Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San smiled and said, "You were in the best state for comprehension at that time, stopping would have been a pity. How do you feel now?"

Pretty Girl said, "It feels like I\'ve grasped a lot of things, giving me a whole new understanding of space. I probably can\'t use it myself yet, but I believe that in the near future, once I comprehend more and have better control, I should be able to utilize it."

At this point, she paused slightly before speaking with a touch of reproach in her eyes, "This is really some trick you\'ve taught me! If this can be called a little trick, then what counts as a real skill?"

By now, she had no doubts that the magical skill Tang San taught her was incredibly profound.

Tang San smiled faintly and said, "I\'m glad it\'s helpful to you."

"Thank you," Pretty Girl said sincerely. "Although I\'ve always wondered why you keep helping me, being so kind, I\'m truly grateful. I didn\'t expect your comprehension of space to be so deep. I feel that in this regard, you\'re even stronger than my father. How about I take you as my master? Please come back with me to Jiali City later and guide me systematically."

A twitch passed over Tang San\'s lips as he almost blurted out, "That won\'t do."

Of course not! If he became her teacher, not to mention the mix-up in seniority, just imagine how socially ruined he would be when he eventually took off his mask!

Pretty Girl looked at him with a skeptical and somewhat fearful gaze, "Why? Haven\'t you been teaching me already?"

Tang San swallowed hard and said, "Our age difference isn\'t that big. It wouldn\'t be appropriate. Teaching you, of course, is fine at any time. But forget about being a teacher; I really can\'t assume that role."

Pretty Girl gave him a deep look and said, "You said you\'d always help me. You also know what I will be facing in Jiali City in the future. Without a reasonable identity, how will you explain yourself to the Peoples of the Peacock Demon Clan around me? The identity of a teacher is quite suitable, actually. I can persuade my father."

Tang San hadn\'t expected her to have this line of thinking, but clearly, she had started to accept him.

"Being a teacher still isn\'t fitting. How about you take me as your brother instead?" Tang San tentatively suggested. A brother should be fine; a sworn brother is still a brother! Although in this realm he was actually younger than her, he could not tell her that.

"Brother?" Pretty Girl was startled.

"Yeah!" Tang San immediately agreed without hesitation.

Pretty Girl\'s pretty face stiffened, "You really don\'t stand on ceremony, do you!"

"I\'m a little weak, let me faint for a while longer." Tang San closed his eyes and tilted his head, feigning weakness.

Pretty Girl watched him with annoyance, but remembering how he had helped her grasp space earlier, her heart softened, and she murmured, "Fine, fine, Brother it is then."

"Alright." Tang San immediately reopened his eyes, brimming with joy.

...

"Third brother, third brother, come here."

"I am here, I\'ve always been here."

"Actually, I know, I know it all." Xiaowu said softly. "You purposely came back a bit late, didn\'t you?"

"I\'m sorry, third brother. I\'m so sorry."

"Don\'t cry! Today is a day of great joy for our family reunion. Don\'t cry! You were never as beautiful as me to begin with, and crying only makes you look uglier. Hehe."

"Alright, alright, I won\'t cry, I won\'t cry."

"That\'s more like it. Today really is a good day. My last wish has also been fulfilled, our grandson is safe and sound. Tang San, being with you in this life as your wife, I\'ve been truly blessed. Exceptionally blessed. I have never regretted my choice. Perhaps, I saved the universe in my past life so that I could meet you in this one."

"We have been together for a very long, long time. But I still can\'t bear to let you go, can\'t bear to lose you."

"Even though I have always known that we actually returned a long time ago, you deliberately kept the Divine Realm from finding this place. And you stayed by my side every day, just so I could find some comfort and live a few more days. But I just pretended not to know. I also wanted, wanted to spend more time with you, to stay by your side. Tang San, I love you so much."

"But I still have to go. After I\'m gone, I know you\'ll be very sad. However, you have many responsibilities. You have to manage the Divine Realm well, you have to take good care of our daughter, our son. You have to be the head of our family. If you miss me, just look at this."

"Xiaowu..."

"To live is the bravest thing, while death is but an escape. You must be brave. There are still so many, so many things waiting for you. Take good care of our children, help Xuanyu achieve greatness in the Divine Realm. There\'s still so much, so much for you to do."

"Tang San, I love you."

"Do you remember the first time we met? Do you remember all that we\'ve been through? Tang San, for you, I would love the whole world. If there\'s another life, I would still be your wife..."

...

"What\'s wrong?" Pretty Girl looked at Asura, who was sitting there with tears streaming down his face, in shock.

His tears flowed down his mask as if he could no longer control his emotions.

It was after she called him brother that his tears had unstoppably burst forth. For some reason, as she watched his tears, her heart ached, as if her heart was being clenched tightly.

"I, I\'m fine... I\'m fine... I\'m just too happy... I was thinking about some things from the past." At that moment, Tang San was still sobbing uncontrollably.

Pretty Girl didn\'t know how to comfort him, but even though he was still wearing a mask, he seemed more real to her now. What kind of past and stories did he have in his heart that made him cry so heartbrokenly at her simple call of brother?

After a while, Tang San finally managed to stop his tears, "Sorry, sorry, I couldn\'t control my emotions."

Pretty Girl said softly, "It\'s okay, if you want to talk, I can be your listener."

But Tang San gently shook his head, "It\'s not the time yet, one day, I will tell you, but not now."

In this life, he had finally found her; this life\'s Xiaowu was now Pretty Girl. He wouldn\'t tell her about his past life until she truly fell in love with him, as it wouldn\'t be fair to her in this life. He wanted to earnestly pursue her anew, to make her willing to be his wife again. When that time came, he would then connect her to the memories and love of their past life, so that she would have no regrets in this life.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San\'s emotions gradually stabilized, and he looked at Pretty Girl with eyes still somewhat red and swollen, "Could you call me that again?"

"Brother?"

"Yes."

"Brother!"

Even after Pretty Girl had left, Tang San\'s mind still remained in a daze, the consumption of Heavenly Circle had been truly, truly worth it. The identity of Asura had finally brought him a little closer to Pretty Girl, and he had finally heard her calling him brother again. Although she wasn\'t calling him Tang San yet, he was already immensely, immensely satisfied. He wished he could give her all the beauty in the world, leaving nothing behind just for her.

It wasn\'t until the sky outside had darkened that Tang San\'s heart finally became completely steady. Although he had expended a lot of spiritual power today and hadn\'t cultivated much, today could be said to be the happiest day for him since he arrived in this world, making his whole heart feel clear and transparent.
