Snake Lance and Pufferfish Were Stunned: How Did the Young Master Become a Full-Time Nanny?
To find out what he was dealing with, Tang San drew a deep breath. The internal power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record circulated silently to his eyes, and he instantly pushed the Purple Demon Eye to its limit!
Two traces of deep purple, barely perceptible to anyone else, flashed through Tang San's eyes.
Through the Purple Demon Eye at the Detailed realm, the pedestrians on the surrounding streets, the dust drifting through the air, and even the flow of Soul Power within low-level Soul Masters became incomparably clear.
Tang San's gaze burned like a torch. Looking past the halos of lightning and water around Keqing and Mona that made even his heart tremble, he fixed his eyes on Chu Yuan, who walked between them, and tried to use the Purple Demon Eye to forcibly see through the black-haired youth's meridians, blood and Qi, and Martial Soul!
Thirty paces, twenty-five paces, twenty paces.
Chu Yuan did not break stride. His left arm was wrapped around Keqing's waist, and his hand gently stroked the smooth silk of her skirt. He seemed not to have taken the man and woman by the roadside to heart at all.
But just as Tang San's two prying beams of sight from the Purple Demon Eye were about to enter the space three feet around Chu Yuan-
Chu Yuan slowly raised his lowered eyelids and cast Tang San an indifferent glance with black eyes as deep as the starry sky.
How dare you.
No sound was made, nor did Chu Yuan need to actively use a Soul Skill.
Merely because Tang San had tried to use a mortal ocular technique to peer into the Heavenly Principles source of the Primordial One, the First Martial Soul lying dormant within Chu Yuan, the [Crown of Heavenly Principles], instinctively brought down a wisp of supreme law's pressure, which rebounded straight at Tang San along his line of sight!
"Buzz-boom!!"
In the Purple Demon Eye's field of vision, Tang San saw no human meridians at all. The instant his eyes met Chu Yuan's, he saw a radiant purple-gold divine crown suspended above the nine heavens, capable of burning all the stars in the heavens to ashes!
"Argh-!"
It was as though a divine hammer weighing ten thousand jin had smashed into Tang San's mind, and a muffled groan of unbearable pain escaped his lips!
His treasured Purple Demon Eye, which had never failed him before, instantly crumbled beneath the recoil of that wisp of Heavenly Principles law.
Tang San felt as though two red-hot iron needles had been driven into his eyes, and two glaring trails of scarlet bloody tears instantly streamed from their corners!
That vast, unfathomable force of recoil drove straight into his spiritual sea of consciousness, directly stirring up the rapidly circulating internal power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill within him.
"Pfft!"
Tang San's face turned as white as paper. The blood and Qi in his chest surged backward like rivers and seas in upheaval, and his legs gave way, dropping him to one knee!
"Brother!!"
The sudden turn of events drained the color from Xiao Wu's face. She hurried over to support the swaying Tang San, and when she saw the two trails of bloody tears from his eyes and the blood at the corner of his mouth, she looked up at Chu Yuan and his companions twenty paces away, shocked and furious:
"Brother! What's wrong?! Why are your eyes bleeding?!"
The commotion also startled passing pedestrians and Soul Masters, who stopped and looked uncertainly at Tang San kneeling on the ground and Chu Yuan's composed group.
"What happened? How did that kid take one look at the esteemed person across from him and end up vomiting blood and kneeling?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Didn't you see the bearing of that young master and the two young ladies across from him? That blue-clothed kid must not have known the rules and used some ocular Martial Soul to spy on them. He kicked an iron plate and suffered a backlash!"
Keqing and Mona stopped and coldly watched Tang San kneeling and vomiting blood beneath the colonnade.
Mona gave a soft snort, adjusted her pointed witch's hat, and muttered to Chu Yuan:
"I was wondering how someone could be so blind... Turns out he's just a guy who learned a bit of crude ocular cultivation and thought he could pry into other people's secrets whenever he pleased. Chu Yuan's fate is such a supreme existence that it could even shatter my hydromancy divination plate, and he actually dared to look straight at him with his naked eyes. He's lucky he didn't go blind on the spot."
