Severing Ah Yin and Tang Hao's Last Bond

"Dean, how was it?"

"Very good. Aunt Ah Yin's soul bone worked very well for me. Thank you, Aunt Ah Yin."

Xu Yichen rubbed Ah Yin's vines.

Seeing that her soul bone could help Xu Yichen, Ah Yin was also very happy, her leaves swaying.

"Aunt Ah Yin, I'm going to move you now."

Xu Yichen carefully lifted Ah Yin from the ground. Qilin then planted the Blue Silver Grass that looked very similar to Ah Yin back into the soil, while the box was returned to its original place. Everything looked exactly as it had when they first arrived.

This Blue Silver Grass was about the same size as Ah Yin, except its blades lacked the fine golden patterns.

"Very good. Aunt Ah Yin, follow me from now on. I'll make sure you revive very soon."

Ah Yin moved her leaves, brushing against Xu Yichen's cheek with great gentleness.

Xu Yichen felt somewhat moved. As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor—what a gentle feeling. How could such a gentle woman be allowed to be harmed by Tang Hao again?

Better leave her to me. Hehe.

"Let's go. We'll find the Blue Silver King."

Xu Yichen used Soul Power in his right hand to envelop Ah Yin.

Led by Daming, they arrived at an area filled with Blue Silver Grass.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned."

An old man appeared before Xu Yichen. This old man was the Blue Silver King's spiritual body.

"Your Majesty, how did you end up like this?"

Seeing Ah Yin's condition, the old man was deeply grieved.

"Sigh, this is what happened."

Xu Yichen told the Blue Silver King about Tang Hao.

"So that's what happened! Damn it!"

The Blue Silver King was furious, and the Soul Power within his body turned violent.

"Calm down!"

Daming suppressed the Blue Silver King.

"Whew... Sorry."

Hearing Xu Yichen's words, Ah Yin was stunned. She did not believe Tang Hao was that kind of person, but Xu Yichen was the one saying it. Compared with Tang Hao, Ah Yin trusted Xu Yichen more.

"Her Majesty's cultivation is still too low. I will give my power to Her Majesty. After that, I will fall into slumber."

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll take all of you to a place that's very suitable for cultivation."

Xu Yichen planned to bring all these Blue Silver Grass plants into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving not a single one behind for Tang Hao.

Moreover, the Blue Silver Emperor's strength was closely related to the Blue Silver Grass Clan. The stronger the Blue Silver Grass Clan became, the stronger the Blue Silver Emperor would become as well.

Thus, cultivating within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an excellent way to increase Ah Yin's strength.

"Then thank you."

After saying that, the old man transformed into a mass of blue energy and entered Ah Yin's body. This powerful Soul Power caused Ah Yin's cultivation to soar wildly, and her vitality grew increasingly stronger.

Immediately afterward, the golden patterns on the Blue Silver Grass blades burst forth with dazzling light.

A faint, unique fragrance belonging solely to the Blue Silver Emperor spread through the air. It smelled wonderful, making Xu Yichen want to close his eyes.

A short while later.

A woman who appeared to be in her thirties materialized before them.

She wore a blue-and-gold gown. Her noble and elegant temperament accentuated her lovely face, which seemed beyond the mortal realm. Her azure eyes were flawless, like blue crystals, while golden ribbons adorned the hem of her dress. A faint fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing the heart and mind.

"Big Sister Ah Yin!"

Seeing Ah Yin appear, both Daming and Erming became somewhat excited.

"Daming, Erming, it's been a long time."

"And this child—there's a warmth about you that I can feel. What is your name?"

Ah Yin's azure eyes turned toward Xu Yichen. There was a special emotion in her gaze, incredibly gentle.

Her voice was like heavenly music, graceful and elegant, utterly enchanting.

"Xu Yichen."

"A fine name. Was what you said just now true?"

A ripple passed through Ah Yin's eyes. Although her favorability toward Xu Yichen was full, she still retained some feelings for Tang Hao.

Xu Yichen needed to sever that last trace of feeling.

"Yes. Back when you had only recently taken human form, you were rather innocent. It was perfectly normal for you to be easily deceived."

"But... Tang Hao treated me very well."

Ah Yin's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she found it difficult to believe.

"First, let me ask you this. When soul beasts are pregnant, can't they conceal their soul beast aura? And doesn't that aura become detectable even without a Titled Douluo?"

"Yes."

"Then that settles it. When you were pregnant, Tang Hao clearly knew you were a soul beast, yet he still went strolling through cities while you were carrying his child. Did he not know that every city had people from Spirit Hall? Wasn't he deliberately trying to lure Spirit Hall's people over?"

"Furthermore, he was already Rank 89 at the time, not far from Rank 90. He only needed one more soul ring to become a Titled Douluo. You were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Could he really have remained unmoved?"

Xu Yichen's words deeply shook Ah Yin.

Ah Yin stood there at a loss, her expression sorrowful.

Xu Yichen knew he still needed to press further.

"And Tang San, the son you had with Tang Hao—Tang Hao never properly raised him. From childhood to adulthood, Tang San was the one taking care of Tang Hao. Tang Hao hid away in a little village drinking all day, to the point that even the village chief of Holy Spirit Village could no longer stand it. Tang San was the crystallization of your love. If he truly loved you, would he have treated Tang San like that?"

"How could Tang Hao do such a thing?!"

Ah Yin was furious. That was her son! At that moment, the final thread of affection Ah Yin held for Tang Hao snapped. All she had left for Tang Hao now was disgust and anger.

"Actually, this Tang San isn't your son either."

"What?!"

Not only Ah Yin, but even Daming and Erming were dumbfounded.

"Back when Tang Hao fought Qian Xunji, he failed to protect Tang San. Think about it: in a battle between several Titled Douluo, could a newborn child withstand the shockwaves of combat? Tang Hao had only just become a Titled Douluo. It was already good enough that he could withstand the attacks of other Titled Douluo; there was no way he could protect Tang San. Tang San's soul was torn apart directly and should have died on the spot."

"Then this Tang San...?"

Ah Yin's delicate body swayed, and she nearly fainted. Xu Yichen had just wanted to step forward to support her, but Ah Yin was still only a spiritual body and had not fully revived.

"He is a soul from another world that attached itself to your son's body."

"Tang San was originally a twenty-nine-year-old outer disciple of the Tang Sect in another world. Because he secretly learned inner sect techniques, the Tang Sect could not tolerate him. The elders and sect master forced him to jump off a cliff, but unexpectedly, he came directly to this world and attached himself to your son's body."

"How do you know something like that?"

Daming was somewhat suspicious.

"Because I have a Divine Position Inheritance. A god told me. Tang San counts as an invader of this world, and eliminating Tang San is also my mission."

The system counts as an inheritance too, right? Nobody knows anyway. Besides, the system can grant Divine Position rewards as well—it just doesn't have any now.
