Before long, Bai Ran was assigned a residence near the Grand Sect Master, Niu Tian, and the Second Sect Master, Tai Tan.
By the usual standards, only direct descendants of the Clear Sky Sect were allowed to live there.
Moreover, the room had been furnished according to the standards of a young lady's boudoir.
After learning that the martial soul within him was Tang Wutong, Bai Ran was not surprised by such arrangements.
Especially after seeing the jade bed crafted from Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade.
Bai Ran remarked, "The Clear Sky Sect's little princess really gets treated well. A little something that slips through her fingers would be enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime."
Honestly, if not for Tang Wutong's good fortune, Bai Ran would probably have become a menial disciple of the Clear Sky Sect by now.
Every day, he would have done odd jobs around the Clear Sky Sect, or temporarily served as a punching bag for some bad-tempered young master of the sect.
But now, everything had changed.
Which Clear Sky Sect disciple would dare bare his teeth at him?
That would be baring their teeth at Tang Wutong.
Da Ming and Er Ming's fists would probably arrive the very next second.
He had heard of dogs bullying others by relying on their masters, but soul masters relying on their martial souls for backing? That was rare indeed.
Bai Ran: "Hey, didn't this work out perfectly for Brother Bai? Honestly, systems and cheat abilities and all that are pathetically weak compared to having the Sea God's daughter as your martial soul."
Unless Tang San no longer wanted his daughter.
Otherwise, Bai Ran could enjoy these benefits for the rest of his life.
As for what to do if the martial soul was the Sea God's son?
That would be a disaster. When Tang Wulin was born, the Douluo God Realm had been swept away.
And he carried the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him, which could explode at any moment.
If Tang Wulin really came here, then you, the transmigrator, would be the one under pressure.
Tang Wutong, on the other hand, was completely different.
As the saying went, raise sons poorly and daughters richly. As the little princess of the God Realm, the greatest hardship Tang Wutong had likely ever endured was eating stir-fried bitter melon at the dinner table one day.
In the original story, she had her parents and all her uncles and aunts doting on her in the God Realm. After descending to the lower realm, Huo Yuhao had borne nearly all the hardship.
Still, the original story was the original story.
Now, Tang Wutong had become Bai Ran's martial soul.
Come to think of it, Bai Ran had not properly met this little princess of the God Realm yet.
Thus, the moment he sensed the aura within him awaken, Bai Ran summoned her out without even waiting for Tang Wutong to act on her own.
In terms of appearance, Tang Wutong looked almost as if she had been carved from the same mold as her father, Tang San.
Bai Ran: "Oh, my Chovy! The fanfics I used to read said Huo Yuhao actually liked his father-in-law, Tang San. Now that I'm seeing Tang Wutong's face and thinking back to Tang San's appearance... don't say it, seriously, don't say it. Living under the same roof, that really might be possible. Like how he liked Wang Dong."
Although she resembled Tang San greatly, her features were far more delicate. She probably took after her mother, Xiao Wu, more in that regard.
"Bastard! I'll bite you to death!"
Clearly, Tang Wutong had yet to accept her identity as a "martial soul."
In the little deviless's eyes, as long as she killed the boy before her, she would be free.
Since she had suffered a loss when using the trident earlier, Tang Wutong changed her method of attack and transformed directly into a crazed wild dog, lunging at Bai Ran's arm.
"Damn, are you a dog or something?"
Perhaps because the attack was not fatal, Bai Ran only felt a piercing pain.
Tang Wutong was not having an easy time either.
Why? She had clearly bitten him, so why had she been hurt as well?
And earlier, when she had used the trident to try to kill him, the backlash had struck her too.
Could it be that attacking him now would subject her to some kind of punishment from the rules?
At that thought, Tang Wutong became utterly depressed.
If she beat this guy, it was the same as hitting herself. Wasn't that just self-harm?
But if she did not beat him, then just thinking about how she, the dignified daughter of the Sea God, had fallen so low as to become an ordinary person's martial soul made Tang Wutong furious.
Her teeth ground together with a creak.
"Xiao Qi, you're awake?"
Just then, Da Ming and Er Ming happened to walk into the room.
They immediately saw the awakened Tang Wutong.
Though she had become a martial soul, whether by appearance or the soul power fluctuations emanating from her body,
Tang Wutong looked every bit like a young girl in the bloom of youth.
Yet after one's strength reached the godly level, a careful examination would reveal that something was amiss.
Da Ming/Er Ming: "What do you mean our Xiao Qi's origin is bound to a boy?"
"First Daddy, Second Daddy~"
Although Da Ming and Er Ming had descended to the lower realm long ago,
as Xiao Wu's two "younger brothers,"
they had treated Tang Wutong extremely well back in the God Realm.
Given Da Ming and Er Ming's relationship with Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu's daughter was their daughter as well.
And according to the original plan for descending to the lower realm,
Tang Wutong had intended to come to the Clear Sky Sect to seek refuge with her First Daddy and Second Daddy.
But plans could not keep up with changes.
Who could have expected a roadblock to appear out of nowhere, not only unreasonably making Tang Wutong sleep for six years,
but also causing her to discover, upon waking, that she had become the other party's martial soul.
