Those eyes, which were originally clear, gentle, and sometimes firm and calm, were now dull and lifeless. They were the look of a dead heart.
If Tang Yin died in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, the soul beast in his body would be forever controlled by Tang Yin and would never see the light of day.
"Three years, Xiaoyin, what on earth have you been through in those three years to become like this..."
Ah Yin stepped forward, held Tang Yin's hand, and said with concern: "Xiao Yin, you're awake."
Having experienced the painful time of Ah Yin's sacrifice, he instantly recognized Tang Yin's eyes. Compared to the heartbreak he felt during that period, Tang Yin seemed to be even more painful for his own child.
Thinking of what happened to Tang Yin, Ah Yin felt extremely guilty.
After hearing Ah Yin's surprised words, Tang Hao also rushed into the tent. Just then he saw Tang Yin's eyes. Tang Hao, who had been calm before, now felt turbulent in his heart.
Eyes are the windows to the soul. How could it be the first time for Ah Yin, who has been with Tang Yin day and night, to look into Tang Yin's eyes?
After checking some information with Zi Xi, Zi Xi also felt incredible about this situation. Fortunately, Tang Yin was not in danger of life now. She secretly sighed in her heart that it was a close call.
"Mom~"
Being killed by the hands of the one you love, having your hot heart pierced by the cold reality, this kind of pain is something that even Tang Hao, who watched his wife sacrificed in front of him, could not experience.
Zhu Zhuyun wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a weak cough sounded, like a natural sound in the silent tent.
Tang Hao saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He only hated his own incompetence and had no place to vent the frustration in his heart.
Ah Yin wiped away the tears from Tang Yin's eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Don't cry, Xiao Yin. If you have any worries, don't keep them in your heart. Tell mom."
As he spoke, Ah Yin winked at Zhu Zhuyun and Tang Hao, asking them to wait outside the tent.
"Mom, I want to drink some water." Tang Yin's tone was very weak, but he felt very safe in his heart.
After traveling around the continent for more than a year, the usually decisive and ruthless Tang Yin now seemed like a mother's baby boy, with a hint of coquettishness in his words.
Ah Yin picked up the water that had been prepared on the side, helped Tang Yin up slightly, and slowly fed him the water.
The dry throat felt much better after being moistened by water. Tang Yin lay on the soft blanket, silent for a long time.
Ah Yin didn't urge Tang Yin. Although she didn't know what Tang Yin had experienced, she could see that Tang Yin was feeling upset at the moment.
"Mom, what does it feel like to love someone?"
Upon hearing this question, Ah Yin was stunned for a moment, then she recalled the past between herself and Tang Hao and told the story slowly.
"Love means wanting to look at the person you love every moment, to tolerate his shortcomings, to respect his choices, and to devote everything to him, even your life."
Every word Ah Yin said made Tang Yin feel painful. He knew that he had fallen in love with Bibi Dong, very much in love. That kind of love was definitely not just simple lust, otherwise Tang Yin could have indulged himself at that time.
But what about Bibi Dong? Her cold words belittled his love to the point of being worthless.
“Can these be installed?”
Ah Yin finally understood that her child must have been hurt by love.
"Xiaoyin, do you think love can be faked?" Xiaoyin did not answer Tang Yin's question directly, but asked back.
Tang Yin thought back to those three years. How could he forget Bibi Dong's ambiguous attachment to him? It was obvious that they were only one step away from each other. Although Bibi Dong had been avoiding this feeling, how could Tang Yin not see it?
Yes, how can you pretend to love? Then why...
The pain in his heart made Tang Yin close his eyes and stop thinking about this problem.
Although I didn't want to believe it, Bibi Dong's madness and ridicule were her real feelings. She said that everything was performed for me.
The strong contrast of thoughts tore Tang Yin's head apart, almost tearing Tang Yin's spiritual sea of consciousness in half.
The last words of Mr. Turtle before his death came to my mind again: "Love is a word of torture, it refines people, refines souls, and refines hearts."
Master, what exactly do you mean by this sentence...
Tang Yin closed his eyes and said softly to Ah Yin, "Mom, come back and have a rest."
Seeing that Tang Yin did not ask any more questions, Ah Yin said worriedly: "Xiao Yin, your body..."
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. Your current state can't be maintained for much longer. It will cost me the most to completely dissipate it."
Ah Yin obeyed Tang Yin's words and returned to Tang Yin's body. Before leaving, Ah Yin told Tang Yin: "Xiao Yin, you are still young, and the future is still very exciting. Don't dwell on the past."
"I know. Good night, Mom. See you tomorrow."
Tang Yin pretended to be slightly relaxed and said to Ah Yin.
Seeing Ah Yin entering his body, Tang Yin put away the relaxation on his face and looked quietly at the top of the tent.
Outside the tent, Zhu Zhuyun secretly listened to the conversation between Tang Yin and A Yin. Tang Hao did not stop Zhu Zhuyun's behavior because he knew what Zhu Zhuyun was thinking.
After Zhu Zhuyun knew that Tang Yin might be hurt by love, she couldn't help feeling sad.
Xiaoyin, do you already have someone you like?
After the conversation in the tent ended, Zhu Zhuyun did not go into the tent. She looked at the starry sky, waiting for the new day to come.
After a night's rest, Ah Yin's condition improved a lot. When she came out of Tang Yin's body, she couldn't believe what she saw.
Tang Yin, who was still a teenager, had his black hair turn completely white overnight.
