In fact, even Xiao Wu’s own body was now also capable of completely blocking the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The two great immortal herbs didn’t just help her recover her human form.
The peculiar atmosphere caused by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shook Tang San’s mind. As far as the eye could see, the plants growing next to that extraordinary pond were even more lush.
A one-armed one-legged man just stood there, gentle eyes just gazing in their direction.
“Dad.”
Tang San shouted, somewhat forgetting his appearance, rousing Xiao Wu in his embrace. The Eight Spider Lances on his back withdrew, and relying on the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone’s flying ability, Tang San turned into a meteor, dropping from the sky holding Xiao Wu, landing just in front of his father.
Tang Hao seemed no different from before, still with disheveled hair and beard, one arm and single leg. But the light in his eyes seemed a lot more gentle than when Tang San left.
Tang San’s gaze flitted past his father’s face, falling on his mother behind him. In the less than a year that he’d been gone, the Blue Silver Emperor had already grown strong and healthy. The giant blades of grass were already close to a chi wide, and more than five meters long. The one golden vein on top had turned into three. At the same time as Tang San landed, practically all the blades waved, swiftly extending to him and Xiao Wu, gently winding around and wrapping them up.
Gentle and kindly maternal love filled Tang San and Xiao Wu for a moment. Tang San turned completely dumbfounded, tears flowing uncontrollably. But these were no longer tears of sorrow, but rather tears of joy.
Xiao Wu was also a bit stunned, blinking her big eyes, watching those wide blades of grass winding around her as well, her soulless eyes unexpectedly reddening gradually.
Tang San could clearly sense that his mother’s recovery speed was even faster than he had imagined, in just less than a year, he could feel that his mother’s current aura wasn’t much different from a plant type spirit beast of the several thousand years level. What made him most astonished was the intelligence the Blue Silver Emperor showed. Very clearly, his mother was conscious. Her soul still existed. These circumstances were completely opposite from Xiao Wu.
Judging by his mother’s current circumstances, Tang San immediately judged that his mother absolutely couldn’t recover this fast just from the effect of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Her body itself being a plant type hundred thousand year spirit beast, the seemingly rousing effect of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the his own blood as fertilizer back then. His mother grew with astonishing speed. If it continued at this rate, then there would be a year in his father’s life when the family could be reunited.
Tang Hao smiled, very gently, without a bit of the aggressiveness of the previous Clear Sky Douluo, as if washed clean,
“Your mom is very happy you’ve returned. She’s welcoming you.”
“I know, I know.”
Tang San’s said, his voice choked with emotion.
Tang Hao raised his remaining hand, wiping away the tears on Tang San’s cheek,
“What are you crying for, you should be happy.”
Tang San hurriedly wiped his tears, nodding forcefully,
“Yes, I should be happy. Dad, mom is recovering much faster than I imagined. I believe she will definitely return to her previous form.”
Tang Hao’s eyes shone,
“I firmly believe so too. Little San, do you know? The time you’ve been gone has been the happiest time of my last twenty years. Seeing your mom constantly grow each day is what makes me the most satisfied. After so many years have passed, we can finally be together. Even though there should be no words of thanks between father and son, the place you found for your mom……”
At this point, he clapped Tang San’s shoulder hard. Father and son looked eye to eye, and there were no words.
The Blue Silver Emperor withdrew from Tang San and Xiao Wu, only leaving one strand behind, softly caressing Xiao Wu’s head, the leaf softly swaying. Tears kept falling from Xiao Wu’s eyes, and a sorrowful mood began to exude from the Blue Silver Emperor.
Tang San knew that his mom had already realized Xiao Wu’s situation.
Tang Hao and his wife had a close relationship, and his gaze immediately fell on Xiao Wu, sighing,
“Not long ago, me and your mom both felt you were in danger. Xiao Wu……”
On mention of Xiao Wu, the tears Tang San had just stopped threatened to fall again. Pulling that tender body close, Tang San recounted what had happened since he left.
