One was Ah Yin, planted in a flowerpot.
The other was a lead box.
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the two things. One was his wife, who had been at his side for many years, and the other was the lead box he had made with his own hands to store the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. How could he possibly fail to recognize them?
Once he realized what had happened, a towering rage followed.
While his guard was down, his opponent had secretly stolen Ah Yin and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Hateful, truly hateful!
At that moment,
Tang Hao wanted nothing more than to tear Gu Chen limb from limb.
"Brat, put them down! Otherwise, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I'll kill you!!!"
He unleashed the pressure of his Soul Power, bearing down on Gu Chen. Along with it came the killing intent he had honed in Slaughter City all those years ago, pouring out without restraint. Clearly, Gu Chen's move had touched Tang Hao's reverse scale.
But that was exactly what Gu Chen wanted.
If Tang Hao were too rational, Gu Chen would have worried that he wouldn't take the bait. Now that Tang Hao had lost his reason, the chances of him taking the bait had risen sharply.
"Haozi, now that they're both in my hands, you want me to hand them over? Have you had too much to drink? Are you still dreaming in broad daylight?"
Gu Chen rubbed it right in his face. Ah Yin was in his hands, and Tang Hao still dared threaten him? What nerve!
"You brat, you already have a way to die!!!"
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was snorting like a bull.
Seeing this, Gu Chen was surprised. Tang syndrome was actually contagious! From Yu Xiaogang to Tang San, and now even Tang Hao had caught it. Gu Chen was a little scared. Wouldn't it be terrible if he caught it too?
"Tang Hao, I advise you to calm down. This is your wife. You wouldn't want her to die again, would you?"
Gu Chen shook the flowerpot in his hand. Ah Yin, planted inside, also seemed to sense Tang Hao's presence-or was it Tang San's presence she sensed? Her leaves began to dance wildly.
However,
after he finished speaking,
the first person whose expression changed drastically was not Tang Hao, but Tang San. After all, Tang Hao naturally recognized Ah Yin, but Tang San had never seen his mother in this life. He didn't even know what she looked like.
But there was no way he could accept that his mother was a blade of grass.
In fact,
he almost wanted to laugh.
My mom is a blade of grass? Your mom's a white snake!
But when he turned his gaze to Tang Hao, the latter said nothing, merely staring at Gu Chen with bloodshot eyes. His fierce killing intent even frightened Tang San a little. It was the first time he had seen his father lose his composure like this.
And Tang Hao's failure to refute him only proved that everything Gu Chen had just said was true.
Tang San couldn't mussel through it!
What?
My mom really is a blade of grass?!!!
This...
My dad really did screw grass!
Tang San, who had been ready to laugh before, couldn't laugh anymore. He couldn't even force a smile.
If he hadn't lived two lives and possessed a strong mental constitution, he might have jumped right then. Thankfully, his mental constitution was strong, so after just a few seconds, he calmly accepted the truth.
"Gu Chen, put my mom down right now, or I'll destroy you at any cost!"
Tang San looked at the Blue Silver Grass. He had felt an incomparably close connection to her before, and now he saw that it was a connection of blood. But when he thought of his mother falling into Gu Chen's hands, he instantly came down with Tang syndrome.
But his words made Gu Chen instinctively take control of the Blue Silver whip, which had stopped, and lash Tang San hard several more times, making him howl.
"Little Scumbag, how dare you interrupt when adults are talking? Is your skin itching again?!"
Gu Chen paid him no mind at all.
The person who could now sit across the chessboard from him was a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao. As for Little Scumbag? A speed bump like him should just lie there and keep quiet, or Gu Chen would have to reward him with a few more lashes.
"Stop!!!"
Tang Hao roared, his hand trembling with anger as it clenched the Clear Sky Hammer.
What's the meaning of this? I'm standing right here, and you still dare hit my son? Are you pretending I don't exist?!
And he wasn't the only one.
Ah Yin's leaves were also dancing wildly in Gu Chen's hand.
But
Gu Chen didn't care.
"Tang Hao, I won't waste words with you. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your wife, would you? And this too-I haven't absorbed it yet!"
"If you want to take back your wife and this thing, then come. I'll wait for you under that waterfall."
"I'll wait three days. If you don't come, I'll gladly accept Ah Yin and this Soul Bone for myself!"
With that, he tossed Ah Yin and the Soul Bone into the Void Ring.
Then he vanished from the sight of Tang Hao and the others.
Without Gu Chen's control,
the Blue Silver Grass binding Tang San fell apart on its own, and he dropped from midair. Seeing this, Tang Hao hurriedly caught him, despite being full of rage. This was his precious son! Damn that Gu Chen, to strike so ruthlessly!
With injuries all over his body like that, Tang San would need more than half a month to recover at the very least.
"Dad, Mom, she..."
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle it. Little San, don't speak. I'll take you to get treated."
Tang Hao's concern for Tang San was genuine. After all, he had placed all his hopes in Tang San. If anything really happened to him, it would be no different from his last hope being shattered, so he was naturally very concerned.
As he was leaving, he saw Yu Xiaogang lying nearby, also like a dead dog. He stopped and remained silent for a long time before finally taking him along too. There was no helping it; he still needed him to resolve the problem of his son's Twin Martial Souls.
After all, not everyone was Bibi Dong's ex-boyfriend.
Deep in the Xiling Mountain Range,
amid the wondrous scenery,
Gu Chen suddenly appeared beside Xiao Wu, who was gnawing on a carrot by herself.
"Little Chen-uh, Brother Chen, you're back! Want a carrot?"
The first words out of Xiao Wu's mouth upon seeing Gu Chen return instantly exposed her plan to sleep on brushwood and taste gall, ready at any moment to turn the tables and become the master. But Gu Chen paid it no mind. With that silly rabbit's intelligence, she wouldn't be able to outplay him even if she had another hundred thousand years.
"Why eat carrots? Cracking melon seeds is what suits you best."
As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into her hand.
Xiao Wu: "..."
She was puzzled. Why did he always have her crack melon seeds? Was there something special about them?
She looked them over from side to side.
Then she cracked a few and tasted them.
In the end, they were just ordinary melon seeds!!!
So...
What exactly did Gu Chen mean? She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought!!!
"Brother Chen, that guy Tang Hao... will he really come even though he knows it's a trap?"
Since she knew Gu Chen's plan, she naturally knew how he intended to lure Tang Hao over. But anyone who wasn't an idiot would know it was a trap. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't come. Coming even though you knew it was a trap? Wouldn't that be stupid?
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't bully a young girl for being poor!
That was what she thought.
But
Gu Chen raised a thumb and spoke with a confident look on his face.
"Don't worry, he's guaranteed to come!"
