"Brother Big Dog, do you still have that booklet I wrote for your family about postpartum care for sows? I need it."

Calling out to Brother Big Dog, who was practicing with his spear, Tian Hao figured Ah Yin probably needed that kind of professional literature.

Brother Big Dog's family was responsible for raising the village's pigs, and all the pork in the village came from them.

Tian Hao had even written a booklet on postpartum care for sows based on what he had seen in his previous life, lest anything happen to the village's finest old sow.

The usually quiet Tian Dagou set down his steel spear and ran home.

"Don't be embarrassed. Human bodies are actually structured much like pigs', and childbirth works on roughly the same principle as that monthly thing. It can be applied.

"Oh, and Uncle Hao should read that postpartum care for sows booklet too. Not only can it help you take better care of Sister Ah Yin when she has her monthly thing, but it'll also come in handy after you have children someday.

"I'm sure Uncle Hao doesn't want Sister Ah Yin to be left with any lasting ailments because she wasn't cared for properly during her confinement after giving birth, right?"

After giving instructions to the tremblingly furious Ah Yin, Tian Hao turned to Tang Hao and urged him to first learn an essential skill of being a good husband.

For instance, reminding Ah Yin to drink more hot water.

Tang Hao's face twisted slightly. Especially when he felt his fiancée's icy gaze, he shrank his neck and did not dare say a word, doing his best to minimize his presence.

That brat dared to court death, but Tang Hao did not.

Brother Big Dog was highly efficient. Before long, he ran back carrying a thin booklet. After handing it to Tian Hao, he returned to his original spot to practice his spear.

"Sister Ah Yin, let me tell you, the essence of this is that your body has already prepared itself to conceive a baby. It's just that you haven't moved in with Uncle Hao yet, so those opportunities can only be lost again and again.

"But since your body has made the preparations, if it isn't used, it has to be discarded. That's why you have that uncomfortable period every month..."

Tian Hao explained the nature of the matter to Ah Yin. After all, the old woman had transformed from a plant, so she surely had no experience in this area and did not understand its essence. Naturally, she could not solve it properly.

These things had to be explained clearly. As long as she understood the principles behind them, Tian Hao believed that with the Blue Silver Domain's precise control, she could definitely avoid that physiological period.

"This is an instinct of the body. But if you can study and understand the principles within it, you can take the initiative to control these instinctive bodily changes and eliminate that monthly period of weakness..."

Tian Hao explained with a completely serious expression, like a specialist veterinarian who performed sterilization procedures.

"This is another hypothesis you came up with?"

Her pretty face darkened as Ah Yin suppressed the urge to stab him with her spear.

Couldn't this brat speak like a normal person?

"What do you think? It's a good hypothesis, right? As long as we solve your women's periods of weakness, I'm sure you'll be able to hold up half the sky and prove to the world that women are no weaker than men."

Tian Hao looked proud, even waiting for Ah Yin's praise.

This was a great hypothesis, one that could allow women to become independent.

It would also spare Sister Ah Yin her monthly period of weakness. Otherwise, she would be at a serious disadvantage if she encountered enemies and had to fight during that time, and it would delay her cultivation too.

Ah Yin was the little white mouse Tian Hao thought most highly of. Many of his hypotheses and experiments needed her help, so she had to grow stronger more quickly and effectively. More importantly, she could not die midway like in the original story.

"Why, thank you so much!"

Ah Yin thanked him through gritted teeth. She did not want to talk to this thing anymore, or she would be angered to death sooner or later.

Sensing his fiancée's killing intent, Tang Hao made himself even less noticeable, lest he become her punching bag.

That brat was highly valued by Ah Yin now, and she could not bear to hit him even once. If Tang Hao showed himself at this moment, disaster would definitely befall him.

Silence was golden!

"No need to thank me!"

Tian Hao modestly accepted it, making Ah Yin glare at him irritably.

Then her gaze fell upon Tian Hao's right foot, which wore a thick-soled shoe. Her eyes shifted, and she came up with an idea.

