Tang Hao and Xiao Family Village

Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Chenghe with considerable disdain, then took Luo Yihe's hand and moved a little farther away from Xiao Chenghe.

As for Luo Yihe, his eyes lit up.

(✧ω✧) "Ahem!"

Luo Yihe quietly pulled his hand free from Xiao Wu's grip, then draped an arm over Xiao Chenghe's shoulder and said, "Big Bear, that's a pretty good idea. Hey, now that you mention it, doesn't little Gangzi's martial soul fart all the time? What do you think would happen if we found a sieve, plugged up Luo Sanpao's ass, and then forced little Gangzi to make Luo Sanpao fart?"

{Ding, negative emotions from Yu Xiaogang +699}

"Holy shit! Big Brother, what a great idea! Little Gangzi doesn't look like he's got much backbone. We just need to do this, then this, and..."

"Luo Yihe, Xiao Chenghe—"

Yu Xiaogang's furious roar suddenly came from the room next door.

Xiao Chenghe was horrified.

"Holy shit! They found out about our plot."

"Run!"

With a whoosh, the two of them bolted toward the outside of the school building.

And Xiao Wu?

Her entire rabbit self had gone numb. What sin had she committed to actually develop a fondness for such living treasures? Planning how to scheme against Yu Xiaogang right outside his room was one thing, but Luo Yihe was actually interested in this sort of thing.

"If I have sinned, then let heavenly tribulation lightning strike me dead—but don't make me face a talking Luo Yihe! Ahhh."

The two brothers were still grinning happily when they returned to the dormitory.

Then they saw a somewhat dark-skinned, rather plain-looking young man striding toward Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe in a rage.

"Luo Yihe, Xiao Chenghe, you two, stop right there."

Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe both looked curiously at Tang San.

Luo Yihe asked curiously, "Little Blackie, what's wrong?"

Hearing the nickname Luo Yihe had given him again, Tang San gritted his teeth in hatred, yet there was nothing he could do about Luo Yihe.

From the very first time they met, Luo Yihe had constantly picked fights with him. Xiao Wu had practically been about to share a bed with him, Tang San, but it was all ruined by that damned Luo Yihe, who claimed he was a prince wandering in exile and that when the time came, all of Douluo Continent would have to listen to him, Luo Yihe.

And this self-proclaimed prince, this future ruler of Douluo Continent, had taken a liking to Xiao Wu. He had even said he would cuckold Tang San right in front of him. Tang San did not understand the term, but he was one hundred percent certain it was not anything good.

As for how Tang San knew, the reason was simple. When he told Luo Yihe that he would cuckold Luo Yihe someday, he had come within a hair's breadth—just a tiny bit—of being beaten to death by Luo Yihe.

What Tang San did not know was that his father, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, had already come to avenge him that very day.

He had nearly been skewered to death by Mew, transformed into Groudon, with a single Precipice Blades.

Naturally, Tang Hao had refused to accept that. After recuperating for nearly two years, when he saw Mew and Luo Yihe again, he opened with his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul Avatar.

The result was that Luo Yihe directed Mew to transform into Rayquaza, and a single Dragon Ascent shattered Tang Hao's dreams of Clear Sky.

But Luo Yihe was not Mew. Mew thought everyone who attacked it was playing a game with it. That very night, Luo Yihe let the Clear Sky Douluo—the youngest Title Douluo on the continent, father of the future twin gods, and future lord of Douluo—Tang Hao experience the malice of Aruba.

After that night, Tang Hao's personality changed drastically. His hair became a huge "SB," his clothes became rags that could only cover the important parts, and he willingly gave Ah Yin's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Luo Yihe as a meeting gift. Luo Yihe was also very polite, saying that he could conveniently take care of Sister-in-law as well. Tang Hao, as the elder brother, said that little brother Luo Yihe was far too polite, that he had troubled little brother Luo Yihe too much—helping his elder brother cut his hair and alter such fashionable clothes. As for Sister-in-law...

