In the Name of Love, Bound by Emotion, Draining a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Dry

Ye Qing raised his hand and waved.

The void trembled slightly.

The water automatically parted in front of him, creating a gap.

Step behind the waterfall.

A hidden, damp cave suddenly appeared before them.

The cave was dark inside.

The air had an unpleasant, damp, musty smell.

In the crevice of the rock in the center of the cave.

A very withered Blue Silver Grass was drooping its leaves listlessly.

The grass blades, faintly tinged with golden veins, huddled listlessly in the shadows, as if they might wither away at any moment.

Inside the deepest part of the cave, nestled within the rock wall, lies a heavy stone box.

Ye Qing stepped forward and snatched the stone box from the ground.

Click.

The stone box was opened casually.

A vast and pure blue halo lit up.

The eerie blue light illuminated the entire dark cave, making it appear dreamlike and magical.

A right leg bone, sculpted like blue crystal and radiating a rich sense of life, lay quietly inside.

Ye Qing's eyes lit up. "Found it! The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!"

Successfully acquired the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Within Chaos World.

The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress stared intently at the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone.

Ice Empress asked with some doubt, "Ye Qing, where exactly did you get this information about the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone here?"

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is hidden behind a waterfall in this remote mountain village.

Even Titled Douluo might not notice it if they passed by.

Ye Qing handled it as casually as if he were retrieving something from his own backyard.

"Of course I have my own special channels." Ye Qing was very confident about this.

"On this continent, nothing can escape my eyes if I want to know something."

A hint of surprise flashed in Snow Empress's deep blue eyes.

She examined the Blue Silver Grass carefully.

"This Blue Silver Grass and this Soul Bone share the same origin."

"It should be a seedling grown from the seeds left behind by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after its death."

It's not uncommon in the Soul Beast Realm that a hundred thousand years old plant Soul Beast can regain its intelligence and be reborn by relying on seeds.

"But why is it trapped in this dark and sunless place?" Snow Empress's voice was cold, tinged with confusion.

"The worst thing for plant growth is dampness and lack of light."

"Planting it here is simply erasing its original essence."

Ye Qing leaned against the stone wall, admiring the smooth, jade-like Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone with his fingertips.

He glanced at the sickly Blue Silver Grass and slowly explained, "This Blue Silver Grass was originally Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, named Ah Yin."

"Back then, he transformed into human form and fell in love with a human Soul Master, namely the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao."

"Later, when he was driven to the brink by the Spirit Hall, he chose to sacrifice himself, giving his Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring to Tang Hao."

"Only this piece of Soul Bone and a reborn seedling remained."

Upon hearing this...

Ice Empress snorted coldly, "Foolish! Utterly foolish!"

Her words were full of disdain and disgust.

"A dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast king actually sacrificed himself for a human, offering up tens of thousands of years of cultivation with both hands. This is simply a disgrace to the Soul Beast Realm."

Snow Empress, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

She looked at the opened stone box, her tone slightly hesitant. "The human man didn't fuse with the Soul Bone after obtaining it."

"Perhaps he truly loved this Blue Silver Emperor plant and was unwilling to use the keepsake left by his lover?"

"Deep love?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing burst out laughing.

Laughter echoed through the empty cave, much of it sarcastic and mocking.

"Lord Snow Empress, you are still too naive. You simply don't understand the schemes of this old human fox."

"Today I'm going to give you a proper breakdown of what truly constitutes top-tier profit calculation."

Ye Qing extended her first finger.

They began to dissect the story of Ah Yin and Tang Hao, a relationship between a human and a beast.

"First, Tang Hao had already fused his right leg bone with his body back then."

"It's not that he doesn't want to fuse with this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it's that he simply can't."

"The saying goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' This Soul Bone is probably being kept to be transferred to my own son Tang San."

Ye Qing extended a second finger, pointing to the trembling Blue Silver Grass in the crevice.

"Secondly, Blue Silver Emperor is a plant, so what does it need most?"

"It is the abundant sunshine, the nourishment of rain and dew, and the nurturing of the essence of heaven and earth."

"If Tang Hao truly loved her, why would he stuff an extremely weak seedling in dire need of nutrition into this dark, damp, and sunless dead cave?"

"How can the Blue Silver Grass grow and recover when it hears the deafening roar of the waterfall every day and can't even see a ray of sunlight?"

Ye Qing pointed to the cold, damp rock walls around them.

"This is not called devoted waiting."

"This is called 'hiding under tight security,' it's imprisonment."

"To put it bluntly, he'll bring his son Tang San over to acknowledge their relationship when he grows up."

"Let's stage a scene of a loving father and son rekindling maternal love, and incidentally get Tang San to accept this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"Complete family-style moral blackmail."

"Let Ah Yin serve the Tang Family for the rest of her life."

In the crevice of the rock, the sickly Blue Silver Grass trembled.

The golden veins on the blades of grass shimmered with an uneasy light, as if they understood Ye Qing's words.

Within the Chaos World, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were utterly shocked.

"Hiss!" Ice Empress gasped, and the scorpion's body trembled.

"Under the guise of love, they drained the lifeblood of Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Soul Bone."

"Even the newly sprouted seedlings are being used as tools for emotional blackmail."

"Could the human mind really be this insidious?"

Her eyes blazed with fury. "Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!"

"Fortunately, I didn't go to the human world."

"This is even colder than the millennia-old glaciers of the Far North."

The Snow Empress remained silent for Jiujiu.

His cold face was covered with frost.

Clearly, their values and worldview were greatly impacted.

"Using affection as a rope and love as a lock, we will completely devour the Soul Beast."

"Human scheming... is truly chilling."

Snow Empress sighed softly.

A hint of pity crept into his eyes as he looked at the Blue Silver Grass.

"Poor Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, believed it had found true love until its death, only to fall into a trap carefully woven by humans."

She then thought of what Ye Qing had been doing these past few days, which was aimed at Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu is also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.

And Tang San seems to be Tang Hao's son.

This... is actually a method of exploiting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast passed down through generations!

That's truly terrifying!

Ye Qing put away the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and turned to look at the withered Blue Silver Grass.

He snapped his fingers.

A gentle aura of chaos enveloped the Blue Silver Grass, taking it, roots and all, directly into the Chaos World.

"Since Tang Hao doesn't know how to grow grass..."

"Then I'll take this Blue Silver Grass with me as an ornamental potted plant."

Tang Hao thought that planting the grass here would be foolproof.

"When he brings Tang San here next time and sees the empty stone box and the bare cracks in the rocks, I wonder how interesting his expression will be."

Ye Qing's lips curled into a wicked smile.
