Sucker No. 1 and Unlucky Guy No. 2

The little ball swayed and slowly gave an "Mm."

Tang Ling was so irritated she laughed. She reached out and flicked it. "You lost to such an idiot? No wonder He personally sent me here!"

Her second life had been randomly selected!

"It pulled in an ordinary person. To ensure the next generation, it would definitely make the Daughter of the Heavenly Dao a Soul Beast. For an ordinary person to fall for a beast, it must have used its origin to conceal the heavenly secrets. And with something this major happening, you didn't notice at all!" Tang Ling gritted her teeth and squeezed the ball in frustration.

A world could only possess one kind of origin. If another origin operated within it, the Heavenly Dao would definitely notice.

Ah, though there were exceptions—like the one before her.

"It already concealed the heavenly secrets and even used its origin, so why didn't it succeed?" Tang Ling took a deep breath and continued questioning it.

The Heavenly Dao was unreliable. She could only rely on herself!

"The Son of the Heavenly Dao awakened, so it personally took control of him. Later, it suffered a backlash." The little ball thought for a moment before answering. "The Grand Dao said that after it suffered the backlash, the world's course of operation collapsed, so I automatically restarted the world.

"But restarting the world required repairs, and it consumed a tremendous amount of my origin. The Grand Dao noticed me, then came to wake me up."

"The foreign Heavenly Dao is very powerful, and it hasn't perished." After hearing everything, Tang Ling nodded, then poked it and stated firmly.

The little ball swayed excitedly. "You're so smart! It wasn't obliterated when the world restarted, and after the restart, it resumed its plan.

"After I defeated it, the Grand Dao suppressed it. Since I couldn't destroy it, the Son of the Heavenly Dao couldn't be replaced either."

"And the Grand Dao said that this visitor from another world is highly compatible with this world. It wants you to help me remove the mark on him, then grant him a new blessing from the Heavenly Dao." The little ball swayed back and forth, excitement filling its voice.

Though the Son of the Heavenly Dao had been found by the foreign Heavenly Dao, this promising seedling would ultimately belong to it. Things snatched from others were always sweeter, especially when snatched from an enemy.

Tang Ling nodded and organized the information she had learned, listing her task—so long as she rescued the Son of the Heavenly Dao, she could break the previous course of events.

Then the operation of this world could be completely set right.

Very good. Not difficult!

Tang Ling raised an eyebrow and secretly sighed. Though the Heavenly Dao was unreliable, she and her dad were very reliable.

The next step was to find the Son of the Heavenly Dao.

"Do you know where the Son of the Heavenly Dao is?" Tang Ling put her things away and cheerfully poked the little ball.

Since she knew the next step, she should get to it as soon as possible. The sooner the task was completed, the sooner she could go on vacation.

"The Grand Dao said you know where he is." The little ball looked at her good mood and scooted over to rub against her.

"How would I know? I've only been here for a little over three years." Tang Ling continued poking it. "Did you forget, so you said that?"

The little ball exploded at once upon hearing the doubt, bouncing all over the place. "My memory is excellent! I remembered everything the Grand Dao said! The Grand Dao said you and him formed a Soul Contract!"

"A Soul Contract? I did form a one-sided contract with someone before, but he isn't in this world..." Tang Ling raised a hand to hold it down, frowning in confusion.

"No!" Tang Ling suddenly released the little ball, crossed her legs, and sat down to inspect her soul.

A one-sided Soul Contract was easily concealed, much less when it was concealed by the Heavenly Dao.

Sure enough! Tang Ling looked at the white thread extending from her soul and let out a deep sigh.

It really was him!

Time flowed at a similar rate in both worlds. She had never expected him to die so young. Had life in the Tang Sect been that difficult?

"It really knows how to pick people. He'd been stubborn since childhood, and he was plagued by bad luck. It was only expected that it would eventually suffer a backlash." Tang Ling rubbed her chest, suppressed the trace of worry there, and smiled as she mocked it.

Accidents could always happen. Even if she had left him a way out, he could still have been plotted against.

