"Child, you cannot leave yet."

"I haven't finished speaking. I know you cannot fully trust me yet, but you must listen to me."

"Only by following my arrangements and guidance can you make proper progress."

Watching Tang Wulin's expression gradually grow solemn, Tang San felt a moment of anxiety and hurriedly continued.

With his high intellect, he naturally could see the vigilance and suspicion in the person before him, but... he was this person's biological father!

Moreover, the seal on the Golden Dragon King bloodline was so dangerous; without the guidance of a God King like himself, the boy would have no path but death!

"I hope you can believe me, okay?"

"..."

"Senior, it is not that I don't believe you."

I don't believe a single word you say.

Tang Wulin's face remained calm, but he felt secret disdain in his heart. This piece-of-trash Old Tang spoke more sweetly than he sang; did he really think he could fool him like some ignorant child?

Perhaps the other party truly had a way to resolve the Golden Dragon King issue and could help him through his trials, but then again...

Where did those trials come from in the first place?

He feared they had everything to do with this man!

"You see, you still don't believe me."

"Very well, it seems I must tell you."

"Actually, I am your father."

At this moment, Tang San sighed, and in his helplessness, he blurted it out.

He had originally not wanted to reveal this explosive information to the other party, but under the current circumstances, he had to tell him...

"What did you say!"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin was stunned, his eyes widening instantly as he stared fixedly at Tang San.

His eyes revealed a complex expression: confusion! Surprise! Anger... it was anger to the extreme!

"I said, I am your father. I am the legendary Tang..."

Tang San was very satisfied with Tang Wulin's reaction. In his view, his son was simply too happy and excited to speak.

But before he could finish, the person before him moved.

In Tang Wulin's hand, a hammer condensed from Blue Silver Grass instantly smashed toward him!

"Blue Silver Has Spirit, Hammer of Blue Silver!"

"Bang--"

"Wulin, what are you doing!"

Tang San said in surprise, casually pressing down on the hammer. Even without using much force, the residual impact sent Tang Wulin flying backward.

"You're asking me what I'm doing?"

"You're my father? I'm your grandfather!"

"Do you have any shame? Do you have any shame at all!"

Tang Wulin stood up angrily, gripping the hammer condensed from his martial soul tightly, his rage uncontainable.

"I don't care who you are, but you should never, ever insult my father or my family!"

At this moment, he was truly furious.

His parents had always been the most important part of his heart.

His dream was simple: to become a powerful soul master, whether a Soul Elder or a Soul Grand Master, he didn't need to be too strong—he just wanted to provide a good life for his mom and dad.

Yet this Old Tang, who had popped out of nowhere, had the audacity to shamelessly claim to be his father?

Was there no law? Was there no reason!

"No, child, you..."

Tang San wore a look of helplessness, looking at the wide-eyed boy before him, momentarily at a loss for words.

What a truly filial son...

But he was the boy's actual biological father!

"Is it possible that he is not your biological father, and that I am your real father..."

"Bang--"

Before Tang San could get a response, the hammer—which felt like a plastic toy to him—smashed toward him once more. Regarding this, he sighed helplessly.

"Child, it's useless. You cannot hurt me."

"Although this consciousness of mine is incomplete, dealing with a greenhorn like you is no problem at all."

Tang San couldn't help but say.

"If you keep talking."

"I will make you pay the price, even if it costs me my life."

Tang Wulin let out a cold snort, his expression turning gloomy.

"Fine, fine!"

"You will understand eventually, Wulin. Perhaps you cannot fully grasp my identity, but I must tell you that I bear you no ill will."

Tang San said helplessly.

"Next, I will tell you a series of methods to face the Golden Dragon King Seal. The eighteen seals of the Golden Dragon King become increasingly difficult; you must treat them with the utmost seriousness. The slightest carelessness will leave you facing the risk of exploding and dying..."

"Of course, it is not without its benefits. Every time you break a seal, you will gain power that ordinary people do not possess!"

"Death...?"

Upon learning that he faced the risk of exploding and dying, Tang Wulin frowned, showing an expression of fear for the first time.

He didn't care about being powerful, but death...

For a nine-year-old child like him, this word was almost unimaginable. If he died, he would never see his mom and dad again, and his mom and dad would likely spend their days washing their faces with tears...

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin clenched his fists, trembling. "Tell me, how can I survive?"

"You guy, you must be able to solve the Golden Dragon King problem!"

Even if this Old Tang was unreliable, he had to learn something from him—at the very least, the solution to the Golden Dragon King!

"Solving it is difficult."

"But you don't need to be afraid, Wulin. As long as you listen to my arrangements, you will absolutely be able to live on."

"The first seal of the Golden Dragon King is the easiest. Afterward, you can go search for ten-year-level spirit items: Ice Spirit Fruit, Fire Spirit Fruit, and the blood of dragon-type soul beasts."

