Tang San looked at his father in shock. Could it be that his father had heard the conversation between him and Xiao Wu just now?
"Actually, I've known her identity as a Spirit Beast for a long time. I've known since you were studying at the Notting City Junior Primary Academy!"
This time, Tang San was even more shocked.
"Then why didn't you tell me!" Tang San asked without thinking.
Tang Hao thought to himself, What a silly son. What use would it have been to tell you back then? Did you need a 100,000-Year Soul Ring then?
Tang Hao looked deeply at Tang San and said, "Do you think I would have any prejudice against her identity? What does it matter if one is human or a Spirit Beast? Since she chose to transform into human form, she is a human just like you and me. Because she was born a Spirit Beast, her heart is simple, and her feelings are instead more sincere!"
Tang San was shocked once again. His father didn't care at all about Xiao Wu's identity as a Spirit Beast. He even encouraged him to be with Xiao Wu in his words.
Of course, he had long been irredeemably in love with Xiao Wu; he was just momentarily stunned to learn that she was a transformed Spirit Beast. Earlier, he had already asked himself and reached a definite conclusion: even if Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast, he would still be with her.
"Father, you don't object to me being with Xiao Wu?" Tang San asked to confirm once more.
"Sigh!" Tang Hao let out a sigh. "Silly child, you truly are the son of A Yin and me. Even our destinies are so similar."
Tang San was puzzled at first, but he quickly reacted. He asked excitedly, "Father, are you going to tell me Mother's story?"
He had asked Tang Hao many times before, but unfortunately, Tang Hao had never been willing to tell him. Now that he had heard his mother's name, A Yin, Tang San connected it to his own Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and a suspicion began to form in his heart.
Tang Hao's eyes gradually reddened. After a moment of preparation, he began to tell the story. He spoke of how he and Tang Xiao became the Haotian Twin Stars and traveled the continent. He spoke of the beautiful times the three of them spent together when they met A Yin during their travels.
"Just like Xiao Wu, it was also on a certain night that A Yin told me her identity. She was the 100,000-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, transformed into human form. At that time, I was just like you are now—unbelievably shocked. That was a 100,000-Year Soul Beast; I never imagined that A Yin, who lived with us day and night, was a Spirit Beast. But I quickly accepted that fact and still firmly expressed my love to her. Only then did you come along. Xiao San, I want to tell you that your mother, A Yin, was the gentlest and kindest woman in this world. Our feelings were more sincere than any human's feelings!"
Tang San's eyes were vacant. Not only was Xiao Wu a Spirit Beast, but his mother, A Yin, was also a Spirit Beast. He was the son of a Spirit Beast.
"Father, what happened later? Where did Mother go?" Tang San asked impatiently.
Tang Hao's expression turned reminiscent, and his face filled with extreme pain. "On the very day you were born, the people from Spirit Hall found us. The former Pope of Spirit Hall brought two Titled Douluos to hunt your mother for her Spirit Ring and seize her Soul Bone. A great war broke out. At that time, I only had Level 89 Soul Power; how could I defeat three Titled Douluos? For you and for me, A Yin sacrificed her life and soul to become my Ninth Soul Ring. Only by relying on the strength of a Titled Douluo did I have the power to fight back. I fought them for three days and three nights. In the end, the former Pope of Spirit Hall was heavily wounded by me, and of the other two Titled Douluos, one died and one was severely injured. A Yin became my Spirit Ring, staying with me forever and letting me feel her warmth every day, but she can never appear before me again. This was all caused by Spirit Hall!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, his heart full of hatred.
"Spirit Hall... how hateful... Father, I will definitely avenge Mother. She was too pitiful!" Tang San suddenly raised his head, wishing he could charge into Spirit Hall right now and turn it upside down.
Tang Hao nodded gratifiedly. "Son, if A Yin could see your current strength, she would surely be proud of you. She certainly wouldn't stop you from being with Xiao Wu either. Remember what I said just now? A real man must bravely pursue his love. Since you love Xiao Wu, you must let her know. Constant bitter cultivation alone is not conducive to increasing strength. Only by traveling the continent together to gain experience can our strength improve faster."
Tang San's eyes were bright as he said seriously, "Father, I understand. I will definitely treat Xiao Wu well."
He also wanted to be like his father, traveling the continent with Xiao Wu, flying together, and then reaching the level of Titled Douluo together. Ideally, they would leave behind a title, just like his teacher did with the fame of the Golden Iron Triangle. When the time came, he would discuss it with Xiao Wu and come up with a formidable title.
Tang San continued to envision the future in his heart.
Tang Hao, however, cursed "silly son" again in his heart. You still don't understand what I mean, but it doesn't matter. There are some things I will do for you.
Soon Tang Hao departed. Tang San didn't sleep all night, constantly thinking about what he would do after returning to the continent.
First, he had to forge hidden weapons. Now that his strength had grown significantly, most of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons could be used. It would be best if he could forge the top-ranked Tang Sect Hidden Weapons; that way, he wouldn't have to fear any enemies while traveling the continent. He wanted to forge the Peacock Feather, the Storm Pear Blossom Needle, and the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus together with his uncle and father.
These hidden weapons possessed great lethality even when facing a Titled Douluo. He had to let these Tang Sect Hidden Weapons shine brilliantly on the Douluo Continent.
Tang San thought excitedly until dawn before calming his restless heart.
After having breakfast with the other six devils, they arrived at the pier and boarded the ship back to the continent.
On the deck of the sea vessel, as the group gazed at the sea view and watched Poseidon Island gradually recede into the distance, they were all quite moved.
"I wonder what level Dai Laoda has cultivated to. I bet he's definitely at the bottom of our Seven Devils now!" Ma Hongjun said somewhat triumphantly.
"It's a real pity Dai Laoda couldn't come to Poseidon Island. If the opportunities here were made known to the continent, it would probably drive all the Land Soul Masters crazy!" Oscar also let out a sigh.
Before coming, who could have imagined that their levels would increase by more than twenty ranks in over four years? Such speed was simply unheard of.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who were nearby, both showed expressions of disdain.
"Don't mention Dai Mubai. He even dared to send people to capture Zhu Qing to take her back as his Crown Princess. If I hadn't run into them in the Star Dou Great Forest last time, Zhu Qing would have been taken away. Truly detestable!" Xiao Wu said with a pout.
As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately fell silent.
Xiao Wu, with her big mouth, had long ago made public the matter of Dai Mubai sending people to capture Zhu Zhuqing after the six of them reunited. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had both "severed their robes" with him, effectively expelling Dai Mubai from the Shrek Seven Devils.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, had a close relationship with Dai Mubai and still remembered him as one of the Shrek Devils.
