I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 87: Ah Yin Transforms, Calling Me Her Benefactor?

"Can only obtain a thousand-year soul ring that's over three thousand years old?"

After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San felt not a trace of joy, but instead, a face full of bitterness.

"Xiao San, having the first three rings of a thousand years already allows you to look down upon peers of the same level, even giving you the ability to challenge those beyond your level."

"That's not bad already."

Tang Hao naturally knew what Tang San was thinking and softly consoled him.

Indeed.

Even just the first three rings of a thousand years were enough to crush the vast majority of soul masters.

If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed.

But Could Tang San be the same as others?

Without comparison, there would be no harm.

"I clearly had the chance to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring, just a bit more!"

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, "If I know who hunted down the Blue Silver Emperor, I must dismember him into a thousand pieces! I swear!"

His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Xiao San, I can understand your feelings, all I can say is, be strong!"

"What has happened cannot be undone, what we can do now is to grit our teeth and move forward."

Tang Hao said with heavy emphasis, "One day, we will see the light."

After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San's heart didn't fluctuate and he even felt like laughing a bit.

Can I still see the light?

Letting me live such a life without light, you, Tang Hao, have also played a big part.

"Let's go, leave this place. Now we go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, to attach a soul ring to your Clear Sky Hammer."

"And you should also say goodbye to Xiao Wu, the two of you won't be able to see each other for a short time."

Tang Hao said, taking the lead to walk out of the forest.

However, Tang San was momentarily dazed, recalling that lively and cute figure.

"Xiao Wu, how should I face you?"

"I am now a cripple."

Thinking of Xiao Wu, he regretted even more, knowing he should never have left the Star Dou Great Forest. Instead of experiencing such hardships in life, wouldn't it be better to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest with Xiao Wu?

On the other side.

Next to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo looked at the glowing green cocoon with confusion, "Qin Xiao, what's going on? We've been waiting for so long, why has there suddenly been no movement?"

"Transforming a soul beast into a human form is not so easy." Qin Xiao shook his head, "But I think it should be almost done now."

Actually, he was also surprised.

Transforming a soul beast into a human form was more complicated than he thought.

Fortunately, his cultivation was not weak, and his endurance was strong. Otherwise, if it were another Title Douluo here, they would have been exhausted. After all, the force around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was not weak.

"There's movement again!"

"It's very possible that the Blue Silver Emperor has completed its transformation."

A moment later, Dugu Bo's pupils shrank, and at the same time, he formed a protective barrier with his powerful soul power, enveloping himself and Dugu Yan within.

In contrast, Qin Xiao made no move.

Frankly speaking, even if he did not deploy a soul power barrier for defense, relying solely on his physical defense would still be much stronger than Dugu Bo's current defense.

It can't be helped.

This was all forged by lightning strikes.

"Boom!"

Under Qin Xiao's gaze, the cocoon in front of him burst open.

Then, a dazzling green light shone incredibly brightly.

Qin Xiao slightly narrowed his eyes, with a faint purple light flickering in his eyes.

At this moment, the situation within the green light was clearly presented in front of him.

Within the light, a girl dressed in green was rushing towards him.

She plunged into his arms at an extremely fast speed.

"What's the situation?" Qin Xiao was astonished.

It must be said, this situation was completely beyond his expectations.

He had imagined countless scenarios of meeting Ah Yin.

But never this one.

"Benefactor, Ah Yin is scared, hold me tight"

At this time, the girl in his arms spoke with a soft voice.

Her little face turned aside, not daring to look at Dugu Bo.

"Qin Xiao, what's going on?"

Dugu Bo was utterly astonished.

Dugu Yan beside him almost popped her eyes out in shock, is this even possible?

So Turns out the revered one likes to take the initiative.

She then thought, her own performance had been too conservative before.

"You're asking me, but who do I ask?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, he could clearly feel that Ah Yin harbored no ill intentions towards him, and was truly clinging to him.

This is really bizarre. He muttered to himself, then said to Dugu Bo, "First retract your soul power, don't make it look like we're at a standoff now."

"Okay." Dugu Bo nodded, and the pressure in the scene suddenly decreased.

"Can you come out of my arms now?"

