Tang Hao Wants to Make a Move on Xiao Wu?

Before long, a semester had passed.

When vacation arrived, Starry Sky could hardly have been happier.

"Brother Kong, see you next year!"

Zhu Zhuqing waved at Starry Sky and boarded the carriage home.

Starry Sky waved back at her.

Then he looked at Xiao Wu beside him and asked:

"Xiao Wu, why are you following us?"

"I have nothing better to do anyway. I might as well go back with you."

Xiao Wu bared her teeth, her eyes occasionally drifting toward Mei.

Heh, nothing better to do? Starry Sky could tell she was craving Sister Mei's cooking!

But Tang Hao was still in Holy Soul Village. If Xiao Wu went there, wouldn't Tang Hao capture her?

What was there to worry about? He was only Tang Hao. If he dared touch Xiao Wu, Starry Sky would make sure he paid dearly!

"Teacher, goodbye~!"

Tang San also bid Yu Xiaogang his final farewell.

He had gained a great deal this year as well.

Though his teacher was useless, visiting Yu Xiaogang every day had still allowed him to learn things he could not learn in class.

But things had not all gone smoothly.

When he first made Big Peach for Starry Sky, he had cut corners, hoping to skim some money from the materials.

As a result, when Big Peach opened up, the materials failed to hold and it broke apart.

Tang San had lost a great many Gold Soul Coins at once.

Afterward, he had no choice but to make another one for Starry Sky.

That left him with time to make only a few hidden weapons.

He had even racked up quite a debt in Gold Soul Coins.

Sigh...

Hopefully, he could get some gold out of his old man when he got home.

Tang Hao could not earn much from blacksmithing, but there should always be iron at home for him to make hidden weapons with, right?

After bidding farewell to Notting City, the group rode a carriage back to Holy Soul Village.

"Oh my! Xiao Kong, you've grown even taller."

"Oh my! Xiao San, why are you getting darker and darker?"

"Oh my? What a lovely little girl. Is she your classmate?"

On the day Notting Academy began its vacation, Old Jack had been waiting at the village entrance bright and early.

"Hello, Grandpa. I'm Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing."

Xiao Wu flashed a mischievous smile as she introduced herself.

"Ah... so sweet~!"

Old Jack's heart immediately melted at her words.

"Grandpa Jack, how has my father... been doing these past few years?"

Tang San asked with some bitterness.

Old Jack's expression darkened before he flared up in anger.

"That good-for-nothing Tang Hao! How else could he be? All he does every day is drink! When the villagers ask him to forge farm tools, he drags it out until the crops in the fields are ripe! Why doesn't he just drink himself to death?!"

Tang San felt deeply miserable. There was nothing he could do about having a father like this.

But he had finally gained a family member. He could not simply stand by and ignore Tang Hao.

Over the past year, he had secretly sent some money home.

He hoped his father could live a better life.

Tang San then said goodbye to Starry Sky, Xiao Wu, and the others before heading home alone.

Starry Sky returned home with his three wives.

Mei started cooking, while the others chatted in the courtyard.

Starry Sky told Old Jack about some of the things that had happened at school.

Old Jack laughed again and again as he listened.

When Tang San returned home, he saw grass growing right outside the door.

He was speechless. How could his old man be so lazy?

Entering the room, he found that the forge's furnace had long gone cold, with a thick layer of dust on top.

It was obvious that no work had been done for at least half a month.

"Could it be that after I sent money home, Father no longer wanted to work?"

His filial intentions had ended up like this.

He had only made his old man even lazier.

Tang San entered the inner room and found wine jars scattered all over the floor.

Tang Hao was lying on the ground, hugging a wine jar.

An unbearable stench filled the room.

Tang San hurriedly opened the windows to air the place out, then carried the drunken Tang Hao onto the bed.

"Mm..." Tang Hao was roused awake and saw Tang San.

"Father, you're awake? Lie still for now. I'll cook you some porridge." Tang San looked heartbroken as he prepared to make Tang Hao porridge.

"Wine... Give me wine..." Tang Hao muttered groggily.

"Father, stop drinking. Rest for a while first, and I'll cook you some porridge."

Tang San urged him gently.

"Hmph! Now that you're a Soul Master, you don't even respect your old man anymore!"

Tang Hao immediately lost his temper.

"No, Father, that's not it. I just want you to be healthier." Tang San hurriedly explained in a panic.

"Then bring me wine!"

Tang Hao barked threateningly.

Tang San was helpless. Seeing his father acting like a scoundrel, he could only take out a jar of wine from his storage device.

Once Tang Hao got the good wine, he started gulping it down wildly.

Tang San hurried off to cook, hoping his father could soon have a hot meal.

But when Tang San finished cooking, he discovered that Tang Hao had vanished from the bed.

He scratched his head. Had he gone to the toilet?

Meanwhile, at Old Jack's house, Starry Sky was chatting with Old Jack while Xiao Wu waited for Mei to finish cooking.

Then a man in a black robe approached.

"You... who are you? Xiao Kong, Xiao Wu, get inside and hide!"

The man in black looked like trouble at a glance, and Old Jack moved in front of the two of them.

"Heh... A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form... and I've encountered one again."

Starry Sky looked over. In Douluo, the one who liked to appear in a black robe was Tang Hao.

Besides, Tang Hao was the only Titled Douluo in this village.

Tang Hao must have sensed the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"Y-you... what are you talking about? We... don't understand."

Xiao Wu's entire body turned icy as she hurriedly backed away, trying to escape.

Where had this person come from? He could actually see through her true form.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! Excellent! If I send you back to the sect, the debt I've owed the sect all these years... I can finally repay it!"

Tang Hao's conflict with Spirit Hall had forced the Clear Sky Sect to go into hiding.

Many sect disciples had also been killed or wounded.

He had thought he would never be able to atone to the sect in this lifetime, yet a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form had delivered itself right to his doorstep?

He was beside himself with excitement. The decadence of all these years vanished in an instant.

Afraid that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would escape, he immediately released his martial soul, Soul Rings appearing around his feet one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

When Xiao Wu saw that Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, she immediately fell into despair. Then, upon seeing that blood-red Soul Ring, fury surged into her heart.

This hateful Titled Douluo had already killed one of their Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

What could she do?

Escape was impossible. They were far too far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and there was no time to summon Da Ming and Er Ming.

When Old Jack saw that he was facing a Titled Douluo, despair nearly made him pass out.

"Grandpa Jack, don't worry. The General and Underworld are here." Starry Sky hurriedly comforted Old Jack.

Only then did Old Jack remember that Starry Sky had come from the heavens. The three elder sisters protecting him must surely have received the favor of the gods as well.

How could a mere Titled Douluo possibly compare to a god?

"Grandpa Jack, Xiao Wu, let's go inside first. Leave the outside to my Raiden wife and Underworld wife."

Tang Hao was not getting out of this alive. Starry Sky did not want Old Jack and Xiao Wu to know that this was Tang San's father.
