Just as Su Mo finally hunted a Ghost Blade Mantis with over fifty thousand years of cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest and successfully obtained his Seventh Soul Skill: Spirit Avatar.
Elsewhere, in a remote village somewhere in Fanos Province of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Half a month had passed since Tang Hao's father, Tang Zhen, had sent back his letter.
Feeling that his father, Tang Zhen, should have more or less arranged a residence and personnel in Lanxia City to help his wife Ah Yin with her pregnancy and delivery, Tang Hao eagerly suggested taking Ah Yin out for a stroll to clear her mind.
Clearly, Tang Hao believed his father and wanted to give Ah Yin a surprise, easing her dissatisfaction with Tang Zhen.
At first, Ah Yin refused Tang Hao's suggestion that they go out for a walk.
She had not yet reached maturity, and with her pregnancy, even a Soul Douluo could now see through her true form. Going to a major city was simply too dangerous!
But in the end, Ah Yin truly could not withstand Tang Hao's persistent coaxing.
Tang Hao repeatedly assured her that he would only take her to the nearby medium-sized city called Lanxia City. The strongest Soul Masters there were at most Soul Saints, so there was no way they would be discovered.
Ultimately, moved by her husband's concern, Ah Yin reluctantly agreed to go with Tang Hao to Lanxia City for a walk and relax.
Thus, Tang Hao set off for Lanxia City with Ah Yin.
Meanwhile, in Zifeng City near Lanxia City.
Having just finished his inspection at the Spirit Hall Branch in the city, Qian Xunji was preparing to leave with the accompanying Martial Soul Hall Knights and ceremonial guard, heading for nearby Lanxia City.
Within a lush forest, a luxurious carriage sped along the broad road between the trees.
Its wooden wheels rapidly rolled over the dead branches and fallen leaves scattered across the ground, leaving clear ruts in the road as it raced onward.
Inside the carriage sat a man and a woman.
The man was tall and powerfully built, his body covered in muscle and brimming with strength. His grayish-brown clothes hung open, revealing his broad, sturdy chest, while his long hair was tied back beneath a gray headscarf, exposing a resolute face.
The woman wore a beautiful blue-silver dress, her white stockings outlining the graceful curves of her slender legs. Because she was pregnant, her belly was prominently swollen, and her full breasts were especially eye-catching.
At that moment, she gently stroked her pregnant belly, her lovely and radiant face filled with tenderness and motherly affection.
The man beside her wore the same tenderness and eagerness to please on his resolute face as he continuously fussed over her.
These two were naturally Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
"Hao Ge, how much longer until we reach Lanxia City?"
Sitting in the carriage, Ah Yin looked at the verdant, flourishing forest beyond the window. As she gently caressed her belly, she asked Tang Hao beside her.
"Hehe, don't worry, we're almost there. We've been living in seclusion in that village for so long. Once we get to the city, I'll take you to eat something good and properly nourish our child."
Hearing Ah Yin's words, Tang Hao glanced outside through the carriage window and saw Lanxia City already visible in the distance. He pulled Ah Yin into his arms and replied with a smile.
The carriage traveled quickly, entering Lanxia City just over ten minutes later.
After arriving in Lanxia City, Tang Hao immediately took his wife to a luxurious restaurant. After reserving a private room, he ordered plenty of foods highly beneficial to pregnant women.
Once the pair had lovingly finished their meal.
Tang Hao took Ah Yin out of the restaurant, planning to first take her around Lanxia City and then buy some baby clothes and various daily necessities on the pedestrian streets.
After all, his wife had been pregnant for nearly ten months. She would probably give birth soon.
As for finding a way to contact someone from the Clear Sky Sect and locate the residence his father Tang Zhen had arranged for him, Tang Hao was in no rush.
The Clear Sky Sect's blacksmith shops could be found in nearly every major city, so he could find one whenever he wished.
For now, he planned to take Ah Yin around Lanxia City until nightfall. Then, he would get a room at an inn, and after Ah Yin fell asleep, he would go to one of the Clear Sky Sect's blacksmith shops and have someone take him to the residence his father had arranged.
Once he had prepared everything in advance, he would bring Ah Yin over and give his wife a proper surprise!
However, just as Tang Hao was shopping with Ah Yin in Lanxia City.
At the same time, Qian Xunji finally entered Lanxia City in his ceremonial carriage, accompanied by Spirit Hall's ceremonial guard and knights in a grand procession.
This immediately drew the residents of all Lanxia City to watch and cheer.
In just a few minutes, the city's main street was packed so tightly with onlookers that not even water could pass through!
As for Tang Hao and Ah Yin, they were still shopping on one of Lanxia City's pedestrian streets. Since it was not on the main street, they did not immediately know what was happening there.
However, after the couple had finished strolling through one pedestrian street.
As they turned back to leave for another, they finally noticed that something seemed to have happened in Lanxia City. Both sides of the main street were packed with dense crowds.
Driven by humanity's common love of spectacle, the two could not help walking over curiously, wanting to see what had happened.
Could some famous dance troupe or acrobatic troupe from the continent have come to Lanxia City?
Just as Tang Hao and Ah Yin headed toward Lanxia City's main street, filled with curiosity.
Not far away, Qian Xunji, dressed in golden Pope's robes, wearing a golden crown, and holding the Pope's Scepter, sat in a magnificent ceremonial carriage. With a gentle smile, he continuously waved to the watching crowds around him.
Accompanied by the gongs and drums of the ceremonial guard on either side, and followed by a vast procession of knights, he slowly advanced along Lanxia City's main street.
As Qian Xunji smiled and continuously waved to the surrounding crowds.
Suddenly, a hazy mass of silver-blue Soul Power approaching from not far away caught Qian Xunji's attention.
In Qian Xunji's eyes, the hazy silver-blue mass of Soul Power approached at an unhurried pace, occasionally condensing along the way into a strange plant whose vines and leaves resembled blue crystals and were covered in golden patterns.
"What is that..."
Seeing this sight, Qian Xunji froze for a moment, unable to understand what was happening.
But after Qian Xunji rose into the air, when he looked down at the hazy blue mass of Soul Power from above, a married couple entered his field of vision.
The husband was nothing remarkable.
But in Qian Xunji's eyes, the pregnant wife's body overlapped with a strange plant whose vines and leaves resembled blue crystals and were covered in golden patterns.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji immediately recognized that the pregnant woman was not human, but a plant Soul Beast with one hundred thousand years of cultivation that had taken human form!
Because she was pregnant and her aura was leaking out, the Soul Power she emitted had condensed in the air into the image of her original form.
For a moment, Qian Xunji was overcome with ecstasy, laughing wildly in his heart.
What incredible luck—fortune had fallen from the heavens while he was walking down the road! He, Qian Xunji, had actually encountered a one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in human form. This was simply heaven-sent luck!
