Chapter 430 - Silent Moments

Liu Yuxin meant what she said, Xu Lizhi for some reason.

Had a knack for saying the right thing. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought he was a player like Yue Zhengyu.

But he wasn't, he was simply speaking from the heart.

"Come on Luzhi."

"Hm? Where are we going?"

"Hehe, if I don't say, will you not follow?"

Xu Lizhi started to shake his head before saying."I would always follow you, no matter the reason or where."

Liu Yuxin didn't say anything as she started to drag him by the hands as he followed her lead.

Tang Wulin glanced up at the sky, it was approaching nighttime as the sun started to set. As a gentle breeze swept through the street, he was walking down.

The streets were no longer loud but were gradually getting quieter as the night time approached. The people are getting ready to pack up and go home.

As he walked down the path, everyone would smile at him, waving, bowing and some would even prostrate themselves to him.

It was a strange feeling, to have the whole city-loving him.

Then again it wasn't just the whole city but the entire world, after the thing he has done and his achievement.

Even now, he could feel the faith energy continuously coming to him from the humans of the world.

The amount of faith energy he was gaining was stunning, surpassing the millions and closing in on the billions.

But if that wasn't enough, the amount actually increases just today from the soul beasts around the world.

After they shattered the God-King's curse that was surrounding all of them, every soul beast in the world.

Started to pray fervently to him, plant soul beast, sea soul beast, and all of the land ones were praying. Even the beasts that weren't on this planet but in the galaxy were also starting to send their earnest prayer to him.

All of them were grateful for what he did.

It was only because he restricted the faith energy from showing on this plane that the people aren't seeing it.

Him being surrounded by moths of energy.

"Oh? Wulin, you aren't there?"

Mu Xi's voice rang out from Tang Wulin left causing him to see her walking to him with a smile.

"If Xu Xiaoyan told you, why aren't you there with her?"

"Oh, I was talking with my dad, we were telling those at the blacksmith association to hurry up and come.

"Right, some of them are close to the Limit Douluo level."

Tang Wulin nodded his head while Mu Xi tilted her head, gazing thoughtfully at Tang Wulin with a faint smile.

"You seem more relaxed lately... Is it because of your recent Godhood?"

"Kinda... With this god position, I am constantly feeling everything making me relax."

"Ahh but I don't think that is all, is it? Could it be you just feel safe with us around?"

Tang Wulin didn't say anything, his eyes gazing at the grin on My Xi's face as if she was happy at guessing his situation.

"Hm maybe."

"Denying it won't make you feel better." Mu Xi shook her head as she moved towards Tang Wulin, resting her head on his c_h_e_s_t.

"Hm fine, I do feel safe."

"See? Doesn't it feel better-."

Mu Xi was silenced as she felt Tang Wulin tenderly kissing her, arms pulling her closer into his embrace while the other one held her head.

Not only that but the world had warped, leading both Mu Xi and Tang Wulin to appear in an alleyway with no one watching.

Mu Xi's figure trembled as she leaned in more, while her arms wrapped around Tang Wulin.

But if that wasn't enough, the hand that was holding her went down. His hand grabbing on to something delicate.

Tang Wulin felt Mu Xi tremble as they kissed while her grip tightened.

It was only after a bit that they parted but their face was still close to each other.

"I miss you so much." Mu Xi began to move closer."After this war... Can we stop involving ourselves in all of these troublesome affairs..."

"Haha, I thought you found these affairs interesting?"

"Stop mixing me up with you... Or Xinglan, both of you battle maniacs are annoying."

"Maybe... But you're right, it has gotten tiresome."

Tang Wulin lips found themselves on Mu Xi's neck causing her to tremble again but she still spoke.

"So..."

"After this."

Tang Wulin moved up towards her lips, after a quick peck.

"We should just relax... All of the troublesome affairs can be handled by the others."

"That's wonderful... All I want to do is just blacksmithing, relaxing, and spending time with you."

"That's all?"

"Hush... I already have all the things I wanted in this world... So I want to live simple now, no more extravagant life for me after this war."

Tang Wulin smiled as he inwardly agreed with Mu Xi. While he wouldn't mind a new challenge, he really didn't want to be caught up with any drama.

This one year has been a pain in the a_s_s and still continues to be a pain in the ass. And to think in two months, it will be his birthday.

"I agree."

