Chapter 73: All Parents in the World Have a Heart of Compassion
On the road.
Su Chen finally remembered he hadn't finished his diary for the day.
What a pleasant afternoon.
I went to Shrek Academy today, but didn't find Yu Xiaogang. I originally just wanted to mess with Tang San a bit and be done with it, but who would've thought! The pure and virtuous Tang Buddha directly launched a big move against me – a path to death.
Even though I messed with them last night, I didn't go too far! Tang Buddha is usually so good at enduring things, but today he actually used a mixed poison on me, trying to kill me. I really don't understand this.
Of course, the little punk's underhanded tricks couldn't do anything to me. The poison needle ended up pricking Xiao Wu. If I hadn't been so kind-hearted, the little rabbit would have exploded her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring on the spot.
Hmm… Even though I benefited from the antidote, even though I was the one who did the provoking, all of this was really Tang San's own doing. Thinking about how green Tang San's face was today, I just find it so fun!
"Ouch! I suddenly understand."
Slap! Su Chen smacked his own thigh.
Hu Liena couldn't help but wince, saying, "Ouch!"
"Ah, this... I got a little carried away just now."
Su Chen replied, placing his hand on Hu Liena's long legs, rubbing them as he continued his inner monologue:
Before, I hadn't figured it out. After all, Tang San, being a Transmigrator, is actually forty years old. It's impossible for him to attack me with lethal intent just because of my frivolous behavior, especially without knowing my background.
Now that I think about it carefully, the flaw lies in what I called him last night. Last night, I called him—the pure and virtuous Tang Buddha. This world only has gods like the Asura God and the Angel God, there's no Buddha.
So when I said Tang Buddha, others wouldn't understand what it meant. But the two words "Buddha" already revealed our commonality—visitors from another world! The martial arts world naturally has Buddhism, and he probably guessed that I came from the same world as him. He attacked me with lethal intent, also fearing that this secret would be exposed.
[That explains it. I was wondering why he suddenly courted death. The little punk is a little punk, alright, truly cautious!]
[Alright, let's get to today's task – the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat sideways, resting her chin in thought.
Tang San truly has schemes; he decisively went for the kill against Su Chen. It seems he really wants to keep his Transmigrator secret!
Bibi Dong couldn't quite understand. If that's the case, why didn't Su Chen just kill Tang San?
Was he waiting for Yu Xiaogang?
That didn't seem right.
If he killed Tang San, he could still seek out Yu Xiaogang himself. So, Su Chen didn't want to kill Tang San. Then why?
Logically speaking, as fellow Transmigrators, they should be locked in a fight to the death, right?
Bibi Dong frowned, deep in thought.
Two possibilities.
The first is that Su Chen never took Tang San seriously, so he treated him just like Yu Xiaogang, as a plaything he could toy with.
The second is that Su Chen can't kill Tang San right now; he's somewhat wary of the consequences.
After all…
Tang San is Tang Hao's son and a member of the Clear Sky Sect, and he is also backed by the Sea God and the Asura God.
Inside a cave.
A Blue Silver Emperor trembled.
Ah Yin looked at the contents of Su Chen's diary, her mood sinking to the bottom.
If she had held onto a sliver of hope regarding Su Chen's diary entries before, today she was completely certain: Tang San was a Transmigrator!
But.
If Tang San was a Transmigrator, was he still her son?
Ah Yin was utterly bewildered and in pain. She truly couldn't understand this question. Perhaps! She already knew the answer in her heart, but couldn't accept it.
Transmigrator.
Ah Yin recalled Su Chen's explanation, and her heart ached even more. So, Tang San was a Tang San from another world, just like Su Chen?
Or perhaps… Tang San wasn't her son?
Ah Yin's heart truly ached so much. To have fallen to this point, and in the end, she couldn't even protect her son. Why was her fate so bitter?
Was this the punishment for a soul beast and a human combining?
A parent's love is the most precious thing in the world!
Besides Ah Yin.
Xiao Wu's mother, Ah Rou, also felt immense pain after reading the diary.
She was truly distressed.
Why was her daughter so foolish?
She almost got poisoned today.
Sigh.
Ah Rou was very sad and heartbroken, but unfortunately, like Ah Yin, she could do nothing.
[Speaking of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, one must first mention the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It is indeed a very powerful auxiliary martial soul.]
[I've written before that no matter how much the Nine Hearts Begonia heals, it can only do so after an injury. In a battle of equal strength, the boost provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is clearly superior. Raising combat power is useless when you can't heal!]
[Everyone's soul power is there, even if you have infinite healing, the final result is still losing to an opponent who has been boosted and is stronger than you.]
[Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it all comes down to one person – Ning Rongrong. Ning Fengzhi once said that Ning Rongrong was the only genius in hundreds of years who had the chance to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.**
In the normal storyline, Ning Rongrong consumed the Beautiful Silk Tulip, which allowed her spirit to break through its limitations and evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, capable of supporting nine Soul Rings.
It's a pity. Now that I've given the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ye Lingling, it will be much more difficult for that little devil Ning Rongrong to evolve.
Here, I have to criticize Yu Xiaogang, that useless piece of trash. He once warned Tang San not to rely too much on external objects to boost his soul power, as it would affect future cultivation and lead to an unstable foundation.
Later, he ate the Nine Grade Purple Herb and broke through level thirty, tearfully saying, "Mmm, that's delicious!" Of course, Gangzi wouldn't get the chance, I've already given the Nine Grade Purple Herb to Dugu Bo.
On the carriage.
Ye Lingling, seeing this, couldn't help but tightly grasp Su Chen's hand. Her heart was filled with gratitude for Su Chen, and she wished she could immediately bear him ten children.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip… If Su Chen had given it to Ning Rongrong, he probably would have not only won Ning Rongrong's heart, but also become a distinguished guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the three major sects!
Compared to that.
Ye Lingling felt that the only thing she could give back to Su Chen was herself. Yet Ning Rongrong was no less capable, which couldn't help but move Ye Lingling.
Su Chen's gaze fell on Ye Lingling. He smiled and touched her face, asking, "What's wrong?"
Ye Lingling shook her head, leaning against Su Chen's chest, "Nothing, I just want to hug you!"
Hu Liena and Dugu Yan pouted to the side. Of course! They could also see how precious the Beautiful Silk Tulip was now.
And Su Chen knew about it a long time ago, but! Su Chen didn't give it to Ning Rongrong, but directly to Ye Lingling—that was love!