When Tang Hao heard that Xiao Wu had used Sacrifice for Tang San’s sake, his originally missing ruthlessness and aggressiveness appeared once again, clenching his fists tightly. And each leaf of Blue Silver Emperor shuddered fiercely, as if weeping soundlessly.
Tang San again spoke in detail of his later encounters, founding the Tang Sect, as well as everything that happened afterwards.
Having listened to Tang San, Tang Hao’s expression gradually relaxed. Looking at Tang San, then again looking at Xiao Wu in his arms,
“In dealing with these events, you are stronger than I was. Treat the four single attribute clans well, back then it was I who implicated them. Little San, I’ll let you bear all the sins I’ve committed…...”
He didn’t continue speaking, but the guilt in his eyes made Tang San’s heart ache. Had his father really done something wrong? No, if it was him back then, he would definitely make the same choice.
“Dad, I’m your son, and you haven’t done anything wrong.”
He spoke resolutely and decisively, without comforting. Just this sentence made Tang Hao’s expression relax a lot. His son could understand him, what was more important than that?
Tang San’s gaze turned to his mother,
“Dad, mom, don’t worry, I’ll definitely resurrect Xiao Wu. However, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you for a long time. Coming back this time, is also because I wanted to ask you to agree to something.”
Tang Hao stared blankly a moment,
“What thing?”
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu next to him, his eyes soft,
“Mine and Xiao Wu’s marriage. I want you to witness my engagement to Xiao Wu. Once she has recovered completely, we’ll immediately marry. I ask for your approval.”
While speaking, he pulled Xiao Wu along to kneel in front of his parents.
Tang Hao looked somewhat astonished at his son, but his aged face very quickly filled with a smile,
“Good, good, good. Xiao Wu is a good child. To marry a wife like this is your blessing. We approve, we approve.”
Seeing at Xiao Wu’s vacant expression, Tang Hao couldn’t keep his eyes from moistening. Even though Tang San hadn’t described what happened to him and Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest very closely, how couldn’t he imagine the bitterness that had befallen these two children? He had also gone through such experiences, and could now even more relate to the feelings between his son and Xiao Wu.
Two strands of Blue Silver Emperor quietly swept up, each pulling on Tang San and Xiao Wu’s hands, then folding their hands together, wrapping them up firmly. Gentle and kindly feelings once again filled Xiao Wu and Tang San’s vicinity, surrounding them.
Just at this moment, blue golden light flashed around Tang San, six spirit rings silently filling his surroundings. That dazzling red sixth spirit ring quietly flashed, a ling of red light sweeping out, disappearing into Xiao Wu, and her vacant eyes immediately regained their expression.
This time, Tang San didn’t suppress Xiao Wu’s soul from coming out. The two looked eye to eye, simultaneously saluting Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Tang Hao laughed out loud, his single hand folding over Tang San and Xiao Wu’s joined palms, pulling them up,
“With such a daughter in law, what else could I ask for? Little San, in the future you must properly look after Xiao Wu. From now on she is your fiancée.”
Big teardrop
s rolled down Xiao Wu’s face. The soul temporarily returned to her body throbbed violently, softly calling out two words,
“Dad——, mom——”
A strand of Blue Silver Emperor rose, trembling softly landing in front of them. With just the soft trembling of that wide Blue Silver Emperor leaf, a golden thread slowly fell off the leaf, twisting around Tang San and Xiao Wu’s fingers as if alive. Tang San’s was on his left middle finger, Xiao Wu’s on her right.
Golden light flashed, and with intense light and brimming with gentleness, the golden threads turned into golden rings, each covering their fingers.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked shocked at those golden lights constantly giving them a wondrous feeling. Just at this instant, they suddenly had a feeling of their minds connecting. It seemed as if their souls had been linked together by this fantastic golden thread, never to separate.
