"How does it feel to regain your youth?" Tang San asked Lan Yin Zi a question.
"What do you mean by regaining youth? When I died... well, that might sound strange, but I was still relatively young." Lan Yinzi pondered for a moment, considering her age at the time of her sacrifice, which, by human standards, was not very old, only around thirty years old. "And after being reborn, I feel even younger."
Women always have a particular sensitivity when it comes to discussing their age with others.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Next question." Tang San decided to skip this topic, adjusting his detection glasses slightly. "So, whose body is this that you're inhabiting?"
"A traveler's."
Lan Yinzi felt there was nothing to hide, raising her hand to touch her face, revealing a slightly sickly smile.
"Ripping me out completely, then chewing and swallowing me... I have to say, it's quite audacious. After reading a few fanfics, she probably thought that by swallowing me, she could gain the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor. Tsk, she even underwent nine years of compulsory education, yet she doesn't even understand genetic inheritance. Could it be that my son is just a copy-and-paste of Tang Hao's genetic code? She's not cloning."
"Even in another world, there should still be laws."
"So, she failed, and my soul was preserved. Using her own Blue Silver Grass as a basis, it slowly influenced her character, ultimately corroding her soul... Do you think I'm despicable?"
Tang San shook his head.
Those who kill will always be killed.
Since this traveler was plotting to devour the Blue Silver Emperor to obtain its bloodline, it serves her right to be devoured and have her body taken over. It's simply a case of reaping what one sows.
"It seems you're quite open-minded." Lan Yin Zi sat down beside Tang San, feeling that this son understood adaptation better than the characters in books.
"Let's not dwell on that. I want to know, who do you think you are?" Tang San asked such a question. "A traveler? Or the Blue Silver Emperor? Or perhaps both?"
"To be honest, the mutual erosion of souls is... hmm, how should I put it, very complicated. Even if you asked me to explain it, I'm not sure myself," Lan Yinzi furrowed her brow, as if contemplating something. "But, if we're talking about memories, I think I am the Blue Silver Emperor, just with the memories of another person."
A person's self-awareness lies in their memories.
The Blue Silver Emperor had the memories of a hundred thousand years as a soul beast and thirty years as a human. Though not as colorful as the memories of the traveler, the long years eventually took precedence.
If the memories of the Blue Silver Emperor were a clear basin of water, then the memories of the traveler were a drop of colorful ink. Though the ink would darken the water momentarily upon contact, it would soon dissipate, making it hard to discern any changes in the basin.
However, one thing is certain: the ink has already merged with the water, resulting in changes, such as the Blue Silver Emperor calling herself Lan Yinzi and some alterations in her character.
Otherwise, she should have gone straight to Tang Hao instead of coming to find his son.
"So, how do you see me? After all, I'm not exactly original." Tang San asked the crucial question.
"No, you are." Lan Yinzi, contrary to expectations, said firmly.
"Oh? How so?" Tang San raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Lan Yinzi was so confident. After all, in his understanding, while he might be the son of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor by blood, personally, he wasn't. He was a traveler from modern times.
"Your soul matches your appearance," Lan Yin Zi gave her reason.
"That's it?"
Tang San was a bit speechless.
If his soul didn't match his appearance, whether he could control this body freely would still be a big question.
Moreover, when it comes to the soul, Tang San believed that self-awareness is most important, which is based on one's own experiences and memories.
The memories of his past life are still fresh.
Therefore, his self-awareness has always been clear; this life is just the beginning of a new journey.
"What's wrong? Do you have a different opinion?" Lan Yinzi hugged Tang San and nuzzled his face. "Anyway, you are my son, and that's something you can never deny."
"Well, you can't be sure about that. After all, you're currently in an ordinary human body, without any bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor." Tang San propped Lan Yinzi's face with one hand, pushing her away with a hint of disgust. "And also, don't get too close. I'm afraid others might misunderstand."
Lan Yinzi wiped away imaginary tears, sobbing, "Oh, my son actually rejects his mother. What am I going to do when I grow old?"
Tang San watched Lan Yinzi's performance for a moment, then placed his right hand on his right thigh, circulating his Celestial Douluo powers, and activated his blood energy.
With the combined effects of soul power and blood energy, a piece of soul bone gradually peeled away.
Pop!
When the soul bone was finally extracted, Tang San's complexion turned slightly pale, but within three breaths, he recovered completely.
"You!" Lan Yinzi stared at the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone in shock, not understanding how Tang San managed to extract the soul bone without cutting off the leg or why he did it.
