Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang

How could such a coincidence exist? The seed of life of the Blue Silver Emperor was still here, yet Tang Hao had suddenly vanished without a trace, taking Tang San with him. Combining the fact that the power of Tang Hao's ring detonation had lasted for three full days, smashing Qian Xunji and two Title Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall to pieces, the result was clear: the Asura God had secretly interfered, influencing Tang Hao's mind to ensure he left Holy Soul Village with Tang San in time.

For a god to influence the thoughts of a soul master is the simplest of tasks.

Since the Asura God was secretly providing cover, there was likely no way to find Tang Hao and Tang San to kill them, at least not before the Asura God decided to abandon Tang San.

"So be it. I had already suspected as much and made preparations accordingly. I shall first claim the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone."

Golden light flared on Qian Daoliu's palm as he threw a punch. With a thunderous boom, the waterfall's water sprayed everywhere and rocks shattered; the stone cave that Tang Hao had excavated to house the Blue Silver Emperor was revealed right before his eyes.

Entering the cave, he passed through a dark, damp passage and arrived at the stone chamber where Ah Yin resided.

This was a stone chamber about ten square meters in diameter, empty and devoid of any furnishings. There was a small hole in the ceiling, through which sunlight shone down onto a mound of earth in the center of the room.

Atop the mound, a slender, newly sprouted Blue Silver Grass danced in the breeze. This blade of grass was longer than an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, adorned with peculiar golden patterns that resembled fine silk threads, extending all the way to the veins of the leaves.

Ah Yin watched Qian Daoliu, her leaves trembling in the wind as fear took hold; she had likely mistaken him for Qian Xunji, as the two shared a striking resemblance. After all, was it not Qian Xunji who had forced her into this state?

"That fellow Tang Hao is truly something. To plant Ah Yin like this—is he not afraid of her withering away? That she can still sprout in such an environment is a testament to the Blue Silver Emperor's incredibly tenacious vitality."

Qian Daoliu reached out and plucked the Blue Silver Grass from the small mound. Ah Yin's seed of life was now in his hand, and he promptly placed it into a living-storage Soul Tool that contained immortal herbs, intending to transplant it into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later.

According to the original story, Ah Yin would absorb nutrients at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to return to her hundred-thousand-year cultivation. This meant she would once again become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, eligible to be hunted and sacrificed to produce a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Naturally, this could not be allowed to go to waste.

Hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beasts could shape their own faces and figures, which was why female transformed soul beasts were all breathtakingly beautiful; the original text described Ah Yin's appearance after her resurrection as otherworldly.

If not for the fact that Qian Daoliu was two generations older than Tang Hao—which would be far too shameless—he would have truly liked to play the role of the "Prime Minister." After all, while the Qian Renxue vessel had decent talent, her brain was simply lacking; Qian Xunji was a failure among failures, so for the sake of insurance, it would be better to add more descendants.

Even if he could set aside his pride, there was no time. The original text stated that it would take twenty years for Ah Yin to re-cultivate her hundred-thousand-year strength at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Twenty years—the opportunity would have long since passed. Even if he used Angel Divine Power to accelerate the process, how much time could he really shave off?

Therefore, it was better to let Ah Yin regenerate a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.

Qian Daoliu's gaze shifted to a spot on the wall about as high as his thigh. He kicked it, and a small box fell out. The box opened to reveal a crystal-clear, glowing blue soul bone.

The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

After securing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Qian Daoliu was about to leave when he raised an eyebrow. He reached out and pulled an ordinary, newly sprouted blade of Blue Silver Grass toward him, planting it into the mound.

Aside from the unique golden threads of the Blue Silver Emperor, this blade of grass was indistinguishable from Ah Yin.

By planting this ordinary Blue Silver Grass here, Tang Hao would eventually return to Holy Soul Village with Tang San. He had gone to such lengths to arrange things for Bibi Zhu and Bibi Dong; if Tang Hao discovered the Blue Silver Emperor was missing and left Holy Soul Village with Tang San, and Tang San didn't end up apprenticing under Yu Xiaogang after his soul awakening, then all his efforts regarding Bibi Zhu and Bibi Dong would have been in vain.

Qian Daoliu soared upward, smashing a large hole through the ceiling of the cave he had only just entered. Sunlight poured through the new opening, and the previously pitch-black cave instantly became much brighter.

With the task complete, Qian Daoliu once again flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, intending to check on how Bibi Dong was doing along the way.

Nuoding City, Nuoding Academy.

The time had reached the hour of the dragon; Nuoding Academy generally held classes in the morning, leaving the students free in the afternoon.

Within Nuoding Academy, many students were gathered in small groups, either playing, flirting, or cultivating...

In the group where the most students were gathered, there was a little girl of about six years old. She was extremely cute, and every movement of her eyes and brows exuded an invisible charm.

This orange-haired little girl seemed to be the leader of these students; everyone looked to her for guidance, calling her "Sister Na."

"Na? With this temperament, could it be Hu Liena?"

A playful smile tugged at the corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth. He hadn't expected that when Bibi Dong left Martial Soul Hall, she would actually take Hu Liena with her.

In the next thirty years, the development of Martial Soul Hall would reach an unprecedented height, and aside from Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, Hu Liena would also be indispensable.

This little girl's "love-brain" in the first volume of the series was definitely at the T0 level.

What is a T0-level love-brain? Simply put, love is everything. In the face of love, ancestors, parents, siblings, relatives, family, responsibility, and gratitude meant nothing; everything could be discarded. To put it mildly, she licked the boots of her beloved without any bottom line.

It was normal for Hu Liena's love-brain to be so astonishing; after all, this was a world of love-brains, where everyone possessed at least some degree of it—it was just a matter of quantity. Hu Liena's martial soul was the Heavenly Fox, and foxes were known for their extreme loyalty to their mates; if one died, the other would not live alone.

Combining these two factors, it was understandable that Hu Liena's love-brain was so severe.

A wicked smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's lips. An unexpected joy.

He was, of course, not a man without morals. Since Bibi Dong had taken Hu Liena, a top genius of Martial Soul Hall, to study at a primary soul master academy, then so be it; it could be considered a lapse in supervision by Martial Soul Hall. He would let her stay by Bibi Dong's side.

However, since Hu Liena was from Martial Soul Hall, he would properly guide her love-brain attributes in the future, ensuring she repaid Bibi Dong's "kindness" well. He would also let Tang San experience the joy of having a love-brain teammate.
