Confessing His Origins
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, revealing Dugu Yan's room to be a complete mess.
Dugu Yan lay in Tang San, her hair disheveled, her face still flushed from the previous night.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, a lazy smile played on her lips, and she looked content.
Tang San gently stroked the Eight Spider Lances patterns on her back with one hand and asked, "Yan Yan, what improvements have these Eight Spider Lances brought you? What skills have they provided?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's smile deepened.
She raised a hand and drew circles on Tang San's chest, her voice soft and sweet, like someone experiencing pleasure for the first time. "As for the boost... it increases all attributes by fifty percent and movement speed by one hundred percent when used."
Tang San paused for a moment. With a 50% increase in all attributes from the start, Dugu Yan's advantage would be even more terrifying.
Dugu Yan continued, "Furthermore, it possesses a powerful devouring skill, capable of absorbing the opponent's Soul Power and converting it entirely into its own. Additionally, it can absorb various toxins and has extremely strong detoxification abilities. Finally, I sensed that the Eight Spider Lances are extremely sharp and can be used as weapons, inflicting the deadly venom of the Man Faced Demon Spider upon attack."
Tang San nodded. "That's right, and the External Soul Bone can grow along with your strength. You've only just absorbed it. As your Soul Power increases, the power of the Eight Spider Lances will also increase. It will gradually become easier and more comfortable to use."
Recalling the scene of Dugu Yan's top being torn to shreds last night, Tang San added, "We just need to have a few sets of clothes custom-made. We need to leave eight slits in the back, or use a special material, otherwise you'll be exposed every time you use your External Soul Bone. I don't want others to see things they shouldn't see."
Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly. She lightly punched Tang San's chest and said reproachfully, "You still dare to talk? Who was it that stared so intently last night?"
Tang San coughed, "Uh, I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself."
Dugu Yan sat up from Tang San, stretched lazily, and her perfect figure was on full display in the morning light.
She turned her head to look at Tang San: "How about we go shopping in Heaven Dou City today?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."
The two quickly tidied up the messy room, left the small building, and arrived at Ye Lingling's door next door.
Dugu Yan raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened, Ye Lingling walked out. Her gaze fell on Dugu Yan's face. Dugu Yan's complexion was much better than yesterday, and her skin was fair and rosy.
Ye Lingling had been learning medicine from her grandfather since she was a child, and being a girl, she could naturally tell what had happened last night. A hint of shyness flashed in her blue eyes.
Dugu Yan casually took Ye Lingling's arm. "Lingling, let's go shopping in Heaven Dou City today."
Ye Lingling glanced at Tang San saw that he was smiling at her, so her face flushed slightly.
The three walked side by side, with Dugu Yan holding one of Tang San's arms and Ye Lingling's hand in the other.
On the campus of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, many students were out and about early in the morning. When they saw Tang San, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling walking side by side, they all turned to look at them.
Dugu Yan is the school beauty of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Ye Lingling is also a well-known beauty.
One is aloof and proud, the other is elegant and otherworldly.
If looks could kill, Tang San would already be torn to pieces by now.
The three walked out of the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed towards Heaven Dou City.
Upon entering the city gate, the bustling prosperity of Heaven Dou City immediately comes into view. The streets are wide and clean, lined with shops on both sides, offering everything imaginable.
Tang San had just won 300,000 Gold Soul Coins from Yu Tianheng, yesterday, so he was naturally very generous.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling bought all the clothes and jewelry they liked.
Douluo Continent has Storage Soul Tools, which are "lifesaving artifacts," otherwise Tang San would have been completely engulfed by them.
After wandering around for most of the day, from the east side of the city to the west side, I ended up at the Dugu Manor in the west of the city.
Dugu Yan pushed open the door and entered. After passing through the front yard, the three of them arrived at the garden in the inner courtyard.
"Grandpa, we're here." Dugu Yan let go of Tang San's hand, skipped and hopped to Dugu Bo's side, and tiptoed to kiss him.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment by the kiss, then burst into laughter. "Why are you so happy today?"
Dugu Yan's eyes were full of pride. "Grandpa, I have good news for you."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "What good news?"
Dugu Yan took a few steps back, and with a thought, eight deep purple spider legs burst out from her back and spread out to the sides.
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly. He circled Dugu Yan several times, his gaze fixed on the eight spider legs.
"This is... External Soul Bone?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled. "Where did you get it?"
Dugu Yan put away the Eight Spider Lances, ran to Tang San's Tang San, took his arm, and said sweetly, "Third Brother gave them to me!"
Although Dugu Yan is several years older than Tang San is stronger in certain aspects. The outcome of last night's great battle has been decided, and it has also determined who will be the king and queen in the future. Therefore, Dugu Yan will have to call him Third Brother from now on.
"Good lad!" Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Tang San, and he exclaimed, "This is External Soul Bone, and you're willing to give it to Yan Yan?"
Tang San smiled and said, "Yan Yan is my woman. If I don't give her to her, who else should I give her to?"
Dugu Bo burst into laughter and patted Tang San on the shoulder. "Good! Good! Good!"
Dugu Bo said "good" three times in a row, "I knew I hadn't misjudged this grandson-in-law. I'm relieved that Yan Yan is with you."
Dugu Yan blushed, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
She tiptoed and kissed Tang San on the cheek again.
The four sat around a stone table in the garden.
Tang San's expression turned serious, and he said with an unusual solemnity, "There is something I need to confess to you."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "What's making you so serious, kid?"
"It's about my background," Tang San said.
Dugu Bo's lips curled into a smile as he teased, "What's there to be ashamed of about your background? Did you spring out of a rock or something?"
"Oh dear, Grandpa, let Third Brother speak for himself. You keep interrupting him." Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Dugu Bo, her tone slightly reproachful.
After being scolded by Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, "I'm doomed. My granddaughter only has eyes for this brat now. She won't even listen to me."
He waved his hand. "Alright, alright, I won't interrupt. Go on, go on."
Tang San took a deep breath and slowly said, "My father's name is Tang Hao. The great battle between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect more than ten years ago was started because of my father."
"The reason is me... My mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who transformed into human form."
"My parents were hunted down by the Spirit Hall, and in the end, my mother sacrificed herself for my father. Then, my father took me and went into hiding in a village near Nuoding City."
After Tang San finished speaking, the scene fell silent, Dugu Bo and the other two were all shocked, their mouths agape.
After a long silence, Dugu Bo was the first to react.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo. The great battle between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall back then shook the entire continent. I always thought it was just a feud between sects, but I never imagined... there was such a story behind it."
