Tang San: Xiao Wu, Marry Tang Yuan!

But...

Tang San thought of the situation within the King's Mansion.

These days, although Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, the two sisters, served at Tang Yuan's side in the King's Mansion.

Both women were breathtaking beauties, and their talents were among the finest.

Zhu Zhuqing in particular, after being trained by Teacher, had now become a peerless beauty of unparalleled grace.

Yet for some reason.

The sisters had been in the mansion for quite some time, and Zhu Zhuyun had even consummated her marriage with Teacher long ago.

But even now.

Neither of them showed the slightest sign of pregnancy.

"Teacher possesses such powerful bloodline. Wouldn't it be a tremendous regret if no one inherited it?"

Tang San pondered inwardly.

In this world, the continuation of one's bloodline was held in the highest regard.

The more powerful a soul master was, the more they hoped to leave behind exceptional descendants to inherit their martial souls.

Tang Yuan treated him like his own son.

He could even be called a parent who had given him a new life.

Tang San felt that he had the responsibility—and the duty—to ease Teacher's burdens.

Although such matters were not for a disciple like him to worry about.

He truly could not bear to see Teacher's outstanding bloodline come to an end.

Or be carried on by only a scant few.

"Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing are wonderful, but there are only two of them after all."

"And..."

Tang San's gaze swept across the King's Mansion.

Finally.

His eyes settled on a flower bed some distance away.

There.

A delicate, doll-like girl crouched on the ground, holding a carrot as she teased several Soft Bone Rabbits.

Her long scorpion braid hung down her back, swaying with her movements.

She looked especially lively and adorable.

Xiao Wu.

Tang San's eyes lit up.

In terms of beauty, Xiao Wu was no less stunning than the Zhu Family sisters.

In terms of talent, she possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Though she usually looked playful and carefree, her cultivation speed was not slow in the slightest.

More importantly.

Xiao Wu had a bright, lively personality and was clever and adorable.

If she could stay by Teacher's side, she would surely bring plenty of joy to Teacher's dull cultivation life.

"Besides, Xiao Wu is also very dependent on Teacher."

The more Tang San thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

In his eyes, Xiao Wu was like his own little sister.

If she could marry Teacher.

Then it would truly make them even closer family.

With Teacher's protection in the future, Xiao Wu would be able to live without worry for the rest of her life, enjoying wealth and splendor.

As her brother, this was the best home he could find for her.

Having made up his mind.

Tang San straightened his clothes and headed toward the flower bed.

"Xiao Wu."

Tang San called out.

The girl who had been teasing the rabbits turned around.

When she saw Tang San, Xiao Wu broke into a radiant smile.

She casually tossed the carrot to the rabbits, brushed the dirt from her hands, and skipped over.

"Third Brother!"

"Have you finished cultivating?"

"I just heard a huge commotion over there. Did you master some powerful new move again?"

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

Tang San smiled.

"Yeah, I just broke through to level fifty and tried out my new soul skill."

Upon hearing "level fifty," Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.

"Third Brother, you really are a freak."

"You became a Soul King so quickly. Looks like I need to work harder too, or I won't be able to fight alongside you anymore."

Tang San looked at the innocent, lively girl before him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Xiao Wu, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Seeing Tang San's expression turn serious, Xiao Wu put away her playful grin as well.

"What is it, Third Brother?"

"Did something happen?"

she asked nervously.

Tang San shook his head, signaling for her not to worry.

The two walked over to a nearby bench and sat down.

Tang San considered his wording before speaking slowly.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think of Teacher?"

Xiao Wu froze.

She clearly had not expected Tang San to ask that.

Tilting her head, she thought for a moment before replying as if it were only natural.

"Teacher is of course wonderful!"

"He's powerful, handsome, and treats us well."

"He's like... like a father."

When she said the last two words, Xiao Wu's voice grew quieter, as though she felt a little embarrassed.

Tang San nodded.

"Yes, Teacher has shown us immense kindness."

"We have no way to repay him."

"However..."

Tang San changed the subject.

"Have you noticed that although Teacher has Sister Zhu Yun and the others by his side, he still has no children?"

"Teacher works tirelessly every day for our cultivation and for all the affairs of the King's Mansion."

"When he returns to the inner courtyard, there are ultimately too few people who can keep him company and talk with him."

Xiao Wu blinked.

She did not quite understand what Tang San meant.

"Then... then can't we just spend more time with Teacher in the future?"

Tang San looked at her bewildered expression and sighed.

He could only make it clear.

"Xiao Wu."

"What I mean is..."

"Have you ever thought about staying by Teacher's side forever?"

"Not as his disciple."

"But rather..."

Tang San paused and looked directly into Xiao Wu's eyes.

"But rather, like Sister Zhu Yun, becoming Teacher's woman."

Boom—

Those words were like a thunderclap exploding in Xiao Wu's mind.

Her face instantly flushed crimson.

It had turned red all the way to her ears.

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she nearly sprang out of her chair.

"Th... Third Brother!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"I... me and Teacher... th... how could that possibly work?!"

Xiao Wu stammered, wringing her hands helplessly together.

Her heart pounded so hard it felt ready to leap out of her throat.

She had never considered things that way before.

In her heart, Tang Yuan was a lofty elder, someone she could only look up to.

Though she loved clinging to Tang Yuan and loved the pleasant scent about him.

But th... those were two different things!

Yet Tang San did not think he had said anything wrong.

He maintained that rational tone as he analyzed, "Xiao Wu, don't be so quick to refuse."

"Listen to me."

"Teacher is the finest man in this world. You admit that much, don't you?"

Blushing, Xiao Wu nodded instinctively.

There was no denying that.

"Since he is the finest man, he should be matched with the finest woman."

"Zhu Qing and the others are certainly wonderful, but you are no less so."

"Besides, we have all seen how Teacher dotes on you."

"If you could be a little more proactive..."

Tang San said earnestly, "To bear children and carry on Teacher's bloodline would be a blessing countless people could only dream of."

"It would also be the best way for us to repay Teacher."

"You're so clever, and so adorable."

"If you happen to catch Teacher's eye and bear him a son or daughter."

"Then you would be the greatest contributor to Blue Silver King's Mansion."

Tang San's words slipped into Xiao Wu's ears one after another.

Though they sounded somewhat shocking.

On closer thought...

They seemed... not entirely without reason.

Tang Yuan's handsome face involuntarily appeared in Xiao Wu's mind.

Along with the warm feeling whenever Tang Yuan stroked her head.

And the broad, solid back she had seen while scrubbing Tang Yuan's back in the bathroom just now.
