A Moved Tang San, Excited Hands

Meng Yiran froze where she stood, staring dumbfoundedly at Lin Hao as she questioned, "Are you really willing to give it up? You'd better not regret it."

Lin Hao said helplessly, "Tang San may be a stranger to you, but to me, he is my sworn second brother. Miss Meng, are you willing to accept my compensation and stop making things difficult for my second brother?"

Without a second thought, Meng Yiran reached out and snatched the jade bottle from Lin Hao's hand. Looking at the nearly hundred pills inside, she said happily, "Fine, fine. The Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring is his!"

Lin Hao looked toward Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang.

Meng Shu stroked his beard with a smile. "Since Yiran herself has no objections, this old man has none either. Tang San, this is the last time."

"Understood, Senior." Tang San clasped his fists toward Meng Shu, then walked to Lin Hao's side and said quietly, guilt coloring his voice, "Big Brother, I..."

Big Brother!

Ever since they had sworn brotherhood, Tang San had called Lin Hao by name both in public and private. This was the first time he had heard Tang San call him Big Brother.

Lin Hao smiled and patted Tang San on the shoulder. It was only a bottle of pills. It was worth it. This was exactly the result he wanted.

Even if Lin Hao had not intervened, Meng Shu ultimately would not have stopped Tang San from absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring.

The reason was that Lin Hao wanted to make his presence felt.

Tang San was in trouble now.

Help in times of need was more precious than icing on the cake.

Lin Hao knew that helping Tang San at this moment would earn him a huge amount of goodwill.

Sure enough, Tang San had called him Big Brother.

Before transmigrating, Lin Hao had held a different view of Tang San.

Lin Hao believed Tang San was an ordinary man.

He had selfish desires, pride, competitiveness, and a desire to become strong... That was what made him ordinary.

Aside from the flaws of an ordinary man that people criticized, Tang San was not without merits.

First, deep down, he possessed a sense of honor and shame.

For example, after his theft of Tang Sect Secret Arts was exposed, he chose to jump from a cliff to prove his resolve. Although he had secretly learned the Tang Sect Secret Arts, he had not spread them to others. Instead, he had secretly relied on those arts to protect the Tang Sect and kill the petty villains who invaded it.

For someone like that, as long as he was properly guided, it was not impossible to fill his heart with justice and correct his values.

To put it bluntly, he needed to genuinely treat him well.

At the very least, Tang San needed to feel that he was being treated sincerely.

Even if it was an act, he had to act as though Tang San truly was his brother.

Zhao Wuji urged, "Tang San, go absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring!"

Tang San nodded. Just as he was about to walk toward the Man Faced Demon Spider, Lin Hao stopped him.

Tang San looked at Lin Hao in confusion.

Lin Hao looked toward Meng Shu and said, "Seniors, Miss Meng, you still need to find a Soul Beast for Miss Meng. We won't keep you any longer!"

The implication was clear: Lin Hao was asking them to leave.

Meng Shu did not take offense. Lin Hao's words were reasonable enough.

Only after Meng Shu had gone far away did Tang San ask in confusion, "Big Brother, why did you deliberately make them leave? Miss Meng already accepted the compensation you gave on my behalf!"

Lin Hao deliberately paused, swept his gaze over everyone present, and said, "Since we are all family, I won't hide it anymore. This Man Faced Demon Spider is two thousand years old!"

"What?" Oscar stared in disbelief. "Doesn't that mean all your efforts were for nothing? Tang San still can't absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring!"

"Don't worry. It has just reached two thousand years. With Tang San's physical toughness, he can absorb its Spirit Ring. It's just that..."

"Just what? Hurry up and say it."

"It's just that..." Lin Hao looked at Tang San and continued, "Based on my judgment, Tang San has a ninety percent chance of obtaining an External Soul Bone from it!"

"An External Soul Bone?"

"An External Soul Bone?"

Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming cried out in shock.

He said there was only a ninety percent chance to leave himself some room, lest others think Lin Hao was even more of a monster.

Tang San understood Lin Hao's meaning and analyzed, "So that is why you made Meng Shu and the others leave. You wanted to prevent them from developing murderous intentions again if I happened to obtain an External Soul Bone, right?"

"Mm." Lin Hao nodded.

"Big... Brother..." Tang San's eyes were full of emotion, mist clouding them.

Even at a time like this, Lin Hao was still thinking of Tang San.

How precious was an External Soul Bone?

On the Spirit Master Dream Rankings, it ranked second only to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

If Meng Shu had truly seen Tang San obtain an External Soul Bone, then Meng Shu would definitely have killed him to seize the treasure.

Lin Hao secretly felt pleased. He could feel Tang San leaning even more toward him.

Tang San was so moved that he was about to cry. That was only natural.

He had lived two lives. In his previous life, he had been an orphan. In this life, having family was no different from having none.

Whether during his days in the Tang Sect of the martial world or now in the Douluo World, he had never enjoyed the warmth of family.

That was also indirectly why his heart had become twisted.

But Lin Hao's brotherly affection was like sweet rain after a long drought, nourishing the emptiness in Tang San's heart that yearned for family.

Lin Hao gently patted Tang San on the shoulder and smiled. "We are brothers. Don't cry like that. Go absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring!"

"Mm." Tang San nodded, then suddenly said anxiously, "Big Brother, Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Giant Ape!"

Lin Hao smiled and lied, "Don't panic. I once told Xiao Wu's fortune. She will not suffer a bloody calamity before she turns nineteen. This time, she will not die either!"

"Big Brother, it's Xiao Wu. You can't joke about something like this!" Tang San urged anxiously.

"I'm not joking. I really did tell Xiao Wu's fortune! She will only encounter a bloody calamity when she is nineteen. Before then, every danger will pass without real harm!" Lin Hao declared with absolute certainty.

Tang San thought of the pills Lin Hao possessed, then recalled that in the martial world there were frauds who told fortunes, as well as truly capable divine fortune-tellers. He believed three parts of Lin Hao's words.

He thought that perhaps Lin Hao really did possess the ability to tell fortunes!

PS: Let me explain once again: this book will not flatter Tang San.

Any plot point involving helping Tang San is laying the groundwork for later developments.

This book will torment Tang San from another angle. A completely new angle. It will make the story more compelling.

Some readers have probably already caught a whiff of this new way of "tormenting Tang San" from this chapter.

Besides "tormenting Tang San," this book will also torment the God of War and torment Hao.

Lastly, I would like to recommend a few books of the same type to readers looking for something to read.

The first is a system novel. As long as one envies others, one can become stronger. Its title is: Douluo: My System Is Disobedient Again.

The second is a Blue Silver Grass novel. Its title is: Douluo: Life Blue Silver Grass, Immortality.

The third is a Evil Fire Phoenix novel. Its title is: <Douluo: Phoenix Descends Upon Nine Heavens, Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea>.
