Chapter 36: Xiao Wu: Am I Really Going to Be Gu Yuena's Mother-in-Law?

All the heroines were quite curious—if things had followed the original course, which 100,000-year soul beasts would the Tang family have married? So far, they only knew about Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.

At this point, Su Ming, as if reading their minds, continued to write.

[Since we're talking about the Tang family rules, we have to mention this tradition of marrying 100,000-year soul beasts in each generation. It's outrageous! Only the Tang family could be so lucky—generation after generation, marrying soul beasts, and all of them are at least 100,000 years old!]

[Let's break it down: Tang Hao married the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. His son, Tang San, married the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit, Xiao Wu. But now, Tang San doesn't stand a chance—Xiao Wu is my sister. How could I possibly let her be Tang San's wife!]

[Then, Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, married Gu Yuena, the ruler of all soul beasts. Gu Yuena is the Silver Dragon King, a divine beast far beyond the power of any 100,000-year-old soul beast!]

[As the ruler of soul beasts, Gu Yuena probably never imagined she'd marry a human. And what's even crazier is that her mother-in-law, Xiao Wu, is also a 100,000-year-old soul beast! This family tree is getting really complicated!]

[But right now, Gu Yuena is still sleeping deep within the Star Dou Forest.]

Xiao Wu was shocked. Although she had never heard of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, just the fact that Su Ming said she was the ruler of soul beasts put her far above Xiao Wu in terms of seniority. And now, this great ruler would eventually become her daughter-in-law?

Xiao Wu found it all quite unbelievable!

Even Bibi Dong felt a bit relieved—thankfully, Gu Yuena was still asleep. At the same time, she reminded herself to never venture too deep into the Star Dou Forest in the future. If Gu Yuena awakened, Bibi Dong was sure she wouldn't stand a chance against her!

[Tang Wulin's son, Tang Xuanyu, later married Bai Xiuxiu, a 100,000-year-old Devil Soul Great White Shark.]

[This family's luck is incredible. But I do wonder: if every generation of the Tang family marries soul beasts, won't their human bloodline keep diluting? By the time it reaches Tang Xuanyu's generation, there probably won't be much human blood left in him. Will they even still count as humans?]

[Anyway, none of this is going to happen anymore. With me, Su Ming, here, Xiao Wu is already my sister, and soon she'll be my wife. The Tang family tradition ends with Tang San!]

The girls burst into laughter. Su Ming was truly wicked!

[Speaking of this, I just realized that now that Xiao Wu sees me as her brother instead of Tang San, our relationship is much closer.]

[But here's the problem: Tang Hao, a Title Douluo, is secretly following Tang San and protecting him after they left Saint Soul Village for Notting City.]

[With Tang Hao's strength, he must have already figured out that Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast. But so far, he hasn't acted.]

[If things had followed the original storyline, Xiao Wu and Tang San would have gotten along really well and even slept in the same bed. That would have made Tang Hao see her as a future daughter-in-law for the Tang family.]

[But now that Xiao Wu is close to me instead of Tang San, will Tang Hao remain passive? Or will he try to capture her and keep her until Tang San can absorb her soul ring and bone?]

[It's not impossible. Even though Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin, is also a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he might handle Xiao Wu differently. That would only happen, though, if Xiao Wu and Tang San had a strong relationship!]

[If they didn't, any Title Douluo would be tempted to act upon encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast.]

[Besides, as I mentioned earlier, Ah Yin's forced sacrifice was likely orchestrated by Tang Hao. Otherwise, how did Qian Xunji discover she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Why didn't Tang Hao take Ah Yin into hiding?]

[Moreover, if Tang Hao truly cared about Ah Yin and wanted her to revive and grow stronger as quickly as possible, why did he leave her in a cave behind Saint Soul Village?]

[That place is completely unsuitable for Blue Silver Grass cultivation, let alone recovery. Ah Yin can barely regain her strength there! Only the Blue Silver Grass's ancestral land in the Star Dou Forest would be ideal for her cultivation.]

[Tang Hao knows this, so why didn't he take her there?]

[Tang Hao claimed it was so he could stay with her all the time, but if he truly wanted to see her, he could have chosen a better place. As a Title Douluo, he's strong enough to keep her safe!]

Su Ming's analysis left Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass body trembling slightly, and she looked somewhat withered. Her heart was in turmoil. Just as Su Ming had said, the cave's environment was unsuitable for her cultivation, but she hadn't thought much of it because Tang Hao said he wanted to be by her side. Now, thinking back, Ah Yin began to realize that he could have chosen a much better place for her recovery. Why hadn't she realized this before?

Moreover, just as Su Ming pointed out, Tang Hao knew the location of the Blue Silver Grass's ancestral land. After all, Tang San would need to go there later to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in his body and become the new Blue Silver Emperor!

Now, Ah Yin was finding it harder and harder to understand Tang Hao. It seemed like the more she thought about it, the more everything deviated from what she once believed.

[If Tang Hao really attacks Xiao Wu, what should I do? Right now, I don't have the strength to face him. But I've already said that I won't let Xiao Wu be harmed in any way.]

[I'll have to take it one step at a time. If Tang Hao dares to make a move, I'll do whatever it takes—even if it means risking my life. I'll make sure Tang Hao regrets it and give Xiao Wu enough time to escape to the Star Dou Forest to find Da Ming and Er Ming!]

[Though I'm weak now, if I burn my life force and use up all my potential, I should be able to temporarily boost my Sharingan and use high-level Wood Release techniques!]

[Of course, that would be the absolute last resort. If the system can't help me, I'll have no choice but to do this!]

Su Ming's sudden, serious words left all the girls in silence. It seemed Su Ming was truly serious about Xiao Wu—this wasn't just talk. Since his diary couldn't lie and he didn't know anyone was reading it, everything he wrote reflected his true feelings!

Xiao Wu was deeply moved, her eyes reddening. Stupid Su Ming—why did he have to write something so heavy all of a sudden?

Tang Hao won't discover my true identity anyway. Thanks to the diary's hidden aura rewards, I can conceal the fact that I'm a 100,000-year-old soul beast. And now that I've accepted you as my brother, there's no way I'd let you face danger alone!

You big idiot!
