Chapter 4: A Yin: I'll Only Take One Look

Xiao Wu didn't dare to bet on whether what Luo Ye said was true.

If it's false, that's nothing; but if Tang Hao really is secretly following them and she acts abnormally, Tang Hao will definitely try to kill her.

For human soul masters, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is something you can encounter but never seek; even if you can't get a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, just obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul bone is absolutely irresistible to any soul master.

Given Xiao Wu's bottom-tier combat power among hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, if Tang Hao, this Title Douluo, is determined to kill her, she will most likely be unable to escape death.

Xiao Wu forcibly suppressed her panic, feigned calmness while walking alongside Tang San, and continued to focus her thoughts to check the new content in the diary.

【Thanks to this mysterious diary, I have learned more and more detailed things about the past and future, as well as some hidden events.】

【For example, Tang Hao actually realized early on that Tang San was an extraterrestrial heavenly demon; after erasing the soul of his true son and seizing his place, Tang Hao initially regarded Tang San very unfavorably, even considering killing him directly, but after Tang San displayed his talent and twin martial souls, he discarded that idea and completely regarded Tang San as his own son.】

【Just as Tang Hao initially treated the Blue Silver Emperor, even though she was about to give birth, at her weakest and most exposed moment, he deliberately brought her around, leading to her being discovered by the former Spirit Hall pontiff Qian Qianji, and ultimately she had no choice but to offer herself as a sacrifice to Tang Hao.】

【It must be said, Tang Hao is indeed scheming; he not only obtained a son with the bloodlines of two great powers, but also conveniently gained the Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring and soul bone.】

【Having tasted the benefits, Tang Hao even taught this method to Tang San, allowing Tang San in the future to also receive Xiao Wu's sacrifice; although they are not biologically father and son, they are even better than a real father and son.】

【It's just that the poor Blue Silver Emperor and Xiao Wu, entrusted to non-humans, ended up with such a tragic fate.】

In a mountain cave in Holy Soul Village.

The Blue Silver Grass that A Yin transformed into swayed with the wind outwardly, but in her spiritual world her heart was already in turmoil.

Although A Yin hasn't seen Tang San for many years, from Tang Hao's description she knows Tang San is a well-behaved, sensible child, and she has always looked forward to recovering soon so that the three of them can truly reunite as a family.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—how could Xiao San be an extraterrestrial heavenly demon? How could Hao Ge be scheming against me?"

A Yin clenched her fists, her dignified and beautiful face filled with indignation and anger, feeling that this person named Luo Ye was slandering her husband and son.

However, amidst her anger, a sliver of unwilling-to-admit doubt also arose deep within A Yin's heart, because Luo Ye's diary reminded her, prompting her to recall events from the past few years.

Just as Luo Ye said, at the beginning Tang Hao's attitude toward Tang San was very poor, to the point that he didn't even want to discuss him in her presence.

But ever since Tang San's martial soul awakened at age six, Tang Hao's attitude toward him did a complete 180-degree turn; every time he mentioned their son he felt proud, and he said Tang San's future would surely be even more brilliant than his own.

At the time A Yin didn't understand why this was, but now seeing Luo Ye's diary, everything seemed to have an answer.

But even so, A Yin still wasn't willing to believe these contents, for if they were true, then her past efforts would have been completely in vain.

Her sincere devotion was betrayed; did she spend her whole life living under Tang Hao's schemes and conspiracies?

"I don't believe Hao Ge would treat me like this—it's fake, this must be fake!"

A Yin tried to convince herself, but the more she thought, the more her mind became chaotic; once the seed of doubt is planted, it will inevitably take root and sprout quickly.

A Yin closed her eyes, not daring to look at the diary's contents, but after just ten or so seconds she couldn't hold back, gazing at the diary copy before her and whispering.

"I'll just take one look; if I find evidence proving he's lying, then I won't look again."

After giving herself a reasonable excuse, A Yin took a deep breath and continued to read through the diary's contents.

【If there's a chance in the future, perhaps we could try to also rescue the Blue Silver Emperor, so she can escape Tang Hao and Tang San, this father-and-son pair.】

【This isn't me meddling; rather, as a Child of Destiny born of the times, my mission isn't only to help the plane will free itself from the divine realm's control and exploitation, but also to lead the Douluo Continent toward true prosperity, so the Soul Beast Clan naturally falls within my scope of aid.】

【Since those beings in the divine realm don't want to see humans and soul beasts coexist peacefully, the soul masters of the Douluo Continent must hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings in order to increase their strength.】

【Under such harsh conditions, the numbers of soul masters and soul beasts will naturally dwindle until there's no longer any possibility of escaping the divine realm's control, leaving them only able to be harvested like successive crops of chives, continuously providing the divine realm with faith power.】

【As for the plane will of the Douluo Continent, whether human or soul beast, they are all its children, and it naturally does not want them to slaughter each other.】

【In my previous life I had already figured out how to turn this situation around, changing the way soul masters cultivate, but unfortunately I hadn't even put it into action before I was defeated by Tang San and the Asura God King's side; the Douluo Continent had no chance of a comeback, the Soul Beast Clan faced massacre, the remaining soul beasts were enslaved, and I let down the Silver Dragon King's trust, disappointing her.】

【Though I had promised her I would help her save the Soul Beast Clan, in the end it still came to nothing; moreover, I had promised her that once everything was over I would accept her feelings for me, but I failed to keep that promise, watching helplessly as she died to save me, struck down by the Asura God's sword.】

【I will never forget the sight in her violet eyes at the moment of her life's end—when she looked at me, sorrow and deep love surfaced; though her vitality was rapidly fading, she forced herself through the pain to say she didn't blame me, and that poignant image will forever be etched in my mind.】

【Tang San, Asura God, and those beings of the divine realm—I will surely crush your conspiracies and make you pay your debts in blood!】

"Change the way soul masters cultivate? Let humans and soul beasts coexist peacefully? Is he really going to do something like that?"

A Yin gasped, her lips slightly parted, unable to believe as she stared at the diary before her, her heart greatly shaken.

Ah Yin was startled, her red lips slightly open, she looked at the Diary before her with some disbelief, her heart greatly shaken.
