Abdominal Toad, City of Slaughter!

Abdominal Toad, City of Slaughter!

"Erlong, there's a place I'm going that you might not be able to enter..."

Bibi Dong's words startled Liu Erlong. For her good sister to say something like that, the place was obviously extremely dangerous.

"Dong'er, don't worry. I'll go with you when the time comes. The Hall Master will send people to protect me."

Liu Erlong waved her hand. Safety? She was not worried about that in the slightest. Xu Xin would never just watch her fall into danger, would he?

Besides, she still had the mask. That was a powerful weapon too.

"It's different, Erlong. In that place, soul skills can't be used. The restrictions are severe. You can enter, but you might not be able to come back out."

Bibi Dong held her hand and spoke softly.

"Sister Dong'er is talking about the City of Slaughter, right? That place would actually suit Erlong quite well."

Xu Xin slowly spoke up. If it was the City of Slaughter, then it was indeed quite suitable.

With Liu Erlong's violent temper, combined with her current strength, it was hard to say who would beat whom.

Going inside to train would not be a bad idea either.

"You actually know about it, Xu Xin?" Bibi Dong looked at Xu Xin in surprise. This little fellow knew far too much.

Ghost Douluo was equally shocked. It must have been someone behind him who told him. It seemed Shadow Hall truly could not be provoked; they even knew about something so secretive.

They could only befriend them, not offend them. The waters behind them ran a little deep.

Xu Xin: ...I didn't say anything. He guessed it all himself.

"Since the Hall Master says I can go, then we'll go together when the time comes. We can look after each other!"

Liu Erlong held Bibi Dong's hand and spoke earnestly.

Bibi Dong looked at Xu Xin, then at Liu Erlong, before nodding. "Alright. We'll go together when the time comes."

"In that case, Ghost Elder, go ask my teacher. He still needs to decide on this transaction. If it works, then it's settled."

Bibi Dong turned to Ghost Douluo beside her and said with a smile.

Ghost Douluo nodded, instantly turning into a ghostly shadow and vanishing. Bibi Dong also stayed at Shadow Hall, naturally sleeping with Liu Erlong.

After all, they were close.

The little spat between Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo ultimately ended in Dugu Bo's defeat. But Dugu Bo had no sense of fair play. In the end, he put on the mask and had the Claw Shadow Soldiers give Chrysanthemum Douluo a vicious beating.

"Dugu Bo, you have no honor at all!!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was so furious that his voice became even sharper.

"Hahahahaha. Ju Hua Guan, that's because I'm one of Shadow Hall's people."

Dugu Bo left with a loud laugh. After all these years, he had finally turned the tables!!

What a satisfying feeling.

Three days later, Ghost Douluo returned once more.

"Saintess, His Excellency the Pope said you are fully responsible for this. He will not interfere," Ghost Douluo said respectfully.

Bibi Dong nodded. "Xu Xin, since that is the case, then this transaction is settled. What do you think?"

Xu Xin had no objections. He would not lose out anyway. It was a guaranteed profit, so why not?

After the deal was reached, Bibi Dong rested at Shadow Hall for a few days before setting off for the City of Slaughter with Liu Erlong.

Bibi Dong also sent people to take over the transaction...

"City of Slaughter... Tang Hao, Tang Hao, there's finally hope for your wife."

Xu Xin put on the Tara Mask, and a deep murmur slowly left his lips. He stood atop the highest floor of Shadow Hall, gazing into the distance.

It seemed he needed to make a trip to the City of Slaughter. Now that A Yin was gone, Tang San needed a good mother.

The wind in the sky slowly blew past, gently brushing against the mask. Strands of black aura drifted out from it, carried away into the distance by the wind.

He still had to make a trip to the City of Slaughter.

After enjoying the breeze for a while, Xu Xin leisurely went to find A Yin. "Sister A Yin, is there any way in this world for a man to have a child?"

The moment Xu Xin asked that question, the look in A Yin's eyes changed.

"You... don't actually need to sacrifice yourself like this. I... ahem, Erlong can have children."

A Yin's face suddenly reddened as she spoke awkwardly. Why was this guy suddenly asking about that?

"Ah?"

"No, no, Sister A Yin, you misunderstood. I know you... pfft, I know Sister Erlong can have children."

"But I'm not asking because of her. I'm asking because of Tang Hao."

Xu Xin immediately explained, sounding utterly helpless.

"Tang Hao? What does this have to do with him?"

A Yin looked at Xu Xin curiously. What bad idea had he come up with this time?

"Hmph, that guy still has ulterior motives. When the pills were being sold, he actually asked me about you. That look in his eyes..."

"Anyway, since he's like this, no matter what, I have to find him a good wife."

Xu Xin gave a sly grin. He had originally worried there was no one suitable, but after what Bibi Dong had said earlier, he had found a direction.

City of Slaughter.

A place filled with evil, slaughter, and bloodshed. The people there were the most suitable for Tang Hao.

"Let me think."

Hearing Xu Xin say that, A Yin immediately grew interested. This guy really wouldn't give up on his wicked ideas...

A Yin kept thinking, turning it over and over in her mind.

"Got it!"

"There's a type of toad among soul beasts. It should work."

A Yin said excitedly.

"A toad? Sister A Yin, tell me more." Xu Xin was intrigued as well. The world was vast indeed, full of all manner of strange things.

It was also Xu Xin's first time learning that such a bizarre soul beast existed among soul beasts.

"This type of toad is called the Abdominal Toad!"

"The Abdominal Toad race consists entirely of females. These toads are dark green all over, with backs covered in pustules—disgusting beyond belief—but they have a pearl inside their bodies."

"That pearl can nurture life, and it is also the source of their life force."

"To take out the pearl, you can only kill it. But once it dies, all of its traits enter the pearl."

"And that pearl can make male soul beasts give birth. However, their offspring almost always inherit the Abdominal Toad's traits, so... that appearance... Bleurgh!!"

As she spoke, A Yin nearly threw up. It was simply too disgusting.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

But wasn't this perfect for Tang Hao? Hehehe... when the time came, they could go to the City of Slaughter...

Xu Xin immediately thought of a good plan.

This toad was truly wonderful. It really suited that guy Tang San—disgusting, gloomy, vicious... Tsk, tsk. Xu Xin had never expected there to be something so compatible.

Not bad at all.

"Sister A Yin, doesn't it need both yin and yang?"

Xu Xin asked again.

"Cough, cough, it does, it does. That pearl is basically just providing a place to stay. Everything else that should be there is still needed."

A Yin was embarrassed even as she said it, but since he had asked, she had to explain it clearly.

Xu Xin nodded. That was good. If he didn't give Tang Hao a little sweetness first, how could Tang Hao possibly take the bait?

The transformation plan was still underway. The road ahead was long and arduous.

Xu Xin had never imagined that such a miraculous soul beast truly existed in nature. It had really broadened his horizons.

"But Sister A Yin, wouldn't the Abdominal Toad race go extinct?"

They were all female toads, so how did they reproduce...

"Speaking of that, I have to mention the pearl's other function."

"Among the descendants born through that pearl, their next generation has a twenty percent chance of being an Abdominal Toad..."

Xu Xin: "??"

Th-this... in that case... Tang San, Tang San's descendants might be toads?

Ah, this...

Good, good. This was really not bad at all!!
