Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 55 Who planted my mother in the cave?!

"Don't be too sad, even though your mother is gone."

"But because of her special status as the Blue Silver Emperor, she left behind a Seed of Life."

"In other words, given a suitable environment, your mother could still be resurrected."

Seeing Tang San crying so heartbrokenly, Lin Feng quickly helped him up from the ground and told him some good news. Sure enough, after hearing his teacher's words, Tang San's despairing eyes immediately lit up, and he excitedly said to Lin Feng, "Teacher, are you saying that my mother still has a chance to be resurrected!?"

He knew his mother wouldn't die so easily. There was indeed a possibility of her being resurrected. The Seed of Life—it must have been the last thing his mother left behind before she passed away. Judging from his teacher's words, this thing capable of resurrecting his mother was likely in his father's hands. He wondered where his father would place the Seed of Life, but it was, after all, the last seed his mother left behind. His father would surely cherish it and plant it in a place perfectly suited for plant growth. According to Tang San's conjecture, Blue Silver Grass was a plant-type soul beast, requiring sunlight and fresh air. Therefore, his father would likely plant it on a patch of Blue Silver Grass completely bathed in sunlight. The place his mother had dreamt of him in his memory was a meadow filled with Blue Silver Grass and sunlight. "Tang San's mother can be resurrected!?"

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly, thinking that her mother might also have a chance to be resurrected. However, her gaze quickly dimmed. Her mother hadn't left anything behind when she passed away, let alone any Seed of Life. "Looks like being a plant-type soul beast is still the best!"

This was the first time Di Rui'er had heard of a soul beast being able to revive after death. She was increasingly eager to meet Tang San's mother to see if she was like the silly rabbit before her, almost completely fooled by Tang San. "Teacher, please tell me where my mother planted the Seed of Life. I want to see my mother!"

At this moment, Tang San's eyes were completely filled with hope. Lin Feng, seeing Tang San's expectant look, almost couldn't bear to take him to the cave behind Holy Soul Village. Tang San's eyes were filled with such hope that he probably thought Tang Hao had planted Ah Yin in a sunny place. But the reality was far from what he imagined. How could he have imagined Tang Hao's outrageous actions towards Ah Yin? Digging a cave behind Holy Soul Village, throwing Ah Yin in, and then abandoning her—such an astonishing act was something no ordinary person could conceive of. (The last sentence is a separate, unrelated thought.) Ostensibly to protect Ah Yin, the real reason was to save trouble. After all, if Ah Yin were planted in a sunny place, it would require him to waste his time drinking and sleeping in to care for and look after her. Planting Ah Yin in a cave was different; that place was high up and protected by a waterfall, so there would definitely be no soul beasts or humans to disturb her. In this way, Tang Hao could have plenty of time to sleep in and drink. Thinking of this, Lin Feng sighed, as if feeling sorry for Ah Yin, "Little San, your mother's current environment isn't very good. You should be prepared."

Upon hearing the teacher say those words, Tang San's previously expectant heart skipped a beat. Could it be?

The father must know the common sense that plants need sunlight and fresh air, so why did the teacher say that the mother's growing environment was not very good?

Compared to his father who had ignored him for many years, Tang San trusted his teacher, with whom he spent every day, more. The teacher was the last thing his mother left behind—the seed of life. Would his father really just plant it anywhere?

"Teacher, I'm mentally prepared. No matter where my father planted my mother, I'm going to go and see her."

Tang San answered, having already prepared for the worst: that his father had planted his mother's life seed in a place surrounded by large trees. Although there would be less sunlight, at least it ensured his mother's safety. Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, then led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Di Ruier into a carriage bound for Holy Soul Village. After several days of travel, Lin Feng and his group arrived safely at the entrance of Holy Soul Village. Upon alighting, Tang San looked at the familiar scene before him and felt a surge of emotion. Since his father left that letter leaving Holy Soul Village, he had never returned. Now, returning to Holy Soul Village again, he felt an indescribable feeling. "Teacher, did Father really plant Mother's life seed in Holy Soul Village?"

Thinking about the purpose of returning to Holy Soul Village, Tang San looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled look. He had lived in Holy Soul Village for six years, and he had been to almost every part of the village except for some very remote places, but he had never found any Blue Silver Grass that could resonate with him. This was strange. Where would his father plant his mother?

Seeing the young man's puzzled look, Lin Feng prepared to lead him to the back mountain of Holy Soul Village. "Young man, come with me."

Soon, after walking for a while, the group arrived at a place with a huge waterfall. When they were still very close to the waterfall, Lin Feng stopped and pointed behind the waterfall, saying, "Little San, the seed of life left by your mother is planted in the cave behind the waterfall."

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Tang San felt as if he had been struck by lightning, instantly frozen in place, completely unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. "This... how could this be? How could Father have left all the things Mother left behind in such a place?"

The cave behind the waterfall is completely devoid of sunlight, with only the water splashing from the waterfall flowing into it. In such a dark and damp environment, how could the mother possibly grow well?

Even at such close range, he could vaguely sense a very familiar presence drawing him from the cave behind the waterfall. This feeling of blood connection was unmistakable; the plant growing inside the cave was his mother. With a heart full of unease, Tang San slowly walked into the cave behind the waterfall, stopping frequently. On a small mound deep within the cave, he discovered a solitary Blue Silver Grass. Apart from some blue-gold patterns on its leaves, it was completely identical to ordinary Blue Silver Grass. "How could Mom have become like this? She was the Blue Silver Queen!"

Tang San only needed one glance to confirm that the Blue Silver Grass on the small mound was his mother. The feeling of blood connection was unmistakable. But why would his mother be planted in such a dark, damp place?

"Who, who on earth planted my mother in this kind of place!?"

Tang San was extremely agitated and nearly collapsed, shouting that he still couldn't believe his father would plant his mother in such a dark and damp cave.