Following that, Qin Xiao gently patted the girl's back with his palm. He could clearly feel her body tremble slightly, but she still managed to pull her face away from his embrace. However, her little face was as red as a fiery cloud.

"Cough cough," Qin Xiao coughed lightly and asked, "Your name is Ah Yin?"

"The benefactor is right," Ah Yin nodded her head.

"And then?" Qin Xiao continued to ask.

"What do you mean by 'then'?" Finally gathering her courage, Ah Yin glanced at Qin Xiao, puzzled. But, as if she had thought of something, her face flushed red again, and she quickly lowered her head.

The benefactor is really handsome. 'Did I say something?' Qin Xiao was stunned, thinking to himself how odd Ah Yin was behaving.

From a distance, Dugu Bo quietly frowned.

"What happened? Did something go wrong when the Blue Silver Emperor transformed? Is this some kind of blushing disease?" In contrast, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, thinking to herself that she had been too conservative in her approach.

"Why do you call me your benefactor?" Qin Xiao asked.

"Because you are my benefactor. If it weren't for you, Ah Yin would still be living in that cold, damp cave," Ah Yin said, her eyes revealing complex emotions and palpitations. "Cold, lonely, desolate. It's really too terrible. That place, I really don't want to go back ever again."

Qin Xiao silently nodded, understanding that although the Blue Silver Emperor was a plant, she was actually a person, and it was normal for her to feel this way being alone there. But what about Tang Hao?

"Didn't anyone accompany you?" Qin Xiao then asked.

"Occasionally, a disheveled, down-and-out man would come by, speaking nonsensical things. Every time I heard him talk like that, my head would hurt, really annoying me to death," Ah Yin spoke of that person with a look of resentment on her face. "Rather than him coming to bother me, I'd prefer to be alone."

"He wasn't accompanying me; he was torturing me," Ah Yin said.

Qin Xiao's heart shook. He understood that Ah Yin's rebirth was still recent, and she didn't remember the past at all. Or rather, her past memories were sealed deep within her soul and had not yet awakened.

"Strike first to gain the upper hand, hesitate and suffer," Qin Xiao laughed to himself, thinking that this meant Ah Yin could now do whatever she wanted. "What would Tang Hao feel if he saw Ah Yin like this one day? And Tang San... How should he face himself then? Interesting, truly interesting!"

"Benefactor, if you hadn't taken me to find those forests where the Blue Silver Grass resides, I wouldn't know when I would have awakened. Also, the spiritual medicines you used for Ah Yin, I've seen them all," Ah Yin said, lowering her head to look at her cute little feet, softly adding, "Ah Yin will definitely repay you."

"Repay me," Qin Xiao wore a strange expression, wondering if she had seen anyone else besides Tang Hao. But then, to say or not to say, the cost of resurrecting the Blue Silver Emperor for Qin Xiao was indeed not small.

"Let's talk about repayment later," Qin Xiao waved his hand, asking, "If I remove the soul power barrier now, can you withstand the pressure here?"

Hearing this, Ah Yin nodded vigorously, "Benefactor, whatever you want to do, I can withstand it."

"Now I am human, no longer a soul beast; this sacred place's restrictions on me are not so severe. Besides, I am also a level thirty-nine soul master now, you don't have to pity Ah Yin," Ah Yin said confidently.

"Then get ready," Qin Xiao reminded.

"Go ahead, I'm ready," Ah Yin said, even opening her arms wide.

The next moment, he withdrew the soul power combating the field's force. Immediately, the powerful force from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well descended once again.

However, Qin Xiao found that Ah Yin was only a bit strained. Bearing this pressure wasn't difficult.

"Ah Yin, you're doing well," Qin Xiao said, impressed by her resilience.

Ah Yin looked at Qin Xiao excitedly, saying, "Benefactor, Ah Yin is still very powerful, right?"

"Yes," Qin Xiao nodded lightly.

"It's evident that the reborn Blue Silver Emperor didn't directly recover her previous cultivation level. But, for a soul beast transforming into human form and starting to cultivate anew, this was normal. Now, having a cultivation level of over thirty as soon as she transformed was already an amazing progress," Qin Xiao explained.

"How about it, Dugu Bo? What did we say before, do you remember?" Qin Xiao looked at Dugu Bo, asking indifferently.

