I Know a Good Hotel

Su Cheng glanced at Ah Yin, who looked bewildered, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Although they were deep in the Blue Silver Grass Forest, far from the outside world, Tang Hao's voice could not reach them.

However, the outer barrier was clearly constructed by Ah Yin using the special environment of this forest. She is the core of this small world and can definitely sense the situation outside, and she must have heard Tang Hao's call.

However, her complete lack of reaction speaks volumes.

Furthermore, considering the obvious change in Ah Yin's expression when she first saw him, coupled with the unique energy fluctuations that weren't entirely the same as Soul Power, Su Cheng quickly determined, after ruling out many possibilities, that Ah Yin's current situation was very special, and it was highly likely that she, like him, had inherited the state of the real world.

Su Cheng figured it out, but Ah Yin, who was standing opposite him, didn't react as quickly.

Limited by a lack of intelligence, she was somewhat unable to understand what was happening.

Ah Yin glanced at the hesitant Blue Silver King, then at the smiling young man Su Cheng not far in front of her, and a guess began to form in her mind...

Su Cheng was reborn too?!

She found it hard to accept this fact, yet she couldn't think of any other explanation.

Otherwise, how could Su Cheng, who is only fifteen years old, possess such great strength?

In my memory, although he was also outstanding at the same age, he was only a super-standard peak Soul King whose combat power was comparable to a high-level Soul Douluo.

Looking at it now, the fact that the other party was able to break through the energy blockade outside the Blue Silver Grass Forest so easily and silently is simply too exaggerated.

It should be noted that the barrier was not only of extremely high power, but was also constructed based on the entire forest. Even if Limit Douluo came, it would be difficult for him to break through it without resorting to violent means.

But since Su Cheng has also been reborn, why didn't he find me immediately and take me away from my slumber?

Thinking of this, Ah Yin couldn't help but show a hint of gloom and grievance on her face.

What do all my thoughts and efforts over the years amount to?

Su Cheng immediately noticed the subtle change in expression that flashed briefly across that delicate face.

He quickly explained, "Actually, I went to look for you, but when I arrived at that cave, I found that neither you nor your Soul Bone had disappeared."

"After I regained consciousness, I slept there for three years, and then stayed there for another three years after I woke up," Ah Yin said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng also looked enlightened, realizing that the two of them had just missed each other in time. So he frankly said, "Earlier, I was trapped in an independent space and cultivated there for nearly six years before I left. After that, I didn't linger too long before I went to find you."

"..." Upon hearing this, Ah Yin looked at him suspiciously, pondering the truthfulness of his words.

This guy has too many criminal records, which makes her have to think twice.

"Hey, you don't think I'm lying to you, do you?"

"That's right." Ah Yin snorted lightly, making no attempt to hide her attitude.

"..." Su Cheng paused for a moment, then pointed at the Blue Silver King, who was still confused about the situation, "If you don't believe me, ask it if I was here before."

"Uh..." The Blue Silver King, who was suddenly affected, sighed helplessly. He dared not refute it and could only reluctantly admit, "That's right."

"Is that really what he said?" Seeing its hesitant expression, Ah Yin emphasized, "Tell me everything that happened back then, without hiding anything. Don't worry, with me here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

Upon hearing Ah Yin's words, a distinct bitter smile appeared on his aged face, which was composed of numerous roots.

"This gentleman did indeed come here a few years ago, before you returned, and he..."

What did he do to you?

"Nothing much, except that I was warned that I should not help a certain human with the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to undergo Second Awakening in the future."

Su Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything too outrageous at the time, otherwise I would have had a hard time explaining myself to Ah Yin.

Moreover, the old tree was clearly aware of the situation and knew not to speak carelessly, thus glossing over the conflict in a single sentence.

Unfortunately, Ah Yin is not as easily fooled as she used to be, and she has keenly sensed that there is another hidden story.

She glanced at the Blue Silver King with disappointment in her eyes and said indifferently, "Now even you have to lie to me?"