Keqing also frowned slightly. Her cool gaze swept over the outline of a mechanical Hidden Weapon that had slipped halfway out of Tang San's sleeve because of his intense pain, and she said coldly:
"A sinister gaze and a hidden arrow up his sleeve. He looks mild on the surface, but his heart is exceptionally vicious. My lord, shall I go cripple his hands?"
"Don't, don't attack!"
Kneeling on the ground, Tang San felt as though his eyes were splitting apart, and his vision was a bloody blur. Yet his ears keenly caught Keqing's icy killing intent and the thunderous sword intent around her that chilled him to the bone.
He gripped Xiao Wu's arm tightly and, forcing down the dizziness in his head and the churning blood and Qi, yanked her behind him as she tried to rush forward and argue!
Tang San's heart was pounding uncontrollably, and his back was already soaked through with cold sweat!
Terrifying!
He had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye for more than ten years, and even when facing the Soul Grandmasters of the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City, he had never encountered a terrifying existence that could severely injure the heart meridians of his Mysterious Heaven Skill with a single glance!
"I-I am Tang San. I had no intention of offending the three of you!"
Tang San clenched his teeth. Without bothering to wipe the blood from the corners of his eyes, he bowed his head deeply in Chu Yuan's direction and spoke in a hoarse, strained voice:
"Just now, I suffered a Qi deviation while cultivating an ocular Soul Skill and unintentionally offended your dignified presence. I hope you will forgive me! Xiao Wu, apologize, quickly. We're leaving!"
"Brother, but your injuries..."
Seeing Tang San, who was usually proud and composed and never bowed his head to anyone, in such a miserable and frightened state, Xiao Wu felt both heartache and shock.
She looked up at the black-haired youth twenty paces away, surrounded by two stunningly beautiful girls.
He had just injured Tang San with that recoil, yet when Xiao Wu met Chu Yuan's deep, tranquil eyes, in which a trace of the emerald-green life force of Irminsul faintly flowed, the soul instinct of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit within her reacted as though she had encountered a forest sovereign who ruled all living spirits. She could not muster the slightest hostility or rage. Instead, her heart pounded like a startled fawn, and she lowered her head without thinking.
Chu Yuan looked down at Tang San, who had bowed his head and backed down, though the right hand hidden in his sleeve remained tense. A mocking smile curved his lips:
"Put away those unsightly bits of iron in your sleeve, along with those inferior eyes of yours that like to look where they shouldn't. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off for now. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as shedding a little blood."
The indifferent, calm voice fell on Tang San's ears like a thunderclap exploding from the nine heavens!
His Silent Sleeve Arrow-had the other party really seen through it at a glance?!
Tang San shuddered violently, an unprecedented sense of frustration and a chill enveloping him. Leaning on Xiao Wu for support, he retreated miserably into the shadows of the crowd.
Chu Yuan did not spare Tang San another glance.
A character like Tang San, who relied on Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and Twin Martial Souls to run rampant early on, was no more than a roadside pebble that he, now wielding the [Crown of Heavenly Principles] and [Irminsul], could crush at will.
The best diversion would be to wait until he advanced into the Star Dou Great Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then strip him of all the opportunities that belonged to him and the rabbit at his side.
"Let's go, Mona. Lead the way to that dark alley in the northwest of the city."
Chu Yuan wrapped his arms around Keqing's and Mona's slender waists, then turned and strolled toward the dim streets northwest of the commercial district.
Tang San, hiding in the shadows at a street corner, listened to the footsteps of Chu Yuan's group recede. Only then did he dare raise his sleeve to wipe the bloody tears from his eyes. He gasped for breath, his expression dark and horrified to the extreme:
"How could such a terrifying, unfathomable youth suddenly appear in Suotuo City...? Could they really be connected to the strange phenomenon of the heavens splitting open last night...?"
Xiao Wu, who was supporting him, looked back in a daze at Chu Yuan's upright figure disappearing around the street corner into the night. The supreme breath of life that haunted her dreams seemed still to linger at the tip of her nose, and her pretty face was full of bewilderment and confusion.
