Tang Wutong: You Wouldn't Want the God Realm Discussing How the Sea God Was Worse Than the God of Destruction, Would You?

By the time the Goddess of Life and Li Changsheng arrived outside Sea God's Palace, they could already hear a fierce argument coming from within.

"Tang San! What exactly do you mean by this?"

The God of Destruction's deep, powerful voice rang with mockery. "Tang Wutong is your biological daughter, after all. How can a father like you be so stingy? Look at yourself—you're the Sea God and Asura God, holding two divine positions, with more divine artifacts and treasures than you can count. Yet you won't even give your daughter a few things to save her life with? Aren't you ashamed?"

Tang San's exasperated voice followed immediately. "Destruction! Stop pointing fingers here! How I raise my own daughter is none of your business!"

"How is it none of my business?"

The God of Destruction fired back righteously, "I watched Tang Wutong grow up. She's practically my own daughter! If you really don't want her, fine—just let Xiao Lu and me adopt her as our goddaughter! We like her well enough anyway!"

Other people feared Tang San because he was a Divine King, one of the five great rulers.

That did not mean he was afraid of him too.

After all, wasn't he also a Divine King?

Not to mention that his family had two Divine Kings. If they fought, Tang San would be the only one at a disadvantage.

Standing outside the hall, the Goddess of Life and Li Changsheng both froze when they heard that.

Yet the part that truly left them unable to hold it together came afterward...

Inside the main hall, that most filial daughter, Tang Wutong, stood beside the God of Destruction, nodding her little head with all her might.

She nodded as fast as a chick pecking at grain, her face wearing an expression that said, "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Zi is right."

The Goddess of Life rubbed her forehead speechlessly.

Li Changsheng lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

To a certain extent, Tang Wutong had become like this because she spent time playing with him, so he really did bear part of the blame.

If he had not agreed to go to Douluo Continent with her back then, perhaps none of this would have happened...

Probably.

Inside the hall, Tang San's face turned green with rage when he saw his own daughter standing with the God of Destruction and "coercing" him.

He nearly drew the Asura Demon Sword and slashed at the God of Destruction!

"Destruction! Shut your mouth!"

Tang San roared, "Keep spouting nonsense, and see if I don't settle things with you today!"

Rather than being frightened, Tang Wutong planted her hands on her hips and said righteously, "Old man, Uncle Zi already gave Changsheng treasures. We can't lose face! You wouldn't want the God Realm discussing how the Sea God was worse than the God of Destruction, would you?"

The instant those words came out, Tang San's furious expression froze.

He stood there in a daze, as though he had caught some crucial information. With a deep frown, he asked, "Wait... what do you mean Destruction gave Li Changsheng treasures?"

Tang San abruptly turned, his sharp gaze locking onto the God of Destruction. "Destruction, why did you give treasures to your child?"

The God of Destruction could not help rolling his eyes, his tone filled with sarcasm. "Isn't that obvious? Do you think I'm as stingy as you? Once they go down there, they'll be unfamiliar with the place and will definitely run into all sorts of trouble. If they get hurt anywhere, let alone Xiao Lu, even I would be heartbroken!"

Tang San frowned even more tightly. "No, what I mean is... your Changsheng is going down too?"

The God of Destruction was stunned as well and asked in return, "What do you mean, my Changsheng is going down too? Didn't Wutong tell you?"

Tang San shook his head, looking utterly confused. "No. She only told me that she wanted to go play on Douluo Continent and asked me for a few treasures to protect herself. From beginning to end, she never said a single word about your Li Changsheng going too."

This time, both of them were stunned.

They slowly turned around, and four pairs of eyes looked simultaneously toward Tang Wutong, who was standing behind the God of Destruction.

Seeing that things were going badly, Tang Wutong's smile instantly stiffened.

She instinctively sensed danger approaching and hurriedly tried to turn around and run.

However, her hands were fast, but the God of Destruction's were faster!

The God of Destruction reached out with one large hand, accurately grabbed Tang Wutong by the back of her collar, and lifted her entire body into the air.

Tang Wutong's feet dangled as she kicked her legs in midair, just like a kitten being held by the scruff of its neck.

The God of Destruction wore a meaningful smile as he drawled, "Little Wutong, you haven't been very honest."

Tang Wutong kicked her legs and gave an awkward laugh. "Uncle Zi, I... I just didn't think of it at the time..."

"You didn't think of it?"

The God of Destruction raised an eyebrow and asked, "Or did you not think you'd let it slip?"

Tang Wutong laughed awkwardly. Knowing she was in the wrong, she did not dare say anything more.

The God of Destruction did not make things difficult for her and casually set her down.

The moment Tang Wutong's feet touched the ground, she shot away like a rabbit, racing straight toward the hall entrance.

At a glance, she spotted the Goddess of Life standing outside. Without another word, she hid directly behind her, poking out only her little head as she warily watched the hall, afraid Tang San would rush out and treat her to a beating.

The Goddess of Life looked down at the trembling Tang Wutong hiding behind her, then shook her head, both annoyed and amused.

"All right, all right!"

She patted Tang Wutong on the head and said gently, "Don't be afraid. With Auntie Lu here, no one will dare hit you."

Only then did Tang Wutong relax slightly, though she still clutched the Goddess of Life's skirt tightly and did not dare let go.

Inside the hall, Tang San watched his daughter hide behind the Goddess of Life. His expression shifted repeatedly before finally becoming a helpless sigh.

This daughter of his had truly been spoiled rotten by him.

Of course, perhaps Li Changsheng had led her astray too.

Still, since Li Changsheng was going down as well, things would be easier to arrange.

After all, compared to the son of two Divine Kings, what did some so-called child of destiny amount to?

This was also the perfect chance to transfer Douluo Star's fortune over.

When the time came, not only would Douluo Star fall completely into his hands, but he would even gain a son-in-law born to two Divine Kings.

No matter how he looked at it, this deal was incredibly profitable.

The only question was, what should he do?

If he gave Tang Wutong a divine artifact or some life-saving means, then with her personality, she would definitely charge straight in and fight people head-on.

More importantly, she would not be able to develop feelings for Li Changsheng.

So he could not give her any divine artifacts. Otherwise, how would a hero-saving-the-beauty scenario happen later?

If it did not happen, how would their feelings deepen?

By this point, Tang San had already made up his mind.

She could go down, but she could not have divine artifacts.

On the surface, it would be to temper Tang Wutong, but the real reason was to make her rely on Li Changsheng and spark the flames of love between them.

That way, the Tang Family would have four Divine Kings—perhaps even five.
