In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Ye Lingling blushed and glanced at Lan Si, who appeared calm on the surface but was secretly overjoyed. She shook her head and stammered, "N-nothing."

The kitten, confused, turned its gaze to Lan Si, skipping over the previous topic, "A Si, after I fused with the head soul bone, my mental strength was enhanced like never before. I discovered that there seem to be two people guarding outside the door."

“I sensed it too, but they didn’t seem to have any ill intentions,” Ye Lingling continued.

"Yes, they are Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Spirit Hall, sent by the Pope to protect us." Lan Si nodded slightly and smiled, "Let's go, we've kept them waiting, we should go see the Pope now."

As she spoke, Lan Si opened the door.

Seeing Ye Lingling and the kitten, whose strength had clearly increased after absorbing the soul bone, Juhua Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of envy.

The five of them walked out of the hotel, and the moment they stepped out, they ran right into Qian Renxue, who had come looking for Lan Si, and the Porcupine Douluo who was acting as her bodyguard.

For a moment, the seven people stared at each other in disbelief.

Lan Si's lips twitched, and a bead of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He thought to himself that something terrible was about to happen.

......................

Meanwhile, at the intersection of the territory of Wuhun City and the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San frowned as he finished his cultivation. After several days of recuperation, his injuries had almost fully recovered. However, for some reason, ever since his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was cut... no, chiseled off by Lan Si, it had not grown back. In fact, he could no longer feel the presence of the Eight Spider Lances within his body.

Could it be that the Eight Spider Spears were destroyed too thoroughly and need more time to be repaired?

Even if it's severely damaged, it shouldn't be completely undetectable. Last time, Lan Si broke four of them during the promotion tournament, but they recovered in less than half a month. Strange... it's really too strange.

"Third Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Just as Tang San was wondering, Xiao Wu's voice rang out from the side.

"I'm fine." Tang San didn't want Xiao Wu to worry, so he shook his head and asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, how is your recovery going?"

Xiao Wu stood up, spun around in place, and smiled, "My injuries are completely healed now."

"Is that so? That's good, that's good." Tang San got up, rubbed Xiao Wu's head, and turned to look in the direction of the Spirit Hall. For some reason, he had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart these past two days. He murmured to himself, "Five days have passed. I wonder how my father is doing now. He should have already retrieved my mother's soul bone by now."

Just as Tang San was about to look away, a black dot suddenly appeared in his eyes on the distant horizon. The black dot was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Tang San could vaguely see the shape of the black dot. It was a black figure that he was familiar with, but what was strange was that the configuration of his spirit rings was very strange. There were only six spirit rings, purple-black-black-black-red. The first to third spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, had disappeared.

"Third Brother, is that your father?" At this moment, Xiao Wu also spotted Tang Hao's figure, looked up at the sky, and asked with lingering fear. It was obvious that Tang Hao's suggestion to Tang San to imprison her and use her as Tang San's future soul ring and soul bone had left her with a huge psychological shadow, and she was very resistant to this future father-in-law who was more than 90,000 years younger than her.

Tang San did not answer, because his attention was completely drawn to Tang Ritian. He saw Tang Ritian's figure swaying in the sky, and just as he was about to approach the mountain range where his son was, he plummeted straight down.

"Dad..." Tang San cried out in shock, and rushed off in the direction where Tang Ritian had fallen.

Seeing Tang San approach, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and followed closely behind.

Half an hour later, Tang San and his companion found Tang Ritian, whose clothes were stained with blood, in a waterfall river. When Tang San transferred his soul power, which contained the internal strength of the Xuan Tian Gong, into Tang Ritian's body to heal him, he was instantly stunned.

He discovered that Tang Ritian's meridians were tangled in many places, his internal organs were not in their original positions, and his meridians were abnormally disordered.

What surprised Tang San even more was that Tang Ritian's soul power had dropped to level eighty-one.

What exactly happened? Why did it turn out like this? Even though Bibi Dong cut off his arm in Wuhun City a few days ago, he shouldn't have suffered such a severe injury and his strength should have declined so drastically.

Against the Gods

Taking a deep breath, with tears in his eyes, Tang San straightened Tang Ritian's body without hesitation, sat cross-legged directly opposite Tang Ritian, and transferred all of his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy and soul power into Tang Ritian's body.

He knew that with the injuries Tang Ritian had suffered at this moment, if he did not receive some medical treatment, he might never wake up again.