Tang San smiled slightly and spoke eloquently, failing to notice that Tang Wulin's brow was furrowing deeper and deeper.

Spirit fruits and the blood of soul beasts...

Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?

He couldn't imagine how scary death was, but he was very aware of money. These things sounded expensive; wouldn't they cost hundreds of thousands?

"I haven't even managed to scrape together the money to pay back Big Brother Lu Li for my soul spirit yet. It seems this debt of gratitude..."

"Will have to wait a while longer."

Tang Wulin muttered to himself, feeling guilty. To survive, he would have to work even harder to earn money in the future!

"Old Tang, I have another question."

"Where exactly is this place? Can I only communicate with you here, or..."

"Do I have the autonomy to enter this place?"

Tang Wulin suddenly thought of something. His gaze swept across the surrounding environment as he continued to ask.

"I forgot to mention that."

"Wulin, this is your mental world. It contains the Golden Dragon King's seal, as well as my existence."

"Coming here does not affect anything in the real world; your physical body is simply in a state of sleep. You have the autonomy to come here, and you can leave at any time."

Tang San said slowly.

"In other words, I can leave, right? Old Tang, I'm very tired today, so I won't chat with you anymore. Goodbye."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately made up his mind.

"Hey, don't go yet!"

"Wulin, actually I am really your fath—"

"Hey, don't go!"

Tang San was stunned and spoke in a hurry, but before he could finish, Tang Wulin slowly spat out two words:

"Idiot!"

"..."

"Is this really my son?"

Tang San gritted his teeth in anger. How could this brat curse his own biological father!

"I originally thought he had the demeanor of my youth, but now it seems like there was a genetic mutation?"

"What on earth did Wulin's adoptive parents raise him into? Aside from being filial, how does he compare to me?"

Tang San clutched his chest in agony. It hurt, it hurt so much!

"What a sin!"

"..."

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

Tang Wulin regained his senses, his eyes wide as he stared at the ceiling. His face wore a complex expression; clearly, everything that had just happened was not easy to accept.

Golden Dragon King Seal.

The risk of exploding and dying.

And that damn idiot Old Tang.

No matter which one it was, it made his scalp tingle. He was only a six-year-old child; how could he have ended up with these things?

"I'm just an ordinary person with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Why does heaven have to bully me like this..."

Tang Wulin sighed. He didn't even need the Golden Dragon King Seal's ability to enhance his talent, because he had never thought about becoming stronger.

But right now...

He had no autonomy.

"If only Brother Lu Li were here."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but think. Whenever he felt helpless, Brother Lu Li was always his greatest hope.

As he thought about it, his imagination couldn't help but run wild:

"If only Brother Lu Li could get inside my head. That way, since he's so powerful..."

"He would definitely be able to punch Old Tang to death!"

Only then did a smile appear on Tang Wulin's face, the corners of his mouth curling upward uncontrollably.

"..."

Listening to Tang Wulin's inner voice, Tang San wanted to say something but held back.

Child, that is not funny at all.

"However..."

"Who is Lu Li?"

"Judging by Wulin's inner voice, he seems to be a very important person to him. Could he be a Title Douluo?"

Tang San silently memorized the name. If he really were a powerhouse, that would be great; perhaps it could make Wulin's path of growth smoother.

"..."

[Lu Li, have you arrived at your place?]

[I was so happy to see you today, hehe. Thank you for taking me to eat delicious food. How about I treat you next time?]

[If you don't have any objections, I'll take you out for a candlelight dinner next time.]

[If you don't reply, I'll take it as you agreeing, hehe.]

[Why aren't you replying to me yet?]

[Are you there?]

[Goodnight.]

"..."

In Tiandou City, Lu Li dried his body after a shower and looked at the string of messages on his communicator, smiling helplessly.

Adding friends really was a troublesome affair.

He hadn't considered whether the other party might hack into his location, but dealing with messages was a chore in itself.

[Just finished showering.]

He sent a reply casually, and the next moment, the other party's messages followed one after another:

[Let me see (lewd)]

Lu Li: "..."

[Nanalie, looking at everything will only harm you.]

"How could it possibly harm me?"

"It's clearly a reward for me."

On the other end of the connection, Nanalie was currently lying on her bed, swinging her little feet with a beautiful smile on her face, murmuring to herself.

A Lu Li who just finished showering...

Wouldn't that be like a fragrant, soft little cake?

As she thought about it, Nanalie's face flushed red, and her eyes seemed to be filled with little hearts.

"Sigh~"

"I really want to fall in love!"

"..."

Lu Li: Do you want to fall in love, or do you just want to do it?

Nanalie: I want to do it, I want to do everything with you.

Lu Li: ?
