Chapter 180 – 179: Lingering Fragrance on the Hand
At school, she always kept a low profile. Although she was of the City Lord’s bloodline, she was a mix of human and Monster. Therefore, the Monster girls didn’t want to play with her, even going out of their way to alienate her. However, she was always a very quiet girl. The Peacock Demon Clan might have waned, but they were once a top-tier Race. Song Junhou approached her partly because she genuinely looked appealing, possessing a softness rare among Monster females, and more importantly, he had heard that Pretty Girl could potentially be one of the candidates to succeed the Peacock Demon King. While he found it incredible, he still felt that getting close to her could lead to favor with the Peacock Demon Clan, until Wang Yan showed up.
Wang Yan’s previous threatening telepathic ssage was sothing he couldn’t ignore, especially since Wang Yan was the legitimate eldest son, and this ti he brought so many powerful beings with him. In a quick judgnt, he decided it was more crucial to be on good terms with Wang Yan. But who could have imagined, contrary to their desires, this was the outco.
After they had fled earlier, they didn’t actually go very far and wanted to observe the situation on the battlefield. Before they could settle down and turn to watch, Pretty Girl and those from the Peacock Demon Clan had vanished. Everything had happened so quickly that they hadn’t fully grasped what had occurred.
But now, Pretty Girl was still here, while Wang Yan and his company had disappeared without a trace. What did this imply?
By this ti, Tang San had also silently returned to their quarters, as if nothing had happened, taking over the watch from Gu Li, who was on night duty, and let him rest, while he stood watch. Anyway, he was not in the mood to ditate just then.
Sitting back against a big tree, he looked at his palm. He seed to still carry the faint fragrance from her palm on his fingers. Despite the urgency of the situation at that ti, he clearly rembered the soft and cool touch during their contact. Her hand was very cold – was she afraid of the cold? Even though he knew that Pretty Girl was at least of the Sixth-stage Cultivation base, he couldn’t help feeling such sentints.
This was the first ti he had physically contacted Pretty Girl since he had co to this world, and the sensation was extrely intense. Even at this mont, his heart still palpitated strongly.
It took quite a while before Tang San gradually cald down. He had appeared before Pretty Girl as Masked Asura to better protect her. After all, his real identity as a janitor couldn’t be easily revealed. The mystery of Asura allowed him to do many things his real identity couldn’t accomplish. He could also fight without any reservations. Pretty Girl would surely be puzzled by his abilities, including the Zhuge magic crossbow, so he simply decided to give her one as a self-defense weapon.
He had not expected that she would be a mber of the Green-grade redemption, the highest level present within the Redemption Organization in Jiali City. He had even thought about finding a way to persuade her to join the Redemption, but as it turned out she was already a mber. This was definitely good news, as at least they shared the sa principles, saving a lot of trouble.
Pretty Girl was the reincarnation of his wife, and after reincarnation, she would forget everything about her past life except for that one mark of life, making her essentially a new person.
In fact, when Tang San chose to die for love and seek her out through rebirth, he had considered many possibilities. It wasn’t important whether the reincarnated her was human; as long as she could cultivate, he could find a way to help her regain human form. He had also thought about what he would do if Pretty Girl turned out to be unattractive. The love in his heart would allow him to accept her any way she was because her Brand of life, her soul, was still the one he deeply loved.
What Tang San was most worried about was actually a divergence in principles. For example, different growing environnts could turn Pretty Girl into soone whose principles were entirely incompatible with his own – what then?
He had considered all these possibilities. However, it seed that none of these had happened, and everything was extending towards the best possible direction. This was perfect and he was very relieved.
Although this world was extrely hostile to humans, as long as the person he loved most could be with him, then he was content to change these hostilities himself.
At this mont, Tang San’s mood was complex, but joy was predominant within that complexity. He was glad to have followed and protected Pretty Girl in secret, allowing him to learn more of her secrets. Perhaps this protection wasn’t significant for Pretty Girl, as she could solve all the troubles by herself, but for Tang San, it was vital as it resolved many of his worries, allowing him to protect her without reservation.
This was the state he had hoped to see the most because it ant all he needed to do was to treat her as well as possible.
Of course, Tang San also realized there were so issues, such as his own insufficient strength, which was not enough to protect her better yet. Although Tang San’s progress had been very fast lately, especially since using the life force of plants devoured from the Jiali Academy Shop to propel his own Cultivation base, he had to limit the amount he consud each ti in order not to be discovered.
