He took Xiao Wu into a hotel, and Liu Yuan quickly got them a room.
After they had both washed up, they went straight to bed and had sex.
One thing was worth mentioning.
Liu Yuan and Xiao Wu had never had any emotional attachment to each other.
This was true both of Liu Yuan toward Xiao Wu and of Xiao Wu toward Liu Yuan.
The only reason they had ended up together was Tang San.
Xiao Wu wanted revenge because Tang San had wronged her first.
Liu Yuan was the same.
So at that moment, the two of them were simply enjoying the physical pleasure. There was little emotional connection between them.
However, there was one thing that had to be said.
Thinking of Xiao Wu as Tang San's woman, yet having her beneath him now, inevitably gave Liu Yuan a thrill.
Before long, the night passed.
Early the next morning, Liu Yuan didn't stay in Suotuo City any longer. He took Xiao Wu and left, heading back to the Land of Inheritance of the God of Death.
On the way, he told Xiao Wu roughly about his circumstances.
Liu Yuan had nothing to hide about that.
After all, he had brought Xiao Wu back to life, and both her body and soul were under his control. She could never betray him.
So Liu Yuan had no reservations about telling Xiao Wu some of his secrets.
As for Xiao Wu—
After hearing about Liu Yuan's past, she couldn't help staring at him in astonishment.
She was amazed.
She never would have thought Liu Yuan had experienced so much after that, much less that he would rise so far and become the inheritor of a god.
"Tang San and Yu Xiaogang brought this on themselves."
"They made an enemy for no reason."
"If only they knew you were still alive, and that their own meddling had helped you achieve what you have today."
"That would make for quite a scene."
Xiao Wu said this to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan smiled faintly.
He could already imagine how awful Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would look when the truth came out, and he couldn't help looking forward to it.
But he also knew it wasn't time to reveal himself yet.
Right now, he was in the shadows, while Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were out in the open.
That was Liu Yuan's greatest advantage.
So, as far as Liu Yuan was concerned—
Either he kept his identity hidden, or he revealed himself only when he could crush Tang San and Yu Xiaogang outright.
But it clearly wasn't time yet.
So he had to keep holding back.
"They'll find out sooner or later."
"No rush."
After hearing Xiao Wu, Liu Yuan smiled as he replied.
Then he changed the subject and said no more.
After that, he told her roughly how he had tortured Yu Xiaogang.
Xiao Wu said it was satisfying.
Ever since she had seen through Tang San's true nature, Xiao Wu had held no fondness for Yu Xiaogang and the others.
After all, they had been able to get along so well and even become master and disciple. They must have been in cahoots.
Xiao Wu didn't need to think twice to know Yu Xiaogang was no good.
And after hearing Liu Yuan describe his crimes, she felt the same way.
She was more and more convinced that Yu Xiaogang deserved to die.
So when Xiao Wu learned how Liu Yuan had tortured Yu Xiaogang, she was delighted.
She even wanted to use the same brutal methods Liu Yuan had used on Yu Xiaogang against Tang San.
"Castrating the master and disciple together and making them a pair of eunuchs—it might not be a bad idea."
Xiao Wu smiled coldly at the thought.
Liu Yuan smiled but said nothing, continuing on with Xiao Wu.
Their journey had gone smoothly all the way.
But just as they were nearing the Land of Inheritance of the God of Death, they ran into trouble.
Liu Yuan and Xiao Wu were still on the road when two tall figures suddenly began following them from behind.
They were quite a distance from Liu Yuan and Xiao Wu, but the evil aura radiating from their bodies was impossible to conceal, even from far away.
"Evil Soul Masters."
"And they're no weaklings."
Liu Yuan recognized them at once. As the God of Death, he was exceptionally sensitive to negative forces and emotions, so he immediately sensed the true identities of the two figures and told Xiao Wu.
"Evil Soul Masters?"
"Then we're in trouble. Those people are all lunatics!"
Xiao Wu grew nervous.
She had spent many years traveling around Douluo Continent, after all, so she knew what Evil Soul Masters represented.
They were a special kind of Soul Master, either born from a Martial Soul Mutation or having willingly fallen into depravity.
They possessed strength beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters and were divided into different ranks. The higher the rank, the greater their Soul Power.
Given the same configuration, Evil Soul Masters were far stronger than ordinary Soul Masters.
But they were also incredibly brutal. They ate people and drank blood, killing to cultivate. They were deranged and practiced bizarre methods.
Xiao Wu had once heard of an Evil Soul Master who had killed more than a thousand babies to advance, drinking their blood to increase his Soul Power.
So when Xiao Wu realized their enemies were Evil Soul Masters, she grew extremely anxious.
"We can't beat them. They're both Soul Douluo."
"Let's go. We're almost there."
"Once we arrive, we won't have to fear them."
Liu Yuan remained calm.
He had just sensed the strength of the two Evil Soul Masters, and his conclusion was that they were no match for them.
Fortunately, they were already close to the Land of Inheritance of the God of Death.
Once they got there, it wouldn't matter if there were two Evil Soul Masters—or two hundred, or even two thousand.
After all, once they returned to the Land of Inheritance of the God of Death, they would have Liu Yuan's true body on their side.
And even if his true body couldn't beat them, they still had the God of Death.
With the God of Death's power, killing these Evil Soul Masters would be no different from crushing ants.
So Liu Yuan wasn't worried.
He simply took Xiao Wu and ran at full speed toward their destination.
"Still, it's surprising to find Evil Soul Masters here."
As he ran, Liu Yuan couldn't help feeling puzzled.
He knew far more about Evil Soul Masters than Xiao Wu did.
Xiao Wu only had a basic understanding of them.
But Liu Yuan even knew where they lived and what their situation was.
This was the first era of Douluo Continent.
At this point in the timeline, most of the Evil Soul Masters on Douluo Continent had gathered in the Capital of Slaughter because it existed.
Later, Tang San destroyed the Capital of Slaughter, leaving those Evil Soul Masters with nowhere to go. Only then did they spread across Douluo Continent.
And on top of that, Tang San later destroyed Spirit Hall.
While Spirit Hall still existed, it maintained order and hunted down Evil Soul Masters.
Once Spirit Hall was gone, no one was left to keep the Evil Soul Masters in check. Tang San, meanwhile, simply patted himself off and went straight to the Divine Realm.
As a result, the number of Evil Soul Masters kept growing.
The people of Douluo Continent suffered more and more.
That was another one of Tang San's great sins.
