Jian'an Spirit, Wei Wu's Legacy

Xiao Wu crouched on the ground, her two rabbit ears standing up in a V-shape out of indignation.

"If the story the Boss told isn't exaggerated, this Tang Hao is simply the number one scumbag on the Douluo Continent!"

"Setting aside the facts, to even scheme against his own wife—is that something a human would do? Ugh, disgusting!"

Xiao Wu's brain hadn't followed Tang San's lead, so her intelligence was clearly occupying the high ground.

What a classic case of "setting aside the facts."

Su Chen looked at Xiao Wu in surprise; her logic was flawless.

"Wait, Boss, who did you say A Yin gave birth to?"

A bolt of lightning flashed through Xiao Wu's mind.

"Tang San!"

"Is it the same Tang San we know?"

Su Chen was speechless. "Who else could it be?"

Upon hearing the confirmation, Xiao Wu's intelligence once again seized the high ground.

Tang San was Tang Hao's son, and Tang Hao had discovered her long ago; didn't that mean she was just a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit bone delivered right to his doorstep?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's scalp went numb.

Fortunately, she had Su Chen's protection now, otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died!

Xiao Wu patted her own flat, unremarkable chest.

Su Chen ignored the startled rabbit and walked over to the wall, tapping and pressing here and there.

"Boss, what are you looking for? Big Sister Xiao Wu will help you find it!"

Xiao Wu trotted over to help, completely oblivious to the issue with her phrasing.

"Hmm?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes; this rabbit was truly trying to rebel against the heavens.

Was she really trying to climb on top of him?

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, then quickly realized her mistake and said sheepishly, "Ahem, Boss, Xiao Wu is here to help you find it."

Stupid mouth, why did I say what I was thinking out loud?

Hmph!

Su Chen let out a cold snort and made a mental note of this.

When he got back, he would have to gnaw on a few spicy rabbit heads.

The two of them tapped and knocked on the wall together.

Soon, they found a mechanism on the wall.

"Click—"

As a protruding rock was pressed, the stone wall slowly split open to reveal a hidden compartment.

A heavy, lead-lined black box sat quietly inside.

Su Chen lifted the lid, and a vast, pure aura of life instantly flooded the entire stone chamber.

The crystal-clear, deep blue 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone came into view.

Although he didn't care for a 100,000-year spirit bone, he couldn't leave it for that rat and that little brat.

To think more extremely, even if Tang Hao didn't give it to Tang San, he might do something ruthless to himself for the sake of his "lifeline"—amputating his own leg and re-absorbing this 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.

Wouldn't his lower parts just grow back?

Wouldn't that mean he, Su Chen, had castrated Tang Hao for nothing?

Having to castrate him again if they met later would be far too cruel.

He, Su Chen, was a genuinely good person and couldn't bring himself to do such an evil thing.

Having found the item, Su Chen crouched back down beside A Yin.

"I'm taking this spirit bone. As compensation, I'll take you with me and eventually return you to the Blue Silver Forest, or perhaps a treasure land where you can grow ten times faster."

"I'll take your silence as consent."

Before A Yin could respond, Su Chen took action, uprooting her and placing her into the high-grade living-creature storage spirit tool he had just purchased.

The spirit tool he bought was a high-end piece; not only could it store living things, but it also allowed those inside to see and hear the outside world.

It hurts!

As she was pulled out, A Yin felt a sharp pain in her body.

Although she also wanted to leave this godforsaken place, he could have at least let her hesitate for a moment.

Also, just because it isn't your body, does that mean you can kick it so hard?

It hurts, you know!

"Done and dusted." Su Chen clapped the dirt off his hands.

The seeds of doubt had already been sown in A Yin's heart.

If A Yin still couldn't figure it out later, he would have no choice but to use his ultimate trump card.

"My lady, surely you wouldn't want..."

Heh heh heh!!

With that laugh, he felt he was becoming a bit of a villain.

He walked over to the wall of the earthen mound where A Yin was located.

Su Chen flipped his wrist, and his martial soul manifested as a sword.

He walked up to the smooth stone wall, turned his wrist, and carved two lines of large characters into the hard rock with the blade.

"Your wife, I shall provide for."

"Worry not."

"Signed: Cao Cao."

The handwriting was bold and unrestrained, exuding the spirit of the Jian'an era and the legacy of the King of Wei.

Su Chen examined his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

He imagined a day in the future.

Tang Hao, having lost his "tool for the crime," would drag his broken body back to this dark, sunless cave, full of joy and hoping to find some emotional comfort from his wife.

Only to look down and find his wife gone.

Then look up and see these eight characters left on the wall.

Just imagining that scene was enough to give him a rush of pure ecstasy.

That rat would probably be so angry his remaining two kidneys would explode.

Xiao Wu looked at the words on the wall and blinked her large eyes: "Boss, is your real name Cao Cao?"

She had intelligence, but not much of it.

Su Chen rolled his eyes: "I'm also called Li Feiyu."

Putting away his martial soul, he walked to the edge of the cave, spread his arms, and gestured with his chin at Xiao Wu: "Come here."

Xiao Wu froze in place, two blushes creeping up her fair cheeks.

Twisting the hem of her clothes with her small hands, she shuffled over, acting like a shy little bride.

When she reached Su Chen, she closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her hands tightly around his waist and burying her face in his chest.

Su Chen rolled his eyes again.

What kind of nerve was this silly rabbit having?

He told her to come over so they could take off; why was she acting out a romance drama?

Forget it.

Su Chen didn't have time to correct her posture, so he reached out to wrap an arm around her shoulders, holding her steady.

He restarted the flight soul guidance device.

"Hold on tight, the veteran driver is taking off!"

The metal wings unfolded.

The two of them turned into an arrow released from a bow, breaking through the water curtain and charging toward the vast horizon.

The sunlight pierced through the water mist, leaving a brilliant rainbow in their wake.

Su Chen adjusted his soul power, flying leisurely beneath the clouds.

Xiao Wu hugged his neck and poked her head out to look down.

The wind whipped her hair into a chaotic frenzy.

"Boss, fly slower! My hairstyle is getting ruined; I just braided this scorpion tail this morning!" Xiao Wu complained loudly.

Su Chen ignored her protest entirely and soon landed at the entrance of Holy Soul Village.

"Boss, we aren't going back to the academy, why are we running to this village?"

Xiao Wu adjusted her messy scorpion braid, her face full of confusion.

"One must be kind; this is what I call after-sales service."

Su Chen arrived at a mud-brick house with a courtyard.

In the yard, an old man with a head of white hair was hunched over, spreading out dried radishes in a winnowing basket.

"Old man, are these dried radishes of yours ripe?"

The old man looked up to see two young children standing at the gate of his courtyard.

He recognized them; they had only just parted ways a short while ago.

After all, he was the very same guide who had charged one copper soul coin for his services.

Su Chen chuckled.

An acquaintance!

Acquaintances were good; things were easier to handle with people you knew.

It was precisely because of this guide standing before him that he had been able to get things settled so quickly.

"Grandpa, may I ask where the village head of Holy Soul Village, Old Jack, lives?"

Old Jack was taken aback. Just moments ago, those two other children had asked about the back mountain, and now someone else was asking him.

"I am he. May I ask what else you need?"

Su Chen was thoroughly amused.

The guide was Old Jack himself? This was truly a case of finding something without even looking for it.
