[Life Goddess]: Speaking of which, Chen Yu, if you ever find a girl you like, you have to let your godmother meet her.
[Life Goddess]: I want a grandchild or granddaughter, too. Xiao Zi wants one as well, right?
[God of Destruction]: ...
[Xiao Chenyu]: ...
[Xiao Chenyu]: Godmother, why are you worrying about this, too? I'm ten! Being pressured to marry wasn't enough, and now you're already pressuring me to have kids?
[Life Goddess]: Isn't it only natural for parents to worry about their child's marriage?
[Life Goddess]: Xiao Zi agrees, right?
[God of Destruction]: Mm.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Godfather, what do you mean by just saying "mm"? Shouldn't you say something on my behalf at a time like this? If Godmother's threatening you, blink twice!
[Life Goddess]: Xiao Zi?
[God of Destruction]: ...Listen to your godmother.
[Life Goddess]: See? I was right. (￣y▽￣)~* covers her mouth, snickering
[Xiao Chenyu]: ...
[Xiao Chenyu]: Henpecked!
[God of Destruction]: What did you say?
[Xiao Chenyu]: I said you really are the Divine Realm's model husband, Godfather. The Divine Realm's poster boy for good husbandly conduct. You and Godmother are a match made in heaven!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Hahahahahaha! The Avenger caved! Instantly! Even his flattery reeks of a desperate will to survive! (≧∀≦)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Oh, right. Seriously, Avenger, want a wife?
[Xiao Chenyu]: That's enough already!
Xiao Chenyu was covered in black lines.
Once this Douluo Planet woman got started on her nonsense, she never stopped.
If he didn't cut her off, she'd list every woman she knew who could transform into human form.
But the instant he sent that message, a brand-new system notification suddenly popped up on the Chat Group panel.
[ding! Titan Giant Ape has joined the Avengers Chat Group!]
Xiao Chenyu's finger froze in midair.
"Titan Giant Ape?"
He stared wide-eyed at the conspicuous system notification on the screen, his mind racing.
"If he can join the Avengers, that means Titan Giant Ape was also someone Tang San screwed over."
"I just wonder which point in time this Titan Giant Ape is from. The one who sacrificed himself for Tang San?"
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Ooh, a new member! Welcome, welcome! ٩(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Tang San's luck took a hit earlier, and the Chat Group unlocked some more of its power. That just happened to let us bring in a new member.
[Titan Giant Ape]: Looks like that stunt you pulled on Tang San last time really paid off, Avenger.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: By the way, Avenger, don't worry about the hassle of welcoming newcomers. The Chat Group automatically sends new members all the background information, so you don't have to explain everything from scratch every time.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: The great group owner thought things through very carefully when she designed this feature. ʕ•͈⚇•͈ʔ
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Group owner! Amazing!
[God of Destruction]: Titan Giant Ape? That gorilla? Wasn't he one of Tang San's people?
[Life Goddess]: Well, there must be a reason he was able to join the Avengers.
[Life Goddess]: Whoever they are, anyone Tang San has screwed over is one of us.
[Life Goddess]: Anyway, welcome aboard, new friend.
Sure enough, the next second, a hearty, booming voice rang out in the group.
[Titan Giant Ape]: Avenger! Which one of you is the Avenger?
[Titan Giant Ape]: Please, save Sister Xiao Wu! Keep her away from Tang San! That scum doesn't deserve to be with Sister Xiao Wu!!!
[Titan Giant Ape]: I'll get on my knees and beg you! I really have no other choice! You're the only one I can ask!!!
Xiao Chenyu stared at the stream of exclamation marks on the screen, stunned for a beat by the desperation pouring off them.
Sister Xiao Wu?
The only one who'd call her that was the Forest King of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.
He was one of Xiao Wu's two great protectors, alongside Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The Titan Giant Ape was Xiao Wu's most loyal companion in the Star Dou Great Forest, back when she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form.
Er Ming was a big, honest blockhead with immense strength, but around Xiao Wu he was always in "little brother Er Ming" mode.
Still, Xiao Chenyu wasn't sure which timeline this Er Ming came from.
Was he still a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who hadn't become a god, or had he already become a divine official working for Tang San?
Before he could ask, the Will of Douluo Planet jumped in first.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Ahem. New guy, don't you know the rules? (ºOº)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: When you ask the Avenger for help, what's the first thing you should do? Don't you know?
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Red envelope! Red envelope! Red envelope!
[Titan Giant Ape]: Red envelope? What's that? I dunno...
[Will of Douluo Planet]: It's a welcoming gift for the Avenger! You're asking him for help without bringing a gift? Have you no shame? (▼皿▼#)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: It's a fine tradition in our Chat Group!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Me, Destruction, Life, and Little Spider have all sent the Avenger red envelopes. You can figure out what to do. You can't go breaking the rules.
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: No red envelope, no saving Xiao Wu! o(´^｀)o
Xiao Chenyu watched the Will of Douluo Planet and the Man Faced Demon Spider sing back and forth as they asked for a red envelope on his behalf, his expression strange.
Well, look at that. This Douluo Planet woman was even better at working a crowd than he was.
He didn't have to ask for the red envelope himself. Those two had said it all for him.
Still, being doted on by the group like this felt, honestly... pretty great!
[Titan Giant Ape]: I'll give one! I'll give one! As long as you can save Sister Xiao Wu, I'll give you whatever you want!
[ding! Titan Giant Ape sent you a red envelope: "Three drops of Titan God Blood Bead"!]
[Titan Giant Ape]: This seems to be about all I can manage right now.
[Titan Giant Ape]: These Titan God Blood Beads were condensed from my own bloodline. Taking one can greatly improve your physical constitution, but each person can only take one.
[Titan Giant Ape]: There's also a chance it'll resonate with your Martial Soul and awaken the Titan bloodline within it, causing it to mutate.
The moment Xiao Chenyu saw the red envelope, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Divine blood!
Three drops of divine blood!
The fact that Er Ming could offer divine blood meant he'd reached at least the divine level.
This wasn't the Titan Giant Ape from his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast days. He'd already ascended to godhood and condensed divine power—a Titan Giant Ape at the level of a divine official.
He quickly analyzed the situation in his head.
"Looks like this Er Ming is the Titan Giant Ape after becoming a god."
[Xiao Chenyu]: Er Ming, I'll accept the red envelope. This is an incredibly generous welcoming gift, and I'll remember it.
[Xiao Chenyu]: First, calm down and take a deep breath. Though you probably don't need to breathe anymore.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Anyway, take your time. Tell me your story. Tell me what happened to Xiao Wu.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: That's right, that's right! Come on, tell us your story. Now it's time for you to share your tale of woe! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
