Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Then please prepare some extra. I will write you a list later," Tang San said. He was indeed in need of rare metals.

With the Heavenly Fire Fine Gold Hammer, forging was now much easier for him than before. Making hidden weapons was naturally a breeze.

Pretty Girl had entered the hunting phase, and there was no telling how much she would need to do in the future. Preparing powerful hidden weapons had become an urgent matter.

Moreover, Pretty Girl had seen him auction off the Heavenly Fire Fine Gold Hammer as Tang San, so the hammer could not be used as a weapon in front of her. Tang San also needed to forge a suitable weapon for himself to enhance his strength. In the Falan World, there was no shortage of resources.

In the following days, life returned to its mundane routine. Sweeper Li Tang was still Sweeper Li Tang, dedicated to cultivation and work every day.

Occasionally, Tang San would see Pretty Girl at the academy, seeming no different from usual, paying him no attention. It seemed that after that hunt, Pretty Girl, too, had entered a period of calm.

On the side of Redemption Academy, there were also no signs of activity after the leader of the Diamond Bears had been killed.

About a week later, when Tang San returned to Redemption Academy, Zhang Haoxuan proactively sought him out and told him that the place was ready for him.

The next day happened to be Tang San\'s day off; he didn\'t have to do any work at Jiali Academy. Early in the morning, under Zhang Haoxuan\'s guidance, they entered the Jiali mountain range once again.

After entering the mountain range, teacher and disciple moved deeper, past the area of the umbrella canopy they had been to before, continued northward, and crossed several peaks. Zhang Haoxuan led Tang San into a valley.

The valley was filled with rolling hills, steep and rugged terrain, and noticeably sparse vegetation due to the rocky landscape.

Between the hills and a mountain peak, the sound of running water could be faintly heard. It was a small waterfall, not very large.

At the base of the waterfall was a pond, covering an area of several hundred square meters.

The azure blue water of the pool was crystal clear to the bottom, and one could vaguely see some fish swimming leisurely.

"There are seldom any Demon Beasts in this area because of the sparse vegetation and the lack of natural treasures. The northern part of the Jiali mountain range has always been referred to as barren land, which is why Monsters rarely come here. I discovered this waterfall by chance. Inside the waterfall, there happens to be a cave. I carved a passage through the back of the cave in my early years, in case our Redemption Academy needed a place to hide. That\'s where I\'ve sent the girls. What do you think?"

Tang San smiled and said, "With mountains and water, it\'s very nice!"

While they spoke, the teacher and disciple had already arrived by the pond.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Here, we can gather some wild vegetables, and there are also fish from the pond, which should be enough for their daily needs."

"You\'ve thought of everything, Teacher," Tang San complimented.

"I\'ll take you inside." As he spoke, Zhang Haoxuan leapt up, his hands waving, and a hot gust of wind rolled up the descending waterfall, instantly dispersing a large amount of water vapor. Tang San released the wind element from his body, supporting himself and following Zhang Haoxuan into the air.

The waterfall was pulled aside, revealing a cave behind it wide enough for two people to walk through side by side. The cave seemed dark and one couldn\'t see the inside properly.

They descended into the cave, and with a stretch of Zhang Haoxuan\'s left hand, a bunch of flames lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

The cave was somewhat damp, but as they entered and progressed, the terrain sloped upwards. After walking a few dozen meters, the damp feeling had faded significantly.

Under Zhang Haoxuan\'s guidance, the two continued to move deeper. After traveling roughly thirty to forty meters, they faintly heard voices from ahead.

"Who, who\'s there?" a frail voice asked.

"It\'s me," Zhang Haoxuan said in a deep voice. He continued to lead Tang San upward, turning a corner, and suddenly their view opened up as daylight filtered in from behind and above, illuminating the cavern before them.

The terrain here was at least fifty meters higher than the pond area. The cave was cool and dry, and the passage leading upward behind them was where the light seeped through, presumably the tunnel that Zhang Haoxuan had mentioned before.

This cavern was about five to six hundred square meters and seven to eight meters high, appearing very spacious. On a flat area to one side, several beds with bedding were laid out, and a dozen human girls, dressed more or less modestly, gathered together looking quite unsettled.

Tang San hadn\'t paid much attention to them during the auction, but now that he was closer, he could see them more clearly.

These girls, human vassals of the Red Fox Tribe, each had pretty features and were mostly around fourteen or fifteen years old. They had lovely looks, especially their beautiful eyes. Despite their evident fear, their gazes still flitted about with a hint of coquettish charm, a clear trait inherited from their Fox Tribe bloodline. When not undergoing Demon God Transformation, they looked no different from humans in other aspects.

Furthermore, the mixing of Fox Tribe bloodline with the human bloodline resulted in figures with slender waists and long legs, surpassing their faces in beauty. This was also why they were so popular at the auction.

As Tang San observed them, they also scrutinized him. Seeing Zhang Haoxuan, they visibly relaxed, but upon noticing Tang San behind him, curiosity tinged their expressions.

Although Tang San\'s cultivation and physical refinement had given him a stature beyond his age, youthfulness still lingered in his appearance. No matter how one looked at him, he was about the same age as the girls. In reality, Tang San was only eleven years old.

"Senior Zhang, hello," the leading girl said, bowing slightly to Zhang Haoxuan, and the other girls followed her lead.

Zhang Haoxuan replied with a smile, "No need to be formal. Let me introduce you to the person I told you about, the one who truly purchased you. He will be your future master."

As he spoke, he pulled Tang San to the front.

Master? Tang San was momentarily taken aback.

The girls were also surprised but quickly followed the lead of the first girl and respectfully greeted Tang San, their voices tender, "Master."

Although this was Tang San\'s third life, he had always been dedicated to a single love. In his previous life, though some women had shown affection for him, only his wife was in his heart. Now, faced with eighteen girls from the Red Fox Tribe calling him master, he couldn\'t help feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Teacher, this..."

Zhang Haoxuan gave him a meaningful look and said through a voice transmission, "If you want to ensure their loyalty, and since they must know some of your secrets, it is imperative to establish firm and stable rules. Also, such a position is the easiest for them to accept given their current state of mind. We can talk about the future later. For now, to maintain stability and realize your plans, this status is best."

After hearing his words, Tang San\'s mind processed swiftly and saw the logic. These girls, who had been trained as slaves, needed time to change their mindset. They required education, a stable life to build confidence, and a fresh outlook on life, something not to rush.

"Don\'t be polite. What are your names?" Tang San asked. After a brief awkwardness, he regained his composure; after all, having lived three lifetimes, he was not shy around women.

The leading girl said, "My name is Red One, and they are named from Red Two to Red Eighteen."

Tang San\'s mouth twitched slightly at their simplistic naming.

Nodding his head, he said to the eighteen girls, "From today on, you must follow my words and obey my commands. I will provide you with a life that is normal, or even better than normal, and I can offer you a future. You will emerge from the shadows of slavery and never become the plaything of any being."
