Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

“Miss Meng Yiran, I have important matters to discuss with Senior Gaishi Longshe. I wonder if you have a secluded place where I can avoid the eyes and ears of various forces and enter your family.”

When Tang San asked her, Meng Yiran gave a negative answer.

Even if such a passage truly exists, she wouldn't reveal it until she was certain of Tang San's purpose.

Furthermore, her swaggering departure from the family was intended to attract the attention of various factions, thereby providing cover for a group of family members to secretly go out on business.

Tang San continued, "Miss Meng Yiran, starting tonight, leave a 'gate' open for me on the east side of your family's wall. If circumstances permit, I will enter your family's compound through the wall within the next five days."

"If we exceed this time limit, it means we've run into trouble. We'll meet again in the market in five days."

"My information is absolutely important; it might solve the problems facing the Dragon-Snake family. I hope you will take it seriously."

Although Meng Yiran did not see Tang San, she had no doubt that his voice was genuine.

In any case, she should give it a try as long as it can change the current situation of her family.

"These weapons of yours are really reasonably priced. How much is it in total? I'll take them all."

Tang San hadn't originally planned to sell these hidden weapons, but to make the charade seem real, he quoted a low price and practically gave them to Meng Yiran as a gift.

Unfortunately, everything he did had already been seen by the bishop of the Spirit Hall in Barak City.

Among the hidden weapons Tang San took out were the Silent Sleeve Arrow and the Sand-Spitting Shadow Arrow. With the Spirit Hall's intelligence capabilities, they naturally knew that these two hidden weapons had only appeared on a large scale in the Star Luo Empire's army, and that they were made by the Tang Sect.

At this moment, it appeared on the streets of Soto City as an unknown stall, and even a fool could see something was wrong.

Initially, the Spirit Hall bishop was somewhat skeptical of the city guards' claims, thinking they were mistaken. Now, however, it's difficult for him to be unsure of Tang San's identity.

Tang San's arrival here and his contact with Meng Yiran strongly suggest he's after the Peerless Dragon and Snake Clan.

After arranging for someone to expedite the delivery of the secret letter back to the Papal Palace, the bishop continued to personally monitor Tang San's movements.

In order not to alert the enemy and to find out Tang San's true purpose, some of the spies guarding the area near the Dragon and Snake Clan were removed under his arrangement.

……

That night, Tang San seized the opportunity and scaled the wall of the Dragon and Snake Clan.

Hearing the commotion, Meng Yiran personally came forward and took Tang San to the family's main hall.

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess had been waiting there for a long time.

Meng Yiran admitted that Tang San, after his second awakening of his martial soul, was only slightly less handsome than Wu Qi, and was her type.

Whether the two sides will have the opportunity to communicate separately in the future depends on the outcome of tonight's discussion.

After bringing the person there, Meng Yiran left on her own.

Upon seeing Tang San now, Meng Shu was surprised: "Tang San, I didn't expect that after so many years, I could no longer sense your cultivation level. May I ask what your strength is now, and what brings you to my Dragon-Snake Clan?"

Tang San smiled calmly, opened his arms, and first revealed his Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer spirit rings to verify his identity. Then, eight spirit rings of yellow, purple, black, and black appeared on his Blue Silver Grass spirit.

The eighth spirit ring shone with a blood-red light, clearly approaching the 100,000-year level. In the original timeline, Tang San's ability to absorb a 100,000-year divinely bestowed spirit ring at the seventh spirit ring position was inseparable from Xiao Wu's sacrifice and the body tempering with both ice and fire immortal herbs.

He doesn't have any of these opportunities now. Although his seventh spirit ring was also absorbed beyond its age limit, it was only at the 40,000-year level. His eighth spirit ring was obtained during the Sea God's Trial - Tide Body Tempering, which improved his physical strength and allowed him to barely absorb a spirit ring from a 90,000-year-old demonic tiger whale pod.

Furthermore, because he no longer had the God of Slaughter's Domain and the poison within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he did not kill the 100,000-year-old Demon Orca King. He merely repelled it, helping the Demon Soul Great White Shark Group to reclaim its territory.

A slow start leads to a slow finish, a pattern perfectly exemplified in his actions. Unfortunately, Tang San himself remained completely oblivious.

"It's Contra!" The Dragon King and Snake Queen were utterly astonished.

Soul rings might be faked, but soul power aura cannot. Meng Shu was a Soul Douluo powerhouse, so he could naturally determine Tang San's strength.

It has only been nine years since the end of the Soul Master Competition, and Tang San has already broken through to the Soul Douluo level.

It should be noted that after breaking through level 50 in soul power, the rate of improvement should only slow down. However, Tang San was not affected at all; instead, his improvement was faster and faster.

With such terrifying talent, Tang San might be able to advance to the Title Douluo level within ten years, no, five years.

Knowing Tang San's strength, Meng Shu already had a plan in mind for the upcoming negotiations.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Tang San put away his martial spirit and respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "Seniors Dragon Lord and Snake Lady, to be honest, I came here today to win over your family."

“During the day, I learned about your family’s situation from Meng Yiran. If you can leave the Kingdom of Barak and join my Tang Clan, I can guarantee that no one will dare to monitor your family’s movements again.”

From the moment Tang San revealed his strength, Meng Shu guessed his origins.

However, before answering the question, he chuckled and asked, half-jokingly, "I'll get back to you about that later."

"Tang San, what do you think of Yi Ran? So many years have passed, and you have grown from a naive young man into such a handsome young man. Yi Ran has also grown from a little girl into a beautiful young woman."

"How about I play matchmaker for you two?"

Meng Yiran is the most important asset in the Dragon and Snake family's portfolio. She cannot easily marry before finding a suitable marriage partner. Furthermore, she is not allowed to have personal opinions; everything she does must serve the family.

Tang San only had Xiao Wu in his heart and had no feelings for Meng Yiran, but he also knew that if he wanted to win over the Dragon Snake Clan, he couldn't avoid this topic.

After thinking it over, Tang San decided to use the experience he had learned from Tai Long.

"Seniors Dragon Lord and Snake Lady, Meng Yiran and I didn't have much contact during the Soul Master Competition. Now it's been almost ten years since we last met. It wouldn't be appropriate to arrange a marriage like this. Perhaps we could wait until we've gotten to know each other for a while before asking Meng Yiran what she thinks?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "Old man, Tang San always thinks of Yi Ran in everything. He's a good boy who knows how to care for people. If Yi Ran marries him in the future, she'll definitely live a good life."

Meng Shu smiled and agreed.

Seeing that Tang San showed no resistance, he knew there was an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Even if Tang San pretends to be aloof, as long as Meng Yiran spends a lot of time with Tang San without Xiao Wu by her side, there's no doubt that things will turn out alright.

Once Meng Yiran becomes pregnant with Tang San's child, everything will be settled. (End of Chapter)
