Chapter 1269: A Reunion of the Whole Family

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment before he reacted to the situation. If the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult were related, the Spirit Pagoda would, no doubt, be considered one of the perpetrators who destroyed Shrek Academy and the assailant of the Atlas Douluo!

“Your father’s condition was rather precarious. You should thank your immortal grass friends properly. Your father was attacked by an evil soul master and his life force was extracted. He would have died if not for your immortal grass friends who used their immortal energies to stabilize his condition. Only then could he be saved when I tended to him. However, his origin power has been injured, so he would need some time to recuperate. His life is out of danger now.”

Tang Wulin felt relieved. He could sense the Damask Tulip and the rest of the five great immortal grasses in the room next door. His father would survive. As he watched his mother sleeping soundly, all the evil energy gathering in his chest was replaced by a deep affection for his family. He felt indebted to the gods in heaven. It seemed like heaven was still watching over him!

The Holy Spirit Douluo stood up and walked to Tang Wulin’s side. “Stay here and accompany your parents. We’ll discuss about you later.”

“Sure! Your Excellency, your good graces are beyond my gratitude.” Tang Wulin bowed with heartfelt emotions toward the Holy Spirit Douluo.

Yali heaved a soft sigh. “I’ve saved countless people in my lifetime, yet I didn’t manage to save him. The heavens are unjust! I’ve something to discuss with you when your parents have recovered.” At this point, a wisp of deep sorrow flashed past her eyes. She pulled open the door and left.

Tang Wulin sighed with relief. Yes! The heavens were unjust. The Atlas Douluo sacrificed himself for Shrek Academy, and yet, his soul was extracted. Tang Wulin wished that he had saved the Atlas Douluo’s soul then.

Tang Wulin walked to his father’s bedside quietly. He knelt on the floor and stretched out his hand to touch his father’s forehead. His father’s forehead felt rather cold as his aura was much weaker than ordinary people’s. It was a sign of degenerative blood essence. Fortunately, his vital signs were stable.

In any case, there were ways to treat a man’s degenerative blood essence. It would be fine as long as he lived.

It had been over a decade since he last saw his parents. They had more white hair now and were evidently older. There were wrinkles on his father’s forehead as he had a scowl all the while. Tang Wulin had pined for them over a decade. How could they not miss him as well?

Tang Wulin looked at his father, then he turned around to look at his mother. He kissed his mother’s cheek softly. Tang Wulin felt a lump in his throat and tears began to stream down his face. The chill on his chest appeared once again which helped calm down his agitated emotions.

Tang Wulin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The Ice God Pearl was immensely helpful to him, though it had also diminished his emotions.

Tang Wulin took a seat by the bed. He was about to meditate, yet Na’er’s words reverberated in his mind. She and Gu Yue were actually the same person. Someone with two personalities whereby Gu Yuena was her true complete appearance. He had always loved Gu Yue, but Na’er was his sister! They had sentiments in their relationship too. He would never be willing to part with either of them.

Na’er said that the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline he inherited was special. Yet, both of them also inherited the Silver Dragon King’s bloodline. Na’er left and did not remain with him. Even though Na’er told him many things that day which dispelled most of his uncertainties, she had also created other uncertainties.

For example, what were Gu Yue’s difficulties? Na’er did not go into further details. What sort of difficulties would trouble Gu Yue so much that she could not stay with him despite her abilities? In fact, she even avoided Tang Wulin and feigned her amnesia to stay with him at one point.

Currently, Tang Wulin’s mind was akin to a pile of messed hay. He could not calm down his emotions.

However, he had managed to save his parents from that place regardless. At the very least, they were alive. He now understood the situation between Gu Yue and Na’er better. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. He hoped that from the depths of misfortune, bliss would appear. He would certainly put in effort into becoming more powerful.

The outburst which transformed him into the destructive Blood Dragon had resulted in a loss of control, but it had also elevated his Golden Dragon King Bloodline. It seemed like a silent purification process which transformed his bloodline power and aura.

His Mysterious Heaven Method’s soul power circulated quietly. Due to the influence of the balanced and mild Mysterious Heaven Method and being immersed in the Ice God Pearl’s nourishment, the agitation in his heart was soon quelled. He lost count of the time that he was in the meditative state.

Streams of lights surged in from the outside and bored silently into the area between Tang Wulin’s brows. The group of immortal grasses could return home upon sensing Tang Wulin’s presence.

The Blood Dragon Transformation had a huge impact on him and had brought even bigger changes. He needed time to absorb and adapt to the changes. It was not a matter that could be accomplished over a day. Whatever it was, he could not deny that he had taken a huge step forward as a result. Judging by the elevation speed of his cultivation base, he had gained a lot, and it would certainly shorten the time in removing the Golden Dragon King’s latter seals. As foretold by Gu Yuena, the Golden Dragon King’s aura would lead him down a path of destruction in the future. Thus, it would be better for him to break the seals at a slower pace.

Early in the morning, the sound of soft moans awoke Tang Wulin from his meditation. He looked toward the bed at his side subconsciously. He found his mother moaning. Her eyes were slightly open but still a little hazy.

However, she soon noticed Tang Wulin sitting by her side. Her hazy eyes widened gradually while her pupils were gently becoming more radiant.

“Mother.” Tang Wulin called out excitedly albeit in a soft tone. He grabbed his mother’s hand tightly.

Tears streamed down Lang Yue’s eyes as she tried to restrain her sniffles. Her lips quivered as she looked at Tang Wulin in disbelief.

The string of events had gone by so fast that she did not have the chance to see her son’s face clearly. Later, she learned from the others that it was Tang Wulin who had saved her.

At present, she looked at the boy who looked like someone she knew, yet he had grown up now with distinctive qualities and a handsome face. The mere thought of him calling her ‘Mother’ made Lang Yue lose control of her emotions!

They had parted for over a decade. It had been more than ten years. Her heart was filled with guilt. Tang Wulin was only ten years old when they were forced to leave him behind. A ten-year-old boy who had to bear and endure so much alone would have gone through tough times. Lang Yue cried profusely each time she thought of this.

She struggled to sit up. Tang Wulin hastily helped his mother. Lang Yue hugged her son. All of a sudden, she could not contain her emotions and burst out sobbing aloud.

Tang Wulin did not stop his mother from crying. Instead, he dispersed a layer of soul power to enshroud both himself and his mother so that his father would not be disturbed in his sleep.

Lang Yue was at a loss for words. She could only cry to let go of her emotions. Tears were streaming down Tang Wulin’s face similarly. He sensed the familiar aura radiating from his mother’s body. There was also the chilling coldness that was being constantly released from the Ice God Pearl. All at once, his heart swelled and he felt a lump in his throat. Tears, akin to a mighty torrent, flowed down his face.

After a long while, Lang Yue gradually gained control over her emotions. She stood up slowly and looked toward Tang Wulin through misty eyes. Her gaze made her look like she was in a daze, but she did not take her eyes off his face all this while. It seemed like she was trying to memorize every single part of him at this very moment and refusing to let go of her child for even the slightest bit.

“Mother,” called out Tang Wulin softly.

“My child!” Lang Yue hugged Tang Wulin as tears streamed down her face again.
