Ch. 101Tang San, Ah Yin Wants to Fall in Love [4K]
Key plot points and events
- Chu Ge discovers that the mysterious woman waiting by the Golden Ancient Tree is Ah Yin, Tang San’s mother and the Blue Silver Emperor. She is merging with the tree and its divine power, which conceals her from others.
- Ah Yin is shy, emotionally inexperienced, and strongly drawn to Chu Ge. After asking him to come closer, she introduces herself, learns his name, asks if he is happy, and impulsively hugs him before fleeing in embarrassment.
- Chu Ge suspects her childlike behavior is a side effect of merging with the Golden Ancient Tree—and that Tang San may not know what is happening. He sees Ah Yin’s affection as a major advantage, since she is central to Tang San and Tang Hao’s plans to control the Douluo Plane.
- Meanwhile, Tang San worries that the Ice God and Fire God have successors connected to the Douluo Continent, potentially disrupting his ambitions. Tang Hao reassures him that once Ah Yin absorbs the Golden Ancient Tree and he becomes Plane God, they will control the continent.
- Unaware of their plans, Ah Yin reflects on conversations she overheard about love and realizes that her longing to see Chu Ge and be near him means she likes him.
