The next day, Xiao Wu woke up from bed and saw Zhao Ling still sound asleep. She propped herself up, gently pecked Zhao Ling's cheek, and then put on her clothes before leaving the room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out, she saw four pairs of eyes fixed on her, which made her feel very awkward.
Ah Yin walked forward, glanced into the room, and then asked Xiao Wu.
"Little girl, what happened? Weren't all of us supposed to be sleeping in Little Qi's room? How did you and husband end up in his room when you woke up?"
"Exactly, exactly... Mom, why did Brother Ling specifically carry you out of the room? Did you do something to Brother Ling while we were all exhausted?"
Tang Wutong complained to Xiao Wu, puffing out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Wu saw her daughter and immediately remembered the anxious look she had in her memories due to her daughter's disappearance. Instinctively, she rushed forward and pulled her daughter into a hug, saying softly.
"Little Qi, it's so good that you're okay. Your sudden disappearance made Mom so worried about you..."
Tang Wutong was instantly bewildered by Xiao Wu's demeanor. What was wrong with her mother just now?
She felt that her mother seemed different from before, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly how.
As Tang Wutong was filled with confusion, she noticed Xiao Wu releasing her and then directly throwing herself into her grandmother's embrace, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
"Mom, it's really great that you're okay. Xiao Wu missed you so much..."
Xiao Rou was also utterly confused by her daughter's expression. This daughter felt a bit off, very off indeed.
Tang Wutong couldn't help but consider a possibility and tentatively asked Xiao Wu: "Mom, did you also come back from ten thousand years later?"
Tang Wutong's words greatly startled Xiao Rou, Liu Erlong, and Ah Yin. They all looked at Xiao Wu in shock.
After Xiao Wu slowly recovered from her reunion emotions, she replied to Tang Wutong.
"I don't know if this counts as coming back from ten thousand years later. Anyway, my primary consciousness is still the 'me' of this world. But I seem to have had a dream. In that dream, your grandma perished looking for your grandpa in the Great Calamity Land.
I became an orphan without parents, but I met many friends in the human world and recognized Mama Erlong as my godmother. Besides that..."
Xiao Wu looked towards Ah Yin and continued.
"In that dream, Aunt Yin'er married a man named Tang Hao, and when he was in his eighties, he deceived her, and she actually willingly sacrificed her life to become Tang Hao's last spirit ring, earning him the title of the youngest Titled Douluo.
And when I was cultivating in the human world, I was also targeted by the father and son, Tang Hao and Tang San. Later, Tang San kept pestering me. Although I found it utterly disgusting, I couldn't shake him off no matter what.
Later, he even coerced me and my two brothers to sacrifice our hundred-thousand-year spirit rings to him. Although he saved me later, he then made me the scabbard for the Asura God Blade, making me sacrifice again for him to obtain dual divine positions. The most shameless thing is that he, he even coerced me into marrying him. That, that father and son pair is disgusting."
What??? Xiao Wu's words greatly shocked the four women, and Tang Wutong was somewhat dumbfounded.
In her memories, there was never a father figure, which she found very strange. Why didn't she have a father?
And whenever "father" was mentioned, she would instinctively feel disgusted, even experiencing extreme aversion.
Now, after hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, she suddenly understood. If her father was indeed such a scumbag and a good-for-nothing, it was no wonder she would despise that father, and even choose to forget his existence.
Tang Wutong now felt that not remembering her father was indeed a good thing. If she still remembered that scumbag father now, she probably would instinctively feel sick to her stomach, right?
Tang Wutong quickly ran forward, hugged Xiao Wu tightly, and softly comforted her.
"Mom, don't be afraid. Since you've returned from ten thousand years later, that beast can never coerce you again. With Brother Ling protecting you, you don't need to be afraid."
"Mm..." Xiao Wu also nodded in deep agreement after hearing this. She tightly embraced her mother and daughter, feeling that she had never been this happy before.
Ah Yin, meanwhile, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had often seen the content Zhao Ling mentioned in his diary, she had never seen Zhao Ling expose these specific details.
Many parts of Xiao Wu's dream coincided with Zhao Ling's diary content, but they were even more detailed. It even revealed that Tang Hao fell in love with her in the dream solely for her spirit ring.
It even exposed that scoundrel named Tang San, who was also a beast who would stop at nothing to gain strength. It wasn't enough that he deceived Xiao Wu; he even tricked her two brothers into sacrificing their hundred-thousand-year spirit rings.
Ah Yin immediately felt disgust towards Tang Hao and Tang San, and indeed, the entire Clear Sky Sect.
Of course, although Tang Wutong also carried the Tang surname, she was still a girl, Xiao Wu's biological daughter, and her own granddaughter, so she certainly wouldn't detest her.
However, Ah Yin had secretly made up her mind that if she ever had the chance to meet Tang Hao, Tang San, or any disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, she would definitely give them a severe "lesson."
Tang Wutong also had this thought at the moment. She didn't care that Tang San might be her father or Tang Hao her grandfather. If she ever got the chance, she would absolutely beat those scoundrels from the Clear Sky Sect to death.
They dared to coerce her grandma and mother, forcing them to sacrifice repeatedly and even playing with their emotions. If she didn't avenge this, Tang Wutong would write her name backward.
Tang Wutong even wanted to change her surname now; she felt that having the Tang surname was disgusting.
However, Xiao Wu gently comforted her, saving her from being so flustered. This girl was so grown up, yet still acted like a child. How could she satisfy her husband later?
While the five women were discussing these matters, Zhao Ling had actually woken up long ago. To be precise, when Xiao Wu woke up just now and kissed him, that kiss woke him up.
However, he didn't open his eyes. Instead, he wanted to see what this girl would do next. But unexpectedly, Xiao Wu actually put on her clothes and left the room, even bumping into the four women at the door.
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's description of Tang Hao and Tang San, he couldn't help but give another thumbs-up to the system's wickedness.
Well done! He had previously feared that Xiao Wu, coming from ten thousand years later, would have ill feelings towards him.
With the system's intervention like this, it only highlighted how good he was to her. There should be no possibility of Xiao Wu having second thoughts about him in the future, right?
