Gu--! Ga--!

Tang Hao slapped Tang San across the face.

"Who told you to tell them?!"

Tang San's head tilted from the blow, his ears ringing as half his cheek swelled up instantly in a fraction of a second.

He clutched his red, swollen cheek, his voice trembling with obvious panic and grievance.

"Dad... I was a victim too..."

"You better pray she hasn't been stolen!"

Tang Hao shot him a cold glare, his figure flashing as he dashed straight toward the back mountain.

Tang San stared blankly at the empty space before him.

Disappeared? Dad isn't an ordinary person, he's a soul master? But why didn't he tell me...

It must be because I'm too useless... That's why Dad doesn't hold me in any regard...

In the waterfall valley behind Holy Soul Village.

Tang Hao plunged straight into the cave behind the waterfall.

Seeing the completely empty little mound of earth, Tang Hao's mind went blank instantly.

"Gone..."

Before he had time for anger, Tang Hao whipped his head around and rushed with large strides toward the stone wall on one side of the cave.

He reached out and pressed his hand against the cold stone wall.

"Crack--"

A hidden compartment opened, but the inside of it was completely empty.

A piercing chill surged straight from the soles of his feet to his crown.

"The soul bone was stolen too?! Damn it!!"

Tang Hao's eyes were blood-red, his breathing ragged like an ox's, and the soul power around his body surged out of control in a violent frenzy, whipping up a fierce wind inside the cave.

His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, sweeping rapidly across the entire cave and scouring every single corner of the interior inch by inch.

Finally, his gaze locked onto the hard stone wall on the other side.

Emblazoned upon it was a crude yet incredibly vivid dog-head pattern.

Drooping ears, slightly slanted eye corners, an all-knowing wise expression, and its head tilted to the side, inexplicably exuding a thick aura of mockery.

It seemed to be mocking him for being a complete idiot.

Tang Hao's body trembled slightly, his entire face turning a purplish-red, veins bulging on his neck.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Tang Hao flew out of the cave, his body's soul power erupting as he hoisted the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it down.

"Boom!!!"

Rubble rolled, giant boulders plummeted, and a deafening roar echoed through the entire back mountain valley.

Mist filling the sky mingled with dust and shattered rocks, flying about in a frenzy.

In just a short moment, the entire valley instantly became a pile of rubble and ruins.

Tang Hao stood amid the flying debris, his pair of eyes as red as blood.

He clenched his fists tightly, a hoarse voice squeezing out from between his teeth.

"No matter who you are! How dare you take Tang Hao's things!"

"I will definitely find you and pound you into meat paste!!!"

Three days later.

Outside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

A few disciples were chatting and shooting the breeze.

"Ah~ guarding the gate is still the best~ after going to work on the assembly line for a whole day yesterday, I felt like I was practically dead."

"Who's to say otherwise, at least here we can chat and rest. On the assembly line you can't stop at all, and as soon as your speed slows down you get whipped. Hiss... my ass still hurts."

"Boom-- boom--"

The sound of engine revving came closer from afar.

The mountain-guarding disciples cut off their conversation, looking uniformly toward the mountain path direction with faces full of bewilderment.

"What's that sound?"

"It kind of sounds like the vehicle little master Lin Xiao put together..."

Right at that moment, a loud penguin cry wailed over.

"Gu--! Ga--!"

"This sound is so familiar... Oh no! It's that group of little ancestors!! Hurry up and open the gate!!"

The moment the gate opened.

The motorcycle engine roared, dragging along a long string of penguins wearing black and white stripes as it instantly charged inside.

They drove recklessly all the way through the sect, arriving in front of Lin Xiao's courtyard.

"Brake quickly Guga!!"

Guga clinging to the front of the vehicle shut her eyes tight, pressing her small body firmly against the vehicle body while pulling her throat and screaming wildly.

The next second!

"Screeech--!!"

An extremely piercing screech of brakes rang out!

The motorcycle tires rubbed against the smooth bluestone ground, dragging out a long black mark.

The huge momentum caused the vehicle body to pause abruptly, and the string of Gugas dragged at the tail instantly flew up, soaring into the courtyard.

Like a shower of penguins.

"Guga!!"

"Ouch!!"

"Gu-lu-lu-lu--"

One after another, startled screams resounded through the small courtyard.

Every single Guga tumbled in quite an even spread; the grass, stone steps, and pond were filled with their figures.

The crowd of Gugas lay sprawled out all over the courtyard in various poses, wailing.

Only the leading Thief Guga #1 slowly climbed up, reaching out to scratch her round head with a blank look on her face.

"Guga? Why doesn't it hurt?"

"Wuwuwu... get up already... I hurt!!"

Thief Guga #1 looked down.

Turns out she was standing on someone else's back, no wonder it didn't hurt.

Xiao Wu lay flat on the ground in a sprawling shape, hurting so much that her tears and snot were smeared together, and beside her hand was a puddle of small cake smashed into mush.

"Sorry Guga! I didn't mean to."

Thief Guga hurried to lift her foot and jump off her back, retreating two steps in a fluster.

Xiao Wu braced the ground, slowly climbing up from the grass, looking at the scrapped cake on the ground, feeling a sourness in her nose as she covered her eyes with her forearm and wailed.

"Wuwuwuwu-- my small cake! I finally managed to swindle it from Rongrong! Wuwuwuwu--"

Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Xiao walked out from the room.

"What's wrong? Oh! Thief Gugas, you're back?!"

"Of course! Under this Guga's great leadership, the goods are already in hand Guga!"

Thief Guga put her hands on her hips with a proud look.

As her voice trailed off, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Ninja Guga and Thief Guga #3 ran in carrying a flowerpot and a lead box.

"Boss! Mission accomplished successfully!"

"Mm, good job!"

Lin Xiao reached out and patted their little heads one by one, then picked up the lead box and opened it.

A crystal-clear right leg bone presented itself before them.

Immediately following that, an extremely rich life aura rushed over their faces, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard seemed to leap for joy, gently swaying their branches and leaves.

Was this the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone?

Truly extraordinary.

Sensing this aura, Xiao Wu randomly wiped away her tears and poked her little head over.

"This is a hundred-thousand-year soul bone?!"

"Mm, it's a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, and this pot of grass is her true form."

Lin Xiao closed the lead box lid, lifting his chin to signal her to look at that pot of grass.

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with sorrow, reaching out with pity to stroke the slightly yellowed edges of the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves.

The Blue Silver Emperor also seemed to sense Xiao Wu's aura, its slender branches and leaves swaying gently, responding tenderly to Xiao Wu's touch.

She looked at Lin Xiao with doubt.

"Boss, why is this Blue Silver Emperor so withered?"

Thief Guga #1 was eager to show off, speaking up:

"This Guga knows! It was planted in that cave behind the waterfall in Holy Soul Village, and didn't get much sunlight all day long.

For this grass to still be alive is already a miracle Guga!"

"So pitiful... Boss, can I raise it?"

Xiao Wu took the flowerpot over with a heart full of ache.

Lin Xiao nodded: "Whatever you want."

"Thank you Boss! I'm going to go water and fertilize it right now!"

Xiao Wu's eyes curved into crescents, her two rabbit ears swaying happily as she skipped toward the room.

Yet she ignored that puddle of cake on the ground.

Her sole brushed past the sticky cream, and her center of gravity lost balance instantly.

Her whole body toppled straight backward.

"Plop!"

"Thump!"
