Inside a secret chamber of the Clear Sky Sect.
It was actually the room where Da Ming and Er Ming stayed.
This secret chamber was normally used to communicate with the God Realm.
After receiving the Divine Bestowed Soul Ring, Bai Ran did not rush to absorb it.
After all, he was not sure how long Tang Wutong would take to wake up after he knocked her unconscious.
Since that was the case, he might as well let her contact her mother first.
Besides, Bai Ran was also curious about Xiao Wu, one of the must-see characters in so many Douluo fanfics. What exactly did she look like?
Of course, Bai Ran was only curious.
No matter how charming Xiao Wu still was, she was Tang Wutong's mother.
His girlfriend's mother?
Stop, stop, stop. This was a legitimate platform, not some moderator's den!
The call connected before long.
On the God Realm's side of the screen, Xiao Wu had been weeping every day because she had not heard from her daughter for so long. Her already red eyes had become even more swollen and bloodshot.
That was also the main reason Tang San wanted Little Seven to report that she was safe.
Even though Tang San had told Xiao Wu that their daughter was fine in the lower realm, Xiao Wu could not rest easy until she saw her daughter with her own eyes.
Tang San could not bear to watch Xiao Wu grieve every day, so he had no choice but to have their daughter call her mother.
As for that hundred-thousand-year Divine Bestowed Soul Ring, it was Bai Ran's hush money.
All they asked was that he not do anything strange while Little Seven was talking to her mother.
"Little Seven? Is that Little Seven?"
When Tang Wutong had been in the lower realm, she collided with Bai Ran, a visitor from another world, and was sealed inside his body.
Although many years had passed, she had remained sealed, so her appearance was still frozen as it had been before she descended to the lower realm.
Of course, Bai Ran's martial soul awakening also meant that Tang Wutong's seal had been lifted.
But less than a year had passed since the seal was removed.
Therefore, Tang Wutong's appearance had barely changed compared to before she descended to the lower realm.
Yet in Xiao Wu's eyes, as her mother, her daughter had grown thinner.
Bai Ran: Thinner? I can barely carry her anymore. She had obviously gotten much fatter.
"Mother, it's me."
For Xiao Wu in the God Realm, she had only gone six or seven days without seeing her daughter.
But for Tang Wutong in the lower realm, she had not seen her mother for six or seven years.
She had not felt much when they were apart.
But the moment she saw her mother through the call, longing surged through Tang Wutong's heart.
Then the mother and daughter began chatting, mostly talking about everyday matters.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.
"Eh? Little Seven, who is that boy beside you?"
At that moment, Xiao Wu also noticed Bai Ran standing off to the side.
Da Ming and Er Ming's room was one of the Clear Sky Sect's greatest secrets.
Ordinary sect disciples would be harshly reprimanded by the Clear Sky Sect even if they merely approached it, much less entered.
Yet now, a boy was able to enter this room and even step into its secret chamber.
Xiao Wu could not help feeling curious.
At heart, Xiao Wu was a "rogue rabbit" who was curious about everything.
She had merely become much more restrained after marrying Tang San and becoming a wife.
But at heart, Sister Xiao Wu was still the same Sister Xiao Wu.
"Mother, this is my best friend in the sect. His name is Bai Ran.
He is also the most talented disciple in the sect right now."
"Very good, very good."
What parent would not want their child to spend time with good students?
And in Xiao Wu's eyes, Bai Ran clearly belonged to that category.
After all, as the most talented member of the Clear Sky Sect's younger generation, even if he did not possess Innate Full Soul Power, he had to have at least level nine innate Soul Power.
Breaking through to become a Title Douluo in the future should not be a problem.
"Hello, Auntie."
Bai Ran also greeted Xiao Wu.
"Hello there, little one."
"My Little Seven hasn't caused you too much trouble, has she?"
Little Seven had been a little witch in the God Realm.
After coming to the lower realm, without Third Brother sealing her memories, she was most likely still a little witch.
The hardships of becoming friends with a little witch were probably something only that child understood.
Speaking of little witches, Xiao Wu could not help thinking of Ning Rongrong.
Although Ning Rongrong had also been a little witch back then, she was ultimately just an Auxiliary-System Soul Master. No matter how willful and unruly she was, at least she did not hit people too hard.
But Tang Wutong?
Xiao Wu knew her own daughter all too well.
She was a troublemaker who even dared to pluck the beard of the Destruction God King. What in this world would she not dare to do?
To become friends with such a little witch—
Either one became the most loyal lackey at Her Highness the Little Witch's side.
Or one had greater talent than the little witch and won her over through sheer ability.
Judging from Bai Ran's neither servile nor overbearing demeanor, the possibility of the former was practically zero.
That left only the latter.
But Tang Wutong's talent?
She had been born a god. Could there really be someone in the lower realm with greater talent than hers?
At any rate, Xiao Wu did not believe it.
Yet her intense curiosity still drove Xiao Wu to ask Bai Ran about his talent.
"Boy Bai, how old are you this year? What martial soul did you awaken? What is your Soul Power level?"
That string of questions gave Bai Ran the distinct feeling of being interrogated by relatives during summer or winter break about how he had done on his final exams.
