When You Meet a Pretty Girl, Remember to Bring Her Back as My Daughter-in-Law

"Dad?"

Tang Wutong shivered involuntarily as she watched the increasingly strange smile on her father's face. "What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so creepily?"

Tang San came back to his senses and quickly wiped the smile from his face, coughing twice to hide his embarrassment. "Ahem, nothing. Since you want to go to Douluo Continent, I won't stop you. But you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Tang Wutong asked curiously.

Tang San bent down and leaned close to his daughter's ear. In a low voice, he said, "After you get to Douluo Continent, spend more time with Li Changsheng and cultivate your feelings for each other. It would be best if you can make him unable to leave you. Understand?"

Tang Wutong blinked. Though she did not quite understand why her father was saying this, she obediently nodded. "Oh, I understand."

Tang San straightened up in satisfaction and rubbed his daughter's head. "Good. That's my good girl. All right, you can go down to the lower realm now."

"Wait, that's not right!"

Tang Wutong froze at those words, then quickly came to her senses. "Dad, you still haven't given me any means of protecting myself."

"What protection do you need?"

Tang San waved his hand dismissively. "Once you reach the lower realm, with Changsheng there, could you possibly be in danger? Besides, you're going down there to train. If you need us elders to help with everything, would that training still have any effect?"

"That's true!"

Tang Wutong was innocent and naive, so after hearing her father's explanation, she failed to realize anything was amiss.

Three days later.

At the entrance to the passage connecting the Divine Realm and Douluo Continent, spatial ripples spread like waves, forming a massive silver vortex.

Specks of starlight glittered along the vortex's edges, as though it connected two entirely different worlds.

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction arrived first with Li Changsheng.

Before long, another group approached from afar.

Tang San and Xiao Wu walked side by side with Tang Wutong, the family of three together.

Tang Wutong wore a pink-and-blue dress today, with two adorable buns tied atop her head. She skipped along in front of them, clearly in an excellent mood.

The two sides met at the passage entrance. The God of Destruction spoke first. "Tang San, have you arranged everything in the lower realm?"

Tang San nodded, his calm expression carrying a hint of confidence. "Don't worry. Those two soul beasts who sacrificed themselves for me back then are now in the lower realm. With their current strength, they are among the best down there, so you need not worry too much about safety."

The God of Destruction nodded in satisfaction.

Although Tang San was usually quite crafty, he would not dare tamper with anything when it concerned Tang Wutong and Li Changsheng's lives.

After all, who in the Divine Realm did not know Li Changsheng's place in the hearts of him and his wife?

In other words, if anything happened to Li Changsheng in the lower realm, forget tearing through space and forcibly descending upon Douluo Continent—even smashing the entire Divine Realm to pieces was something the two of them might attempt.

The Goddess of Life paid no attention to the undercurrents between the two men.

She crouched down until she was level with Li Changsheng's eyes, gently straightened his collar, and said softly, "Remember, you have only two things to do in the lower realm: train and have fun."

Li Changsheng obediently nodded. "Mm, I understand, Mom."

"And most importantly!"

The Goddess of Life changed the subject, a meaningful smile appearing on her face as she whispered, "If you meet any pretty girls, remember to bring them back as my daughters-in-law."

There was no helping it. There were simply too few children in the Divine Realm, especially girls.

The only one who was pleasing to the eye was Tang Wutong.

Li Changsheng froze.

He stared wide-eyed at his mother, suddenly wondering whether he had misheard her.

No...

Was this really something the Goddess of Life could say?

The gentle, elegant, dignified Goddess of Life had actually said something like "bring back daughters-in-law"?

Before Li Changsheng could react, the God of Destruction leaned over as well. He patted his son on the shoulder and nodded solemnly. "Your mother is right. Strength isn't important anyway. You'll inherit our divine positions in the end. So after going to the lower realm, remember to bring back a few more women. Your mother and I both love children the most."

At those words, Li Changsheng was completely speechless.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he had no idea what to say.

To a certain extent, the God of Destruction was indeed not wrong.

He and the Goddess of Life truly liked children. It was obvious from how they treated Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin.

But the problem was...

Wasn't this a little too direct?

At least be tactful about it!

What parents, before their child went to the lower realm to train, made their foremost instruction not to stay safe, but to bring back more daughters-in-law?

Li Changsheng felt that his worldview had suffered a blow.

Just then, Tang San's voice came from nearby. "Destruction, Life, are you done?"

Only then did the two stand up and answer in unison, "We're done."

After saying that, the Goddess of Life bent down again and rubbed Li Changsheng's head. "Do you remember?"

Before Li Changsheng could answer, a pink-and-blue figure suddenly leaned in.

Tang Wutong blinked her lively eyes and curiously glanced back and forth between them. "What are you talking about? What do you mean, 'Do you remember'?"

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction exchanged a look, then smiled knowingly and said in unison, "Nothing. We were just telling you two to have fun in the lower realm."

The moment Tang Wutong heard that, she broke into a radiant smile, revealing her two adorable little canine teeth.

She did not ask any further questions. Instead, she reached out, clasped Li Changsheng's right hand with interlocked fingers, and pulled him toward the passage.

"Come on, come on! I can't wait anymore!"

Dragged along by her, Li Changsheng stumbled a few steps and looked back at his parents.

The Goddess of Life smiled and waved at him. Her eyes were full of reluctance, yet also encouragement.

The God of Destruction folded his arms and nodded at him, his gaze seeming to say: Go on. Don't embarrass us.

Tang San stood not far away, watching his daughter happily pull Li Changsheng along by the hand. An involuntary smile of triumph appeared at the corner of his lips.

Xiao Wu noticed her husband's expression and quietly jabbed him with her elbow. In a low voice, she asked, "Third Brother, what bad idea are you plotting now?"

"What do you mean, bad idea?"

Tang San retorted righteously, "I'm thinking about my daughter's lifelong happiness!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and could not be bothered to expose him.

Meanwhile, at the passage entrance, Tang Wutong had already pulled Li Changsheng to the edge of the vortex.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned back and called out to their parents, "Dad, Mom, Aunt Green, Uncle Purple, we're leaving!"

As soon as she spoke, she leaped forward, dragging Li Changsheng with her as they jumped headfirst into the silver vortex without looking back.

The two small figures were instantly swallowed by light and vanished into the passage leading to Douluo Continent.
