As the most steadfast warrior of feudalism, Tang San knew perfectly well that if a woman wanted to become a man's legal wife, she had to remain pure and spotless.
But his own mother...
Sigh, it was all that drunkard's fault. Why had his own mother taken a liking to such a man—someone who possessed strength but did absolutely nothing with it?
Sigh, his mother's choice had turned his father into that kind of person as well. Compared to the father in his heart, they were complete opposites—one was in heaven, while the other was down in the eighteenth level of hell.
"Xiao San, what are you still daydreaming about?"
"Hurry up and absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Are you planning to keep this standoff with your teacher going?"
Tang Wulin watched Tang San's constantly shifting gaze and expression, feeling both amused and helpless.
As a disciple, Tang San was truly respectful toward his teacher, which made Tang Wulin very gratified. It was just that this boy sometimes thought far too much.
"All right, then, Teacher, I won't stand on ceremony. But I have one more request. I hope you'll agree to it!"
Tang San looked around the enclosed cave, feeling sorrowful about the environment his mother was in. Then he thought of the method his teacher had just used to treat her.
He finally made his decision: he would take his mother away and have her stay by his teacher's side.
This was not only because his teacher had a way to save his mother, but also because he wanted to free her from her suffering.
In Tang San's view, Tang Hao, that drunkard, had not dared to visit his mother for several years. He must have a guilty conscience—or perhaps he had never taken his own mother seriously at all and did not love her in the slightest.
Since that was the case, then for his mother to escape her suffering, his teacher was the best choice. Although his mother definitely could not become his teacher's legal wife, with Tang San making plans behind the scenes, it might not be impossible for him to help his mother become his teacher's favored concubine, or even his equal wife!
As for Tang Hao, that drunkard—since he had never taken his mother seriously, he should stop coming to harass her.
As a filial son, Tang San felt it was necessary to pursue true happiness for his mother.
If his teacher truly ended up together with his mother in the future, would he then be able to genuinely call his teacher... Father?
Oh... Father!!!
Whenever Tang San imagined that scene of a loving father and filial son, his heart warmed. This was the life he had always longed for!
"What do you want your teacher to help you with?"
Tang Wulin looked at Tang San curiously, unsure of what this disciple intended to ask of him.
"Teacher, I hope I can take my mother away from this cave."
"Teacher, you're the Blue Silver Emperor, and your Blue Silver Domain can even help my mother recover. I want to ask you to keep my mother with you. You're the best choice for my mother right now."
Huh?
Even Tang Wulin was left somewhat dumbfounded by Tang San's words.
Taking your mother away from here was understandable. It was only natural.
Helping your mother recover was also understandable. After all, you had finally reunited with your mother and wanted to show your filial devotion by helping her recover quickly. That was understandable too.
But asking me to keep Ah Yin with me, and saying that I'm your mother's best choice right now?
Was that really appropriate?
And Xiao San, are you sure Tang Hao wouldn't object?
Tang Wulin was not afraid of Tang Hao.
Although Tang Hao's strength was extraordinary, he was now seriously injured. Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline and all the methods at his disposal were enough to ensure that he would remain undefeated against Tang Hao.
He simply felt that Tang San's wording was somewhat problematic—just a tiny bit explosive.
"Xiao San, you..."
"If Teacher won't agree, then I won't absorb this Spirit Bone. Please save my mother!"
Before Tang Wulin could finish, Tang San spoke again. His eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin with utmost sincerity.
"Sigh, you child... Fine, your teacher agrees."
"Now hurry up and absorb this Spirit Bone. You actually dared to threaten your teacher. I think you really need to be taught a lesson."
Tang Wulin pretended to be angry and lightly tapped Tang San on the head.
Tang San put on a pained expression, but a foolish grin spread across his face.
His teacher had helped him once again. This bond and warmth unique to family truly could only be given to him by his teacher.
Then, under Tang Wulin's watchful gaze, Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground and pressed the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone against his leg.
Buzz!
As Tang San's Soul Power intertwined with the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, an incomparably rich vitality instantly spread out, filling the entire cave.
Tang Wulin expanded his Blue Silver Domain, gathered all the vitality drifting through the air, and fed it to Ah Yin atop the little mound of earth.
Above the little mound, Ah Yin's branches and leaves swayed slightly as they were nourished by the vitality. One branch unconsciously drew closer to Tang Wulin, even winding around his fingertip.
As the Son of Nature, to plant-type soul beasts, was like an upgraded version of the Emperor Auspicious Beast. That attraction was impossible to resist.
Not long ago, Ah Yin had been able to hold out only because she had forced herself to endure, repeatedly warning herself and forcibly suppressing her instincts.
Now, with Tang Wulin once again gathering a massive amount of vitality, Ah Yin's fragile body was overwhelmed and dizzy. How could she possibly maintain her restraint? Instinct made it impossible for her to resist the aura around Tang Wulin. Her branches unconsciously wound around his fingertip, wanting to draw close to the Son of Nature.
Looking at the fragile Blue Silver Emperor branch coiled around his fingertip, Tang Wulin did not try to pull it away. After all, this was Xiao San's mother. Since she had been entrusted to his care, he could not treat her roughly under any circumstances.
Taking care of his student's fragile mother was something a teacher ought to do.
As vitality continued pouring into Ah Yin's fragile body, the Blue Silver Emperor's branches and leaves also grew rapidly, silently and unnoticed.
Tang San, who was absorbing the Spirit Bone, knew nothing of this. He only felt incomparably comfortable, cool and soothing from head to toe.
The Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline within his body was also rapidly growing stronger. The milky-white Soul Power produced by cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill gradually changed into a blue-silver color as his bloodline deepened, then began transforming toward blue-gold.
Tang San's muscles and bones were also rapidly strengthened by the endless vitality. His hair, which had originally possessed only the faintest hint of light blue, had now completely turned light blue as his bloodline continued to deepen.
His features had also completely shed their former plainness. He now resembled Tang Wulin by four or five parts, exuding an air of nobility and handsome elegance.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Wulin watched Tang San gradually grow more and more like him as his bloodline awakened, leaving him clicking his tongue in amazement.
Now, standing together, Tang Wulin and Tang San looked completely like a pair of brothers.
Some more extreme people might even directly assume that Tang San was his son.