Just as Tang Hao was about to fight for it a little longer, Mew had already transformed into Kyogre and prepared to unleash an Origin Pulse.

Tang Hao still felt that the little brother he had acknowledged was more suited to looking after Ah Yin. Bringing Luo Yihe and Mew there, and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, had all just been excuses. He simply admired Ah Yin's gentle temperament.

And weren't the two most widely recognized forms of kindness helping the weak through difficult times and encouraging those in hardship to regain their confidence?

Ah Yin just so happened to possess a gentle temperament and a delicate, pitiful air that made people unable to resist wanting to protect her properly.

When Mew saw that Tang Hao was no longer fighting—or rather, no longer playing with it—it thought they had just had a thoroughly satisfying game, one that it had won again.

q(≧▽≦q) It stood beside Luo Yihe, covered its mouth, and let out a laugh brimming with mockery.

Of course, Mew thought it was laughing secretly and that no one else could hear it. It had no conscious intention of mocking anyone.

Once Tang Hao handed Ah Yin and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone over to Luo Yihe, the matter was considered settled.

After that incident, Mew grew increasingly curious about this unfamiliar world. It would disappear from time to time, and if Mew did not wish to return, Luo Yihe had no way to forcibly control it.

Afterward, Mew appeared before Luo Yihe less and less often. It would vanish for very, very long periods, and eventually, Mew was never seen again.

Tang San noticed this as well. It was not because he was especially clever; Luo Yihe had simply suddenly become better behaved. In the past, even the yellow dog at the school gate would get kicked twice whenever it saw Luo Yihe. Now, while he was not exactly obedient, Luo Yihe would even greet Tang San and the teachers when he saw them.

Just when Tang San thought he could finally get his revenge, Luo Yihe awakened a system and drew an ordinary strand of fur from the demigod Volibear. It could allow any bear-type martial soul on Douluo Continent to undergo one Martial Soul Evolution, with the added power of lightning.

During his childhood, Luo Yihe had been taken in by the people of Xiao Village and raised on meals from every household.

Luo Yihe found an opportunity to return to Xiao Family Village and told the village chief that he had obtained a treasure of great use to bear-type martial souls. The village chief thought Luo Yihe was repaying their kindness and sternly refused. But Luo Yihe smiled indifferently and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, this is an incredible treasure. If someone in our village has a bear-type martial soul and uses this treasure, their minimum achievement will be becoming one of the legendary Title Douluo."

"If Xiao Family Village wants to become better in the future, then one of the direct descendants of the Xiao Clan must use it, represent the Xiao Clan, and become the Xiao Clan's strongest support."

"Wouldn't it be even better if you used it, Xiao Yi? No one in our Xiao Family Village has ever had Innate Soul Power above level two! How could we use such a treasure? How would we dare use it? If it were ruined, this old man would die with regrets."

The village chief spoke those words helplessly. How could he not know that this was Xiao Family Village's fastest chance to rise? If a direct descendant of the Xiao Clan could become a Title Douluo, he did not dare imagine how glorious the Xiao Clan's future would be.

But he did not dare gamble. The strength of one's Innate Soul Power was a belief carved into the bones of these villagers. The amount of Innate Soul Power one possessed represented how far one could travel down the path of a soul master.

If they wasted such a treasure, the village chief could not guarantee that Luo Yihe would continue looking after Xiao Family Village in the future. So, the village chief chose the safest option.

That was to refuse this kindness. In the old village chief's eyes, the benefits a Title Douluo could bring might only be slightly greater than those brought by the lord of Notting City. He had never seen a Title Douluo clan and had never even heard of one.

Therefore, the old village chief felt that once Luo Yihe developed in the future, the indirect benefits he could bring to Xiao Family Village might not necessarily be less than those brought by someone whose chances of becoming a Title Douluo were uncertain.