"..." Upon seeing this, Su Cheng immediately realized that something was wrong.

As expected, the Blue Silver King couldn't stand her behavior any longer. He dared not hide anything anymore and no longer cared about Su Cheng's feelings. He quickly added, "This gentleman is too powerful, his aura is somewhat terrifying. He told me that if I didn't heed his advice, he would level this entire forest afterwards..."

"Su Cheng!" Ah Yin's eyebrows shot up as she glared at Su Cheng and shouted angrily.

To her, the Blue Silver King was an elder who had watched her grow up. Regardless of their respective status and position within the clan, there was a bond of kinship between them. Moreover, Su Cheng had even threatened to destroy the Blue Silver Grass Forest; how could she possibly accept that?

"Hey, old man, don't talk nonsense. I was clearly just giving you a warning. I didn't really mean to do anything to you," Su Cheng hurriedly explained.

He was really just saying it casually at the time.

Even if the Blue Silver King really helped Tang San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, he had no intention of taking revenge.

After all, even if the forest were destroyed afterward, it would be too late to undo the damage.

Moreover, in a world where the power to correct fate is so strong, Tang San's awakening cannot necessarily be blamed on the Blue Silver King; there are likely many other factors at play.

If the other party were just a stranger, Su Cheng would simply choose a method similar to that used in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, eliminating any potential troubles beforehand.

But since they were acquaintances in real life, and even Ah Yin's relatives, he didn't want to go too far.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please do not be angry," the Blue Silver King also said. "If this gentleman were not merciful, he would not have needed to threaten me at all. With his strength, he could have easily destroyed me."

"..." Upon hearing this, Ah Yin glanced at Su Cheng lightly before letting out a cold snort and dismissing the matter.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what exactly is your relationship?" Blue Silver King asked again at this moment.

It naturally sensed that the atmosphere between the two people in front of it was very subtle, almost like a young couple having a tiff.

However, describing it this way sounds a bit strange, as the ages of the two people don't quite match up.

However, given Su Cheng's immense strength, he may not actually be as young as he appears; perhaps it's due to special circumstances.

"..."

When Ah Yin heard the question, her pretty face flushed red, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Unlike in reality, Su Cheng is not even fifteen years old yet. Even though Soul Master develop quickly and are generally precocious, they still look like teenagers.

Since the Blue Silver King is currently unaware of the details, it would be too shameful for him to directly admit to their relationship.

Su Cheng seemed unconcerned, walked straight up to her, put his arm around her waist, and casually said, "Oh, I'm her lover, can't you tell?"

"Hey, don't..." Ah Yin hurriedly twisted her body to avoid the arm, while pushing it away.

Even with her head lowered, one could still see the faint pink on her face quickly deepen, turning into a deep crimson in the blink of an eye, clearly an attempt to cover up her true feelings.

Su Cheng brought his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "You haven't apologized to me for the unfounded suspicions you had about me before."

The warm air blew, giving the delicate pink earlobes a blush of color, making them appear translucent under the light.

"Fine, fine, then it was my fault..." Ah Yin didn't want to argue with him here, and said urgently, "Behave yourself..."

"Don't move around, I need to check on you."

Su Cheng calmly gripped her hand and slowly channeled his True Power into it.

After feeling this power, Ah Yin finally stopped struggling, but still kept her head down and dared not raise it. Her face was even redder than before, and even slightly hot.

After a long while, seeing that Su Cheng still hadn't moved, she asked in a voice barely audible, "Is it ready yet?"

"Alright."

Although he said that, Su Cheng gently rubbed the slender, jade-like knuckles of his palm with his fingers, showing no intention of letting go.

Then he greeted the Blue Silver King with a smile and said, "We'll be leaving for now. Take care of yourself and don't forget to guard against outsiders and don't get discovered."

Blue Silver King: "..."

Ah Yin: "..."

