Four Transmigrators (Part Two)

The reason was absurd: his elder sister had rejected his advances, so he no longer regarded his own sister as his sister.

He had even recklessly set his sights on the two Titled Douluo powerhouses, Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong and the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, whose name he had never even heard before.

He was simply outrageously lustful.

Even if he survived this time, he would sooner or later be killed by Spirit Hall or that Sea God Douluo, dragging the Dragon Snake Family into the abyss with him.

This alone showed that the other party was indeed no longer their grandson.

Even if he were, they would not dare acknowledge him.

The real Meng Baichuan had never been like this since childhood.

Although he had been somewhat clumsy, he had been a modest and polite good child.

He had certainly never been such a rebellious wretch who disregarded all human ethics.

How could they possibly expect a beast who could bring himself to attack even his own sister to revitalize the family?

At this thought, Meng Shu could not help revealing a self-mocking smile. "Heh, I never imagined that my grandson's body had been occupied for five years. It was only today that I found out. How truly ridiculous..."

"Even if he really isn't our grandson, he's still one of our own. What right did that person have to kill him?" Chao Tianxiang said unwillingly.

In her view, even if Meng Baichuan was not her grandson, he should not have been killed outright.

He should have been imprisoned instead. After all, he still carried the bloodline of the Dragon Snake Family. Having him pass on his talents and continue the family line would have been better than losing both the man and the External Soul Bone.

Meng Shu said solemnly, "Old woman, don't bring this up again in the future."

"Have you forgotten? Five years ago, we were invited to attend the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Martial Soul awakening ceremony. That was when Yu Tianlong awakened the Dark Sacred Dragon and Innate Full Soul Power."

"Not long afterward, news came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that Sword Bone Douluo had broken the Soul Master world's rule that a Soul Master could only have one teacher in his lifetime, taking on a boy who had just awakened his Martial Soul as his disciple."

"Ning Fengzhi had even arranged a marriage between that boy and his beloved daughter on the spot to win him over..."

"And there's the Wind Sword Sect. It was said that a genius with Innate Full Soul Power had also appeared there, one whom Crown Prince Xue Qinghe greatly favored and treated as a brother."

"Adding our good grandson, whose temperament changed drastically after awakening his Martial Soul, and the mysterious person who killed him, don't you think too many geniuses have emerged this year?"

"And that Old Poison. The strength he's displayed in recent years has grown increasingly formidable. Even Spirit Hall doesn't dare provoke him lightly. Perhaps a Fellow Transmigrator appeared beside him and gave him that so-called Immortal Herb—or perhaps he himself is one of the Fellow Transmigrators."

Meng Yiran asked in surprise, "Grandpa, why have I never heard you mention this before?"

Meng Shu said in a deep voice, "You and that 'Fellow Transmigrator' used to devote yourselves entirely to cultivation and never asked us about it. Naturally, your grandmother and I didn't tell you. Besides, we didn't want to burden you with these trivial matters. I imagine most of the other factions were the same."

"Perhaps it was only a coincidence." Serpent Matriarch was still unwilling to accept the fact that someone had occupied her grandson's body.

"What about Whale Rubber? Before that 'Fellow Transmigrator' told us what it was truly used for, no one paid any attention to it. Yet during that same period, nearly every major sect and faction began scrambling to buy it. Spirit Hall in particular sent large numbers of Soul Masters out to sea to hunt sea Soul Beasts. Even so, the price of Whale Rubber remained sky-high."

Dragon Duke's words left Serpent Matriarch unable to refute him any longer.

In the end, she could only sigh helplessly. "Then what do you suggest we do? Should our Dragon Snake Family just swallow this grievance? We have to at least get that External Soul Bone back."

Meng Shu did not answer. Instead, he looked at Meng Yiran and asked, "Yiran, if that mysterious man in black stood before you, would you recognize him?"

Meng Yiran shook her head blankly. "Forget his appearance—I don't even know what his Martial Soul is. How could I possibly recognize him?"

Meng Shu continued, "What do you think of him?"

Meng Yiran froze for a moment. Light flickered in her eyes, and in the end, she could not help saying:

"He's a very mysterious person. He was ruthless when he attacked. If Meng Baichuan hadn't tried to kill him along with himself, I'm afraid that palm would have killed me too."

Recalling Lin Yuan's threatening words, she added, "But in the end, he turned around and saved me. I don't know how to evaluate him."

Meng Shu smiled. "I'm asking how you feel about him."

At his words, Meng Yiran could not help recalling how she had been seriously injured and unconscious, and how, after waking up, she had found her upper body wrapped in nothing but bandages. Her pretty face flushed slightly.

"Grandpa, you're not trying to play matchmaker, are you? That person is a monster just like Meng Baichuan. He could be several decades or even over a century old."

She did not want to marry an old man.

Meng Shu chuckled. "Judging from the other 'Fellow Transmigrators,' this mysterious person should currently be around eleven years old. Moreover, unlike the others, he isn't high-profile and knows how to conceal his abilities."

"He also isn't lacking in schemes or methods. He knows how to manipulate people's hearts—even this old man was manipulated by him. I think that if you had shown him even the slightest hostility at the time, you would already be dead."

Hearing this, Meng Yiran could not help feeling a wave of fear. Then she heard Meng Shu say:

"A person like that is, in my opinion, the most likely among these 'Fellow Transmigrators' to reach the end."

"And judging from the fact that he spared you, he certainly hasn't been in love before, which means he can't be very old."

"Based on my deductions, his actual age is at most a little over thirty."

"That counts as very young among those Fellow Transmigrators."

Meng Yiran's pretty face flushed. "Grandpa, you..."

Meng Shu said, "What? Are you unwilling, or are you concerned that he killed your younger brother?"

"That beast occupied my younger brother's body and even tried to kill me. Why would I care whether he lived or died?" Meng Yiran snorted coldly.

"Then you're worried about his appearance," Meng Shu said.

Meng Yiran said nothing, clearly taking that as a given.

After all, no girl would not care about her partner's appearance. Someone who claimed otherwise simply did not exist.

Meng Shu sighed. "Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Besides, our Dragon Snake Family truly has no right to wade into these turbulent waters. Meng Baichuan was killed this time, while Yiran narrowly escaped death. For us, that may not be a bad thing."

"Then how do you plan to handle this matter?" Chao Tianxiang asked with a frown.

Meng Shu said coldly, "Didn't that little wolf cub say he wanted to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth ring? Send word to that boy Flender and tell him that he exploded and died while absorbing the ten-thousand-year fourth ring."

"As for Yiran, she's already a Soul Ancestor, so she can graduate from Shrek directly. Afterward, she'll attend Exotic Beast Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"What about the Imperial Scale Armor? It's the External Soul Bone of our Dragon Snake Family. Even if that little wolf cub is dead, it should still be returned to Yiran." Chao Tianxiang was still unwilling to let go of that Soul Bone.

Dragon Duke merely said one sentence, instantly silencing her. "Old woman, you don't want the Dragon Snake Family to be wiped out over a Soul Bone, do you?"
