Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

She suddenly lifted her head, almost blurting out, "Brother!"

However, when she saw the somewhat familiar yet somewhat strange face, the hope that had abruptly surged within her instantly crumbled.

It was a tall and broad-shouldered young man with long sea-blue hair that was smoothly combed, emitting a faint blue luminescence under the setting sun.

He was very handsome, with a gentle smile on his face, and was holding a broom, smiling at her.

"There's no need to clean here anymore," Pretty Girl's expression turned cold in an instant as she said indifferently.

"I'd still like to sweep a bit," the young man continued to say with a smile.

"I said, there's no need to sweep," the harsh Killing Intent almost uncontrollably surged forth in an instant, and it was only in the moment when the Killing Intent was released that Pretty Girl suddenly woke up. If he was just an ordinary staff member, how could he withstand the assault of her Killing Intent?

As she hurriedly withdrew her Killing Intent, she heard that gentle voice, unaffected, saying, "Pretty sister, don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing the term "pretty sister," Pretty Girl was taken aback and looked at him again. Her Killing Intent had already receded, but he was still the same as before, the setting sun seemed to outline a golden edge around him.

The young man raised his other hand, and a milk tea cup appeared in his palm, held out in front of Pretty Girl.

Seeing this milk tea cup, Pretty Girl's petite body shook, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You are...?"

His appearance did seem familiar, but the change in stature was too significant, his looks had also changed somewhat, and even the color of his hair had shifted.

"Yes! I am Tang San, Pretty Sister," Tang San said with a beaming smile, revealing eight bright teeth.

When Pretty Girl came here to summon Asura, it was precisely the moment that he was in the midst of a critical juncture in his Cultivation. In order to make it here sooner, he quickly completed his Cultivation and rushed over at top speed.

Asura was already dead, even the blood oath was gone. And his appearance, including his hair color, had changed. Even if he were to claim he was Asura now, she might not believe him.

Moreover, the identity of Asura had already been retired at the Ancestral Court, it was not meant to exist anymore.

So, Asura was gone, and Tang San had returned!

"Tang San, are you really Tang San?" Pretty Girl looked at him with a face full of surprise, as the familiar sense of closeness gradually returned to her. Looking at his blue hair, it seemed to add even more to the sense of intimacy. For a moment, she felt overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, and even had the urge to rush into his arms and weep, expressing the sorrow in her heart.

"Hmm, it's me! Pretty Sister, I heard you were looking for me before. I'm sorry! I was called by the academy to go into seclusion for Cultivation, and I was in seclusion until I finished. When I came out, I came here to wait for you. I finally managed to meet you. What's wrong?" Tang San asked with a smile.

Looking at her sad expression, his heart actually ached, ached a lot. However, it was indeed not appropriate for Asura to appear, and now was not the right time to explain his identity as Asura.

Pretty Girl's eyes became dull again, "I am waiting here for a friend."

"Oh," Tang San did not inquire further about who it was, he of course knew whom she was waiting for.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Two and a half days, and half a day more to go," Pretty Girl replied.

"Are you hungry? I'll go and buy you something to eat," Tang San said quickly.

Pretty Girl looked at the milk tea cup in his hand, shook her head gently, and said, "No need, thank you. How did your hair change color? Was there a problem with your Cultivation?"

Tang San replied, "There seems to have been some mutation in my bloodline, hence the change. It's a good mutation, don't worry."

Looking at his sunny smile, for some reason, Pretty Girl felt a part of the cold in her heart melt away.

"Then you can go ahead with your tasks," Pretty Girl said, nodding to him.

"Okay," Tang San said and turned to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Pretty Girl couldn't help but feel an odd sensation. For some reason, after seeing him, the sorrow in her heart had mysteriously dissipated somewhat, and even the hope that was turning into despair in her heart had risen a lot.

Just as she was feeling a bit downhearted, someone who had left only a few meters away came back.

"Are you okay?" Tang San asked Pretty Girl, who had a somewhat pale face.

Pretty Girl glanced at him and said, "Not very good." Her attitude towards him was clearly a bit cold. He had disappeared for so long, claiming to be in seclusion, yet she had asked Zhang Haoxuan and still there was no news of him. What kind of seclusion was it?

"I'll stay here and wait with you," Tang San said.

"No need, you go about your business. I'll just wait here alone," Pretty Girl shook her head at him.

Feeling her cold attitude towards him, Tang San couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears in his heart. With the heart of a First-Generation God King, he actually felt a bit wronged at this moment. Although he knew it was because of his identity issue and could not blame Pretty Girl, the feeling in his heart was very strange nonetheless.

After Pretty Girl told him to leave, she closed her eyes again, standing there silently, waiting.

Seeing her like this, Tang San felt a little distressed, and even wanted to reveal to her that he was actually Asura and had always been there.

But if he told the truth, it would be even harder to explain. The hardest part to explain was why, with his real age, he could have Asura's strong strength and experience — where all that battle experience, the Asura God's Sword, and Divine Technique Heavenly Mystery came from. If he told her that he was actually her husband from a previous life, he didn't know whether Pretty Girl would beat him up on the spot. Her mood towards him was already clearly not good.

Thus, at this moment, Tang San also felt somewhat at a loss on how to proceed, finding it even more difficult than facing the pursuit of an Emperor.

So all he could do was choose to stand there in silence, just watching her. As long as he was by her side, he felt at peace in his heart.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when Pretty Girl opened her eyes again, she was startled to find that Tang San was standing there, and had been watching her the whole time. When she opened her eyes, he even smiled at her.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Pretty Girl frowned.

"It's fine, I don't have anything special to do today, so I'll just stand here with you."

Pretty Girl said irritably, "Can you be so lazy with your sweeping job?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The campus is already cleaned up, it's okay," Tang San said.

Pretty Girl gave him a glance but said nothing more. If he wanted to stand there, then let him stand. Although she was verbally chasing him away, in truth, ever since he had come, she didn't know why, but the sorrow in her heart had lessened slightly, perhaps because of the companionship.

Time ticked by second by second, and the sky gradually darkened. The three days were about to be up.

Anxiety was starting to show on Pretty Girl's face and couldn't be hidden; her eyes also began to redden gradually.

Tang San had been watching her all along, so he saw every minute change in her vividly. Seeing this, his heart ached and he felt somewhat frantic.

What to do? What should he do? Should he tell her the truth? Could she accept it?

The sky darkened a bit more, and there was only a tiny bit of time left in the three days. Pretty Girl's body shook slightly, and under the night wind, there was a hint of bleakness.

Her pretty face became paler, her red lips tightly pressed together, continuously and gently tapping the communicator Asura had left her.

Tears trembled in her eyes, seemingly on the verge of spilling over at any moment.

Tang San took a deep breath, and all reason was tossed aside in an instant. He took two steps forward, coming in front of Pretty Girl, then raised his hands and grabbed her shoulders.

Caught in immense sorrow, Pretty Girl was stunned to be suddenly grabbed by the shoulders, and her sorrow turned to anger, "What are you doing?" She raised her hand and slapped towards Tang San's chest.

With a "thump," Pretty Girl was shocked to find that her slap had no effect on Tang San, who stood unmoved.

Even though she hadn't used much strength, she was, after all, at the peak of the Ninth Stage! She was the double champion of the Ancestral Court elite competition.

"Little Beauty, don't be hasty. Listen to me," Tang San's voice changed, now bearing the sound of Asura God.
