Chapter 29: Various Reactions.
April 4, 2023 Author: Fu Hejun
"This Ye Cheng will likely be a formidable opponent for Little Xue in the future!"
Qian Daoliu thought of Ye Cheng's identity as an inheritor of a god position, and considering he was now Level 99, he could be said to have already stepped halfway over the threshold of becoming a god at Level 100.
Meanwhile, his own granddaughter was still in the Heaven Dou Empire, impersonating the Crown Prince, playing a boring game of usurpation, and wasting her time. Achieving godhood was still a long way off for her. For the first time in his life, he felt the frustration of seeing unfulfilled potential.
If Ye Cheng had not yet matured, Qian Daoliu would certainly not hesitate to personally intervene and end the life of this inheritor of a god position, paving the way for his granddaughter's future.
But regrettably, Ye Cheng had already matured. Even before the video was exposed, he had grown from a frail sapling into a towering giant tree!
At this point, Qian Daoliu was already thanking heavens that Ye Cheng wasn't coming to trouble the Spirit Hall, let alone proactively provoking him.
"Alas, I hope this Ye Cheng won't become an enemy of my Spirit Hall in the future." Qian Daoliu finally sighed, only able to hope for this outcome. Unless absolutely necessary, he truly didn't wish to confront an inheritor of a deity like him.
...
Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Residence.
In a certain elegantly decorated boudoir.
"Crash!"
A tea set was overturned and smashed to pieces on the floor.
The one who caused all this was a tall young woman with an extremely voluptuous figure, skin like mutton-fat white jade, and a captivatingly beautiful appearance. Most importantly, her facial features were remarkably similar to Zhu Zhuqing's.
However, unlike Zhu Zhuqing's cool demeanor, this young woman gave off an alluring aura, like a perfectly ripe peach. Compared to the still somewhat unripe Zhu Zhuqing, her appeal to men was considerably greater.
And this mature and alluring young woman was none other than Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, who was destined to have a battle with her in the future.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun had just finished watching the future video, and her expression was utterly ice-cold!
"Damn it! Why is her luck so good?!"
She recalled the future revealed in the video, and knowing that her sister would become an apprentice to a Limit Douluo, an unparalleled surge of jealousy erupted within her! It was accompanied by dread! And fear!
Zhu Zhuyun didn't believe Zhu Zhuqing would spare her once she became powerful, especially since the Royal Family's education was notoriously cruel. Having been raised since childhood to be a Crown Princess, she never shied away from assuming the utmost evil in others.
Thinking from another perspective, if Zhu Zhuyun herself had been bullied by her older sister since childhood and constantly faced danger, then once she became powerful, she would absolutely retaliate a thousandfold! Otherwise, she would never be able to swallow this resentment.
Therefore, she was convinced that once Zhu Zhuqing seized the final victory, her own fate would undoubtedly be extremely tragic!
Hence, she absolutely had to prevent her apprenticeship!
Zhu Zhuyun recalled the changes in Zhu Zhuqing's appearance in the video and immediately deduced that the Zhu Zhuqing in the video was at least fifteen or sixteen years old at that time. She was currently only 12 years old.
Moreover, not long ago, she had escaped after being injured by assassins Zhu Zhuyun had sent. In the current time period, she likely hadn't encountered that Limit Douluo yet, let alone undergone apprenticeship. Therefore, if she was killed now, she would no longer pose a threat!
Yes! She must be killed as soon as possible!
Bone-chilling killing intent surged within Zhu Zhuyun's alluring eyes!
If the previous pursuit was merely to drive her towards Dai Mubai and, incidentally, give her some pressure, then now, knowing that Zhu Zhuqing would rise from obscurity in the future, Zhu Zhuyun no longer cared about anything else.
She decided to dispatch all of her elites, aiming for a single, fatal strike. To completely eliminate this threat!
"Zhuqing, don't blame me, your older sister."
"I originally wanted you to live for a few more years..."
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were sinister, the malignity in her heart almost spilling out from her eye sockets. With an alluring voice, she uttered the most ruthless words, "But, who told you to have such good luck? Then your older sister can only make you die prematurely!"
...
Nuoding City.
Inside a certain blacksmith shop.
Tang San, who had finished watching the video, was utterly shocked. He had captured crucial information from this episode's video: his own father was actually a Titled Douluo!
Moreover, he hadn't actually gone missing; he had simply been hidden in the shadows, observing and protecting him.
This sudden revelation of the truth left Tang San shocked, but also deeply moved. From it, he felt a silent, fatherly love. His heart felt warm...
Just then.
"Bang!"
The blacksmith shop's main door was smashed open. A tall figure draped in a black robe appeared at the doorway, blocking the sunlight. Because of the backlighting, their face was unclear.
But Tang San shed tears. Even after not seeing him for years, he recognized the tall figure at first glance; it was indeed his father, who had been missing for several years.
"Dad!!"
"Xiao San, come with me."
A hoarse and weathered voice came.
Tang San didn't hesitate, immediately throwing down the hammer in his hand. He then followed his departing father, not even bothering with the semi-finished hidden weapons lying around.
Anyway, these hidden weapons didn't have much sophistication; any normal blacksmith could reproduce them with a glance. It would just take a bit more effort, so he didn't care at all.
...
After the future video exposed Tang San as the son of Haotian Douluo,
Tang Hao knew the plan had changed. He could no longer hide in the shadows and leave Tang San to his own devices. After all, everyone knew he was his son, and the Spirit Hall would definitely not remain unresponsive. A large arresting force was probably already on its way.
Therefore, he had to quickly take his son and flee for their lives, leaving this place.
After briefly explaining the current situation to Tang San,
Tang San, who had absorbed and digested the information, hesitated before looking at Tang Hao and saying, "Dad, can I say goodbye to Xiao Wu? Or, can I take Xiao Wu with me?"
Facing his son's pleading gaze, Tang Hao fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he decided it was best to tell him Xiao Wu's true identity.
"That girl has probably already escaped by now," he said.
"Escaped?"
Hearing this, Tang San was bewildered, "Dad, why would Xiao Wu escape? Shouldn't we be the ones escaping? Did she also provoke the Spirit Hall?"
"No, the reason she had to escape is because..." Tang Hao shook his head, then looked down at Tang San from above and said, "That girl is not a human!"
"Not a human?"
Tang San was completely confused. Was Dad scolding Xiao Wu? Otherwise, why would he say she wasn't a human?
"That girl is a 100,000-year soul beast that took on human form!"
Tang Hao said directly.
"What?!"
Tang San couldn't help but exclaim.
At the same time,
the past six years he had spent with Xiao Wu flooded his mind. Recalling all the ways she was unusual.
Tang San suddenly realized that if Xiao Wu truly wasn't a human, but a soul beast that took on human form, then it all made perfect sense.
But even if Xiao Wu was a soul beast that took on human form, why would she need to escape? He wouldn't harm her.
