Chapter 15

The young man who was the first to awaken and transform into a Wind Wolf was called Daqiang. The one who shared a room with Tang San was called Xiaomutou. The one who shared a room with Daqiang was called Maotou.

Wang Yanfeng gave them each a name, keeping it simple, similar to Tang San's. He named them Wang Da, Wang Er, and Wang San. He also told them that once they truly became vassals, they could change their names. Only by truly becoming vassals could they truly have their own names and bear the vassal's emblem, so as not to be treated as slaves and killed at will.

After dinner, Wang Yanfeng let them return to their rooms to rest. He would start teaching them tomorrow.

Back in the room, the shock of the day, the warmth of the place, and the stark contrast made Wang Er fall asleep quickly.

Seeing him asleep, Tang San quietly got out of bed. The sky outside had already darkened. He tiptoed through the hall and came to the door of a room on the other side of the first floor. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. Ling Muxue lived in this room, separated from the two rooms where the boys stayed by the hall.

The door opened, revealing Ling Muxue's face.

Seeing it was Tang San, Ling Muxue's red and swollen eyes became wet again.

Tang San slipped inside and closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong?" Tang San asked in a low voice. He was still very concerned about this girl who had given him warmth in this world, a place that felt like the end of the world for humans.

At his question, Ling Muxue almost instantly burst into tears.

"Mom, Mom..."

Tang San was taken aback, supporting her trembling body. In that moment, he suddenly had a foreboding feeling, as if his throat was constricted, making it hard to breathe.

"What happened to your mom?" Tang San asked, his voice urgent.

Ling Muxue was sobbing uncontrollably and couldn't speak.

Tang San frowned, helped her sit on the bed, and placed his right hand on her back, slowly infusing his Xuantian Gong energy into her body to stabilize her emotions.

As his energy entered Ling Muxue's body, he immediately sensed a faint green energy within her. It seemed to want to attach itself to his Xuantian Gong energy.

Tang San quickly controlled his energy and withdrew it. He didn't want to accidentally draw out the Wind Wolf bloodline energy from her body, in case it couldn't be restored, which would truly harm her.

But the moment his Xuantian Gong energy entered, Ling Muxue felt the warmth, and her emotions stabilized somewhat.

With tear-filled eyes, she looked at Tang San, "Mom, I saw Mom, on that platform."

"Buzz" Tang San felt his mind go blank.

The altar, Mom...

On that altar, those ten human women were probably, probably the mothers of the ten people who inherited the Wind Wolf bloodline!

Ling Muxue's mother was there, and so was the human woman who brought him to this world.

Even if it was just a brief moment, and he had no clear memory of her, she was the one who brought him to this world.

And it was because he decided to pretend to be an awakened Wind Wolf that...

Thinking of this, Tang San's body couldn't help but tremble.

He never imagined that the cruelty of the wolf demons would reach such a degree. The other three didn't notice, probably because they were separated from their mothers from a young age and couldn't recognize them. Only Ling Muxue, who had lived and grown up with her mother, recognized her.

The intense fear prevented her from shouting, which saved her life. But seeing her mother killed, how could she bear the grief once her emotions stabilized?

"This world is so cruel." At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Wang Yanfeng and Qiu Jing walked in.

Qiu Jing's eyes were also red.

Tang San suddenly stood up. In that instant, his blood seemed to boil, and he could hardly control his emotions. Even if he released his limited divine consciousness, he wanted to destroy everything here.

But at that moment, Qiu Jing quickly stepped forward, came to them, and held Ling Muxue in her arms, comforting her softly.

Wang Yanfeng closed his eyes in pain, "Each of us, every vassal who survived, has faced such a scene. This is the rule of the demon race. Human women who give birth to those with their bloodline are seen as a desecration of their ancestors and must be offered as sacrifices. Did you see the human skulls under the altar? They were all killed for this reason."

"When I saw you two, I sensed your difference. You both have opened your wisdom. Especially you, although you appeared the same as the others, when the other children who came for the test were killed, your body instantly tensed, not out of fear but as if you were ready to act. I could feel it because I was next to you. If I'm not mistaken, your Wind Wolf transformation had already awakened long ago. I don't know who taught you knowledge and opened your wisdom. But I want to tell you that in this world, survival is the only chance. Impulsiveness will only bring death, not just to you but to us and everything here. According to the demon race's rules, if a vassal betrays, all vassals in the town are executed. Even if you are just a child. The safest way would be to capture you and hand you over for interrogation. Both of you. Do you understand?"

The anger in Tang San's eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked at Wang Yanfeng with a cold but calm gaze, "So, do you plan to hand us over?"

Wang Yanfeng felt a chill, almost intimidated by Tang San's gaze, even though he was just a child and seemed so weak.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "If I were going to hand you over, would I have stood in front of you then? Child, don't do anything, and don't go anywhere. You won't see your mother's body again; they have already disposed of it. If you really care, then live well and work hard to become strong."

The coldness in Tang San's eyes gradually disappeared, and his clenched fists slowly relaxed.

If he triggered his divine consciousness, he had an 80% chance of destroying everything here. But the possibility of him becoming a god again in this world's suppression would become extremely low. The rules of this planet are too powerful.

But in this world, on this continent of demons, is the tragedy of humans limited to Wind Wolf Town? No, it happens in every corner. Even if he wiped out Wind Wolf Town, it wouldn't solve the fundamental problems of humans.

Wang Yanfeng was right; only by becoming truly strong could he solve everything.

At that moment, a warm hand grasped his.

Tang San turned his head and saw Qiu Jing's tear-filled eyes.

"Child, we can't do anything. Living well is the best way to comfort your mother. I have a child too, but he failed the awakening test. If he had succeeded, I would have been willing to die." As she spoke, Qiu Jing pulled Tang San into her arms, holding him and Ling Muxue, tears streaming down her face.

Qiu Jing's embrace was warm, warming his heart filled with murderous intent.

Ling Muxue cried herself to sleep in her warm embrace. Wang Yanfeng sent Tang San back to his room.

"Get a good night's sleep." Wang Yanfeng patted his head.
