Chapter 11 Tang San, I'll Take Your Mother Away First!
Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin?!
Tang San's mother?
Damn, how could I forget about her!
Her importance isn't just herself; it's that she comes with a treasure by her side right now!
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone—the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone!
For a moment, Xiao Yin's mind raced with thoughts.
"The mission isn't difficult; the hard part is that Tang Hao is tough to deal with right now!
However, since the mission highlights Ah Yin's intense obsession with loneliness, doesn't that imply Tang Hao hasn't visited in a long time?
Or perhaps that guy isn't even in the Heaven Dou Empire right now?!"
Recalling the lonely, mournful cries revealed in the mission, Xiao Yin couldn't help but think of his own helplessness when he was expelled from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect...
We are both wanderers in this world...
"System, location!"
Xiao Yin's voice was low and decisive, a hint of determination gleaming in his eyes.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
As long as he moves quickly and covertly enough!
No matter how strong Tang Hao is, he's out of reach now!
[Ding! The target location has been marked on the host's mental map!]
A clear mental map instantly emerged in Xiao Yin's mind, with a flickering light spot marked in the northwest.
He didn't hesitate, his body turning into a gust of wind as he rushed toward the target at full speed.
Five hours later, Xiao Yin's figure neared the location marked on the map.
Before him was a turbulent river, its waters roaring as they fell from a cliff, forming a waterfall that wasn't particularly large.
The mist was thick, obscuring the view.
The mark on the mental map pointed directly behind this waterfall!
Xiao Yin took a deep breath, mobilized his soul power to protect his body, and plunged through the waterfall!
After passing through the water curtain and reaching the deepest part of the cave, he found a simple stone chamber.
The room was filled with a faint scent of life... and a lingering sense of loneliness and sadness.
There was nothing else in the stone chamber except a small mound of earth, on which a peculiar Blue Silver Grass was quietly growing.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yin still couldn't wrap his head around it.
Tang Hao clearly knew of the Blue Silver King's existence and that sacrificing it could speed up Ah Yin's recovery, yet he hid Ah Yin away in a cave!
Planting a plant seed in a cave—what a bizarre idea!
Xiao Yin squatted down and observed carefully.
It was completely different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
The grass leaves were broad and thick, displaying a blue-gold color as warm as jade, exuding a soft and noble temperament.
However, beneath this dignity, Xiao Yin, with his powerful mental strength, could clearly "hear" a silent wail—
Cold, dark, and boundless loneliness spread from the grass like a tide, almost flooding the entire cave.
"The light... so cold... so dark... Hao... where are you…"
The faint whisper of the soul, filled with heartbreaking despair, resounded directly in Xiao Yin's sea of consciousness.
This was the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin!
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast who transformed into a human and sacrificed everything for Tang Hao's wife!
But now, only a remnant of her soul remained in this fragile royal grass, enduring loneliness and waiting for her husband, who might return at an unknown time.
Xiao Yin's heartstrings were deeply touched.
"What a man, Tang Hao! He made his wife suffer so much just to revive her? This so-called deep affection is so selfish!"
But he quickly suppressed that inappropriate pity and resentment.
The mission must be completed!
He approached cautiously, careful not to disturb this fragile soul.
His powerful mental power, like the most sophisticated scanner, instantly enveloped the entire Blue Silver Emperor.
"Blue Silver Emperor," Xiao Yin attempted to communicate with his mental strength, his voice gentle yet firm, carrying a soothing power.
"I'm here to take you away from here, away from this eternal loneliness."
The pervasive wailing seemed to pause for a moment.
The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor swayed gently without wind, as if probing in confusion.
A faint but clear thought responded:
"Who… are you? Leave… me?… Hao… will be angry… he… will find me…"
"Me? I'm here to save you. I'm… just like you…"
Xiao Yin revealed the aura of his Taotie spirit.
He suddenly realized that posing as a transformed soul beast was quite useful!
He made a mental note to check the system mall later for props to solidify the disguise identity Xiao Wu had assumed for him!
"As for Tang Hao?"
Xiao Yin's mental power carried a deliberately guided sigh and coldness:
"I've heard of him. If he truly cared about you, how could he bear to imprison you alone in this dark cage, leaving you to endure this endless loneliness and coldness?
You sacrificed yourself for him, gave him a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, but all he's given you is waiting and pain.
Think about it carefully—how long has it been since he last came to see you? Is such 'protection' and such 'affection' worth your waiting?
Is it worth it?"
Xiao Yin's words were like a cold chisel, striking hard at the already fragile defenses of Ah Yin's remnant soul.
Yes… endless darkness, biting cold, eternal loneliness… Hao, where are you?
Why leave me here alone?
Is your love to lock me in darkness?
Or… have you forgotten me?
The grievance and pain, long suppressed, surged out like a flood breaking a dam under Xiao Yin's mental guidance!
The remnant soul's thoughts fluctuated violently, filled with struggle.
Under the immense pain and Xiao Yin's instigation, Ah Yin's remnant soul burst out with a dazzling blue light!
It was the desire for freedom and a prayer for liberation!
The blue light lasted for a few seconds, then… it faded…
Xiao Yin sensed that she seemed to have… gone offline?
"Hey, wake up, hey, are you okay?"
Ah Yin: …
If not for his mental power still detecting Ah Yin's remnant soul, Xiao Yin would've thought his words had "killed" her!
Seeing that she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, Xiao Yin shrugged helplessly.
Then, using his mental power to scan the surrounding stone walls, he suddenly slapped a protruding spot with his palm!
Boom—!
A black box fell from the cave wall!
"It's here!"
Xiao Yin carefully opened the lead box. The moment it opened, an overwhelming life force surged toward him!
A crystal-clear blue-gold soul bone emerged!
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone—the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone!
After gazing at it for a few seconds, Xiao Yin suppressed his desire, placed it back in the box, and stored it in his soul guide.
The location wasn't suitable, and Xiao Yin planned to obtain his second soul ring and break through to Level 20 before absorbing it.
Otherwise, wouldn't the energy in the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone be wasted?
"Looks like I need to hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest, or this level cap will be too restrictive…"
After saying that, Xiao Yin transplanted Ah Yin into a makeshift flowerpot.
He then planted a piece of ordinary Blue Silver Grass, picked up from the roadside on his way here, in the original spot, turned around, and left.
Standard procedure.
Oh, and before leaving, he sprinkled the packet of Shadow Invisibility Powder along his path.
Stay cautious, stay safe!
