A Loving Father and Dutiful Daughter

Not long after Tang Wutong left, the doors to the main hall of the Life Palace opened once more.

Immediately afterward, a beautiful figure walked in gracefully from outside.

She possessed peerless beauty and a gentle, elegant temperament, like the warmest sunlight of spring.

She wore a pale green gown, its hem swaying softly with her steps and outlining her perfect, tall figure.

Her fair, slender legs were faintly visible beneath the dress, and she wore matching high heels. Every step exuded elegance and composure.

She was the mistress of the Life Palace, Li Changsheng's biological mother, and one of the five great powerhouses of the God Realm—the Goddess of Life.

When Li Changsheng saw who had arrived, he was just about to greet her when the Goddess of Life quickly walked beneath the Life Ancient Tree, bent down, scooped him into her arms, and began rubbing against him affectionately.

"Ah, my little Changsheng! Mommy missed you so much!"

Li Changsheng was held tightly in her embrace, his entire face buried in that soft fullness, nearly unable to breathe.

He struggled a few times, only to discover that his mother was astonishingly strong. He could not break free at all.

It could not be helped. The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction had tried for far too long before finally having a child like Li Changsheng. They treasured him beyond measure.

It was said that after giving birth to Li Changsheng, the Goddess of Life had not even been in the mood to attend God Realm Committee meetings. All she wanted to do every day was hold her son and dote on him.

If the God of Destruction had not repeatedly promised to take good care of the child, she probably would not have wanted to go to the office at all.

"Mom..."

Li Changsheng was becoming a little overwhelmed by her affection. He raised his right hand and pushed her flawless face away slightly, saying helplessly, "That's enough already! If I'm not mistaken, you should be at work right now. Why did you come back so soon?"

The Goddess of Life was not angry at being pushed away by her son. Instead, she smiled and said, "Isn't your father still there? I made him do it."

Although Li Changsheng found that somewhat speechless, it was also exactly what he had expected.

After all, everyone in the God Realm knew that the God of Destruction was afraid of his wife.

The God of Destruction might be imposing and domineering outside, always threatening to destroy this or destroy that.

But once he returned to the Life Palace, in front of the Goddess of Life, he became a docile little lamb.

He did not dare refuse any of the Goddess of Life's requests, not even daring to say the word "no."

Just then, the Goddess of Life seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "Did little Wutong come looking for you just now?"

Li Changsheng froze for a moment and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

The Goddess of Life set Li Changsheng down, then sat across from him. Covering her mouth, she chuckled and said, "When I passed by the Sea God Palace just now, I heard Tang San getting angry. I also heard little Wutong saying something like... anyway, I don't care. If you won't give it to me, I'll stay with Auntie Green and make Uncle Purple my godfather."

Upon hearing that, Li Changsheng completely lost it.

"Pfft—"

He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

That girl Tang Wutong really dared to say it!

Make the God of Destruction her godfather?

Wasn't that clearly meant to anger her biological father to death?

Who in the entire God Realm did not know that Sea God Tang San and the God of Destruction had always been at odds?

The two had argued countless times during God Realm Committee meetings. If not for the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Kindness mediating between them, they would probably have started fighting long ago.

And now Tang Wutong was saying she wanted the God of Destruction as her godfather. Wasn't that like stabbing her father right in the heart?

Li Changsheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

He suddenly regretted agreeing to go to Douluo Continent with Tang Wutong.

That girl's talent for causing trouble was probably far greater than he had imagined.

Meanwhile, in the Sea God Palace.

Tang San looked at Tang Wutong standing before him, trembling with rage.

Even the aura around him began to grow unstable, as though he were about to activate his Asura God position.

Yet Tang Wutong was not afraid in the slightest.

With one hand on her hip, she raised her little chin and looked at her father with complete righteousness.

Her right hand was held straight out, the meaning obvious enough.

Give it to me!

She would not let this go unless he did!

Tang San was, after all, a top-tier God King who possessed both the Sea God and Asura God positions. In the God Realm, he was someone who could walk around without fearing anyone.

Although he was secretly planning to do something to Douluo Continent, that did not mean he was willing to be pressured like this by his own daughter!

What was this supposed to be?

The mighty Sea God and Asura God, completely controlled by a little girl of seven or eight? Would he have any dignity left if word got out?

Not to mention that this girl had actually threatened to become the God of Destruction's goddaughter!

Who in the entire God Realm did not know that he and the God of Destruction were enemies?

If Tang Wutong really ran off to become the God of Destruction's goddaughter, would Tang San not become the laughingstock of the entire God Realm?

Thinking of this, Tang San's face flushed red with anger, the veins on his forehead bulging.

"You unfilial daughter!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I do!"

Tang Wutong refused to back down. "I just want to go play on Douluo Continent! Are you giving me something to protect myself with or not? If not, I'll go to the Life Palace right now and ask Auntie Green to take me as her goddaughter! Uncle Purple likes me too, anyway!"

"You!"

Tang San trembled all over with rage. His Asura divine power had already begun leaking out of control, and the temperature throughout the Sea God Palace abruptly dropped several degrees.

He had completely snapped, and at that moment, all he wanted was to give this daughter who knew no better a complete and happy childhood!

Just as Tang San was about to explode, a slender hand behind him grabbed him in time.

"Enough, enough!"

A gentle voice rang out, carrying helplessness and indulgence. "Third Brother, honestly. Why are you getting angry with a child?"

The speaker was Xiao Wu, Tang Wutong's mother.

She wore a pink gown, her face gentle as water, her eyes filled with love for both her husband and daughter.

Tang San turned around and said furiously, "Didn't you hear what this unfilial daughter said? She wants to become that Destruction fellow's goddaughter! Who in the God Realm doesn't know that that thing Destruction is always opposing me? If this really happens, how will everyone look at me?"

"Then just give it to her."

Xiao Wu softly persuaded him, "It's not like it's anything important. You have so many divine artifacts. Can't you just give her one or two?"

"I..." Tang San was momentarily speechless.

Seeing this, Tang Wutong gave a light snort, her little lips pursed high. "Forget it if you won't give me one, you cheapskate! If only I could become Uncle Purple and Auntie Green's child like Changsheng. Look how good Auntie Green is to Changsheng. She gives him whatever he wants, unlike some people..."

After saying that, she turned and walked out without looking back.

Tang San stood there blankly, watching his daughter's resolute retreating figure. So angry he was, he began throwing punches and kicks at the air.

"Unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter!!"

He roared as divine power surged wildly around him. He nearly chased after Tang Wutong to "erase her account."

Fortunately, Xiao Wu was quick enough to grab him, preventing a tragedy of father and daughter turning on each other.

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Wu patted his back soothingly. "She's still a child. Don't lower yourself to her level."

"What I don't understand is why she suddenly wants to go play on Douluo Continent. It's a place everyone else would fight desperately to reach, yet little Wutong wants to leave."

Xiao Wu gently shook her head, her peerless face filled with helplessness and confusion.

"What else could it be? Li Changsheng must have led Wutong astray."

Tang San said through gritted teeth, "I told you they shouldn't spend too much time together, didn't I? Look at what that unfilial daughter has become?"

Though he said that, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

After all, she was the daughter he had raised in the palm of his hand. No matter how angry he was, he could not truly do anything to her.

It was just that...

The thought of her making the God of Destruction her godfather made him feel sick!

Tang San took a deep breath and secretly decided that the next time Tang Wutong came over, he would definitely teach her a proper lesson.

He would let her know what fatherly love was like a mountain...

No, what fatherly love was like an abyss!
