[Martial Soul: Blue Silver King (Little Blue)] [Status: Extremely full of herself] [Affection: 78/100 (Attachment)] [Hmph! Did you see that? When this queen makes her move, who can rival her!] [From now on, baby belongs exclusively to this queen! Anyone who dares touch him will be whipped to death!]
Tang Tian pressed a hand to his forehead.
Looking at that string of mortifying words on the screen, he felt his head ache.
It was over.
Originally, all he had at home was a tsundere, violent, twin-tailed Little Iron Hammer in charge of eating and fighting.
Now he had a queen with the air of a domineering female CEO too?
"Gentle? Gloomy?"
Tang Tian looked at those words overflowing with swagger and gave a wry laugh.
"What the hell does any of this have to do with the original setup?"
But he soon calmed down.
He began analyzing the logic behind it.
The root of all this was undoubtedly the enormous difference in power brought about by Little Blue's evolution from ordinary Blue Silver Grass into a Blue Silver King.
In the psychological concepts Tang Tian knew from his previous life.
This was a classic case of "nouveau riche psychological compensation."
It was like a girl who had once felt inferior about her looks and always walked with her head down.
Suddenly undergoing successful plastic surgery or blossoming as she grew up, becoming a peerless beauty.
To sever herself completely from her former humble, timid self.
She would often bend the crooked stick too far the other way.
Arming herself with an extremely flamboyant, even arrogant attitude.
"I'm no longer that little blade of grass anyone can trample! I'm a king! I'll show you how fierce I am!"
That was roughly the mindset!
Although this mindset could bring temporary satisfaction, it was extremely unhealthy.
Little Blue, at that moment.
Was like someone playing a clumsy game of "queen role-play."
She used a domineering shell.
To fiercely protect the little girl deep inside who was still afraid of being abandoned and afraid of not being good enough.
Just as Tang Tian was deep in thought.
Something stirred at the other end of his Sea of Consciousness.
Little Iron Hammer had clearly noticed the change in her next-door neighbor too.
She did not feel threatened. Instead, she let out an undisguised sneer.
[Well, well, look at that nouveau riche attitude.]
[You've only gotten a tiny bit stronger, and your tail's already sticking up into the sky?]
[You really think changing your skin makes you a queen? A country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin.]
In her eyes, Little Blue's current behavior was like a concubine challenging the principal wife, so childish it was adorable.
Outside, in the real world.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had also gathered around by then, each wearing a different expression.
Tang San looked at the wreckage littering the ground and those absurdly thick vines.
His eyes were filled with shock and admiration, and he could not help asking:
"Big Brother... how did your Blue Silver Grass become so powerful?"
Tang San clenched his fists.
He had been deeply shaken.
He had originally thought that, having absorbed a Limit-Breaking Soul Ring.
He already counted among the best of his peers.
But looking at things now.
The explosive power Big Brother had displayed just now was like a disaster of rampaging pythons.
The pressure of his Martial Soul alone had instantly defeated Xiao Chenyu.
Big Brother's talent really is far above mine. To think I was feeling smug over a little achievement just now. I really shouldn't have!
The path of cultivation is like rowing upstream. I must never slack off!
Flames of fighting spirit blazed in Tang San's eyes.
He had once again sunk deeper into his own overblown assumptions.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was focused on something completely different.
She came close to Tang Tian.
Her little pink nose sniffed at him.
Her brows drooped into a cute inverted V as she said in puzzlement:
"Strange..."
"What's strange?" Tang Tian came back to his senses.
"Brother Tang Tian, your scent has changed."
Xiao Wu tilted her head, analyzing it with a serious expression.
"Before, your aura was soft and sweet, with the sweet fragrance of fresh grass. But now..."
Xiao Wu sneezed. "Why is there a spicy scent now?"
"A spicy scent?" The corner of Tang Tian's mouth twitched.
Xiao Wu nodded emphatically.
"The kind that's really pungent and overbearing, like it's going to make your mouth swell from the heat!"
Tang Tian understood.
His scent had not actually changed.
Rather, Little Blue's highly aggressive Soul Power fluctuations were spilling out.
They had affected the keen perception Xiao Wu possessed as someone who had undergone Soul Beast Transformation.
This also indirectly confirmed Little Blue's current state.
She was forcibly changing her underlying nature.
I can't let her keep going like this.
Tang Tian said inwardly.
Although the domineering Little Blue was indeed powerful in combat.
If she kept living with this false personality.
Sooner or later, the collapse of her self-perception would drive her into madness.
Affecting the stability of his Martial Soul.
This is a blessing, not a calamity. Since the problem has come to light, it needs treating.
Tang Tian's gaze softened.
Little Blue's inferiority was carved into her bones.
Even after becoming a king, that fear of being abandoned still remained.
To cure her, an increase in power alone was not enough.
He needed strong medicine-emotional therapy.
Tang Tian swiftly devised a [Plan to Save the Tsundere Queen Little Blue]:
First, a date and a heart-to-heart, to pull that lofty queen back down.
Second, a trip down memory lane. He would take her back through the memories of when they were both at their weakest and depended on each other to survive.
He had to make her understand that what he, Tang Tian, liked was not that powerful Blue Silver King.
But that little blade of grass that stayed with him through wind and rain.
Finally, give her a sense of security! He had to tell her clearly that, in this family, she did not need to pretend.
Nor did she need to compare herself with anyone. She was one of a kind.
Having made up his mind.
Tang Tian patted Tang San's shoulder and said with an air of profundity:
"Little San, everyone has their own path."
"My Blue Silver Grass is strong because there's something in its heart it wants to protect."
"As long as you stay on your own path, you'll grow stronger too."
Tang San nodded!
[Little Blue (Arrogant)] [Affection: 78/100 (Attachment)] [Of course this queen will protect her beloved baby!]
Tang Tian: ...
Little Blue, you're getting far too deep into character!
After fooling his little brother, Tang Tian turned to fooling Xiao Wu.
"What spicy scent? That's the aura of a mature man."
"All right, now that the fight's over, I'm tired too. I'm going back to the dorm for a nap."
As soon as he returned to the dorm.
Tang Tian flopped stiffly onto the bed like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
"I'm done. Today's battle took too much out of me. I need to sleep to recover my Soul Power. Nobody call me. Calling me would be murder."
With that, he shut his eyes and pulled the covers over his head.
His breathing instantly became steady and drawn-out, as though he had truly fallen asleep in a second.
Tang San had just been about to ask Big Brother for details about his Blue Silver Grass's mutation.
Seeing this, he could only swallow his words.
He looked at Tang Tian's peaceful sleeping face.
A measure of admiration and self-reproach appeared in his eyes.
Although Big Brother made it sound easy, he defeated three people in a single strike just now and even controlled the entire patch of Blue Silver Grass. He must have overdrawn a huge amount of mental power...
Tang San took a deep breath.
Silently, he began practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
I can't slack off either. I'll cultivate all night tonight!
On the other side, Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes.
Looking at Tang Tian's bed, she gently twitched her little nostrils.
"Why does Brother Tang Tian's scent seem even stronger even though he's asleep?"
