Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1530

"Hmm?" Just as the burly man was walking away, he suddenly stopped in his tracks before pressing his right hand into the air. Yuanen Yehui was standing right beside him, so she could clearly sense that this casual motion from the burly man was making the entire space collapse, and a thought immediately occurred to her as she hurriedly said, "Don't! He's not an enemy!"

A muffled groan rang out as a figure was squeezed out of thin air, and he stumbled slightly before steadying himself. It was none other than Xie Xie in disguise.

Yuanen Yehui was competing on this day, so Xie Xie was naturally in attendance as well. Just as he was about to approach Yuanen Yehui, he caught sight of the burly man making his way over to her, and he even had the audacity to pat Yuanen Yehui on the shoulder! Even as her boyfriend, he hadn't been permitted to touch her in such a casual manner! All he had done was unintentionally see her fully nude in the past...

"You're an interesting little guy as well, but you've gone down the wrong path," the burly man said with a wistful shake of his head.

"Calm down! He knows Wulin," Yuanen Yehui said as she grabbed onto the indignant Xie Xie.

Xie Xie's expression eased slightly upon hearing this, but he still grumbled in a low voice, "He touched you just now!"

"I couldn't stop him," Yuanen Yehui replied with a hint of frustration in her eyes.

Xie Xie's heart jolted slightly upon hearing this. He was more aware than anyone of just how powerful Yuanen Yehui was; even though she was only a Soul Douluo, she could definitely contend with the average Titled Douluo.

The fact that she was unable to brush the man aside indicated that he had to at least be a Hyper Douluo, and quite a powerful one at that.

They didn't possess Spirit Domain realm spiritual power as Tang Wulin did, so they were unable to ascertain the man's precise level of power, but they were able to make basic deductions.

"I'm Yuanen's senior; why can't I touch her?" the burly man said as he cast an unfriendly gaze toward Xie Xie, "I should be telling you to get away from my Yuanen!"

Xie Xie's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and his indignation became even more pronounced.

For some reason, Yuanen Yehui was struck by the urge to laugh at the sight of his expression.

"I don't recall a senior like you," she said with a perplexed look in her eyes.

The burly man replied, "All that matters is that you know about me now. I'm very pleased with you, lass; it truly makes me happy to have a descendant like you."

Just as Yuanen Yehui was struggling to make sense of the situation, Tang Wulin's voice rang out beside her ears. "He's telling the truth. Let's discuss this further once we get back."

Yuanen Yehui's heart was completely eased upon hearing Tang Wulin's voice, and they followed the burly man out of the sports stadium.

A soul car was already waiting for them there, and the car was fitted with one-way glass, so it was impossible to peer into it from the outside.

The interior of the car was very spacious with two rows of luxurious seats facing one another, and a small table in between them.

Tang Wulin was sitting on one of the seats, and as soon as the door was opened, he waved a hand toward Yuanen Yehui's trio.

The three of them got into the car, and as the burly man sat down onto the comfortable seat, he couldn't help but remark, "You humans sure know how to pamper yourselves!"

Tang Wulin said in a slightly resigned manner, "Humans are devoid of redeeming features. At the very least, our creative ability is peerless among all races."

Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie were still completely in the dark at this point, and Xie Xie couldn't help but ask, "Who is this, Boss? When did Yuanen get a senior like this? It seems like there's a new senior of Yuanen's popping up every day recently."

After learning about Yuanen Yehui's past, Xie Xie was very sympathetic toward her and wanted nothing more than to share her burden.

Tang Wulin replied, "This is indeed a senior of Yuanen's, and I encountered him by accident. I'll tell you two about him as we get back, and you can decide whether you want to let anyone else know."

Yuanen Yehui faltered slightly upon hearing this, then turned to Xie Xie, who splayed his hands open, and said, "I have no issues; he's your senior, after all. If you don't want me to know, then I can go somewhere else."

Not only was the car very luxurious, it offered great privacy, and there was a board separating the passengers from the driver, so they didn't have to worry about the driver overhearing their conversation.

"Go ahead, Captain; there's no need to exclude anyone here from the conversation," Yuanen Yehui said without any hesitation.

A surge of warmth immediately flowed through Xie Xie's heart upon hearing this, and even his cheeks had become slightly flushed.

Having been with Yuanen Yehui for so long, he was naturally very familiar with her personality. She was not an expressive person, especially when it came to emotions, so for her to say something like this was very heartwarming for him.

Tang Wulin nodded, and said, "Senior Zhentian told us that your family descended from a Titan Giant Ape, but he didn't elaborate on the matter; I'm sure you remember, right?"

Yuanen Yehui nodded in response.

Tang Wulin continued, "The Titan Giant Ape is a type of ancient divine beast that has a lot of trouble reproducing even among its own race, and there's no way a human can possess such a martial soul. Hence, your family had to have descended from a human and a Titan Giant Ape in human form."

Yuanen Yehui's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "Are you saying I'm not a pure human?"

Tang Wulin hurriedly shook his head in response. "No, of course not; I'm just giving you some background information. Human and soul beast relationships aren't unheard of; for example, Tang San's wife, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu, was a soul beast in human form, after all."

Yuanen Yehui's expression eased slightly upon hearing this, but the burly man sitting beside Tang Wulin was rather displeased. "What's wrong with being a soul beast?"

Yuanen Yehui still couldn't understand what Tang Wulin was trying to say. Could it be that this burly man had something to do with the heritage of the Titan Giant Ape?

Tang Wulin continued, "The truth is that your family was indeed descended from a Titan Giant Ape in human form, and your surname, Yuanen, stems from the phrase 'primordial blessing'."

Yuanen Yehui nodded in response. "Captain, what exactly are you trying to..."

Tang Wulin revealed, "This is your ancestor."

He knew that this would come as quite a bombshell to Yuanen Yehui, but he still decided to disclose the truth to her outright.

Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie were both stunned into silence upon hearing this, and it made sense, considering how farcical the situation was. After all, anyone would find it quite strange for an ancestor of theirs to suddenly pop up in the flesh.

Xie Xie asked, "You're not making a joke, are you, Boss?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Who would joke about something like this? I'm telling the truth. You two have entered the Myriad Beast Plane as well; do you still remember everything you encountered in there?"

Both of them nodded in response.

Tang Wulin continued, "That was where I met Uncle Er Ming. As you both know, Tang San was assisted by two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the past, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Senior Er Ming is that very same Titan Giant Ape, and he is the earliest ancestor of the Yuanen Family."

Er Ming nodded along with Tang Wulin's explanation in support while Yuanen Yehui looked back and forth between Tang Wulin and Er Ming with a blank stare, feeling as if she were in a dream.

This was the true Titan Giant Ape and he was her ancestor?

"I, I'm not sure what to make of this," Xie Xie stuttered.

Tang Wulin didn't speak any further. He had laid out all the information; it was up to Yuanen Yehui to process it now.

A wry smile appeared on Er Ming's face. "It's alright, I didn't expect to be embraced with open arms anyway. After all, I'm an irresponsible ancestor. If I hadn't met Wulin, I wouldn't even have known that I had descendants. I'm already extremely happy to know that all of you exist, so there's no need for you to acknowledge me; I'm very satisfied just to see you and sense my bloodline in your body." 

He had already sensed his own bloodline in Yuanen Yehui's body from the moment that he first saw her.

Bloodlines didn't necessarily become more diluted through the generations as there was martial soul heritage as well. As long as a martial soul was passed down, the bloodline will also continue to be passed down. As such, even though Yuanen Yehui's bloodline wasn't very pure, he was certain that she was his descendant.
