Return to Holy Soul Village, Intercept Mom's Bone

After class ended.

Su Mu had just returned to the dormitory area, carrying some food.

He heard a commotion coming from the work-study students' dormitory.

"Tang San, you stink! Who let you in here?"

As Xiao Wu spoke in disgust, a group of people shoved Tang San out of the dormitory.

Tang San still couldn't stand on the leg that had been struck by the bolt.

He staggered and landed on his butt outside Su Mu's door.

Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips.

Standing in the doorway, she raised a hand and pointed at Tang San.

"I'm the boss of this dormitory. If you don't wash yourself clean,"

"and you still stink,"

"then don't come in!"

With that, Xiao Wu slammed the dormitory door shut with a clang.

Tang San looked at the tightly shut door, his eyes full of helplessness.

He couldn't let Xiao Wu hate him any more.

He had better do as she said for now.

At that thought, Tang San sighed.

He staggered to his feet.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced back toward Su Mu.

When he saw Su Mu, Tang San's eyes filled with killing intent.

"Why are you standing out there instead of coming in?"

Just then.

Gu Yuena opened the dormitory window.

She poked her head out.

Gu Yuena had just finished bathing, and her hair was dripping wet.

She wore only a thin white nightgown.

Perhaps because she hadn't dried all the water off her body.

Some parts looked rather see-through.

Su Mu looked away and carried the food into the dormitory.

When Tang San saw this, his eyes looked ready to spew fire.

But Tang San soon looked away.

He took off his clothes.

And began washing himself.

That night, Su Mu lay quietly in bed.

After waiting a long time, Su Mu heard nothing suspicious.

Curiosity got the better of him, and Su Mu turned over, pretending it was an ordinary movement in his sleep.

He also imitated what he had seen in television dramas in his previous life.

He smacked his lips a few times, making some noise.

He heard no response.

Su Mu opened his eyes a crack.

Gu Yuena was sleeping.

Moonlight streamed through the window, falling on Gu Yuena's face.

Seeing this, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning.

After Su Mu was once again awakened by the system's voice.

He saw that Gu Yuena was just as she had been the day before.

Su Mu quietly slipped out of the dormitory again.

After Su Mu saw Tang San finish cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.

Tang San didn't continue cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill as usual.

Instead, he headed out of the school.

Su Mu watched, puzzled.

After their encounter the previous day.

He could tell that Tang San was acting strangely.

After some thought, Su Mu followed Tang San at a distance.

Is this kid leaving the city?

When he followed him to the gates of Nuoding City.

Su Mu discovered that Tang Hao was there too.

He looked as though he was waiting for Tang San.

After exchanging a few words, the two raced off in one direction.

Su Mu didn't dare follow immediately.

Looking in the direction they had gone, Su Mu murmured, "Holy Soul Village?"

On second thought.

Su Mu returned to the city.

He bought some gifts and food before setting off after them.

After returning to Holy Soul Village, just as he entered the village.

Su Mu ran into Old Jack.

"Little Mu, you're back too?"

Su Mu smiled at the old man before him.

"Grandpa Jack, I came back for a visit and brought you a few things."

Old Jack looked at the things Su Mu handed him.

The wrinkles on his face gathered into a smile.

Even so, he grumbled.

"Just come back. Why bring anything? You're wasting money."

Su Mu scratched his head, smiled, and asked, "Grandpa Jack, why did you say I was back too?"

Hearing this, Old Jack grew somewhat angry.

"Tang Hao brought Tang San back just now."

"I ran into them and said hello, but they ignored me completely."

Hearing this, Su Mu thought that it was just as he had expected.

But what else is here?

Does Tang San want to make better Hidden Weapons?

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

Isn't Tang San's mom's bone still here?

At that thought, Su Mu said goodbye to Old Jack.

Using the descriptions in the original book.

He began searching around the village.

In a forest near Holy Soul Village.

Tang Hao brought Tang San all the way to a hidden cave.

Tang Hao looked at the resolute Tang San beside him, a trace of guilt appearing in his eyes.

"Xiao San, we're here."

Tang Hao's voice was gentle.

Tang San looked at a Blue Silver Grass plant on the ground.

He silently swore to himself.

Don't worry. I resurrected you last time, and I definitely can do it again this time.

"Xiao San, I told you before."

"Your mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who took human form."

"After your mother sacrificed herself, she left behind a seed."

"This Blue Silver Grass is essentially your mother."

Tang Hao looked at Tang San and spoke slowly.

Seeing no reaction from Tang San, Tang Hao felt somewhat displeased.

Only after gathering his thoughts did Tang San notice the dark look on Tang Hao's face beside him.

"Dad, I know."

"In the future, I'll definitely find a way to resurrect Mom."

Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao's expression improved somewhat.

"I only hope you won't forget your mother."

Tang Hao naturally didn't believe that resurrection was possible.

"Come, I'll take out the Soul Bone your mother left you now."

"You must make good use of it."

Tang Hao led Tang San a few steps farther.

He began digging in the ground.

Before long.

A lead box appeared in a small pit.

Tang Hao took the box out with trembling hands.

He handed it to Tang San.

After receiving the box, Tang San opened it at once.

Inside lay a Soul Bone, blue and gold throughout and crystal clear, with what looked like specks of starlight flickering within it. It was as if this right leg bone possessed a life of its own.

A familiar feeling of life brought tears to Tang San's eyes.

Seeing Tang San's reaction.

Tang Hao was greatly comforted.

"Begin, Xiao San."

"I believe you'll be able to absorb this Soul Bone perfectly."

Tang San nodded.

He took out the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

He placed it on his right leg.

Su Mu had been searching around the village all this time.

If Tang Hao really had brought Tang San here to absorb the Soul Bone.

And the system failed to detect it, that would be a huge loss.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Su Mu's mind.

[Detected Tang San absorbing the 'Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone'. Intercept?]

Hearing the system notification, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Here it comes!!

"Intercept."

[Successfully intercepted Tang San's 'Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone'.]

[Host, please choose 'Exchange for Interception Points' or 'Make It My Own'.]

"Make It My Own!"

Su Mu didn't hesitate.

This thing was a treasure, possessing powerful vitality.

Most outrageously, it could even fly.

Although he didn't know how Blue Silver Grass could fly.

This Soul Bone came with that skill.

[Interception and Make It My Own successful.]

[Would the host like to spend 100 Interception Points to strengthen it?]

"Strengthen!"

Su Mu was eager to know what age the strengthened Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone would reach.

[Strengthening successful. 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone' strengthened into 'Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone'.]

['Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone' has been placed in system storage.]

[Host, please choose Discounted Refund.]