Now that Ah Yin has been resurrected, there's no need to worry about Tang San awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Seeing that he was really about to leave so abruptly, Ah Yin couldn't help but call out, "Wait, you—"

"What, you don't want to come with me?"

No, but—

"If not, then let's not talk about it for now. Let's find a place outside and discuss it in detail."

"..."

After leaving the Blue Silver Grass Forest, Ah Yin, who had been silent the whole way, gradually calmed down her complicated emotions.

Unable to resist asking, "Where are you taking me? What have you been doing all these years? Why is there no news about you on the mainland?"

After asking a series of questions, she turned to examine Su Cheng, who was about the same height as her, and asked suspiciously, "Is my rebirth related to you?"

"Rebirth?" Su Cheng repeated the word in astonishment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"What rebirth... wait a minute," he suddenly turned to meet Ah Yin's gaze, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "You don't actually think you're a unique, destiny-ordained reborn person, so you've been secretly making plans and lying low cultivating, waiting for the day you can rule the world and dominate all ages, just to amaze everyone, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ah Yin was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this.

She had indeed been having some wild thoughts and even harboring some unrealistic hopes before, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the other party described.

As for the idea of ruling the world and having absolute power throughout the ages, that's utterly absurd.

"You dare say you haven't thought about it?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "And—"

"Alright! Stop talking!"

With her cheeks flushed red, Ah Yin pinched his palm hard. Knowing she couldn't win the argument, she changed the subject, "You still haven't told me where you're taking me?"

Su Cheng smiled and stopped teasing, replying, "Let's leave this mountain range first and head to the nearest Locke City. I saw a very nice-looking hotel when I passed through that main city before."

"What... a hotel? I'm not going!"

"Why?"

"You, you're only a few years old now, we can't..." Her voice trailed off, and finally she stopped explaining and simply repeated firmly, "I'm not going anyway."

"What does age have to do with it? What unhealthy things are you thinking? You need to find a place to settle down first before I can tell you what has happened over the years, what I have been doing, and what I am preparing for."

Su Cheng explained in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I will tell you everything exactly as it happened, and I need your help. I really didn't expect this kind of change to happen to you before; it's a pleasant surprise."

"Do you need my help?"

Ah Yin's eyes trembled slightly, followed by a tingling sensation that surged from the depths of her heart and then spread throughout her body.

For some reason, these words touched her more deeply than sweet words or promises.

After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded very seriously, "Okay."

Su Cheng noticed her reaction and laughed along with her.

Having a teammate I can completely trust and share all the information with is a completely new experience, and it feels really great.

Su Cheng had no intention of deceiving Ah Yin; he genuinely needed to find a place to sort everything out properly.

Of course, there are other things that need to be done as well.

This is called balancing work and rest.

Just as Su Cheng and Ah Yin were heading towards Locke City, Tang Hao and his son lingered outside the Blue Silver Grass Forest for three whole days.

Three days later, the energy barrier that had been gradually weakening as Ah Yin left finally dissipated completely.

Tang Hao, who had looked dejected, suddenly perked up and quickly called to Tang San, and together they entered the forest.

But once inside, he immediately sensed a subtle sense of rejection coming from all directions, as if the entire forest had come alive, releasing a tangible hostility towards them.

Tang Hao, however, couldn't care less about any of that at this point.

He just wanted to know if all these changes were related to Ah Yin, and why she refused to come see him.

However, the father and son wandered around in the forest for a long time, but they couldn't find Ah Yin, let alone the location of the Blue Silver King.

With Ah Yin's help, the Blue Silver King's control over this forest is much stronger than before.

While it may not be possible to construct a true miniature world like Ah Yin, it can still make any creature that enters it completely lose its way.

With Tang Hao's Spiritual Power strength at least at level 95, he simply couldn't break through this barrier.

The two of them spent more than a week on it, but ended up with nothing.

Finally, with no other choice, Tang Hao, burdened with worries, could only take Tang San away from this place, leading him to first practice the Clear Sky Hammer Technique and train his Soul Power.
