Uncle Cao

Tang Hao turned to rush out, but Tang Yuehua blocked his path.

"Second Brother, Sister-in-law went of her own free will. Your fate has reached its end; let it go!"

Tang Hao glared at her, his eyes bloodshot. "You just said you didn't know Ah Yin's whereabouts! And yet, she was here with you all along! Is this how you deceive your Second Brother?"

Tang Yuehua's expression remained unchanged. "I did it for your own good."

"What is so great about that Brother Cao!" Tang Hao roared. "He has you all bewitched! What kind of love potion did he feed you?!"

"Brother Cao's greatness is not something ordinary men like you can comprehend. He is a truly magnificent man."

Before the words had even faded, she activated a Teleportation Talisman and vanished before Tang Hao's eyes.

Inside Yuexuan, only Tang Hao and his son Tang San remained, staring at each other in silence.

Tang Hao collapsed onto the floor, tears streaming down his face.

Tang San stood to the side, his face ashen, his fists clenched until they creaked.

After a long while, Tang San spoke slowly, his voice cold and bone-chilling. "Brother Cao... one day, I will make you pay the price."

First Xiao Wu, and now even Mother...

This was too much; he was being treated like a fool!

The hatred of having his wife stolen and his mother taken was an irreconcilable grudge!

Tang Hao did not respond. He simply stared blankly in the direction where Ah Yin had disappeared, muttering to himself, "Ah Yin... my Ah Yin..."

Ye Family Fortress.

Ye Lingling withdrew her gaze from the Sky Screen, her water-blue eyes fixed firmly on the man beside her who was leisurely sipping tea.

"Husband, you're quite the player, aren't you? Are all these human female spirit masters not enough for you?"

Cao Xiyu's hand, holding the teacup, paused slightly. He gave a dry laugh. "Heh, it's all the same. Once spirit beasts take human form, there's no difference; they all have two arms and two legs..."

"The same?" Ye Lingling sneered. "Then would you like me to turn into a rabbit tomorrow and play with you too?"

Cao Xiyu waved his hands hurriedly. "No, no need! My wife is perfect just as she is, truly!"

Xiao Wu, who was nearby, immediately leaned in and hooked her arm through Ye Lingling's, wearing a sweet smile.

"That's right, Sister. Once spirit beasts take human form, there really is no difference from humans. You can't be discriminatory! Even though I'm a rabbit, my skin is better than most human girls!"

Ye Lingling's mouth twitched slightly.

Was she helping her, or was she showing off?

Zhu Zhuyun held her teacup and spoke slowly. "Sister, you look so fierce. Unlike me, I only know how to care for Brother Cao."

Ye Lingling: "..."

She took a deep breath, suddenly regretting taking these two in.

One played the innocent, the other played the fragile; neither of them were easy to deal with.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao stared at the words "Ah Yin" on the Sky Screen, remaining silent for a long time.

Back in the day, both he and his brother had fallen in love with Ah Yin.

To fulfill his brother's wishes, he had voluntarily stepped aside, burying those feelings deep within his heart.

He never expected that, in the end, it would benefit that Brother Cao.

Even his little sister, Yuehua, had...

Tang Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Was this Brother Cao sent by the heavens to punish his Clear Sky Sect?

The Great Elder, however, had a different perspective.

His eyes darted around as he stroked his beard and spoke slowly. "Sect Master, this might actually be a good thing!"

Tang Xiao opened his eyes and glared at him. "A good thing? What the hell do you mean, a good thing?"

The Great Elder quickly replied, "Sect Master, think about it. Setting aside Ah Yin, Lady Yuehua is with Brother Cao, which means she is his person. Lady Yuehua is one of our own, and she has a good relationship with the sect. Doesn't that mean..."

He paused, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "We are now related to Brother Cao by marriage? Even if he doesn't give the Clear Sky Sect special treatment, he surely wouldn't dare to intentionally make things difficult for us, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other elders chimed in.

"The Great Elder is right!"

"That's true, Sect Master! That Brother Cao has heaven-defying strength; he even slapped a god-official to death. For our Clear Sky Sect to establish a connection with him is a tremendous blessing!"

"Lady Yuehua grew up under our eyes and has deep ties to the sect. Even if he doesn't respect the monks, he must respect the Buddha; he has to give us some face, right?"

Tang Xiao thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense, yet he still felt that something was off.

His Clear Sky Sect, the head of the Upper Three Sects and once the number one sect on the continent, was now relying on a woman's connections to seek protection?

Tang Xiao gave a bitter laugh and waved his hand. "Enough, enough. Things have reached this point; there is no use in saying more. Pass down the order: treat Yuehua with even greater respect. Also..."

He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "Keep a close watch on Brother Cao's movements. If there is anything he needs from the Clear Sky Sect... cooperate to the best of your ability."

The elders nodded in unison, their faces all revealing smiles of relief.

Ah Yin appearing on the ranking gave the many onlookers on the continent a massive sense of satisfaction.

"New formula! Sister-in-law and sister-in-law both on the Combat Power Ranking!"

"Clear Sky Douluo is so miserable, both his sister and wife have run off!"

"That guy named Tang San is the one who's truly miserable! His girlfriend and his mom were both snatched in one go!"

"First Xiao Wu, then Ah Yin, both are soul beasts in human form. Tsk tsk, Brother Cao has quite broad interests!"

"Just wait, there will definitely be more! I reckon this Combat Power Ranking will sooner or later turn into Brother Cao's Harem Ranking, just like the Genius Ranking!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that reward? Thousand-Lady Hundred-Change? That's a lethal weapon! Hehe!"

"Hehe! Is it what I think it is?"

"You bet, brother! You can change your body at will, which means you can have legs as long as you want, a waist as thin as you want, and as big of a..."

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"The joy of Brother Cao is something we can't even imagine!"

Lanba Academy.

Tang Hao and his son Tang San walked in, looking utterly dejected.

One was pale as a sheet, the other had a face dark as iron.

Yu Xiaogang pinched his fingers into an orchid gesture and minced over to greet them.

His powdered and rouged face was full of concern: "San, look on the bright side. It's not a bad thing for your mother to be with Brother Cao; it's equivalent to having an extra Uncle Cao as a backer! That's a being who can slap a god-official to death with one palm; how many people want to climb that tree but can't!"

Tang Hao's eyes turned red instantly. He snapped his head up, his gaze looking as if he wanted to eat someone alive: "Yu Xiaogang, are you speaking like a human? If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Yu Xiaogang shrieked in terror, darting behind Flender in one leap and pulling Flender tightly in front of him as a shield.

Flender looked at this former good brother—no, good sister—speechlessly, unable to bear the sight.

Not only was this guy's root gone, but his brain seemed to have vanished as well.

He could only step in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright. Xiaogang, you too, if you don't know how to talk, then don't!"

Tang San was also furious; this teacher was better off discarded!

Yet, Yu Xiaogang didn't feel he had said anything wrong.

He poked his head out from behind Flender and looked at Liu Erlong: "Erlong, you agree, right? We women should find a strong man to be our backer, the stronger the better!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong felt a wave of nausea churn in her stomach.

How could she have ever liked such a thing?

However... thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem wrong.

Wasn't she the same way?

Ever since she saw Brother Cao in her dreams and communicated with him, she had been completely conquered by Brother Cao's strength.

Brother Cao said he liked riding dragons, so she let him ride her every day.

This life was ten thousand times better than being with a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang!