If Pretty Girl could resolve the threats brought by five Eighth-stage Peacock Demons by herself, then to catch up with her pace and beco a powerful protector for her, he would need to reach at least the Eighth-stage as well. Yet he was still far from that peak and needed to continue striving. Hidden weapons, no matter how effective, were still external objects. And the ones he could make now were far from being able to face powerful adversaries. It was ti for him to start displaying his technical prowess while pursuing his cultivation.
The ti had co for the Tang Sect’s three great chanical-type hidden weapons to make their appearance. From this mont, the search for suitable materials for their construction had to begin.
The three great hidden weapons of the Tang Sect included the first-ranked Furious Tang Lotus, the second-ranked Peach Blossom Needles, and the third-ranked Peacock feather.
Relatively speaking, the construction of the Furious Tang Lotus was the most difficult, the materials needed for the Peach Blossom Needles were the most demanding, and the production of the Peacock feather was the most complex.
With Tang San’s current resources and abilities, only the third-ranked Peacock feather was sothing he felt confident in creating. And Pretty Girl just so happened to be from the Peacock Demon Clan. Tang San decided that the next gift for her would be exactly this.
As his thoughts gradually settled, Tang San silently circulated the Mysterious Heaven thod’s soul power within his body to adjust his state.
Recently, with the continuous enhancent of the Sixth Brand Bluesilver Emperor and absorbing the life energy tempering his body from those heavenly treasures, Tang San’s condition was also getting better and better. The enormous life force that tempered his body made his ridians more resilient, and his body’s strength increased daily with age. Under the push of this imnse life force, the realm of his Mysterious Heaven Skill approached the peak of the Sixth Stage.
However, there was no doubt that breaking through from the Sixth Stage to the Seventh Stage was a qualitative leap, and not so easy to accomplish. Tang San certainly had a way at the mont. As long as he took a precious heavenly treasure from the Jiali Academy Shop’s safe and devoured it whole, he might have the possibility to break through. But that would undoubtedly be draining the pond to get all the fish. Once an entire item was found missing, it would certainly be discovered by the shop, and that would be a one-shot deal. Tang San would never do such a thing before deciding to leave Jiali Academy.
Therefore, to break through to the Seventh Stage, he needed to proceed step by step with steadfast accumulation.
Tang San was very aware of his uniqueness. The Heavenly Fox Eye was actually of great help to him, avoiding many troubles and making cultivation smoother. However, the Heavenly Fox Eye also posed a significant problem – the risk of a hidden danger.
This problem was sothing Tang San had consulted Zhang Haoxuan about, and combining it with the various changes in Du Bai’s body, he could co to a conclusion.
Being favored by luck, the Heavenly Fox Clan could be said to be an extrely heaven-defying existence in this plane, and this defiance ca at a price.
The Heavenly Fox Clan, blessed by fate, could not possess or cultivate other abilities, remaining forever frail. Even the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was no exception, but the power of luck was so strong that it had no need for cultivation. With the peak state of the Heavenly Fox Eye of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, anyone who wished harm upon it would likely die from a backlash of their own cultivation before even taking action.
Tang San’s existence was undoubtedly exceptional. Through cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven thod, he possessed several Demon God Transformation Imprints. Moreover, even after rging the power of the Heavenly Fox Eye, he was recognized by this plane. The power of a plane does not target individuals specifically but judges based on the overall aura. Thus, to a certain extent, he had deceived the master of this plane.
This was why he could possess the Heavenly Fox Eye while also having other abilities.
However, when Tang San aid to break through to the God Rank in the future, all of this would be exposed.
God Rank represented transcendence, beings that were beyond and yet dependent on this plane – even considered guardians of the plane.
Tang San’s abilities were obviously not of this plane, yet he utilized this plane. Once he reached God Rank, he would be subject to the full scrutiny of the plane. Upon discovering discrepancies, he might even beco targeted by the entire plane. At that ti, both the Heavenly Fox Eye and other Demon God Transformation abilities could potentially backfire.
The higher his cultivation rose, the deeper Tang San’s understanding of this issue beca. He often pondered this problem, how he might resolve it at the God Level. Otherwise, he feared he would not be able to complete the breakthrough and be struck down by the plane during the process.
