Taking Xiao Wu! Reward: Spirit Trait Awakening Autonomous Selection!

On the road back to Holy Soul Village.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were both unusually silent, neither of them thinking much of the other.

Caught between them, Tang Lan had to work hard to suppress his laughter.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

When they returned home,

sure enough, the place was empty. Only Old Jack was waiting for them.

After seeing Old Jack off,

"Brother, what do we do now?" Tang San asked.

"Dad must have something important he needs to do." Tang Lan had expected this. "Whether it's the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer or any other hammer technique, they aren't things an ordinary blacksmith could master."

Tang San nodded silently. He had naturally noticed these things too.

Tang Lan rubbed Tang San's head.

"Everyone has their own secrets. Once we become stronger, Dad will naturally tell us."

"For the time being, I'll take Xiao Wu to cultivate at the Blue Silver King Forest."

"You'll have the house to yourself, so you can do your own things in peace."

Tang San's body shook!

He looked at Tang Lan guiltily, wanting to say something but stopping himself—he had become so absorbed in cultivating the Undying Imprint Technique that he had not forged the Sleeve Arrows he had promised.

Smack—

Tang Lan slapped the back of Tang San's head.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't. You're my little brother. It's not like you could harm me." Tang Lan deliberately said, "If there's anything you don't understand about the Undying Imprint Technique, come ask me anytime."

After saying that,

he took Xiao Wu's hand and walked out.

Guilt was plainly visible on Tang San's face.

Several times, he wanted to ask them to stay.

But in the end, he said nothing and watched Tang Lan and Xiao Wu leave.

After closing the door,

he walked up to the forging platform, his gaze more serious than ever!

"Then I'll use my work to come clean to Brother!"

Tang Lan and Xiao Wu had only just left the village entrance.

"Is it really okay?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly. "Even though I don't like Tang San, I don't want to see you and him, Lan-ge..."

"Don't worry about it." Tang Lan waved his hand. "Little Sanzi has his own secrets. He's been cultivating in secret behind Dad's and my backs since he was little..."

Xiao Wu revealed a stunned expression.

"He even hid it from his own family?" she blurted out. "Lan-ge, you give him every good thing you have. How can he be like that?"

But Tang Lan magnanimously waved it off.

"He's my little brother, after all—my flesh and blood."

"I can be selfless, but I can't use that to morally bind others."

"When he wants to say it, he naturally will."

Xiao Wu curled her lips.

Her impression of Tang San plummeted once again.

Seeing this, Tang Lan chuckled.

Another day of casually putting Tang San down.

After they had walked a little farther,

Tang Lan activated the flight Soul Bone Skill of his Blue Silver Right Leg Bone before Xiao Wu's astonished eyes.

He carried her and flew toward the Blue Silver King Forest.

Xiao Wu was stunned for more than ten seconds.

Only then did she tremble as she said, "Lan... Lan-ge. Yours, this is..."

"If nothing unexpected happened, it should be my mother's Soul Bone." Tang Lan dropped a bombshell.

Xiao Wu's mind crashed again!

What the heck?

Your mother's Soul Bone?

That aura was definitely over a hundred thousand years. Your mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Wait!

Could it be...

As Xiao Wu's thoughts ran wild, Tang Lan landed as well.

After setting Xiao Wu down, he patted the Blue Silver King's enormous trunk.

The Blue Silver Domain spread out, and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass swayed freely.

Then he opened with a king bomb—

"Xiao Wu, you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form, right?"

Xiao Wu was completely dumbfounded!

Lan-ge actually knew...

But how did he know?

Unless he was a Titled Douluo, he shouldn't have been able to see through her.

Wait!

"Lan-ge, was your mother also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Xiao Wu asked in shock. "A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass?"

Tang Lan nodded, then shook his head.

He sat beneath the Blue Silver King and patted the spot beside him.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but still sat beside Tang Lan.

"Let me tell you my story." Tang Lan looked up at the sky. "It might not be as long as yours, but it's quite bizarre too."

"The story begins with the Spirit Awakening ceremony."

"I sensed it."

"The collar guided me."

"Father taught me."

"..."

He told her every detail.

Other than the fact that Tang Lan was a transmigrator and the system itself,

Tang Lan revealed all of his past to Xiao Wu.

As Xiao Wu listened, her gaze grew increasingly fervent!

—Sincerity was always the ultimate weapon.

"...That's about it."

Tang Lan lowered his head to look at Xiao Wu and softly said—

"At first, I was quite puzzled why a Blue Silver Grass gave me the feeling of my mother."

"Until I absorbed the spiritual inheritance left behind by the Blue Silver King and learned about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts taking human form, as well as the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Only then did I learn that it was a Blue Silver Emperor, and also my mother."

"Half of the blood flowing through me belongs to a Soul Beast."

"And you..."

"You should be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who transformed into a human, right?"

Xiao Wu's entire body tensed nervously!

But the affection built over the semester made her grit her teeth and nod.

She looked at Tang Lan resolutely, as if awaiting his judgment.

Tang Lan stood up, and his aura changed!

The Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor appeared in his left hand, the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer in his right.

"I'll be taking you in, you Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Xiao Wu shut her eyes in despair.

Sure enough...

There was simply no possibility between humans and Soul Beasts.

Just as she stretched out her neck to accept death, no attack came for a long while.

When she opened her eyes,

she saw Tang Lan looking at her with a smile, his gaze filled with teasing.

"After sharing a bed for an entire semester, you still thought I'd kill you?" Tang Lan pretended to be heartbroken.

How could Xiao Wu not understand now that he had been teasing her?

"Ah!"

"Brother! You're awful!"

Xiao Wu angrily threw out a "rabbit kick," but Tang Lan dodged with a sidestep.

Taking the chance, he wrapped an arm around Xiao Wu's waist and swiftly pulled her close.

Their eyes met, and their breaths brushed against each other's faces.

"Xiao Wu, since I've become your brother, I'll definitely protect you!" Tang Lan said tenderly. "No matter who wants to harm you, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Xiao Wu was just a little rabbit who had only recently entered the human world. How could she withstand such sweet words?

Her eyes immediately misted over with tears of emotion!

"Brother..."

"Xiao Wu will stay with Brother for her whole life!"

The atmosphere was perfect.

Tang Lan was considering whether to steal a kiss and add more fuel to the fire.

But the system appeared to stop him from "committing a crime."

The host has gained Xiao Wu's devoted love, seizing a great amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Spirit Trait Awakening Autonomous Selection"!

He had finally won her over!

Tang Lan gave up on the idea of kissing her and affectionately rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

"As your brother, I'll teach you a new cultivation technique."

"It's called the Undying Imprint Technique. Listen carefully."

He recited the complete mental cultivation method of the Undying Imprint Technique, then explained some of his own insights.

"Cultivate it now. If you have any questions, ask me anytime."

Xiao Wu's eyes shone as she stared unblinkingly at Tang Lan!

"Brother, did you create this too?"

"Yeah. Admire your brother, huh?" Tang Lan said proudly.

"Brother, you're amazing!" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. "This Undying Imprint Technique is practically even stronger than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

That description.

Was very Douluo Continent.

Tang Lan patted Xiao Wu's head.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Go cultivate."

Xiao Wu stuck out her little tongue, then sat beside the Blue Silver King and began trying to cultivate the Undying Imprint Technique.

Tang Lan finally had some free time to check his reward.

If you have any ideas, feel free to mention them in the comments. If they fit, Fei Lan will adopt them!
