Chapter 213: Sister Mei, I Am Sorry
"I was wrong." Tang San admitted humbly, but his heart was filled with warmth.
No matter how she treated him, he was willingly devoted in his heart. In this life, he was determined to protect her well. In the previous life, she had done just too much for him, and his inability to protect her was an immense pain in his heart. Had he been unable to find her reincarnation, even with that fragment of divine consciousness searching for her, he would have chosen to keep searching until his last shred of power vanished into nothingness.
Yet the favor of the heavens allowed him to find her again. What could be more wonderful than this? Upon first seeing her, Tang San had found a new light in this world, which he had thought was filled with nothing but malice toward humanity.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Mei Gongzi\'s expression softened a bit. Subconsciously, she touched his waist before continuing to walk. Tang San hurried to follow, not daring to look too much, but he found himself irresistibly drawn to her, as if she was a magnet.
After leaving Kali Academy, Tang San followed Mei Gongzi into the city, walking toward the city center under her lead.
Kali City was most lively in the evening, with bustling crowds on the streets and densely packed shops on either side. The food stalls and restaurants in particular were extraordinarily lively, and the clamor of the crowd was accompanied by the fragrance of food wafting through the air.
Tang San closely followed Mei Gongzi, and when the crowd thickened, he instinctively used his body to shield her from the bustling crowds, ensuring no one got too close to her.
Sensing his attentiveness, Mei Gongzi\'s icy expression softened slightly.
After hearing what Tang San said earlier, she was furious. Even Song Junhou had never dared to speak to her like that, so what was in this boy’s mind?
Usually, she would have sent him away, never to see him again. But for some reason, despite her irritation, she hadn\'t driven him away. It was his inexplicable emotions that were the source of her agitation. She had thought about this, but it was clear to her that she’d had no interactions with him before. So why did she feel differently about him?
She had deliberately kept her distance, but seeing him kill the Giant Demon Scorpion and take away the bodies of the two human vassals, she had intended to retrieve and bury them. She hadn\'t expected it to be him. The impact on Mei Gongzi was quite strong. In her eyes, he was just a child, the mayor\'s disciple. Yet in front of her eyes, he had killed the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion—he had defeated an eighth-order demonic beast. She knew that few humans in the Redemption Society had such strength, and he was so young. No wonder he was an Orange-Class Redeemer.
The task she had to fulfill was extremely challenging, and she needed someone. That was why she had thought to call him out today. But in their short interaction just now, something about him felt off, especially that phrase he said so naturally as if it was the kind of thing he often told her. Even now, as he shielded her from the crowd, everything seemed so natural, and evoked within her a strange sense of familiarity.
They walked until they were near the central square, near Mei Gongzi\'s milk tea shop. Only then did Mei Gongzi stop in front of a small restaurant. She glanced at the closed milk tea shop before entering the restaurant with Tang San.
The restaurant was small, with only six tables spanning less than eighty square meters. A narrow staircase led to the second floor.
Mei Gongzi led Tang San upstairs to two private rooms. She took him into the one on the left.
Upon closing the door, Tang San was surprised to find a small insulation array that could block sound and aura within the room. This was obviously more than just a restaurant. He quickly realized that it was probably a hideout of the Redemption Society.
When they entered, the first floor was empty of customers, with a "Closed" sign hanging at the entrance. So, in this place, it was just him and Mei Gongzi.
Mei Gongzi walked to the table and sat down, indicating for him to do the same.
Tang San sat opposite her. This was the first time they were alone in a private space since he had met her. The unusual feeling made Tang San\'s heart beat faster. It was almost like a date!
"You\'re Tang San, right?"
"Um, yes." Tang San nodded.
Mei Gongzi asked, "The day you fought the eighth-order Giant Ao Demon Scorpion, what was your Demonic God Transformation?"
Tang San replied, “Wind Wolf."[1]
This was his publicly known Demonic God Transformation.
"What is your cultivation order?" Mei Gongzi asked again.
Tang San was a bit surprised. With her status as a Blue-Class Redeemer, couldn\'t she just ask the mayor for this information? But obviously, she hadn\'t asked the mayor about this.
"I am at the peak of the sixth order, close to the seventh."
Mei Gongzi\'s expression darkened when she heard this. "A peak sixth-order defeating an eighth-order Giant Ao Demon Scorpion?"
Tang San smiled wryly. "You can also defeat opponents above your order, right?"
Mei Gongzi coldly said, "Tell me, do you have a second Demonic God Transformation?"
Tang San was taken aback, not expecting Mei Gongzi to address the critical issue directly.
Mei Gongzi\'s gaze was piercing, not giving an inch.
Tang San hesitated momentarily before saying, "Why do you ask? Doesn\'t a person only have one Demonic God Transformation?"
Mei Gongzi calmly said, "In principle yes, but some can have multiple Demonic God Transformations. They’re usually weak, though, because they have less of each bloodline. There are only a few exceptions. You are one of those exceptions, right? Otherwise, you can’t possibly tell me you killed the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion with that weak transformation."
Tang San scratched his head, thinking that she seemed even more intelligent in this life. Ah, Xiao Wu, I\'m not saying you\'re foolish! That\'s not what I meant.
Mei Gongzi said, "As you probably noticed, I didn\'t ask Mayor Zhang about it. Of course, I will keep it confidential. As a Blue-Class Redeemer, I have the authority to know. This relates to the tasks I will assign you in the future. I need to know the true capabilities of my subordinates."
If it weren\'t for his identity as Asura, Tang San wouldn\'t mind revealing everything to her. However, concealing some of his abilities to a certain extent would be more beneficial in protecting her. So, Tang San was pondering—if she insisted on knowing about his second Demonic God Transformation, which should he tell her?
Seeing his silence, Mei Gongzi did not press further but simply watched him, waiting for his answer.
Under her beautiful gaze, Tang San said, "No, really, there isn\'t. The thing is, my spiritual power is a bit different from normal people’s, so I have a much better control of my Demonic God Transformation."
He still didn\'t reveal his multiple Demonic God Transformations. Asura had used the Leopard Flash ability in front of Mei Gongzi. At the same time, the Golden Roc wings, Time Freeze, and Celestial Fox Vision were too powerful and far too similar to the abilities of a certain group of students from the Redemption Society, making them too suspicious to disclose. As for the Blue Silver Emperor, that was his trump card, which Asura would use in the future, so it wasn\'t suitable to reveal. Therefore, he could only attribute his success to his spiritual power.
"Spiritual power anomaly?" Mei Gongzi looked at him, puzzled.
Tang San nodded. He slowly raised his right hand, and a blue light surged within his palm. The next moment, a whirlwind formed in his hand.
The rich wind elemental energy compressed as it spun, quickly turning into a small, cyan-colored wind blade. It was clearly made of wind energy, but it completely lacked the ethereal quality of the wind. Instead, it looked solid, like a piece of glass, as it quietly lay in Tang San’s hand.
1. The raws here say “Wind Tiger,” but nobody apart from him and the mayor knows about that. As far as his official story is concerned, he has the Wind Wolf bloodline. ☜
