I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.
Chapter 362 A Butterfly Falls Among the Stars
Three days before returning to Poseidon Island.
It was dusk, and the dim sunlight was slowly descending, making way for the approaching darkness.
However, before the setting sun disappeared, it seemed to have given everything to the sea, draping the entire ocean in a golden armor, making the surging waves, caused by the rising tide, resemble a general galloping across a battlefield.
At this moment, two figures were quietly admiring the beautiful scenery on a high mountain. Little did they know that in the eyes of outsiders, these two were even more dazzling and captivating than the scenery itself.
The two were Xu Xingyu and Wang Dong'er. At this moment, Wang Dong'er was being held in Xu Xingyu's arms like a little princess. In contrast, Wang Dong'er had a satisfied expression on her face as she felt Xu Xingyu's masculine energy, as if she was enjoying the care given to her prince.
As for why the two of them were admiring the scenery instead of focusing on their own lives, it all started with the Tang Wutong incident.
After Xu Xingyu sealed away Tang Wutong, who had rolled her eyes, Wang Dong'er's mother, Xiao Wu, finally managed to send a wisp of her divine sense through the mark of the Sea God's test to check on the situation.
Wang Dong'er was extremely dissatisfied with this. "You didn't come when I was about to be devoured by that imposter, but now that it's all over, you, who are both my mother and the proctor, finally show up?!"
At that time, Wang Dong'er almost thought that you were just like that scoundrel of a father, Tang San, hoping to be devoured by this imposter Tang Wutong so that you could have an obedient daughter.
To be honest, Xu Xingyu also began to have some doubts about the behavior of this Mrs. Tang because of this incident. After all, his understanding of Xiao Wu was mostly based on what he learned from the Douluo Continent books in his previous life, and whether the Xiao Wu described there was her whole story was still up for debate.
No one knows whether Xiao Wu Zi picked up any other bad habits from Tang San during the years she was married to him, so no one dared to be careless in front of her mother-in-law, Xu Xing Yu.
If anything goes wrong, he will not hesitate to burn his divine sense on this floor to hold Xiao Wu back and notify his main body to come and take Wang Dong'er away.
Xiao Wu felt somewhat helpless about the wariness in their eyes. It wasn't that she didn't understand why her daughter and son-in-law were so wary of her; after all, what her husband had done had rapidly diminished her trust in him, so it was normal for her, as his wife, not to be trusted.
But this is really eye-catching!!! She admits that she was somewhat of a bystander when things happened, mainly to prove to her best friend that the mistress was the one at fault, but she still panicked when Dong'er was really about to be devoured.
In her heart, the imposter who called herself Tang Wutong might be more obedient than Wang Dong'er and closer to what Wang Dong'er looked like when she was a child, but an imposter is still an imposter.
If she were to accept this imposter, Xiao Wu would feel utterly unworthy of being a mother, and her deceased, elderly mother would likely rise from her grave and berate her.
Xiao Wu now understands how hard it must have been for her mother to take care of her without her father's company.
Although her husband was not dead, it was clear that he treated the children more as tools than as educators, and always claimed it was for their daughter's good.
Xiao Wu does indeed prefer that her daughter be with someone more devoted, but she cannot condone her husband's actions in doing so.
So she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and grievances and apologize to her daughter, saying that she wanted to come over when she found out, but there was a problem with the transmission of her divine sense.
Of course, this is hardly an excuse, because at the moment Xiao Wu was about to transmit her divine sense, she really encountered an obstacle. So if Xu Xingyu hadn't transmitted in time, she would have felt guilty to death for causing her daughter's death.
Therefore, even though she was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Xingyu's romantic relationships, she was still glad that he was her son-in-law, at least her daughter would not be bullied by anyone other than him.
Although Xu Xingyu and Wang Dong'er didn't quite believe Xiao Wu's explanation, they could still sense from her tone that she really wanted to save her daughter at that time. So they gave her a way out, saying that they should leave it at that for now, and if she felt guilty, she should do something practical, such as making amends.
Xiao Wu agreed to the compensation, since she was in charge of Seagod Island and it was truly inexcusable that such a thing had happened.
