Ah Yin's Revival

The ice stirred in her mouth, making Tang Feng, who had just felt unbearably hot, shiver from the cold.

In the end, he couldn't hold back and finished much earlier than last time.

Qian Renxue spat the ice and the filth into the spittoon. Seeing how spent Tang Feng looked, she smiled smugly.

She lay down beside Tang Feng and whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Feng, can't you keep it up? Why were you so quick?"

The next morning, at the God Ascension Stairway.

After a painful night of reflection and a thorough humiliation at Qian Renxue's hands, Tang Feng decided to step up his physical training.

On the seventieth step, sweat poured down Tang Feng's body, dripping onto the stair one drop at a time.

Tang Feng felt as though he were carrying a small mountain on his back as he crawled forward, the weight pressing him down so hard that he couldn't straighten his back at all.

He even felt as though the immense pressure had made him several centimeters shorter.

Tang Feng struggled into a cross-legged position and took Da Ming's blood out of the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch. Under the control of his Soul Power, the blood floated in front of his chest. Like someone practicing the Star-Absorbing Great Technique, Tang Feng drew the Dragon's Qi and power from the blood bit by bit.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

"Roar~"

An excited roar burst from Tang Feng's mouth.

On the God Ascension Stairway, azure light blazed around Tang Feng, and dragon-shaped light and shadows could faintly be seen moving across his skin.

Today, relying on the first stage of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, the Azure Dragon Skin realm, he had finally surpassed Qian Renxue once again on the God Ascension Stairway.

Although it was only Qian Renxue's result from half a year ago...

It was still enough to keep Tang Feng excited for a long while. After all, he had finally developed Azure Dragon Skin.

Da Ming, however, was growing thinner by the day in the storage space. Even though Tang Feng used Life Blessing on him every day to restore his HP, he still couldn't keep up with Tang Feng's growing demand for blood.

"Come to think of it, the school term starts in a few days."

"It's time to pay Shrek a visit," Tang Feng thought as he walked down the God Ascension Stairway one step at a time.

There was no other reason. Black stockings, long legs, a beauty, huge boobs~ (he licked his lips two and a half times), and throw in a bit of that aloof contrast, a little kitty. He loved that type, really, fucking loved it!

After leaving Spirit City, Tang Feng first went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Tang Feng had cared for Ah Yin for six years, and after obtaining her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he had also used Life Blessing on her every week.

One more blessing today would just about let Ah Yin break through the thousand-year threshold and join the ranks of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

By then, Ah Yin should be conscious as well.

Tang Feng had just passed through the poisonous miasma and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when a woman's voice reached his ears.

"Are you... Xiao Feng?"

Tang Feng froze. The voice had clearly come from the direction where he had planted Ah Yin.

Tang Feng turned excitedly to look and saw a woman sitting on a branch of the Blue Silver Emperor, which had grown to the size of a great tree. Her smooth, jade-like feet swung back and forth, and she looked to be around twenty-five years old.

She wore a long blue-and-gold dress that covered her body, and her azure hair fell loose over her shoulders. Above them was an indescribably beautiful face, one that seemed not to belong to the mortal world.

More importantly, there was her bearing: noble and elegant, matched with eyes as tender as water that inspired affection and pity.

Just sitting there, she was already a breathtaking sight, naturally perfect and beautiful beyond compare.

She was simply... stunning...

Tang Feng stared dumbstruck. Was this really Ah Yin?

"Hey~"

Up in the tree, Ah Yin saw that Tang Feng wasn't moving or answering her earlier question. She cupped one hand around her mouth like a megaphone and raised the other to wave as she asked again:

"Can you hear me?"

"I can sense that you have the same Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline as me. Are you a Blue Silver Emperor who took human form too?"

Looking at the lively, lovely Ah Yin in the tree, Tang Feng smiled from the bottom of his heart.

As he smiled, he began to cry. Tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes, blurring his vision until he could no longer see Ah Yin in the tree in the distance.

"Huh?"

Ah Yin was deeply puzzled when Tang Feng suddenly began crying below her, and she didn't know why.

At the same time, she also seemed to feel a little moved. Perhaps she ought to do something to comfort Tang Feng down below.

Ah Yin jumped down from the tree, avoided the Immortal Herbs nearby, and hurried toward Tang Feng.

When she reached him, Ah Yin stretched out a hand to wipe away his tears.

Soft branches extending from Ah Yin's main body in the distance wiped the tears away.

"Although I don't know why you're crying,"

"you've already grown so big. You probably shouldn't be crying like this."

"So... are you Xiao Feng?" Ah Yin blinked playfully a few times and looked into Tang Feng's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Tang Feng nodded hard several times and wiped away the tears Ah Yin had missed. His voice slightly choked, he said:

"Yes, I'm Xiao Feng."

Having received Tang Feng's definite answer, Ah Yin smiled faintly and said:

"I knew it. I couldn't have sensed it wrong."

"Thank you for everything these past years..."

"Xiao Feng."

"Thank you for doing so much for me."

"Although I don't know why I became your mother,"

"when I'm clearly still a beautiful young maiden,"

"I still want to tell you that from now on, you're a child with a home too..."

"I love you, Xiao Feng."

Those words were like the last whisper, piercing armor, piercing his heart, and landing a critical hit, completely shattering Tang Feng's final psychological defense.

Tang Feng broke down completely, sobbing aloud.

Seeing this, Ah Yin extended several more soft branches. As she hugged Tang Feng, the branches wrapped around him too.

After a long while, the sound of crying in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gradually faded.

Holding Tang Feng's hand, Ah Yin walked toward her main body one step at a time.

Behind her, Tang Feng watched Ah Yin and gained a clear understanding of her current state.

She had absolutely no memories of her previous transformation into human form. What she knew of him came only from sensing their bloodline connection and her earlier faint awareness of the outside world: she knew that a son named Tang Feng had always been by her side.

It made sense, when he thought about it. Although Ah Yin had been revived through the seed she had left behind after sacrificing herself, the Soul Ring that held her soul had never returned to her main body.

From Ah Yin's perspective, she had originally lived in a pitch-black little cave for nearly seven years. Then a mysterious person with a faint bloodline connection to her had dripped blood on her, dug her up, and planted her in a treasured place suited to plant cultivation.

The mysterious person named Tang Feng told her interesting stories about things happening on the continent every week.

Because her cultivation had not reached ten thousand years, her intelligence had not fully awakened. Ah Yin had been unable to fully understand the outside matters Tang Feng spoke of, and she couldn't hear his words clearly either, so she had always acted on instinct.

Not until today, when Ah Yin broke through to ten-thousand-year cultivation and her intelligence fully awakened, did she piece together the indistinct words she had heard before and roughly deduce Tang Feng's identity.

He was probably her son, whom she had never met and who had appeared out of nowhere.

Honestly, she was clearly still a gentle, gracious, beautiful, virtuous, and pure young maiden.
