Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Oh, oh." Only then did Tang San let go, his heart reluctant to do so. Pretty Girl\'s originally cold little hand had gotten somewhat warm from being held by him.

"Who are you?" Pretty Girl\'s gaze was piercing as she sized him up.

Tang San\'s face was covered by a mask, and he wore dark clothes.

"I..." Upon hearing her question, he hesitated, how much he wanted to tell her, I am your husband from a past life, and I will be in this one too. But saying that, he probably would be considered crazy.

"You can call me Asura." Tang San had thought to name his alias after the Sea God, since that was his godhood from a previous life, but the name of Sea God seemed too ostentatious. Asura God was another godhood he and his wife from his previous life had jointly held.

"Asura?" Pretty Girl was startled, the name sounding somewhat strange.

"Are you human?" Pretty Girl asked.

"Yes, yes," Tang San nodded.

"Thank you for saving me." Pretty Girl\'s voice remained somewhat indifferent, as if the danger she had faced earlier had nothing to do with her.

Such mental fortitude was unmatched, Tang San thought to himself.

"No need to thank me." I will always protect you, he thought to himself.

"I must be going now," Pretty Girl said as she turned to leave.

"Where are you headed to now?" Tang San asked.

Pretty Girl replied, "Back to camp. My tent is still there."

"Go back?" Tang San was taken aback, "Aren\'t you afraid of those people trying to catch you..."

Pretty Girl silently shook her head, "If it didn\'t dare kill me, what else can it do? If it were truly capable, it wouldn\'t need to fear someone with human bloodline like me."

A thought crossed Tang San\'s mind at that moment; he suddenly realized something.

Throughout the entire attack, Pretty Girl had remained very calm and composed, and she was the same now. What did this mean? Did she have a contingency plan? A means to confront Wang Yan and his people? Was he overconcerned?

But at that time, they were about to lay hands on Pretty Girl, how could he possibly not save her?

Having thought all this through in an instant, he didn\'t ask any more questions, just silently watched as Pretty Girl disappeared into the night.

She suddenly stopped, turned towards Tang San, and lifted her right hand to brush the long hair from her temple, revealing a dazzling blue light shining on the back of her right hand.

When Tang San saw that blue light, his pupils contracted sharply.

"You can call me Pretty Girl," she waved at him and then with a leap, vanished into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

Tang San stood motionless for a long time.

She, she actually...

That patch of blue, to him who possessed the Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Eye, was clearly visible. It was unmistakably a rune, a rune he was extremely familiar with. He had one too. Only, the rune on his hand was orange.

Yes, that was unmistakably the Redemption Brand!

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Redemption was divided into seven colors. Blue, already the second-highest tier in the entire Redemption Organization.

Tang San clearly remembered his mentor, the town Elder, once telling him that, in Jiali City, the highest tier within the Redemption Organization wasn\'t his own Blue Level, but rather Blue Level. There were two Blue Level members.

Tang San initially thought one of them might be the God-level strong Si Ru, but later found out that Si Ru was also of the Blue Grade. He had always been curious who the Blue Level member was.

However, he never expected that his future wife, whom he was so intent on protecting, would be one of them.

She was only in her teens! How could she be at Blue Level? When she showed me her Blue Level Redemption Brand just now, she was confirming my identity, making sure I was a person from Redemption.

Tang San chose not to reveal his own Redemption Brand because he did not want Pretty Girl to see that he was of the Orange Level, fearing that would directly expose his identity. He concealed his true self under the identity of Asura in order to more conveniently protect her in the future and to do things that Tang San couldn\'t openly do, while also masking his ability to perform multiple Demon God Transformations.

Tang San had long thought that she was also a vassal of humans and had planned to recruit her into the Redemption Organization if he had the chance. When he had rescued Pretty Girl before, he actually considered revealing his affiliation with Redemption to guide her to join. But due to Pretty Girl\'s composed demeanor, Tang San hadn\'t spoken up. Yet, he never expected that not only was she a part of Redemption, but she was also absolutely high-ranking within the organization.

Without a doubt, this was closely related to Pretty Girl\'s own Peacock Transformation and her status within the Peacock Demon Clan.

Tang San\'s mind was a bit chaotic at the moment, and it took him some time to gradually calm down. Since Pretty Girl was Blue Level, plus her attitude, there was no question that those guys like Wang Yan couldn\'t threaten her. No wonder even though his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye had sensed danger earlier on, it wasn\'t intense—was it because Pretty Girl herself could handle it?

Better return first and then see.

Just at that moment, Tang San felt a stirring in his heart, and suddenly there was someone beside him.

"Why did you impulsively choose to save her at that time?" A familiar voice sounded.

Tang San turned his head to see the town Elder teacher who had already arrived beside him, his greatest reassurance. If he indeed couldn\'t have taken Pretty Girl away at that time, there was no need to use that bit of divine consciousness, for he had always known that the Elder was secretly following him.

Since revealing his capabilities in Time Variation Seal and Heavenly Fox Transformation, there was no doubt that he held a very esteemed status in his teacher\'s heart.

A possibility suddenly struck Tang San and he turned to Zhang Haoxuan, "Teacher, you didn\'t just accompany us on this outing to protect us, but also to protect her, did you?"

"Hmm, quick reaction. You still haven\'t answered my question," said Zhang Haoxuan somewhat irritably.

Tang San smiled awkwardly and removed the mask from his face to put away, "If I say it was love at first sight, would you believe me?"

Zhang Haoxuan tilted his head to look at him, and after a silent moment, he said, "It seems that, other than this, there\'s no other reason that makes sense. You rascal, you\'re getting more mysterious in my eyes. Everything about you can only be described as monstrously talented." As he spoke, he extended his hands, and bolts with glinting cold light materialized in his palms.

"Besides those embedded in the bodies of the Peacock Demon Clan members, I\'ve retrieved all the remaining ones for you. This weapon you\'ve created combined with the Demon God Transformation, especially the Heavenly Fox Transformation, is beyond my imagination."

In fact, when Zhang Haoxuan, who had been covertly protecting them, saw Tang San injure five Eighth Stage Peacock Demons at once with the Zhuge magic crossbow, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Those were Peacock Demons! Even as a Ninth Stage, he had no confidence in facing five great Peacock Demons appearing at the same time; yet Tang San had managed it with those small bolts.

The reason the Peacock Demons didn\'t continue their pursuit was connected to the Ninth Stage aura Zhang Haoxuan had released, as well as the cowardice and panic of Pretty Girl\'s "brother" after being wounded.

"Blue Level, she\'s actually Blue Level! Why, teacher? Shouldn\'t you tell me now?" Tang San said with a bitter smile.

Zhang Haoxuan laughed, and quite heartily at that, because this was the first time since he had met Tang San that he felt him somewhat at a loss. Usually, Tang San always seemed to have everything under control, constantly managing to shock Zhang Haoxuan.
