Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Wang Yanfeng coughed and said, "Not too bad. I feel quite hopeful about passing the upcoming assessment."

"Oh? Was the awakening that effective?" Guigui's eyes lit up. "No wonder you keep him by your side. But, you must keep an eye on him. Those Monsters have never harbored any good feelings toward us. Make sure he doesn't stir up trouble."

"Don't worry. Tang San is quite steady," Wang Yanfeng said with a smile. In his eyes, Tang San was no longer seen as a child. Their daily interactions and Tang San's speech and emotions all conveyed a sense of maturity beyond his years, as if he were the eldest among the five of them.

Guigui became even more puzzled, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in this boy! After completing the mission, do you plan to explore the city?"

Wang Yanfeng nodded and said, "Bringing him here is also for him to see the world."

Guigui said, "That's good. Recently, Jiali City has been quite peaceful, with no conflicts arising. You've come at the right time."

Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Gui, are there conflicts in the city?"

Guigui replied, "Of course, there are. Among the Various Monster Clans, many do not see eye to eye. Especially those Races of similar strength often fight over their rankings. Different rankings mean access to different resources. Our Wind Wolf Tribe, for instance, is enemies with the Flash Leopard Clan, and there are frequent battles between us. More often than not, we come out a bit worse for wear. So, don't easily reveal your Wind Wolf Transformation, because you never know when you might encounter a Monster from a Clan that is hostile to our lineage. They will not be merciful to us vassals. For a vassal of the Wind Wolf Bloodline to die, the Wind Wolf Tribe wouldn't even blink an eye. For us Human vassals, not easily revealing our Demon God Transformation has become a rule of survival, understand?"

The Flash Leopard Clan? Leopard Flash?

Tang San's heart stirred, "Aunt Gui, is the Flash Leopard Clan also in Jiali City?"

"Yes. Their ancestral house is also here. Jiali City, as one of the seven main cities, houses the ancestral houses of seven major Clans. These ancestral houses are the core of each Race. Both the Wind Wolf Tribe and the Flash Leopard Clan are among them. Although each is just a branch of the Wolf Monster and Leopard demon, they still hold a place in the city. But the ancestral houses of all the significant Clans are in Holy Spirit City. Only the top ten Clans ranked within the top ten can place their ancestral houses in the core area of Holy Spirit City. The rest can only be in the peripheral areas."

Tang San remembered what Guigui had said closely. Living in Jiali City, Guigui seemed to know more than Wang Yanfeng.

"Aunt Gui, have you been to Holy Spirit City?" Tang San asked with obvious curiosity.

Guigui shook her head and said, "No, I've only heard about it. It's not a place that ordinary vassals can go. There, the most powerful beings of the Monster and Fairy Clans are gathered. Just a sneeze from one great monster could kill us. It is said to be a vast city with no visible limits."

After dinner, Wang Yanfeng and Tang San went to bed early.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed for cultivation, Tang San could clearly feel that the absorption rate of Origin Energy here was faster. The Origin Energy in Jiali City was rich. Furthermore, since entering the city, Tang San had noticed that the concentration of Origin Energy varied from place to place. The area where they were staying was relatively thin.

The night passed quietly. The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Yanfeng and Tang San left the small inn and headed towards the Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House.

The Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House was located in a more central area of Jiali City. The city, set in a basin, was enormous, and running in the streets was not allowed. After walking for more than two hours, Tang San could see the location of the Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House from a distance.

He recognized it at first glance because there was a huge green wolf's head emblem on the tall courtyard wall.

The emblem, with a diameter of more than three meters, was highly conspicuous atop the grand entrance, emitting a faint bluish-gray light. This made the wind element in the surrounding air noticeably denser, even causing air currents to ripple outward, repelling any entities approaching the gate.

This was actually an entire Wind Spirit Stone, three meters in diameter—how much would that weigh!

From the outside, one could see the courtyard walls of the Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House stretching out on both sides, for at least a hundred meters. The ten-meter-high walls securely hid everything inside, making it impossible to get a glimpse from the outside.

Just being near the courtyard wall, an intangible pressure seemed to emerge, making it difficult even to breathe.

Wang Yanfeng led Tang San along beside the wall, and as they approached the main gate, several Wolf Monsters, likely around the Fourth Stage, blocked their path.

The guard at the main gate consisted of four Wolf Monsters, each standing over 2.2 meters tall, clearly belonging to the Fourth Stage.

Wang Yanfeng immediately released his Wind Wolf Transformation, his body swollen, and his eyes shining with a teal light, revealing his status as a vassal of the Wind Wolf Tribe.

"What are you here for?" a Wolf Monster of the Wind Wolf Tribe asked coldly.

Wang Yanfeng hurriedly said, "We come from Wind Wolf Town, this time to deliver the annual contribution list to the clan leader. Could you please pass the message on?"

Upon hearing it was about the contribution list, the face of the Wolf Monster from the Wind Wolf Tribe softened a bit, "Just come in with me." Saying that, he led the way inside.

Wang Yanfeng quickly followed.

Just as Tang San was about to follow, a large hand belonging to a Wolf Monster blocked his way, "This kid doesn't need to come in. What's a little brat doing here? Looking for trouble? Wait outside."

Taken aback, Tang San looked at Wang Yanfeng, who hadn't expected this either; it seemed to be because of Tang San's young age, which made the Wolf Monsters look down on him.

Wang Yanfeng hastily said, "Tang San, then you wait for me outside. Wait over there."

In front of the Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House was an open area, like a small square, with a huge ancient tree at its center. The towering tree would need more than a dozen people to encircle it, with its vast canopy providing plenty of shade.

This area was the core of Jiali City, and Wang Yanfeng had already informed Tang San that the ancestral homes of several major clans were located in this area.

Wang Yanfeng gave Tang San a meaningful look, indicating that he should wait by the large tree and not wander around in front of the Wolf Monsters to avoid being questioned too much or annoying them to the point where they might harm him.

Tang San obediently agreed, turning to walk away.

The Wolf Monsters apparently didn't take him seriously, and the lead one went straight into the ancestral house with Wang Yanfeng.

Tang San couldn't help but feel a bit bored; he had wanted to go inside the Wind Wolf Clan Ancestral House to experience the energy levels of the higher-ranking Wolf Monsters and scout the layout, preparing for his possible future theft of the Wind Wolf Bloodline. Yet, he hadn't even made it through the door.

He walked straight to the tree, where the massive canopy covered a wide area, and the air became even fresher.

In this central area of Jiali City, even members of the Monster race rarely passed by, and there were other large residences in the distance. To avoid drawing more attention from the Wolf Monster gatekeepers, Tang San simply went around to the other side of the tree and found a place to sit and wait for Wang Yanfeng.

When he arrived on the other side of the tree, he had just settled down when he saw a small shop near the road in the distance.

Is there a shop here?

The shop front looked to have a front and back entrance, with the front being a storefront and the back appearing to be residential quarters.

A sign was hung above the storefront, which read: Pretty Girl Milk Tea Shop.
