The world of Douluo I.
Shrek Academy.
Even someone as proud as Tang Hao could not help drawing a deep breath upon learning that he would become a god twenty thousand years later.
The trace of resentment he harbored toward Tang San instantly vanished like smoke and clouds.
It looks like Little San still has a place for me in his heart.
Otherwise, how could he possibly let me become a god?
The modern world.
"Grrr~"
The shocking revelations of her father's and grandfather's embarrassing pasts had drained too much of Tang Wutong's energy. Coupled with being reduced to a mortal body, her stomach finally began protesting.
Her face flushed crimson. Under everyone's gazes, she covered her little belly and said in embarrassed indignation:
"I'm just hungry! So what?"
Although Qian Renxue also did her best to maintain her composure, she was indeed hungry too. "I haven't eaten anything yet."
Gu Yuena could not help looking at Lin Hao expectantly as well.
As a big eater, she really wanted something tasty right now too.
How was she supposed to have the strength to gather intelligence without a full stomach?
Lin Hao pressed pause first, then said with a smile, "Hang on. I'll order you something to eat right away."
He had earned quite a bit today and could spare this little bit of money, so he planned to bleed his wallet a little.
After saying that, Lin Hao began swiping through his phone.
Qian Renxue asked in puzzlement, "Can this phone conjure food too?"
Although Tang Wutong's stomach was growling, that did not stop her from scoffing.
"How could that be possible? It's not a Space Soul Tool."
Gu Yuena was also very curious, wondering what Lin Hao would get them to eat.
Lin Hao smiled.
Following those last few waves of animated bombardment,
he had also gained some Emotion Points.
The Emotion Points in his backend had now exceeded 1,500.
He spent 10 Emotion Points to exchange for 10,000 in cash.
Hearing the notification from his phone that the money had arrived, he instantly felt his spine straighten.
With that thought, he lavishly ordered a McDonald's wing bucket and all sorts of combo meals.
There was enough food for over a dozen people, but he knew there was a super big eater, Gu Yuena, here. Any less really would not be enough.
With this much food, the delivery guy is definitely going to have a tough time!
He casually tipped the delivery guy another 100!
Today, I'm rolling in it!
"All done. Someone will bring the food over in a bit."
Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise, "Just a few light taps of your fingers, and someone brings you food? It seems you wield quite a bit of power."
Lin Hao: ...
Ordering McDonald's meant wielding quite a bit of power?
Then wouldn't everyone in this great China wield power that reached the heavens?
Still, he did not explain much. Qian Renxue and the others would understand soon enough.
The world of Douluo I.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back.
"This Lin Hao is certainly no ordinary person. Some faction is hiding behind him."
Tang San was filled with respect. "You are absolutely right, Teacher."
Yu Xiaogang was very pleased by this.
He had a feeling that his moment of glory would arrive very soon.
After awakening his Martial Soul, Little San would soon come to Nuoding Soul Master Academy.
And that would be his time to display his brilliance.
At the thought that the entire continent would witness his moment of glory through this sky screen, his whole body trembled.
The footage on the sky screen continued playing.
Just as Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had predicted,
Old Jack brought Tang San all the way from Holy Soul Village to Nuoding City.
Then the shot suddenly shifted to a cute girl on the street, dressed in pink with a scorpion-tail braid.
She skipped along the street, clearly no ordinary passerby.
Seeing this, Tang Wutong stood up excitedly and said:
"Yay! It's Mom!"
"Mom when she was little!"
"Hee-hee!"
"Dad and Mom are about to meet!"
Watching Tang Wutong's excited smile, Qian Renxue could not help clenching her hands.
No matter how bad-tempered or spoiled Tang Wutong was, she had still grown up pampered by her parents.
But what about her?
Her father had died early, and Bibi Dong treated her as a disgrace.
When had she, Qian Renxue, ever experienced even a little parental warmth?
Other than her grandfather, who else would treat her well?
Gu Yuena, meanwhile, frowned.
She knew Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form. As the sovereign of all Soul Beasts, why were the Soul Beasts under her falling in love with humans one after another?
She was having a little trouble keeping her composure.
Seeing Tang Wutong so excited, Lin Hao leisurely dropped a remark.
"Don't celebrate too soon. Are you sure Xiao Wu is your mother?"
Hearing this, Tang Wutong immediately grew furious:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Wouldn't I know who my mother is better than you?"
