Tang San Is Dead? How Come I Didn't Know!

The cave wasn't large, and a cold, damp atmosphere wafted out.

The cave was dark and quiet, pitch black and deep, so dark that one could hardly see their hand in front of their face.

Only a few rays of light filtered through the curtain of water from the waterfall, casting a hazy glow inside.

Ning Wen took out a tinderbox from his storage space.

The faint light illuminated the road ahead.

The cave passages extend inwards in layers, and the ground underfoot is constantly damp, slippery, muddy, and covered with fine gravel, making it extremely difficult to walk.

As Ning Wen steadily ventured deeper, he felt the cold, damp chill of the cave gradually recede, replaced by a completely different aura that slowly spread out.

That was the purest, most magnificent, and boundless breath of life.

It is gentle and mild, clear and lingering, like the first warm breeze of early spring thawing, brushing through the body and mind, refreshing the soul, making people feel relaxed and naturally feeling close to it.

"Blue Silver Emperor." Ning Wen raised an eyebrow, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

After passing through the last winding passage, a neat natural stone chamber suddenly appeared before us.

A natural round opening has appeared in the rock wall at the top of the stone chamber, through which sunlight pours down, forming a golden beam that shines precisely on the earthen mound in the center of the chamber.

The mound was neatly surrounded by a ring of rubble, its outline regular, clearly the result of someone's careful and deliberate work.

A Blue Silver Grass was growing on it.

A unique Blue Silver Grass.

Its veins are long and graceful, and its entire body is covered with an extremely luxurious blue-gold color. It is crystal clear, as if it were carved and refined from the purest blue crystal in the world, without a speck of dust.

Each leaf is surrounded by a faint, shimmering blue halo, gently spreading.

However, the edges of the leaves of this Blue Silver Grass had an abnormal curl.

It seemed to have lost its vitality, exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.

But how bad is this Blue Silver Grass's condition!

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Ning Wen's gaze fell on the Blue Silver Grass, and he sighed softly.

This is what happened to the dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, the supreme plant-type spirit beast, after its sacrifice.

They lived in a cave where the sun never shone, surviving only on a small patch of sunlight overhead.

If it were a regular Blue Silver Grass, it would probably have died long ago.

Xiao Wu, who was right behind her, froze the moment she saw the Blue Silver Grass.

Those big, watery eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"This... this aura..."

Her voice was trembling.

"It's truly Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

As a fellow Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she was extremely sensitive to the aura of her own kind.

The life force emanating from this Blue Silver Grass is definitely at the level of a hundred thousand years old.

If she's not mistaken, this should be the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, whom Tang Hao schemed against, and who is also Tang San's mother.

[Little Rabbit, you have some discernment, but your knowledge is rather shallow!]

[Unlike This Seat, who is learned in ancient and modern times, and knows all the secrets of the world.]

[This is the Blue Silver Emperor, the supreme among plant-type Soul Beast. Unfortunately, due to his love-struck mind, he sacrificed himself, damaging his very essence, which led to his current precarious existence.]

Ning Wen's lips twitched slightly.

Good grief, he's bragging again!

A scholar with profound knowledge of both ancient and modern times!

He knows all the secrets of the world!

I'm so awesome, how come I don't know it myself?

Why don't you just say you're omniscient and omnipotent?

Doesn't this seem more sophisticated?

Ning Wen said with a playful tone, "Xiao Wu, guess what her relationship with Tang San is?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu secretly rolled her eyes, feigning astonishment, and blurted out, "Wait! Brother Wen, this Blue Silver Emperor, isn't that Tang San's mother?"

"That's right." Ning Wen nodded.

"Why did she become like this?" Xiao Wu asked with difficulty, her mouth slightly open.

"Just as you thought, she chose to sacrifice herself to save Tang Hao and his son Tang San."

Ning Wen shrugged.

"That bastard Tang Hao is too much! Sister Ah Yin gave everything for him, and he just planted Ah Yin like a weed in a place like this?"

Xiao Wu clenched her fists tightly, indignantly saying, "There's no sunlight here! Forget Plant-type Soul Beast, even ordinary weeds can't survive!"

It's important to know that the Blue Silver Emperor is a plant.

For plants, sunlight is the most important thing.

Hearing this, Ning Wen was slightly taken aback.

Ning Wen wasn't surprised that Xiao Wu could recognize the Blue Silver Emperor.

The opponent was, after all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

But he shouldn't have mentioned the name Ah Yin, right?

Did Xiao Wu and Ah Yin know each other before?

But it doesn't look like it!

The mysterious force has worked once again.

Never mind, these are all trivial matters.

[That's why This Seat said Tang Hao only treated the Blue Silver Emperor as a tool, and didn't care about her at all; otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned her in this dark and gloomy place.]

[They even claim it's for security reasons, but who knows the truth?]

[It could be out of guilt, or it could be a desire to reuse her in the future.]

A cold, blunt, and ruthless voice rang out, each word sharp and cutting through all pretense of warmth.

The leaves of the Blue Silver Grass trembled violently.

Ah Yin herself heard all these thoughts and feelings.

"No, Brother Hao isn't like that, he must have his reasons..."

For years, she huddled in this dark underground, enduring loneliness and decay alone.

Countless days and nights, she desperately tried to find excuses for Tang Hao, weaving layers of shackles with her past love, deceiving herself into believing that Brother Hao had his reasons.

He had no choice.

He must still have her in his heart.

But now, the truth bluntly exposed by these outsiders is like the sharpest blade, brutally dissecting all the lies she had used to numb herself.

The seemingly indestructible heart of hers finally developed an irreparable crack.

"Still conscious?"

Ning Wen raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The Blue Silver Emperor, aged 100,000 years, was indeed extraordinary; the Seed of Life left behind after the sacrifice could still retain a portion of its consciousness.

It's important to know that after Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er sacrificed themselves in the original story, they left nothing behind, let alone any part of their consciousness.

[Oh, so it is conscious after all?]

[Speaking of which, the life of the Blue Silver Emperor was truly tragic!]

[She was tricked into being sacrificed by her husband, and even her own son had long since died!]

Boom!

That last sentence was like a thunderclap from the heavens, suddenly exploding in Ah Yin's ears!

"My Little San... my Little San is dead!"

The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor Grass froze instantly, and the entire blue-gold plant drooped abruptly.

The previously faint flow of life suddenly became disordered and dissipated.

Xiao Wu looked completely bewildered.

Tang San is dead?

How come I didn't know that!

That guy is still perfectly fine today, isn't he?

How could he die!
