章 49: Chapter 48: Ah Yin's Suspicions, Ah Yin's Mental Breakdown_1
However, she also had many questions.
Why did the Emperor's Auspicious Beast appear here? Why was the Emperor's Auspicious Beast in human form? Could it be that Auspicious Beasts can also be reborn as humans?
Her heart was filled with confusion, but she was unable to express it, simply caressing Xu Ran's fingers with the tendrils of Blue Silver Grass, a gesture of attachment and submission.
Even if a soul beast undertook the process of rebirth, it would be under the protection of the good fortune of an Auspicious Beast and hence ought to submit and serve it as a master.
"I know that you now have your own consciousness and that you're aware of my presence. If you can understand what I'm saying, then use a leaf to nod your head," said Xu Ran, trying to communicate with Ah Yin. The Blue Silver Grass held the complete consciousness of Ah Yin and definitely understood him. It was for this reason that he chose to show off in front of Ah Yin.
As long as Tang Hao revealed what had happened in the past, his image in Ah Yin's heart would completely collapse. The betrayal by a lover, Tang Hao's deliberate scheme to harm her, while she, foolish as she was, sacrificed herself to enable Tang Hao's survival.
If Ah Yin knew about these things, Tang Hao would only be seen as her enemy, not her lover.
And sure enough, after Xu Ran finished speaking, the blade of grass where Ah Yin resided trembled lightly, indicating that she still possessed a complete consciousness.
"For falling in love with a human so rashly as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, what should your crime be?" Xu Ran said decisively, without considering Ah Yin's current situation.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, Ah Yin's heart was filled with even more guilt, and she was somewhat at a loss. What could she say when questioned by the Emperor's Auspicious Beast? It's just that, what she sought was not found in The Soul Beast Realm.
Yet, she still had no regrets about falling in love with Tang Hao.
Because their love was so pure, so perfect, so one-of-a-kind. Their love crossed species, crossed genders, how magnificent it was!
They were even the first couple to prove that humans and soul beasts could share genuine love. Even now, she had not a single regret, even at the moment when she offered herself up willingly. She did not know what Tang Hao and the others felt, but she was even moved by her own action.
Realizing Ah Yin had fallen still, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile.
Poor child, sold out and still counting money for others!
That lofty kind of love does not exist in this world. At least in Xu Ran's eyes, only love that develops over time seems somewhat reliable.
So-called love at first sight, to put it bluntly, is just about lust. Coveting another's body.
Without even knowing whether someone's stockings have not been washed for ten days, or if there's a sour stench, you already fall for them. Is that realistic? Love at first sight often turns to friends with benefits. Only with time can love last.
Even when love develops over time, it cannot withstand tests. That pure, unblemished love can only be found in Xu Ran, because he possesses such a quality and he would never do something like betray his wife.
"Do you think your feelings are very beautiful and worthy of respect?" Xu Ran asked with a smile, ready to enlighten the grass in front of him. Fancy liking anyone but choosing to like a hammer. Even if she had chosen Tang Xiao back in the days, her fate would not be like this. No other reason but because Tang Xiao is a decent man. He probably wouldn't do such a thing either.
"Since you think Tang Hao is so good, why did he choose to plant you in such a dark place without sunlight?" said Xu Ran, looking up. Inside this cave, there was only sunlight coming through a small hole dug by Tang Hao. Anyone with a bit of geographical knowledge would know that the sun's position changes constantly. Accordingly, so does the spot where sunlight falls through this hole.
One could say that only when it was noon and the sun was directly above the hole would the light shine straight down onto Ah Yin. At other times, the light that fell would be at an angle.

That is to say, Ah Yin could only engage in photosynthesis for barely more than an hour each day.
For Ah Yin, a plant soul beast, this must have been torture. Moreover, the cave was damp, and the soil was compacted and hard. When Xu Ran had just removed Ah Yin, he had noticed that her roots were soaked and turned white from the damp vapor. If this Blue Silver Grass wasn't Ah Yin in disguise, possessing strong vitality, it would have likely withered long ago.
He certainly didn't believe that Hao Tian Douluo, with his great reputation, would be unaware of such basic knowledge. What's more, his own wife was a plant soul beast; he must have had some understanding, right?
"Even if you think Tang Hao was fleeing and couldn't take you with him, you are now just a common piece of Blue Silver Grass. Even if he did take you along, there wouldn't be any problems. After all, Blue Silver Grass is the most common plant in the world, and no one would notice you," Xu Ran said sharply again. When Ah Yin was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had transformed, Tang Hao dared to run around with her. Now that Ah Yin was just a regular piece of Blue Silver Grass, which wouldn't attract powerful enemies' attention, would he plant her in such a place out of concern for her?
"Moreover, I can tell you that these years Tang Hao has been living in seclusion in a place called Saint Soul Village, hiding his identity. No one knows who he is, so why won't he plant you in Saint Soul Village? Looking after you himself would be better than letting you survive on your own here," Xu Ran continued to question, observing Ah Yin's reaction.
Under Xu Ran's relentless questioning, Ah Yin's emotions began to shift, with the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass trembling wildly.
In fact, she too harbored some doubts. Why had Tang Hao planted her here? Before, when she had been alive, she had taught Tang Hao many things about planting flowers and herbs. Why then did he still make such a big mistake? She could only attribute this to Tang Hao not listening attentively at the time, a man who didn't understand how to care for plants.
But why, throughout the years, did he seldom visit her? Almost never had Tang Hao done so.
Why was all this?
If Tang Hao truly loved her, wouldn't he come to see her even once? What exactly did he want to do?
She had always thought Tang Hao was fleeing, that he didn't visit her because he was afraid of exposing himself. But now that he was living a stable life in seclusion, why hadn't he come to see her?
Could Tang Hao really be that kind of person?
A sliver of doubt entered Ah Yin's heart, accompanied by some fear. She was afraid that what Xu Ran said was true, which would be unbearably sad.
However, Ah Yin was only swayed by Xu Ran's words momentarily before calming down. She believed in Tang Hao, and more so in the love between them.
Tang Hao must have had his reasons.
"I know you won't believe it. When I lure Tang Hao here, everything will be clear. By then, you will understand what kind of person Tang Hao is," Xu Ran shook his head, believing that a woman in love has zero intelligence. They won't even believe what they see and feel, only the illusory love.
Such a woman, Xu Ran did not know how to judge anymore.
Women who trust in love are treasures, but alas, it's a tragedy when they love the wrong man.
Tang San, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, one after another, are but hypocrites accustomed to deception. When you strip away their layer of hypocrisy, you find that Tang San is a despicable wretch who eats from the bowl and then curses it once it's broken. Tang Hao is a beast who only ensnares his wife and daughter-in-law. Yu Xiaogang is a double-dealer who plays both sides between Bi Bidong, Tang San, and Liu Erlong.
Base behavior is the pass for the base, nobility is the epitaph for the noble.
This world has always been absurd.
