Calm Before the Storm
Qian Xunji began preparing manpower to hunt down Ah Yin. It would be best to capture her alive, as imprisoning her would save the Spirit Ring of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. However, even killing her and obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would be good. Qian Xunji couldn't help but tremble as he thought of the monster Yu Xiaogang he encountered during the last hunt for Ah Rou.
However, Tang Hao shouldn't be as monstrous as Yu Xiaogang, having consumed countless rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures during his years of recovery. Qian Xunji had to Yu Xiaogang for revealing the secret of Whale Rubber to the mainland; otherwise, he wouldn't have recovered from the severe injuries Yu Xiaogang had inflicted so quickly.
Whale Rubber is truly a wonderful thing. It can not only improve the physical fitness of low-level Soul Master, but also nourish the bodies of high-level Soul Master. Otherwise, the stubborn Soul Power left by Yu Xiaogang in Qian Xunji would probably still be there.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei have recovered to their peak condition and even benefited from the misfortune by increasing their Soul Power by one level. However, Yu Xiaogang has left an indelible shadow in their hearts, especially now that Yu Xiaogang is even stronger than before.
Perhaps in a few years Yu Xiaogang will become Soul Douluo. Just thinking about it sends chills down their spines. Back then, Yu Xiaogang, even at the Soul King level, could easily crush the three of them Titled Douluo. Now that he's Soul Saint, wouldn't he be even more terrifying? Because Qian Xunji had his Dark Guard gather information about Ah Yin, they followed the clues and discovered that Ah Yin had been hiding under Yu Xiaogang's protection in Notting City for the past few years, working as a doctor. If Notting City hadn't now been largely freed from the control of the Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall, Ah Yin would have been discovered long ago.
Qian Xunji planned to send two groups of people this time: one group to monitor Yu Xiaogang's movements within the Dragon Gate Sect, and the other group to monitor and search for Ah Yin and Tang Hao's whereabouts. He was afraid that Yu Xiaogang would intervene this time, since Ah Yin was hiding in Notting City Hospital, which was a property of the Dragon Gate Sect, and Yu Xiaogang had officiated at Tang Hao and Ah Yin's wedding.
Qian Xunji realized he had overestimated Yu Xiaogang; Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had slipped away right before his eyes. "Hmph! Yu Xiaogang, don't blame me for taking advantage of you after you misjudged him!" However, this time he was determined to mobilize all his subordinates to besiege Tang Hao Ah Yin; Qian Xunji was determined to obtain Ah Yin's Spirit Bone!
Tang Hao's sense of crisis, honed in the Slaughter City, was still quite strong. Ever since that day, he had felt from time to time that strangers were watching him. He even grabbed a few to interrogate them, but they were all assassins sent by Qian Xunji, and they were all tight-lipped. Tang Hao didn't know how to interrogate them. In the end, Tang Hao returned to his lodgings with a gloomy face.
However, when Tang Hao returned to the door of the hut, he vigorously rubbed his face with his rough hands and smiled. He wanted to shoulder all the dangers alone and didn't want Ah Yin to worry about these things.
Let Tang Hao take it all on! He'll let those scoundrels taste the power of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul; that giant iron hammer gleaming with blue light in his hand is not to be trifled with! He'll smash the heads of those Spirit Hall bastards!
After Tang Hao returned to normal, put on a smiling face, and pushed open the door to enter the house, Ah Yin asked curiously, "Who was that just now, A Hao? I felt the Blue Silver Grass was warning me. They said that a Soul Master with malicious intent towards me is watching me? Is it a spy from the Spirit Hall who came knocking on my door?"
Tang Hao saw that Ah Yin's legs were a little sore from the growing belly and she was rubbing them. He felt sorry for her and immediately knelt down next to Ah Yin to gently help her Ah Yin her muscles.
Seeing Tang Hao's clumsy movements, Ah Yin still blushed and felt weak all over when his warm, rough hands touched her thighs. She leaned against the headboard, stroking her belly and feeling the tiny new life inside.
"Ah Yin, you should rest now. I've calculated the days, and our son will be born soon! I'll take you back to the Clear Sky Sect's base right away. Let's see if those scoundrels from the Spirit Hall dare to cause trouble at the Clear Sky Sect again!"
"Um!"
Ah Yin happily enjoying Tang Hao's meticulous care. She was a little reluctant to leave her simple and warm life, but this time she might really not be able to escape.