Lin Hao then said:
"That makes it strange. Let me ask you something. What's your Martial Soul?"
Tang Wutong said proudly:
"My Martial Soul is the most beautiful Martial Soul on the entire continent. It's called the Light Goddess Butterfly."
"One of a kind, unmatched in this world."
Sure enough, after hearing that, Lin Hao smiled:
"Exactly. That's where the problem lies."
"One of a kind, unmatched in this world."
"Have you ever thought about it? Your mother is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, a Soft Bone Rabbit, and your father has a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and Blue Silver Grass. How did they give birth to someone whose Martial Soul is a big flapping moth?"
[Congratulations, host. You have gained 200 Emotion Points from Tang Wutong.]
At those words, the previously supremely confident Tang Wutong instantly froze.
Yeah, why?
It seemed she had never thought about this question before.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue could not help bursting into laughter.
Thinking of how Tang Wutong, who had just been so high and mighty toward her, had suddenly been put in her place filled her with secret satisfaction.
Indeed, Martial Souls were generally inherited from one's ancestors, so where had this Light Goddess Butterfly come from?
Gu Yuena also caught on. Right, what was going on here?
Hearing Lin Hao's analysis, people across the many timelines of the Douluo Continent began discussing it.
"Holy shit! Lin Hao makes so much sense!"
"Damn, I never thought the future Sea God Tang San would get around like that."
"If you ask me, Tang San must have cheated."
"Exactly. He's already a god, so why wouldn't he get wild? There are so many beautiful women in the Divine Realm, right?"
"Am I the only one who noticed Lin Hao said that little girl was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form? If we could find her, wouldn't that be ascending to heaven in a single step? We could absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and even get a Soul Bone drop!"
The world of Douluo I.
Shrek Academy.
At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils, including Tang San, were all looking at Xiao Wu.
The wheel of fortune had turned. Everyone had been looking at Tang San before, and now they were looking at her.
Xiao Wu could not help feeling a little nervous. She had never expected her identity as a Soul Beast to be exposed, much less that she actually had a daughter.
But then, just as quickly, this daughter was no longer hers.
She was utterly muddled by it all too.
"I am indeed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, but that Tang..."
At this moment, Tang San tightly grasped Xiao Wu's hand.
"No matter who you are, Xiao Wu, I'll protect you."
The tender moment had barely lasted an instant
before Ma Hongjun asked nosily, "So what exactly is going on with that Tang Wutong?"
Xiao Wu immediately caught on too. "Right, Third Brother. If you're with me in the future, will you still have babies with other girls?"
Tang San: "..."
How the hell would I know what my future self did?
He looked at Ma Hongjun, his face full of resentment.
I already changed the subject. Why did you drag it back again?
Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, was displeased.
He had clearly been just about to make his entrance and show off.
Why had this Xiao Wu suddenly popped up again?
She could have appeared earlier or later, but she just had to show up at this exact moment.
More importantly, despite being the Grandmaster, he had actually failed to see that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
At this moment, he saw what seemed to be a pleading look in Tang San's eyes.
So he could only put on airs and say:
"All this idle speculation is uncertain. The most important thing right now is your identity, Xiao Wu."
"Ahem. Although I noticed something unusual long ago and knew you were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I have always treated you as my student."
"Xiao Wu, you must be vigilant from now on."
Xiao Wu nodded speechlessly. How come she had never noticed that Grandmaster had seen through her?
Meanwhile, Tang Hao, standing behind a tree, was curling his toes in embarrassment as he listened. What the hell could a rank-29 Soul Grandmaster see through?
And so, after Xiao Wu's identity was exposed, Tang Hao could no longer keep his composure and had no choice but to reveal himself.
Because if he did not protect Xiao Wu, what would happen if something went wrong with his Little San?
Then a figure with a long beard and a weathered face appeared before the Shrek Seven Devils.
Everyone present was startled to see Tang Hao appear.
Tang San instinctively called out, "Dad."
Then he remembered that his identity as a transmigrator had been exposed, and some of the excitement faded from his face.
But Tang Hao firmly ruffled Tang San's hair.
"No matter what, you are my son, Tang Hao's son."
Hearing this display of a loving father and filial son, Ning Rongrong of the Shrek Seven Devils rolled her eyes.
If you didn't know you might become the Plane Master in the future, would you still acknowledge Third Brother as your son?
That change of face was far too quick.
But since this was Third Brother's family business, she would not meddle so much and risk making herself disliked.