Chapter 257 The Kitten and Qian Renxue's First Meeting

"Hiss..." After Tang San's persistent treatment, Tang Ritian finally woke up after teetering on the brink of death. The intense pain in his body made him gasp for breath. He looked at his son, who was covered in sweat, with blurry eyes and murmured, "Is it Xiao San?"

"Yes, Dad, it's me, I'm Xiao San." Tang San's voice was choked with sobs. Having lived two lives, he had lacked love since childhood and desperately craved it. Now that he finally had a father, he was suffering such torment, which pained him deeply.

He desperately wanted to know why his solo fight against seven Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall had turned into this mess after he went out to intercept Lan Si.

Has Lan Si become strong enough to defeat his own father?

"Xiao San, stop, I'm fine now," Tang Hao said weakly, his breathing erratic.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated within Tang Ritian's body for the last time. Tang San slowly withdrew his last remaining strength and asked excitedly, "Dad, why... why did you become like this? Who injured you like this? If I hadn't saved you in time... you might already be..."

By the end, Tang San was sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ritian fell silent, recalling the scene of being attacked by a mysterious masked woman and two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall. He could hardly believe his eyes. In this world, besides Qian Daoliu and the deceased Qian Xunji, there was actually someone who possessed the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, and at such a young age, had already reached the Soul Saint level, possessing strength comparable to a Title Douluo.

If he hadn't forcibly used the explosive ring at the crucial moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to return.

"Dad, tell me quickly, who hurt you like this? And how come your cultivation level has also dropped..." Tang San asked again, his eyes bloodshot.

"You've already noticed?" Tang Ritian pondered for a moment, then sighed, "This injury actually started a long time ago, and I've gotten used to it over the years. It's just that it worsened after the two consecutive battles. In fact, a few days ago, ever since Bibi Dong cut off my arm and caused my soul bone to explode, my cultivation has been gradually declining, until a day ago, when I completely fell from the Title Douluo realm."

At this point, Tang Ritian's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said solemnly, "While I was guarding outside Wuhun City, waiting for Lan Si to come out, three people attacked me. Two of them were Title Douluos who had fought against me together with Bibi Dong in front of the Pope's Palace. The other one was a blonde woman. She was masked at the time, so I couldn't see her face clearly, but I knew she was very young, probably only a few years older than Hu Liena, and her cultivation had already reached the Soul Saint level. But that's not the most important thing; her martial soul is a six-winged angel."

"A six-winged angel? A Soul Saint in his early twenties?" Tang San exclaimed in shock. He knew that the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it was to improve. He had broken through to the Soul Master level at fourteen. If he hadn't switched to cultivating a second martial soul, he probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the Soul King level for another two or three years. The Soul Emperor level would take even longer; before the age of twenty, there was absolutely no hope. As for the Soul Saint level, he would probably have to wait until he was almost thirty.

Even now, to break through to the Soul Saint level, one would probably have to be over twenty-five years old.

Now, a Soul Saint in his early twenties has suddenly appeared, and his Martial Soul is the legendary super Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel. How could he not be shocked?

Tang Ritian nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice, "The Six-Winged Angel is a super martial soul, even surpassing the Clear Sky Hammer in quality. That girl is exceptionally talented; at the Soul Saint stage, she already possesses strength comparable to a Title Douluo. If nothing unexpected happens, she is the daughter of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall. If you ever encounter her, you must be extremely careful. Perhaps, for you, she will be an even stronger opponent than Lan Si."

"I understand, Dad." Tang San nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with determination.

Tang Ritian turned his gaze to Xiao Wu beside him. Without any preamble, he went straight to the point: "You should leave. I will personally guide Xiao San's cultivation from now on. Your presence by his side will only do him harm."

"Are you really against us being together?" Xiao Wu asked sadly.

"Dad, why are you against me being with Xiao Wu?" Tang San asked hurriedly upon hearing this.

Tang Ritian smiled faintly and shook his head: "I'm not against you two being together. Your mother is also a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Didn't I make the same choice as you back then? It's just different now. Thanks to the Spirit Hall's propaganda, almost all the soul masters on the Douluo Continent now know Xiao Wu's identity. There are many who want to obtain her soul rings and soul bones. Rather than having Xiao Wu constantly facing danger by your side, it's better to let her return to the Star Dou Great Forest. That way, the safety of both of you can be guaranteed."

