Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 940 - 938: Angry Again?

Chapter 940: Chapter 938: Angry Again?

The room was not only occupied by her, but also by her mother, Su Qin. Su Qin should have arrived at the Ancestral Court long ago to reunite with the White Tiger Great Demon King and his daughter. Learning of her daughter’s arrival, she must have met her at the first opportunity.

Upon seeing Tang San, Pretty Girl’s City Lord demeanor was instantly shattered by her pouting red lips.

Tang San first nodded to Su Qin in greeting, “Auntie.”

“You’ve come to the Ancestral Court too. Little Beauty mentioned you haven’t been back for several months, she’s must be a bit miffed. You’d better sweet-talk her,” Su Qin chuckled softly and then went upstairs.

Tang San approached Pretty Girl and whispered with a smile, “Angry again?”

“Hmph!” Pretty Girl turned her head away, revealing her fair profile and slender neck.

Tang San wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gently kissed her cheek.

His move was so quick Pretty Girl didn’t even have time to react.

“Annoying, who allowed you to kiss me?” Pretty Girl pushed him, of course unable to push him away, and Tang San took the opportunity to grab her hand and pull her into his embrace.

“In the past few days, I was in deep cultivation. Time flies during cultivation, and by the time I came out of it, a month had already passed. Then I hurried back to find you, but you weren’t there. I also helped Xiao He break through to Rank 10. With his experience and remaining divine consciousness, I estimate it won’t be long before he can fully recover his original Cultivation base state. Then I hurried back to wait for you, and I was really anxious when you didn’t show up.”

Pretty Girl leaned in his arms and hummed softly, but her attitude had visibly softened compared to before. In reality, she couldn’t truly be angry with him. As humans struggling for survival in Demon Monster Land, and striving to become Emperors amidst adversity, all of Tang San’s busyness was clearly preparation for this. And it was certainly not an easy task. Every moment, there was a possibility of him encountering danger. Compared to his inability to visit her more, she was actually more worried about his safety.

Gently stroking her hair, Tang San said softly, “I’ll stay with you tonight. I don’t mind sleeping on the couch.”

“Forget it,” Pretty Girl whispered, “My grandfather will come to see me later, and the Undying Great Demon Emperor might also come. I’m taking part in a martial arts competition to seek a marriage partner, it’s a sensitive time right now.”

Tang San said with a wry smile, “I know it’s sensitive. If those contestants found out that you and I had slept together before the competition, they would probably all band together and attack me, right?”

“Shameless, who said I would sleep with you?” Pretty Girl punched him annoyedly and then straightened up from his embrace, “What’s your plan for the competition? Have you registered yet?”

Tang San nodded and said, “I have completed the registration, don’t worry. What the other participants might be interested in is the Emperor’s seat, but what I care about is my wife. Therefore, I must win, and will definitely not lose.”

“You haven’t married me yet, I’m not your wife yet. Are you really sure?” Pretty Girl’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of worry. These past days, she had been constantly worrying about this. She was genuinely afraid that something would happen to Tang San in this martial arts competition. But if he didn’t participate, wouldn’t she have to marry someone else? That was something she absolutely could not agree to. Now with the competition scale reaching such a level, it was a situation like an arrow on a bowstring that had to be released, which made her even more unsure of what to do.

Tang San pulled her into his embrace again, “Don’t worry, I’m fully prepared. I won’t tell you what identity I’ll be competing under, so you won’t give anything away. You can try to spot me among the contestants and see which one is your husband. It will definitely be an identity you’d never expect.”

“I’ve always trusted you with your tasks, but this time the matter is of great importance. I’m not afraid of anything else, I’m just worried that if your identity is revealed, you will be targeted by those Emperors. Then we’re really in trouble,” Pretty Girl still spoke with a worried tone.

“I guarantee, guarantee there will be no risk. Don’t you trust me? How did you absorb the life force I transferred to you last time?” Tang San deflected the topic.

To him, the biggest vulnerability was actually Pretty Girl. The divine consciousness of the Emperors was very sensitive, and excessive attention from Pretty Girl could arouse suspicion, especially from the City Lords far and wide. This was also why Tang San insisted on not disclosing his current identity to Pretty Girl.

“I’ve absorbed it, and it has been a great help to me. It feels like my foundation is much more solid and my cultivation base has improved a lot,” Pretty Girl said.

“That’s good. When you’re alone with your grandfather, you can ask him if my current identity is safe. He knows what it is. However, I’ve told him not to tell you. But you can confirm my safety with him. To take ten thousand steps back, even if something really is discovered, with the help of your grandfather, your father, and even your godfather, we won’t be in any danger. I wouldn’t joke about our future, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Just be yourself and participate in the martial competition for suitors as usual. When the time comes and someone appears before you at the end, that contestant will be me.”

“Mm, okay. You really are confident. Then whoever is the last one to come before me at that time, I’ll have to marry him, huh?” Pretty Girl said with a smile.

“Mm, no problem,” Tang San said with a slight smile. The look in his eyes was not of arrogance but of absolute confidence. If he, with the five great super bloodlines, could not fight against an opponent of the same rank, then he shouldn’t be in the mix. The only thing he needed to be careful about in the martial competition for suitors was to defeat the opponent without revealing some of his abilities, after all, he was just the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. Logically, he should not be good at fighting.

Seeing him so confident, Pretty Girl’s mood immediately relaxed a lot, “Have you been staying in the Ancestral Court recently? Where are you living?”

Tang San chuckled and said, “Isn’t this a roundabout way of investigating? If I tell you I’m living in the Ancestral Court Council, would you believe me?”

“Hmph, not a single word of truth. I’m not talking to you anymore.” Pretty Girl pushed him away and took off her cloak.

Tang San didn’t explain, just watched her with a smile.

Pretty Girl looked at him intently and said softly, “Are you really not leaving tonight? Or, could you come a bit later?”

Her simple sentence nearly broke Tang San’s defense, and he said with a wry smile, “I’d better leave. I’m afraid I can’t control myself. If something really did happen between us, those Emperors might be able to sense it.”

“Ptui, ptui, ptui, who wants to start something with you? I’m just feeling sorry for you and was going to let you sleep on the sofa. How dare you defile your pretty sister?” Pretty Girl stood with her hands on her hips, her pretty face slightly red.

Tang San watched her with a smile, his eyes inevitably filled with adoration.

In his previous life, hadn’t she often looked at him like this? He was truly grateful in his heart now, grateful that he could come to this world and find Pretty Girl. To find his love. If he couldn’t find her, perhaps he really would have been gone with her.

Being gazed at so deeply by him, Pretty Girl felt somewhat overwhelmed and turned around, back facing him, “Are you, are you staying or leaving first? If you’re staying, I’ll see if I should meet my grandfather someplace else…”

She only spoke to this point when her delicate body was already embraced by a pair of strong arms from behind, and the warm embrace instantly gave her a strong sense of security, she even felt a little weary.
