"Humans and grass? What's that?" Ning Rongrong asked suspiciously.
"Sounds interesting." Meng Yiran's eyes lit up.
Humans and grass-just thinking about it was exciting!
Tang Yuehua's pupils contracted. Why did that sound so familiar?
"Huh? Landlord Brother, do you mean that business you mentioned before, about the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Hao? Wasn't that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor set up by Tang Hao and sacrificed to him?"
Xiao Wu gave him a puzzled look.
"Tang Hao! So it was Tang Hao! Hmph! This young lady let you off last time for Brother Yexuan's sake. Next time my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect catches you, just watch me crush your heads!"
Ning Rongrong spoke indignantly.
She still could not forget being attacked by Tang San.
Tang Yuehua's pupils contracted. These people actually had a grudge against her Brother Hao!
That made it all the more important not to reveal her identity.
She gave nothing away, not believing her brother was a bad person. These people must have provoked her Brother Hao first.
Moreover, pride began to rise in her heart.
The story of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor was one worthy of songs and tears.
Her Brother Hao had opposed Spirit Hall for his wife, ultimately causing the death of Spirit Hall's previous Supreme Pontiff.
Once everyone learned what kind of man Tang Hao was, they would surely clear up their misunderstanding of her Brother Hao.
"Actually, although the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself, she left behind a Blue Silver Grass seed. That seed was what the Blue Silver Emperor became after losing all her power. As long as it's nurtured, there's hope of reviving the Blue Silver Emperor."
As Xiao Yexuan and the others walked toward Holy Soul Village, he explained it to them.
"Really? Xiao Wu, is that true?"
Everyone already knew that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast who had taken human form.
They immediately turned their gazes toward Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu scratched her head and said, "I knew that too."
There had not been many Soul Beasts who sacrificed themselves throughout history to draw on as examples.
"It's easy to understand. After a Soul Beast dies, its power becomes a Soul Ring, but its body remains. Sacrifice means transferring power to someone else in the first place, so her body remains. But she hasn't died. She's simply lost all her power and become a grass seed."
Xiao Yexuan explained.
"So that's how it works. Sacrificing yourself to become a Soul Ring isn't the same as being a Soul Beast that's been killed. Something will always be left behind. Hehe! Then that Blue Silver Grass Brother Yexuan mentioned is Tang Hao's wife?"
Ning Rongrong looked enlightened, then revealed an evil smile and continued:
"Hehe... Just watch me kidnap Tang Hao's wife and make him worry himself to death! His son actually dared to assassinate me. I'll make sure his whole family suffers."
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua's heart tightened. That was her sister-in-law.
She could not let her fall into Ning Rongrong's hands.
She had to find a way to get Ah Yin.
Soon, they arrived at a valley near Holy Soul Village.
The scenery was beautiful, and the air was fresh.
"Was the Blue Silver Emperor planted here? This really is a lovely place."
Xiao Wu spoke cheerfully, then began searching with wide eyes, hoping to find traces of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Warmth filled Ah Yin's heart.
As expected of her Brother Hao. Over these years, he must have found many treasures that could help Ah Yin grow quickly in order to revive his wife.
He had even chosen such a beautiful place. How gentle of him.
"Huh? There isn't any special Blue Silver Grass here. Could the Blue Silver Emperor have been moved away beforehand?"
Ning Rongrong was also eager to get the Blue Silver Emperor and hurriedly searched as well.
Yet there was not even a larger clump of Blue Silver Grass here.
"Follow me."
Without explaining, Xiao Yexuan went to the waterfall. Little Snow Maiden appeared, freezing a thousand miles and building an ascending staircase out of ice.
Everyone climbed up and eventually reached a cave entrance beneath the waterfall.
"There's a cave here. Could the Blue Silver Emperor be hidden inside?"
Excited, Ning Rongrong charged straight inside.
The cave was pitch-black. Without their illuminating orbs, they would not have been able to see the way at all.
"Tang Hao hid her well. Most people really wouldn't imagine there was a cave beneath this waterfall."
They continued deeper inside and eventually reached a stone chamber measuring only ten square meters.
The stone chamber had no furnishings and was completely empty, but directly beneath a hole in the stone overhead was a small mound of earth.
On the mound, a slender stalk of Blue Silver Grass swayed in the breeze. Its blades looked somewhat longer than ordinary blades of grass, and its most unusual feature was the fine golden lines on them.
"This is the Blue Silver Emperor! She really is different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
Ning Rongrong grabbed the Blue Silver Grass's leaves and tugged hard as she spoke.
"Hmph! Tang Hao really is no good!"
Xiao Wu sensed the presence coming from the Blue Silver Emperor. It was a presence unique to hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts like them who had taken human form.
"What do you mean? I think Tang Hao protected the Blue Silver Emperor very well. Hidden here, she'd be very difficult to find."
Seeing Xiao Wu disparage her brother, Tang Yuehua hurriedly retorted.
"What do you mean, protected her well? Blue Silver Grass is grass! What it needs most to grow is sunlight. Shutting Blue Silver Grass inside this stone chamber where the sun never shines-isn't that harming the Blue Silver Emperor? If not for the special Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, ordinary Blue Silver Grass would have died here long ago!"
Xiao Wu spoke indignantly.
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua was left speechless.
That really did make sense.
But she trusted her brother and felt that he must have had his own difficulties that forced him to do this.
Yes! He must have hidden her here because he didn't want anyone to find her.
"This Blue Silver Emperor is a Soul Beast, after all. Why is she so small? Has Tang Hao been raising her properly? Don't tell me he buried her here and then just ignored her."
Ning Rongrong had some knowledge of medicinal ingredients too and knew that some medicinal herbs could be made to mature quickly.
Placed here, she had neither sunlight nor much of a source of nutrients.
The entire stone chamber contained nothing but a small mound of earth.
"Damn it, Tang Hao doesn't treat his wife well at all. Using her to threaten him would be completely useless." Ning Rongrong was a little disappointed.
She felt that even if she took the Blue Silver Emperor and made soup out of her right in front of Tang Hao, his expression would barely change.
"Rongrong, you can't kill the Blue Silver Emperor. She's part of my Soul Beast Clan. She was merely deceived by Tang Hao. I'm going to revive her and let her see Tang Hao's true nature!"
As Xiao Wu stopped her, she slit her own wrist.
Sweet, fresh blood immediately flowed onto the Blue Silver Emperor.
An incomparably vast presence of life could be sensed within that blood.
"That's the Gold of Life! Xiao Wu, you actually drew the Gold of Life!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. The Gold of Life was as precious as a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
It was even harder to draw.
That was because, among the hundred plates in a hundred consecutive draws, only one plate contained the Gold of Life.
The chance of drawing it was one in ten thousand.
As Xiao Wu repeatedly slit open the healing wound on her arm, blood brimming with rich vitality dripped onto Ah Yin.
Ah Yin's body was growing rapidly...
