Life Goddess: I Wouldn't Mind Draining Every Last Bit of His Life!

Then she spoke.

Her voice was low, hoarse, and crushed into an extreme calm. "I don't hate you. Why would I hate you? If he hadn't recklessly insulted Lord Sea God, if he hadn't always acted high and mighty and looked down on others, he wouldn't have ended up like this today."

She paused there, an almost inaudible swallow rolling through her throat before she continued, "Besides..."

Xian Lin'er raised her head and looked straight at Tang Wulin. Complex emotions churned in her eyes, but what finally settled was an almost resolute decisiveness. "My husband is the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, not that idiot who doesn't know his own limits. His cultivation has been crippled—that is his fate. But the Xian Family still exists, and so does the Soul Guidance Department. I know which side I should stand on."

It had to be said, this was truly licking boots until there was nothing left.

Qian Duoduo looked pretty miserable, though.

I was just standing to the side and making sarcastic remarks. As for helping him, that was out of the question.

Tang Wulin quietly listened to everything she said without responding immediately.

He looked at her for several breaths, as though weighing the significance of her words, then turned to sweep his gaze across everyone present.

Yan Shaozhe sat upright, his hands resting flat on his knees. His gaze was proper and clear, carrying the cooperation of someone who had completely cast aside all distracting thoughts.

The several elders each lowered their eyes. Some stared at the tabletop, while others looked out the window. Yet not one of them dared to meet Tang Wulin's gaze head-on.

Then he looked toward Mu En.

The old man gave him a slight nod. There was gratification in his eyes, as well as emotion and the clarity honed by time and experience.

He said nothing, but the meaning in those aged eyes was already clear enough.

Do whatever you want.

Tang Wulin withdrew his gaze and sat up straight again. He placed both hands on the table, interlaced his fingers, and returned to that gentle, casual tone. "Let me explain what I'm thinking. Zhou Yi's martial soul will be abolished, her cultivation crippled, and she will be expelled from Shrek Academy, never to be rehired. And..."

His gaze drifted out the window and settled on the Golden Ancient Tree leaves shining brilliantly beneath the sunlight. "I want the entire continent to know how Zhou Yi left Shrek Academy. At the same time, apologize to those students Zhou Yi expelled. If they are willing to send their children here, they may do so without a city lord's recommendation letter, as compensation."

The words were spoken softly, yet when they reached the ears of everyone in the wooden house, they carried a crushing weight.

The several elders unconsciously softened their breathing.

Everyone knew exactly what this meant. Zhou Yi would not only be dealt with according to the rules, but would also be nailed to the wall in terms of reputation.

She would become a banner hung out for display, letting every teacher of Shrek Academy know that some lines, once crossed, led to eternal damnation.

Xian Lin'er was the first to nod.

Yan Shaozhe followed, then the remaining elders, one after another, even more swiftly and decisively than before.

Tang Wulin looked at the faces before him, all filled with respect and even awe, but his heart remained calm.

He knew that this change in their attitude toward him was less out of respect than fear.

Old Tang's ability to cripple someone's martial soul was simply too intimidating, powerful enough to make anyone harboring any lucky hopes shut up completely.

More importantly, Lord Sea God had personally appeared over a single insult. What they feared was not Old Tang's phantom, but the one in the heavens.

But if they learned that there were two more behind me, wouldn't that be even more shocking?

Of course, those two probably could not pressure them as much as Sea God Tang Seng. After all, the legend of the Sea God had begun at Shrek Academy.

Looking at their eyes, hehe, awe was always better than disdain.

Before his strength had completely subdued everyone, there was nothing wrong with borrowing the Sea God's name to make this path smoother.

He rose to his feet, gave Mu En a slight bow, then turned and walked toward the door.

When he pushed open the wooden door, the afternoon sunlight poured in from outside, scattering golden dust across his shoulders.

He did not look back, leaving behind only a roomful of quietly seated elders and the wooden door that slowly closed.

The moment the wooden door shut, fierce discussion erupted throughout the room.

As for the Qian Duoduo who had fainted from pain, no one cared.

Outside the door, the sea breeze carried the fresh fragrance of vegetation from the Golden Ancient Tree as it brushed across his face.

Tang Wulin stood on the wooden steps outside, raised a hand to shield his eyes from the somewhat dazzling sunlight, narrowed his eyes, then set off at an unhurried pace along the walkway formed from the interwoven branches of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Divine Realm.

"Huh? That kid really does carry the Sea God's power. Xiao Lu, are you sure Tang San and Xiao Wu only had one child back then?"

"I'm quite certain of that. Back then, I only sensed Wu Tong's aura from Xiao Wu." The Life Goddess spoke gently.

"That's good. But since Tang San has noticed him and does not seem to intend him harm, we needn't interfere. If he tries to make a move..."

"Don't worry. If he dares lay a hand on our son, I wouldn't mind draining every last bit of his life!" The Life Goddess was fierce for the sake of her child, and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

"Should we leave some power on that kid as well? If he encounters danger next time, we can't let that bastard Tang San get there first!" the God of Destruction said with an annoyed expression.

Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin sat in the Inner Court cafeteria, piled up a huge amount of food, and began devouring it like a whirlwind.

It had to be said, the food in the Inner Court really was better. The Outer Court's food could not compare at all.

And Old Tang—it seemed I needed to have a proper talk with him.

Old Tang had seemed to glance at the sky back then. I wondered whether he had some connection to the Divine Realm.

And what did Tang San think of me?

Had he been fooled?

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, within the Sea God Temple.

"Xiao Wu, have you sensed the aura of your bloodline in the lower realm?" Tang San asked Xiao Wu somewhat timidly.

"I wanted to ask you the same thing. I sensed it—the child who possesses the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer martial souls." Xiao Wu twisted Tang San's waist. "Xiao Qi was sent down to the lower realm, but why was this child born there from the start? Tang Little Three!"

As for how many children she had given birth to, even Xiao Wu herself could not say for certain. After all, her true form was a rabbit, so she was not sure either.

Tang San was baffled as well, but he absolutely had not sensed incorrectly! That was his own divine sense!

That child was also undoubtedly his. Could it be that someone had stolen his child right after birth?

And there was the Golden Dragon King Bloodline on that child, along with the auras of the Life Goddess and the God of Destruction.

Could it be that the God of Destruction wanted to retaliate against him?

Tang San thought about it for a long time but still could not figure it out.
