Chapter 10: Tang Hao's face turned green!
"I..."
"You brat, how dare you talk like that?"
Tang Hao was almost speechless, feeling like he was back in the days when his father taught him a lesson.
Luckily, he realized he was the father now, and almost knelt down to admit his mistake.
"Tell me the truth, if you think you're okay, you can beat me up!"
"Of course I have to go to my mother's grave, with a whip or a hammer, it doesn't matter!"
Tang Chen looked indifferent, with Douluo's limited vocabulary, how dare he argue with him.
"Damn it... I'm not going next time."
Tang Hao chickened out again, feeling like Ah Yin would jump out from behind him at any moment and slap his face hard with Blue Silver Grass Vine.
To be honest, this feeling was quite good, it felt like Ah Yin was still alive.
"Don't tell me about this, the amount of money doesn't seem to match up, right?"
Tang Chen was just looking for an excuse to get rid of the oppression of his status, who cared whether Tang Hao was really looking for a dancer.
Right now, the most important thing was money, five gold soul coins were enough for school, but that was all.
"What's wrong? I didn't spend a single gold coin on drinking, it's all here!"
"No, no, no, the fur is worth this much, but what about the more valuable soul beasts?"
"Don't even mention you roasted them and ate them!"
Tang Chen's sharp eyes made Tang Hao's scalp tingle, and he quickly said,
"That amount is too much, not suitable for a child to keep. I'll keep it for you first."
"What? Why should I take my money? Consider it money you sold, and I'll give you a running fee."
Tang Chen wouldn't stand for it. How can you live a carefree life without money?
"Well... you should understand the principle of 'possessing a treasure invites trouble,' right?"
"I really can't give you this much money. Let's talk about it when you're older!" Tang Hao said unmoved.
"Holy crap."
Tang Chen found this very familiar. How come there are tricks to swindle New Year's money in this other world?
"That's going too far. You'll squander it all in a few months."
"Besides, how much money could there be? Is your vision that limited?"
"Stop spouting nonsense. Here's 500,000 gold soul coins, dare to take it?"
"Pour me some wine."
Tang Hao was getting a little smug again. At home, his Title Douluo strength was useless.
Earning money through skill was the only way to gain status; this was the reality after going into seclusion.
"What the hell, 500,000 gold soul coins?"
Tang Chen was a little dumbfounded. Everyone said that soul masters could make a lot of money, but this was too much, wasn't it?
Thousand-year-old soul beasts weren't strong; any team could hunt them down, and that would make someone a multi-millionaire?
"Ahem~ I found a soul bone inside that Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent!"
"No one in Notting City could afford it, so I sold it to the city lord at a discount.
"It took me two days to raise enough money!"
Tang Hao said casually, as if it were a very simple matter.
But Tang Chen didn't think so. As an ordinary blacksmith selling soul bones, the only one with any integrity would be the Spirit Hall.
And Tang Hao would never do business with the Spirit Hall; selling to the city lord would definitely result in being ripped off.
He guessed the Notting City lord would be in a bad situation; how could he honestly pay up without getting beaten up?
"So, you really won't give it to me?"
Tang Chen calmed his breathing. If he didn't give it to him, he wouldn't hesitate to use his ultimate move.
"Go cool off somewhere else. I think today is the day of Martial Soul Awakening, right?"
Tang Hao decisively changed the subject, not wanting the kid to be blinded by money.
Otherwise, let alone 500,000, he wouldn't even blink at 50 million.
Could the Clear Sky Sect be poor?
"Damn it, I don't care if he awakens or not, just don't regret it!"
Tang Chen said fiercely, turning and walking towards the door.
"Hey, I want to see how you'll make me regret it!"
Tang Hao stroked his beard and got up to follow.
"Brother, where are you going?" Tang San had just returned with the wine and asked the two of them strangely.
"Give me the wine!"
"Your brother said he'd make me regret it!"
Tang Hao snatched the bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls, feeling dizzy.
"Little San, you've come at the right time! Come with me!"
Tang Chen didn't explain, grabbing Tang San and running towards the place where they had their last duel.
As they approached the fields behind the mountain, Tang Hao had a bad feeling and quickly called out,
"You brat, stop messing around. How about I give you some?"
"No, what's mine is mine, not a penny less!"
Tang Chen remained unmoved, even using his Instantaneous Movement Technique to quickly disappear into the forest.
"Where are they?"
Tang Hao hadn't been paying attention, and the two little guys had vanished without a trace. He quickly activated his soul power to search for them.
But after sensing their location, his face almost twisted with anger. He quickly gave chase, but it was too late.
"Mother, we're living such a miserable life!"
"That heartless man has no love for his son, look how he's starved San'er to the bone."
"I had to go hunting when I was seven, and after finally earning some money, he just squanders it all on debauchery."
"Mother, what are we going to do? He's definitely got his eye on the big flower from the next village!"
"He wants to take our money and find us a stepmother!"
"It's so hard, Mother, San'er and I will come down and keep you company!"
Tang Chen's wailing voice was chilling.
He even forced Tang San to kowtow after shouting a few words, treating him like a mere tool.
Tang Hao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Especially since the first part was true, it was truly shameful to say.
But what was with the latter part? Who would like that fat woman from the next village?
And the direction Tang San was kowtowing towards was actually next to the waterfall on the cliff.
This made his heart clench, and he rushed over and shouted.
"Shut up, you brat!" "You just want money? Here, take it all!"
Tang Hao's face turned pale with anger, and he quickly took out his Soul Gold Card and threw it over.
This time he really regretted it. Why didn't he just give it to him directly?
If Ah Yin heard this, would he still have the face to live?
He had truly experienced this kid's shamelessness this time.
"You could have given it to me earlier. Oh, and you even threw in a token. Thanks, Dad!"
Tang Chen flipped his wrist and directly put the item into his spatial storage.
"I..."
Tang Hao felt like dying. In his haste, he had thrown over the Spirit Hall token as well.
But what was even more infuriating was that he didn't dare to ask for it back.
"Brother, what is this thing that made Father so angry?"
Tang San's head was buzzing, and he still hadn't figured it out.
"Silly boy, 500,000 Soul Gold Coins. This is our future wife fund!"
"Let's go back quickly. The Spirit Awakening is about to begin!"
Tang Chen pulled the dazed Tang San away from here quickly, so that he wouldn't regret it later.
Tang Hao, left alone, stood before the grave for a long, long time before turning and walking towards the cliffside waterfall.
Just as Tang Chen had expected, the old village chief was already waiting when they returned, his face showing anxiety.
"Where did you go? Why are you only coming back now? Didn't Tang Hao see you off?"
The old village chief immediately bombarded them with three questions, urging them to hurry up.
"Grandpa Jack, don't blame my dad, he went to sweep my mother's grave!"
Tang San's words were tactful, calming the old man down.
"Sigh~ Never mind, I'll take you!" Sure enough, Jack sighed and led the two towards the back of the village.
"Let me tell you, many years ago, a Soul Saint emerged from our Holy Soul Village!"
"That's why the village is named that, and every year there's one work-study student spot!"
"Other villages share one spot, the competition is fierce."
"Grandpa has high hopes for you, you will surely bring glory to Holy Soul Village in the future."
Amidst the old village chief's nagging, the three finally arrived at the "Village-Level Branch Hall of the Spirit Hall!"
