Seeing Tang Hao hesitate,
Tang San asked in confusion,
"Dad, what's wrong? What needs protecting?"
"It's nothing, nothing," Tang Hao cut her off.
"There's nothing that needs protecting."
Tang Hao quickly changed his words.
"It's so hot."
Blue Silver Fox Liu Ruyan suddenly spoke.
Tang Hao could not help but feel surprised. This Blue Silver Fox truly possessed remarkable intelligence.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"Could you be Ah Yin?"
Blue Silver Fox froze for a moment. Naturally, she knew what Tang Hao meant.
But she absolutely could not admit it at a time like this.
It would be best not to reveal that both she and Tang San were transmigrators.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Tang Hao gave a self-mocking smile.
How could that be possible? Ah Yin was currently hidden inside the waterfall in the back mountain.
Suddenly, Tang Hao began to feel hot as well.
And it kept getting hotter, as if he were being roasted.
"Why is it so hot?"
"And it smells like something's burning."
Suddenly,
he sharply noticed flames continuously rising outside the house.
"Fire!"
Tang Hao was instantly startled.
"How could there be a fire?!"
Tang San smiled.
"Of course I set it."
Tang Hao and Blue Silver Fox both stared wide-eyed at Tang San.
"Why did you set a fire?"
"You won't let me go to Spirit Hall, so I burned down our house. If you still won't let me go, I'll burn down the village."
Tang Hao was furious.
He had never seen a child like this before.
"Put out the fire first!"
Tang Hao could not think about anything else now. He immediately started looking for water and anything else he could use to extinguish the flames.
Blue Silver Fox Liu Ruyan, meanwhile, was puzzled as to why Tang San wanted to go to Spirit Hall and burn down the house.
Wanting to go to Spirit Hall was understandable. She wanted to go there too.
But burning down the house was beyond her understanding.
This did not fit Tang San's character at all.
Then she suddenly understood.
So this was her purpose.
This was a world that had gone off the rails.
And she was supposed to set it right!
Otherwise, she would only need to wait twenty years to automatically become a god. That would be far too easy.
Tang Hao began putting out the fire.
But Tang San grabbed a burning match and began setting the neighboring houses on fire.
Especially the roofs.
The roofs were made entirely of thatch, so they caught fire with the slightest spark.
Most of Holy Soul Village's people were not at home, busy with farmwork in the fields.
Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dart around nonstop.
She lit one rooftop after another.
Ye Ying saw Tang San about to come set his house on fire.
He hurriedly used the system to modify things and make Tang San change direction.
Seeing Tang San leave,
Ye Ying finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I only meant for Tang San to burn down her own house."
"Why did Tang San start burning down the village?"
Ye Ying had merely changed "return" to "burn."
[Tang San wanted to go to Spirit Hall but was refused by Tang Hao, so now she could only burn down the house.]
Although it was clearly a little incoherent, it could still be explained.
Blue Silver Fox quickly followed behind Tang San and tried to stop her.
"Tang San, don't burn it, stop burning things. If you keep this up, something will happen to you."
"Something will happen? What could happen?"
Tang San did not think anything would happen at all.
Seeing Blue Silver Fox continuously trying to stop her,
Tang San flew into the air and kicked Blue Silver Fox, knocking her unconscious once again.
Then she continued burning down the village!
Finally,
Old Jack, having returned home, noticed something was wrong.
Why had the village suddenly become so bright?
And why was it filled with smoke?
He hurriedly went outside to look.
When he saw the scene outside, he froze.
Tang San was holding a torch and hopping back and forth like a monkey, constantly setting other people's houses on fire.
She set fire to everything that could burn.
Behind her, Holy Soul Village's villagers were relentlessly chasing after her.
Although some people were away from home, quite a few were still there.
"Tang San, you little brat, stop right there!"
Old Jack was dumbfounded. He carefully rubbed his eyes. Tang San had always been such a well-behaved child.
Why had she become like this today?
Could it be that Tang Hao refusing to let her go to Spirit Hall had driven her a little mad?
Tang San eventually ran out of stamina and was caught by the villagers of Holy Soul Village.
At this point, the villagers still did not know Tang San had actually become a girl.
"Tang Hao!"
"Look at your child! Just look at your child!"
A group of people held Tang San and repeatedly pointed accusingly at Tang Hao.
Meanwhile, inside Ye Ying's home,
Ye Ying sat on the windowsill, hugging a cup of Pearl Milk Tea and noisily slurping it.
Watching the show while drinking milk tea was simply wonderful.
This Mixue Ice Cream Fairy martial soul was truly powerful.
He did not know how strong it was in battle, but being able to freely use Soul Power to create Mixue beverages was genuinely impressive.
And whatever Mixue had, he could create.
It could even restore Soul Power and stamina. As for whether it had any other uses, that would require further observation.
Come to think of it, if it had been a Drunken Sword Immortal or Coffee Sword Immortal, what he drank would have been far too monotonous.
"Village Chief, what should we do about this?"
Someone asked Old Jack.
Old Jack thought for a moment.
"Set fire to a mountain, and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Tang San's actions are not quite that serious, but she must still be severely punished. And Tang Hao, both father and daughter must be punished."
"Lock them up for three months!"
"To serve as a warning to others!"
Tang Hao was the first to object.
"What? Lock me up for three months?"
"Impossible."
Old Jack snorted coldly. "Impossible?"
"Men, seize Tang Hao!"
"Lock him in the village pigsty. It's been empty and useless anyway."
Four or five burly villagers quickly stepped forward and surrounded Tang Hao.
They wanted to take him down.
But they were ordinary people, while Tang Hao was a Title Douluo.
Back then, even without using his martial soul, he could beat Zhao Wuji senseless. These ordinary people were nothing compared to that.
Instead, the village strongmen were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen.
"Tang Hao!"
Old Jack was so furious that he jumped up and down.
"Well, well! You really are a blacksmith, aren't you? Strong as an ox."
"Do you believe I'll send someone to Notting City right now to report this and have them invite Spirit Hall's Soul Masters over?"
"I refuse to believe they still won't be able to subdue you."
Hearing this, Tang Hao froze, and the strength in his hands instantly slackened.
Call Spirit Hall's people over?
It was not that he feared Spirit Hall's little trash.
But he did fear his identity being exposed.
If it was exposed,
then it would not merely be those little trash coming for him. All sorts of Title Douluo would swiftly surround him.
That would be dangerous.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, wishing he could pull out the Clear Sky Hammer and smash Old Jack with it.
He coldly glared at Tang San.
It was all Tang San's fault.
Who knew what madness had possessed her? She had actually set more than half the village on fire.
"Hmph."
Old Jack snorted coldly. "Now lock Tang Hao and Tang San in the pigsty for three months."
"Let's see if they dare burn down the village again."
"Get in!"
The pigsty door slammed shut with a bang.
Tang Hao looked at the stinking place, leaped up, and kicked Tang San.
"Rebellious Daughter!"
He somewhat regretted not disciplining Tang San more.
Or perhaps becoming a girl first and then being forbidden from becoming a Soul Master had been too much of a blow to her.
