Chapter 1397: Flee

When she said this, Yali paused for a while. She looked at Tang Wulin with a half-formed smile and said, “As someone who’d experienced it before, I can tell you with certainty that when a girl gives in to a man for the first time, her attitude toward that man will surely change. She’ll remember him forever, and in more serious cases will view that person as more important than her own life. The affairs between a man and a woman are an important part of the relationship.”

“All in all, you stand to gain the most.”

Tang Wulin stared at the Holy Spirit Douluo before him with his mouth agape. Only at the end did he notice that his godmother was mocking him. As he felt unsure whether to laugh or cry, he replied, “Mother, should you be doing this to me? I actually feel depressed.”

Yali said with a smile, “What’s there to be depressed about? A princess shoved herself into your arms, and the two of you pushed her under the bed. A fine young lady has given herself to you and helped you improve to the rank of a Title Douluo. Why’re you feeling dejected? Can she run away still? She’ll only possibly love you all her life. If the love between the two of you endures, there’s no need to be at each other’s side every day. What’s yours will always be yours.”

Tang Wulin suddenly felt that he should not have told her everything. He somehow felt that his godmother was looking at him differently right now. He felt like a playboy under her gaze.

The smile on Yali’s face widened. “Right now, what I want to know is what you plan on doing with that princess? You’ve seen her, all of her, and the two of you have even snuggled together. Although you didn’t actually do it, she’s still a princess. Would she let you go?”

Tang Wulin said as he stared with his mouth agape, “What, what should I do, then?”

Yali said, “The Star Luo Empire is friendly toward the Tang Sect. It’s actually no big deal for you to marry her. After all, with your status, nobody will say anything about you having several wives. You can father many children in the future as well.”

Tang Wulin felt utterly speechless. He was at a loss for words. He spent a long while in silence before he managed to speak, “Mother, do all mothers under the heavens wish their sons to have more wives and to father lots of children?”

Yali broke out in laughter. “Of course! I finally have a son. So, it’s only natural that I wish to have many grandsons and granddaughters in the future. The greatest benefit of becoming a Limit Douluo is that I have plenty of time to help you look after your children.”

The edge of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched. “Mother, I regret telling you all this.”

Yali rolled her eyes, “Regret? Too late for that now. Do you need my help to propose a marriage? At the palace, I mean.”

“No, please don’t.” Tang Wulin was startled. “Mother, can you please stop mocking me? I think that we should leave Star Luo as soon as possible and return home quickly. I want to leave right away!”

Looking at his embarrassment, Yali suddenly realized she had never felt this happy since she adopted this godson.

“You’re not going to be responsible for her?” Yali asked with a smile.

Tang Wulin said with a bitter smile, “What do I have to be responsible for? I’m already being nice by not asking her to be responsible!”

Yali said with a smile, “If that’s the case, we really have to make a move then. Otherwise, we’ll be in hot soup if we’re summoned by the royal family for this.”

Tang Wulin had chosen to run in the end, although he was slightly dejected for being mocked. However, Yali’s advice as a bystander still comforted him very much.

Especially when she said that Gu Yuena would love him for life, it calmed him down enormously.

He contacted the Smiley Face Douluo. Initially, their plan was to make a move after a few days. Tang Wulin even invited a few people for sparring sessions. However, he felt that it was best that they leave as soon as possible, given the circumstances. Dai Yun’er had already resorted to drug him. There was no telling what she would do next. She might even mobilize the empire’s resources to force him to stay. Hence, the sparring sessions with Long Yue and the others did not seem as important right now. He went to meet the Smiley Face Douluo to tell him that he would be leaving Star Luo with his comrades today to return to the Douluo Continent.

Although the Smiley Face Douluo was a little shocked, he hastily arranged for it nonetheless. By midday, Tang Wulin and his comrades were already en route out of Star Luo City with the Tang Sect’s vehicles.

The Star Luo Empire, at the palace.

“What!?” Dai Tianling looked at his daughter before him. His expression was a spectacle to behold.

At first, when he saw the dark rings around his daughter’s eyes, he felt heartbroken. However, when he heard that Dai Yun’er had failed and someone else was rolling the sheets with Tang Wulin last night, he could not contain his anger.

This was the palace! How could someone enter undetected? He even assigned someone to keep an ear on the room for the whole night. It was unbelievably embarrassing!

He nearly fainted from holding his breath out of anger. He staggered and sat on his chair.

