Turning Xiao Wu Against Tang San

"Ah? That's too dangerous! That's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Everyone except Ling Xi opposed Xu Yichen going.

"Don't worry. I have an External Soul Bone, so I can fly very fast. Besides, I'm not going there to fight. I'm just taking a look."

After five minutes of reassurance from Xu Yichen, he was finally able to leave.

The Wings of Stars unfurled. Beneath the night sky, the dazzling river of stars appeared even brighter and more beautiful.

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry."

Xu Yichen shot out in a flash, flying at top speed in the direction indicated by the system.

It was pretty nice that the system could also serve as navigation.

Ten minutes later, Xu Yichen caught sight of the Titan Giant Ape's enormous figure.

"Hm? Why are you here?!"

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded when she saw Xu Yichen flying in the air.

"Haha, I just came to take a look. It's only forming a soul ring—why make such a huge fuss over it?"

"You know?"

Xiao Wu's expression changed drastically. How did this guy know everything?

"Xiao Wu, should I kill him?"

Erming's voice boomed, carrying an utterly terrifying presence.

"No need."

Xiao Wu felt that Xu Yichen was not a bad person.

"So the Titan Giant Ape is your little brother? That's seriously sneaky."

Xu Yichen could not help complaining. The Titan Giant Ape was even darker than in the anime. If not for the faint traces of light on its body, he would not have been able to see there was an ape there even if it got close in the darkness.

"What did you come here for? Don't tell me you came to watch me condense a soul ring?"

"Of course not. Don't worry, I'm not interested in your soul ring anyway. I only came to recruit you to study at Angel Academy."

"No!"

Xiao Wu rejected him without a moment's thought.

"Because of Tang San?"

Xiao Wu said nothing, but the tenderness in her expression explained everything.

"Haha."

"What are you laughing at?!"

Xiao Wu frowned slightly, somewhat unhappy.

"I'm laughing at how foolish you are. You really are a silly yet adorable little rabbit."

"You're the foolish one!"

She was obviously so smart.

"Do you really think Tang San doesn't know you're a soul beast?"

"What!"

Xiao Wu had not expected Xu Yichen to say something like that. But Brother did not have the strength of a Titled Douluo—how could he possibly see through her identity as a soul beast?

Xu Yichen knew what Xiao Wu was thinking and continued, "Tang San indeed can't see through your identity, but Tang San's father can."

"Tang San's father!"

Xiao Wu froze. She truly did not know about that.

"You should know that Tang San has Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer is the inherited martial soul of the Clear Sky Sect, and Blue Silver Grass cannot coexist with the Clear Sky Hammer. That means Tang San's martial soul is not Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver Emperor. It simply hasn't awakened yet."

"Tang San, who possesses both the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer, is naturally the child of the Clear Sky Douluo and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor."

Xu Yichen slowly revealed Tang San's identity, leaving Xiao Wu completely stunned.

But Xiao Wu made one last attempt to resist. "How do I know whether what you're saying is true?"

"That's simple. Just go outside and investigate. Back then, Qian Xunji wanted Ah Yin's—namely, the Blue Silver Emperor's—soul ring, so he hunted Tang Hao down. In the end, the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, and Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji."

"The Clear Sky Sect suffered the Spirit Hall's frenzied retaliation and now doesn't even dare show its face."

"I also think you're quite impressive. Tang Hao has always been protecting Tang San, which means you've been living right under the nose of a Titled Douluo this whole time."

"Sister Xiao Wu, maybe you shouldn't go back out."

Erming understood as well. Sister Xiao Wu had been raised up, just waiting to be slaughtered once she was fattened. That Tang Hao and Tang San were too awful! He had better never meet them, or he would make them regret it.

"No... no, that can't be. Brother... how could it be like this?"

Xiao Wu sat listlessly on Erming's back, looking utterly out of sorts.

"In their eyes, you're just a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring—oh... and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Xu Yichen spoke half-truths and half-lies. Did it even matter whether Tang San knew Xiao Wu's identity?

"Oh, right. Do you want to know about Ah Yin—the Blue Silver Emperor? Come to Heaven Dou City when the time comes, and I'll tell you."

"I won't go to Heaven Dou City."

"You will. All of you from Shrek Academy will go."

Xiao Wu looked utterly confused. Xu Yichen had become even more mysterious in her eyes. Why was this person so certain that she would go to Heaven Dou City?

"Oh, right. Don't you want to bring your mother back to life?"

"What?! Mother can be revived?!"

At that moment, Xiao Wu shoved all other matters to the back of her mind. Compared to Ah Rou, Tang San was nothing.

Xu Yichen smiled happily. As expected, Ah Rou was the most useful card to play.

"Your mother became the martial soul and soul bone of Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall. As long as Bibi Dong can become a god, she can revive your mother."

"Become a god?"

"Yes. Bibi Dong has already received the Rakshasa God's divine trial. As long as she completes it, she can become a god."

"Really? That's wonderful."

Xiao Wu wept with joy. She hated Bibi Dong, but as long as Ah Rou could be revived, that hatred would disappear completely.

"For the sake of your mother alone, you and Tang San are absolutely not on the same side. Tang San and Spirit Hall have a blood feud over his mother's death. In the end, Bibi Dong will definitely fight Tang San too. So tell me, who will you help?"

"If you help Tang San, your mother cannot be revived. If you help Bibi Dong, you can bring your mother back to life."

Like a demon, Xu Yichen had presented her with an impossible choice.

"I... I..."

"Sister Xiao Wu, what is there to think about?!"

Even Erming felt that he should never have let Sister Xiao Wu go to the human world before. Her brain had gone bad; she was not even as smart as he was.

Her mother or a human—was there even a choice?

"Erming, you're too loud. Keep it down."

"Oh."

Erming was no longer as hostile toward Xu Yichen as before. After all, Aunt Ah Rou's revival would depend on Xu Yichen.

"Alright, think it over carefully. And Ah Yin's situation may not be what you think it is. Love between humans and spirit beasts may be beautiful, but Tang Hao is no good person either."

With that, Xu Yichen left directly.

The first step in driving a wedge between Xiao Wu and Tang San had been completed.

The second step would be Ah Yin's story.

In any case, Xu Yichen would never believe that Tang Hao was a good person.

His wife was a spirit beast and pregnant, yet he still took her wandering everywhere. Was he afraid Spirit Hall wouldn't realize his wife was a spirit beast?

If there was no conspiracy behind that, he would let Tang San use his head as a ball.

"Sister Xiao Wu, don't you want to revive Aunt Ah Rou?"

"No. I dream of reviving Mother."

"Then you..."

"Let me think about it."

"Sigh!"
