Tang San's Disappearance

After receiving Xiao Wu's permission, Xu Xingyu prepared to leave, letting the mother and daughter resolve their relationship on their own.

But just as he was about to bow and thank her before leaving, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute, if you're going to get Sea God Island to cooperate with your Spirit Contract Pagoda, you'd better take this with you."

Xiao Wu handed Xu Xingyu a blue and gold trident badge. After taking Xu Xingyu could feel a clear ocean scent emanating from the badge, giving her a sense of calm and comfort.

Xiao Wu then explained, "This is the Sea God Badge. The holder is considered the Sea God's representative on Earth, and their commands are equivalent to the Sea God's divine pronouncements. Anyone who disobeys will be executed."

"In addition, the badge holder can, with the Sea God's Power contained within the guild leader, draw upon the power of the ocean and numerous Sea Soul Beast that submit to the Sea God to assist them in battle."

"Although the God Position of the Sea God is subordinate to the Dragon God Divinity's God Position that you will inherit, so this thing is dispensable to you, it can at least save you a lot of trouble at this stage."

As Xiao Wu said, this badge is not very useful to Xu Xingyu; it's just a convenient tool. However, this doesn't mean the badge itself is worthless. On the contrary, if this badge were in the hands of others, they would treat it as a priceless treasure.

Moreover, this wasn't something that Xu Xingyu didn't have at all. After all, the people of Sea God Island had maintained a state of isolation from the world for many years, which made them somewhat inflexible. Without the Sea God's order, they wouldn't dare to open Sea God Island up.

With this badge, things became much easier for Xu Xingyu, and in a sense, it even turned Sea God Island into his Xu Xingyu territory.

So even if Xiao Wu's behavior was a deliberate attempt to please Xu Xingyu, Xu Xingyu couldn't refuse. Moreover, he didn't think it was Xiao Wu's intention; he was more concerned about feeling guilty for arriving so late after dealing with matters on Sea God Island, which is why he gave her the badge.

It's no wonder Xu Xingyu thinks this way. It's because Xu Xingyu was too deeply impressed by Blue Star's description of Xiao Wu. So in his eyes, Xiao Wu is more of a love-struck fool. She has intelligence, but she never uses it, so it's not much different from having no intelligence at all. She's very similar to a certain early version of Chongchong, or even worse.

Even so, since Xiao Wu has already done so much, it would be somewhat unreasonable for me to do more to help ease the relationship between Dong'er and my mother, especially since my mother has already begun to show signs of breaking with her husband.

Xu Xingyu clasped her hands in a fist salute to Xiao Wu and said, "Then I thank you in advance, Mother-in-law. I'll go and take care of those miscellaneous tasks now."

The moment Xu Xingyu called Xiao Wu "mother-in-law," both of them were stunned. To be honest, given the terrible relationship between Xu Xingyu and Tang San, the mother and daughter couldn't imagine Xu Xingyu Xiao Wu "mother-in-law."

Xu Xingyu continued, "I know that because of Tang San, our relationship isn't very good. After all, even if he brought it upon himself, I am still the culprit who caused him to lose his Sea God Godhood and be ostracized by the entire Divine Realm."

"However, after observing all this, you yourself have noticed your husband's strange behavior and have begun to take your own actions and think things through. The fact that you rush down from the Divine Realm every time Dong'er gets into trouble because of Tang San shows that you truly value Dong'er and consider Dong'er your daughter. Besides, she is your biological daughter, so it's only right that she calls you mother-in-law."

"However, if it's Tang San, he doesn't deserve to be called father-in-law by me, since he's hardly a qualified father."

After speaking, Xu Xingyu got up and left. Before leaving, she used her Soul Power to send a telepathic message to Wang Dong'er, and then left the white space to prepare to revisit Sea God Island.

Now only Wang Dong'er and Xiao Wu remained in the space. Since Xu Xingyu was no longer there to mediate, neither of them dared to speak first, resulting in a moment of silence.

Finally, Wang Dong'er spoke first, her tone a little awkward, "Mom, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you and the other two helping us Xingyu and I would have been in trouble."

Hearing her daughter call her "Mom," Xiao Wu's eyes welled up with tears. It had been a long time since she had heard her daughter call her "Mom" like that. Although she could still hear a slight resistance from her daughter, this "Mom" at least gave her hope for a reconciliation in their mother-daughter relationship.

Xiao Wu responded in a slightly trembling voice, "No, it's what I should do. After all, I'm Xiao Qi... Dong'er, your mother. I know I can't protect you from your father, but I can still help at this level, especially since I mainly contributed to destruction and nature just now."

Xiao Wu still hasn't completely broken the habit of calling her daughter by her old name. Although she changed it in time, she doesn't know if her daughter will be unhappy about it.

After all, she had said before that she was Wang Dong'er, not Tang Xiao Qi, and certainly not Tang Wutong. She was Wang Dong'er, a real person, not anyone's puppet.

Fortunately, Wang Dong'er didn't dwell on this point but instead asked, "If you could, could you tell me how Father is doing in the Divine Realm lately? This whole Abyss incident happened on Sea God Island; anyone would sense something was amiss, right?"

Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised by Wang Dong'er's question, as she had assumed that Wang Dong'er no longer cared about anything related to her father.

Wang Dong'er could tell what Xiao Wu was thinking just by looking at her slightly shocked expression. She thought to herself that of course Xiao Wu cared about her father, but her concern was more about whether Tang San had been imprisoned in the Divine Realm or was about to be executed. It wasn't really about father-daughter concern.

However, Xiao Wu's answer sent a chill down her spine. Xiao Wu simply said one sentence, "Your father has disappeared, and no one knows where he is."

"Missing? A God King has disappeared in the Divine Realm? You must be joking!" Wang Dong'er exclaimed. "Isn't it said that Uncle Zi is now in charge of the Divine Realm Core? With the help of the Divine Realm Core, no matter how well someone hides, as long as they are still in the Divine Realm or within the Divine Realm protected area, no one can find them, right?"

Xiao Wu could only shake her head and say, "I also hope this is false, but your father has indeed disappeared. This has led Destruction to conclude that he was behind this connection to the Abyss Plane, so they are sending a large number of gods to search for his whereabouts. But in the end, they have all found nothing."

At this moment, Wang Dong'er felt that a huge conspiracy was being set up. Whether it was the previous personality replacement or the invasion of the Abyss, it was all to cover up this conspiracy. But no one could give her an answer, and no one could find the answer before Tang San was exposed.
