"Ah Yin, it is time for you to make a choice."
"Will you let Tang Hao and Tang San die before your eyes, or will you let Tang Hao take Tang San and leave?"
"If the former, I shall kill Tang Hao and Tang San this instant and take you back to Martial Soul Hall."
"If the latter, then have Tang Hao sign this."
Facing Qian Xunji, who held the power of life and death over the three of them, Ah Yin could only remain silent despite the thousands of grievances in her heart.
She knew she lacked the strength to resist, and verbal abuse would only appear pale and powerless; yet, thinking of her child and her beloved Brother Hao, she understood she could not remain indifferent.
Ah Yin spoke up, urging, "Brother Hao, for the sake of our child, please just sign it."
"You and the child must be happy; you must live well."
Tang Hao's heart was bitter.
He had just become a father and was about to lose his wife, but if he did not agree, the child who had just entered the world would lose its life.
In the end, he helplessly agreed: "Fine, Qian Xunji, I agree to your terms."
"Excellent, I enjoy doing business with sensible people," Qian Xunji laughed. "Snake Lance Douluo, give the document to Tang Hao."
"As you wish, Your Holiness." Snake Lance Douluo walked toward Tang Hao and handed him the booklet and a pen.
Tang Hao took them without checking the contents and signed his name directly, for he already knew the terms of the transaction: to voluntarily sell Ah Yin to Qian Xunji for the price of two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins.
Snake Lance Douluo retrieved the booklet and pen from Tang Hao's hand and nodded at Qian Xunji.
"Snake Lance Douluo, since it is done, give the money to Tang Hao."
"One must always keep their word in business."
"As you wish, Your Holiness." Snake Lance Douluo handed the two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao took them, feeling infinite humiliation.
Qian Xunji handed Tang San, whom he had been holding, to another elder, instructing him to pass the child to Tang Hao.
Upon receiving Tang San, Tang Hao finally let out a sigh of relief, but he spat out a harsh threat: "Qian Xunji, the way you took Ah Yin from my hands is the same way I will take her back."
"Ah Yin, wait for me. I will definitely bring you back to my side."
"Mm, Brother Hao, I believe in you," Ah Yin nodded heavily, though she held no real hope in her heart.
Qian Xunji was not angered and teased, "Tang Hao, if you want to take Ah Yin back, you had better hurry, or else Ah Yin's belly will only grow larger by the day."
"Alright, Ah Yin, my little pet, it is time for us to go back and produce a healthy baby boy." Without giving Ah Yin a chance to agree, Qian Xunji grabbed her and turned to leave the Star Dou Forest.
Damn you, Qian Xunji, just you wait. One day, I will make you pay a hundredfold for the humiliation you have dealt me today. I will make you kneel and beg me; I will make you wish for death but be unable to die!
Tang Hao's heart was filled with hatred!
He had lost his beloved!
Especially at the thought of Ah Yin bearing a child for Qian Xunji, his heart ached even more.
Qian Xunji sensed Tang Hao's agony and pulled Ah Yin into his arms, inhaling her fragrance as he mocked, "Ah Yin, you smell so sweet!"
His voice was not loud, but Tang Hao could certainly hear it.
Ah, Qian Xunji, you go too far!
You just wait!
I, Tang Hao, will one day make you wish for death but be unable to die!
Just you wait, Qian Xunji!
If I do not achieve this goal in this lifetime, I would rather never be reincarnated after death!
Tang Hao could only rage impotently in his heart, swearing the most vicious of oaths.
Hmm, something is amiss!
Having walked only two or three meters while holding Ah Yin, Qian Xunji suddenly stopped in his tracks. He whipped his head around to look at Tang Hao and the infant Tang San in his arms.
Tang Hao's heart tightened. Does Qian Xunji know about the oath I swore in my heart? Is he going to silence me?
He hurriedly said, "Qian Xunji, did you not promise me? Did you not promise Ah Yin?"
"As long as I sold Ah Yin to you, you would let our father and son leave safely. Do you intend to go back on your word?"
"You are the Pope of Martial Soul Hall; do you intend to be a man without honor?"
Ah Yin was also nervous. She said with some indignation, "Qian Xunji, you cannot break your word. I have complied with everything you asked; what more do you want?"
Qian Xunji took the opportunity to reply, "Ah Yin, but I feel you aren't being proactive at all. It would be better if you were a bit more active."
"What exactly do you want?" Ah Yin asked once more.
Qian Xunji whispered into Ah Yin's ear and set her down.
Everything is for Brother Hao, for Little San, Ah Yin chanted in her heart as she stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Qian Xunji.
Ah, Qian Xunji, you bully me too much!
Tang Hao felt as if his heart were bleeding.
In truth, Qian Xunji's attention had never been on Tang Hao, but on Tang San.
The only reason he had let Ah Yin kiss him was to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.
As he savored Ah Yin's sweetness, he pondered: Was it an illusion?
No, it certainly wasn't.
After all, that is how I arrived here!
Soul transmigration.
I was brought here by a System.
Tang San has no System, nor any other mysterious power; he is undoubtedly from those fellows in the heavens.
It seems the conclusion I reached earlier must be overturned once again.
Tang San truly is the Child of Destiny.
This Tang San is not the Tang San who transmigrated from another world, but the original Tang San of the Douluo Continent.
When Ah Yin sacrificed herself, although she preserved Tang San's body, she failed to preserve his soul, which gave those fellows in the heavens an opportunity to exploit.
However, the situation is different now.
With two souls coexisting in one body, who will be the one to survive in the end?
Things are becoming increasingly interesting.
Qian Xunji pulled away from Ah Yin.
Ah Yin's eyes were clouded with a hint of bewilderment.
"Ah Yin, you were really going for it!"
Ah Yin was overcome with shame; she had never experienced anything like this before. Even if it were just a simple kiss, compared to Qian Xunji, Brother Hao was like a block of wood.
No!
Ah Yin, what are you thinking!
I must never betray Brother Hao.
Ah Yin's shame instantly turned into coldness.
"My little pet is truly quite adorable," Qian Xunji teased as he led Ah Yin away.
Truly a depraved taste that even a god would find shameful!
I actually thought you had discovered my little maneuver!
But thinking about it, that makes sense; you are not a deity after all, so how could you possibly detect my subtle actions.
Asura finally withdrew his gaze.
Meanwhile, inside Tang San's body, an interesting scene was unfolding.
Did I not die to prove my resolve?
How am I alive again?
And who is this little runt?
There seems to be a sentence in my mind.
"When Tang San awakens his Martial Soul at age six, devour him, and you shall obtain everything he possesses."
Tang San?
Am I not Tang San myself?
Star Dou Forest, outer perimeter.
Qian Xunji, along with Ah Yin and the six elders, had already departed from the Star Dou Forest.
Tang Hao finally let out a genuine sigh of relief.
At the very least, he had survived for now.
Revenge can wait for another day.
But without Ah Yin, where should I go from here?
For a moment, Tang Hao fell into an unprecedented state of confusion. Looking at the Tang San in his arms, he thought: Perhaps I should provide Little San with a better environment to survive.