"These past few days, I've gained a new insight into the Blue Silver Domain. I can help restore your right leg, but your problem is rather serious. Your right leg must first be cut off, and then I'll use the Blue Silver Domain to regrow the severed limb..."

Ah Yin froze halfway through her sentence. Tian Hao had directly reversed the steel spear in his hand and slashed its blade at his right leg below the knee.

Unfortunately, the spear blade was not sharpened. One chop failed to sever it, and he had to strike it another four or five times before it was fully cut off.

At the same time, he temporarily sealed the blood vessels with Soul Power to prevent blood loss.

He even used Soul Power to merge with and draw the blood from the vessels in his right calf back into his body. Thus, even after the lower leg was severed, not a single drop of blood flowed from the wound.

That was the benefit of training Soul Power control. After being injured in battle, one would not bleed to death.

Even if poisoned, one could use Soul Power to block the blood flow in the wounded area and prevent the poison from spreading through circulation.

"I'll have to trouble you, Sister Ah Yin."

Tian Hao asked sincerely, smiling like a fool in delight.

His leg had been injured when he was used for research at Martial Soul Academy. Excessive training had caused a comminuted fracture of the bone in his right lower leg. Although it had later been healed by a Healing System Soul Master, it had not truly recovered and had left lasting complications. The bone in his right leg grew very slowly.

As a result, his right leg was five centimeters shorter than his left, leaving him disabled with uneven legs.

No one wanted to be disabled, and naturally, neither did he.

For the past few years, he had dreamed of restoring his right leg. Now that an opportunity lay before him, he could not possibly let it pass.

As for the pain of losing a leg, after years of harsh training, it truly meant nothing to him.

Besides, for some reason, pain gave him a stimulating sense of excitement. He had once suspected that he was a masochist.

"What are you doing?"

Having finally snapped out of it, Ah Yin was furious. She had merely wanted to scare the brat, yet before she had even finished speaking, he had swung his spear and cut off his leg.

Tang Hao stared wide-eyed as well. Was something missing in this brat's brain?

Couldn't he tell Ah Yin was just messing with him?

And was that leg really his?

That was far too decisive!

The process of severing it had been so brutal that even Tang Hao's brows twitched. Couldn't he have found a sharper knife to cut it off with?

"You said cutting it off would let you restore it."

Tian Hao found Ah Yin's reaction baffling. He had done exactly as the old woman told him.

"If I tell you to chop it off, you chop it off? If I say I can regrow a severed limb, you believe me? Do you have no brain? Where did that irritating cleverness of yours usually go?"

Ah Yin grew even angrier. Did this brat even have a brain?

"I trust you!"

Tian Hao's reply was simple, only three words, but they carried boundless trust.

He absolutely believed in limb regeneration. In the original story, Tang San had regenerated a severed limb himself and had even helped his father regrow one. As the genuine Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin surely possessed such a method.

With the original story as proof, what was there not to believe?

Moreover, there were not many trustworthy people in the entire Douluo world. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo counted as one, and Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin counted as another.

Not to mention that Tian Hao now bore the heavy responsibility of resolving the conflict between soul beasts and human Soul Masters. Ah Yin would protect him even at the cost of her life, so if she said she could regrow his limb, then it would definitely regrow.

Unfortunately, Tian Hao was still too young. He had forgotten Zhang Wuji's mother's great saying, so he had fallen into the trap.

Yet this trust left Ah Yin both moved and guilty. She secretly blamed herself for being so petty earlier, actually seeking revenge over such a trivial matter against such a pure child.

She truly should not have done that!

Even Tang Hao sighed with emotion. Although this child sometimes seemed to be missing a screw, his heart was so pure and clean that it was rare in the world, making others feel ashamed of themselves just looking at him.

But perhaps only such a clean and pure heart could possess such broad-minded courage and astonishing talent.

It was only a pity that his talent was too poor. Otherwise, his future achievements would have been limitless, and he might even have reached the same peak as Tang Hao's grandfather.

What a pity!

Tian Someone: So I really am a pure young man, with a heart as pure as gold. You have to believe me! Also, remember to vote and comfort my pure little heart.

Oh, right. I heard that only an uppercase M is a true masochist.
