If You Do Not Abandon Me, Tang San Wishes to Take You as His Adoptive Mother

Li Chen hugged the tablet and laughed like a pig.

"Tangyuan, you're way too vicious. Who did you learn this from?" His fingers lightly tapped the tablet.

"Host, host, isn't Little Tangyuan amazing?"

Little Snowball wore a smug expression, practically with the words "Praise me" written all over its face.

Li Chen picked up Little Tangyuan and stroked it from top to bottom. It was soft and fluffy, even more stress-relieving than petting a cat.

Tang San excitedly picked up the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. A warm current flowed through every limb and bone in his body.

The boy sat cross-legged in meditation, feeling the condition of his body. It may not be as good as before, but I've indeed recovered more than half. This woman really has some skills.

The Old Woman continued with another shocking statement. "Do you know why you were reborn?"

"When I crossed the void and arrived here, I discovered that you had already fallen to your death from a cliff. I was one step too late. I had barely any Source Power left to begin with, and saving you consumed much of my Soul Power. In the end, I had to recuperate inside this ring for six years before I barely awakened. Only recently did I return to your side."

Before the Old Woman could say anything else, Tang San instantly retreated three steps, widening the distance between them. Then he dropped to both knees, his face filled with reverence, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the Old Woman.

"Radiant Great Sun, Vast Sky above!"

"This student, Tang San, today takes—what was your name again, Teacher?"

"Bibi Dong."

"Right."

"This student, Tang San, today takes Bibi Dong as his teacher!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness to this heart, sun and moon illuminate this bond!"

"Please accept me as your disciple. A teacher for a day, a mother for life. I will treat you as well as I would my own mother."

"Teacher!"

The Old Woman immediately burst into tears. Her phantom embraced Tang San as she said, "Good, good, good. A teacher for a day, a mother for life. It seems my choice to cross the void and choose you was indeed not wrong. Good child."

"Though I have accepted you as my disciple, remember that you must never become arrogant or complacent. You must not tell outsiders of my existence. I am your taboo."

Tang San found her words somewhat strange, but he did not dwell on them. His teacher was the ruler of another world, who had abandoned everything and crossed the void just to see him. What could there possibly be for him to doubt about such a teacher?

Then Tang San seemed to recall something. He took several more steps back and kowtowed several more times.

With a devout expression, he said, "Teacher has no children in this world. If you do not abandon me, Tang San wishes to take you as his Adoptive Mother!"

The woman held Tang San tightly. Her aged face blossomed like a chrysanthemum. "Good child, good child. Your mother's happiness for the rest of her life will depend on you!"

"Mother, rest assured. Your child will certainly care for you with all his heart."

Tang San was also crying by then. Having never felt Mother's Love across two lifetimes, he experienced the warmth of a home for the first time through this Old Woman.

Li Chen had already guessed the rest of the plot. One Adoptive Mother, one Adoptive Father—he nearly laughed himself breathless.

"Tangyuan, Tangyuan, did you graduate from Old Six School?"

"Host, I simulated the plot you might like most based on your inner thoughts. I wanted to ask you the same thing, Host. Did you graduate from Old Eight's Secret Recipe Burger School?"

"Host, host, your rewards have arrived: one Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, one little Ah Yin, and Innate Soul Power level ten. Your current level is ten. The system recommends that you fuse with the Soul Bone after your Martial Soul Awakening."

Li Chen felt that something was off. "Tangyuan, why did I get ten levels as a reward, but I'm still level ten now?"

Tangyuan slowly floated to Li Chen's ear, its soft, sticky-sweet voice like a demon's whisper. "Because the host is a little noob. Your Innate Soul Power is a big fat zero!"

"Get over here!" Li Chen immediately reached out to grab Little Tangyuan, but Tangyuan turned into a streak of light and slipped into the Spirit Guide Tablet.

Li Chen had not wanted to argue with it, but Tangyuan was still making faces on the screen. "Big idiot, big idiot, can't catch me, can't catch me!"

Holding the tablet, Li Chen looked left and right, up and down, but could not find the power button...

He casually opened the system and sneered. "Tangyuan, why did you change the name again? Wasn't it the Shut Up I'm Scared Too System yesterday?"

Main System: Don't Eat Cilantro

Host: Li Chen

Gold Soul Coin: 0.6

Main Quest: Turn Douluo Continent into a modern city more advanced than Douluo Four. As long as you have money, this system will provide any assistance.

"Huh, Tangyuan, the system shop is actually open today. Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask me." Little Tangyuan flew out with an aggrieved look on its face.

Li Chen tapped the shop option.

Shop: Martial Souls | Self-Created Soul Skills | Levels | Soul Rings | Soul Bones | Soul Tools. He took a stroll around the shop.

Li Chen was completely stunned.

There was nothing you could imagine that it did not sell! From towels, toothbrushes, and body wash to airplanes, missiles, and Spirit Tool Communication Systems!

There were also all kinds of Soul Tools that existed only in the future Douluo Continent. No matter how brutal a Soul Tool was, it had it—but the more powerful the Soul Tool, the more brutal the price.

"Tangyuan, Tangyuan, can these only be bought with Gold Soul Coins?"

"You can also bring treasures for Tangyuan to appraise, then sell them to the system."

If he had transmigrated into Ning Rongrong—pah, that would not work. If he had transmigrated into a direct male disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then once he took control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't he have as much money as he wanted?

"Tangyuan, what should I do? I only have sixty Copper Soul Coins, and I saved them up from years of New Year's Money."

"Host, you can first buy some novel little things from the system that will not attract attention. Then it'll be time to show off your true colors as a Shady Merchant!"

"What exactly should I buy?"

"Host, there's no need to worry. There really aren't many things you can buy with 0.6 Gold Soul Coins. The minimum unit is one Gold Soul Coin, and low-value goods come in large quantities."

Li Chen felt that something was wrong. No need to worry—was it saying that he could not afford anything?

"Let's wait until we get to Nuoding Academy. There are more fools with money there, such as a certain rabbit."

Days passed one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it was Tang San's sixth birthday. Oh, no, his sixth birthday in this life.

On Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Awakening was the most important event in a person's life.

If you awakened a good Martial Soul and possessed relatively high Innate Soul Power, then congratulations—you had already surpassed 99.9% of people. As long as you did not court death, you could basically enjoy a life surrounded by beauties.

The same familiar formula!

Just like in the original work, under Old Jack's respectful gaze, a young man in his twenties approached from the distance.

The man was handsome and dignified, with sword-like brows and bright eyes. He wore the standard uniform of a Spirit Hall deacon, looking flashy as hell.

So this was Su Yuntao, the legendary blind God King and pioneer of the Innate Full Soul Power trash Martial Soul rule.

Old Jack respectfully bowed. The young man slightly raised his chin and gave a faint nod, every movement revealing his pride. "I don't have much time. Let's begin."

Old Jack had lived for many years and knew that the young man was already becoming impatient, so he said nothing further. "Children, follow the deacon inside."
