Tang Hao's expression softened the moment he entered the cave.
He walked over to the Blue Silver Grass, gently caressing the leaves, which were marked with faint golden veins.
"Ah Yin, I've come to see you."
"I've been thinking of you all these years, but I didn't dare to come. I was afraid, afraid of losing you again."
"But now I'm here, because I've found a way to revive you."
"Once I revive you, I'll take you to see our son. His name is Xiao San, the name you gave him back then."
"By the way, Ah Yin, I also adopted a son. His name is Tang Yin, which I named after you."
"You know, it's the Martial Soul ability of the son I adopted that can revive you. I'm so glad I took him in."
"After I revive you, we'll never be separated again."
Tang Hao spoke very gently.
The thought of soon being able to revive his wife, to see her, to be reunited with her, made him as happy as a child.
In this world, in his heart, nothing was more important than Ah Yin. He could even ignore his own son, Tang San, for years, and then just hand him off to someone else to care for.
Ah Yin was his sky, his earth, his everything.
Tang Yin stood behind Tang Hao, watching him talk to the Blue Silver Grass, without interrupting, like an observer.
He remembered some talk from his past life about Tang Hao harming Ah Yin to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and then putting Ah Yin in a dark cave where she wasn't allowed to grow, and so on. He didn't know if it was true, so he wouldn't comment.
But seeing Tang Hao's genuine display of emotion now...
That comment was probably fake.
But this adoptive mother… even after becoming the Blue Silver Grass, she still possessed such unique beauty.
Tang Yin looked at Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Grass on the mound, and examined her carefully.
After a moment, Tang Hao's emotions slowly recovered.
He turned to Tang Yin behind him and said:
"Little Yin, you wanted to know everything, wanted to know why I've been so strict with you lately, making you fight Soul Beasts, making you cultivate, and why I brought you here?"
"I'll tell you now."
"That was a long time ago."
"Back then, I met a woman. She was beautiful, no, it wasn't just beauty. More importantly, she radiated a refreshing aura."
"She was a pure fairy, without a trace of impurity."
"Her hair, her clothes, her appearance, everything about her attracted me. Even though it was only the first time I saw her, my heart was already captured."
"I fell in love with her."
"I…"
Tang Hao slowly recounted to Tang Yin his past encounter with Ah Yin, their love, and the subsequent pursuit by Qian Xun Ji, the Pope of Martial Soul Hall. Finally, Ah Yin's sacrifice, and so on and so forth.
Of course, this was all that Tang Hao wanted to tell Tang Yin, and wanted him to know.
"You probably know what happened afterward."
"I planted the grass seed she left behind. I knew it was her, only she had lost her hundred-thousand-year cultivation. In this life, I'll never see her in human form again, but I will always protect her."
"In terms of relationship, she's still your adopted mother."
Tang Hao looked at the Blue Silver Grass in front of him, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Tang Yin, having read the original story, naturally understood everything. Whether what Tang Hao said was true or not was no longer important; what mattered was his purpose.
"So, Father, knowing I have the ability to accelerate plant growth, you wanted to train me, make me stronger quickly, and then use my Martial Soul growth ability on Mother to revive her, right?"
Tang Yin spoke, then looked at the Blue Silver Grass planted in the soil.
Tang Hao's wife, his adopted mother.
Seeing that Tang Yin understood his meaning, Tang Hao, at this point, didn't intend to hide anything. He nodded in agreement.
"That's right. I want to revive Ah Yin, to bring back your adoptive mother. You know, you're the one who gave me hope, the hope of bringing her back. No matter how difficult it is, how much suffering it takes, I will revive her, no matter the cost."
Tang Hao spoke excitedly, so much so that he instinctively grabbed Tang Yin's shoulders, as if grasping at the only remaining strand of hope, fearing it would disappear.
"So, Yin, are you willing?"
"Are you willing to help your adoptive father revive your adoptive mother?"
Tang Yin looked at Tang Hao, who was asking him this question. He clearly saw a hint of red light in Tang Hao's eyes as he looked at him.
It was like a person on the verge of death seeing a glimmer of hope, clinging to it tightly, refusing to let go, even in the face of death.
Once he said no.
The hope in Tang Hao's eyes vanished; no one knew what he would do.
"I'm willing."
Tang Yin nodded without hesitation.
