Chapter 146 Where Did Daddy Go_2

Its heart clenched suddenly.

But aside from being anxious, there was nothing it could do.

Time passed incredibly slowly at this moment, each minute, each second was torment.

It was unclear how long had passed until the Thunderous Force finally began to fade.

And the figure in the sky had started to become illusory.

There were even dense cracks all over his body, like a shattered piece of porcelain.

With his every movement, specks of light peeled away from him...

"It's over, he didn't succeed in overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation. The life force is disappearing at an alarming rate, and soon he will no longer exist in this world!"

By now, the Three-Eyed San Ne knew the condition of that figure.

What a pity.

In this world, there was nothing it could do.

Meanwhile, that figure had already landed on the ground, pushing apart the bushes to reveal a large golden egg.

"There can't be two Auspicious Beasts at the same time, my disappearance can bring about your arrival."

"Little guy, enjoy your life," he said.

"Too bad I can't see what you'll look like after you're born. But I think you'll be as handsome as Daddy, haha."

From the eyes of that grand San Ne, the Three-Eyed San Ne saw affection.

Amidst the laughter, that grand San Ne finally became tiny spots of light, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Just then, the golden egg became full of vitality...

Having witnessed all this, the Three-Eyed San Ne's mind went blank.

It had not expected that within the Soul Fragment memories of Qin Xiao... such a shocking secret was hidden.

"That egg is me!"

"And that disappearing San Ne, is my father..."

"He faced that terrifying Heavenly Tribulation just to sacrifice his life, so that I could come into this world."

At that moment, it was moved.

"Wait, the appearance of my father's Soul Fragment in that human boy's memory... does that mean he is the reincarnation of my father?"

"No, I must return to reality!"

Thinking this, the Three-Eyed San Ne immediately exited the Soul Fragment.

It reopened its eyes and in front of it was the familiar Aquipeia Forest.

"Auspicious Beast, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this?"

"Did those damned guys actually do something to you?"

"Damn it, I knew they were no good, I'm going to find Emperor Tian right now to help you get revenge!"

Red King's three heads were gabbing incessantly to one another.

However.

The Three-Eyed San Ne was not listening to a word Red King said; its three eyes were frantically searching, yet it couldn't find the figure it was looking for.

"Where's the person?"

It asked Red King.

The person? Red King was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly replied, "Everyone has left!"

"You, how could you let them go?"

"Isn't it because you just said it's fine, you don't blame them..."

"I..."

The Three-Eyed San Ne was at a loss for words for a while.

Indeed, it had said something similar just now, so there wasn't anything wrong with what Red King had said.

"I get it, you were just worried about provoking them and the two of us couldn't handle them, right?"

Red King's eyes shifted, guessing at something, "It's alright, I've already sent a message to Emperor Tian, he will descend soon."

And at the next moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"What's happened? I just felt a powerful soul power fluctuation. Red King, were you fighting with someone?"

A black light fell in front of Red King.

Unexpectedly, the newcomer was not a soul beast.

It was a middle-aged man in a black robe.

He had a pair of horns on his forehead which was not normal, and his pupils were vertical like those of a snake, and they were golden.

"Emperor Tian!"

"You're finally here."

Red King heard the voice, and excitement showed in all six of his eyes.

Emperor Tian said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Get to the point."

"Here's the thing. Previously, the Sect Master Poison Not Dead took two youngsters into the Aquipeia Forest and made a move against an Auspicious Beast..."

Red King recounted the events to Emperor Tian.

Emperor Tian did not interrupt Red King throughout the tale but listened quietly.

Only after Red King had finished did he turn his gaze to the Three-Eyed San Ne and asked, "Did they actually harm you? Tell me the truth.

Don't worry about whether it will lead to war between humans and the Soul Beast Clan. Sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Besides, we of the Soul Beast Clan have never feared war."

Emperor Tian's voice was clear and forceful, resounding like a bell.

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed San Ne shook its head quickly, "Emperor Tian, I am fine. I am really fine..."

At this moment, its heart was deeply conflicted.

If it had not known Qin Xiao's identity, even without Emperor Tian's urging, it would probably have encouraged Emperor Tian to seek revenge for itself.

But now, things were different.

It had come to know Qin Xiao's identity, and that was its father!

He had chosen to give his life for it to be born!

"Emperor Tian, let's just go back," it suggested.

No matter what, it couldn't let Emperor Tian harm its father.

Emperor Tian looked deeply at the Three-Eyed San Ne and said, "Little guy, now you know how terrifying humans can be, right?

From now on, unless it's necessary, don't venture close to the edge of the Aquipeia Forest. If something really happens, even if I wanted to help you, it would be too late."

Upon hearing that, the Three-Eyed San Ne shrank its neck, its eyes showing a hint of grievance, appearing like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Red King immediately shielded the Three-Eyed San Ne behind him, saying, "Emperor Tian, it's not entirely this little one's fault. As its guardian, I also bear inescapable responsibility for such an incident."

After all, ever since the Three-Eyed San Ne had been discovered, he had been protecting it, silently accompanying it for over ten thousand years.

Even a pig cared for ten thousand years would form an attachment, so in his heart he had long since regarded the Three-Eyed San Ne as his own child.

"Sigh."

Emperor Tian suddenly let out a sigh. "Who doesn't consider it their own child? But sometimes you have to be strict when it's necessary. It's for its own good, to prevent it from making even bigger mistakes in the future..."

As Emperor Tian spoke, he seemed to lose interest.

With a lackluster wave of his hand, he said, "Enough, let it go for now. Let's head back."

Saying so, Emperor Tian led the way toward the depths of the Aquipeia Forest.

The Three-Eyed San Ne glanced at the direction outside the forest as if accidentally revealing something.

At that moment, it made up its mind to leave the Aquipeia Forest and head to the human world to find its father...

But... with its status, achieving this step was difficult and required careful planning.

"Let's go. We'll let those despicable guys off this time.

Next time we meet, I'll definitely skin them and turn their tendons into rubber bands to play with!" Red King suggested fiercely.

...

On the other side.

Under the guidance of Poison Not Dead, Qin Xiao and Vina also reached the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest.

"Phew, thankfully we made it out."

Poison Not Dead looked back at the direction of the Aquipeia Forest with lingering fear and said, "Let me tell you, the Aquipeia Forest is not to be underestimated. When we were leaving, I felt a powerful presence approaching, likely the master of the Soul Beast Clan, revered by many soul beasts as the Beast God, Emperor Tian!"

"There's such a powerful being hidden in the Aquipeia Forest?"

Vina was utterly shocked.

She couldn't imagine how strong a being must be to cause even the Sect Master to be wary.

Poison Not Dead laughed and said, "Of course. How could the Soul Beast Clan dare to launch beast waves against humans if they didn't have such combat power?"

Qin Xiao didn't speak.

But in his heart, he secretly muttered: What kind of master of the Soul Beast Clan is Emperor Tian?

Doesn't the true Soul Beast Regent Gu Yuena have any prestige?

Emperor Tian is at most a spokesperson for Gu Yuena... hardly worth mentioning.

All of a sudden, Poison Not Dead turned back to ask, "Hey, Qin Xiao, are you coming or not?"

He and Vina had walked some distance away, only to find that Qin Xiao was still standing still.

Qin Xiao shrugged, "We might not be able to leave now."

"What happened?"

"Let me first obtain a Soul Ring..."