Yun Lan notified Ah Yin through the Blue Silver Grass Network that Qian Xunji had already led two Titled Douluo and a large number of people towards them. This time, Tang Hao really couldn't win. Alas, A Hao was really too foolish and reckless.
Soon, Tang Hao carefully pressed his head against his stomach. He listened to his son's small yet powerful heartbeat and chuckled foolishly. Ah Yin's smile never disappeared, but Tang Hao, with his muscular brain, couldn't detect the hint of sorrow in her eyes.
Ah Yin couldn't leave Tang Hao either, but for the sake of Yu Xiaogang and Sister Yun Lan's plan, she had no choice but to fake her death and sacrifice herself once. Anyway, she could be resurrected, and the Blue Silver Emperor would leave behind a seed to cultivate again after the sacrifice. Moreover, Yun Lan even demonstrated how the Blue Silver Grass could be resurrected through the Blue Silver Grass's sea of consciousness.
Moreover, after Ah Yin sacrificed her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, she still left behind a seed of her original body, making resurrection very simple. Hopefully, Tang Hao won't be sad then. He has already cultivated to level 90 and is just one spirit ring away from breaking through to the Title Douluo level.
She didn't know what Yu Xiaogang's plans were, but they were too far from the Dragon Gate Sect now, and she didn't want to face the Spirit Hall Pope and two Titled Douluo because of her. After all, she was very grateful to Yu Xiaogang and didn't want to create a powerful enemy for the Dragon Gate Sect because of her and Tang Hao.
In Ah Yin's mind, the Dragon Gate Sect only had two Titled Douluo, which was no match for the formidable Spirit Hall. Anyway, she had already made up her mind that if she encountered Qian Xunji and his group and couldn't escape, she would sacrifice herself to Tang Hao to protect her child.
Over the next few days, Tang Hao took Ah Yin to different places, heading towards sparsely populated and remote areas. Tang Hao now hated himself for being too weak and unable to protect Ah Yin, and felt very guilty. Ah Yin comforted Tang Hao, this big baby, like she was coaxing a child.
This made Tang Hao realize his mistake and feel his face burning. Luckily, no one else saw it, otherwise, where would Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, put his face? This also helped to dispel a lot of the gloom that Ah Yin was under from the Spirit Hall's pursuit.
On this day, Ah Yin may have recently experienced some miscarriage and was about to give birth early. This caused Tang Hao to panic and stop hiding. He carried Ah Yin to a house and found a place to stay. He spent Gold Soul Coin to find the best midwife to help Ah Yin give birth.
Tang Hao rubbed his hands outside like a donkey pulling a millstone, circling around and glancing into the house every now and then. Ah Yin had been crying and wailing all day, Tang Hao really wanted to slap himself.
Ah Yin was about to give birth, but she was always hiding and now the pregnancy was in trouble. This made Tang Hao cry with heartache and hate the Spirit Hall. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall members who were like leeches chasing after them, Ah Yin wouldn't have gone into premature labor!
With the cry of a newborn Tang Hao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his chest. He rushed into the house and carefully took the tiny baby from the midwife's arms, leaving Tang Hao, a first-time father, at a loss for what to do.
The midwife was teaching Tang Hao how to hold the baby. This scene made Ah Yin, who was pale and weak, feel that all her suffering was worthwhile. She opened her mouth and said in a weak voice:
"Ah Hao, I plan to Tang San. Our baby is the third member of our family. I hope that the three of us can live a peaceful and happy life in the future."
Tang Hao carried Tang San, who had just opened his eyes and was curiously looking at his surroundings, to Ah Yin's side. He held Ah Yin in his arms as if he owned the whole world. Tang Hao's eyes shone with endless tenderness as he said, "Alright! Our son will be named Tang San! Ah Yin, Tang San of us, will live together peacefully and happily forever. After we return to the Clear Sky Sect, we will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Spirit Ring and become Titled Douluo. I'll see who dares to disrupt our lives!"
Ah Yin felt very warm and at ease. She had received Tang Hao's determination to protect her. However, her eyes narrowed and began to glisten with tears. "I'm sorry, Tang Hao, or the newborn Tang San. I'm sorry, but in order to get you out of danger, I have to leave you two first."
Perhaps Yun Lan is right; sacrificing oneself to fake death and be reborn is the best option right now. Hopefully, Tang Hao can persevere and take good care of his San-ge.
My mind is blank, I feel groggy.
