Good thing I have Uncle...

Tang San's birth family was simply a complete mess.

Fortunately, Uncle had carried him.

Without Uncle, he simply did not dare imagine how miserable this family would have become...

Tang San really wanted to sing a song:

"Who was it that brought you into this world~"

"Who gave you food and clothes..."

He sat beside Uncle, absorbing the Gold of Life and feeling that domineering yet reassuring aura.

Mother was beside them too.

An unprecedented sense of security enveloped Tang San.

His soul, adrift through two lifetimes, found its shelter at this moment.

Tang San felt that this was where he belonged.

Another two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Blue Silver Forest, untouched by worldly strife,

a small table had been set up.

Xiao Wu, the little cook, busily brought dish after dish of sumptuous food to the table.

"It smells so good!"

Tang Hao sniffed the air and eagerly reached for a serving of Mysterious Turtle Scrambled Eggs.

Smack!

The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear flashed out.

It directly knocked the chopsticks from Tang Hao's hand.

"Dad, my uncle hasn't even picked up his chopsticks yet!"

Holding the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, Tang San looked at Tang Hao in displeasure.

Haozi, who do you think you are?

How dare you start eating first?

Until Uncle started eating, no one was allowed to eat!

Under the influence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, martial training, and his martial soul, Tang San had now grown beyond six feet tall.

His muscles were lean and powerful, while his features had begun to take shape.

That single Blue Silver Tyrant Spear strike made Tang Hao's fingers ache.

"Hehe, it just smelled too good. Dad didn't notice."

Tang Hao scratched his head apologetically.

"Don't let it happen again."

Tang San snorted, turning his head aside and ignoring Tang Hao.

Instead, he enthusiastically called out to Yin Chuan:

"Uncle, dinner's ready!"

That change in attitude made Tang Hao's heart ache.

But what could he do?

Back then, he had treated Tang San far too poorly.

Then his uncle had come to take the child away and raised him into a super genius who had reached level 35 at the age of twelve.

Tang Hao regretted it.

But it was already too late. None of this had anything to do with him anymore.

"Alright, Little San."

A response came from the Blue Silver Forest, followed by two white gusts rushing in from afar.

A man and a dog.

At the front was Yin Chuan, blue-haired and dressed in white.

At seventeen, he had grown past six feet three. Tall and slender, he looked like a perfectly modeled anime character with nine-head proportions.

His face had become even more handsome, flawless beyond criticism.

Behind him was a spirited white slender hound. Its body was sleek and lean, its gaze lively, and it moved incredibly fast as it closely followed Yin Chuan.

Over those two and a half years,

through the residual effects of the Gold of Life, Yin Chuan had endured the suppression of his ultimate attributes and raised his Soul Power from level 58 to level 67.

He had also completed the task of helping Tang San obtain his third Soul Ring.

In return, he received the system's Howling Celestial Dog.

Using heavenly treasures, he had raised Howling Celestial Dog's cultivation to three thousand years.

Howling Celestial Dog's name had been given by Tang San.

When Tang San first saw that slender hound soul beast, he immediately thought of Erlang Shen's Howling Celestial Dog.

So Tang San suggested that Yin Chuan name the dog Howling Celestial Dog, and Yin Chuan gladly accepted.

"Little San, why insist on waiting for me? If I'm not here, what's wrong with you eating first?"

Yin Chuan unceremoniously sat in the seat of honor.

Out here in the wilderness, of course he would not be bored enough to fuss over seating arrangements.

Tang San was the one responsible for such trivial matters.

Tang San had set up a large table and a seat of honor, placing Yin Chuan in the most respected position.

Ordinary meals were one thing, but sometimes Tang San would even kneel and offer Yin Chuan tea.

"Uncle, would it be proper for us to eat without calling you?"

"If you don't eat first, could Little San eat in peace? Little San would rather starve himself to death."

Tang San said with a smile.

Smack!

Suddenly, Tang San's expression changed. He drew the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear again and knocked the chopsticks from Tang Hao's hand.

"Dad, don't be in such a hurry."

Tang San's face was expressionless.

"Little San, what is this for now?"

"Your uncle has already started eating."

Tang Hao picked up his chopsticks with a bitter smile.

"When eating, there must be rules."

Tang San did not look at Tang Hao. Instead, he selected some food from the table.

He fed it to Howling Celestial Dog.

"Woof, woof—"

Howling Celestial Dog happily tore into the food in huge bites.

"Dad, please help yourself."

Only after feeding the dog did Tang San indicate that Tang Hao could eat.

Hmph.

Yin Chuan had started eating, sure, but Yin Chuan's dog, Howling Celestial Dog—my Uncle Dog—hadn't eaten yet!

Was it your turn, Haozi?

"This..."

Tang Hao felt utterly humiliated.

Previously,

the hierarchy in this household had been Yin Chuan greater than or equal to Ah Yin, greater than Tang San, greater than Xiao Wu, greater than him.

But ever since Yin Chuan had brought Howling Celestial Dog home half a year ago,

Howling Celestial Dog's status had risen above his.

In Tang San's eyes, his uncle's battle pet was more important than his own biological father!

Tang Hao had no way to voice his suffering.

But he had wronged his son too deeply, and this situation was simply the consequence of his own actions.

With the mindset of atoning by punishing himself,

Tang Hao bitterly swallowed mouthful after mouthful of tears.

"You all eat up."

Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead, served herself some pieced-together leftovers, and squatted in the kitchen to eat.

Her situation with Tang San was basically clear.

And as a staunch feudalism warrior,

when he ate with his respected uncle, forget his woman—even his biological father had to step aside! (There would be a reversal later.)

Originally, Xiao Wu had given Tang San familial love, friendship, and love. She had been Tang San's entire world.

But now,

Yin Chuan had given him even more!

With Uncle around, Tang San naturally would not let a woman become too presumptuous.

All that remained for Xiao Wu was strict feudalism.

"Sigh..."

Tang Hao sighed, carried his bowl to the doorway, and squatted down to eat.

Only Yin Chuan and Tang San, uncle and nephew, remained at the dining table.

Neither of them spoke.

Yin Chuan ate elegantly.

Tang San wolfed down his food. The Golden Dragon King was in the midst of growing, and before long, an entire table of food had gone into Tang San's stomach.

After the meal,

Xiao Wu came over to collect the dishes and wash them.

"Uncle, what do we do next?"

With flickering eyes, Tang San asked Yin Chuan about their next move.

"I'll take you and Xiao Wu to school."

"This Blue Silver Forest is deserted. You're both in the prime of youth; you can't waste your years here."

Yin Chuan stroked Howling Celestial Dog.

Howling Celestial Dog transformed into a streak of white light, becoming a dog-head jade pendant that hung from his waist.

The Main Quest was to take Tang San to Shrek.

The reward was excellent.

The final spear of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears, the hidden divine counterkill skill, Horse-Turning Spear!

The more unfavorable the situation, the greater its power?

Shrek was definitely worth going to.
