[I Am an Orphan: You snatched it that fast?]
[Ma Xiaotao: Is this the external Spirit BoneSu Yan mentioned before? It's my first time seeing one!]
[Winter Cutie: Is it really that amazing?]
[Dark Avenger: Of course external Spirit Bones are amazing. The Tang Sect ancestor Tang San had one back then, and it eventually evolved—wait, what?]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya suddenly went blank.
What?
She scrolled up through the chat history, utterly speechless.
[Dark Avenger: Su Yan, you sly dog, you just stole Tang San's external Spirit Bone!]
[Group Member Number Nine: You call Tang San 'ancestor', but Tang San treats you like a dog on a leash.]
[I Am a Little Bird: Still planning to revive that lousy Tang Sect of yours?]
[Dark Avenger: Damn it! I see it now—neither Tang San nor Su Yan is a good person, none of them!]
[Su Yan: First, this Man Faced Demon Spider belongs to Dragon Grandfather and Snake Grandmother. Second, it's two-thousand-years old. I caught Tang San a one-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider as a gift.]
[Su Yan: Tell me, have you read Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Theory? The limit for a third spirit ring is 1,760 years. This spider is over two thousand. You so-called descendant only knows how to yell; you don't care if your Tang Sect ancestor Tang San lives or dies. Only a good buddy like me feels for him.]
[Su Yan: And when did I ever say I was a good person?]
[Dark Avenger: ???]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya was dumbfounded.
Huh?
Something feels off here.
Whoever heard of a villain being so righteous?!
[Ma Xiaotao: ???]
[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: True bro?]
[Winter Cutie: This doesn't seem right...]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Hahaha!!]
[Liu Erlong: I'm dying here. We call him scoundrel every day, and you thought he was a good guy?]
[Su Yan: Dark Avenger, let me ask you one last thing—if I give you this growable external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, do you want it or not?]
[Dark Avenger: You'd really give it to me?]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya was stunned.
Overwhelmed by favor.
Su Yan is actually giving me an external Spirit Bone?
Growable—the very Eight Spider Lances that Tang Sect ancestor Tang San had!
Is he trying to woo me?
[Su Yan: In your dreams!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Hahaha!!]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Brother Su Yan, you're so naughty; I love it.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Su Yan, I don't want this Spirit Bone. It'll look ugly and doesn't match my Spirit at all!]
[Su Yan: If you all say so, I guess none of the girls want it. It'll just sit in storage and collect dust.]
[Cat in the Shadows: I don't want it.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: I don't want it either.]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: It really doesn't suit any of us—just toss it!]
[Dark Avenger: ???]
[Group Member Number Nine: Actually, this Spirit Bone would suit His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff quite well; it matches his Spirit perfectly.]
[Hu Liena: My teacher already has every Spirit Bone, external ones included—and I have an external Spirit Bone too!]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: You have an external Spirit Bone?]
[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: Aren't external Spirit Bones extremely rare?]
[Winter Cutie: Almost never seen.]
Spirit Hall.
Popes Bedchamber.
Hu Liena lay on Bibi Dong's bed, releasing her Fox Tail—fluffy pink and adorable.
[Hu Liena: pic (Fox Tail)]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Foxy Liena?]
[I Am an Orphan: ...]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: You're really a Fox Spirit, huh? Look, her tail's out for everyone to see!]
[Ma Xiaotao: Xiaoya, suddenly I feel that if you could become Bibi Dong's disciple, it'd be pretty great!]
[Dark Avenger: ???]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya's head hurt; she was furious!
That scoundrel Su Yan is just too wicked.
If you won't give it, fine.
But joking and lying, saying it'll rot in storage—I never liked your external Spirit Bone anyway!
Hateful.
And I'll never become Bibi Dong's disciple—I'd rather starve, jump off a cliff, than take her as master.
And you jerks, don't think I can't tell you're deliberately needling me. Aside from Sister Xiao Tao, there's not a single good person in this Group Chat!
Star Dou Great Forest.
Su Yan returned with Ning Rongrong and the others.
Tang San still stood there, eyes full of reluctance.
"Is it really dead?"
Su Yan blinked. "Dead. Died quick and clean—one slap turned it into a specimen."
"What're you dawdling for? Hurry and absorb your spirit ring so we can head back."
Zhao Wuji added, exasperated:
"Kid, quit overthinking. Even if that Man Faced Demon Spider's age is a bit low, it still belongs to Senior Dragon Grandfather and Snake Grandmother—nothing to do with you. Su Yan caught you a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider; still not satisfied?"
Dragon Grandfather and Snake Grandmother hadn't left, planning to chat with Su Yan. Hearing Su Yan and Zhao Wuji talk about Tang San, they couldn't help chiming in:
"Young man, Man Faced Demon Spiders are rare. A thousand-year third ring might sound low, but if it's a Man Faced Demon Spider, it's absolutely fine."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all looked at Tang San.
Honestly.
A Man Faced Demon Spider is great—rarer even than a Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake. The age is slightly lower, but it's a Man Faced Demon Spider!
Tang San, a thousand-year demon spider still not enough?
Tang San felt a bit stunned... I just sensed I'd lost something and took a moment to mourn—I'm not being ungrateful!
He really wasn't dissatisfied; back when he got his first ring, Yu Xiaogang had nearly fetched him a ten-year bamboo.
"I—I'll absorb the spirit ring now."
With that, Tang San pulled out a dagger, slew the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider at his feet, and began absorbing the ring.
Seeing this, Dragon Grandfather and Snake Grandmother called to Su Yan, "Young friend Su Yan, thank you so much this time."
"If not for your help, our mistake would have cost Yiran her life—you're her savior!"
Eh?
Zhu Zhuqing and the others glanced over. Seniors, you're not about to say you have no way to repay the kindness and will offer your granddaughter's hand in marriage, right?
Su Yan replied modestly, "No need for thanks, Seniors; it was mere coincidence, a small matter."
Dragon Grandfather Meng Shu smiled. "May we ask where your home is? Once we return, we'll bring Yiran to express our gratitude in person."
"Well..."
Su Yan looked awkward. "For now I'm without a fixed home; if fate allows, we'll surely meet again."
After a few more polite exchanges, Dragon Grandfather and Snake Grandmother bade farewell and led Meng Yiran off to find her next spirit ring.
"What a pity!"
Once they were far away, Dragon Grandfather Meng Shu sighed.
Meng Yiran looked at her grandfather curiously. "Grandpa, what's the pity?"
Meng Shu smiled wryly. "Pity that young man doesn't seem interested in you—but let it be."
"Though Brother Su Yan is outstanding, there are too many women around him; competing would be tough."
Meng Yiran: ???
