"I didn't expect to be forcibly kissed."

"This Nanalie, I was wondering why she didn't react at all when I said I was leaving; turns out it was..."

Feeling the lipstick mark left on his cheek, Lu Li was clearly caught off guard. Who would have thought that such a top-tier powerhouse would pull a surprise attack?

Who could imagine this is something a level 98 powerhouse would do?

"Kissing and running away is even more surprising than just the kiss itself."

"That Nanalie..."

A cold look flashed across Lu Li's face. He had been played by her; Nanalie, I'll remember this.

Later on, you had better stay this arrogant...

"Master, that Nanalie likes you!"

"She definitely likes you!"

"But why did she come over and take a bite out of you!"

Inside the spiritual sea, Lingling, the Guang Linglong who had been granted sensory permission tonight, was furious. It was so obvious that she had feelings for her master, but there was no need to bully him like that.

Taking a bite—what a great honor!

She hadn't even taken a bite out of her master yet.

"Hmm..."

"She must be a puppy at heart."

Lu Li's expression remained calm as he replied indifferently.

"Exactly, she's such a dog!"

"Then Master, can I take a bite out of you later too?"

Lingling asked in a naive and childish tone.

"What, are you a puppy too?"

"Actually, I can be, Master."

Lu Li: "..."

He felt his intolerance for stupidity acting up; what should he do?

For a moment, he shook his head helplessly and turned to head toward the accommodation Zhen Hua had arranged for him.

"..."

"Kiss and run, touch and leave, yay!"

As the perpetrator, Nanalie had already returned to her house in Tiandou City. She leaned back on the sofa, feeling happy, and said with a beaming smile.

Thinking of the surprised and bewildered expression on Lu Li's face at the time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of immense pleasure, and she even wanted to continue...

"Today, Lu Li treated me to delicious grilled skewers. I forgot exactly what I ate, I only remember his face was soft, I want to kiss him again next time..."

Nanalie took out a notebook and silently recorded it, the smile on her face growing ever wider.

If only she could be with him forever, eating late-night snacks like this, strolling together, then going back to rest and doing some positive, wholesome things...

"Next time we meet."

"I won't let you go, little Lu Li."

A red light flashed in her eyes as she pursed her lips and smiled.

But the next time they meet...

It will probably be quite a while, right?

"But at least I added your contact information this time, maybe I'll be able to know where you are at some point..."

"..."

Meanwhile, Eastsea City.

Donghai Academy dormitory building.

Tang Wulin, having finished his workout, lay happily on his bed, humming a little tune in a very good mood.

He was an optimistic boy by nature, so it was hard for his mood to be bad, especially since he had met a friendly and pretty senior during his night run today.

She was the second older friend he had ever known.

The second one after Senior Mu Xi from the Blacksmith's Association. She even called him cute, which was really embarrassing...

"Phew, it's a good thing the Golden Dragon I experienced during the day was just a nightmare; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Brother Lu Li is coming tomorrow, I'll go to sleep early tonight, I hope he can figure out what's going on with me..."

Tang Wulin quickly climbed into bed and adjusted to the most comfortable position to prepare for sleep, but the moment his thoughts drifted, his consciousness suddenly went blank...

Until he arrived at a strange and mysterious place.

There was no sun or moon here; the entire space was dark, with only flickering torch-like objects providing illumination.

"This..."

"Where is this?"

A sense of foreboding rose in Tang Wulin's heart, his inner fear magnified once again, until...

The sealed Golden Dragon he had seen during the day appeared before his eyes once more, and his very breathing stopped at that moment.

"I..."

"Don't seem to be having a nightmare."

Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with confusion as he spoke, at a loss for what to do.

Could it be that there was truly a dragon inside his body?

"Child, you have come."

Just as Tang Wulin was lost in silent contemplation, a voice suddenly rang out. Hearing this abrupt human voice, he didn't feel comforted; instead, he felt terrified.

Having a dragon inside him was already scary enough...

How could there be a person, too?

He looked toward the direction of the voice and saw a mysterious man in a black robe, whose face could not be seen, walking silently out of the darkness.

"This guy..."

"Doesn't look like a good person!"

Alarm bells rang in Tang Wulin's heart. His sixth sense rarely failed him; just as he had felt that Lu Li was a good person the first time he met him, this man in black...

He probably wasn't even human!

"May I ask who you are?"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and asked.

"My name is not important; just call me Old Tang."

Tang San's divine soul looked at the Tang Wulin before him, his tone filled with unconcealable joy as he spoke.

He had finally seen his son.

Although he was currently only a sliver of divine consciousness, being able to see his son with his own eyes and even converse with him was still a fortunate blessing.

"Old Tang?"

"Who are you, and this Golden Dragon, why is it sealed inside my body?"

Tang Wulin memorized the name and then asked.

"I am a sliver of divine consciousness here to protect you; you can think of me as your guide and mentor. As for it..."

"It is the most powerful Dragon King in heaven and earth, the Golden Dragon King. After it died, it invaded your body, and three great beings placed eighteen seals upon it to restrict it, stabilizing it within you to ensure your safety so that you wouldn't explode and die."

