Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

But now? Silver has only been gone for a day, and Cinderella already feels like she's experiencing hellish baby life ahead of time.

Looking at Tang San, who was fast asleep beside her, she felt a surge of intense sympathy.

"Little one, you're even worse off than me. You were just born, you didn't even remember your mother's face before she was gone. And now you're stuck with a father like this..."

She simply couldn't imagine what her life would be like in the future.

Cinderella also tried to remind Tang Hao by crying.

"Wow!" (I'm hungry!)

"Waaah!" (I need to go to the toilet)

"Waaaaah!!!" (The little guy seems a bit cold! Look at him, you idiot!)

However, Tang Hao, immersed in boundless pain and frantic escape, had completely cut himself off from the outside world.

Cinderella's loud cries couldn't reach Tang Hao's ears at all.

Finally, just as Cinderella felt like she was about to burst from holding her pee and was starving, Tang Hao stumbled and crashed heavily into a huge ancient tree, finally coming to a stop.

He leaned against the rough, cold tree trunk, panting heavily, not because he was tired, but because he was once again feeling that suffocating grief.

Tang Hao lowered his head and looked at the cocoon in his arms, which was still emitting a soft blue light.

The light from the cocoon dimmed somewhat.

Tang Hao stared intently at the cocoon of light with bloodshot eyes, as if he could see Ah Yin through it.

He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch it, but then pulled it back as if he had been burned.

"A Yin!"

Inside the cocoon of light, Cinderella watched as Tang Hao finally lowered his head, and she immediately began to cry loudly.

"Waaaaah!!"

"Child...child?"

After hearing Cinderella's cries, Tang Hao finally realized that there were two children inside the cocoon of light he was holding.

They were two tiny, vulnerable babies, crying for milk.

At this moment, another wave of immense guilt surged into Tang Hao's heart. What had he done?

He had completely forgotten about his two children with Ah Yin!

Chapter 25 Lin Wan: I'm so handsome

"I'm...I'm sorry, Gin, I'm sorry, children."

Tang Hao lowered his head and pressed his forehead tightly against the blue cocoon of light.

Hot tears mingled with the blood and dirt on his face, silently streaming down his cheeks.

Inside the cocoon of light, Cinderella breathed a sigh of relief.

"God! You've finally noticed that we're still just kids! Thank God!"

……

In Skyfrost City, Lin Wan was greatly shocked after learning about Cinderella's experiences.

According to Lin Wan's original plan, Cinderella would be adopted by an ordinary family in the Heaven Dou Empire, grow up normally, and then awaken her martial soul step by step. With her excellent talent, she would become a core member no matter which academy she entered, and thus gain prestige.

This route is Lin Wan's idea for the vast majority of fairy tale characters who are infants, such as Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Little Match Girl. They all started as infants and have now been adopted by others thanks to the unique charm of fairy tale characters.

But man proposes, God disposes. Lin Wan never expected that Cinderella would be adopted by Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and that she would be born in the same year as the protagonist Tang San.

Now that Cinderella has a relationship with the protagonist, Lin Wan will have to revise her previous plans.

After all, Lin Wan wasn't fond of Shrek Academy or the main characters, especially since Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, was an ancient person who was blindly filial and would often say things like, "You've already found a way to die."

Lin Wan really didn't want to deal with such an emotionally unstable person.

But things are different now; Cinderella has become Tang San's older sister.

You see, it's no use for Tang San to blindly obey anyone; he might as well just be filial to Cinderella and become her loyal little dog.

You said there's Tang Hao ahead of Cinderella, so Lin Wan is even less worried.

Everyone knows Tang Hao's state of mind; he became self-destructive after Ah Yin's death.

In the original story, it's more accurate to say that Tang San was taking care of him rather than him taking care of Tang San.

With Ah Yin dead, Tang Hao was completely ruined. He spent his days immersed in pain and alcohol. Apart from instilling hatred in Tang San that his mother was killed by the Spirit Hall, he didn't give Tang San much substantial fatherly love or guidance.

Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood was entirely due to his own extraordinary abilities.

Now, Tang San has a gentle, beautiful, and kind older sister who accompanies him day and night.

Lin Wan believed that with Cinderella's abilities and methods, replacing the dejected Tang Hao and becoming the most important person in Tang San's heart would be a piece of cake!

As for Tang Hao, he will only become a reference point for Cinderella to test Tang San's filial piety.

At that time:

Tang San: Sister, someone has been disrespectful to you!

