A year had already passed since the events on Namek, yet Son Goku still had not returned to Earth!
At Bulma's house, Bulma had changed to an afro hairstyle. Oolong, Puar, and Yamcha were gathered together.
Yamcha took a sip of juice and let out a satisfied sigh. "Wow... peaceful days really are great!"
Bulma said, "By the way, where did Vegeta go?"
Yamcha replied with a smile, "He probably flew into space to chase after Goku. But what I care more about is the wager from Vegeta and Wuling's duel!"
After saying that, Yamcha looked excited. He had already begun imagining what kind of women's clothes Vegeta would wear. He definitely could not miss it when the time came.
"Women's clothes... Wuling's beast-girl encyclopedia has tons of beautiful girls in it, hehe... But my favorite is still this bunny-girl outfit with black stockings, hehe..."
Oolong revealed a lecherous grin. Combined with his pig face, he looked like he was begging to be punched.
Bulma clenched her fists angrily and said in irritation, "Hmph, that guy Wuling. I always thought he was some abstinent, godlike heartthrob, but it turns out he's a pervert on the inside too!"
Of course, what angered her most was that although he was just as perverted as Master Roshi and Oolong, he had not the slightest interest in her. Master Roshi and Oolong would at least take the chance to grope her now and then.
That was the real blow. It was not until the World Martial Arts Tournament, when she mercilessly beat up Lan-Fan with a straight face, that she finally felt a little better. It was not that she was unattractive—Son Wuling was just too much of a jerk.
That's right, it was all Son Wuling's fault. It had nothing to do with her, a super-genius beautiful girl. Thinking that way made her feel much better, though she still got angry whenever she saw Master Roshi, Oolong, or the others looking at that sort of thing.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from outside. Vegeta had returned in a spaceship that was nearly out of fuel!
On Earth, Son Wuling, Krillin, and the others all sensed Vegeta's ki!
"Oh, Vegeta's back. Looks like everything is about to begin. I wonder what changes will happen. Does that future Despair Timeline still exist?"
Son Wuling raised his head to look at the sky as he thought to himself.
Videl was sweeping the dojo. Child labor? Pah. Under his guidance, she could already fight Son Gohan without him transforming into a Super Saiyan. Couldn't she at least do some apprentice chores?
Satan had begun making a name for the Spirit Immortal School across Earth, and Son Wuling's own reputation had become even more renowned because of Satan.
"Master Wuling, is Vegeta back?"
Videl stopped working. She cared deeply about her first opponent. She had been beaten badly on Namek, and she had been training desperately ever since. She had always wanted to defeat him herself!
"It is him. You've already surpassed him, but Vegeta's strength has also grown quickly. If he transforms into a Super Saiyan again, Videl, you won't be his match. Still, if Vegeta can become a Super Saiyan, he really will be a decent opponent for me!"
Son Wuling nodded.
"I've surpassed him..."
Videl cracked her knuckles. "Master Wuling, let me test what he's capable of this time. He beat me black and blue on Namek. This time, I'll pay him back for all of it! If I force him into becoming a Super Saiyan, he might even thank me!"
Son Wuling was very satisfied with Videl as his disciple. She had a tough personality, and because of her growth, Son Gohan had also become much more diligent in martial arts training, afraid that Videl would overtake him.
"Don't hit him too hard. If you beat him so badly that even Bulma can't recognize him, how's he supposed to wear women's clothes?"
Son Wuling's teasing made Videl clutch her stomach and burst out laughing!
"I understand, Master Wuling. I'll beat him so badly that even Bulma won't recognize him! Hahaha..."
Videl understood the hidden meaning in Son Wuling's words. Everyone unconsciously imitated the people they admired in every way, whether in clothing, mannerisms, or even little habits. Videl had now picked up some of Son Wuling's sharp tongue as well.
Buzz...
Suddenly, an enormous sense of pressure descended, instantly freezing Son Wuling and Videl's smiles. Beyond the Solar System, an incredibly powerful ki was approaching Earth.
At Kame House, Krillin sensed that abnormally powerful ki and trembled involuntarily.
"Is this... the Frieza Wuling mentioned? S-so strong. It feels evenly matched with Wuling's..."
Krillin clenched his fists. There were still so many powerful enemies in this world, yet he was no longer even worthy of being compared to Son Wuling or Son Goku's little toe.
Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo all sensed the ki coming from space.
"No, it isn't Frieza. This guy's ki is even more terrifying than Frieza's!"
Piccolo had seen Frieza and even fought him, so he was extremely familiar with Frieza's ki. A figure came to mind. During the battle on Namek, Frieza had mentioned his father!
"Could this be Frieza's father, coming to avenge Frieza?" Piccolo reacted quickly and immediately thought of that possibility.
Meanwhile, at Bulma's house, Vegeta had changed clothes. His original battle suit was being washed, so he wore yellow trousers, a white undershirt, and a pink short-sleeved shirt.
"That guy... that's right, Frieza's father, King Cold, is here!"
Vegeta clenched his fists unwillingly. After hearing Son Wuling and Piccolo talk about it, he had investigated in space and learned about Frieza's father.
"I didn't expect him to come so soon. Damn it, Kakarot isn't here either. With just me, that annoying human, and Kakarot's son... damn it!"
Son Wuling's dojo!
Son Gohan hurried to Son Wuling's dojo, dressed in a purple martial arts uniform.
"Uncle Wuling, you sensed it too, right?"
Son Wuling nodded and smiled. "It's probably Frieza's father, but it's fine. You and I can both handle him easily now. Let's go over there together, everyone!"
Son Wuling, Son Gohan, and Videl flew toward where the spaceship had crashed. Son Wuling was somewhat surprised that he could not sense Frieza's ki. Son Goku had actually killed Frieza! This was another event changed because of him.
"I wonder whether Trunks will still appear next!"
Son Wuling thought to himself. While flying, they gradually met up with Krillin, Vegeta, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu!
"Wuling, just as you guessed, Frieza's father really has come!"
Piccolo hurriedly said to Son Wuling.
Son Wuling nodded, his expression calm and composed. Videl and Son Gohan were the same, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Vegeta, did you hear anything about Frieza's father while you were in space?"
Son Wuling asked Vegeta.
