Looking at Tang Sanmei's appearance that resembled an old friend, Tang Xiao's heart softened. The killing intent on his face instantly vanished, and he rubbed his hands somewhat flustresly,
"Ah, it's... it's you. Uncle... no, Sanmei, I am your Uncle Tang Xiao. Quickly put that iron box away so you don't hurt yourself."
The dignified Howling Sky Douluo and Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect currently looked like a flustered, foolish giant.
However, although the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in Tang Sanmei's hands lowered its aiming direction from his head to his chest, her little face remained stern,
"Uncle, logically speaking, Sanmei should kowtow and pay her respects to you. But the Sect Master is the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, and he is the person Sanmei has sworn allegiance to. The moment you walked in, you were shouting about killing and beating my Sect Master, which does not follow the rules. You must apologize to my Sect Master first before Sanmei can acknowledge you as her uncle."
"?"
The smile on Tang Xiao's face froze.
Apologize?
Apologize for what?
How many years had it been, and there was actually still someone who dared to make him apologize?
Tang Xiao stiffly turned his head to look at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, however, merely poked his lips out toward him, chuckled twice, and used Sound Transmission to say,
"Big brother, you might as well just honestly apologize. This girl's temper is extremely stubborn; otherwise, she will never acknowledge you as her uncle in this lifetime."
"I am the dignified Howling Sky Douluo!"
"She is your only niece."
"I am the dignified Clear Sky Sect Master."
"She is your only niece."
"I am the dignified... Do you have anything else to say?"
Tang Hao thought for a moment, chuckled, and counted on his fingers one by one.
"The only young miss of the Clear Sky Sect, Ah Yin's only flesh and blood, the only descendant of the Clear Sky Sect's direct lineage, and..."
At this point, he feigned profundity and said,
"Big brother, you probably don't know yet. In fact, this girl not only has Innate Full Soul Power, but she also possesses Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Huo Family Boy! It was my fault today! My words just now were quite offensive, and I, Tang Xiao, am here to make amends!"
Holy crap!
Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Xiao did not hesitate at all as he directly cupped his fists toward Huo Yuhao and apologized with a stern expression.
At this moment, the entire room fell into a dead silence.
Tang Hao, who had been preparing to watch his big brother caught in a dilemma so he could seize the opportunity to mock him a couple of times, almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Cough, cough, cough, big brother, where is your face?"
Tang Hao dryly coughed twice and looked at Tang Xiao in disbelief,
"Where is the unyielding spine of a Titled Douluo? Where is the majesty of the number one sect master in the world?"
"An unyielding spine is worth crap, and majesty isn't worth a few copper coins."
Tang Xiao glared fiercely at Tang Hao and cursed back via Sound Transmission,
"Twin Martial Souls, Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer! If she gets coaxed away by someone else, when I go underground after a hundred years, wouldn't our grandfather and our dad beat me to death!"
Are you kidding me?
Ah Yin's own flesh and blood combined with the twin martial soul Clear Sky Hammer.
This was already the number one little ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect in a hundred years.
Never mind apologizing to this kid, he would even gladly serve him a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Tang Sanmei, who was standing in front of Huo Yuhao, relaxed the coldness on her little face by a fraction.
After all, since her aunt was already so wonderful, she naturally did not want to come into conflict with her uncle.
"Sect Master, this elder's attitude is sincere and his etiquette is thorough. Sanmei believes he can be befriended."
Sitting in his chair, Huo Yuhao could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
As expected of someone capable of becoming the master of the number one sect in the world.
This decisive momentum was truly much stronger than some stubborn brute who only knew how to talk back.
Tang Hao: "???"
"Sect Master Tang exaggerates."
Huo Yuhao stood up, cupped his hands in a return salute,
"You were only concerned for Sanmei's safety and acting out of eagerness as an elder, so the junior naturally understands."
Then, he turned to say to Sanmei,
"Sanmei, your uncle's heart is entirely filled with you. Hurry and put the repeating crossbow away and pay your respects to your elder."
"Yes!"
Tang Sanmei flipped her wrist, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was stowed away into her soul tool.
Immediately afterward, she lifted her skirt, walked up to Tang Xiao, bowed, and crisp-voicedly called out,
"Niece Tang Sanmei pays respects to uncle."
"Ah! Ah! Good child, quickly get up, quickly get up!"
Tang Xiao's face beamed with radiance at being called by this title, and his two hands cautiously helped Tang Sanmei up. The once resolute and dignified face was now smiling with full wrinkles, and his mouth was almost split to the back of his head.
She looked just like her!
She looked way too much like her!
This gentleness and delicate intelligence between her eyebrows were carved from the exact same mold as Ah Yin back then.
Most importantly, this child also held a Clear Sky Hammer in her hands!
The more Tang Xiao looked, the more he liked her.
"Alright, big brother, second brother."
Left neglected on the side, Tang Yuehua could no longer endure it and interrupted this little drama,
"Can you big men just quiet down for a bit! If the medicinal power of the divine herb that Yuhao managed to bring back dissipates, can you afford to compensate for it?"
"Hurry up and protect me while I meditate!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao shrank their necks under the scolding, completely devoid of temper.
Her natural Level 9 was the greatest regret in the hearts of the two brothers.
As long as she could break this curse for her, never mind protecting her meditation, even if it meant having them both go fight Qian Daoliu...
Well, scratch that last part.
"Alright, Yuehua, rest assured. With me and your second brother here, absolutely nothing will go wrong."
Tang Xiao let out a low drink, and his soul power quietly spread out to seal off the entire room.
Tang Hao also silently retreated to the balcony window.
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the soft couch.
Under Huo Yuhao's signal, she guided that Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma into her mouth and slowly swallowed it.
The medicinal power entered her abdomen, and her blocked meridians instantly dissolved.
Level 10.
Level 11.
Level 12.
The aura belonging to a soul master rose within Tang Yuehua's body.
The curse that originally made cultivation impossible was also broken open at this moment.
The eye sockets of the two body-guarding stalwart men turned red.
This was what the Clear Sky Sect owed Yuehua.
Taking advantage of this interval, Huo Yuhao pulled out a chair and sat down.
Holding the Aromatic Silk Beauty Companion Grass that exuded a faint fragrance, Xiao Wu crowded close to his side, her large eyes blinking as she stared at him.
Huo Yuhao poured himself a cup of cold tea and pondered to himself.
Through the enhancement of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in the Sunset Forest, his physical body was currently extremely formidable.
Immune to water and fire, immune to all poisons, and his spiritual power had surged even further.
The soul power within his body had also reached Level 30.
He only needed a single soul ring as a catalyst to become a true soul elder in one breath.
As for the third soul ring, he had long since had a clear target in his mind.
The Ten Thousand Year Purple Spirit Civet.
In his previous life in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Zi captured Qiu'er alive, which forced the Scarlet King to use a dying Ten Thousand Year Purple Spirit Civet as a ransom for the exchange.
The group-weakening effect attached to that soul ring was simply an unreasonable divine skill during team battles.
Although the limit for an ordinary soul master's third soul ring would top out at around one thousand seven hundred years, he, Huo Yuhao, had now undergone the dual-herb body tempering along with powerful spiritual power, giving him ample capital to absorb a ten thousand year soul ring at Level 30.
Moreover, a rare mental-attribute soul beast like the Purple Spirit Civet could only be found within the Star Dou Great Forest.