Tang Hao looked smiling at his son and daughter in law,
“This is your mom’s wedding present for you. Dad doesn’t have anything to give you, but I will always wish you well here together with your mom. Xiao Wu, get well soon. We will both wait for the day you truly can become our daughter in law.”
Xiao Wu fiercely threw herself into Tang San’s embrace, holding him tightly, sobbing voicelessly.
Even though it still wasn’t perfect, he and she could finally be together properly. Those golden rings symbolized their feelings. At this moment, all the plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well seemed to dance cheerfully, blessing these lovers.
……
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
“School master, are you really going to agree to Rongrong going with Tang San and the others?”
Bone Douluo frowned tightly.
Ning Fengzhi nodded,
“Grandmaster is right. For us right now, it’s practically impossible to fight Spirit Hall, and it’s impossible for us to become the core of the opposition against Spirit Hall. But the Shrek Seven Devils are different. These seven children, including Rongrong, all have blessed talent. Only if they truly mature will we have the chance to oppose Spirit Hall’s power. If they always grow beneath our wings, they will be unable to soar to the ninth heaven. The Shrek Seven Devils complement each other, and their feelings surpass even siblings.”
Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded, saying:
“School master’s decision is correct. Rongrong is already at the sixtieth rank. Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she also counts as a power. Even though her spirit has advanced to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, whether it can truly possess the strength of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is still up to her. She already proved the school master’s decision was correct back when she cultivated at the Shrek Academy. These seven youths together, might very possibly become seven future miracles.”
Bone Douluo smiled wryly:
“I don’t want to part with Rongrong! In our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only this one scion is entitled to inherit the future post as school master.”
Ning Fengzhi resolutely said:
“Uncut jade won’t make a tool. I don’t want to part with my daughter either, but by keeping her here, won’t the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fall? Even if I don’t want to admit it, we’re already declining. Heaven Dou Empire is already a bit wary of our existence. Whether the sect can be restored doesn’t lie with us, but rather with Rongrong. When the nine lights of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda blooms, that is the moment when our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School evolves, and steps back into the Spirit Master world.”
……
One man and one woman, two youths stood silently in front of Shrek Academy’s great gates. The two looked at each other, a difficult to conceal excitement revealed in their eyes.
“Mubai, I’ve always wanted to ask. How did you persuade your imperial father to let you bring me with you?”
The young woman with angelic face and devilish figure spoke softly.
The youth smiled slightly,
“I told my imperial father, that if I can’t return alive, the throne will be succeeded by my big brother. If I can return alive, then that will be the moment we can officially move against Spirit Hall. There are even deeper benefits to our Star Luo Empire and the imperial family. If not for my big brother, father wouldn’t let me leave. But now it’s different. Rather than say that he let me leave, it’s more accurate to say that he hopes I can return. Return after becoming strong.”
This young man and woman, if they weren’t Shrek Seven Devils boss Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai and youngest Hell Civet Zhu Zhuqing, then who?
After receiving Grandmaster’s letter, Dai Mubai had persuaded his father, Star Luo Empire’s current emperor, and brought Zhu Zhuqing to rush here day and night.
Listening to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help giggling,
“You’re actually talking so pompously. Don’t I know you?”
Dai Mubai winked, his double pupiled evil eyes glinting, looking at Zhu Zhuqing’s expression like a smile yet not a smile, and helplessly said:
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Fine, I surrender. I admit that coming this time is even more for selfish motives. Don’t tell me you don’t want to meet everyone again? Us Shrek Seven Devils can travel together again. Fight together, grow together, how perfect is that! In those years together with everyone at Shrek Academy, even though we constantly fought, that time was still the happiest time of my life. Honestly, if it wasn’t for my own safety, I really wouldn’t care about fighting for the throne. The vicious intrigues of the imperial family doesn’t suit me. I’m more interested in laughing defying mountains and forests with my brothers. Grandmaster’s letter mentioned that fellow little Ao returned as well. Haha, I don’t know what level that fellow has cultivated his great sausage to. Only Xiao Wu……”
Grandmaster’s letter had simply recounted what had happened in this time, and so even though they weren’t there, they still had some understanding of everything that happened in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing sighed,
“It’s hard on third brother. However, I believe Xiao Wu will definitely resurrect. Even Heaven itself shouldn’t have the heart to break them apart.”
