Chapter 601: Chapter 599 Tang San's Tears of Blood, The Madness of Hatred_1
"Xu Ran, what did you say? Say it again?"
Tang San stared at Xu Ran with widened eyes, his voice trembling. He could hardly believe what he had heard. In his previous life, he was an orphan, adopted by the Tang Sect.
In this life, he was not an orphan; he had his own father.
Even though Tang Hao did not care for him much when he was young, he had no complaints and still enjoyed that kind of life, which showed how strong his longing for paternal and maternal love was.
Because he had never received it, he yearned for it even more and cherished it when it was there.
But what one truly possesses they may not cherish, ignoring their parents when they are alive, even finding them bothersome. Only when they are gone and memories arise does one realize how wonderful those days were.
The unattainable is always restless, while those who are favored feel secure without fear.
This is reality.
Since arriving in Soul Land, Tang San had been very disappointed; what he desired most was his mother's love. That feeling of being doted upon was the time he longed for. After learning of his mother's sacrifice, he had given up on that hope.
Now Xu Ran told him that his mother, Ah Yin, was still alive, and his emotions surged rapidly. The pain of being humiliated by Xu Ran was forgotten in an instant.
But after a moment, he felt something was off. His mother was in Xu Ran's hands? What did that mean?
"Xu Ran, where is my mother?" Tang San took a deep breath and stared intently at Xu Ran.
"In my hands. If you don't believe me, you should recognize this," Xu Ran said as he took out a small section of a Blue Silver Grass leaf, its edges gold compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass, radiating a noble and peaceful aura.
As Xu Ran produced this piece of Bluesilver Emperor leaf, Tang San felt his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul being rapidly activated, and a feeling of bloodline connection brought Tang San close to tears of joy.
His eyes were brimming with tears; his mother was not dead!
This was perhaps the best news he had heard since coming to Soul Land!
But then he became anxious again. Why was his mother involved with Xu Ran? Tang Hao, the Hao Tian Douluo, had been killed by Xu Ran, how could this be?
"Xu Ran, did you kidnap my mother?" Tang San was furious. Xu Ran, that lecher, coveted the beauty of his mother, who was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with a stunning appearance after the Transformation, and had forcibly taken her.
He had already imagined all the causes and consequences, hating Xu Ran so much that he gritted his teeth, and he felt an immense pity for his mother's plight. Sooner or later, he would rescue her.
Xu Ran deserved to die!
Xu Ran deserved to die!
To kill his father, and now to do these things, was Xu Ran even human?
"What if I did? But rest assured, for the time being, she's fine. But who knows about the future? You know my character. I can't possibly have no feelings in front of such a beauty. You should be aware of my methods. As for whether she consents or not, do you think I would care?" Xu Ran sneered evilly.
"Xu Ran, you bastard, if you dare do that, I'll kill you! I'll make you pay!" Tang San roared miserably, completely enraged. At this moment, Tang San was even more agitated than when Xiaowu had been taken away by Xu Ran.
Xiaowu, no matter how beautiful, was an outsider, whereas Ah Yin was his family.
How could Tang San contain the fury in his heart if Xu Ran wanted to harm his family?
Tang San bared his teeth and claws; even though he was no match for Xu Ran, he had to let Xu Ran know his attitude.
Xu Ran was bullying him too much, too much!
Ahhh!
"Tsk tsk, this strength is still not enough. I know you have more up your sleeve. I don't know why you're not displaying it now, but I'll wait for you. Wait for you to come and rescue. Tsk tsk, I hope you can reunite with your family as you wish," Xu Ran said with a chuckle, but that smile seemed full of irony and mockery in Tang San's eyes.
Xu Ran's words killed without shedding blood, torturing Tang San even more than if he had actually killed him.
However, he, who had already been in despair, without any attachment to the world, once again ignited a belief—that was to rescue his family!
Xu Ran had used this tactic many times already, making Tang San pace back and forth between despair and hope. Sooner or later, Tang San's mentality would break under Xu Ran's manipulation, becoming numb and indifferent.
But what did that have to do with him?
Tang San, didn't he deserve to die? That was his punishment.
Xu Ran's light punch sent Tang San flying, then he stepped on Tang San's face with his foot. Countless streams of blood spurted from the corners of Tang San's mouth, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, filled with hatred and resentment.
"Do you hate me? But what can you do about it? You can only watch helplessly as everything you have slowly slips through your fingers; you will lose everything, kinship, love… until your family is destroyed and your people are dead."
"Moreover, you will bear all the despised sins, becoming a scumbag known throughout history, detested and cursed by generations," Xu Ran pressed his foot down on Tang San, revealing a cold smile.
What he wanted was not to kill Tang San in an instant; that would be too gentle.
What he wanted was for Tang San to watch as he lost everything bit by bit. When he strived to achieve something, he would always fail, and that impotence was truly heart-wrenching.
That was the punishment he gave to Tang San.
To see everything he cherished lost time and time again, wanting to protect but unable to do anything, in the end only able to erupt in powerless fury.
"I hate you!" Tang San managed to make out a muffled sound, his voice whiny and unable to articulate complete words as Xu Ran stepped on his mouth, but Xu Ran could tell what Tang San wanted to say from his expression.
However, this was also what Xu Ran cared about the least.
"Let's go. It's time to leave. Don't let some ignorant things spoil our mood," Xu Ran retracted his cold expression, speaking with a cheerful smile.
Qian Renxue and Hulena stood by the side, not knowing what Xu Ran had just said to Tang San, but they could tell from Tang San's violent reaction that there was a conflict between the two.
Hulena was startled; she had always thought Xu Ran was a modest gentleman, gentle and jade-like, but Xu Ran's way of disciplining Tang San was so terrifying.
Even Qian Renxue was taken aback. Xu Ran just now was different from the Xu Ran she usually saw. But when she thought about how Xu Ran was dealing with Tang San, she understood. Although she didn't know the grudge between Xu Ran and Tang San, one should never be merciful to enemies—when it's time to be ruthless, one must be ruthless.
If it had been her receiving the insults Tang San gave to Xu Ran, she would have been even more ruthless than Xu Ran. Xu Ran was her inverse scale, and she would never allow anyone to insult Xu Ran.
"I didn't scare you just now, did I?" After leaving the shop, Xu Ran said with a smile.
"No, you were so handsome just now, I really liked it," Qian Renxue blinked her golden eyes. Xu Ran looked handsome in his anger, somewhat bad in a cool way, different from his usual temperament, but there was a sort of charming roguishness about him that made him even more attractive.
