Tang Hao: Ah Yin! How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?!

["Big Brother, what happened?!"]

["Why did Third Sister suddenly want to leave us? We agreed to adventure together and experience all the different sights the world had to offer!"]

[Hearing Tang Xiao's words, Tang Hao felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull as he grabbed Tang Xiao by the shoulders, shaking him wildly and demanding answers.]

["Sigh!"]

[Tang Xiao gave a bitter smile and sighed.]

["Last night, didn't we meet His Holiness the Pope?"]

["His Holiness the Pope thought Ah Yin was quite talented and recruited her to join Spirit Hall. Ah Yin agreed..."]

[Although Tang Xiao knew Ah Yin's true identity, after some thought, he still decided not to tell his second brother, Tang Hao.]

[If he told Tang Hao why Qian Xunji had truly taken Third Sister away...]

[He feared that Tang Hao would do something impulsive and drag the family and the Clear Sky Sect into it.]

[Therefore, Tang Xiao only gave the most superficial false explanation.]

["What?!"]

["No! That's impossible! How could Third Sister do this? Big Brother, you must be lying to me!"]

["That Qian Xunji must have threatened Third Sister and forced her to join Spirit Hall!"]

["No, I have to save Third Sister!"]

[Upon learning the reason, Tang Hao could not accept it at all. With bloodshot eyes, he roared furiously, summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and prepared to rescue Ah Yin from Qian Xunji!]

Black World, the back mountain of Holy Soul Village.

Inside a valley.

Within the pitch-black stone chamber behind the waterfall.

After discovering that, in the White World's Comparison Video, Tang Hao had immediately realized that he must have been coerced upon learning that his White World self was going to "join" Spirit Hall, and had furiously wanted to rescue him, Ah Yin was deeply moved and murmured inwardly.

Sure enough, I was right to choose Brother Hao back then!

In the White World, my other self was forced to submit to Qian Xunji and leave with him.

Even though Big Brother knew my true identity, he chose to say nothing and did nothing for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect.

But Brother Hao immediately guessed that I had been coerced and wanted to save me!

This understanding and concern for me are what make him someone truly worthy of my love!

["Second Brother, be rational!"]

[Seeing that Tang Hao was clearly overwhelmed by rage and actually intended to rescue Third Sister Ah Yin from Qian Xunji.]

[Tang Xiao was both anxious and furious. He grabbed Tang Hao, slapped him across the face twice with a sharp Smack! Smack!, seized his shoulders, and spoke with utter frustration.]

["Leaving aside whether Third Sister left willingly with His Holiness the Pope, so what if she was forced?"]

["Qian Xunji broke through to Title Douluo at around thirty. By now, he has likely already broken through level ninety-five and reached the realm of a Super Douluo. And his martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel."]

["Even if the two of us joined forces, we wouldn't be able to defeat him. Instead, we'd only bring trouble to the family and the sect. Have you thought about that?!"]

[Tang Xiao glared with bloodshot eyes and said furiously.]

["We are disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and members of the Tang Family. Before you act, you absolutely cannot be impulsive. You must consider whether it will implicate the family and the sect. That is our responsibility, understand?!"]

[Hearing mention of the family and sect, Tang Hao finally calmed down. His face was filled with grief, rage, and pain. Tears welled in his eyes as his body trembled, and he spoke in a hoarse, choked voice.]

["Big Brother, I understand..."]

[Falling Blossom Town, inside its most luxurious hotel.]

[Qian Xunji sat upright in the hotel's main hall, his long golden hair draped over his shoulders. Wearing a calm smile, he waited for Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to arrive.]

[Ah Yin sat beside him.]

[Although Ah Yin had agreed to leave with Qian Xunji.]

[She had still asked to bid farewell to her sworn eldest brother Tang Xiao and second brother Tang Hao before departing.]

[Qian Xunji agreed.]

[Because Tang Hao had gotten drunk last night and had yet to wake up.]

[Qian Xunji thus sat here with Ah Yin, waiting for Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to arrive.]

[Before long, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao finally arrived at the hotel side by side.]

[The moment Tang Hao saw Ah Yin, he clenched his fists. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his expression was unbearably sorrowful.]

[After approaching with Tang Xiao, Tang Hao asked in deep grief.]

["Third Sister, are you really leaving?"]

["Mm..."]

[Ah Yin also looked somewhat sorrowful. Her gentle, breathtakingly beautiful face was tinged with sadness, her lovely eyes slightly red as she bit her lower lip and said.]

["Second Brother, I'm a commoner soul master. Spirit Hall is the faction best suited for me."]

["I can't miss this invitation from His Holiness the Pope."]

["From now on, I won't be able to travel the Soul Master World with you anymore. I hope you'll forgive me."]

["It's fine! It's fine!"]

["Third Sister, your future is what matters. Your future is what matters!"]

[Tang Hao's eyes reddened, and his voice choked up. He waved his hands and said it was fine, yet tears continued streaming down his face.]

[He looked as though bitter wine had entered his throat and pierced his heart, his grief and sorrow impossible to contain.]

[Thinking that he had not yet had the chance to tell Third Sister Ah Yin, Tang Hao felt even more heartbroken and sorrowful.]

[It hurt!]

[It hurt so much!]

Third Sister, I haven't even had the chance to tell you I love you, yet I've already lost you.

How am I supposed to live without you?!

[Tang Hao was overcome with grief, nearly wanting to throw back his head and howl at the heavens.]

[Clenching his fists, Tang Hao's eyes had originally been bloodshot as he wanted to viciously warn Qian Xunji not to bully Third Sister in the future, to take good care of her, and to treat her well.]

[But when he thought of the gap in strength between himself and Qian Xunji.]

[Tang Hao swallowed those words. He merely looked at Qian Xunji with bloodshot eyes and pleaded.]

["Your Holiness the Pope, please take better care of Ah Yin in the future. Ah Yin is innocent and kind, with a pure nature. You absolutely must not let anyone in Spirit Hall bully her."]

["If you let someone bully Ah Yin, then I... then I'll kneel on the ground and beg you!!"]

["Don't worry! Within Spirit Hall, I will never allow anyone other than myself to bully her!"]

[Qian Xunji smiled as he said this.]

[Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Tang Hao felt that there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind them.]

[But consumed by grief, he did not think too much about it.]

["Third Sister, once we're no longer by your side, make sure to take good care of yourself!"]

[After speaking to Qian Xunji, Tang Hao's eyes reddened again, tears filling them as he urged Ah Yin.]

["Second Brother, Big Brother, I understand!"]

[Ah Yin was also filled with gratitude and sorrow as she spoke to Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.]

[After waving farewell to Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, Ah Yin rose and left the hotel with Qian Xunji. The two leaped into the air and swiftly departed Falling Blossom Town, vanishing into the woods beyond it.]

[Watching Ah Yin's figure disappear.]

[Tang Hao suddenly dropped to his knees, fists clenched and eyes bloodshot, tears in his eyes as he threw back his head and cried out in unbearable grief.]

["No! No!"]

["Third Sister! My Third Sister!"]

["Heavens! Why are you treating me like this?!"]

["Falling blossoms, falling silver—was it fate that decreed I, Tang Hao, would lose Third Sister here?!"]

["Third Sister, you left so suddenly. How am I supposed to live without you?!"]
