Chapter 431: Asura's Jealousy of Tang San

"Go ahead."

"I have a friend who used to work as a janitor at Kali Academy. You know Mayor Zhang, right? He's the mayor’s pupil, and his name is Tang San. If it's not too much of a problem, could you help me find him? I looked for him, but he wasn’t here and nobody knows anything about him. Tell him to wait for me at the academy if you see him. I should be out of seclusion for good within three months."

You want me to find myself? Well, that’s one hell of a pursuit if I’ve ever tried any.

Asura couldn't help but find it amusing, but he just nodded and smiled. "What is he to you? Just a friend?"

Mei Gongzi was taken aback momentarily, then nodded back. "Yes, just a friend."

"And what about me? Can I be considered your friend now?" Asura pressed.

"Yes." Mei Gongzi quickly nodded, then looked up at the sky. "It's really getting late. I should go. Thank you."

As he watched her graceful figure gradually disappear from sight, Asura chuckled helplessly. For a moment, he suddenly felt as if Asura was a bit jealous of Tang San.

Tang San hadn't done anything special for her, while Asura had put in literal mountains of effort. Yet, it seemed there was less of a barrier between her and Tang San than between her and Asura.

In the future, when she finds out that Tang San is Asura and Asura is Tang San, who will be more embarrassed, she or I?

Little Mei, hurry up and grow up. When you turn eighteen, I will truly start pursuing you.

Seeing her today, seeing her become even more beautiful, seeing her grow more and more like her past self, Tang San felt full of gratitude—grateful that he could find this plane and grateful that he could find her like that.

Although they still had many trials to go through if they wanted to walk together again and return to their peak, he was confident. He would bring her back to her family. She was his wife, in every life they lived.

Mei Gongzi left, and Tang San also needed to leave. He had many things to do. If it weren't for Mei Gongzi, he wouldn't have returned today; many tasks were still awaiting him at the Ancestral Court.

However, this return also allowed him to handle some other matters.

Tang San could be said to have saved their entire clan; the title of "benefactor" simply didn’t cover it.

"No need to be so formal. Where's Big Cat?" Tang San asked.

A young Lion-Tiger laughed. "He should be with his wife. We can call him for you."

Tang San quickly stopped them. "No need, it's late. I'll meet him tomorrow. You all should rest."

"Yes, we are on night watch. You go rest," the young Lion-Tiger said with a smile.

It was hard to find such a suitable habitat. Although the illusion array made it very safe, the elders of the Lion-Tiger clan still arranged for the young members to keep watch every night.

Tang San nodded with a smile and brought Red One to the Golden Tree. "Red One, you should rest too. I have something to discuss with you tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Red One smiled and bowed to Tang San before stepping lightly on the waves and returning to the cave to rest.

Nourished by the aura of life in the Golden Valley, Red One had reached the sixth order, and her cultivation was the highest among all the Crimson Fox girls. However, at this level, her relatively weak bloodline showed its limitations, making it difficult for her to advance on her own. The other Crimson Fox girls were even worse off than her.

Tang San came to the Golden Tree and entered the Spirit Summoning Array. Not only was the life aura rich here, but the elemental energy of heaven and earth was also extremely dense.

Looking up at the increasingly tall Golden Tree, Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart. He had planted and nurtured this tree with his hands, and it had slowly growin into what it was now.

Sitting cross-legged under the Golden Tree, Tang San didn't immediately start meditating or cultivating. Instead, he took something out of his storage ring.

It was a crystal bottle. As soon as it appeared, the calm yellow light inside began to thrash around, trying to break out of the sealed bottle.

This was the spirit essence Tang San had bought at the Ancestral Court's grand auction, a spirit essence from the Solstice Empire.

According to the auctioneer's introduction, absorbing the spirit essence could directly enhance divine consciousness. But would Tang San directly absorb this spirit essence? The answer was, of course, no. He was not that much of an idiot. Even setting aside the possible backlash, directly absorbing the spirit essence was extremely wasteful.

As the spirit essence was a condensed form of divine consciousness, it was inherently sentient. Those at the Ancestral Court believed it could only be suppressed and used as direct nourishment because the sentient spirit essence would seek to possess someone, hoping for a chance at rebirth.
