Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

"All this big oaf does is run! Run! Run! Is his brain just a mess of mush except for Ah Yin's last words?!"

Cinderella is now completely speechless about Tang Hao.

At first, she was also saddened by Ah Yin's death, but she was an adult after all and knew that the dead could not be brought back to life, so she quickly adjusted her state of mind.

She figured Tang Hao must be feeling really bad right now, so she decided not to bother him. Therefore, on her escape, Cinderella perfectly controlled her current physiological reactions as an infant.

but!

Tang Hao carried her and Ah Yin's newborn baby for an entire day!

Throughout the day, Tang Hao would occasionally shout out, completely oblivious to the fact that he was carrying two infants.

Cinderella turned her head and looked at the baby who was still sleeping soundly beside her.

With a sigh, I noticed the little guy's face was wrinkled, and his lips were now turning a bit purple from hunger and cold.

"Hey! Wake up, little one!"

Cinderella poked Tang San's little face with her hand, trying to wake him up. She was worried that the child would starve to death right after birth.

And she's so hungry right now; she hasn't eaten anything all day.

In addition to that, Cinderella now has something even worse to do.

"Ugh..."

She felt an intense urge to urinate and was about to burst!

When has she ever suffered like this under Ah Yin's meticulous care?

"Oh my god! Someone save me! Someone do something about this unreliable, big, dumb guy!"

Cinderella was on the verge of tears.

She missed the days when Ah Yin was around. Ah Yin was always so gentle and caring, taking care of everything perfectly, from feeding time to changing diapers.

Tang Hao only needed to stand by and watch with a silly grin, or awkwardly give her a hug.

But now? Only one day after Amber left, Cinderella felt like she was experiencing hellish baby life ahead of time.

Looking at Tang San, who was sleeping soundly beside her, she felt a surge of strong sympathy.

“Little one, you’re even worse off than me. You were just born, you didn’t even remember your mother’s face before she was gone. And now you have such a father…”

She simply couldn't imagine what her future life would be like.

Cinderella also tried to remind Tang Hao by crying.

"Wow—!" (I'm hungry!)

"Waaah—!" (I need to use the restroom)

"Waaaaahh ...

However, Tang Hao, immersed in boundless pain and frantic escape, had completely cut himself off from the outside world.

Cinderella's loud cries were completely inaudible to Tang Hao.

Finally, just as Cinderella felt like she was about to burst from holding her pee and was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, Tang Hao stumbled and crashed heavily into a huge ancient tree, finally coming to a stop.

He leaned against the rough, cold tree trunk, panting heavily, not because he was tired, but because he was once again feeling that suffocating grief.

Tang Hao lowered his head and looked at the cocoon in his arms, which was still emitting a soft blue light.

The light from the cocoon dimmed somewhat.

Tang Hao stared intently at the cocoon with bloodshot eyes, as if he could see Ah Yin through it.

He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch it, but then pulled it back as if he had been burned.

"A-Yin!"

Inside the cocoon, Cinderella watched as Tang Hao finally lowered his head, and she immediately began to cry loudly.

"Waaaaah—!!"

"Child...child?"

After hearing Cinderella's cries, Tang Hao finally realized that there were two more children inside the cocoon he was holding.

They were two tiny, vulnerable babies, crying for milk.

At this moment, another wave of immense guilt surged into Tang Hao's heart. What had he done?

He had completely forgotten about his two children with Ah Yin!

Chapter 25 Lin Wan: I'm too handsome

"I'm...I'm sorry, Gintoki, I'm sorry, children."

Tang Hao lowered his head and pressed his forehead tightly against the blue cocoon.

Hot tears mixed with blood and dust on his face, silently streaming down his face.

Inside the luminous cocoon, Cinderella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God! You've finally noticed that we're still just kids! Thank God!"

……

In Tianshuang City, Lin Wan was greatly shocked after learning about Cinderella's experiences.

According to Lin Wan's original plan, Cinderella would be adopted by an ordinary family in the Heaven Dou Empire, grow up normally, and then awaken her martial soul step by step. With her excellent talent, she would become a core member no matter which academy she entered, and thus gain prestige.

This is the storyline that Lin Wan envisioned for most fairy tale characters who are infants, such as Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Little Match Girl. They all started as infants and have now been adopted by others because of the unique charm of fairy tale characters.

But man proposes, God disposes. Lin Wan never expected that Cinderella would be adopted by Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and that she would be born in the same year as the protagonist Tang San.

Now that Cinderella has a relationship with the protagonist, Lin Wan will have to revise the previous plans.

After all, Lin Wan wasn't fond of Shrek Academy or the main characters, especially since Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, was an ancient person who was blindly filial and would often say that you had already prepared to die.

Lin Wan really didn't want to deal with someone so emotionally unstable.

But things are different now; Cinderella has become Tang San's older sister.

You see, blindly being filial to anyone is not true filial piety for Tang San. He might as well just be filial to Cinderella and become her loyal little dog.

If you say there's Tang Hao ahead of Cinderella, then Lin Wan is even less worried.

Everyone knows Tang Hao's state of mind; he became self-destructive after Ah Yin's death.

In the original novel, it's more accurate to say that Tang San was taking care of him rather than him taking care of Tang San.

