Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon

Chapter 115: Er Ming "That Bastard Tang San Is No Father!"

For an empire, such behavior was undoubtedly harmful.

It essentially encouraged factionalism where the powerful alumni network of Shrek Academy became a political force in its own right.

Shrek Academy had stood for ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, amassing an army of fanatic supporters.

Some within the academy even believed that if war ever broke out, prisoners from the three Douluo nations, even if they defected, would never attack Shrek Academy.

After all

It was the sacred land of soul masters.

But in the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy's influence was almost nonexistent.

At most, there were a few admirers, but they held no real power.

"Beibei, let's set off." Yan Shaozhe said.

"Alright." Beibei nodded and returned to the team, preparing for their journey to the Sun Moon Empire.

Soon, Yan Shaozhe led the Shrek Academy group on their departure.

Haotian Sect

Da Ming and Er Ming sat in their chairs when suddenly

A voice echoed in their minds.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, I have a task for you.

This mission concerns Xiao Qi's future, so I need you to take it seriously and not refuse."

For Tang San, his relationship with Da Ming and Er Ming was unique.

On one hand, they were his brothers in law.

On the other, they had once offered themselves as his soul rings even gifting him soul bones.

Naturally, he had a special means of contacting them.

However, there was a condition

Since his divine sense was not directly linked to them, he couldn't reach them at any time.

Er Ming spoke first, his voice carefree and bold.

"Brother San, just tell us what you need.

My brother and I will handle it perfectly.

As long as it's for Xiao Qi's benefit, I won't refuse!"

After all, Xiao Qi was Xiao Wu's daughter.

As her second uncle, there was no way he would reject any task that helped her.

Though

In his eyes, Tang San wasn't exactly a great father.

But for Xiao Wu's sake, Er Ming never openly criticized him.

Of course, he still called him Brother San

Because as Xiao Wu's husband, addressing him directly by name would be disrespectful to Xiao Wu's seniority.

Besides

Er Ming had once loved Xiao Wu.

Naturally, he valued her opinion deeply.

Da Ming also spoke.

"Brother San, Er Ming and I both see Xiao Qi as our own child.

No matter how difficult the mission, as long as it benefits her, we will do it.

But if you're asking us to find that 'new star' again, we still haven't had any luck."

Tang San chuckled.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, I know you both care for Xiao Qi.

After all, you're her elders.

But

The mission I'm giving you isn't difficult, and it has nothing to do with the new star.

Though, rest assured, I will find the new star someday."

"Now, listen carefully.

Your task is simple

You must make Xiao Qi suffer.

Only through pain and trials can she become stronger."

Da Ming hesitated.

"Brother San… what kind of trials are you talking about?"

He knew Tang San had a habit of testing people.

Back when Da Ming was still a soul beast, he hadn't fully understood Tang San's personality.

But after Tang San ascended, reviving him and Er Ming

He subjected them to an absurd trial before resurrecting them.

Da Ming didn't want to remember it.

But Tang San's reasoning had been

"If you struggle for something, you'll cherish it more."

Tang San continued.

"The trial is simple.

I need Xiao Qi's mindset to undergo extreme turmoil.

She must lose her carefree nature and become filled with sorrow.

So I've devised a perfect plan

You will send Xiao Qi into the Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley alone."

"After all

I still haven't found that fated new star.

If I can't find them, I have no choice but to train Xiao Qi as a temporary replacement."

"My plans must move forward.

If my first plan won't work, then we proceed with the second."

Er Ming's expression darkened.

"Is Tang San insane?! Xiao Qi is his daughter! Why would he put her through such torture?"

"The Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley is no place for a child!"

Even strong soul masters could be trapped there for years.

Xiao Qi was only a teenage girl.

How could she possibly withstand what was inside?

Tang San added

"Of course, to avoid suspicion, I will erase her memories of you two taking her there.

Once she regains her memories, she will understand our good intentions.

Alright, I won't say more Xiao Wu is coming.

You two, go complete the mission."

The moment he finished speaking

His voice vanished.

From Tang San's perspective

The Butterfly God was only a secondary god.

So its divine position wasn't valuable.

He now wanted his daughter to inherit the God of Emotions title

So she could become his greatest asset.

Originally, the God of Emotions was reserved for the new star.

Tang San had planned to "accidentally" let Rong Nianbing take an interest in them

Then use the "stolen divine inheritance" as an excuse to keep Rong Nianbing in the God Realm.

This would have secured two new first rank gods under his command

Giving him a huge power boost.

After all

Besides Xiao Wu, who shared his Asura God authority, the other Five Monsters had become irrelevant.

But since the new star was still nowhere to be found

Tang San had no choice but to force Xiao Qi into the role.

The God of Emotions was a first rank god.

In terms of value, it was far superior to the Butterfly God.

However, inheriting this divine position required extreme emotional experiences.

Right now, Xiao Qi was too naive.

The only way to accelerate her "growth"

Was to throw her into Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley.

The moment Tang San left

Er Ming erupted in rage.

"That bastard Tang San!

How is this not torture for Xiao Qi?!

If she had someone with her, that stupid trial might be bearable.

After all, if a God King were matchmaking, at least she'd find someone worthy.

But now he wants to send her in alone?

Can he even call himself a father?!

It's been ten thousand years

He's not the Brother San we once knew!

Even the way he addresses Dai Mubai has changed!

He used to call him Boss Dai

Now he just calls him Mubai!

At this rate, he'll probably start calling him 'Little Dai' or 'Dai zi' soon!"

Da Ming sighed.

"Er Ming, you're right… but we can't disobey outright.

Still, I refuse to let Xiao Qi suffer alone.

We'll delay this task as long as possible."
