Afterward, seeing shrimp on the table, Tang Yuehua peeled one herself, dipped it in some sauce, and placed it in Chu Chengzhou's bowl.
"Has Aunt stopped loving me?"
Seeing that the first shrimp Aunt peeled wasn't for him, Tang San silently ate his chicken leg, tears falling in his heart.
He still remembered that whenever there was shrimp on the table before, Aunt would always peel one for him first.
Was it that, in Aunt's eyes, he was already grown at sixteen, or had Aunt stopped loving him?
Tang San: sob sob
After peeling three shrimp in a row for Chu Chengzhou, Tang Yuehua noticed her eldest nephew quietly watching her and couldn't help being taken aback.
"Xiao San, do these dishes not suit your taste? I remember you used to like them quite a bit, right?"
Pointing at the dishes on the table, Tang Yuehua asked in some confusion.
Tang San: "."
"Aunt, I haven't had much appetite lately."
With tears streaming inside, Tang San found an excuse.
"Oh, is it because of that Killing God Domain? Xiao San, Aunt will help you keep this power under control."
Tang Yuehua believed Tang San's excuse, since she had already "treated" two patients with the same condition.
One was Chu Chengzhou, the other was Second Brother Tang Hao. After the two of them left the Slaughter City, they both perfectly mastered the Killing God Domain with the help of her domain.
Suffering from "post-slaughter aftereffects," it was normal for her nephew to have no appetite.
"Mm."
Tang San nodded silently.
"By the way, Xiao San, where is your father?"
Suddenly, Tang Yuehua thought of Tang Hao.
They hadn't seen each other for over a year. Her Second Brother hadn't even come to visit, which was a bit much. Tang Yuehua had originally planned to formally introduce Chu Chengzhou to her Second Brother too.
Tang San shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Father said that once I can control the power of the Killing God Domain, he'll take me back to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge my lineage and return to the sect."
"Acknowledge your lineage and return… that makes sense. Xiao San, the Tang family's blood flows in you. No matter what, acknowledging your lineage and returning is a must. When the time comes, Aunt will go back with you."
After thinking it over, Tang Yuehua nodded.
Although her Second Brother Tang Hao had been expelled from the sect back then, it had been out of necessity. Blood is thicker than water. That bond of blood could never be severed.
Now that her nephew Tang San had grown up, it was time to return to the Clear Sky Sect.
If Second Brother and her nephew returned to the sect, her Eldest Brother Tang Xiao, who was the Sect Master, would certainly be pleased. But several elders in the sect held very strong prejudices against her Second Brother and would likely be displeased.
Back then, Spirit Hall had forced the sect to seal the mountain and go into seclusion, and the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses, including the wives and children of some elders.
Otherwise, how could the once number one sect in the world, with four generations of direct-line disciples, be reduced to just a little over two hundred people today?
Part of it was the affiliated soul masters scattering to the winds, but quite a few direct disciples had also died at the hands of Spirit Hall.
After all, when Spirit Hall forced the sect to seal the mountain and go into seclusion, how could the sect not resist?
And the root of the sect's upheaval was that her Second Brother Tang Hao fell in love with Second Sister-in-law in human form, and killed the former Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji.
As a result, while the elders hated Spirit Hall, they also held a deep hatred for her Second Brother Tang Hao.
When her eldest nephew returned to acknowledge his lineage, those elders would inevitably make things difficult.
Second Brother Tang Hao was very strong, but he bore guilt and was not in a position to strike at the elders.
Her eldest nephew Tang San was talented, but he had not yet grown and was far from a match for those elders.
So Tang Yuehua felt that as his aunt, she had to back him up.
In terms of closeness, those elders were only distant collateral relatives to her. In Tang Yuehua's eyes, they could not compare to her Second Brother and her nephew.
"Yuehua, then I'll go with you as well. After all, Xiao San is my nephew too."
Chu Chengzhou spoke to Tang Yuehua.
Hearing this, Tang San's expression darkened. That old thief Chu was truly hateful.
Unlike Tang San's reaction, as soon as Tang Yuehua heard it, a happy smile spread across her face and she gently rested her head on Chu Chengzhou's shoulder.
When it came to backing up her eldest nephew, Chu Chengzhou as the uncle would certainly be more professional than she was.
And the eldest brother is like a father. Now that she and Chu Chengzhou had come together, it was time for Eldest Brother Tang Xiao to meet his brother-in-law.
"Here, Yuehua, have some more papaya soup."
Chu Chengzhou ladled a few spoonfuls of papaya soup into Yueha's bowl. Mm, those who know, know.
A sumptuous dinner ended with Chu Chengzhou and Tang Yuehua being all lovey-dovey.
Dinner was abundant, but although Tang San hadn't eaten much, he felt full.
Late at night, in the warm, understated bedroom.
After taking some whale brain, his soul power increased again. Chu Chengzhou glanced at the soul tool clock hanging on the wall, saw that it was getting late, then got up and locked the door from the inside.
Then Chu Chengzhou stepped forward and gently embraced Tang Yuehua, who was cultivating Absolute Control in the bedroom. Taking in the faint fragrance on her, he leaned down to her ear and said, "Sister Yuehua, it's late. We should rest."
"Hey, Xiao San is in the room next door."
Understanding what Chu Chengzhou meant by "rest," Tang Yuehua blushed and whispered a soft reproach.
"It's fine. He can't hear."
As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou began kissing Yuehua's earlobe.
Soon, clothes fell piece by piece, and rhythmic sounds of collision and strange low moans rose in the bedroom.
The bedroom walls were not made of any special material. They had some soundproofing, but not very good. Her eldest nephew Tang San lived next door. Tang Yuehua covered her mouth tightly and held back with difficulty.
And for some reason, tonight Chu Chengzhou felt particularly excited.
At that moment, in the bedroom next door, Tang San had not gone to sleep and was still cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Tang San understood well the principle that without small steps one cannot reach a thousand miles. If conditions permitted, with his great vengeance unavenged, he would not give up any opportunity to cultivate.
Suddenly, a series of deliberately muffled strange sounds drifted into his ears. Tang San felt restless and irritable, and he withdrew from cultivation, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
What was going on? Didn't they know it was very immoral to disturb others' cultivation?
After listening carefully for a while, Tang San suddenly realized that these somewhat strange sounds seemed to be coming from the next room.
Could Aunt be feeling unwell?
That was Tang San's first thought.
"Aunt, are you feeling unwell?"
Tang San couldn't help asking.
"No, Xiao San… ah… Aunt is fine."
Hearing her eldest nephew's concern, Tang Yuehua replied, then hurriedly covered her mouth and glared fiercely back at Chu Chengzhou, who was up to no good.
Chu Chengzhou: one word, run.
Hearing this, Tang San was stunned, then seemed to understand, his neck flushing red.
"Damn that old thief Chu."
Tang San cursed inwardly.