After Ah Yin's death, Tang Hao became completely useless, spending his days immersed in pain and alcohol. Apart from instilling hatred in Tang San about how his mother was killed by the Spirit Hall, he didn't give Tang San much substantial fatherly love or guidance.

Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood was entirely due to his own extraordinary abilities.

Now, Tang San has a gentle, beautiful, and kind older sister who accompanies him day and night.

Lin Wan believed that with Cinderella's abilities and methods, replacing the decadent Tang Hao and becoming the most important person in Tang San's heart would be a piece of cake!

As for Tang Hao, he will only become a foil for Cinderella to farm Tang San's filial piety points.

At that time:

Tang San: Sister, someone is disrespecting you!

Cinderella gracefully waved her hand: Forget about the mistress, he doesn't deserve to die.

Tang San put away the Haotian Hammer and obediently replied, "Yes, sister is right."

Tang San: Sister, this magic herb will be useful to you!

Cinderella smiled: "My little sister is so good, I like her very much."

Tang San presents a precious document: I'm glad my sister likes it!

The thought of this scene filled Lin Wan with a sense of wonder.

Lin Wan quickly used the system to give Cinderella a general overview of Tang San's future.

Upon receiving Lin Wan's message, Cinderella turned to look at the baby blinking beside her and exclaimed, "How can a newborn baby be so obedient? It turns out it's a fake baby!"

She stretched out her finger and poked Tang San's face hard.

"I never expected you, little brat, to be the main character."

……

After conveying Tang San's message and arrangements to Cinderella, Lin Wan turned her attention back to reality.

His first semester at the Tianshuang City Junior Soul Master Academy has ended, and he is currently packing his things in the work-study dormitory, waiting for Old Drus to arrive so they can return to Hanbei Village together.

A few days ago, old Drus made a special trip to Skyfrost City with the village's hunting party.

After meeting Lin Wan, he first asked her when she would be on vacation. After getting the specific date, he asked her whether she would go back to Hanbei Village or stay in Tianshuang City during her vacation.

Old Drus asked for this information because Lin Wan is now a Soul Master, unlike before when she was a child who needed to be taken care of by the village.

Lin Wan gave an affirmative answer to the question about old Drews without hesitation.

After all, Lin Wan had stayed in Hanbei Village for three years, which was his first home.

After receiving Lin Wan's affirmative answer, Old Drews held Lin Wan's hand and talked on and on, and even made an appointment with Lin Wan to come and pick her up at a certain time.

Lin Wan wanted to decline, after all, he was now a level 15 Soul Master, and his physical condition was much better than before. Traveling back alone would be easy for him.

But when he saw the worry in old Drews' eyes, he swallowed his refusal.

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Drew." Lin Wan replied with a smile.

Lin Wan knew perfectly well why old Drews insisted on coming.

As his soul power broke through to level 10 and he absorbed the soul ring, his already outstanding appearance seemed to transform and sublimate over time.

Just as a rough jade is meticulously carved and polished, and a bright pearl is washed clean of all its dust.

Her short, silvery-white hair now shimmered like the finest moonlight silk.

Her azure eyes became even more deep and captivating, and her skin was now so fair it was almost translucent, gleaming with a warm and delicate luster like jade under the light.

What is most striking is his aura. The noble charm brought by the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul makes Lin Wan seem like an elf who has stepped out of a painting. She has both breathtaking beauty and an unapproachable sense of distance.

It can be said that Lin Wan's current level of beauty has reached an extremely dangerous level.

Despite Lin Wan’s deliberate efforts to keep a low profile within the academy, many people still kept a close eye on him.

To this, Lin Wan could only reply: "Brother is too handsome, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Wan was well aware of his own handsomeness, after all, he saw his face every day.

In Lin Wan's view, the current state of Douluo Continent is a combination of the corrupt feudal landlord class and the jungle law of the supremacy of power.

The nobles and powerful Soul Masters wield absolute power and resources.

In their eyes, ordinary people, especially those without power, are no different from ants.

Whatever they covet—whether it's precious soul bones, rare herbs, or beautiful young men and women—can be obtained by their henchmen with just a word or even a glance.

Power, wealth, and beautiful women are all their playthings and collectibles.

Lin Wan was very self-aware. He was certain that with his current level of handsomeness, if he didn't try to hide it, he would definitely be noticed by some people with special fetishes and then kidnapped.

Therefore, Lin Wan would make some modifications to his face almost every day, trying to make himself look less handsome.

Chapter 26 Attack

However, even after Lin Wan's disguise was made, Old Drew still considered it extremely dangerous.

Old Drus had lived for decades and knew the darkness of the Douluo Continent all too well.

Therefore, he is still a little worried about this future Soul Master in their village.

……

The appointed time arrived quickly.

Lin Wan also packed his luggage. He didn't have much to take back, just a few changes of clothes and a few books of Soul Beast Illustrated Guide and Continental Geography borrowed from the library.

Although Lin Wan concealed his face, the enhancement brought to Lin Wan by the Nine-Tailed Fox was from the inside out. He stood quietly downstairs in the dormitory building, still looking out of place in the rough work-study environment around him, attracting the attention of passing students and teachers.

"Xiao Wan, over here!"
