NOVEL NEXT Chapter 346: The Hidden Meaning of the Slaughter King
"Little San, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good, for your future. This Xiao Wu (the male one), who is dragging you into degeneracy and cannot provide you with positive feedback, must die."
Looking at Xiao Wu, who was now within arm's reach, Tang Hao muttered with a ferocious expression.
However, just as Tang Hao was about to summon his spirit and crush Xiao Wu into a pulp with his hammer, he heard a soft chuckle from behind.
"Haha, Fierce Hammer Asura, it seems you're quite angry! Otherwise, you wouldn't risk violating the prohibition I set for you, even at the risk of being killed by me!"
Hearing this voice, which carried a hint of anger, Tang Hao's rapidly advancing figure immediately came to a halt. He turned around with a complex expression to look in the direction of the voice.
Soon, he saw the Slaughter King, who had spread a pair of blood-red wings and was now smiling at him.
" Slaughter King..."
Seeing the Slaughter King smiling at him like this, Tang Hao's face immediately showed anger.
The Slaughter King, however, completely ignored Tang Hao's angry expression.
With a complex look, he glanced at Xiao Wu, who was tidying up the bed below, and spoke in a somewhat complicated tone.
"Fierce Hammer Asura, do you understand that your current actions are an attempt to break the agreement we made a year ago?! You should know what happens to those who dare to break their agreements with me in the City of Slaughter.
Besides, I see that your son is quite comfortable here. As a father, you shouldn't interfere so much in your son's entire life. Aren't you afraid that he'll eventually discover what you've done and hate you for it?"
The Slaughter King gave Tang Hao a meaningful look.
Clearly, he also looked down on Tang San's actions.
Hearing the Slaughter King's teasing, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, Slaughter King, that's my son! I can't just watch him degenerate like this! I'd rather he hate me for the rest of his life than see him continue to degenerate!"
"Fierce Hammer Asura, this is the City of Slaughter. You've spent two years here before. You should know better than anyone that degeneracy is the norm here.
Not everyone can suppress degenerate thoughts and obtain the Asura Domain. Perhaps your son simply doesn't have the qualifications to become an Asura! You may be an Asura, but your son may never become one!"
The Slaughter King spoke casually.
Hearing the Slaughter King's merciless words, which tore open old wounds, Tang Hao's expression instantly turned dark and grim.
He opened his mouth to refute, but he had no grounds to do so.
After all, the facts were right in front of him, leaving no room for refutation!
"But Slaughter King, he's my son, my only son! I can't just give up on him!!"
Tang Hao said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, a hint of pity flashed in the Slaughter King's eyes, and he spoke in a complex tone.
"Similar, so similar. Sigh, forget it. Fierce Hammer Asura, I'll warn you one last time. Whatever your son becomes in the City of Slaughter is his own choice. You cannot interfere to change it.
But as for the fate of others, I won't bother to control so much. Although I am the Slaughter King, you are still an Asura. The restrictions I can place on you are limited. But this is the only time. If there's a next time, I won't show you any mercy!"
With that, the Slaughter King turned into a blood-red shadow and disappeared.
Hearing the Slaughter King's words, Tang Hao's expression became extremely strange.
Because he sensed a hidden meaning in the Slaughter King's words.
From Tang Hao's understanding, the Slaughter King was implying that Tang Hao couldn't casually change his son's fate, but as for the lives of others, the Slaughter King wouldn't interfere too much, given Tang Hao's status as an Asura.
In other words, if Tang Hao were to kill Xiao Wu, would the Slaughter King also turn a blind eye?
At this moment, although Tang Hao vaguely guessed the Slaughter King's intentions, he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he was afraid that his interpretation of the Slaughter King's words might be wrong.
If he misunderstood, wouldn't everything be ruined?!
However, on second thought, judging from the tone of the Slaughter King's words, it seemed that the Slaughter King had once faced a similar dilemma.
Could it be that the Slaughter King's descendant was also like Tang San?!
In love with someone they shouldn't be?
For a moment, unable to fully grasp the Slaughter King's intentions, Tang Hao found himself in a difficult position, unsure of how to proceed.
But after careful consideration, Tang Hao finally gritted his teeth and muttered, "Hmph, the Slaughter King wouldn't have said those words to me for no reason. He must agree with my actions. After all, I am an Asura of the City of Slaughter. The Slaughter King definitely doesn't want to see me cause a scene here. Yes, that must be it."
Finally, Tang Hao made his decision.
"Xiao Wu, I'm back!!"
Just as Tang Hao made his decision, Tang San returned. Hearing the voice, Tang Hao immediately hid himself.
Seeing the two of them together, Tang Hao, though resolved, couldn't act now with Tang San present. He would have to wait until Tang San went to the Hell Killing Arena before taking Xiao Wu away and pretending that Xiao Wu had left.
The later Tang San found out about Xiao Wu's death, the better it would be for his future development!
And so, Tang Hao began to wait aimlessly for the day when Tang San would go to the Hell Killing Arena, leaving Xiao Wu alone.
Meanwhile, inside the Slaughter Castle, the Slaughter King watched Tang San and Tang Hao with a cold smile.
"Hurry up, hurry up! You two, get this show on the road! I, the Slaughter King, have personally stepped in to play a supporting role in this grand performance with Xiao Wu. You two, father and son, better put on a good show for me!!"
"..."
While Tang Hao was still waiting for the day Tang San would leave, over in the Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo was leisurely sunbathing by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Ever since he consumed the second immortal herb some time ago and his spirit power broke through to the 97th level, Dugu Bo had completely relaxed.
He no longer wanted to get involved in any messy affairs.
During this time, he had even rarely seen Prince Snow Star.
He mostly spent his time shuttling between the Blue Tyrant Academy, the Sunset Forest, and his own residence.
After all, his granddaughter had not only resolved the poison that had plagued him for most of his life but had also found someone she could rely on for the rest of her life!
Life at the Blue Tyrant Academy was peaceful.
Being a small teacher was also quite fulfilling.
As for his grandson-in-law, he had connections with both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as well as ties to the Spirit Hall.
To put it bluntly, if his grandson-in-law raised his voice a few times, the entire continent would tremble.
