But Zhuqing was completely unaware at this moment.
In her mind, only the figure of that boy remained, who was always taciturn in the academy but possessed unfathomable strength.
Tang San!
He... he is the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Blue Silver Emperor?
This piece of information was more shocking to her than all the conspiracy theories she had heard before combined.
A child of a Spirit Beast and a human...
She had always thought that was just a legend.
She didn't expect the legend to be right by her side.
...
Hotel, back kitchen.
A series of crisp "crunch, crunch" sounds were exceptionally distinct in the quiet back kitchen.
Xiao Wu had her back to the door, crouching in a corner, clutching a carrot she had just "borrowed" from the vegetable basket, eating with gusto.
Beneath her pink pleated skirt were two straight and vibrant long legs wrapped in white silk stockings.
Even while crouching, it couldn't hide the perfect proportions of her figure; her waist was slender, her hip line curved, full of a young girl's youth and agility.
She was nibbling on the carrot while distractedly watching the gossip in the Chat Group, finding it quite interesting.
However, when the name "Tang San" popped up, the movement of her mouth came to an abrupt halt.
Half a carrot remained still at the corner of her mouth.
Her large, watery eyes were instantly filled with astonishment.
"Third... Third Brother?"
Xiao Wu's mind went blank.
Third Brother's mother was actually a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, just like herself?
And...
Third Brother's father was actually that legendary Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!
That peerless powerhouse who, by his own strength, severely wounded several Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall and eventually drifted away!
This information had a double impact on Xiao Wu.
She felt an inexplicable sense of closeness because Tang San possessed the same Spirit Beast bloodline as her, and she was also shocked by his terrifyingly prominent family background.
So, behind Third Brother, there was such a heaven-shaking secret hidden.
...
Heaven Dou City, Eastern Palace.
In the luxurious bedroom, curling smoke drifted from the incense burner.
Qian Renxue had shed her Crown Prince disguise and changed into a magnificent golden long dress, reclining on the soft couch.
Her golden long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering the entire bed, making her flawless and beautiful face appear even more holy and noble.
The neckline of her dress was opened just right, revealing her delicate collarbones and a small patch of snow-white skin.
Under the hem of the dress, a pair of jade legs shrouded in golden thin gauze were vaguely visible.
She wasn't even wearing shoes, and her smooth jade feet swayed slightly in the air, every detail as perfect as a creation of the gods.
She supported her chin with one hand and lazily swiped the screen of the Chat Group with the other, her eyes filled with a hint of playful amusement as she watched the drama.
Tang Hao's story was of no importance to her.
But when the name "Tang San" appeared, the leisure and playfulness on her face instantly solidified.
"Hum!"
A powerful surge of spirit power uncontrollably escaped from her body, causing the curtains beside her to flutter violently.
Qian Renxue sat up straight abruptly, divine light shooting from her golden eyes.
Tang San!
Someone from Shrek Academy!
The boy who led the team to defeat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team in the spirit fighting arena!
Qian Renxue had some impression of him.
It was him!
He was actually Tang Hao's son?
A monstrous wave surged in Qian Renxue's heart.
...
In the Chat Group, after a brief silence, it completely exploded.
[Little Demoness: Tang San? Which Tang San? It wouldn't be that one from Shrek, right?]
[Poison Fairy: Is it that person from Shrek??]
[Gentle Fire Dragon: Clear Sky Douluo's son? My god...]
[The Fox Is the Most Innocent: Tang San? Who is that??]
Everyone was stunned by this sudden piece of information.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Lu Ming watched the messages scrolling crazily on the screen.
The good show had only just begun.
He reached out his finger again and started tapping on the screen.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Everyone, be quiet.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): The point is not that Tang San is Tang Hao's son.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Please continue listening to me.]
Once he spoke, the noisy Chat Group eerily quieted down.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for what he would say next.
They had a premonition that a truth, even more terrifying than all the previous information combined, was about to be revealed.
Lu Ming did not keep them waiting long.
He directly threw out that argument capable of overturning everything.
The most fatal blow that completely tore apart Tang Hao's hypocritical mask.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Have you ever thought about how, as a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, Ah Yin's aura was no different from a human's after entering the mature phase, and even a Titled Douluo could not see through it?]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): So, how did Spirit Hall discover her Spirit Beast identity?]
This question left everyone stunned.
That's right.
How was she exposed?
Before they could think carefully, Lu Ming gave the answer.
An answer that made everyone feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): It was precisely because she was pregnant!]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): The union of a Spirit Beast and a human is inherently an act against the heavens; when conceiving offspring, it causes the Spirit Beast's original aura to become unstable, making it impossible to hide perfectly!]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): It was the existence of the child that caused her aura to leak, which then attracted the pursuit of Spirit Hall!]
These words, like a black bolt of lightning, split everyone's skulls open.
Every word carried a bone-chilling coldness, drilling into the depths of their souls.
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong's body leaned heavily against the back of the chair, her face under the mask deathly pale.
[Supreme Pontiff:???]
Shrek Academy, girls' dormitory.
Xiao Wu's body froze in place, the carrot in her hand dropped to the ground with a "plop".
[Bunny is the Cutest:???]
Heaven Dou City, Eastern Palace.
Qian Renxue's golden beautiful eyes lost all focus in an instant.
[I Have No Mother:???]
The next second.
The entire Chat Group screen was completely submerged by dense question marks.
[Little Demoness:?????]
[My Son Is Not a Bastard:???]
If the previous speculations only made them doubt Tang Hao's character.
Then now, the truth thrown by Lu Ming directly nailed Tang Hao to the cross of a devil!
He knew!
He knew from the very beginning that letting Ah Yin get pregnant would expose her!
The so-called fruit of love was not proof of anything at all.
It was a death warrant!
It was the most critical, most vicious move that attracted Spirit Hall and forced Ah Yin to sacrifice herself!
The whole plan was interlocking.
From meeting to falling in love, from pregnancy to exposure, from sacrifice to becoming a god.
Everything was within his calculations!
This man was not human at all!
He was a devil! A thoroughly evil devil wearing the skin of a romantic lover!
