Tang Hao's Plan Began

"You people from Spirit Hall are all scum. You deserve to die. The fact that I didn't kill you is already more courtesy than you deserve," Tang Hao said coldly.

With that, he wrapped an arm around Ah Yin (A-Xi) and left.

This was also part of Tang Hao's plan: use Ah Yin's aura to lure over a Spirit Hall Title Douluo and cripple him.

Why only cripple him instead of killing him? What nonsense. Of course, someone had to run back and report to that idiot Qian Xunji. Only then would Spirit Hall send Title Douluos to hunt the soul beast.

In the end, when they were driven into a corner, Ah Yin would have no choice but to sacrifice herself to him, and he could only tearfully accept Ah Yin's cold Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

That was what he had done in his previous life as well. Unfortunately, plans could not keep up with change. Bibi Dong had suddenly appeared midway and killed Qian Xunji, leaving the whole matter unresolved.

Papal Hall

Mad Rhinoceros Douluo tearfully reported the incident to Pope Qian Xunji.

By the end, he said venomously, "Tang Hao colluded with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and crippled me. He even said that everyone in Spirit Hall was scum and deserved to die..."

"What? A mere eight-ringed Soul Master dares speak so arrogantly?" Qian Xunji said coldly from the papal throne. "Golden Bell Douluo, Tang Hao dared collude with soul beasts and harm an elder of Spirit Hall. Issue a continent-wide wanted order for Tang Hao."

Golden Bell Douluo said, "As you command, Your Holiness."

"Wait. The wanted order only needs to say that Tang Hao harmed an elder of Spirit Hall." Thinking of that transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Qian Xunji hurriedly added the reminder.

"Yes!"

Thus, Spirit Hall began hunting Tang Hao across the entire continent and used the matter to hold the Clear Sky Sect accountable.

The Clear Sky Sect claimed that Tang Hao's whereabouts were unknown and pretended to help search for him, but they put in no real effort.

Qian Xunji had never intended to let the Clear Sky Sect find Tang Hao. He wanted to monopolize that Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

"With this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a gift, Dong'er will surely see me differently," Qian Xunji said, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After that, Tang Hao vanished for several months.

Until, in a remote secluded residence, Ah Yin (A-Xi) finally gave birth.

Tang Hao paced nervously outside the room, occasionally reaching behind his back to scratch it. Then, a baby's cries sounded from within. The door opened, and the midwife emerged, congratulating him, "Honorable Lord Soul Master, congratulations! It's a healthy boy."

"A boy? Hahahahaha, I'm a father!" Tang Hao laughed joyfully.

Hahaha, Tang San has become my good son again. In the future, I will become the master of this world, and my Tang Family will rule the Douluo God Realm for ten thousand generations.

After his excitement subsided slightly, Tang Hao looked at the midwife with ill intent.

"Come here. I'll give you a reward," Tang Hao said.

The midwife walked over expectantly. What awaited her was a white blade plunging into her heart, then coming back out red.

"Wh... why..." The midwife died in confusion.

Tang Hao could not even be bothered to explain. He casually tossed the midwife into the mountains outside, then entered the room.

"Ah Yin, where is our child?"

A-Xi lay on the bed, one hand picking her nose while another extended from her back and pointed carelessly toward the baby's cradle. "Over there."

The Rascal Giant Lizard Clan had little emotional attachment to their offspring. Children were merely byproducts of the pleasurable breeding process, and if necessary, they could even serve as emergency rations.

Tang Hao strode briskly toward the cradle, laughing as he went. "Hahahaha, let me see my good son."

But when he reached the cradle and saw the baby inside, he froze.

The naked infant in the cradle was crying. His dark little face was wrinkled like a braised egg, hideously ugly. Of course, that was not strange; newborns were never particularly good-looking. But that was not the main issue. The main issue was that he was far too dark, his entire body the blackish color of soy sauce.

He had a pair of short, thick little legs, while his arms were so long that when he lowered them, they could touch his toes.

Tang Hao looked at his own skin and body structure. He was somewhat dark, but that was the healthy wheat-colored complexion left behind by years of training and blacksmithing. Then he looked at Ah Yin (A-Xi), whose skin was fair and smooth as congealed fat. Looking back at this child with dark skin, long arms, and short legs, Tang Hao thought, Whose damn gorilla offspring is this?

"This is our child?" Tang Hao frowned as he looked at Tang San in the cradle.

"What else would he be?" A-Xi pulled her finger from her nostril and flicked a booger into Tang Hao's messy hair.

"Why is he so dark?" Tang Hao asked suspiciously.

"Maybe I drank too much soy sauce while I was pregnant, so..." A-Xi explained.

Could it really be because Ah Yin had drunk too much soy sauce? Tang Hao asked again, "Then why are his arms and legs so strange?"

"He's just a child. He's still small. He'll slowly grow back to normal in the future," A-Xi said.

"Then..."

"Are you done yet, Brother Hao? Do you think he isn't your child? Do you think I cheated on you?" A-Xi demanded.

"I-I didn't mean that, Ah Yin," Tang Hao hurriedly explained.

"If that's not what you meant, then what exactly did you mean?" A-Xi climbed out of bed, grabbed Tang Hao's ear with one hand, and demanded an answer.

"I... Ah Yin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you," Tang Hao hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Hmph. He is unquestionably your son. You decide what to name him," A-Xi said.

"You are the third sister among the three of us. How about this? We'll call him Tang San, and his nickname will be Xiao San."

"You choose the name, and I'll choose the nickname. My name is Ah Yin, so Tang San's nickname will be A-San." A-Xi gave Tang San an indifferent glance, then impatiently pulled Tang Hao to the bed for three hundred rounds of battle.

The next day, Tang Hao, whose kidneys felt somewhat drained, supported himself against the wall and sat outside the door.

After resting for a long while, Tang Hao finally had the energy to recall some events from his previous life.

In his previous life, shortly after Tang San was born, they had encountered Qian Xunji's pursuit. After Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Tang Hao sank into deep remorse and self-blame. Later, Tang San rose against all odds, overthrew Spirit Hall, and successfully avenged him.

Then Tang San became a god, and Tang Hao rose with him, one man achieving enlightenment and his chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. In the end, Tang Hao became the Plane Lord of Douluo Continent, enjoying incomparable glory.

Thinking carefully now, he had actually forgotten what Tang San had looked like when he was first born in his previous life.

Whenever he thought of that strange creature in the cradle, black as a braised egg with long arms and short legs, Tang Hao could not help frowning.

Could this really have been what Xiao San looked like as a child?

Forget it. No matter what, after Ah Yin sacrificed herself and Xiao San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, his appearance would definitely change.

After all, my son was a god in the God Realm who had even enchanted the Life Goddess beyond reason.

At that thought, Tang Hao could not stop himself from feeling proud.