Cinderella waved her hand gracefully: Forget about the mistress, he doesn't deserve to die.

Tang San put away the Clear Sky Hammer and obediently replied, "Yes, sister is right."

Tang San: Sister, this magic herb will be useful to you!

Cinderella smiled: "My little sister is so good, I like her very much."

Tang San's boastful expression: "I'm glad my sister likes it!"

The thought of this scene filled Lin Wan with a sense of wonder.

Lin Wan quickly used the system to give Cinderella a general overview of Tang San's future.

Upon receiving Lin Wan's message, Cinderella turned to look at the baby blinking beside her and exclaimed, "How can a newborn baby be so obedient? It's a fake baby!"

She stretched out her finger and poked Tang San's face hard.

"I never expected you, little brat, to be the main character."

……

After conveying Tang San's message and arrangements to Cinderella, Lin Wan turned her attention back to reality.

His first semester at the Tianshuang City Junior Soul Master Academy has ended, and he is currently packing his things in the work-study dormitory. He will return to Hanbei Village with Old Drus when he arrives.

A few days ago, Old Drust specially came to Skyfrost City with the village's hunting team.

After meeting Lin Wan, he first asked her when she would have her holiday. After getting the specific date, he asked her whether she would go back to Hanbei Village or stay in Tianshuang City during her holiday.

Old Drus asked about this because Lin Wan is now a Soul Master, unlike before when she was a child who needed the village to take care of her.

Lin Wan answered Drews's question without hesitation.

After all, Lin Wan had stayed in Hanbei Village for three years, so it was his first home.

After receiving Lin Wan's affirmative answer, Old Drews held Lin Wan's hand and talked on and on, and even made an appointment with Lin Wan to come and pick her up at a certain time.

Lin Wan wanted to decline, after all, he was now a level 15 Soul Master, and his physical condition was much better than before, so traveling back alone would be easy for him.

But when he saw the worry in old Drus's eyes, he swallowed his refusal.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Grandpa Drews," Lin Wan replied with a smile.

Lin Wan knew perfectly well why old Drews insisted on coming.

As his soul power broke through to level 10 and he absorbed a soul ring, his already outstanding appearance seemed to begin to transform and sublimate over time.

Just as a rough jade is meticulously carved, and a bright pearl is washed clean of dust.

Her short, silvery-white hair now resembled the finest moonlight silk, its luster shimmering.

Her azure eyes became even more deep and captivating, and her skin was now so fair it was almost translucent, gleaming with a warm and delicate luster like jade in the light.

What's most striking is his aura. The noble charm brought by the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul makes Lin Wan seem like an elf who has stepped out of a painting, possessing both breathtaking beauty and an untouchable sense of distance.

It can be said that Lin Wan's current level of beauty has reached an extremely dangerous level.

Despite Lin Wan's deliberate efforts to keep a low profile within the academy, many people still kept a close eye on him.

To this, Lin Wan could only reply: "Brother is too handsome, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Wan was well aware of his own handsomeness, after all, he saw his face every day.

In Lin Wan's view, the current state of Douluo Continent is a combination of the corrupt feudal landlord class and the law of the jungle where strength reigns supreme.

The nobles and powerful Soul Masters, who are high above the rest, control absolute power and resources.

In their eyes, ordinary people, especially those without power, are no different from ants.

Whatever they covet—whether it's precious soul bones, rare herbs, or beautiful young men and women—can be obtained by their henchmen with just a word or even a glance.

Power, wealth, and beautiful women are all their playthings and collectibles.

Lin Wan was very self-aware. He was certain that with his current level of handsomeness, if he didn't try to hide it, he would definitely be noticed by some people with special fetishes and then kidnapped.

Therefore, Lin Wan basically modifies his face every day to try to look less handsome.

Chapter 26 Attack

However, even with Lin Wan's disguise, he was still considered extremely dangerous by old Drews.

Old Drus had lived for decades and knew the darkness of the Douluo Continent all too well.

Therefore, he is still a little worried about this future Soul Master in their village.

……

The appointed time arrived quickly.

Lin Wan also packed his luggage. He didn't have much to take back, just a few changes of clothes and a few books he borrowed from the library: a soul beast encyclopedia and a continental geography book.

Although Lin Wan concealed his face, the enhancement brought to Lin Wan by the Nine-Tailed Fox was from the inside out. At this moment, he stood quietly downstairs in the dormitory building, still looking out of place in the rough work-study environment around him, which attracted the attention of passing students and teachers.

"Xiao Wan, over here!"
