Gulp.
Looking at the alluring Ah Yin before him, Lin Yue swallowed hard, unable to help himself.
The scene before his eyes was simply too impactful.
Ever since he joined Martial Soul Hall in this life, and ever since he was told his Martial Soul and Soul Skills were trash, he had been cultivating diligently just to prove himself.
As a result, even at forty years old, he remained a virgin.
He was a completely different person compared to his past life.
"M... Master..."
Ah Yin opened her eyes quickly, and when she saw the burning, greedy gaze in Lin Yue's eyes, her heart suddenly panicked!
Could it be that Master wanted to do that to her?
No, Master, please don't; Ah Yin does not want to betray her husband.
Ah Yin screamed in her heart.
"Ah Yin, take your hands away!"
Lin Yue commanded Ah Yin.
"Yes... Master!"
Ah Yin trembled at his words. As she let go with both hands, her eyes turned red: "Master, can you please spare Ah Yin? Ah Yin does not want to betray my husband."
"What? Tang Hao has treated you like that, and you still want to forgive him?"
Hearing Ah Yin's words, Lin Yue immediately wore an expression of exasperation.
"T... Tang Hao, how has he betrayed me?"
Ah Yin was slightly stunned by his words, not quite understanding what her master meant.
"First of all, has Tang Hao not been hiding the fact that your son, Tang San, has been possessed by another soul?" Lin Yue asked.
"I know, but he did that so I wouldn't be heartbroken!"
Ah Yin spoke up to defend Tang Hao; she could at least understand that much about him.
"Fine, let's set that aside. Tell me, after Tang San awakened his Martial Soul, did Tang Hao come to talk to you about him?" Lin Yue didn't press the point, asking instead.
"He did. He came to tell me that our son had awakened his Martial Soul, and that it was a Twin Martial Soul!"
Ah Yin answered without a second thought.
"Then tell me, was his tone at the time very happy?"
Lin Yue continued to ask.
"...Yes, Master."
There was a slight pause in Ah Yin's voice, and it grew weaker.
"Do you know why he was so happy?"
Lin Yue didn't wait for Ah Yin to answer this time, saying directly: "It is because he was happy that the Clear Sky Sect had a successor. He was happy that a peerless genius had appeared in the Clear Sky Sect. He was excited for the sect."
"I said before that Tang Hao discovered long ago that Tang San had been possessed. That is why he ignored him and abused him when Tang San was a child, showing no responsibility as a father. Many times he wouldn't even cook, relying on Tang San to make food for him. Many people in that village know this."
"Tang Hao knew the truth but didn't kill Tang San, simply because that body belonged to your son, and he couldn't bear to do it."
"That is understandable!"
"But the moment he learned Tang San had awakened a Twin Martial Soul, everything changed. He began to teach Tang San how to cultivate, began to care for him, and now he is even secretly protecting him from the shadows!"
"Tang Hao's change was nothing more than him coveting Tang San's talent, choosing to forget the fact that he is no longer your son!"
"He has accepted a thief as his own son!"
"When he did this, he only thought of the Clear Sky Sect; he was only happy that the Clear Sky Sect had gained a peerless genius."
"Whether Tang San is his son or not no longer matters."
"But when he did this, did he ever think of you, his wife?"
"No. He didn't even reveal a shred of the truth to you!"
"I suspect that in the future, he will bring Tang San before you, making Tang San acknowledge you as his mother, and simultaneously making you acknowledge Tang San as your son."
"Do you think you can accept that?"
"Can you accept the current Tang San as your son?"
At the end, Lin Yue stared straight into Ah Yin's eyes, asking with an oppressive sense of urgency.
Ah Yin opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Lin Yue's words were like cold, sharp blades, precisely piercing through the remaining beautiful illusions she held about Tang Hao and the last excuses she had for her husband.
When Tang Hao told her about Tang San awakening his Twin Martial Soul, his words had been filled with an irrepressible ecstasy.
Tang Hao had indeed confided in her that once Tang San grew up, he would definitely bring him back to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge his ancestors.
Even if he couldn't return himself, it didn't matter, as long as Tang San could.
"I..." She had barely uttered a single word before her voice trembled violently, as if an invisible force had seized her by the throat.
Those beautiful eyes, newly reborn and still glistening with moisture, were instantly flooded with immense pain and a sense of incredulous betrayal.
She could understand Tang Hao concealing the truth about their son being possessed as an act of protection.
But Tang Hao's behavior of acknowledging the thief as his own son had truly and deeply wounded her.
He was no longer seeking vengeance for their son being possessed.
And he had kept all of this hidden from her.
"How... how could he..." Ah Yin's voice was shattered, thick with a heavy, sobbing tone.
Crystal-clear tears could no longer be held back; like pearls from a broken string, they rolled in large drops down her fair cheeks, splashing onto her delicate skin.
"Alright, stop crying!"
"You won't be pretty if you keep crying!"
Seeing this, Lin Yue could not help but step forward to embrace her, offering soft words of comfort.
Yet, while there was pity in the corners of Lin Yue's mouth, there was far more triumph. "Tang Hao is no longer worthy of your affection. From this day forward, you only need to serve your master well."
Held in Lin Yue's arms, Ah Yin's delicate body trembled slightly.
"Yes... Master!"
Ah Yin nodded in resignation.
This time, she was willing.
Since Tang Hao could betray her, she could do the same to him.
"Haha, that's more like it. Come, undress your master!"
Hearing this, Lin Yue laughed immediately, then spread his arms and gave the command.
Within the secret realm, the rustling sounds of Lin Yue's gear being removed soon followed.
And so, the newly resurrected, brand-new Ah Yin fell into the clutches of Lin Yue.
Lin Yue's forty years of accumulated stock finally found a place to be put to use.
While Lin Yue was enjoying his wonderful life.
Martial Soul Hall, possessing the largest number of spirit masters, had also learned through intelligence from various regions that spirit beasts everywhere had vanished overnight.
"What did you say?"
"The spirit beasts have disappeared?"
Upon suddenly hearing this news, the spirit pressure on Bibi Dong erupted uncontrollably, causing the entire Pope Palace to shudder.
"Y-yes, Your Holiness the Pope. The subordinates stationed at the nearby Soul Hunting Forests managed by our Martial Soul Hall have sent word back; all the spirit beasts inside are gone."
"The number has already exceeded ten Soul Hunting Forests."
The intelligence officer trembled slightly before speaking in a rush.
"Immediately, at once, ascertain the situation in the other Soul Hunting Forests, and at the same time, gather more intelligence from all places where spirit beasts are known to appear!"
