilla lay unconscious, while Tang Chuan, barely catching himself with his Blue Silver King vines, steadied his fall.
Only then did he realize—seventy gorillas lay sprawled around him, all knocked out cold.
"Damn it! Damn it! I'll kill you all! Every last one of you!!!"
Never in his wildest nightmares had the God King Tang San imagined he would be violated by a horde of gorillas—some of them female.

Nuoding College, Dean's Office
Fu Ye, Xiao Wu, and Wu Ling stood before Dean Flender.
"Dean, Xiao Wu and I are here to collect Wu Ling's graduation certificate," Fu Ye stated calmly.
"O-Of course! Everything is prepared." Trembling, Flender handed over a briefcase.
Fu Ye glanced inside, then offered the dean a knowing smile.
"Well then, until we meet again."
Without the reincarnated God King Tang San around, Nuoding City had lost its appeal. It was time to visit Heaven Dou City instead.
'I wonder how much Juxiang Pavilion has expanded by now…'
And then there were his old friends—sixteen years gone. If they saw him now, they'd probably tear him apart.
The thought sent a thrill through him.
…
As they left Nuoding City, Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement, while Wu Ling's held a trace of unease.
"Brother Fu Ye, where are we going?"
After four years together, Wu Ling no longer shied away from Fu Ye. She spoke to him warmly, without fear.
"I'm taking you to the Imperial City to meet your teacher. But don't forget—training comes first."
He pinched her nose playfully, and Wu Ling didn't resist, giggling as he did.
"Hehe, as long as I'm with you and teacher, I'll go anywhere!"
(^^*)
These past four years had been the happiest of her life. No more exclusion, no more bullying—just warmth and care.
(^__^)
Their journey to Heaven Dou would take them through Suotuo City, home to Shrek Academy. But Fu Ye had no interest in visiting such a rundown place.
With time to spare, he opted for a leisurely carriage ride, enjoying the scenery.
Inside the spacious carriage, Fu Ye reclined, lost in thought about his next moves. Beside him, Xiao Wu yawned.
"Brother Fu Ye, I'm going to nap. Wake me when we arrive… Muah~"
She planted a kiss on his cheek. Wu Ling, witnessing this, quickly covered her eyes with her fingers.
'Brother Fu Ye and teacher really are a perfect match…'
Fu Ye chuckled, gently pinching Xiao Wu's nose before turning back to the window.
Then—by sheer chance—he spotted several burly men dragging a small figure into the jungle.
Fu Ye wasn't one to ignore a life in danger. But just as he prepared to intervene, the system's prompt appeared:
[Name: Tang Chuan]
[Age: 10]
[Martial Soul: Blue Silver King]
[Soul Power: Level 22]
'What the—?!'
'Is this for real?!'
Watching the men disappear into the trees, Fu Ye decided it was best not to meddle.
Still… after a moment's hesitation, he flicked a few bewitching talismans their way.
'Yu Xiaogang's had it too easy lately. Time to stir the pot.'
By evening, they arrived in Suotuo City, the early-stage hub of the original story's protagonists.
And what was the first thing to do in Suotuo City?
'Visit the infamous Rose Hotel, of course.'
He knew exactly how extravagant it was—999 red roses, milk baths, rose baths… all sorts of indulgent luxuries.
The carriage halted before the hotel's grand entrance.
"Rose Hotel? Brother Fu Ye, let's stay here tonight!" Just like in the novel, Xiao Wu was instantly enchanted.
The hotel exuded an alluring ambiance—warm lighting, soft pink and brown walls, an atmosphere of comfort and romance.
"Sure, if you want to stay here, we will."
Wu Ling, too, gazed at the lavish decor with curiosity.
"Yay!"
(＾▽＾)
Xiao Wu grabbed Wu Ling's hand and dashed inside, Fu Ye following at a leisurely pace.
The lobby was a masterpiece of opulence—lush greenery, extravagant bouquets, every detail meticulously crafted.
"Waiter, two rooms."
Fu Ye tossed a bag of gold soul coins onto the counter—enough for their stay.
The attendant, dazzled by his generosity, swiftly produced two keys.
"Here you are, sir—Blue Ocean and Red Rose."
Xiao Wu snatched them up, admiring the delicate pink and blue pendants dangling from each.
"Brother Fu Ye, which room are we staying in tonight?"
She wiggled the keys teasingly, mischief dancing in her eyes.
"Flick." Fu Ye flicked her forehead lightly.
"Oww!"
Feigning hurt, she pouted—then abruptly buried herself in his arms before he could react.
Wu Ling (internally): …What just happened?
Clerk (confused): …What am I witnessing?
But before anyone could process the scene—
"BANG!"
The door burst open, and an arrogant voice cut through the air:
"Hey, kid! Hand over the girl in your arms—and the little one next to you. Or else..."
