Tang Po

Su Mutian quickened his pace.

He was afraid Tang Chen might lose his head, break his promise, and carry the child away.

If father and son wandered the world together, that would be GG!

But surely it would not come to that, right?

Tang Chen was, after all, a mighty Limit Douluo, an existence incredibly close to a god. If he went back on his word, then his character really was too awful.

Besides, Su Mutian really was not a bad person.

Leaving this child on Sea God Island was the safest outcome.

Su Mutian asked himself: though he wanted to survive safely in this world, and did harbor a "little" hostility toward Tang San.

He was not so devoid of limits and principles that he would stoop to laying a vicious hand on a child.

If this whole family did not threaten his survival.

Then at most, he would benevolently teach him the correct outlook on life, values, and worldview, all right?

But if they were destined to become enemies, then sorry, forget what he had just said. The tragic overnight annihilation of the Tang Family was carried out on his orders.

Besides, thirty years from now, he would not dare boast about producing a Titled Douluo, but returning him as a Soul Sage would still be very easy.

Could you find such a good deal anywhere else?

Impossible.

For such an outstanding teacher plus a base for raising sea children, if you wanted to hire one with money, could you get one without a monthly salary of several hundred or several thousand Gold Soul Coins?

No way.

He pushed open the door.

A well-behaved little boy sat on the steps, swinging his legs. Sunlight spilled in through the swaying window and shone over the purple stone slabs.

The boy was not exactly handsome, but he was not ugly either. He looked very clean.

Looking at him, Su Mutian immediately thought of Tang San in childhood. He had not been particularly handsome either, but he had been fresh and clean.

They looked like people molded from the same template.

But who could have imagined that this little fellow, who had not even awakened his Soul Power yet, was the culprit behind the four-god war of later generations?

Su Mutian believed that after his remolding, the future would definitely become even more beautiful, even faster.

Su Mutian strolled over slowly, gradually crouched down, patted the child's head, and asked with a smile, "What's your name? How old are you?"

The child stared at Su Mutian with two big sparkling eyes, dazed and blank.

At first, Su Mutian thought his tone, or perhaps something else he had done, had been wrong and frightened Tang Chen's only son.

He was just about to soothe him when, unexpectedly, he caught sight of the child's drool dripping out...

Tang Po said foolishly, "I... my name is Tang Po. Granny says I'm six."

Tang Po.

It was over.

That dumb look.

Tang Chen's son had a screw loose!

No wonder the legends of the Clear Sky Sect had nothing about Tang Po. It was simply black history.

"I heard from the Sea Charm Tribe that Tang Po's name was chosen by his mother herself. It means the sun rises at dawn and sets on Tang Mountain."

Bo Saixi explained.

Most matters had been arranged by her, so she knew some details too.

"The sun rises at dawn and sets on Tang Mountain."

Su Mutian murmured it softly. This former Sea Charm Tribe Saintess was truly devoted. Even the child's name had been chosen with Tang Chen in mind.

"Six years old. He is at the age to awaken his Martial Soul." Su Mutian looked at Bo Saixi as he spoke.

Bo Saixi said with lingering meaning, "It is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Who would have thought that the Limit Douluo who stormed Sea God Island and caused trouble back then was such a philanderer. If he dares come again, I'll make him pay."

How could Tang Chen have expected this?

For no reason at all, he had gained another enemy.

As for how Bo Saixi knew this was Tang Chen's child.

She had only guessed.

Although the Sea Charm Tribe had now been newly brought under Sea God Island's unified administration, Bo Saixi knew that the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess had extremely high standards.

And over the years, she had constantly been instilled by her clansmen with thoughts of resisting men.

If that person had not been outstanding enough, there was absolutely no way he could have attracted her.

And with such a coincidence, Tang Chen had appeared on the sea and caused a great disturbance on Sea God Island.

If there were no connection between the two.

Bo Saixi did not believe it.

"The Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one Weapon Spirit."

Su Mutian looked at Tang Po and said, "Perhaps in fifty or sixty years, your name will be among the Titled Douluo of Douluo Continent."

However.

Little Tang Po pointed at Su Mutian and said foolishly, "Sister, you're so pretty. Prettier than my mommy, prettier than this sister too."

