Chapter 8: The Chat Group Drops a Bombshell—Tang Hao's "Screwing Over His Wife" Record?!
Liu Erlong quickly recovered from her shock.
She caught the key point hidden in Lin Qingmo's words and immediately pressed further.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Wait!
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Are you saying that Clear Sky Douluo also fell in love with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—and that she was even sacrificed?
When Lin Qingmo saw the message, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
[Dad Douluo]: Come on, Sister Long, you really are a classic case of "important people forget things easily."
[Dad Douluo]: Such an explosive drama—we talked about it in the group for days back then. How did you manage to forget all of it?
"Uh…"
Liu Erlong instantly felt awkward.
She couldn't exactly say that she wasn't that "Dragon Mom" at all—
That she had never participated in those group chats in the first place.
So she could only laugh it off and make up an excuse on the spot.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Ahem, ahem. Too much going on lately, overworked—my memory's been a bit off, haha.
[Dad Douluo]: Fair enough. Happens when you get older—totally understandable.
[Dad Douluo]: But the Royal Sister has a much better memory than you. Back when we talked about this, she remembered everything crystal clear.
When Bibi Dong saw Lin Qingmo praising her,
A faint smile curved at the corner of her lips.
[The Pope Herself]: Ah Qing is right. I do remember these things quite clearly.
"???"
Those two messages nearly made Liu Erlong want to smash the chat group screen on the spot.
"Damn you, Ah Qing—how dare you say I'm old?!"
"And you too, 'The Pope Herself,' actually backing him up!"
A woman's age was a forbidden topic!
How exactly was she, Liu Erlong, old?!
A surge of anger rose in her chest.
She wanted nothing more than to clap back immediately.
But after thinking it over—
Lin Qingmo thought she was someone else.
If she suddenly blew up, it would only raise suspicion.
"Tch…"
No choice.
She forcibly swallowed that anger.
Even so, in her heart, she cursed Lin Qingmo and Bibi Dong eight hundred times over.
Lin Qingmo, of course, had no idea Liu Erlong was on the verge of exploding.
He continued rambling away in the group.
[Dad Douluo]: But let me say this first—everything beyond this point is just netizens' speculation and brainpower gymnastics. I'm just sharing for fun, don't take it too seriously.
[Dad Douluo]: According to online theories, Tang Hao once fell in love with a hundred-thousand-year transformed Blue Silver Emperor named Ah Yin.
[Dad Douluo]: By itself, that should've been a beautiful story.
[Dad Douluo]: But Tang Hao must've had water in his brain, because when Ah Yin was pregnant, he dragged her all over the continent.
[Dad Douluo]: As if he were afraid Titled Douluo wouldn't notice that she was transformed soul beast!
In the original story,
Ah Yin hadn't fully completed her transformation back then.
Although the aura of a soul beast was well-hidden thanks to the nature of Blue Silver Grass,
In the eyes of a Titled Douluo, it was basically meaningless.
Yet Tang Hao—
Not only did he refuse to keep a low profile,
He even took Ah Yin straight to Spirit City, the headquarters of Spirit Hall, where Titled Douluo were practically everywhere.
Wasn't that just shoving her straight into a pit of fire?
That was exactly what it was—throwing her into a pit of fire!
He could've found a secluded, safe place.
Let Ah Yin give birth in peace.
Then, after she fully matured and completed her transformation into a true human,
He could've brought her and the child out into the world.
At that point, even Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to doubt her identity.
But Tang Hao did the exact opposite.
And in the end, it led to Ah Yin being hunted down by Spirit Hall.
[Dad Douluo]: With no way out, Ah Yin was forced to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, helping him break through to Titled Douluo.
[Dad Douluo]: A lot of netizens think Tang Hao damn well did it on purpose—to get Ah Yin to sacrifice a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and let him leap straight into the Titled Douluo realm.
Lin Qingmo sent a long string of messages in one go,
Dumping all the online rants and analyses he'd read back on Earth straight into the group.
Everyone who read those words fell into deep thought.
The more they thought about it…
The more Lin Qingmo's reasoning seemed to make sense!
When Ah Yin was pregnant, she was at her weakest—And it was exactly when a soul beast's aura was easiest to detect.
Tang Hao, even as a Soul Douluo at the time, couldn't possibly have been unaware of this.
Yet he still brought her to Spirit City.
If that wasn't courting death, what was?
If he truly cared about Ah Yin,
He could've hidden away somewhere safe, waited for her to give birth and complete her transformation, and only then reemerged.
Once Ah Yin became a true human, her soul-beast aura would disappear completely.
There would've been no pursuit.
But he didn't do that.
This choice was so stupid it bordered on absurd.
To the point where one couldn't help suspecting—
That he did it deliberately.
Liu Erlong couldn't help sighing.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Who would've thought that the dignified Clear Sky Douluo would behave in such a despicable way?
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: For the sake of breaking through to Titled Douluo and obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own lover.
She wasn't close to Tang Hao.
But she'd always heard of him as a man of loyalty and righteousness.
Yet according to Lin Qingmo, Tang Hao was nothing more than a selfish villain!
And the key point was—
This little fellow had no reason to deceive them.
Rumors could be exaggerated.
But Lin Qingmo's version felt far more real.
In Spirit Hall,
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
[The Pope Herself]: Tang Hao—truly a despicable man.
Just six simple words,
Yet filled with disdain and contempt.
In the pitch-dark stone chamber,
That Blue Silver Grass trembled even more violently.
Pregnant… wandering everywhere… deliberate exposure… sacrifice…
Each phrase was like a sharp blade, stabbing straight into Ah Yin's heart.
Back then,
Tang Hao really had taken her traveling all over the world while she was pregnant.
She had always believed he simply wanted to show her the beauty of the world.
But now…
Maybe it wasn't as beautiful as she had imagined.
Was he really doing it on purpose?
Deliberately exposing her identity, getting her hunted, and ultimately forcing her to sacrifice herself to help him break through to Titled Douluo?
[Green Grass]: Why… why…
A line of broken, fragmented text appeared on the screen—
Words filled with sorrow and confusion.
Why?
Tang Hao, why did you do this?
Did our child mean nothing more to you than a tool to be used?
Inside the stone chamber,
The Blue Silver Grass drooped low.
Dewdrops slid down continuously.
The entire space was steeped in grief.
Xiao Wu stared at the chat history, her emotions tangled and chaotic.
She was afraid of Tang Hao's schemes.
Afraid that she herself might become the next sacrifice.
Yet at the same time, she felt deep sympathy for Ah Yin—
Another hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast who had suffered such a tragic fate.
So Tang San's mother was also a hundred-thousand-year soul beast… and she met such a miserable end.
Xiao Wu pressed her lips together.
In her heart, she made a firm decision—
She would never be deceived into sacrificing herself!
Even if it meant death!
…
"Ha—"
Lin Qingmo yawned.
He was getting sleepy.
He had no idea that his casual rant had completely overturned the four "group members'" perception of Tang Hao—
And caused massive shifts in each of their emotions.
He stretched lazily.
[Dad Douluo]: Alright, it's late. I still have class tomorrow, so I'm heading to bed.
[Dad Douluo]: You all should rest early, too. Don't overthink it—this is all just netizen speculation, not necessarily true.
After sending the messages,
Lin Qingmo directly closed the chat group interface.
He rolled over—
And quickly fell asleep.
Beside him, Xiao Wu's tears slid down silently.
She hugged her knees tightly.
Her heart filled with fear and confusion.
"Mom… what should I do?"
"Should I leave Nuoding Academy?"
But then…
Would Tang Hao hunt her down?