When Dai Yun’er saw her father’s ghastly expression, she was startled. She quickly moved near him. She massaged his chest and lightly pounded his back.

“How did this happen? This is humiliating!” Dai Tianling howled.

It was embarrassing enough for his daughter to offer herself to someone, but now she had failed and the person had left just like that. This was truly…

Dai Yun’er said with a lingering sense of fear, “Father, actually, I feel fortunate. Tang Wulin, he… he’s not human. They didn’t stop at all throughout the entire night. My bed almost collapsed. If it had been me, I’d be…”

Dai Tianling was slightly stunned. Men were sensitive creatures when it came to their prowess in bed. He looked at his daughter, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Even as the lord of a country, he was at a loss right now.

He could not blame Tang Wulin as it was his daughter who practically kidnapped him here. According to the plan, he was supposed to catch them red-handed in the sleeping chambers. That way, he could force Tang Wulin to marry Dai Yun’er. However, with the present outcome, how should he act?

“Father, I, I don’t know what to do,” Dai Yun’er pouted.

“Your Majesty, there’s a report. The Tang Sect’s motorcade has just left Star Luo City.”

“They left?”

Dai Tianling was stunned, but he gradually calmed down. He heaved a long sigh. “I suppose it’s good that they’ve left as well.” Actually, he was worried that Tang Wulin would come to seek an explanation. He would accuse his daughter of drugging him, and this entire matter would be even more embarrassing.

Now that Tang Wulin had fled, the matter would come to a close. It was the only way.

“Yun’er, I’ll pick a suitable suitor for you,” Dai Tianling released a long sigh. In this instant, he seemed to have aged considerably.

Dai Yun’er shook her head frantically, “No, Father. Yun’er will not marry anyone. Yun’er will stay by your side and look after you. Father, Yun’er is at fault here, I’ve made you worried.”

…

After they exited the Star Luo City and the cars were on the highway, Tang Wulin finally felt relieved. ‘We made it, somehow!’

The Smiley Face Douluo was in the same car as him. Having experienced the Underworld King Douluo’s surprise attack, he only felt at ease if he was the one personally escorting Tang Wulin onto the ship. His cultivation base was not as powerful as the Holy Spirit Douluo. Consequently, he did not notice that the Sect Master beside him had already broken through to the rank of a Title Douluo without his knowledge.

“Sect Master, you look troubled! Why’re you in such a hurry to leave?” asked Hu Jie.

Tang Wulin replied with a bitter smile, “It’s nothing. I’m worried about the situation back on the Douluo Continent. The Holy Spirit Cult is much more powerful than we thought. The Tang Sect’s foundations are there. I’ll only feel at ease if I return as soon as possible.”

Hu Jie nodded with a grim expression, “That’s true. I didn’t think that the Underworld King Douluo would still be alive. With such an expert on their side, it has truly given us much trouble. I reckon he’s the emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult’s one emperor, two monarchs, and four great heavenly kings hierarchy. I’m afraid that it’d be rare to find someone from the continents who can defeat him in a one-on-one fight. Without the Atlas Douluo, I’m afraid he’s the most powerful person now.”

Tang Wulin currently had the notion of a Limit Douluo’s rank. When he thought about the incident the other day, Tang Wulin nodded in total agreement, “The Underworld King Douluo’s power has indeed exceeded a human’s. When I return, I’ll discuss this with His Excellency the Amorous about our future plans. If the Spirit Pagoda is really in cahoots with the Holy Spirit Cult at a higher level, then the entire continent will surely meet with a great disaster.”

Hu Jie said, “At the very least, I don’t think there’s anyone among the high-ranking experts who could go up against him.”

A quasi-god was equivalent to three demigods. Even with the Holy Spirit Douluo, they would need at least two Limit Douluos to fight against this Underworld King Douluo. However, there were also other experts in the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Spirit Pagoda had rich hidden secrets. Nobody knew how powerful they truly were unless they were forced to play their most powerful card.

Their journey was uneventful. There were no obstacles or surprise attacks from the Holy Spirit Cult. Finally, Tang Wulin brought his comrades to the beach.

The submarine was already waiting for them at sea. They contacted Long Yuxue, and the submarine surfaced to greet them.

“Hall Master Hu, I’ll have to burden you with the matters on Star Luo,” Tang Wulin said to Hu Jie.

Hu Jie chuckled. “Sect Master, you don’t have to worry about the Holy Spirit Cult too much. I’ve got trust in you and your comrades. Hence, you must take good care of yourself. You’re the hope of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.”