What troubled Xiao Wu was what she could give them as compensation.
Tang Clan manuals? Forget it, the Ice and Fire Eyes are in their hands, and they've probably already seen all the Tang Clan manuals that were hidden there. Besides, she herself only has a superficial understanding of the Tang Clan manuals.
Divine artifact? I'm sorry, the only divine artifact she has is the Trident of Poseidon, while the one that originally belonged to Wang Dong'er in the future is already considered theirs.
Should they lower the difficulty of their daughter's divine examination? Given their current personalities, I think they would be more inclined to increase the difficulty, so that her foundation after becoming a god would be more solid, and she wouldn't end up in the same situation as her husband who ascended to the divine realm.
After much deliberation, Xiao Wu could only give Xu Xingyu a copy of the spear techniques she had previously given to her daughter. These were the three spear techniques that Tang Wulin would receive ten thousand years later in the original story: "Pointing at a Thousand Men," "White Clouds Through the Ages," and "Unpredictable Storms."
Although Xu Xingyu looked down on Tang San, a hypocrite who only relied on his past achievements and had no originality, she had to admit that the three skills adapted from the Thirteen Halberds of the Sea God created by the previous Sea God were still quite good.
The "Pointing at a Thousand People" technique can be integrated into Xu Xingyu's existing spear technique, greatly enhancing his spear intent and quickly elevating it from intent to the level of soul.
My dear, there's more to this chapter! ^.^
The time and space laws contained in Baiyun Qianzai and Wuding Fengbo can be directly related to Xu Xingyu's unlocking of space and time element manipulation in the seventh and eighth rings respectively. This allows him to better understand and master these two laws.
Of course, for Xu Xingyu, he would only use these shooting techniques to improve his own, because those who imitate others will perish, while those who learn from others will live.
One should never blindly imitate others; one must forge one's own path to achieve success. Otherwise, one will only be stuck at a certain level and unable to progress.
However, something else Xiao Wu gave him was far more precious than his marksmanship: a helmet from the Angelic Armor set from ten thousand years ago, which contained fragments of the Angelic Godhood.
Ten thousand years ago, the Angel Goddess Qian Renxue burned her divine position to gain immense power in order to defeat Tang San, who had already achieved dual godhood with Xiao Wu. However, even with this, she and her mother, the Rakshasa Goddess Bibi Dong, together still could not defeat Tang San, who possessed the power of the Sea God and the Asura God.
This also caused the two divine positions belonging to Rakshasa and Angel to be shattered. Afterwards, there were no more Rakshasa or Angel gods. Only the remaining fragments of gods can prove their existence.
Xu Xingyu knew that Huo Yuhao possessed something belonging to the Rakshasa God, and it was very likely a fragment of divine equipment, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to possess the same Killing God Domain as Wang Dong'er. However, he really didn't expect that the helmet from the Angelic Divine Equipment would be in the hands of the Tang family.
He had assumed that the Angelic Armor and other divine artifacts would be in the hands of the current Angelic family! It seems that Qian Renxue's fate after the battle of the two gods was not as simple as described in the original work.
After dealing with this matter, Xiao Wu chose to suspend Wang Dong'er's divine test for three days, because for her daughter's safety, she needed to first investigate whether there were any traces of her husband's divine consciousness left behind on Seagod Island.
Xu Xingyu stated that he would stay on Seagod Island during this period because, after this incident, he simply could not have any trust in this place filled with faith in Tang San.
As for the people of Seagod Island opposing his arrival, that's none of his business. His cultivation level might only be at the Soul Douluo level, but unless Tang San or Xiao Wu personally intervenes, he could completely raze the entire Seagod Island to the ground.
Xiao Wu did not object to Xu Xingyu's decision. She knew that the two of them trusted her at most a little more than her husband did, and that trust was only because she was Wang Dong'er's mother.
Moreover, this also shows that Xu Xingyu, the son-in-law, cares about his daughter, so this at least proves that his daughter still holds a certain place in his heart.
