Chapter 226: Tang San's Sophistry
Although Xiao Wu didn't know exactly when Xiao Qi would return, she was certain that by the time she did, she would have grown from a little girl into a young woman. As her mother, she naturally wanted to make up for all the birthday gifts Xiao Qi had missed over the years.
Suddenly, a green light and a yellow light appeared outside the palace. The green light transformed into Da Ming, while the yellow light turned into Er Ming. They stepped forward and walked into the palace.
Da Ming pushed open the door and strode in first. Upon seeing the familiar figure, he immediately called out in a firm voice, "Sister Xiao Wu!"
Inside the palace, Xiao Wu was surprised to hear such a familiar voice. She turned around and, upon seeing Da Ming and Er Ming, her face lit up with joy. "Da Ming, Er Ming! Why did you suddenly come to the Divine Realm without letting me know in advance?" She walked over, a hint of curiosity in her expression. "Could it be that you bring news about Xiao Qi?"
To Xiao Wu, Da Ming and Er Ming were like family practically younger brothers to her.
In the past, Da Ming and Er Ming had been far stronger than her in terms of individual strength. After all, Da Ming was a Sky Blue Bull Python, Er Ming a Titan Giant Ape, while she was just a Soft Bone Rabbit.
But now, as the Scabbard of the Asura Sword and co holder of the Asura God's position alongside Tang San, she could wield Asura divine power. In terms of strength, she was now above both Da Ming and Er Ming, who were merely divine officials without a god position.
Er Ming scratched his head and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, how did you guess before we even said anything? Your guess was way too accurate!"
"Of course," Xiao Wu chuckled. "I know you two too well. If it wasn't something important, you wouldn't bother leaving your territory. You'd rather stay and focus on cultivation.
Now that you two are the sect masters of Clear Sky Sect, that place has practically become your domain."
Hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a brief glance.
Then, Da Ming stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I rushed to the Divine Realm specifically to inform you about something regarding Xiao Qi. But before that, I hope you can mentally prepare yourself."
"Mental preparation?" Xiao Wu was taken aback, and a thought crossed her mind could it be that something happened to Xiao Qi?
No, that was impossible. Xiao Qi had Tang San's divine consciousness protecting her; there was no way anything could have happened to her.
The Douluo Star was full of powerful soul masters, but none of them could possibly contend against Tang San's divine consciousness.
"I'm ready. Da Ming, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me already," Xiao Wu urged impatiently.
"This is what happened…" Da Ming began to explain how Tang San wanted Xiao Qi to enter Emotion Inquiry Valley alone as a form of training, emphasizing the cruel nature of the valley.
Moments later, Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why would Brother San do something like this? Xiao Qi is still just a child! No! I have to go ask him myself!"
She didn't want to believe that Tang San would do such a thing. After all, they had been married for years, and in Xiao Wu's eyes, their love had always been deep.
But Da Ming and Er Ming had been by her side for many years they wouldn't lie to her about something like this.
That meant what they said was most likely true.
"Brother San, come here now! I need to talk to you." Xiao Wu's rabbit like eyes turned crimson, and a killing aura surged around her, vibrating at a unique frequency.
As the Scabbard of the Asura Sword, her connection to Tang San was extremely close.
Although Tang San usually used his Sea God divine position, his Asura God position was always hidden within him. If he ever needed it, he could switch between the two.
However, Tang San could only fully utilize the Asura God position if Xiao Wu also activated the Asura divine power alongside him.
"Xiao Wu?" Tang San's voice echoed in her mind through the power of Asura.
A moment later, his figure materialized inside the palace.
Upon seeing Da Ming and Er Ming, he looked slightly puzzled. He had just assigned them a task, so why were they here now?
With such a short time to think, Tang San quickly made a guess.
"Xiao Wu, did you call me here because Da Ming and Er Ming arrived? Do you want me to cook something for them as a proper welcome?"
He figured this was the most likely reason.
After all, gods were powerful beings, and not eating wouldn't kill them, but life in the Divine Realm wasn't as colorful as the human world. Many gods were actually quite interested in cooking.
Xiao Wu shook her head. "Brother San, why do you want Xiao Qi to enter Emotion Inquiry Valley alone?
If she steps into that place, she will suffer immense psychological torment and be left with deep, painful scars that she may never heal from."
Tang San froze for a moment, then his sharp, sword like gaze shifted to Da Ming and Er Ming, the two traitors who had chosen the path of death.
If they weren't so close to Xiao Wu, Tang San would have killed them immediately.
But because of Xiao Wu, he couldn't touch them.
Xiao Wu was the Scabbard of the Asura Sword, wielding part of the Asura divine power. If Tang San killed Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu would find out.
And knowing her personality, even with how deeply she loved him, she would definitely turn against him.
If that happened, Tang San's strength would plummet, and he might become the weakest of the Five God Kings.
The Sea God divine position was one of the strongest first tier god positions in the Divine Realm.
But it was only because of his Asura God position that Tang San had been able to secure his place as one of the Five God Kings.
His mind raced at lightning speed. Seeing that Da Ming and Er Ming had already exposed the truth, there was no point in denying it.
So he immediately said, "Xiao Wu, let me explain.
I'm doing this only to help Xiao Qi grow stronger.
I can tell you with absolute certainty everything I do is for her own good.
I'd rather let her suffer a little now because, in the future, when she looks back, she will understand my intentions and be grateful for my efforts."
Hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming nearly lost it.
How shameless could Tang San get?
He had originally planned to find Nova, let Nova bask in the Sea God's light, and then make him his son in law to strengthen his faction.
But since he couldn't find Nova, he was forcing Xiao Qi into Nova's place and that wasn't for his own selfish gain?
Xiao Wu sighed. "Brother San, promise me don't make Xiao Qi enter Emotion Inquiry Valley.
That place is too cruel. A child her age can't endure those trials."
Tang San wanted to refuse, but after considering Xiao Wu's role as the Asura Scabbard, he decided to temporarily back down.
After all, keeping Xiao Wu's heart stable was more important right now.