And this time, he was the target of her mission. She would definitely protect him again.

"Then it really is an idiot." The little ball chuckled, sounding rather gleeful at its misfortune.

"What are you secretly laughing about? That person will be your Son of the Heavenly Dao next!" Tang Ling looked at it and sighed.

The little ball froze, then pounced onto her hand. "Then if I give him a few more blessings, will he become a little luckier?"

Without waiting for Tang Ling's answer, it began muttering to itself. "If he has good luck, he'll become even more powerful than before! That means I'm stronger than that foreign Heavenly Dao!"

After comparing them, Little Heavenly Dao began chuckling again.

Tang Ling's eyes curved with amusement as she raised a hand and poked it. It might not have been very reliable, but it truly was pure and kind. No wonder it had been coveted.

"Little Ling'er, tell me about him. That way, I can get along with him better and let him live better than before the restart, so I can surpass that bad guy." The ball slowly floated onto her hand and began rolling around.

Little Heavenly Dao naturally knew how cute this incarnation of itself was. Otherwise, it would not have been squeezed and poked so many times.

Tang Ling looked at the ball in her hand and was completely charmed by its cuteness. She gently poked it, laughter glimmering in her eyes as her memories were drawn back to her previous life.

"Him? His name is Tang San. He was an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect. He was somewhat obsessive by nature and sought perfection in everything he did. He had a real talent for making hidden weapons.

"Unfortunately, the high-martial world where the Tang Sect was located valued bloodline inheritance. No matter how capable Tang San was, he could only waste away in the outer sect."

"How did you and Little Tang San meet, then? Were you an outer sect disciple too?" Little Heavenly Dao watched the person lost in memories and asked softly.

"We..." Tang Ling's gaze turned distant, as though she could see that stubborn black-haired youth. "We met in the Library Pavilion."

"I was the daughter of the Tang Sect's leader. Everyone called me Little Senior Sister. My task in that world was to break the rigid system of family inheritance."

Tang San was smart, but ignorant of worldly matters. In the outer sect promotion competition I created, someone took his place, leaving him unable to enter the inner sect.

For some reason, that boy got it into his head to secretly learn an Inner Sect Skill.

"Then you caught him!" Little Heavenly Dao saw Tang Ling's smile and happily chimed in. "I didn't expect him to be so naughty."

"Hahaha, that was just him being stubborn!" Tang Ling was amused by its words. "I often inspected the outer sect, and everyone knew me. As long as he came to find me, I would definitely have stood up for him.

"But that silly boy was too single-minded. After being cheated once, he decided that everyone in the inner sect was bad. So after learning about it, my first impression of him was that he was obsessive."

"Was he always like that?" Little Heavenly Dao listened to Tang Ling with a smile, but suddenly bounced up and asked worriedly.

Tang Ling was stumped by the question. After pondering for a moment, she nodded solemnly. "At least before I came here, he was always like that."

This earned her an anxious little ball that bounced around wildly. "Ah! Then how am I supposed to get along with him? I still want to surpass that bad guy."

Tang Ling looked at it with a smile but did not respond. Little Heavenly Dao's not-so-bright manner really does resemble Tang San's inflexible temperament.

Fortunately, Tang Ling sighed in relief, Tang San was smart and fairly obedient.

"Hey, stop laughing, Little Ling'er! Help me think of something!" Seeing that Tang Ling was ignoring it, Little Heavenly Dao crashed into her hand and began bouncing around.

"Alright, alright." Tang Ling held it down. "Little Tang San may be stubborn, but he's smart and obedient. And since I was the one who guided him, he listens to me fairly well.

"When the time comes, just stay by my side. I'll introduce the two of you, alright?"

Tang Ling rarely coaxed others. Her gentle words turned Little Heavenly Dao into a pink ball.

It rubbed against Tang Ling's palm and accepted her suggestion. The Grand Dao had said to follow all of Tang's niece's arrangements. Its greatest strength was obedience. It would definitely remember the Grand Dao's words and follow Little Ling'er properly.
