"Little San, you may be wondering why I became like this, but you're still too young. Haotian Gege~ told me that I can't let you learn the truth too early!"
Ah Yin gently stroked Tang San's lovely hair.
Her own daughter was so beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous—a lovely young girl who could absolutely captivate countless handsome young men!
But what was wrong with her Daughter? She only had three leaves covering her entire body.
Would this even pass review?
Before Ah Yin could finish worrying about Tang San's condition, Tang San suddenly clenched her fists and said resentfully:
"Mom, even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess!"
Xiao Yexuan had previously told Tang San about Tang Hao and let her know that Tang Hao was the youngest Titled Douluo in the world.
He possessed a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring.
He was incomparably powerful.
She also knew that her family had a grudge against Spirit Hall.
Xiao Yexuan had not told Tang San anything else.
But even then, Tang San had guessed that it was probably because of her mother, whom she had never met.
Or perhaps she had been killed by someone from Spirit Hall.
But now, Tang San finally learned that her mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had undergone Human Form Transformation.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an enormous treasure. Spirit Hall must have set its sights on Ah Yin, leading to the tragedy that followed.
Damn Spirit Hall. Tang San remembered this too. One day, she would uproot Spirit Hall completely!
"Little San, so you... already knew. Haotian Gege~ honestly, telling you something so serious so early. You must understand, my Little San cannot grow up living in hatred. You have to grow up happy."
Ah Yin spoke with immense heartache.
Although Tang San had not learned these things from her father, she did not say much more.
Tang San had thoroughly felt Ah Yin's love and concern for her just now.
Was this maternal love? It was so wonderful, so deeply yearned for.
Afterward, Tang San and Ah Yin talked here for a long time. Tang San told her many things, but she did not mention Xiao Yexuan.
As expected of Tang San's mother, Ah Yin saw that Tang San was wearing only three leaves and used Blue Silver Grass to make her an outfit that covered a large area.
It made Tang San look less like a Succubus.
"Mom, I should go back. I still have things to do, so I can't stay here forever. But I'll come see you again in the future."
Tang San looked at the sky and felt that Xiao Yexuan should be returning after heading out.
Once Xiao Yexuan returned and found that she was not where she had been, he would definitely use some special method to find her.
Tang San did not want Xiao Yexuan to know of Ah Yin's existence, so she had to leave early.
"Little San, you've grown up too. You have things of your own to do. Mom won't keep you locked by her side. Go on~!"
Ah Yin was incredibly gentle and understanding.
Tang San's heart was about to melt. She truly loved such a wonderful mother.
If Ah Yin had been by her side since childhood, Tang San was certain that she would have been the happiest child in the world.
It was all that damned Spirit Hall's fault for separating them. Spirit Hall could just wait to die!
Tang San reluctantly left Ah Yin and returned along the way she had come.
Tang San did not know where she was, so she remained at the spot where she had regained consciousness.
She waited for Xiao Yexuan to come find her.
Sure enough, just as Tang San expected, Xiao Yexuan really did find her.
This made Tang San even more certain that Xiao Yexuan had some way of tracking her location.
Good thing she had not run away directly.
Having found Tang San, Xiao Yexuan naturally had to put on an act.
He said to Tang San with a hint of anger:
"Little San San, you actually snuck off here. Are you asking to have your butt spanked?"
Tang San had long prepared an excuse. She put on an aggrieved expression, hugged Xiao Yexuan's leg, and whimpered:
"Master... Master meow~! You finally found me meow~! I was so scared. I thought I'd never see Master again meow~! Boohoohoo..."
Seeing Tang San act so coquettishly, Xiao Yexuan was speechless. Who had taught her this?
Still, it was quite nice. He liked seeing Tang San cry.
And he wanted to make Tang San cry even louder.
"Little San San, crying won't help you. You were trying to run away, weren't you? Hmph! Just wait until we get back. I'll punish you severely!"
Xiao Yexuan barked sternly and gave Tang San's springy little butt several hard smacks.
The pain made Tang San's tears stream down her face.
"Master... Master meow~! I... I won't dare do it again meow~! I came out... I just came out to clear my head... and without realizing it meow~! I ended up in this unfamiliar place meow~! I couldn't find the way back anywhere. Boohoohoo... I was so scared meow~!"
After being hit, Tang San kept hugging Xiao Yexuan and acting coquettishly, looking as though she had given up and blurted everything out.
But Tang San had probably thought up all those words in advance.
Xiao Yexuan chose to believe Tang San. He picked her up, poked her cheek, and said:
"You little rascal, don't run around again next time. There aren't just ferocious soul beasts in this forest; there are also lecherous Wolf Bandits. Be careful, or they'll capture you and hehe you!"
"Boohoo~~ Master meow~! I understand meow~! I won't run around again meow~!"
When Tang San heard the words Wolf Bandits, her pupils flickered for a moment before she resumed whimpering.
Then, Xiao Yexuan carried Tang San toward home.
Tang San quickly memorized the scenery around her. In the future, if she had the chance, she planned to secretly come here and heal her heart with her mother.
Xiao Yexuan also intended for Tang San to deepen her bond with Ah Yin, so he slowed his pace and let Tang San see everything clearly.
By the time they returned home, Tang San's mind was hazy because there had been too much of that, but the route she had just taken was simply too easy to remember.
She only needed to keep walking straight ahead.
If someone could get lost on that route, they must be an Aqua or Silly Furong, right?
"Little San, I really want to complain about these clothes of yours. Where are your original clothes?"
Xiao Yexuan tugged at Tang San's Blue Silver Grass outfit.
Tang San naturally would not say that her mother had made it for her.
So she lied, "Well, I was hungry earlier meow~! I caught fish to eat, but I had nothing to start a fire with, so I used my clothes meow~! I made these Blue Silver Grass clothes myself meow~!"
"You made them yourself? They're really pretty. All right, Little San, make a few more. I want to see you wear a different outfit every day!"
Xiao Yexuan said with a smile.
Tang San's brows first furrowed. Clothes made from grass and leaves were even more fragile than a girlfriend's stockings—they would tear with a single tug. She did not want to wear them every day.
But did Tang San have the right to refuse?
She could only force out a smile and say:
"If Master likes it meow~! Then I'll wear one for Master every day meow~!"
"My Little Kitty is so good! Then make one out of these few leaves!"
As if he had planned it all along, Xiao Yexuan spread several small leaves before Tang San.
Tang San's mouth twitched. There were only a few leaves?
Three... four... only five!