"Here, this is your soul bone." Tang San returned the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. "For me, soul bones aren't that important, and they may even hinder the purity of my blood energy. Even though this soul bone is of the same origin as mine, it ultimately doesn't belong to me. Even if I forcibly imprint my mark on it, it won't change that fact."
Lan Yinzi dumbfoundedly took the soul bone, then a look of confusion and even sadness appeared on her face. "You don't want the things your mother left for you?"
This time, tears truly welled up in her eyes.
"I just feel it's more suitable for you." Tang San couldn't help but reach out and wipe away the tear at the corner of Lan Yinzi's eye. "Come on, smile, don't cry like this. We're both adults now."
At that moment!
Compared to being a mother to Lan Yinzi, Tang San seemed more like her father, displaying a gentle and caring attitude that Lan Yinzi had never experienced before.
In the end, persuaded by Tang San, Lan Yinzi absorbed the soul bone.
Since the energy for boosting soul power had already been absorbed by Tang San, Lan Yinzi only enhanced her body strength.
However, for Lan Yinzi, this soul bone was connected to her soul. Even though this body didn't belong to her, she could perfectly absorb it and fully utilize its effects, one hundred percent.
"What's next for you?" Tang San asked Lan Yinzi about her future plans.
"Didn't I join the Spirit Hall just like you? Naturally, I'll be accompanying my son," Lan Yinzi replied without hesitation, as if it were obvious. "At the very least, I want you to call me 'mom'."
Tang San's mouth twitched, feeling a bit at a loss, and he countered, "Not going to find Tang Hao?"
"What's the point of finding him? He won't die anyway." Mentioning Tang Hao, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Lan Yinzi's eyes, but whether it was because of her rebirth or not, her feelings for him had faded. "Besides, I've been reborn, starting a new life, isn't that okay?"
"Then why bother me?" Tang San was speechless.
"Hehe, because I'm your mother, right? There's a saying, 'A mother follows her son, a son follows his mother, mother and son in one heart, their bond is unbreakable,'" Lan Yinzi joked seriously.
"Next." Tang San decided to ignore this somewhat unreasonable and coquettish behavior of his mother, drew the curtains open, and called out to the people outside.
"Here!"
Yu Tianheng strode towards the dormitory door, eagerly anticipating the process of refining his Ice and Fire Body...
Half a day later, except for Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, everyone had gone through the process of refining their Ice and Fire Bodies. After the girls achieved their golden bodies, Tang San would draw the curtains for them to change clothes.
During the time Tang San helped others refine their Ice and Fire Bodies, he also collected a lot of information and provided some future cultivation advice to everyone.
"Everyone, see you in five years!"
Everyone waved goodbye, bidding farewell to each other.
Before leaving, Tang San found the three teaching commissioners of the Tian Dou Imperial Academy and left them with a teaching outline.
This teaching outline, if applied to other academies, would undoubtedly improve the quality of teaching. However, in the Tian Dou Imperial Academy... most of the students were nobles, and they probably wouldn't accept strict discipline.
Tang San couldn't help it.
After all, the internal situation of the Tian Dou Empire was deteriorating. The Tian Dou Empire could still contend with the Star Luo Empire, not only because the Spirit Hall had delayed the invasion of the Star Luo Empire, but also because there were numerous soul master families within the Tian Dou Empire, and the royal family of the Tian Dou Empire held military power, with several Soul Douluo-level generals in the army.
Therefore, Tang San specially gave the three teaching commissioners something else: a set of soul power operation methods tailored according to the characteristics of their martial souls.
The effect of these methods, besides accelerating cultivation speed, was to purify soul power.
The three commissioners were extremely grateful because Tang San's soul power operation methods gave them hope of breaking through the Titled Douluo level. Otherwise, they would only grow old in the realm of Soul Douluo...
After bidding farewell to the three commissioners and Qin Ming, Tang San visited Ma Xiao nuo with Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and Lan Yinzi, preparing to make a trip to Nuoding City to visit old acquaintances.
Originally, Tang San didn't intend to bring Lan Yinzi, but she followed along on her own.
Su Yuntou and Sisi had both reached the rank of Soul Ancestor, and they even had a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Su Haitao...
Wang Sheng had just obtained his second soul ring three days ago, becoming a Level 21 Grand Soul Master, and had established a romantic relationship with a girl of the same age in the patrol team...
Old Jack, as usual, spent most of his time in the Holy Soul Village, only living in the estate in Nuoding City during the winter.
