Chapter 285: with translation of chapter title

285. Chapter 285 Tang San: Uh, don't hit me anymore.

Xiao Cao wrapped both arms around Qianxunji's arm, looking at Tang San who had been slapped, her expression somewhat pitying but more hatred.

Because, the Tang San before her was exactly the son she had carried for ten months and given birth to.

No, he should not be her son, yet he is her son.

After giving birth to Tang San that year, she was very happy, because she had a son.

But, when Qianxunji came to her thatched hut where she lived, everything changed.

Qianxunji told her, the child in her arms had been possessed, had been possessed by the Tang San before her.

Resulting in the body still being her son, but the soul had long ceased to be her son, instead becoming her enemy.

So, at this moment Xiao Cao watched Tang San being hit by Ju Dou Luo, her eyes held some pity, but more hatred, anger.

It was Tang San who let her son die as soon as he was born.

If it weren't for Qianxunji giving her two children over these fourteen years through hard work, she likely would have succumbed to grief in the pain of losing her son.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cao gazed at Qianxunji with tender affection, tightly embracing his arm with both hands, her eyes full of stars.

Qian Ge, thank you, thank you for accompanying me out of the pain of losing my son, thank you for diligently accompanying me day and night, giving me two lovely and well-behaved children.

And Tang Hao, Xiao Cao's gaze fell upon Tang Hao.

She couldn't figure out why she had ever taken a liking to Tang Hao that guy.

Fortunately, Qian Ge, like a Divine Abode descending from heaven, took her away, giving her endless love day and night; otherwise, she would have spent over a decade with that slovenly, decadent Tang Hao.

That would have been truly agonizing.

Moreover, she only had gratitude toward Tang Hao, no grudge.

Initially, when Tang Hao lay heavily wounded in the Sunset Forest, she rescued him and brought him back to the forest cabin to recuperate.

When Qianxunji finally appeared, she even sacrificed her own hundred-thousand-year spirit beast cultivation for Tang Hao, ultimately transforming into her true form, the aberrant Dogtail Grass.

So, even if she no longer wanted Tang Hao after over a decade, she would be utterly blameless.

After all, back then they merely felt mutual affection, with no promises.

In the hall!

Ju Dou Luo stood with hands on hips in the middle of the hall, gazing down at Tang San whose body trembled yet he stood firm and strong.

To be honest, Ju Dou Luo somewhat admired Tang San's perseverance before him.

Originally, when he previously captured Tang San, he had already broken his knee, causing him only to be able to kneel on the ground.

But just now, after Tang San saw his father Tang Hao humiliated, he actually relied on strong willpower to stand up.

Even after receiving a heavy slap from that person's tremendous force, he could still stand, truly showing strong perseverance.

Although he admired the before-him Tang San's indomitable perseverance, Ju Dou Luo knew His Holiness the Pope disliked Tang San this guy.

So, he felt that as His Holiness the Pope's left and right hand, although his strength was low, he still needed to consider the Pope's interests and continue tormenting Tang San.

「Tsk tsk… tsk tsk…」 Ju Dou Luo clicked his tongue, his alluring gaze fixed on Tang San, and said:

「Yo, Character, you can actually still stand, truly your perseverance is strong. 」

Tang San, hearing this, said nothing, merely turning his gaze to Tang Hao beside him.

He did not understand why, after seeing his father being slapped and insulted by Ju Dou Luo, his father did not utter a word.

Could it be that his father thinks the Spirit Hall is too strong, so now he must tuck his tail and behave?

As the saying goes, 'As long as the green hills remain, we need not fear lack of firewood; as long as life remains, we will surely be able to take revenge on the Spirit Hall in the future.'

「Howl! 」

Tang San suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl, gave a loud shout, then angrily stared at Ju Dou Luo before him and shouted angrily:

「My fate is mine, not heaven's; whoever fails to kill me will only make me stronger! 」

「As long as you cannot kill me today, I will someday make your Spirit Hall have no place to bury its dead. 」

「Come on, let the storm come even more……」

「Smack! 」

Ju Dou Luo slapped Tang San's face, angrily shouting:

「Storm, damn it, you damned Character! 」

Ju Dou Luo cursed, feeling still unsatisfied, then struck left and right, delivering over a dozen frantic slaps to Tang San's face.

「Smack… smack… smack… smack… smack… smack…」

A series of slapping sounds echoed in the hall, causing Tang San's teeth to fly everywhere and his cheeks to swell and redden.

Beside him, Tang Hao watched this scene, his face showing concern, but deep down he was overjoyed.

Ju Dou Luo, slap well, slap that damned Tang San to death.

Haha, haha, Tang San, seeing your pained expression, I, Tang Hao of the Heavenly Douluo, feel delighted inside.

Outside the hall, Qianxunji watched this scene and also thought Ju Dou Luo did well.

Ju Dou Luo and Gui Douluo only have the cultivation of a 95th-ranked Title Douluo, yet they can still serve as his left and right hand.

It is not because of their strength, but because they have followed him for over a decade, and previously also followed his original self for over a decade.

Moreover, the most important thing is that both are utterly loyal to him.

His strength in the Douluo world is now invincible; he does not need overly powerful left and right hands, which would be meaningless, as long as he is present, his deterrent power is enough to intimidate the entire continent.

Thus he only needs two left and right hands who are utterly loyal and capable of handling affairs. Without a doubt, Ju Dou Luo and Gui Douluo are the most suitable.

After watching the show for a while, Qianxunji then embraced Xiao Cao and A Yin and walked into the hall.

「Thud… thud…」

Faint footsteps sounded from the hall's entrance.

Ju Dou Luo turned his head, saw Qianxunji, and immediately bowed respectfully, saying:

His Holiness the Pope!

Ghost Douluo, seeing this, also bowed and said:

His Holiness the Pope!

When Tang Hao heard the title 'His Holiness the Pope,' he immediately turned his head and smiled, saying:

I greet the Pope……

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Hao stood there stunned.

Because he saw A Yin and Xiao Cao.

Logically, seeing these two women whom she deeply loved, he should have been happy.

But at this moment, A Yin and Xiao Cao were linked arms with Qianxunji, wearing loving expressions, their eyes full of affection as they looked at Qianxunji.

Pain!

Pain!

Really painful!

More painful than when the egg broke earlier!

If only A Yin alone were linked arms with Qianxunji, Tang Hao could still accept it.

After all, when Qianxunji originally took A Yin away, he had already anticipated this outcome.

After all, A Yin is so beautiful; it would be strange if Qianxunji didn't take full advantage of her.

On the contrary, Xiao Cao—when he was severely wounded and near death, it was Xiao Cao who found and saved him, then took meticulous care of him.

After Qianxunji appeared, Xiao Cao even sacrificed herself for Tang Hao.

How difficult it is for a soul beast to cultivate to a 100,000-year soul beast, Tang Hao knows better than anyone.

Nevertheless, despite such difficulty, Xiao Cao also sacrificed herself for him.

But he failed to repay Xiao Cao's efforts; even after receiving her sacrifice, he was still tormented by Qianxunji like a dog.

Therefore, in Tang Hao's heart, Xiao Cao's status had long surpassed A Yin, surpassed his sect the Clear Sky Sect, and surpassed his own life.
