Douluo Continent!

The Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest!

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had noticed the Sky Screen, too.

The Titan Giant Ape scratched his backside, unease flashing through his yellow-brown eyes.

"Big brother, do you want to sacrifice yourself?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python was silent for a long time.

"No. Do you?"

The Titan Giant Ape chuckled.

"Of course I don't. What normal Soul Beast would want to fucking sacrifice itself?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.

"Pathetic!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python went on:

"Next time Bibi Dong enters the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll be careful. We can't let her corner us. When it's time to run, we run."

Papal Hall!

After hearing Xiao Ran's words from the Sky Screen, Bibi Dong and her disciple Hu Liena both fell silent.

The teacher and disciple had once been as close as mother and daughter, but a rift had opened between them. It was like a tiny thorn: easy to overlook, yet one slight movement sent pain stabbing through the heart.

Bibi Dong parted her red lips, then swept a complicated glance over Hu Liena beside her.

She had treated Hu Liena so well, better even than her own daughter, Qian Renxue.

Yet Hu Liena had still betrayed her, costing her the chance to kill the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape and absorb their Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

Did that mean Hu Liena had played a part in her death at Tang San's hands? Without those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, her foundation had been too weak, leaving her no match for Tang San after she became a god.

Hu Liena's face went deathly pale. She had considered tipping Tang San off, but she had never imagined it would have such terrible consequences.

She had only wanted her teacher and Tang San to coexist peacefully.

"Teacher, I didn't think that far ahead. Please believe me. I only wanted to repay Tang San for what he did for me. Then I could serve you without anything holding me back..."

Bibi Dong's voice turned colder. There was no telling what she felt, but it left a bitter ache in Hu Liena's heart.

"Say no more, Nana. Focus on your cultivation. You needn't stay by my side every day from now on."

Blue Star!

Qian Renxue knew Hu Liena, of course. She was her mother Bibi Dong's disciple, treated like a daughter, and Qian Renxue had once felt rather jealous of her.

"How could Hu Liena do that? She betrayed her own teacher for some man from outside!"

Xiao Ran leaned against the sofa and shot Qian Renxue a sidelong glance.

"You're hardly one to talk."

"If you hadn't held back, Tang San might never have become a god."

Qian Renxue drew in her snow-white swan neck and gave him a sheepish smile, like a star pupil caught not paying attention in class.

"Heh. That was because the so-called plot controlled me. I'm not some brainless woman. Tang San killed my father, and he will die by my hand."

Seeing her like that, Xiao Ran shook his head and laughed.

"Tang San used Sea God's Light to return Xiao Wu's soul to her body. He gave her back her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and she came back to life."

"Sea God's Light was an incredibly versatile power. Tang San used Xiao Wu's resurrection as an opportunity to replace every one of his old Soul Rings. Hundred-Year Soul Rings, Thousand-Year Soul Rings—he swapped them all for rings over fifty thousand years old, slaughtering every high-level Soul Beast in Sunset Forest."

"And Tang San told Xiao Wu he only killed evil Soul Beasts. Who got to decide whether a Soul Beast was evil?"

"That's right. Tang San."

"Every Soul Beast he killed was an evil Soul Beast. In truth, you Soul Masters kill Soul Beasts to break through, regardless of good or evil. But Tang San insisted on presenting himself as pure as ice and spotless as jade."

"Before killing a Soul Beast, he had to brand it evil. Later, when he added Soul Rings to his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, he showed no mercy at all."

Qian Renxue laughed in exasperation.

"How can Tang San be so ridiculous?"

"Every Soul Beast he kills is supposedly evil? How can he be such a hypocrite with such a double standard?"

Xiao Ran said, amusement written all over his face:

"That's what the Tang family likes. Tang Hao married Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form, and they had Tang San. Tang San married Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who had taken human form, and they had a son, Tang Wulin. Then Tang Wulin married Gu Yuena, another Soul Beast who had taken human form."

"Their child was born as an egg. After hatching, the child awakened a Martial Soul and could form Soul Rings on their own with each breakthrough. Whether that still counted as human was anyone's guess."

Qian Renxue parted her soft pink lips...

Was that still a human?

They could form their own Soul Rings!

That wasn't human anymore. That was a fucking Soul Beast in human form.

She burst out cursing:

"Traitor to humanity! Tang San is a traitor to humanity. His family keeps marrying Soul Beasts and diluting their human blood. He doesn't deserve to be called human. He's a beast!"

Douluo Continent!

Heaven Dou Imperial City!

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Liu Erlong, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo fell silent too.

They had never imagined Tang San's family would keep marrying Soul Beasts generation after generation, changing their bloodline until the children they produced were Soul Beasts in human form.

The Soul Beasts he wanted to kill were all evil.

The Soul Beasts he liked were all good.

He decided whether Soul Beasts were good or evil based on his own likes and dislikes. Among all the Soul Masters Douluo Continent had seen through the ages, none had ever been this absurd.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like an ox as he cursed the Sky Screen:

"What do you mean, that's what the Tang family likes? Ah Yin and I truly loved each other! That evil Qian Xunji coveted her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Ah Yin was so kind—how could he bring himself to attack her?"

"Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran!! I'll remember you. If I ever get the chance to enter Higher-Dimensional Space, I'll tear you to pieces and pound you into meat paste."

Sea God Island!

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like an ox as he cursed the Sky Screen:

"What do you mean, that's what the Tang family likes? Xiao Wu and I truly love each other! That evil Bibi Dong coveted her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Xiao Wu is so kind—how could she bring herself to attack her?"

"Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran!! I only kill evil Soul Beasts. That's how much I love Xiao Wu. For her sake, I'm willing to love the entire Soul Beast race."

"I'm a hypocrite? I have double standards? I am God King Tang, pure as ice and spotless as jade. You'd better pray you never fall into my hands."

Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were bound to Tang San by their shared interests. Though they said nothing, they all looked at him strangely.

They were Soul Masters, and they had all hunted Soul Beasts.

When hunting a Soul Beast, what mattered was whether its attributes suited your own. Who cared whether it was good or evil?

And wasn't his standard for judging good and evil just a little too absurd?

The Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Fortunately, the Silver Dragon King was still asleep, and the other Ferocious Beasts did not know her real name. Otherwise, the place would already have been in an uproar.

Their ruler would marry Tang San's son and give birth to a Soul Beast in human form whose bloodline was nearly pure.

Just thinking about it was madness!
