Chapter 326. Tang Hao: Of course, I forgive her! (Part 2)
The Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao became a laughingstock throughout the Soul Master world.
"Hahaha, this is what Tang Tian meant when he said my son, Tang Hao, has the potential to reach the limit."
"This is what Tang Chen meant when he said, 'Good grandson, bringing prosperity to three generations.' How laughable!"
"The genius of the Clear Sky Sect, for the sake of a soul beast, slaughtered the entire sect, leaving not a single title. Tang Hao, first killed his brother, then his father, truly heartless and insane!"
At this moment, Tang Hao was utterly devastated, and at the same time, he harbored even greater resentment towards Qian Xunji.
Why, why, Qian thief, do you know my woman is a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Why didn't you come after me? If you had come after me, would my father and the others have needed to come after me? Would they have been killed by me in a fit of irrationality?
Damn it, ahhhhhhh—
In short, it's all Qian Xunji's fault. Why didn't you, Qian Xunji, obediently offer your head for me to smash?
The tragic event has already occurred, but life still has to go on, doesn't it?
Tang Hao's only thought now was to spend a short but beautiful life with A Yin.
However, ever since Tang Hao crippled himself, A Yin had become much more distant from him.
Despite Tang Hao's repeated confessions, A Yin always found an excuse to refuse.
Tang Hao didn't suspect anything and instead worked even harder at blacksmithing to earn a living and support A Yin.
One day, Yun Ge, a pear seller near the blacksmith's shop, rushed to Tang Hao and said, "Brother Hao, something terrible has happened! I saw a man enter your house!"
"What?" Tang Hao stood up in disbelief, grabbed his large iron hammer, and rushed home. He couldn't believe A Yin would betray him, but the fact remained that a man had entered his house.
Back home, Tang Hao listened intently:
"A Yin, just give in to me—"
"Brother Xu, I'm sorry, but I can't betray Brother Hao. Brother Hao did this for me..." A Yin said, her face filled with remorse and guilt.
"That's just a useless blacksmith, how can he compare to my noble Soul Master? Why do you care about him? Following him, you'll never get ahead in life."
"But..."
"No buts, come on."
Tang Hao was furious. At this moment, he felt like his hair was turning green. He was working outside, and someone had swung their hoe at his own wall. How could he tolerate this?
Enraged, Tang Hao kicked open the door and looked at the two adulterers inside. Ugh, adulterers, Ah Yin wasn't an adult.
When he saw the man who was flirting with Ah Yin, Tang Hao froze.
That face, he knew it all too well. It was the face of the thief Qian Xunji, whom he had been thinking about day and night, and who he desperately wanted to kill.
"Qian Xunji—" Tang Hao's eyes turned red, and he was panting heavily. He reached out, trying to summon the Clear Sky Hammer, but found that he couldn't summon it no matter how hard he tried.
Only then did he realize that he had crippled his own martial soul and completely become an ordinary person.
Even without his Martial Soul, Tang Hao remained incredibly domineering, reaching out to grab Qian Xunji. However, this "Qian Xunji" instead kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.
"Cough cough cough cough," Tang Hao coughed up blood, glaring venomously at the "Qian Xunji."
The "Qian Xunji" stood up, looking at Tang Hao with disdain, and said, "Trash, please understand one thing: I am not Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Although I also share the surname Qian, my name is Qian Dongxu, understand?"
Qian Dongxu?
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, looked around, and spotted an iron hammer. He grabbed it and unleashed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, smashing it at Qian Dongxu.
Upon seeing this, Qian Dongxu activated his Martial Soul—his true form Martial Soul, the Golden Finger. His finger shone with a dazzling golden light, pointing directly at Tang Hao's hammer. His finger embedded itself into the hammer, and then the hammer shattered. In the next moment of Tang Hao's stunned silence, Qian Dongxu kicked out.
Tang Hao was kicked to the wall again. This time, he couldn't stand up at all. He could only look at Qian Dongxu with red eyes and heavy breathing.
"Just a piece of trash without even a martial spirit." Qian Dongxu sneered, "Anyway, I won't bear any responsibility if I kill you. Just obediently go on your way. I'll take good care of my wife."
"No—" A Yin hurriedly stopped Qian Dongxu and said, "Brother Xu, don't kill him."
"Oh, wife, you seem to care a lot about this piece of trash." Qian Dongxu said with a wicked smile.
A Yin said, "Although Brother Hao is nothing now, he still has a sincere heart for me. I won't allow you to kill him."
Hearing A Yin's words, Tang Hao felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze. All his sacrifices were worthwhile.
"Then, little wife, if I don't kill him, what can you give me?" Qian Dongxu said with a wicked smile.
"I...I..." A Yin hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"I want you." Qian Dongxu directly picked up A Yin and carried her to the bed.
Tang Hao's eyes widened in fury, and he scrambled towards the head of the bed.