With an unmistakable hint of jest hidden in his eyes, Qin Xiao listened as Dugu Bo stiffened upon hearing his words, quickly adopting a look of confusion. "What did we say before? I don't remember."

"Yanzi, do you remember?"

What a joke.

The vows made during their previous spat with Qin Xiao were each more severe than the last.

Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to fulfill them.

So. When it comes to face, if it needs to be lost, then lose it. It can always be picked back up later.

For now, survival is the most important.

Dugu Yan: "."

She couldn't help but facepalm, feeling embarrassed to have such a grandfather.

"Hehe, playing dumb, are we?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "You don't have to drink the mandarin duck pot, nor owe me any favors. See Ah Yin? You'll take good care of her for me for the time being."

"Where are you going? Will it be long before you return?" Dugu Bo didn't immediately agree to Qin Xiao's request but asked seriously instead, "Do you need my help?"

Rarely, Qin Xiao's expression became serious. "I indeed have to go to a faraway place, but I can manage for now without your intervention."

Indeed.

Qin Xiao was indeed planning to be away for a while.

For the distant journey, he must visit Sea God Island.

For the nearer, he was heading to the City of Slaughter.

Compared to Sea God Island, the City of Slaughter was a significant concern.

After all, the City contained Haotian Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen, a peerless powerhouse at level ninety-nine.

Even if Tang Chen was currently in a neither human nor ghost state, controlled by the Nine-Headed Dark Gold Bat King, who could guarantee he wouldn't suddenly recover? A level ninety-nine powerhouse with divine power was still a formidable enemy to Qin Xiao!

Qin Xiao was not one to be passive. Enemies must be nipped in the bud.

"Benefactor, Ah Yin wants to stay by your side."

"Ah Yin can do anything."

Suddenly, Ah Yin took a few steps to Qin Xiao, grasping the hem of his clothes, her eyes brimming with tears.

After speaking, she pursed her lips tightly, saying no more, but her pretty little face was full of stubbornness.

Despite the short time Qin Xiao had interacted with her, his actions had genuinely moved Ah Yin, earning a place in her heart.

Achieving more than expected isn't always a good thing, Qin Xiao silently sighed.

What's so good about being handsome?

What's so good about being strong?

Being too likeable is a troublesome matter.

"I'm going to a dangerous place, and with your current condition, it's not suitable for you to follow me."

"So, you're okay with leaving her here?"

At this moment, Dugu Bo asked Qin Xiao, "She's a hundred thousand-year soul beast, after all."

"Of course, I trust your character." Qin Xiao smiled slightly.

His smile was infectious.

Even Dugu Bo found himself momentarily dazed.

At the same time, he felt a warmth in his heart. Was this what being trusted felt like? Despite being a Title Douluo, his notorious reputation preceded him, and aside from Dugu Yan, no one really trusted him.

Not even the former Prince Xue Xing...

Of course.

Now there was Qin Xiao.

Dugu Bo hummed softly, "Humph, go on then, I'll take care of her for you."

Uh.

Why does this sound like the notion of "Your wife, my responsibility"?

Qin Xiao was taken aback, realizing that everyone wanted to play the role of Cao Cao.

"Benefactor, then you must remember to come back for Ah Yin."

It must be said, Ah Yin had that kind of gentle, understanding personality.

Her meekness made Qin Xiao somewhat tender-hearted.

Qin Xiao reached out to pinch Ah Yin's cheek, "Don't worry, I, Qin Xiao, never go back on my word."

Beside them, Dugu Yan deeply imprinted this scene in her heart.

She told herself, indeed, being sweet is the way to go. But, wouldn't pretending to be sweet be tiring?

On the other side.

In the vast hall of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Xue Qinghe sat on the throne, his gaze unfocused, lost in thought.

"My lord, the overall situation has been settled. What are you still worried about?"

At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadows of the great hall.

It was none other than Elder Cipang.

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe looked over, his eyes regaining some luster, "Elder, to be honest, I am indeed troubled."

"May I know what it is? Perhaps I can offer some assistance," Elder Ci asked further.

Xue Qinghe looked deeply at Elder Cipang and asked, "Elder, do you think Qin Xiao has discovered my identity?"