That's why the two of them are currently enjoying the sunset on Poseidon Island. With the Nine Trials of Poseidon suspended, Wang Dong'er has some free time and plans to indulge herself for the next three days, since Xu Xingyu will protect her during this time.
Of course, when Xu Xingyu teleported over using spatial power, he didn't receive a very friendly welcome. After all, this hadn't been discussed with anyone beforehand, so the moment he arrived, Seagod Island immediately activated its highest level of alert.
Fortunately, just as Xu Xingyu was deciding whether to challenge the High Priest of the Sea God, Xiao Wu, as the Sea God's representative, issued a divine decree to stop the Sea God Island side, which relieved Xu Xingyu of the worry about being blocked from entering or leaving the Sea God Island.
However, Xiao Wu's actions at most solved the problem of Xu Xingyu not being regarded as an enemy by Seagod Island. There are still some people on Seagod Island who are very dissatisfied with Xu Xingyu's existence.
The main reason is that he actually won the heart of Wang Dong'er, the most noble successor of the Sea God Island, which filled countless suitors on the island with jealousy and resentment.
Therefore, in order to avoid disturbing his and Wang Dong'er's time together, Xu Xingyu had to beat up all those so-called suitors. After realizing that the difference between them and Xu Xingyu was like that between a firefly and the bright moon, they stopped bothering the two of them, and they were finally able to have their own time.
Back in the present, Wang Dong'er looked at the setting sun about to disappear into darkness and said, "How was it, Xingyu-ge? I told you the scenery here was pretty good, wasn't it?"
"It is quite beautiful; this kind of sunset is still quite rare on the mainland." Xu Xingyu said to the girl with a faint smile, "But the beauty in front of us is even more beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er's face immediately turned bright red, and she raised her hand shyly, exclaiming, "What are you saying all of a sudden!"
Xu Xingyu, completely ignoring the shy girl in front of her, continued to tease, "What? You're shy already? Where did that courage you showed in the Sea of Spirituality go?"
"That...that...that was just a strategy to disrupt Tang Wutong's concentration!!! I'm not that shameless!"
At this moment, Wang Dong'er recalled the actions she had taken in the Sea of Spirit, and now she wanted to turn into an ostrich and bury her head in the ground to escape the truth.
Indeed, there were better ways at that time, but perhaps because she was always a little jealous of Gu Yuena and Ma Xiaotao who had gotten there first, Wang Dong'er's first thought was that method.
Anyway, it's just something I'm doing in the sea of consciousness, a kind of practice for the future.
She was very glad she made that choice, because it proved that she still had many shortcomings. It also made her understand what Ma Xiaotao had said when she complained to her sisters: Xu Xingyu was really too strong.
I really admire Gu Yuena for being able to keep up with her opponent's pace, which made for a very enjoyable match for both of them.
She is far from reaching that standard now, so she needs to work hard to cultivate so that she can catch up with Xu Xingyu's level.
Just as Wang Dong'er was lost in thought, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and saw Xu Xingyu suddenly pick her up in a princess carry!
"Since the previous attempts were just to distract Tang Wutong, why don't we make it a real one this time?"
After saying that, he carried Wang Dong'er toward the other party's residence. Along the way, Wang Dong'er blushed and made excuses such as she had not expected such a thing, while Xu Xingyu responded by saying that she was right no matter what.
That night, a pink and blue butterfly flew in the star-studded night, chasing the stars in the sky, trying to become one of them.
However, no matter how far it flew, the distance between it and the sea of stars was too great. It could only keep moving forward and hope that its actions would attract the attention of the stars.
The stars in the sky, watching the butterfly strive towards the sea of stars where it resided, felt a touch of emotion at its hard work and struggle.
Just as the butterfly was about to collapse from exhaustion, the stars intervened, enveloping its body in countless rays of light. With the stars' blessing, the butterfly regained its vitality.
After that, whenever the butterfly exhausts all its strength, the stars will give it the strength to continue moving forward. However, this strength only restores the physical fatigue, not the mental one.
Even so, the butterfly gritted its teeth and continued forward despite its fatigue, and finally, guided by the stars, it successfully merged with the starry sky.