Tang San smiled slightly and explained.

"..."

"Golden Dragon King?"

Tang Wulin glanced at the location of the Golden Dragon King and couldn't help but swallow hard. The strongest Dragon King in the world—did that not mean it was stronger than Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King?

Perhaps even...

Stronger than Lu Li's Golden Holy Dragon King?

"But why is it in my body?"

"Including you, what is the sequence of events and the cause?"

Tang Wulin quickly regained his composure and continued to ask. He felt not a shred of trust toward this strange existence.

Especially since he had once heard Lu Li tell him that there were evil things that existed only as remnant souls, sometimes residing in the bodies of geniuses to eventually perform possession...

The person before him might just be one of those!

Wearing a big black robe, he didn't look like a good person no matter how one viewed him.

"I cannot tell you the specifics, but you only need to know that what remains in your body is the bloodline seal of the Golden Dragon King."

"His power chose you, but this is not necessarily a good thing. His power is too tyrannical; with your current ability, it is difficult to withstand it."

"But as long as you follow my guidance and instruction, you will certainly be able to turn danger into safety and even obtain even greater power."

Tang San said slowly. He still could not tell the other party about the God Realm or anything about himself; for a child, the amount of information was still too great.

Within the limited scope of the conversation, this was all he could say.

"Your guidance?"

Tang Wulin wanted to say something but stopped, a peculiar emotion flashing in his eyes—it was the expression one might use when looking at a fool.

If he truly believed a person of unknown origin, then he would have wasted all the lessons Lu Li had taught him.

Could a person like this be reliable if he taught him?

"Child, I know this is all a huge shock to you, but please rest assured, with me here, these things will not be a problem. It's just that..."

"Regarding my existence, you must not tell anyone, and the same goes for the Golden Dragon King bloodline and the seal."

Tang San continued to speak.

This was also a matter of vital importance; if the Golden Dragon King bloodline and his own identity were exposed, it would not be a good thing for Tang Wulin.

But he never expected that...

His recent instruction of "don't tell anyone" only caused Tang Wulin, who was already on guard, to furrow his brows, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Old Tang, are you really not going to harm me?"

"Are you not going to lie to me?"

His expression was cold; as far as he was concerned, this so-called Old Tang was just a creepy uncle who swindled and deceived!

Listen to those words—is that something a normal person would say?

"How could I possibly lie to you..."

Tang San was stunned. He was Wulin's own father; what kind of father would scam his own son?

Especially such a good father as himself!

After his daughter became a god and ascended, there was even a book ranking fathers in the mortal realm, and he was ranked number one!

"Senior Old Tang, it's not that I don't trust you, but a friend once told me that if you encounter a promise from a stranger, it's best to ask them like this."

Tang Wulin's face remained calm. Thoughts of his previous chats with Xie Xie and the others crossed his mind, and he made a plan.

Thinking of what he was about to say, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward slightly. It might be a bit mean, but it would definitely be useful!

"Go ahead."

Tang San asked curiously.

"You swear to me."

"If you are lying, may your entire family die."

Tang Wulin looked at him and said coldly.

Tang San: "..."

Beneath the black robe, Tang San was visibly stunned.

May his entire family die?

Are you saying... your grandfather Tang Hao, your grandmother Ah Yin, your father—me, and you, and even including your mother Xiao Wu, your sister Tang Wutong, and your brother-in-law Dai Yuhao, should all die?

"Child, that is not something you should say!"

At this moment, even though Tang San knew this was his own flesh and blood, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Oh? It seems the senior really does have something to hide."

Tang Wulin silently took a few steps back, his eyes cold. As expected, this so-called Old Tang was no good!

His request was actually very simple.

This trick was taught to him by Xiao Feng.

According to him, if you encounter a difficult question, most people won't answer, but bad people are different; they will bite the bullet and answer.

And such a vicious oath might be a bit bizarre, but it was the best way to see if someone was lying. Usually, people with nothing to hide would respond readily.

And this Old Tang...

Clearly did not!

"..."

Tang San fell silent. Did he really have to say it?

Who on earth had raised his precious son to be like this? What kind of son scams his own father!

"I, Old Tang, swear that if I am lying to you."

"May my entire family die!"

In the end, Tang San gritted his teeth and said it in one breath. Anyway, he said "Old Tang," not "Tang San"!

"Good, Senior, I know your kindness. There is a bit too much information today, so I will take my leave first."

Tang Wulin appeared calm on the surface, but he was already sneering in his heart. This Old Tang was indeed a swindler with ulterior motives!

Just listen to him...

Hypocritical and sanctimonious!

He wouldn't say much more, but the most outrageous thing was that he didn't even use his real name when swearing!

He sounded so sincere, acting like a mentor. I'm afraid the "mentoring" is fake, and his true intention is to wait for me to master the Golden Dragon King bloodline before possessing my body.

"What 'Old Tang'..."

"I see nothing but a shameless scoundrel who left behind a remnant soul just to ensure his own plans proceed smoothly!"
