Soul Master Hurts People Without Cause? Spirit Pagoda Member Punishes Evil and Upholds Good!
Tang Li heard Na'er stammering and assumed she had been frightened by his violent display. He had just turned around, ready to comfort the little girl.
But the moment he turned, he realized something was seriously wrong. He did not know whether Na'er had been scared, but he knew Mom—Lang Yue—definitely had been!
As for Dad, Tang Ziran... well, the old man's mental resilience had probably already been tempered by him. Something this minor would not scare him.
Still, Tang Li did not try to avoid the matter. He wiped his hands on his clothes again and greeted them in a deliberately casual tone.
"Dad, Mom, um... good evening! When did you get here?"
"Your mother and I were planning to buy some food for you kids from this street. We happened to see you bringing Na'er this way, and we got worried, so we followed you."
Tang Ziran sounded somewhat helpless. He knew his son cared deeply about Wulin, so he had guessed Tang Li would retaliate against these little thugs. But he had not expected Tang Li to work so quickly. He did not even leave a grudge overnight—he dealt with them that very evening.
Tang Ziran released Lang Yue from his embrace, and she immediately rushed over and hugged Tang Li, her eyes full of concern as she checked whether her son had been hurt anywhere.
"Xiao Li, you... how could you do something like this! It was too dangerous! What if you got hurt? You should have told us. You could at least have taken a few Soul Tool Guns from your father before coming!"
Little thugs: 666, so there were Soul Tool Guns too?! It was getting dark! We need to call the police!
Tang Li was a little surprised too. He had thought his mother would scold him, but she was only worried about his safety.
"It's fine, Mom. Don't worry. I never do anything unless I'm sure of it. If I really wasn't confident, I would definitely have taken weapons from Dad."
Tang Li hugged Lang Yue as well, comforting her in turn and telling her he was fine.
Tang Ziran looked at the little thugs lying on the ground like dead dogs, wheezing and gasping for breath. His eyes were filled with anger as well.
These pieces of shit had committed every evil imaginable. They deserved to die!
"Yoo juss wait! I'm callin' da police! (You just wait! I'm calling the police!)"
One of the more clear-headed little thugs struggled to his feet and pointed at them as he roared. Since all his teeth had been knocked out and his mouth leaked air, his words came out unclear.
But he clearly knew a little about the law. It was no small crime for a Soul Master to oppress ordinary people.
Since Tang Li had withdrawn her Martial Soul, the effect of her First Soul Skill had faded as well. They had regained a little strength, which was why they could get up and speak.
With someone taking the lead, the other little thugs endured the excruciating pain and angrily chimed in, saying they would find the police and report a Soul Master for assaulting people.
Hearing that, Tang Li immediately got angry. But Lang Yue was still holding her, so she could not turn around and beat them up again. Just as she was about to ask her mother to let go, Dad Tang Ziran had already rushed over like a violent gale and kicked the little thug who had just stood up flying.
These pieces of shit had bullied his daughter, yet they still dared to threaten to call the police. They truly did not know whether they were alive or dead!
"You bunch of trash, the police should be arresting you! Besides, my son is with the Spirit Pagoda. Him beating you up does not count as a Soul Master oppressing ordinary people. This is the assistant to the director of the Spirit Pagoda Aolai City Branch punishing evil and upholding good! Even if the police came, they'd have to give my son a commendation banner!"
Tang Ziran viciously kicked them with the tips of his shoes while invoking the Spirit Pagoda's name to frighten them.
Those little thugs only knew that the Spirit Pagoda was powerful, something they could never hope to reach in their entire lives. The name alone scared them out of their wits. They no longer dared to plead their case and hurriedly scrambled away.
Only after they had all dispersed did Tang Ziran turn back and take his wife and son away. The children's bed he had just bought was still sitting at the entrance to the alley.
"Xiao Li, remember to discuss this sort of thing with Dad next time. Dad may not be very capable, but I have more life experience than you. I can give you some advice and help you avoid unnecessary trouble."
At the mouth of the alley, Tang Ziran hoisted the children's bed onto his shoulder and earnestly spoke to Tang Li.
"Got it!"
The matter was already settled, and Tang Li was in a fine mood, so she readily agreed.
Lang Yue held one child's hand in each of hers as she followed behind her husband. As the family walked along the bustling street, Tang Li listened to her mother's nagging while still remembering to buy some snacks for Tang Wulin at home.
Once they returned home, Tang Ziran rearranged Tang Li's room. Tang Wulin and Na'er's beds were placed together, while Tang Li's bed was set off to one side.
Tang Li helped Dad with the work. Lang Yue prepared a small blanket for Na'er and washed clothes along the way, while Tang Wulin sat with Na'er and ate the snacks they had brought back.
As Na'er told her what had happened outside, especially how Tang Li had knocked out all those people's teeth to avenge her, Tang Wulin's first reaction was to ask whether Tang Li had been hurt.
Na'er had to explain it several times before Tang Wulin finally relaxed.
Once the room had been tidied up, Tang Li had not even had time to wash the dust off herself before Tang Wulin threw herself at her, hugged her, and planted a fierce kiss on her.
"Mwah! Xiao Li, you're the best! But make sure you stay safe next time. If you can, remember to bring me along."
"Okay, okay. I'll definitely let you know next time. But I'm covered in dust right now, so move away first. Don't get your clothes dirty."
Although Tang Li cared deeply for her sister Tang Wulin, she really could not handle such excessive enthusiasm. Maybe she was just a little strange.
"Big Brother Xiao Li and Big Sister Wulin have such a good relationship!"
Na'er blinked her large eyes, genuinely envious of such affection.
Tang Wulin jumped down from Tang Li and hugged Na'er instead, asking with concern, "Na'er, do you want to take a bath?"
Na'er shook her head. She had already bathed that afternoon, and she had not sweated during this outing, so there was no need to wash again.
"Oh!" Tang Wulin had been planning to let Na'er bathe with Tang Li to save trouble. She had always done things that way before.
At the age of six, how could Tang Wulin possibly understand that boys and girls should keep apart?
While they were talking, Tang Li had already slipped into the bathroom.
In the other room, Tang Ziran had been exhausted from the day and startled several times by his son. He no longer wanted to move, but he forced himself to use his communicator to reply to Lin Ye about Tang Li's decision.
Lin Ye replied almost instantly and asked Tang Ziran to tell Tang Li that she no longer needed to attend Red Mountain Academy's afternoon cultivation classes. He would pick Tang Li up and bring her to the Meditation Room at the Spirit Pagoda for cultivation.
After seeing the message, Tang Ziran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon afterward, steady breathing filled the room as he fell into a deep sleep.
After washing up, Tang Li returned to the room in her pajamas and began meditating. Seeing her younger sister work so hard, Tang Wulin insisted on meditating and cultivating as well.
But once Tang Wulin entered her state, the familiar golden patterns appeared again. Na'er stared at Tang Li and Tang Wulin for a long time, her brows filled with confusion.
Tang Li began absorbing the power of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings again. Feeling her body and spiritual power slowly grow stronger as those forces nourished them, she happily entered meditation.
After absorbing the Soul Spirit, her soul power had reached level thirteen, and her spiritual power had increased somewhat as well. She would have to test it tomorrow to see exactly how much it had risen.
