In truth, regardless of whether Tang Hao had used any means, Ah Yin had been irresponsible toward her own race, and it also revealed her stupidity.
These Shapeshifted Spirit Beasts seemed to have forgotten why they had taken human form in the first place.
Shapeshifted Spirit Beasts had originally assumed human form to evade the Heavenly Tribulations they could not overcome, hoping to use a human body to pursue that slim chance of becoming gods.
Yet from the moment they completed their transformation, that goal seemed to have vanished. Falling in love instead became the main theme of their lives.
Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, even the Silver Dragon King—they were all the same.
Little Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King, was somewhat better. At the very least, as the Spirit Beast Co-Lord, she still possessed some sense of responsibility.
As Lan Hong spoke, he released Ah Yin and Tang Hao. Tang Hao looked utterly dejected, while Ah Yin appeared haggard.
"Father, Mother... your unfilial son could not save you."
"Little San!"
Ah Yin gazed worriedly at the still-injured Tang San and softly called out to him.
"What a touching bond between mother and son! But I wonder, when you sacrificed yourself, did you ever consider your child?
"I'm very curious how an infant survived after your sacrifice, when Tang Hao detonated his spirit rings and fought Qian Xunji to the death.
"At the time, Tang Hao had neither the time nor the energy to protect an infant.
"Did you ever think about it? Or did you not dare to think about it, not dare to admit that your real child had already died back then?
"This Tang San is merely a soul from a traitor of the Shushan Tang Sect in another world, occupying the magpie's nest.
