"Clap clap clap...!"
Kong Xuan's applause sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silence, and the smug smile on his face, as if his "scheme had succeeded," set off alarm bells in Tang San's mind.
"What a fine... selfless and impartial Sea God who strictly adheres to the laws of the Divine Realm!"
Kong Xuan's tone was drawn out, each word laced with cold mockery.
His gaze, sharp as a hook, locked onto Tang San: "Then, Your Majesty the Sea God, how do you explain your actions of bringing these beings from the lower Divine Realm, who have no blood relation to you and are not related to you by divine status, into the God Realm without authorization?"
Tang San's mind raced, but he frowned and categorically denied it. "Ridiculous! When did I ever do such a thing? Don't spout such nonsense..."
His words came to an abrupt halt.
In that instant, a flash of inspiration, accompanied by an icy chill, suddenly struck his mind.
He thought of someone, someone who should never have been known by Kong Xuan!
Even with his God King status, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat; he realized things were going badly!
Kong Xuan glanced at the fleeting panic and forced composure in Tang San's eyes and sneered inwardly.
Realized it now? Too bad, it was too late.
A figure, suppressing his emotions, walked from behind Kong Xuan to the front.
It's Huo Yuhao!
His gaze was fixed on Tang San's face, filled with boiling rage.
" Tang San!"
He addressed the God King by his name without any reverence.
"Give me... my mother's soul!"
Upon hearing this, the gods were in an uproar; they hadn't expected even the "victim" to have come!
Since what Kong Xuan said before was true, they felt that this matter was probably not just idle talk.
The gods' expressions towards Tang San changed once again. According to Kong Xuan, Sea God Tang San, not only may have violated regulations by bringing people into the Divine Realm, but he also brought a forcibly captured soul. Now, the person's son has come knocking on their door!
This doesn't look fake at all!
Faced with Huo Yuhao's piercing gaze and the suspicious looks of the gods, alarm bells rang wildly in Tang San's mind, and cold sweat almost soaked through his divine robes.
He knew that this matter must never be admitted!
Once he admits it, his previously cultivated brilliant image and persona of fairness and impartiality will completely collapse today, with no chance of recovery!
In a flash, he made his decision, his face instantly displaying a mixture of offended authority and perfectly timed confusion.
Tang San's gaze shot sharply at Huo Yuhao, his voice suddenly rising, carrying the unquestionable pressure of God King.
"Nonsense!"
He denied it categorically, his tone resolute.
"I have absolutely no idea who you are! Nor do I know who your mother is!"
"As God Realm Enforcer, how could I possibly engage in such a thing as detaining souls? Stop spouting nonsense and slandering my reputation!"
Huo Yuhao was not good at eloquence or sophistry. Seeing Tang San deny it in public, he was so angry that his eyes turned red. The anger and frustration surging in his chest were about to explode, but he was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't produce any conclusive evidence that could stand up to the gods in the Divine Realm, since his mother's soul being imprisoned was a secret matter.
At this tense and stalemated moment, the beautiful pregnant woman with a scorpion braid hanging down beside Tang San had an unusually complicated expression.
As Tang San's closest wife, she naturally knew far more inside information than ordinary gods.
Tang San believed that the Douluo Continent in the lower realm was always under his control, so he told Xiao Wu that a new star was rising in the lower realm.
Xiao Wu also knew that before this rising star grew up, Tang San had secretly intervened and somehow brought her deceased mother's soul back to the Divine Realm.
At the time, she probably didn't think much of it, simply considering it part of her husband's scheme.
However, bringing unrelated beings from the lower realms into the Divine Realm without authorization is indeed... a violation of the laws of the Divine Realm.
She raised her eyes to look at her husband, who was standing there with an air of righteous indignation. Her lips moved slightly, and a hint of struggle and worry flashed in her eyes.
In her naive mind, she might have felt that this was not an irreparable, monstrous mistake, and that even if she admitted it, her husband's status and past achievements might allow them to get away with it.
However, when she saw Tang San's persistent and defiant attitude, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
While refuting Huo Yuhao, Tang San's gaze subtly swept across his wife Xiao Wu's face.
He was certain that Xiao Wu was the only one who knew of Huo Yun'er's existence, but she would never betray him like the Goddess of Life.
So even now, he still believes he can get through this day.
However, all of this was within Kong Xuan's expectations and calculations.
Faced with Tang San's righteous and stern self-defense, Kong Xuan didn't even cast a glance at him.
His gaze calmly passed over the gods and landed on the pregnant woman who was silently stroking her belly with a complex expression.
Tang San cleverly deceived the Goddess of Life, and even though he came prepared, he wasn't without a way to make Xiao Wu "betray" him.
"Lady Xiao Wu!"
"It's been a long time... haven't you seen your daughter?"
Xiao Wu's big pink eyes suddenly shot up, unable to stay down any longer, and locked onto Kong Xuan!
"You... you know about my daughter's situation?!"
She blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Although Xiao Wu was somewhat "love-struck" by Tang San, she was by no means stupid.
She had already deduced that Kong Xuan was most likely from the Douluo Continent, which was precisely where her daughter, whom she missed day and night, was!
It's not impossible that Kong Xuan knew about his daughter Tang Wutong.
Tang San knew better than anyone that Kong Xuan's every action and word was purposeful.
Therefore, the moment he heard Kong Xuan mention the word "daughter" to Xiao Wu, the composure on his face shattered instantly, like a fragile ice sheet struck by a heavy hammer!
Shock, anger, panic, and a chilling sense of being meticulously planned made him almost unable to control his expression. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned extremely ugly in an instant!
He instantly recalled the incident not long ago when he sent down his divine sense to try and bring back his daughter, only to have his clone destroyed. His heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss, sinking to the very bottom!
"Your eyes seem to want to kill me?"
Kong Xuan ignored Tang San's murderous gaze, which was almost tangible, and even looked at it with a hint of amusement.
He looked again at Xiao Wu, who was leaning forward slightly due to her eagerness, and his smile deepened.
"I not only know about your daughter's situation."
He paused, then smiled and said, "And very thoughtfully... he brought her along."
Before he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and the Space Soul Tool on his wrist flashed with a barely perceptible halo.
The light faded, and a figure appeared without warning before everyone's eyes!
She was a woman who looked to be around twenty years old, with a slender and graceful figure.
What is most striking is her long, light blue hair that cascades down like a waterfall, flowing with a dreamlike luster in the hazy glow of the Divine Realm.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, and one could vaguely see a resemblance to Xiao Wu in her lively and charming manner between her brows. However, at this moment, she had a sullen face, which was exactly the same as Tang San's expression!
This person... is none other than Wang Dong'er in her female form!
