Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Pretty Girl asked, "Are we going to teleport directly to Ancestral Court next?"

Tang San said, "First, let the Transfer Array connect with the core magic array of our Golden Valley. The next Spatial Jump will still need to rely on the power of the core magic array over there. The upcoming teleportation will still target a predicted location, which I will set a bit farther from the Ancestral Court to avoid detection of spatial fluctuations. After we enter the Ancestral Court, we will find a safe place to set up another core magic array. Then this teleportation system can be considered truly complete. Next time, it won't be such a hassle, and we'll only need to transfer once to smoothly reach the Ancestral Court. In the future, once you or I reach the strength of a Great Demon King, we might not even need a transfer and can jump directly to the Ancestral Court without any problem. We will be able to travel back and forth between Jiali City and Ancestral Court at any time."

Pretty Girl took a deep breath, "That would be really convenient."

Tang San asked her to step into the magic array, "We are going to connect now, you need to assist me with your divine consciousness, which will make it much easier."

"No problem, just lead the way," Pretty Girl said, coming to Tang San's side and slowly channeling her divine consciousness, along with the power of space, opening the magic array underneath her feet guided by Tang San.

The connection between the Transfer Array and the core magic array went very smoothly, which also gave Pretty Girl a deeper understanding of the Teleportation Array.

Homologous resonance and translocation—these two terms marked the beginning of her brand-new understanding of space and opened a new door to the application of space elements for her.

When they teleported again and reappeared, they were already about two hundred kilometers away from the Ancestral Court.

The two of them rested while waiting for dawn, after which they could enter the Ancestral Court.

They were in a hilly area with no high mountains, but the terrain was uneven. They chose a sheltered spot, where Tang San took out some food and water, and they ate a bit.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Pretty Girl even felt as if she were in a different world—it was just two teleportations after all! Such simple transportation brought them so close to the Ancestral Court, an incredible feat.

Even as a possessor of a spatial attribute bloodline, she felt this deeply. Perhaps even the Emperors could not comprehend it. In the era of the Great Peacock Demon Emperor, it might have been impossible to teleport over such distance, but Tang San did it. This was surely related to the Time-space marker, but this knowledge of space filled Pretty Girl with admiration.

In a soft voice, Tang San said, "Are you tired? Rest for a bit, I'll keep watch."

"Hmm," Pretty Girl turned to glance at him and saw the warm smile on Tang San's face.

For some reason, she suddenly felt an impulsive urge and subconsciously leaned on his shoulder, wrapping her arm around his.

Her heartbeat sped up a bit, but she liked this feeling. Maybe it was a complex emotion.

Tang San's shoulder moved slightly, and he helped her arrange her hair so she could rest more comfortably on his shoulder.

Pretty Girl closed her eyes and quietly nestled in his arms. Tang San just held her waist and made no further moves. They enjoyed this rare tranquility together, and although they did not meditate, their hearts felt even more comfortable and peaceful than when they did.

Pretty Girl didn't know when she fell asleep; she just felt very safe. Even though the weather was getting chilly, she always felt warm by his side.

As the morning sunlight shone on her, Pretty Girl naturally woke from her sleep, opened her eyes, and blinked, her pretty face instantly showing a strange glow. A faint smile appeared on her face.

She carefully lifted her head, making no sudden movements, and looked at Tang San. She saw a pair of bright eyes.

Suddenly, her pretty face blushed completely, and she quickly sat up, lowered her head, and rubbed his shoulder, "Did I sleep too long?"

Feeling her hand kneading his shoulder, Tang San smiled and said, "You've just been too tired recently. It's okay, we're not in a hurry."

"Mm-hmm," Pretty Girl nodded gently. Ever since she took over as the City Lord, she had always been in a state of tension and busyness, never daring to slack off in either cultivation or managing Jiali City.

This time, leaving Jiali City with Tang San and returning to the Ancestral Court, she could temporarily set aside everything about Jiali City, giving her a feeling of light-heartedness.

She even thought to herself how wonderful it would be if there weren't so many troublesome matters! Wouldn't roaming mountains and playing in the waters be a blissful thing to do every day?

That thought was fleeting; perhaps it could happen in the future, but certainly not now. She still had far too many responsibilities weighing on her shoulders.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The two had something to eat, tidied up briefly, and then hit the road again, heading towards the Ancestral Court.

In order to avoid causing too much commotion, they did not teleport in but simply walked into the Ancestral Court.

The identity of a noble was not as complicated as name checking; it only involved race and noble rank, and so on.

Pretty Girl naturally held the identity of the Peacock Demon Clan, while Tang San posed as her human vassal. With their cultivation bases, a simple change in their facial muscles could make them look like completely different people.

The Ancestral Court's defenses were as lax as usual; they weren't even questioned upon entering, simply allowed in after showing their noble identities.

Returning to the Ancestral Court felt like familiar territory. Gazing at the distant Holy Mountains of the Emperors and feeling the rich spirituality of heaven and earth in the Ancestral Court, an unusual sensation couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

Yes, they had come back.

Tang San turned to look at Pretty Girl beside him. After altering her facial features, her appearance had become very ordinary, just like any other woman. Yet, even so, there was something unique about her demeanor that made Tang San feel the need to shield her with his own body even more.

"Where shall we go?" asked Pretty Girl telepathically to Tang San.

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Let's settle in the old place first."

"White Tiger Grand Hotel?" Pretty Girl asked in surprise.

"Mhm," Tang San nodded.

Although Pretty Girl had not stayed there before, she had come back with him a few times. Besides, it was a property of the White Tiger Great Demon King, and it was also where they had teleported to escape the last time.

Tang San led Pretty Girl through the streets and alleys, first observing the situation in the Ancestral Court. He didn't go to the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce Branch in the Ancestral Court; instead, he brought her directly to a secluded spot, performed the Peacock Transformation, and teleported with Pretty Girl on the spot.

With a flash of silver light, when they appeared again, they were already in a room, surprisingly the same room where Tang San had stayed last time. And beneath their feet was the exact Teleportation Array they had used before.

Caught off guard by Tang San's sudden teleportation, Pretty Girl jumped in shock, her pupils visibly constricting, "You..., how did you just teleport over like this?"

Tang San beamed a smile and said, "Because there's a Teleportation Array I set up here before. It has a fixed location, so teleporting over here is so much easier!"

"But, how did you know that the Teleportation Array here wasn't destroyed?" Pretty Girl asked curiously.

Tang San laughed and said, "Because your grandfather surely wouldn't want to destroy it; he'd want to keep it for research. Moreover, other Emperors wouldn't be allowed to touch this place. By teleporting here, we're also essentially notifying His Majesty that we've arrived. Killing two birds with one stone."

"You sure are confident, truly bold as brass," said an icy voice suddenly, causing Pretty Girl to feel a chill down her spine, for she had not sensed anyone's approach at all.
