Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 229 Wang Dong'er's Speechlessness

Perhaps Deng Mu ate something that caused his martial soul to evolve.

Back then, her third brother told her that there were many good things in Douluo Continent, and the best thing was the immortal herb.

Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Wu didn't even consider that possibility. Only if the two of them explicitly said so would Xiao Wu have even the slightest suspicion.

However, they couldn't say it outright. They had no evidence to prove it, and it was unlikely that Sister Xiaowu would believe it. Even if she did believe it, if the investigation revealed it was false, then the two of them would be finished.

……

Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er arrived at Deng Mu's room.

As soon as she entered the room, Wang Dong'er saw Deng Mu and Huo Yutong chatting.

When Deng Mu saw Wang Dong'er arrive, he smiled and said, "Dong'er, why aren't you with your sister?"

The thought of Wang Dong'er calling her mother "sister" made Deng Mu burst into laughter.

This isn't his fault; it's Xiao Wu's fault. She called herself "older sister" in front of him, so that's the only way he could address her.

Huo Yutong, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised to see Wang Dong'er arrive: "Yes, Dong'er, why aren't you with Sister Xiaowu?"

Deng Mu had told her about Xiao Wu, and she thought Wang Dong'er wouldn't come looking for them today.

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, inwardly cursing, "My mom is too capricious. Why is she pretending to be so young for no reason? Now I don't even know how to respond."

The thought of having to tell Deng Mu their true identities later made her feel extremely embarrassed.

It's incredibly awkward to think about a son-in-law calling his mother-in-law "sister."

Wang Dong'er's face flushed red and then paled. To cover up her embarrassment, she waved her hand casually, "Oh dear, don't mention it. She's very busy right now, chatting with my second and third uncles."

Deng Mu chuckled and asked, "Dong'er, is Sister Xiaowu your biological sister or your cousin?"

Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat. She cursed Deng Mu inwardly for bringing up such a sensitive topic, but forced a smile and said irritably, "Family, blood relatives! Alright, why are you so interested in my family's kinship?"

She was a little anxious, wanting to quickly change the subject, but she was also afraid that if she made it too obvious, it would arouse suspicion.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that Deng Mu knew her mother's identity and was deliberately asking her about her relationship with her mother, just to tease her.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong'er thought to herself, "You've already taken... no, I'll remember this grudge."

Wang Dong'er was puzzled as to why she would think that you already had a way to die.

Huo Yutong noticed Wang Dong'er's discomfort and assumed she just didn't want to talk about family matters, so she smoothed things over by saying, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Dong'er, won't you show us around the Haotian Sect?"

I've been cultivating inside Haotian Fort every day for a while now, so I haven't had a chance to explore it.

Wang Dong'er snapped out of her daze and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll show you around Haotian Fort."

It took a lot of time to condense the soul rings and I also repaired them for a while, so I forgot to take Huo Yutong and Deng Mu on a tour.

The three left the room, with Wang Dong'er walking in front, introducing the place as they went: "This Haotian Fortress is the core of our Haotian Sect, with a long history and profound heritage..."

Huo Yutong and Deng Mu listened to Wang Dong'er's explanation, nodding from time to time to show that they understood.

After walking for a while, Wang Dong'er led Deng Mu and Huo Yutong to a room containing portraits of many people.

Deng Mu quickly recognized the two portraits: one was Tang Hao's, and the other was Tang San's.

As for why he recognized Tang San, it was because he had seen Tang San's portrait before.

Huo Yutong pointed at Tang San's portrait, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "This must be Senior Tang San, right? He is indeed extraordinary. I've heard of his legendary deeds; he saved the entire Douluo Continent."

When Tang San was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of her mother, who had told her many stories.

Thinking of her mother, Huo Yutong couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Looking at Tang San's portrait, Wang Dong'er's face showed a hint of pride: "That's right, this is Tang San. My... my sister and the others have always admired him."

She felt somewhat relieved; thankfully, she reacted quickly, otherwise her identity would have been exposed.

Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong'er and said with a smile, "Dong'er, you shouldn't have the surname Wang, right? It should be Tang, shouldn't it?"

Upon hearing Deng Mu's words, Wang Dong'er's heart clenched, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

But Wang Dong'er still pretended to be calm and asked in feigned confusion, "What makes you say that? Of course my surname is Wang."

But she was inwardly panicking, wondering if Deng Mu had already noticed something.

Deng Mu chuckled and said, "So, your father was a member of the Haotian Sect, and your mother was also a member of the Haotian Sect?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and rolled her eyes, saying, "My mother is from the Haotian Sect. You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?"

Li Zhi was puzzled. What was wrong with Deng Mu today? Why was he suddenly so interested in his background?

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Huo Yutong quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Deng Mu, please stop asking. Dong'er is getting annoyed by your questions. Let's continue our tour. I'd really like to see the other interesting places in Haotian Fortress."

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu scratched his head and said, "I was just a little curious, Dong'er, don't mind it."

I can't say any more, or I'll anger Wang Dong'er, and then things will get complicated.

Wang Dong'er glared at Deng Mu, and for some reason suddenly felt like punching him.

The three continued their tour of Haotian Fort. Wang Dong'er outwardly regained her composure and enthusiastically introduced the various buildings and facilities as usual, but she was still bothered by Deng Mu's questioning and would occasionally glance at him warily.

Now she suspected that Deng Mu's behavior was because her mother had let it slip.

They quickly finished touring the entire Haotian Fortress, having basically visited all the places that were accessible.

Wang Dong'er, feeling a little proud, asked Deng Mu and Huo Yutong, "Deng Mu, Yutong, what do you think?"

Huo Yutong's eyes sparkled as she sincerely exclaimed, "Dong'er, Haotian Fort is truly wonderful. It would be perfect if we could meet the legendary Tang San."

Tang San was her childhood idol, and she would be truly content if she could see him.

Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong and said, "If you want to see Tang San, you have to go to the legendary God Realm."

There are legends about the God Realm in Douluo Continent, so there's nothing wrong with what he said.

Huo Yutong nodded as she listened to Deng Mu's words, thinking to herself that she must become a god and meet the legendary Tang San.

I just don't know what the real Tang San is like.

Wang Dong'er said with a smile, "Alright, alright, it's time for us to go have lunch."

He was thinking that he would fulfill Huo Yutong's wish to meet her father in the future.
