Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Pretty Girl nodded and said, "Let me know what you need from Jiali City, whatever resources you need, just tell me, and I'll help you prepare."

Tang San smiled, "This feeling of being kept is really great!"

"Pah! Who's keeping you?" Pretty Girl punched him, "What do we do now?"

Tang San said, "You can cultivate here too. Although the spirituality of heaven and earth in my Golden Valley isn't as abundant as in your castle, the Life Aura is very ample. It's best if you cultivate at your place for one day, and then cultivate here the next day. Absorb the spirituality of heaven and earth to enhance your cultivation base, and then consolidate your own body with the Life Force. This will make the increase in your cultivation very stable and won't affect your potential. I'm not sure if I can help you reach the Demon King Level in the upcoming thought processes, but reaching the peak of God Rank shouldn't be a problem. Right, that Heavenly Mechanism Feather, give it to me later, I'll modify it a bit."

Pretty Girl said, "Wouldn't that be difficult to explain to the Peacock Demon Clan?"

Tang San said, "Don't worry about that. As long as you can become an Emperor in the future, a Heavenly Mechanism Feather doesn't amount to much. Moreover, its power will be greater after I modify it. The main thing is to prevent you from suffering the Heavenly Mechanism's backlash while using it."

"Okay." Pretty Girl didn't ask further, a flash of silver light, and the bright Heavenly Mechanism Feather appeared in her hand.

The three silver feathers emitted a faint glow, the aura on this divine tool was clearly much richer than before. Although Pretty Girl hadn't merged it with herself as her Lifebound Divine Artifact during her ascension, she still provided a considerable nourishment to this recognized divine tool after becoming a God.

Tang San said, "You need to stay by my side while I reforge it because you are its master. I need your help."

Pretty Girl asked, "Shall we refine it today?"

Tang San said, "No rush. You first cultivate for a while longer, and I need to think carefully about how to refine it. We may have more than ten months left, but time is actually very tight; there's a lot to be done."

Pretty Girl nodded, "You decide, I'll listen to you."

Tang San brought Pretty Girl to the Golden Tree, and at that moment, a pleasant voice rang out, "My lord."

Four red-named girls came out and respectfully saluted Tang San, their beautiful eyes curiously turned towards Pretty Girl.

Seeing them, Pretty Girl was taken aback and blurted out, "Red Fox Tribe?"

Ater saying that, her gaze immediately shifted to Tang San, changing in an instant.

There was Killing Intent! Tang San instantly felt that Pretty Girl was on the verge of releasing her White Tiger Transformation and quickly coughed to interrupt, "Quick, greet your mistress."

The red-named girls immediately reacted, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Mistress."

Pretty Girl turned to look at them, smiled slightly, and said, "I am not your mistress, you can call me Pretty Girl." As she spoke, her fingers had already twisted one hundred and eighty degrees around someone's waist.

Tang San, enduring the pain, explained, "They are not from the Red Fox Tribe; they are all human. They are mixed-blood children of humans and the Red Fox Tribe. Initially, my teacher and I saw them at the big auction in Jiali City; they were being sold as slaves. You know what those filthy noble monsters intended to do. Taking pity on them, the teacher had me bid on them. It wasn't convenient to place them in Redemption Academy, so I let them stay here to guard the Golden Valley and to cultivate."

"Auction?" Pretty Girl frowned slightly, "There are such filthy auctions? That's terrible."

Tang San laughed, "There won't be any in the future. With you here, these are all things that can change."

"Mhm." The compassion in Pretty Girl's eyes deepened as she looked at the red-named girls, "You've suffered."

Red One said, "Not at all, fortunately, our lord took us in and taught us to cultivate. We're living pretty well here."

Pretty Girl said, "But this place is too lonely, you're all at the bloom of youth, always cooped up in this valley, it's not good for your future. How about this, later I'll take you out to get accustomed to the outside world."

Red One was taken aback and her eyes immediately reddened, she turned her head to look at Tang San, "Master, this..."

Tang San quickly said, "The mistress has just inherited the position of City Lord of Jiali City and is now the most powerful person in Jiali City. She is doing this for your own good. She's right, you can't stay here forever. Even if she hadn't mentioned it, I would have been preparing to take you out. You've been training hard for so long, and you need some real-world experience; otherwise, mere cultivation can't be turned into combat power. Besides, you need to have lives of your own."

"Master, can we still follow you?" Red Six asked.

Tang San smiled and said, "Of course, I will always be with your mistress. You will surely keep following us."

Only then did the Red girls heave a sigh of relief. Raised as slaves since childhood, they were actually full of fear about the outside world; it was Tang San who had given them new lives, and without him, they truly didn't know what they would do.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Pretty Girl said, "You don't have to worry, later you can take turns accompanying me outside to adjust."

Tang San then nodded and said, "Alright, you don't need to guard here anymore, I'm going to be cultivating in seclusion here with your mistress for a while."

"Yes." The Red girls withdrew.

"Tell me, what's really going on?" Pretty Girl looked at Tang San, hands on hips, with an imposing aura.

Tang San gave a wry smile and responded, "It's just as I said! Don't be jealous for no reason, aside from you, I haven't loved anyone else in my three lifetimes."

Pretty Girl was startled, "Three lifetimes?"

Tang San slightly nodded and said, "Yes, including this rebirth here, I've now lived three lives as a person. It's just that the first life was very simple. I can tell you about it if you want to hear."

"Sure! So, we met during your second life?" Pretty Girl asked.

Tang San nodded and replied, "Yes, that was the most important life, because you were in it."

Pretty Girl said, "So when can you tell me our past life story?"

But Tang San shook his head and stated, "I can't, talking too much about it might affect your divine consciousness. You've only just started to develop divine consciousness, and within it are some marks of your past life. As your cultivation base increases, when you can achieve the level of Emperor, the memories of your past life should gradually awaken. If I tell you now and it leads to some of your memories resurrecting prematurely, it could disarrange your divine consciousness, creating big problems."

Pretty Girl frowned and said, "Is it that complicated? I thought you'd tell me, so I could..."

Tang San laughed and replied, "So you could what? Fall in love with me? I am confident in that, both in this life and the last one."

Pretty Girl turned away, "Don't flatter yourself."

Tang San chuckled and stated, "Alright, let me tell you about my first life. That shouldn't impact you too much."

"Alright." Pretty Girl sat down with him under the Golden Tree, and surrounded by a thick life aura, Tang San began his story.

"In my first life, I actually led a very ordinary existence, but the end was rather special. Back then, I was an orphan picked up by an Elder of the Tang Sect..."

Listening to Tang San's story, especially when he came to the part about the cliff jumping, Pretty Girl's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock, "Why were you so rash back then? If you were so gifted in creating hidden weapons, couldn't you have talked it out with them?"
