Destruction's Suspicion

Jiang Mu answered calmly, "I was picked up and brought back. It's not wrong to call us siblings, but it's not exactly right either. It depends on how you understand it."

Tang Ya's eyes widened when she heard that. They were siblings, but not in the way she had understood. Did that mean she still had a chance?

No matter how she looked at it, she would be getting the better end of the deal.

His looks were good, his talent was good, and even his character was exceptionally kind.

Thinking of this, Tang Ya unconsciously lowered her head.

Since she did not ask, Jiang Mu did not look at her either. Instead, he turned his gaze to the storage ring bracelet in his hand.

"How much did it cost?"

"Not much. Xiao Ya bargained hard, and quite a few people around us were urging us to buy from them. Altogether, it only came to 1,600 gold soul coins."

Late at night.

Jiang Mu's face was full of regret as he ended today's cultivation.

"Wang Dong'er alone isn't enough to cultivate with?"

Aside from the two unusable names on the revenge list, the others were all low on health. Not a single bit of their health had recovered.

If he cultivated with spiritual power again, he would probably die. He had no choice but to restrain himself for now.

Whoosh—

A breeze blew in through the window he had failed to close tightly, interrupting his thoughts.

Coming back to his senses, he instinctively looked ahead. Directly in front of him was the bed where Tang Ya lay.

He happened to see Tang Ya, already deeply asleep.

Her sleeping face was peaceful, her oval face lovely. Dressed in a light-blue nightgown, she looked every bit the young girl beneath the moonlight.

Very beautiful.

Was he only allowed to admire the girl's beauty tonight?

That was not impossible...

Wait!

Jiang Mu suddenly thought of something!

He could extract the high-grade martial soul bloodlines from Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's bodies and refine them into blood essence. Could he do the same with Tang San?

Tang San possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

If he could extract Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor blood essence and give it to Tang Ya...

It felt like Tang Ya would have to offer herself to him...

He would do it right away. Advancing his harem plan by one step—wasn't that a good deed?

Besides, Bei Bei harbored such killing intent toward him, so he would use Bei Bei's future lover to make up for it.

Because this involved Tang San, Jiang Mu was extremely cautious this time.

He would not do as he had with Xu Sanshi or Bei Bei and extract it directly from the heart.

That would be far too inappropriate.

Putting aside whether he would be discovered, if he truly failed to hold himself back and drained Tang San too severely, then given Tang San's character, some enemies might directly self-destruct and take him away with them. Wouldn't that mean less fun?

To prevent such unnecessary accidents, he still had to be cautious. He would take it bit by bit, then expand later.

God Realm.

An office.

Tang San was holding a report and reviewing it while drafting plans when he suddenly felt a pain in his right index finger.

It felt like a tiny ant bite. Tang San merely frowned.

"Mm."

He raised his hand to look, but there was nothing there.

Thinking it was nothing, he lightly shook his hand and stopped paying attention to it. He refocused on the papers in his hand and continued setting out the plan, but before long, it hurt again.

"?"

His brows instantly furrowed, and an expression of displeasure appeared on his face.

"What's going on? Are there flies in the God Realm?"

Buzz—

Yet his powerful divine sense swept through the surroundings and found nothing.

"What's going on?"

With a crack, Tang San instantly stood up and looked left and right.

His divine sense had detected nothing, yet his finger still hurt. Could this be someone's prank?

"No, no."

"Even if it's some prank, the difference in strength shouldn't be so great that I can't detect it!"

If he could not sense such an obvious prank even after trying, it proved that the gap in strength was anything but ordinary.

If that person truly wanted to destroy him, they could do so at any time. There was no need to wait.

Tang San's expression shifted constantly as though he were changing faces. He could not understand what exactly was happening to his body.

But one thing was clear: danger!

Because it was so mild, Tang San could still move, and the bleeding was slow. It only made him take it somewhat seriously.

He instantly vanished from the room.

He had to find out who had launched this attack against him.

At present, his only suspicion was Destruction!

They had clashed more than once.

The God King of Destruction had taken the blame once again.

"Damn it, playing dirty?"

Tang San clenched his fists, inwardly furious.

From beginning to end, only he should have been allowed to play dirty, and only he himself could play dirty.

For example, only he could use hidden weapons. If others used them, they were taking an unfair advantage. If others used them for a sneak attack, that was even more dishonorable. He was pure and immaculate—how could he possibly be ambushed?

It was precisely because of this lofty attitude that he developed such extreme views and looked down on soul tools.

He had even made his own daughter refuse to use soul tools.

At heart, he was extremely selfish and self-serving.

God Realm Committee.

The meeting hall. Other than Destruction, who sat there contemplating a plan to oppose—or persuade—Tang San to expand the God Realm, no one else was present. Everyone had their own matters to attend to.

Whoosh—

Tang San rapidly approached, stirring up a gust of wind that caught Destruction's attention. He looked up and saw Tang San. His previously expressionless face instantly tightened.

"Is there something the Sea God needs here?"

Though he spoke this way, Destruction had already begun examining him. He could detect the minute loss of blood essence, but why? What was the purpose?

Tang San walked over and pointed directly at Destruction.

"You couldn't beat me, so you resorted to dirty tricks? Did you place some curse on me? Why is the blood essence in my body disappearing for no reason?"

If not for maintaining his image before others—and because he could not defeat him—Tang San might already have grabbed Destruction by the collar, roared at him, and even attacked.

However, Destruction was left somewhat dumbfounded by the situation. "Huh?"

"You came here just to lose your mind?"

"What does your blood essence loss have to do with me? Maybe you've been too improper in your daily conduct, have a bad attitude, and offended some god."

Destruction rolled his eyes. He had never even heard of such a method.

However, the abilities of gods in the God Realm were strange and varied. They did not know every god's methods.

That could be considered a kind of privacy. Perhaps someone possessed a method capable of disgusting a God King.

No, no!

The moment that thought surfaced, Destruction shook his head. Seeing the blood essence leaking from Tang San's body slowly increasing, he immediately frowned.

"You didn't do something with the God Realm Hub, did you?"

They knew of the existence of other worlds not because gods who had ascended had gathered there, but because the God Realm Hub was a permit that allowed one to view other worlds!

If he had done something and been noticed by a great being from another world, then being struck by such a method was not impossible!

Tang San was immediately speechless. He raised his hand, then lowered it again. Seeing that it was clearly possible, Destruction instantly grew angry.

"I truly don't understand what kind of successor Asura chose. Did you get discovered by a powerful being from another world while viewing it?"