Chapter 72 Asking for help
Under Tang Yin's head of white hair were a pair of scarlet eyes. The inner struggle and torment had drained away his remaining energy overnight.
When he saw Ah Yin appear, the redness in Tang Yin's eyes gradually faded away.
Worried, Ah Yin stepped forward and hugged Tang Yin in his arms: "Xiao Yin..."
The crying words made Tang Yin, who had regained her sanity, feel guilty, and her tone was filled with pain: "I'm sorry, Mom, I can't forget it, I really can't forget it."
"It's okay." Ah Yin stroked Tang Yin's white hair and said to comfort him softly, "If you can't forget it, then we won't forget it. As long as you are fine, that's all."
"In fact, this time, besides your father and I waiting here for you, Xiaoyun has also been waiting for you here with us for nearly three months."
"Xiaoyun?"
Tang Yin hasn't reacted yet.
Tang Yin was too weak yesterday and he did not see Zhu Zhuyun hiding in the corner.
"She is the elder sister of the pair of sisters you asked your father to adopt. Have you forgotten about her?"
"Dad, I'm sorry to have made you worried." Tang Yin said to Tang Hao.
Looking at the smile on the girl's face, Tang Yin lowered his eyebrows, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
Zi Xi explained at the right time.
Tang Hao shook his head: "The one who is most worried about you is your mother. How is your health?"
Tang Yin hesitated, and at this moment, he couldn't utter the cruel words of rejection.
Seeing Tang Yin become like this, Tang Hao could only sigh in his heart that Tang Yin was a fool. He knew that he had no right to criticize Tang Yin's faults.
Zhu Zhuyun knew Tang Yin's feelings and saw his hesitation. From his expression, it was clear that even though Tang Yin was hurt by love, there was no room for another woman in his heart.
"Don't be nervous. This is the aftereffect of your body's soul power being sealed for a long time. You will be able to return to normal in a few months."
He is not a cruel person, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as indecisive when it comes to his emotional issues.
Tang Yin was also confused about his current condition. His physical injuries had obviously been almost healed, so he was not surprised at being weak, but he didn't understand why he couldn't use the soul power in his body.
"Xiaoyin, no need to say more, I understand. As long as you are safe."
He felt both heartache for Tang Yin and anger towards the unknown woman, and even a little hope.
Tang Hao's heart tightened. He was afraid that Tang Yin would become an ordinary person from then on. It didn't matter to him whether he took revenge or not. He was afraid that Tang Yin would not be able to accept his fall from genius to mediocrity.
The girl's face was haggard, her cheeks slightly thin, worry and deep longing flashed in her black eyes, and fatigue could not be concealed between her brows.
Her words eased Tang Yin's worries. After all, if he became an ordinary person after practicing for so many years, it would be hard for him to accept such a gap.
It turned out to be her. Tang Yin was very surprised that this chance friend would appear here.
With A Yin's support, Tang Yin walked out of the tent and saw Zhu Zhuyun at first sight.
But after hearing Ah Yin say that Zhu Zhuyun traveled thousands of miles alone to wait for her, Tang Yin fell silent. Having experienced this, how could he not understand the girl's feelings.
"I don't know. I feel like I can't use the soul power in my body right now."
"Sister Zhuyun, I..."
He didn't want to delay Zhu Zhuyun and wanted to explain things to her directly.
Tang Hao took out a wooden wheelchair from his storage soul guide. Tang Yin had just recovered from a serious injury and was unable to receive the nourishment of soul power, so he still had difficulty moving around.
During the three months that Tang Yin disappeared, Tang Hao had made many preparations, including taking Tang Yin's serious injury into consideration. Now this wheelchair came in handy.
Seeing Tang Hao take out the wheelchair, Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "Dad, I'm not that weak yet."
Tang Hao didn't have the patience to persuade Tang Yin. He took Tang Yin from Ah Yin and forced him into the wheelchair: "How come you haven't listened to your father after traveling for more than a year?"
Tang Hao pushed Tang Yin, and the four of them left the wilderness.
On the way, Tang Yin suddenly said, "Dad, I need to go to the bathroom, can you push me aside?"
Tang Hao pushed Tang Yin towards the bushes on the side, and Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuyun didn't care.
Tang Hao pushed Tang Yin to a place where Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuyun couldn't see him. When he was about to help Tang Yin up, Tang Yin, who had his back to him, said in a low voice: "Dad, can you do me a favor?"
Tang Hao then realized that Tang Yin didn't want to go to the bathroom, he just wanted to avoid Zhu Zhuyun and A Yin.
"Silly child, just tell daddy if you have anything to say. There is no need to help."
But the amount of information contained in Tang Yin's next words made Tang Hao's pupils tremble.
"I want to know the past of the current Pope Bibi Dong. The more detailed the better."
If Tang Yin had asked before this, Tang Hao would have thought that Tang Yin wanted to know about the enemies he would face in the future. But considering that Tang Yin had just been hurt by love, anyone with a little bit of compassion would have linked the two together.
Could it be that……
"Dad, you're right. The person who has been with me for three years is Bibi Dong."
Although Tang Hao was almost certain of this guess in his heart, it was still hard to believe when Tang Yin said it himself.
"Xiaoyin, I understand."
Pushing Tang Yin out of the jungle, the three of them continued walking forward and soon arrived at a small town.
The four of them rested in a shabby hotel. Tang Hao said to Tang Yin and the other two, "I'll go find a carriage later to take Xiao Yin to Tian Dou City to find his teacher. Xiao San has probably been breaking through level 30 for a while, so I have to help him hunt for spirit rings."