"Ah Yin, no, don't agree to him!"
"You scoundrel, come at me if you have a problem, what kind of person bullies a woman?"
Tang Hao reached the head of the bed, only to be kicked back against the wall by Qian Dongxu.
Seeing his woman being abused by Qian Dongxu, Tang Hao's blood boiled, his eyes turned red, and he gasped for breath—scrambling to the head of the bed again, only to be kicked back against the wall by Qian Dongxu once more.
"You scoundrel, let go of my woman!"
"You despicable scoundrel, come at me if you dare, what kind of person bullies a woman?"
"You damned scoundrel, be gentle, don't hurt Ah Yin."
"You despicable scoundrel, let go of Ah Yin—"
This cycle repeated itself endlessly, and Tang Hao watched helplessly as he was cuckolded.
An hour later, Tang Hao lay sprawled against the wall like a dead dog. Qian Dongxu, satisfied, straightened his clothes from the bed, walked over to Tang Hao, and began grinding his foot against Tang Hao's head, saying,
"Looks like you're not happy, but in this world, women are only for the strong." Qian Dongxu licked his wrinkled golden finger.
"Qian the Thief, if I hadn't destroyed my own martial spirit, how could you be so arrogant—" Tang Hao's face was still red from the pressure, and he was panting heavily.
"Hahahaha, you idiot," Qian Dongxu said, "You know you destroyed your own martial spirit, so now you're just a piece of trash!"
"Originally, I wanted to kill you and take Ah Yin for myself, but now I think it's quite interesting to keep this piece of trash around." Qian Dongxu withdrew his foot and said to Tang Hao, "Take good care of my Ah Yin."
With that, Qian Dongxu turned and left Tang Hao's dilapidated hut!
Meanwhile, Ah Yin, her face flushed, recovered. She couldn't help it; this man was too domineering.
Realizing Tang Hao was still in the room, she quickly dressed, got out of bed, and walked towards A Yin.
"Don't come any closer," Tang Hao said angrily, his tone filled with disgust. "This isn't your first time, is it? I didn't see any blood on the bed. Tell me, have you been doing all these things behind my back all this time?"
"What, are you disgusted with me?" A Yin said bitterly.
Tang Hao remained silent.
A Yin continued to complain to Tang Hao, "You don't know, ever since you crippled yourself, my life has been truly miserable. People come to harass me every few days. To protect my chastity, I don't dare go out."
"And all you do all day is forge, forge..."
"Then how did you and Qian Dongxu meet?" Tang Hao asked through gritted teeth.
Ah Yin said, "That day, the window support fell off on the second floor. When I opened the window to look down, I didn't expect it to hit him."
"He looked furious, but the way he looked at me was strange. I was too scared to say anything."
"Who would have thought that Qian Dongxu would be involved with Wang Gan Niang next door, luring me to her teahouse and trying to force himself on me. I refused, and Qian Dongxu threatened me, saying—"
"Said what?" Tang Hao roared, his eyes red and his breath coming in ragged gasps.
"He said: Ah Yin, you don't want anything to happen to your brother Hao, do you?" Ah Yin covered her face and sobbed, "I had no choice but to give in to him."
Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, but at the same time, a warmth rose in his heart. If Ah Yin didn't love him, how could she have succumbed to the coercion of that scoundrel Qian Dongxu?
It's all my fault for being so useless. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have destroyed my own martial spirit.
"Brother Hao, what's done is done. Ah Yin is tainted, and I know I'm not good enough for you. If you despise me, I don't want to taint you either. Let's part ways here," Ah Yin said sadly.
Tang Hao's throat tightened, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
The Asura God's test appeared in his eyes!
The Asura God's Top Six Tests: Faced with the betrayal of Ah Yin, what should you do?
1: Once unfaithful, always untrustworthy. Since Ah Yin has betrayed me, I will completely sever ties with her and never see her again. Reward: The test ends at the sixth test, and you receive the sixth test reward: all soul rings' age increases by 10,000 years.
2: Of course, forgive her. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Ah Yin. If I hadn't lacked the strength to protect my woman, would she have been forced to submit to Qian Dongxu for my sake? Reward: All soul rings' age increases by 500 years, Ah Yin's favorability +50, the test continues!
Looking at this choice, Tang Hao didn't hesitate and directly chose the second option.
Ah Yin's pitiful appearance touched Tang Hao. Tang Hao's resolve was firm; Ah Yin hadn't betrayed him willingly, but was forced into it.
Furthermore, Tang Hao had betrayed his sect and killed his brother and father for Ah Yin's sake, only to end up with nothing. He was filled with resentment.
Therefore, Tang Hao reached out and comforted Ah Yin, saying, "Ah Yin, I know this isn't your fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been crippled back then, with my strength, who would dare to touch you? I will find a way to restore my martial spirit. You must not have any further contact with Qian Dongxu."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Ah Yin nodded and said, "Thank you."