Tang Po pointed at Bo Saixi again.

Sis... sister!

Su Mutian's face filled with question marks.

What?!

I'm a sister?

If someone is pretty, they're a sister?

If someone is prettier than your mom, they're a sister?

Calm down, calm down. Children's words carry no harm, children's words carry no harm.

Su Mutian forced out a faint smile.

This child was not stupid at all.

He was hopelessly addicted to feminine beauty!

Damn brat!

"Little Po, I am an older brother. She is an older sister. I'm just like you. We're both men."

Su Mutian calmed his emotions.

Who said children were angels? They were all devils.

If he did not know whether this fellow could withstand one slap from him, he would have wanted to pinch him up and kick him like a ball.

Mercy. He had gotten irritable.

That was not good.

"Pfft~"

It was truly a rare sight. Bo Saixi smiled faintly.

The scene of the Young God talking with a child was truly full of love.

The Young God really was very gentle with children.

She truly had not expected the Young God to have such a warm side.

Bo Saixi was happy inside. She had come to understand a little more about the Young God.

Seeing her smile.

Little Tang Po also giggled, waving his hands and kicking his feet. "Priestess sister looks even prettier when she smiles! Waa waa waa waa!"

Su Mutian's expression stiffened.

What the hell?

This little thing—wasn't he perfectly capable of speaking properly?

Su Mutian also turned back. "Children usually don't lie. Since he says that, it must be true. You should smile more in the future. Most importantly, smile at me."

Bo Saixi lowered her head and nodded. "Oh."

So if a little child called you sister, that must also be because you really seemed like one.

"All right, Saixi, you go out first. I want to talk with little Tang Po alone."

A moment later, Su Mutian sent Bo Saixi away.

Bo Saixi actually did not ask what he could possibly have to talk about alone with a child.

Whatever Su Mutian said, she simply did it.

Only then did Su Mutian sit beside little Tang Po and casually say to the empty side hall, "What? Did you think no one would notice you if you hid?"

A sound sliced past the window and split the air. A branch came flying in.

Su Mutian pinched two fingers together and caught it. A white paper note was wrapped around the branch.

Tang Po clapped his little hands. "Wow! Sister is so amazing, so amazing!"

"I'm an older brother!" Su Mutian said helplessly.

What on earth was Tang Chen trying to do?

Su Mutian frowned.

Did Tang Chen really think Su Mutian would not know he would secretly come over to see his son up close?

But what was with hiding and refusing to come out?

He opened the white note. It was actually a letter.

It clearly read:

The Young God's kindness, Tang Chen will remember.

The Young God is benevolent and righteous, willing to use the Sea God's Power to save my wife, and even pitying and raising my son. Looking back on the day when Brother Qian Daoliu and I caused trouble together on Sea God Island, I am truly ashamed beyond measure. I, Tang Chen, admire the Young God's breadth of mind!

Tang Chen will naturally do his utmost to follow the Young God's advice from that day.

At this moment, I have already left Sea God Island directly and returned to the continent. I will close the sect, perform good deeds without leaving my name, focus on cultivation, keep away from women, refrain from killing, and speak and act kindly toward the Sea Charm Tribe.

I hope that thirty years from now, everything will truly be as the Young God said, and Luo'er and her son will live happily and freely.

This Tang Chen.

Su Mutian pursed his lips and smiled. Repaying great kindness and all that.

There was no need, no need.

After all, he had selfish motives too.

Tang Chen being this polite instead made him feel guilty.

Still, Tang Chen's movements just now had clearly been noticed by Bo Saixi.

But Bo Saixi had not exposed him.

Clearly, she knew of Tang Chen's connection to Su Mutian.

This woman was actually extremely clever.

It was just that when facing him, she was willing to be a fool.

"Tang Po, big brother has a question for you. Who did you meet here just now?"

Tang Po narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "An uncle wearing a cute mask. He even gave me candy~"

Tang Po smacked his lips, clearly still wanting more.

An uncle wearing a cute mask.

Su Mutian thought of Tang Chen's face paired with a cute mask. It was really... way too damn out of place!

Tang Chen had not directly come to see Tang Po in the name of being his father, which was actually good. Otherwise, if the child let something slip, raising him would be troublesome.
