"Th-that blonde girl defeated Frieza's father that easily!"

Piccolo's jaw nearly dropped in shock, and Vegeta beside him didn't look much better. They had all experienced Frieza's power firsthand.

And now, King Cold, who was even stronger than Frieza, had been killed so effortlessly.

At that moment, countless thoughts ran through their minds. Who was this blonde girl? What did she want? Would she eliminate them too? An involuntary fear rose within them.

Fear was life's most fundamental emotion, and fear mostly came from the unknown!

The blonde girl turned to look at Son Wuling and the others, revealing a faint smile. "I'm going to meet Mr. Goku now. Would you like to come with me?"

The blonde girl hurriedly corrected herself, nearly letting it slip out of habit!

"What?" Piccolo, Vegeta, and the others froze!

Just as I thought! Son Wuling silently thought, frowning slightly as he became the first to follow the girl who looked so much like Number 18.

"Wuling, you..."

Piccolo watched Son Wuling follow her without hesitation. He had wanted to stop him, but gritted his teeth and chose to trust Son Wuling, flying after him as well!

Vegeta, Son Gohan, and the others followed close behind!

The blonde girl landed in a mountainous area, took out a Capsule and opened it. A refrigerator appeared, filled with drinks. Looking at Son Wuling and the others as they arrived, she smiled. "Mr. Goku won't be here for another three hours. There are plenty of drinks here, so help yourselves!"

No one dared to move. Even after seeing the blonde girl open a bottle herself, no one dared to touch anything! The sight of her erasing King Cold had left a deep shadow over them, until Son Wuling took the lead and walked over.

"Hey, Wuling, what's wrong with you? This isn't like you at all!"

Piccolo hurried after him and spoke up.

Son Wuling picked up a drink and opened it without the slightest pause. "It's simple. If she wanted to do something to us, with her power, she wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. But if she truly means harm to Earth or to all of you, then even if my soul is scattered to the winds, I won't let her have it easy!"

Son Wuling's final words were filled with resolve. His dark eyes made the blonde girl hurriedly look away, her body trembling unnaturally as her cheeks puffed out as though she were holding back her breath.

Dad means Soul Shock, right? The power of that move depends on the strength of the user's soul. Hmph, he actually wants to use that move on me? When I get back, I'll tell Mom... No, damn it. Mom is all lovey-dovey with Dad every day. She definitely won't take my side. I'll go find Uncle Goku and Auntie instead—especially Auntie. Dad is terrified of her.

The blonde girl seemed to think of something, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

After hearing Son Wuling's words, everyone gradually lowered their guard. Fear came from the unknown, and Son Wuling was right. If she really wanted to do something to them, they wouldn't be able to resist anyway!

Son Gohan walked up to the blonde girl and asked, "Um, big sister, why do you know about my dad?"

"Big sister... Ahem!"

The girl was stunned for a moment by Son Gohan's form of address. After recovering, she gave a soft cough to hide her embarrassment and answered, "Because I can foresee the future. That's why I know Mr. Goku will land here in three hours!"

"Are you sure?"

Son Wuling pointed upward. At that moment, a massive spherical spaceship pierced through the atmosphere and descended from the clouds.

"What?"

The girl's expression instantly froze, and she was completely dumbfounded!

"Th-this... what's going on?"

The blonde girl clutched her head, unable to believe it. She was practically going crazy!

"Ah, it really is Goku's energy... That's right, Goku's back!"

Yamcha said excitedly.

"He's gotten even stronger, Goku!" Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu followed Son Gohan, Piccolo, and the others over, while Vegeta strolled over at an unhurried pace as well!

Looking at the blonde girl, who had nearly turned to stone, Son Wuling smiled and patted her shoulder. Under her blank stare, he grinned and said, "Miss, do you have a lot of questions? Hahaha..."

After saying that, Son Wuling poked her cheek, then ran off laughing!

The blonde girl covered the cheek Son Wuling had just poked, and a blush instantly gathered on her face, making her look shy.

What is this? Did my appearance change history...? No, that's not right... the girl nearly roared in fury inside.

The blonde girl suddenly realized something and flushed red with anger. After figuring out the truth, she nearly went mad inside. Mom gave me that information, which means she deliberately told me the wrong time! Ah... Mom, you're too awful! You actually teamed up with Dad to trick me and made me embarrass myself! Waaaah... I'm going to tell Uncle and Auntie on you! This is infuriating...

Son Goku stepped out of the ship's cabin. His clothes had completely changed as well: a white long-sleeved shirt, black shoulder-length armor, and red trousers! He also had black hair shaped like a crab.

"Hey, why are you all here?"

Son Goku looked at Son Wuling and the others in confusion and asked!

"Ah, this is great! Goku really came back!"

Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Krillin cheered excitedly. Piccolo and Tien Shinhan wore faint smiles, while Son Wuling stepped forward and said, "Because she told us you would land here, though she got the time wrong. Goku, who is she?"

Following Son Wuling's finger, Son Goku saw the blonde girl. His eyes widened in surprise, and he jumped in shock. "Wah... There's actually someone else here!"

"What do you mean, someone else?"

Son Goku's words made the blonde girl clench her fists!

Son Goku shook his head and replied, "I don't know her. Who are you? But you're amazing. You've completely hidden your energy. I can't sense her aura at all—it's just like air!"

"You don't know her?"

Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others stared at Son Goku in surprise.

Son Goku placed his thumb against his chin, looking thoughtful. "That's strange. King Kai told me that Frieza's father, Cold, was going to attack Earth, so I immediately came back. Come to think of it, who took Cold down? Wuling, Gohan, or Piccolo? Vegeta?"

Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest and answered, "King Cold was taken out by this girl in an instant!"

The blonde girl calmed herself and returned to her earlier cold, composed demeanor.

"Mr. Goku, Mr. Vegeta, Mr. Piccolo, Mr. Krillin, there are some very important things I need to discuss with you. Could we speak somewhere private?"

"What?"

Son Wuling was stunned. She had called Son Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and even Krillin, yet she had specifically left him out. Was he unreliable, or did he talk too much?

Son Wuling glanced at Krillin. She had even called him over—could this girl who looked so much like Number 18 really be Marron, the future daughter of Krillin and Number 18?

Is she planning to confess everything and set her own parents up?
