What Was Lost Can Never Be Found Again
After finally calming Xiao Wu down and promising to take her shopping and sightseeing in Notting City next time, Xiao Wu stopped crying and smiled, letting Tang San off the hook.
In fact, with the management of Bibi Dong and the strong support of the Dragon Gate Sect, Notting City can be said to be the largest and most prosperous city in the Douluo Continent. It is very novel for Xiao Wu, who has just left the Star Dou Great Forest. It would be even better if she could come out and play with the person she likes.
After making their appointment, Xiao Wu Tang San went back to her dormitory. Tang San had originally planned to go back with her, but he had just learned that his father, Tang Hao, was returning from patrol today, so he decided to go see his father first.
Tang San was actually quite helpless because as Notting City became more and more prosperous, many dark people and things secretly emerged, especially now that Evil Soul Master were becoming more and more rampant.
Perhaps because Yu Xiaogang vigorously promoted technological reforms, giving more commoners a chance to rise in society, and with improved nutrition, the number of low-level Soul Master gradually increased. Those Evil Soul Master who roamed the Douluo Continent set their sights on this fertile land.
After all, they are a group of Evil Soul Master who rely on human flesh and soul to cultivate. They will go wherever the cultivation resources are better. As for danger? It's laughable that they have fallen into Evil Soul Master and are not afraid of any danger. Now, nine out of ten Evil Soul Masters are not mentally sound, and the other one is brainless.
Fortunately, Yun Lan was monitoring in real time. As soon as any trace of Evil Soul Master was detected, Tang Hao would be notified to lead a team to deal with it. So Tang Hao was basically out and about every ten days to half a month, either clearing out Evil Soul Master or suppressing wandering Soul Master bandits.
Now that Liu Erlong has returned, Tang Hao can finally relax a bit and reunite with Ah Yin. It can be said that both Tang Hao Ah Yin are busy for the Dragon Gate Sect, Ah Yin has already become the hospital director.
Tang San cherished every precious moment with Tang Hao and Ah Yin Kong. As someone who had been led by Teacher Yu Xiaogang to hunt down Evil Soul Master, Tang San knew just how evil and utterly devoid of humanity those Evil Soul Masters were.
When Tang San arrived at the villa with light steps, he saw that it was usually deserted and dimly lit, but the windows were brightly lit today, and a familiar aroma wafted through the air—the smell of his mother cooking. Tang San couldn't wait to push open the door and excitedly exclaimed:
"Mom and Dad, I'm home!"
"Oh, it's you, San-ge! How's it going with your studies? Your mom made your favorite food..."
"Click!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening and his son's familiar, melodious voice, Tang Hao walked out of the kitchen carrying steaming food, talking as he went. However, when Tang Hao saw Tang San's appearance, he was startled and subconsciously used too much force, causing the fragile plate to crack.
Although Tang Hao knew that his son was a bit different from others, with a somewhat feminine appearance, at least he could still see some masculine features. So, when Liu Erlong went to the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament with Flender, and he took over a patrol mission, he disappeared.
Has her son changed that much? Tang San and her wife, Ah Yin, are practically identical now; otherwise, they wouldn't have such different demeanors and feelings. And before Tang Hao left, Tang San was just a little kid; how did he grow up so much?
"Uh... Father, I encountered a tiny problem during my cultivation. My teacher said it's nothing to worry about, and that it might even be a blessing in disguise, leading to a smooth path of cultivation. As for my appearance, it's probably just a side effect..."
Tang San felt his explanation was a bit far-fetched. Didn't he see the disbelief in his father's eyes? Tang San couldn't help it; he had optimized his cultivation technique to make himself even more feminine.
Tang San stepped forward and carefully took the plate of food from Tang Hao's hand. He believed that his father, who was obsessed with muscles, would soon get used to him. Wasn't it the same when he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline last time?
"What's wrong? Ah Hao, why are you blocking the door? Is your San-ge back? San-ge, go wash your hands, Mom will finish the last dish soon... Uh, little sister, who are you!"
Seeing Tang Hao standing motionless at the door for Jiujiu, Ah Yin thought something serious had happened. She figured that with so many Titled Douluo Dragon Gate Sect guarding this place, no one would be foolish enough to threaten her. However, when Ah Yin reached out and pushed Tang Hao aside to see what was going on, she saw a little girl who looked remarkably like herself standing awkwardly and timidly in the living room.
"Mom, it's me! Tang San, your son Tang San, don't you even recognize your San-ge?"
"Ah! You're the San-ge? Is it because Mom's been too busy with work and hasn't seen the San-ge in a long time that you're hallucinating? But in Mom's memory, the San-ge wasn't this pretty and completely girlish!"
When Ah Yin heard Tang San's question, she was momentarily confused. Although her son looked very feminine, his body still showed some signs of being a boy. Unlike her, he was just a miniature version of herself! The more Ah Yin looked at Tang San, the more he resembled a miniature version of herself.
Finally, Tang San spent a long time explaining, feeling quite helpless. At first, Tang Hao and Ah Yin didn't quite believe it. How could cultivating a Body Tempering Technique have such a significant impact on a person? In the end, Tang San, his face slightly flushed, handed the video that Ning Rongrong had filmed to Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Although Tang San felt ashamed of the video Ning Rongrong filmed, he had no choice but to show it to prove that he was his own parent. After all, they were his parents, weren't they? "Oh! This is great! I feel like all my wishes have come true. I've had San-ge so Mom can see how much taller you've grown."
After confirming several times, Ah Yin finally believed that the smaller version of herself in front of her was her son. She became excited and decided to dress him up properly, otherwise it would be a waste not to dress him up in his Tang San.
Tang Hao looked extremely conflicted. Why was his son acting more and more strangely? Fortunately, a girl had fallen for his son, otherwise he would have started to worry about Tang San's future marriage, since it would be very difficult for Tang San to find a partner in his current state.
However, when Tang Hao saw Ah Yin excitedly taking Tang San's measurements to buy new clothes, a warm smile appeared on Tang Hao's rugged face. Since Ah Yin liked his daughter so much, and now that Tang San was all grown up, he must be lonely, right? After all, Ah Yin and he were both quite busy with work, so shouldn't they give Tang San a little sister? Thinking that he hadn't been intimate with Ah Yin for a long time, and with the moon so bright today, it was a perfect time.
After dinner, Tang San escaped Ah Yin's clutches in a very disheveled state. Unexpectedly, his mother and Aunt Erlong looked exactly alike, and both wanted to dress him up after seeing his new appearance.
Tang San returned to his dormitory, still shaken, and saw Xiao Wu changing in front of a full-length mirror, dressed in her undergarments. Seeing Tang San's reflection in the mirror, she remarked:
"San-ge, have you seen your parents yet? Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes, we're going out to play! Don't keep Rongrong and the others waiting, I've already prepared hot water and a change of clothes."
"Oh... oh, okay, thank you, Xiao Wu."
Tang San answered subconsciously and then continued changing clothes naturally, without any attempt to hide the fact that he was a boy. Xiao Wu began to wonder if she was seen as a girl by others? Now even Xiao Wu was so open and unguarded with her, did she no longer have any reservations about her?
Tang San felt both happy and extremely sad, as if something had completely left him, something he could never find again. What was it? Tang San felt an emptiness in his heart.
