Bulma was still somewhat lost, almost bursting into tears on the spot.

She had first met Son Wuling when she came to Mount Paozu in search of the Dragon Balls, and after that, they began their adventures together all the way until now.

The feeling Son Wuling gave her back then was like a cold and handsome youth stepping right out of a manga. Though she was infatuated with him for a time, even later when she got together with Yamcha, she still had not forgotten this white moonlight who had once captivated her.

Though they did not become lovers as she had imagined, they became partners instead. And now, upon hearing that Son Wuling was dead, Bulma refused to believe it.

Master Wuling...

Videl dug her fingers hard into the soil on the ground, her tears flowing unstoppably.

"Frieza truly is a great fiend!"

Grand Elder sighed. "Goku and Gohan, have their appearances already transformed into that of the legendary Super Saiyan? With this, Namek is truly saved!"

King Kai, located on the Planet of King Kai, was also stunned upon learning that Son Wuling had died. Especially upon seeing Son Goku and Son Gohan transform into Super Saiyans together, for a moment he actually forgot that he still needed to contact Krillin.

"Super Saiyan, haha... Frieza is done for now. Goku and his son have both actually turned into Super Saiyans! Frieza is really finished this time. Goku, Gohan, hang in there!"

King Kai shouted in great excitement at the moment, not caring at all whether Son Goku and Son Gohan could hear him.

In Other World, Son Wuling's hazy consciousness recovered, and he found himself seemingly bound by something, completely unable to move. Standing before him was a giant standing a good thirty or forty meters tall, wearing a purple suit and a red tie!

He had a large beard, wore a hat like a bull's horn on his head, and it even had the character for Yama imprinted upon it! His skin was fire-red! This was precisely the world of the dead, Other World, and the one before his eyes was none other than King Yemma!

"Are you Lord Yemma whom Goku spoke of?" Son Wuling waved his hand. Now that he had regained consciousness, looking at this towering figure, he naturally would not be arrogant or slack off. Every single soul that died in the entire universe was judged by King Yemma; he certainly wasn't going to be reckless just because he felt the other party's strength was nothing special!

"Son Wuling, your achievements are enough for you to go straight to Heaven. Even obtaining some official post here in Other World would be no problem at all. However, I know that you currently want to go to Lord Kai's place?"

King Yemma looked at Son Wuling, hesitating as he stopped mid-sentence. He could see from Son Wuling's personality that he disliked being bound in one place by certain things and pursued the martial path.

True to King Yemma's expectations, Son Wuling refused.

"Lord Yemma, there is something called Dragon Balls on Earth, and I figure I'll probably be wished back to life in a little while. I want to go and see Lord Kai! May I ask Lord Yemma to provide an introduction?"

Son Wuling bent at the waist, placing his left hand over his chest in the posture of a standard knight's salute.

"This..."

King Yemma pondered for a moment in the end, finally agreeing to Son Wuling's words, and motioned for a staff member to take Son Wuling to Snake Way.

"Thank you, Lord Yemma!" Son Wuling waved his hand in thanks, following the Other World staff member as they headed toward Snake Way.

"Haha... You're welcome, Son Wuling! Come by often in the future!"

King Yemma smiled in response, waving his hand!

"Right... Ah!"

Son Wuling reacted, instantly freezing up. Who on earth would willingly visit Other World? He had no desire to experience that feeling of death ever again.

This method of dying was even more miserable than the way he had crossed over; his body had been blown directly to smithereens.

After arriving at Snake Way and flying at full speed, he flew for less than a minute before spotting the Planet of King Kai!

"I wonder how everyone is doing. Will Goku end up turning into a Super Saiyan because of my death?"

After Son Wuling flew onto the Planet of King Kai, the tenfold gravity of Planet of King Kai had zero effect on him, as though it naturally fit his physique.

King Kai was still the very same King Kai from his impression.

"Lord Kai! Lord Kai! I'm Son Wuling!"

Son Wuling's voice suddenly gave King Kai a huge fright!

"It's Wuling! How did you get over here?" King Kai looked at the halo floating above Son Wuling's head—the symbol of death—and hurriedly asked.

"I asked a favor of Lord Yemma and came over along Snake Way. Lord Kai, how are Goku, Gohan, and the others doing on Namek right now?" Son Wuling asked with deep concern.

King Kai laughed heartily and said, "They're fine! Right now, Goku and Gohan have already turned into Super Saiyans, and Frieza is no match for them at all anymore."

"Gohan too..." Son Wuling felt a shock in his heart. This truly exceeded his expectations, yet deep down he felt it was pretty great after all. It seemed his pampering of Gohan hadn't been for nothing!

"Aiya, I almost forgot the main business. Lord Kai, Krillin hasn't made his wish yet, right?" Son Wuling looked at the halo on his forehead and inquired.

King Kai's smile instantly froze. Son Goku and Son Gohan fighting Frieza so intensely on Namek had caused him to completely forget!

Son Wuling crossed his arms over his chest with a hint of a mysterious smile and said nothing, but his gaze made King Kai feel embarrassed, his face growing somewhat hot.

"Let me speak with Krillin, Lord Kai!"

On Earth, at Kame House, Krillin, Violet, Master Roshi, along with Turtle and Oolong, were gathered together at the moment.

"What on earth happened on Namek? Why hasn't Lord Kai replied with a message yet?" Krillin looked at the seven Dragon Balls on the beach, saying with some worry.

Violet stepped forward. Dressed in a white beach dress at the moment, she said, "Krillin, don't worry. Don't you already know the abilities of Wuling and Goku? Something must have just delayed them over there."

"Thank you, Violet!"

Krillin looked at Violet and smiled. Their gazes met each other's, the atmosphere carrying a hint of ambiguity. Master Roshi, Oolong, and Turtle all widened their eyes; they had long since sensed that the relationship between the two was somewhat unusual, only that the thin layer of paper between them had not yet been poked through.

"Krillin, and everyone... can you hear me?"

Suddenly, Son Wuling's voice came through, causing Master Roshi, Krillin, and the others to let out joyful cheers.

"It's Wuling! We can all hear you! Wuling, how are things over on your end?" Krillin hurriedly asked. Ever since King Kai had told them to prepare to summon Shenron, they had felt uneasy in their hearts all along. Now, upon hearing Son Wuling's voice, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over them.

"Not too good, because I'm already dead. I'm currently contacting you from Lord Kai's place!"

Son Wuling's carefree demeanor instantly caused Krillin and the others to stiffen.

"What? Wuling, how did you also...?" Krillin hurriedly inquired.

"Um, it's fine. Just use the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and revive me along with the Namekians and the rest. Summon Shenron, Krillin! I'm going to contact Grand Elder and the others right away!"

Son Wuling hurriedly signaled King Kai to contact Grand Elder and the others on Namek right now, telling them to summon Shenron!
