Ah Yin, You Smell So Good

"Ah Yin, it's time for you to make a choice."

"Do you want Tang Hao and Tang San to die before your eyes, or do you want Tang Hao to leave with Tang San?"

"If it's the former, I'll kill Tang Hao and Tang San this instant and take you back to Spirit Hall."

"If it's the latter, have Tang Hao sign this."

Facing Qian Xunji, who held all three of their lives in his hands, Ah Yin could only remain silent, no matter how much resentment filled her heart.

She knew she had no power to resist, and insults would be so feeble and futile. But when she thought of her child, and of the Hao Ge she loved most, she knew she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

Ah Yin urged him, "Hao Ge, for our child's sake, just sign it."

"You and our child have to be happy. You have to live well."

Tang Hao was in agony.

He had only just become a father, and already he was about to lose his wife. But if he refused, the child who had only just come into the world would lose his life.

In the end, he agreed helplessly. "Fine, Qian Xunji. I agree."

"Excellent. I like doing business with people who know what's good for them." Qian Xunji smiled. "Snake Lance Douluo, give Tang Hao the documents."

"Right away, Your Holiness the Pope." Snake Lance Douluo walked over to Tang Hao and handed him the book and a pen.

Tang Hao took them. He didn't bother reading the terms and signed his name directly, because he already knew what the deal said: he was voluntarily selling Ah Yin to Qian Xunji for two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins.

Snake Lance Douluo took the book and pen from Tang Hao and nodded to Qian Xunji.

"Snake Lance Douluo, now that it's done, give Tang Hao the money."

"Business still has to be conducted honestly."

"Right away, Your Holiness the Pope." Snake Lance Douluo gave Tang Hao two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins.

Tang Hao took them, humiliation surging through him.

Qian Xunji handed Tang San to another elder and had him give the child to Tang Hao.

With Tang San back in his arms, Tang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He left them with a threat. "Qian Xunji, however you took Ah Yin from me, I'll take her back the same way."

"Ah Yin, wait for me. I'll make sure you return to my side."

"Mm, Hao Ge. I believe you." Ah Yin nodded firmly, though she didn't really have any hope.

Qian Xunji wasn't angry. He teased, "Tang Hao, if you want Ah Yin back, you'd better hurry. Otherwise, her belly will only keep growing."

"Come on, Ah Yin, my little pet. It's time to go back and have a big, healthy baby." Without giving Ah Yin a chance to agree, Qian Xunji took her by the hand and turned to leave Star Dou Forest.

Damn you, Qian Xunji. Just you wait. One day, I'll make you repay a hundredfold for the humiliation you've dealt me today. I'll make you kneel and beg me. I'll make you wish you were dead, yet unable to die!

Tang Hao seethed with hatred.

He had lost the love of his life!

The thought of Ah Yin bearing Qian Xunji a big, healthy baby hurt him even more.

Sensing Tang Hao's anguish, Qian Xunji pulled Ah Yin into his arms and breathed in her fragrance, teasing, "Ah Yin, you smell so good!"

His voice wasn't loud, but Tang Hao could definitely hear him.

Ah! Qian Xunji, you've gone too far!

Just you wait!

One day, I, Tang Hao, will make you wish you were dead, yet unable to die!

Just you wait, Qian Xunji!

If I don't achieve my goal in this life, I'd rather never be reborn after death!

Tang Hao could only rage helplessly in his heart and swear the cruelest of oaths.

Mm, something's up!

After carrying Ah Yin just two or three meters, Qian Xunji suddenly stopped. He whipped around to look at Tang Hao and the Tang San in his arms.

Tang Hao's heart tightened. Had Qian Xunji sensed the oath he'd made in his mind and decided to kill him to silence him?

He hurriedly said, "Qian Xunji, didn't you promise me? Didn't you promise Ah Yin?"

"You said you'd let us, father and son, leave unharmed if I sold Ah Yin to you. Are you going back on your word?"

"You're the pope of Spirit Hall. Are you really going to break your promise?"

Ah Yin was nervous too. Somewhat indignant, she said, "Qian Xunji, you can't go back on your word. I've done everything you asked. What more do you want?"

Qian Xunji took the opportunity to reply, "Ah Yin, I feel like you haven't been very enthusiastic. It'd be nice if you were a little more proactive."

"What exactly do you want?" Ah Yin asked again.

Qian Xunji whispered something in Ah Yin's ear and set her down.

It's all for Hao Ge, for Xiao San. Ah Yin repeated the thought to herself, rose onto her toes, and took the initiative to kiss Qian Xunji.

Ah! Qian Xunji, you've gone too far!

Tang Hao felt his heart bleed.

In truth, Qian Xunji's attention had never been on Tang Hao. It had been on Tang San.

He had only made Ah Yin kiss him to throw everyone off.

As he savored Ah Yin's sweetness, he wondered: Was that just my imagination?

No. It couldn't have been.

After all, this is how I got here!

My soul crossed over.

The system brought me here.

Tang San has no system or other mysterious power. It must be that guy from the heavens.

Looks like I'll have to overturn my earlier conclusion once again.

Tang San really is the child of destiny.

This Tang San isn't the Tang San who crossed over from another world. He's the original Tang San of Douluo Continent.

When Ah Yin sacrificed herself, she saved Tang San's body but not his soul. That gave the guy from the heavens a chance to take advantage.

But things are different now.

Two souls sharing one body. Which one will survive in the end?

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Qian Xunji pulled away from Ah Yin.

Her eyes were a little hazy.

"Ah Yin, you really meant it!"

For a moment, Ah Yin was so ashamed she didn't know where to look. She had never experienced anything like that. Even though it had only been a simple kiss, compared to Qian Xunji, Hao Ge was like a block of wood.

No!

Ah Yin, what are you thinking?

You absolutely cannot betray Hao Ge.

Ah Yin's shame instantly turned to ice.

"My little pet is quite adorable." Qian Xunji teased as he led Ah Yin away.

What a shameful little amusement, even for a god!

I thought you'd noticed my little trick!

But then, that made sense. You aren't a Deity, after all. How could you possibly notice my little trick?

Asura finally looked away.

Meanwhile, something interesting was happening inside Tang San as well.

Didn't I prove my resolve by dying?

How am I alive again?

And who's this little guy?

There seems to be a sentence in my mind.

When Tang San awakens his Martial Soul at the age of six, devour him, and you'll gain everything he has.

Tang San?

Am I not Tang San?

The outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

Qian Xunji, Ah Yin, and the six elders had already left Star Dou Forest.

Tang Hao finally breathed a genuine sigh of relief.

At least he was still alive for now.

He could worry about revenge later.

But with Ah Yin gone, where was he supposed to go now?

For the first time, Tang Hao was at a complete loss. Looking at Tang San in his arms, he thought, Maybe I should find Xiao San a better place to grow up.
