Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San could not help but admire in his heart; no wonder he had been able to manage Jiali City so prosperously, with booming commerce. Even at this moment, he maintained a business mindset. The sea held countless treasures, and obtaining trade rights with the Sea Clan would indeed bring immense benefits to Jiali City.

"This will have to wait until the future. We have heard that the City Lord intends to have Pretty Girl succeed to the throne, and we believe that this will mark the beginning of our friendship with the nobles. The Sea God has said that if Pretty Girl must face her tribulation, she should go to the Endless Blue Ocean. There, the Sea God will personally protect her, and no risks will exist."

The Peacock Demon King said, "If that is the case, that would be wonderful. If the Sea God has any needs on land, please feel free to speak."

Tang San said, "As a matter of fact, there is indeed one item that the Sea God needs right now. Let me describe its appearance and characteristics for you."

Thereupon, Tang San meticulously described the appearance of Heavenly Fire Fine Gold. He could no longer produce the Earth Shattering Hammer and therefore had to rely on a description.

After listening to his description, the Peacock Demon King said, "The metal you are describing sounds like Magma Iron, an extremely rare metal that is naturally very hot but difficult to manipulate."

Tang San asked, "Would it be possible for you to search for some for the Sea God?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Without any hesitation, the Peacock Demon King said, "We can try. However, this metal is quite rare and the value is correspondingly high, so it may take some time."

Tang San said, "There's no rush with the timing, as I will stay by Pretty Girl's side to protect her during her tribulation."

The Peacock Demon King nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you with that; I will arrange for your accommodation shortly."

Tang San really wanted to say that he was fine with staying here but was afraid of being turned away, so he could only nod his head.

What they called Magma Iron was actually Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, or Heavenly Fire Fine Gold, which was the material used to forge the Earth Shattering Hammer. Whether this material was scarce in this realm, Tang San was not sure. But the fact that it had appeared at the Jiali City auction and was not highly valued suggests it might not be too precious, as the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan of this realm did not recognize this divine metal.

With the capability of the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce Guild, obtaining some should not be a big problem. Having more Heavenly Fire Fine Gold melted into Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid would be a tremendous help to Tang San. Not only would it aid in forging and speed up the absorption of the Time-space marker, but it could also serve as a weapon. Although Tang San was not adept with fire attributes, the pure Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid was no less powerful than an ordinary divine tool, capable of melting gold and dissolving iron; regular weapons were simply dross before it.

Your journey continues on empire

The Peacock Demon King probed with a few more subtle questions about the Sea God. Tang San in his Previous World had been the Sea God, so he handled these inquiries with ease. The Peacock Demon King was not too worried about whether the Sea Clan had intentions toward the land. The Monsters and Spirit Clan had over a dozen Emperor-Level Experts. Even if the Sea God was powerful, it was not possible to contend against over a dozen emperors. Besides, how much power would the Sea God retain away from the sea? Furthermore, the Sea God had helped them before and was deemed trustworthy. What designs could an emperor have on Pretty Girl? More importantly, the Peacock Demon King's time was short; under these circumstances, he had no choice but to trust Tang San.

The location for Pretty Girl's tribulation was then set – it would take place amidst the Endless Blue Ocean and was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Tang San stayed within the ancient castle of the Peacock Demon Clan. It was his first visit to this place, and naturally, he was unfamiliar with everything. He did not wander around casually and settled down in the room arranged for him by the Peacock Demon King, engaging in self-cultivation.

Pretty Girl's feelings toward him now were clearly different compared with the previous relationship with Asura. Although she had initially accepted this, her heart was somewhat complex. Especially after hearing Tang San recount the connections from the Previous World, she had carefully recalled the fragmented scenes she saw when she first acquired the Asura God's Sword. Although she could not see them clearly at that time, she was an entity in control of the Heavenly Mechanism. By verifying those vague fragments against Tang San's story, she vaguely understood that his words were likely true. As incredible as it was, if all of this were real, then this man was her reincarnated husband come to find her!

Even when she was with Asura, she tended to regard him more as a brother. But when she was with Tang San in earlier times, each time she saw Tang San, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and even fondness, which now she thought might be related to their bond from the Previous World.

However, she couldn't recall anything from her previous world, no matter how hard she tried. She had thought about asking Tang San to share the story with her, but in the end, she restrained herself. Would knowing the truth really be good? She wasn't sure herself, and perhaps, it wasn't necessarily a good thing to know everything. Besides, she was too preoccupied with other matters at the moment, so she didn't dwell too much on it.

After acknowledging their relationship, her perception of Tang San underwent many subtle changes. At the very least, she no longer regarded him as a brother. But, at the same time, she couldn't possibly treat him as a husband either! As a result, when he lived not far from her, she found herself intentionally avoiding him, unsure of how to face him.

Tang San wasn't surprised by this at all. He also didn't take the initiative to seek out Pretty Girl. As long as he was guarding her, he was in no hurry; time would prove everything. With matters of the heart, it was best to let things take their natural course. He had already planned to wait until the Pretty Girl of this world truly fell in love with him before gradually telling her about their past. However, plans can't keep up with changes, and to prevent her from grieving over the death of Asura, he had no choice but to tell her beforehand.

Now that things had come to this point, it was best to take it slow and give Pretty Girl time to accept everything.

Two days passed in a blink, and the news of Pretty Girl facing her Tribulation was kept a strict secret; in fact, only she and her father were truly privy to it. Usually, if one followed traditional practices for undergoing a Tribulation, it would be done on the Peacock Demon Clan's ancestral land, where the whole clan would find out immediately, making it hard to predict what changes might occur. That's why the Peacock Demon King had been carefully selecting a location for Pretty Girl's Tribulation, with the goal of being as far from the clan as possible, to ensure she could face the Tribulation undisturbed. If she could succeed and reach the God Rank, then the obstacles to inheriting the position of the patriarch would naturally diminish.

Early in the morning, Tang San's door was knocked on early.

Tang San finished his meditation, opened the door, and saw Pretty Girl, dressed in a long white dress, standing cutely before him. He hadn't seen her at all yesterday, and now, looking at her face, Tang San couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and he blurted out, "You're so beautiful." Perhaps it was the development that comes with age, but now Pretty Girl seemed more and more like her former self, although there was a slight difference in her temperament.

Pretty Girl's cheeks turned red, "We need to get ready to set off. Get yourself sorted out. I'll call you in a bit."

"Okay," Tang San nodded.

Pretty Girl turned and left. After Tang San freshened up and had his breakfast delivered directly to his room, she came by again.

"Let's set off," said Pretty Girl to him.

"Okay," Tang San nodded.

Silver light swirled, expanding under her feet, encompassing both of their bodies within it; the next instant, they teleported away.

No one in the Peacock Demon Clan's ancient castle was disturbed; spatial fluctuations were nothing out of the ordinary there.

The spatial fluctuation rippled as Pretty Girl and Tang San appeared out of thin air in a corner of Jiali City.

The Peacock Demon King, clad in a black cloak with a hood, was already waiting there.

"Are we heading out to sea directly?" the Peacock Demon King asked Tang San.
