Getting Goku to Open Up

Jiang Ling brought Future Chi-Chi down and explained what had happened in the future.

Chi-Chi's eyes immediately filled with tears as she put herself in Future Chi-Chi's shoes.

After all, this was what would happen to her in the future.

She took Future Chi-Chi inside, and the two started chatting like close friends.

Meanwhile, Goku and Gohan were still standing there, stunned.

"Jiang Ling, is what you just said true? Will Gohan and I die at the hands of the androids in the future?"

Jiang Ling nodded and said gravely, "Yes, that's what happens. Trunks came back to warn you about it."

"If you start preparing now, the androids won't be a threat."

Jiang Ling didn't tell them he could already defeat the androids.

That might make them slack off.

He knew Goku wouldn't slack off, but it was better to be safe.

After all, Earth's future still depended on them.

He just wanted to live a cozy life with his wife and children.

Goku and Gohan nodded.

"Two Chi-Chis..."

Goku looked troubled.

One Chi-Chi was already more than enough for him to handle.

Now there were two...

"Two moms?"

Gohan looked dazed, as if he could already see two moms supervising his homework in the future.

Jiang Ling glanced at them.

Seeing Goku's reaction, he furrowed his brow slightly.

Then he turned to Gohan.

"Gohan, go inside and keep your mom company. I'll talk to your dad for a while."

"Okay."

After sending Gohan away, Jiang Ling put an arm around Goku's shoulders and asked, "Goku, do you really like Chi-Chi?"

"Of course I do!"

Goku answered at once.

"How often do you two... you know?" Jiang Ling asked.

He figured there had to be a reason a naturally gentle woman like Chi-Chi had turned into such an overbearing housewife.

She must have been unable to let off steam in some way, which had made her behavior more and more extreme.

"What do you mean?" Goku scratched his head.

Jiang Ling leaned close to Goku's ear and explained what men and women did together.

Goku's face reddened as he listened.

"I... I don't think I've ever done that..."

Huh?

Then how had Gohan come along?

"What about kissing? Mouth to mouth."

Jiang Ling asked again.

"Eww..." Goku looked disgusted. "Isn't that dirty?"

Jiang Ling: "???"

"Goku, think carefully. Are you sure you've never done that kind of thing with Chi-Chi?"

"Hmm..." Goku bit his finger and thought hard. Suddenly, inspiration struck.

"Oh, right! On the night Chi-Chi and I got married, I got drunk. I vaguely remember Chi-Chi taking off my clothes..."

Jiang Ling: "..."

So that was it!

He'd found the reason Chi-Chi had become so short-tempered!

He couldn't believe Goku was so thickheaded!

After thinking it over, Jiang Ling decided to change Goku's outlook and help his family become a little happier.

He took out a flash drive.

He handed it to Goku, saying it was an educational resource.

It would be best to send Gohan to Master Roshi's place for a few days, then watch it at home with Chi-Chi.

Ideally, at night!

Goku accepted the flash drive, only half understanding.

He promised he'd do exactly as Jiang Ling said.

Jiang Ling put away the Time Machine and left Mount Paozu.

As he flew through the air, he took out his phone.

He had a signal.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned on his phone, messages came pouring in.

Most of them were from Yamcha.

As his agent in Earth's entertainment industry, Yamcha handled all sorts of things for him.

The messages were about which engagements he'd missed and whether he wanted to accept others.

There were also requests for songs and invitations to variety shows.

Some even asked him to serve as a mentor on Earth's Best Singer.

Jiang Ling thought it over and decided to leave the entertainment industry for now.

He'd made enough money, after all.

He messaged Yamcha to explain, then asked him to find a talented man named Satan and train him to become a martial arts superstar.

Of course, even if his fighting ability wasn't impressive, they could always build up his image.

Satan was exactly the sort of man who knew how to put on a show.

Jiang Ling returned to his villa.

There was no one there, but not a speck of dust could be seen.

The only person he could think of who would do that was Bulma.

Of course, she must have hired a few people to help keep the place clean on a regular basis.

A villa this large would be too much for one person to manage.

Bulma wasn't there.

Jiang Ling shook his head.

Of course she wouldn't wait at the villa every day. She had scientific research to do and everyday matters to take care of.

Even he couldn't spend every day waiting for someone to come home.

Jiang Ling thought it over, then smiled.

He headed straight for Bulma's home.

When he arrived at her enormous estate, he had barely touched down when he saw Mrs. Brief watering the plants.

He greeted her.

"Hi, Mrs. Brief."

Mrs. Brief turned around. When she saw Jiang Ling, her lovely face lit up with a smile. "Oh, it's Bulma's boyfriend! Have you come to see her?"

"Yes, Mrs. Brief."

"Don't call me Mrs. Brief. Call me Mom."

"Uh... Auntie Brief?"

"That'll do. Bulma's in the Research Lab. You know the way, right?"

"I do."

Jiang Ling said goodbye to Mrs. Brief and went to the Research Lab.

The first thing he saw was a young Bulma in work clothes, repairing a machine.

When she saw Jiang Ling, her eyes lit up. She dropped her wrench and threw herself into his arms, still wearing her grimy work clothes.

"Jiang Linglingling~~~"

"I missed you so much!"

Jiang Ling stroked her short blue hair and smiled fondly. "I missed you too."

Suddenly, Bulma sensed something was off.

Her delicate nose twitched as she sniffed him, catching the scent of another woman on him!

She pushed Jiang Ling away and demanded, "Have you been fooling around with another woman?"

"No!" Jiang Ling answered seriously. "The only person I've ever fooled around with is Bulma!"

"Then why do you smell like another woman?"

"Future Bulma is still Bulma! You know I love you, and when I saw her with a face just like yours, I couldn't help myself..."

Jiang Ling scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.

"Get lost!" Bulma kicked Jiang Ling out. "You scumbag!"

Jiang Ling scratched his head and spread his hands helplessly.

After all, he really was in the wrong.

Although this Earth encouraged monogamy and polygamy...

When all was said and done, Jiang Ling just hadn't been able to control himself.

But what was done was done, and he wasn't going to hide it.

Although he spent the night alone,

he was perfectly happy with that.

Because Future Bulma had been so fierce!

He still hadn't recovered.

A woman who'd been deprived for so long really was fierce!