At the same time, he revealed a meaningful smile: "Furthermore, she's my adopted mother. Reviving my adopted mother, taking care of her, making her happy, making her joyful, this is the duty of an adopted son."
"So, Father, you can rest assured. No matter what, I will revive Mother."
Some of his words were true, and some were false.
But if Tang Yin said no right now, the consequences would be severe.
Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his adopted son, Tang Yin's, firm answer, and at the same time, he felt much more at ease.
Suddenly, he felt a twinge of regret in his heart for having even considered sacrificing his adopted son, Tang Yin's, life to revive Ah Yin.
But this flicker of regret quickly vanished without a trace.
As long as he could revive Ah Yin, he wouldn't regret anything.
"Little Yin, thank you, truly thank you." Tang Hao patted Tang Yin's shoulder heavily, grateful for his adopted son and also fortunate that he had found him.
"You're too kind, Father. This is what I should do."
"However, my strength is still very weak now. Reviving Mother will be difficult, and it may take a very, very long time to completely awaken her, but..."
"But what?" Tang Hao asked urgently.
"If I can find a place rich in spiritual energy to move my adoptive mother and plant her there, and if it also allows me to cultivate my Soul Power faster, then when I become stronger, reviving my adoptive mother will be quicker."
The treasure land Tang Yin spoke of was naturally the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He'd had this idea on the way here. If Tang Hao could take Ah Yin to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it could indeed speed up Ah Yin's revival.
However, that wasn't his goal.
His goal was to become strong quickly.
Furthermore, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had countless rare flowers and herbs, and even more poisonous ones.
He could stimulate plants to become Soul Beasts, and naturally, he could also stimulate those immortal-grade rare flowers, herbs, and various medicinal plants to become Soul Beasts for his use.
And, there was also Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.
He wanted to lure Tang Hao to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, seeking a variable.
A variable that could make him stronger and ultimately help him get rid of Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, hearing his adopted son's words, thought for a moment and agreed. However, he didn't know that those places had very concentrated heaven and earth spirit energy, so how could he move Ah Yin there?
He knew that the way to make his adopted son quickly stronger was to train him hard, regardless of his life or death, battling Soul Beasts, and then cultivating Soul Power when he was most exhausted. This method was also the most effective.
Tang Yin saw Tang Hao looking thoughtful and his heart stirred. He quickly said,
"That's right, Father, I forgot to tell you. After absorbing my first Soul Ring, I discovered that my Martial Soul has become incredibly sensitive to heaven and earth spirit energy."
"On the way here, I sensed a place in the direction of the Sunset Forest where the heaven and earth spirit energy is exceptionally rich."
"If we move Mother there, and then cultivate there for a while, I'm confident that I can revive Mother within six years."
"Are you serious?" Tang Hao was incredibly excited when he heard that he could revive Ah Yin within six years.
"I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Father."
"As long as we go to that place, I guarantee that you will be able to revive your wife within six years."
By then, even if you die, Father, I will take care of Mother, and make her happy... Tang Yin sneered inwardly.
Just now.
He had a plan to deal with Tang Hao.
As long as he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he would definitely be able to break free from his control within six years, revive his stepmother, Ah Yin, and then… do what he wanted to her.
For example, give her a good thrashing and make her unable to stop.
Tang Hao wasn't thinking about anything else at the moment.
He certainly wasn't thinking about how his adopted son, Tang Yin, was already plotting against him.
His mind was completely consumed with reviving Ah Yin.
"Six years. Just six years, and we'll be able to meet again."
Tang Hao stared at the Blue Silver Grass on the mound in front of him, muttering to himself.
He didn't doubt his adopted son, Tang Yin's, words.
Because he knew Tang Yin wouldn't lie to him.
After all, he was Tang Yin's adoptive father.
Tang Yin was someone he had raised since childhood.
He knew Tang Yin.
And in his eyes, Tang Yin was just a six-year-old child.
There was simply no way he would have any intention of harming him.
Tang Yin looked at Tang Hao, who was facing away from him, and was constantly devising more plans to get rid of Tang Hao's control and completely kill him.
And also, after resurrecting his adoptive mother, Ah Yin, what positions could he use to make her happier?
As a man who had read countless novels, he knew all the moves, like the "Eighteen Styles of A-Wei," and he could perform them all without discount. He was also proficient in high-difficulty positions like the carousel and the toad in the air.
He was looking forward to the day he could resurrect his adoptive mother.
