Tong Bai watched Shi Lang exim and chuckled as she said, "What, did you think I would stay single for all my life?"


    Shi Lang hurriedly waved his head and said, "It''s not that, but after seeing you for such a long time, I did not expect you to give me such a news. It is hard to understand who might have entered your vision."


    Tong Bai smiled and said, "I had high standards but only in terms of temperament. You were a maniac, Tian Long was a sucker for Sister Moon, and then there was the spear demon Shen. Do you think anyone would have dared to look at me back then?"


    Shi Lang chuckled and said, "I did not expect you to remember all that, well, Tian Long and Moon are here, but they are far away."


    Tong Bai''s eyes shed as she asked, "Will theye over? Tell me where they are, I will go over."


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Have some patience, they wille over soon, but it will take sometime. You were elder to us all, and you came to this world before some forces in the east created a caged realm which surrounded the ascension pool."


    Tong Bai raised her eyebrow and asked, "I heard about it but what is going on tell me."


    Shi Lang began to exchange the information with Tong Bai. He did not have any walls around her, because she was one of the people from the lower realm who could be said to be his friend.


    Shi Lang once needed a huge amount of spiritual stones to break through and so he entered the vault of the Vermillion Empire. He invaded the treasure vault of the family by holding Princess Tong a hostage at the tip of his crooked de. Tong Bai was a child back then but she was the most favored person in the entire kingdom.


    To get away from the ce, Shi Lang took her out of the pce, and none of the people could do anything to him. Even the king was left with a fuming rage. When they got away, Shi Lang hid away and let go of the princess. Tong Bai grew up and came out to venture in thend of swords and spears on her own, however, she was still naive and fell in the trap of some ck hearted people.


    Tong Bai was blessed with the heavenly physique which was said to be a bane in theter stages and she would need an equally powerful opportunity to break through the bounds set upon her by the heavens.


    Shi Lang happened to be searching for the opportunity and when their paths crossed, the Terran fought alongside her and killed many people to save her life. Tong Bai would have died but Shi Lang gave up the opportunity that allowed her to break her shackles.


    When Tong Bai finished her breakthrough she found Shi Lang was long gone. She could not understand how can a cultivator be so naive, and give up their chance. She returned to her kingdom with new power and made the King announce a pardon for Shi Lang and he was even praised.


    After years, Shi Lang evaded a death crisis but he was messed up, and hid himself in the Vermillion Kingdom. He was living in a forgotten alley of the capital, when Tong Bai came out for a secret tour and found him in shambles.


    She gave him shelter and brought him up to his peak, and Shi Lang thanked her before leaving. Tong Bai always used to tease him that he had not paid her back the spirit stones he stole, and they became good friends.


    However, this rtion was not good for the future Empress and after a discussion with the King, Shi Lang never acted like good friends with her before the people. To the masses the two of them were at odds and wouldpete for treasures.


    Tong Bai heard what happened to Amelia and how Shi Lang wished to kill his way through the Juan family and she clenched her fists as she said, "Brother, do you think I am not good enough to fight those petty ants? I am a Dao Sovereign, I can destroy them whenever you tell me. Why do you stop me from killing them?"


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Amelia wished for me to destroy them. I will make them an example throughout the eastern continent. No one use their strength to abuse people. I will make sure there screams are heard throughout the world so that the people know they cannot get away from their sins."


    Tong Bai saw his smile but when she looked in his eyes, she was shocked. She seemed to have seen a scene of carnage. She was surprised to think that Shi Lang could stay so sane and sophisticated with so much rage inside his heart. She took a deep breath and said, "Fine, you can deal with them when you are strong enough but you have to call me when you go knocking."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will introduce you to Amelia."


    Tong Bai understood his meaning and nodded. Then she said, "Well, let''s go, the sun has set and it is time to go home. Tonight, you dine with us."


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I have to look after three people. I cannot dine tonight."


    Tong Bai rolled her eyes and said, "Come along, I will pick them up with you."


    Shi Lang shrugged and then they both left the shop. The people did not seem to notice them and Shi Lang said, "Xiao Bai, you are using a special artifact to hide us. You have not outgrown your sense of vanity."


    Tong Bai shook her head and replied, "You don''t know what my real identity is, that is why you are taking me lightly. If I told you that I married the young master of the Tu family you might go crazy."


    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "Tu family is an ally, why would I go crazy. Thank god you are not linked with the three houses."


    Tong Bai stopped in her tracks and asked, "Don''t tell me you are the one who challenged the entire Situ family."


    Shi Lang nodded and replied, "The one and only, yours truly. Even Tian Long does not have the guts like mine."


    Tong Bai sighed and said, "Do you know how shady they are?"


    Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "We will sparter, then you will know what I am made of."


    Tong Bai snorted and they reached the inn where the Ding family trio was living. Shi Lang came to the room with Tong Bai and five Phantom Cats appeared before him. Tong Bai was surprised and Shi Lang tossed out a few spirit refining pills.


    Tong Bai''s pupils dted and she asked, "Did you just feed them with Tribtion pills?"


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "I am a tribtion level alchemist. Aren''t you underestimating me a bit too much?"


    Thedy did not reply but Shi Lang asked Katar what was going on and the phantom cat said, "Old Ding tried to run away thrice, we had to cast an illusion on him. It turns out, he is not the father of these girls. There mother was a member of the Essence Valley, and there father was also from the same force. However, the three houses went there on conquest and left behind a trail of corpses.


    Old Ding was passing from their when the mother of the children gave him one million spirit stones and made him sign a contract to look after them till they grow up."


    Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Do the girls know?"


    Katar nodded slowly and said, "That man told them everything because they were trying to keep him here."


    Shi Lang frowned and sighed, "Such a scum, if there Dao Heart is effected, I will kill put his soul in prison for eternity."


    That said, he pushed open the door, and found the man sitting in the corner with an ever changing joyful expression on his face. On the contrary, the little girls were sitting cross-legged on the bed with their eyes closed.


    Shi Lang heaved a sigh of relief and the girls woke up. They looked at Shi Lang and thedy behind him. Tong Bai was surprised and remarked, "They have Yin Yang eyes."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "They will make good cultivators."


    He asked, "Do you wish to stay with this man or would you like to follow me? In the market, I protected you because you two remind me of my disciples. I wonder if you would like to follow me."


    The girls looked at each other and stood up as they said, "We would like to follow you, Senior."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Follow me then."


    That said they left the man behind and left the inn.