"Little San, I'll wait for you over there. You can say your final goodbye to her. Afterwards, I'll take you to cultivate."

After saying that, Tang Ritian stood up and, without waiting for Tang San to reply, slowly left with his body riddled with wounds, leaving only Tang San and Xiao Wu staring at each other.

............

Meanwhile, as Tang San and Xiao Wu bid each other a reluctant farewell, Lan Si was also feeling uneasy.

Strolling along the only way to the Papal Palace, he was held on either side of Qian Renxue and the kitten, his arms nestled in the soft embrace of the two women.

Ye Lingling followed beside her.

The three titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum Pass, Ghostly Charm, and Porcupine Douluo, had sensed something was wrong and had already made their escape.

Although the road from the hotel to the Papal Palace was not long, Lan Si felt as if each day was an eternity, experiencing both pain and joy.

"Ah Si, aren't you going to properly introduce this older sister to me?" These were the first words Zhu Zhuqing said after meeting Qian Renxue.

Faced with this stunningly beautiful woman, whose beauty even she found breathtaking, she immediately grabbed her boyfriend's arm to assert her ownership.

tsxsw.la

The kitten was undoubtedly hostile.

Unfortunately, she couldn't defeat her opponent, and even the three Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall had to call her Young Master, showing her great respect.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Left with no other choice, she had to grab onto Lan Si's other arm in a silent act of resistance.

“Yes, Ah Si, I’d also like to get to know this young lady.” Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly.

Her affectionate way of calling him "A-Si" made the kitten uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and said coldly, "My name is Zhu Zhuqing. This sister... A-Si is my boyfriend. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to be hugging him like this."

Qian Renxue said "Oh," and a teasing look flashed across Wei Ling's phoenix eyes. "So you're A Si's little girlfriend. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Renxue, and I'm A Si's betrothed since childhood."

Chapter 258 Lan Si's Answer (Remastered Version)

After Qian Renxue uttered the words, "I am A-Si's betrothed since childhood," Lan Si did not deny it. The little kitten then fell silent, only tightening its grip on Lan Si's hand, as if afraid of losing him. It waited quietly for his reply.

Qian Renxue was also waiting; she was waiting for Lan Si to make a choice.

She is a descendant of the Angel Clan, the young master of the Spirit Hall, the most powerful force on the continent, and the possessor of the divine-level spirit, the Six-Winged Angel. She possesses innate spirit power at level twenty. Her grandfather is also a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo.

With so many dazzling accolades bestowed upon her, she developed an arrogant personality.

No matter how much she loves Lan Si, she could never bring herself to share him with other women.

In the past, she could convince herself with the eight-year agreement, believing that after the eight-year agreement ended, Lan Si would belong to her alone.

But ever since her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, revealed Lan Si's desire to establish a harem, she realized the truth.

She absolutely could not tolerate the absurd situation of two women sharing one husband happening to her.

Ye Lingling silently mourned for her little cousin. She realized that the sudden appearance of this girl named Qian Renxue to meet with Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat unexpected by Lan Si, catching him off guard.

The four of them strolled up the stone steps of Papal Hill, and no one spoke a word along the way.

Lan Si was still being held by the kitten and Qian Renxue on either side, with Ye Lingling following closely behind.

Before long, the four of them arrived at a fork in the road halfway up Papal Hill. Turning right here would lead to the Papal Palace at the very top, while turning left would lead to a pavilion not far away.

Lan hesitated for a moment, then pulled his hands away from the two beauties' soft embrace and led them straight to the pavilion.

Surprisingly, Ye Lingling didn't follow them. She stood quietly by the roadside and waited, confident that her little cousin could handle the situation.

As they entered the pavilion, Lan Si released their hands and turned to look at them.

After graduating from Notting Academy, he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his third soul ring. On the way, he encountered a kitten being chased by Zhu Zhuyun. He then went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Soul Devouring Spider and met Qian Renxue. In order to survive, he had no choice but to make up lies. Eventually, the two, each with their own thoughts, came together by accident.

During this time, Lan confirmed her relationship with the kitten in Soto City.

Finally, Qian Renxue discovered him and they made an eight-year promise.

He recounted everything, one by one.

"That's roughly how things went," Lan Si said with a sense of relief.

"So, this is your reason for wanting to build a harem?" Qian Renxue took a step closer to Lan Si, and the three of them formed a triangle, looking directly at Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing, the girl who was born in the same month and year as her boyfriend.
