Tang San now knew that the soul skills gained from Soul Rings were largely random.

He liked to gamble,

but he did not like taking reckless risks.

Compared to an uncertain fifth soul skill, Blue Silver Array-Breaking Kill was clearly the better choice.

It even made up for his weakness in long-range attacks.

"Uncle, that move of yours is amazing!"

"My fifth soul skill should be fixed as that move too."

Tang San's eyes shone as he made his decision on the spot.

"It's too early to decide now. Wait until you have five rings."

Yin Chuan did not agree immediately, instead giving Tang San ample time to think it over.

He turned to Xiao Wu again.

"If there's no soul bone, forget about it."

"Ghost Tiger aura still lingers here. You can rest without worrying about being disturbed by soul beasts."

After giving them a few instructions,

Yin Chuan sat down cross-legged again and began regulating his Soul Power.

Tang San followed his example, sitting cross-legged beside Yin Chuan to meditate and replenish his Soul Power.

As for Xiao Wu,

she obediently picked up several Ghost Tiger legs and began roasting them.

This had also been Yin Chuan's requirement.

If Xiao Wu wanted to travel with the uncle and nephew, she had to cook and take care of Tang San's meals.

Take care of Tang San's meals?

Xiao Wu had nearly been scared into running away. Cooking for an eating machine like Tang San would exhaust her to death, wouldn't it?

Yet she still gritted her teeth and stayed.

Wasn't it just cooking for Tang San?

What was there for her to be afraid of?

Little chef Sister Xiao Wu would stuff Tang San until he burst!

After the uncle and nephew recovered their Soul Power through meditation, Xiao Wu had also finished preparing the Ghost Tiger meat. Everyone was delighted.

"Thanks, Sister Xiao Wu."

Tang San still waited for Yin Chuan to take the first bite. Only after Yin Chuan ate did he stop holding back and begin devouring the food.

Before long,

more than half the Ghost Tiger had gone into Tang San's stomach, yet he was still unsatisfied. He was only half full.

"Ugh, Sister Xiao Wu has become a cook."

Xiao Wu's resentful gaze bored into Yin Chuan's back.

That cold, heartless guy!

He actually made her cook for the bottomless pit Tang San!

And Tang San was such a huge eater. The uncle and nephew were both bullying her!

"It tastes good."

Yin Chuan ate a little at an unhurried pace and praised her.

"Really?"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears immediately perked up in delight.

That cold guy actually knew how to compliment someone?

"Let's go. Time to set off."

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Yin Chuan planned to resume their journey.

"No way. You two rested, but I didn't. Just cooking nearly exhausted me. I can't walk another step now."

"I'm the cook. You won't leave me behind, will you?"

Xiao Wu looked pitifully at Yin Chuan, but he remained completely unmoved.

Her eyes darted around,

and she looked at Tang San.

"Little San, will you carry me?"

That cold guy ignored her entirely, so she could only turn to the more agreeable Tang San.

"Uh... all right."

Tang San hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

He possessed the Golden Dragon King's power and trained with a great spear. Xiao Wu's weight was nothing to him.

More importantly, Tang San did not want Xiao Wu to delay his return home to see his mother.

"Yay!"

Having gained a free mount, Xiao Wu jumped three feet into the air.

Yin Chuan said nothing either.

Xiao Wu might be a little foolish, but she could sacrifice herself and had a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and soul bone.

Besides, the Good Uncle System might have missions involving Xiao Wu later on.

Another week passed before Yin Chuan and Tang San finally returned to Blue Silver Forest,

returned home.

The rich aura of life left them both feeling refreshed.

"Is this your home?"

"There's so much Blue Silver Grass!"

Xiao Wu wandered around Blue Silver Forest curiously.

Neither Yin Chuan nor Tang San was in the mood to pay attention to her.

"Mom!"

Tang San rushed into the depths of Blue Silver Forest, unable to wait to return to his mother's embrace.

But he ran into the ill-fated Tang Hao...

"Little San..."

After Yin Chuan had scolded him last time, Tang Hao had begun paying attention to his appearance and looked much neater.

The change in his bearing was especially obvious.

He had once been despondent and lifeless.

Now, he seemed reborn—sunny, energetic, and full of drive.

"Dad..."

Tang San said awkwardly and with some difficulty.

After spending so long with his uncle,

he no longer lacked love.

As far as Tang Hao was concerned, all he had were those painful childhood memories and those cold, heartless eyes.

Just a biological father...

"Ah, your mother's condition has improved a little. You two should talk."

Tang Hao's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he walked away dejectedly.

He did not disturb Tang San and Ah Yin.

As a father and husband, he had been a complete bastard. When he grew old and weak, his standing in the family would be lower than a dog's.

Tang Hao was in exactly that situation now.

The sensible Tang San had already begun growing up, and there was also his strict little brother-in-law, Yin Chuan. He had to keep his tail tucked and watch his wife and son's expressions.

"Mom!"

Tang San came before Ah Yin, tears spilling uncontrollably from his eyes.

Men did not shed tears easily, unless they had reached the point of true sorrow.

As a son,

how could he not grieve when his mother had been planted in the ground?

Ah Yin's condition had improved somewhat, but not by much. She was still at the level of a thousand-year soul beast.

She possessed a little intelligence,

but could no longer communicate through spiritual power.

Her branches and leaves moved more like instinct, gently stroking Tang San's forehead.

The motion was clumsy, but Tang San was deeply content and enjoyed it immensely.

"Sis, this was bestowed by Lord. You'll wake up soon."

Yin Chuan came before Ah Yin and Tang San and took out the Gold of Life.

The incomparably rich aura of life immediately bathed Ah Yin, making her lush and verdant.

Longing also appeared in Tang San's eyes.

He instinctively sensed that the Gold of Life was something precious. His body craved it.

But his uncle was giving it to his mother. Tang San absolutely could not covet it, so he forcibly suppressed that urge.

"Sis."

Yin Chuan placed the Gold of Life upon Ah Yin's roots.

At once,

Ah Yin began growing wildly. A great number of roots burst from the soil and, like earthworms, wrapped around the Gold of Life and dragged it underground.

Streams of pure life aura were absorbed by Ah Yin's roots.

Even her branches and leaves were dyed with a layer of green.

Yin Chuan and Tang San could see with their naked eyes that life energy was flowing from Ah Yin's roots throughout her entire body.

In just a few breaths,

Ah Yin's size expanded nearly tenfold, becoming almost absurdly luxuriant.

"Little San, your mother is now a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass."

"It won't be long before she is fully revived."

"The Gold of Life contains immense energy. Your mother cannot absorb it all, and it would be a pity for the excess energy to dissipate."

"The two of us should seize the time to meditate and cultivate, absorbing the aura of the Gold of Life."

Yin Chuan pulled Tang San down to cultivate.

With the Gold of Life here,

the area around Ah Yin was the finest cultivation sanctuary. Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort!

Even though Blue Silver Tyrant Spear now possessed an ultimate attribute,

Yin Chuan would no longer be troubled by the difficult cultivation before rank 70.

"Okay, Uncle."

Tang San was also deeply tempted and eagerly began cultivating with the energy of the Gold of Life.

He sighed inwardly.

Uncle really was the MVP!

His mother had fallen, his father had become despondent, no one had cared for him, and the Golden Dragon King inside him was a ticking time bomb.

It was Uncle who had single-handedly turned everything around!