Dai Mubai rubbed Zhu ZHuqing’s head,
“Come on, we’ll go inside. I don’t know if everyone’s here.”
Speaking of the devil, at this time Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar really were at the Shrek Academy. On the verge of leaving for Sea God Island, Grandmaster was just giving them pointers for cultivation. In these past years, each of the Shrek Seven Devils had grown, and the one that had changed the most was Oscar. After Oscar gained the Mirror Image Skull Bone and the Great Mirror Image Sausage, the team’s overall strength had improved enormously. At the same time he could also become the link of the Shrek Seven Devils. As long as he prepared a bit in advance, everyone of the Shrek Seven Devils could use each other’s strength through the mirror image sausages. Even if it was impossible to use it to the same extent as Oscar, just one part was enough to change many things.
Sea God Island was an unknown world to the Shrek Seven Devils, and Grandmaster exploited this final time mainly to toughen Ning Rongrong and Oscar’s cooperation with the others. And Ma Hongjun was mainly improving his already extremely frightening burst attack power.
Besides the three of them Grandmaster this time also taught one more person.
“Damn Fatty, get away a bit. Are you deliberately getting in my way?”
Bai Chenxiang kicked Ma Hongjun’s butt, in a spitting rage.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar snickered to the side. Very clearly, they didn’t have any intent of speaking up. Seeing Bai Chenxiang purely oppress Ma Hongjun every day was easily very pleasurable. And the unfortunate Ma Hongjun didn’t dare offend them, for fear that they would mention his past indiscretions.
Ma Hongjun said wronged:
“How would I suddenly block you? This is walking normally for me! Xiangxiang
, you can’t accuse me wrongly. Say, why are you always kicking my butt, what if it breaks?”
Bai Chenxiang snapped:
“Your butt is so fat, how could it break from some kicking? Thick skin and deep meat. Humph, you’re doing it on purpose. You’re fully aware how fast I am, but just now you were still in my way, how isn’t that deliberate?”
Ma Hongjun said wronged:
“Isn’t this because I was worried you’re be injured? You don’t know, that fellow little Ao is terribly cunning. Just now he used the mirror image sausage made from third brother’s blood again, and with Rongrong’s support. You were bravely charging past, and would very possibly be trapped.”
Bai Chenxiang looked very doubtfully at Ning Rongrong and Oscar,
“Sister Rongrong[1], is that true?”
Ning Rongrong bent over giggling, saying:
“Xiangxiang, Fatty really wasn’t blocking you deliberately. Third brother’s spirit mainly relies on control power. Even though you’re fast, if you ran into third brother’s spirit ability great web, you shouldn’t think about escaping.”
The effects of the mirror image sausage Oscar just used still hadn’t disappeared. With a flick of his right hand, a ball of yellow green light flew out, abruptly spreading out in the air, flying straight at Ma Hongjun.
Fatty’s eyes shone, a line of golden red flame abruptly jetting from his mouth, immediately blocking the spread open spider web. Immediately afterwards, with a shake of his body, two giant phoenix wings abruptly unfolded from his back, he swept past, and that spider web instantly turned to ash, his whole body leaving behind a dazzling image of flame in the air. The Blue Silver Emperor Oscar used wasn’t after all the one Tang San used. Even though it was flame resistant, Oscar didn’t have that power in his blood, and his mirror image sausage used just a drop of Tang San’s blood. But meanwhile Fatty’s phoenix flame had already reached an extremely abnormal level, breaking the spiderweb restraint in one move.