Once again he captured Mu Xi's lips, while hands began to move all over her body after he pressed her against the wall.

"...We should be going to the others. I'm sure they should be there or most of them."

"Right... But I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"I want you."

"And I want you too."

Mu Xi's charming smile grew even more as she gave Tang Wulin one last kiss before she moved into his embrace.

"That's enough, we can continue later... Now go to everyone."

"Fine but this time the world won't be seeing us for a while."

Mu Xi raised a brow at this."How long is a while?"

"We will be back in two weeks."

Tang Wulin laughed as he saw the huge blush on Mu Xi's face. He had held Mu Xi tightly before he started to warp the world, moving towards the meeting spot.

Which was a house he built that all of them can go for peace and without being disturbed.

A week has passed since Tang Wulin returned, with news spreading that the abyssal plane has decisively been defeated.

And that Douluo World was no longer affected by the threat of those other planes.

But the news about the upcoming threat has been kept hidden away by the higher-ups of all of the empire and organization.

Not only to not cause another panic but also the fear of what might happen if the people hear about this.

There have been three consecutive assaults on this world so far. The people of the Douluo Plane were somehow able to.

To withstand it all but even then all of it had taken a toll on them.

They didn't wish to test their luck.

During this time, Tang Hao and Ah Yin have been carefully regulating the abyssal energy throughout the whole plane.

Typically they would have been forced to go back to sleep, but Tang Wulin had warped reality to make it so.

They could distribute energy without having to sleep.

It was only until they could anchor the position to the God Star that was still being made in the garden.

As they both knew a God Star couldn't be instantly made even though the core had been born. It still needed resources and energy to continue its growth before it could become a true God Star.

Fortunately, Tang Wulin said he had that covered causing them to leave it to him since he believed he could do it.

In the Tenrou City...

"It should be here right?"

"Yeah, I can sense them inside, let's go."

Ah Yin replied to Tang Hao as she moved towards the door of the tall house before knocking on the door.

After a few seconds, they began to hear movement from the inside of the building. In the next second, the door was opened up by Lang Yue whose eyes widened in surprise.

"Ah Yin? Tang Hao? What are you guys doing here?"

"Hello, we just wanted to talk to both of you."

"About Wulin?"

"That as well."

Lang Yue furrowed her brows but she still both of them before closing the door and leading them to the living room.

Tang Ziran was surprised to see them but he kind of expected this.

"It's about Wulin?"

"They said it was a part of it."

As Lang Yue led them to the couch and put down some tea for both of them, she went down to sit next to Tang Ziran.

After everyone was accommodated, Ah Yin was the first one to speak up.

"First, I want to thank you both, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for taking care of our grandson, thank you for raising him with so much love. And above all else, thank you for never giving up on him."

Both of the couple's eyes widened when they saw the god before them bowing her head.

It wasn't just her but Tang Hao as well, he too was eternally grateful for them.

"Please don't bow your head. It wasn't anything at all."

"It really was. The fact you took care of our grandson even though he wasn't yours. Giving him a childhood that was filled with love and support, you have all our thanks."

Tang Hao said all of this with his fist clenching.

How could he not be grateful?

Both he and Ah Yin knew that Tang Wulin was only a newborn when he was sent away. They would have loved to raise him themselves, but their body was fused with the plane, so there wasn't much they could do.

The best they could do was observe Tang Wulin and that was only periodically.

They saw the things that the couple in front of them did, they saw the effort and support they put into their grandson.

Tang Hao had to admit, the couple in front had the biggest impact on Tang Wulin than anyone else.

Tang Hao didn't want to imagine what Tang Wulin would be had he been raised by someone horrible.

Fortunately, he wasn't, both couples took on the role of mother and father, splendidly!

"As we said before, you should be thanking us... It may sound selfish to you both and even to his birth mother, Xiao Wu. But I am grateful for being able to raise Tang Wulin as my son, he is my precious baby boy."

"Right, we are happy to have him as our son. While we may not be related by blood, he is no different than our child."

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were silent for a while but Tang Ziran and Lang Yue didn't regret their words at all.

Whether or not it was reasonable, didn't matter to them.

They were delighted that they got to raise Wulin, even if that meant a tragedy had to happen for it to play out like that.

"No it's fine, I can't criticize you both for feeling that way. Just from the way you guys act, shows how much of a loving mother and father you both are."

Ah Yin sighed, as she could understand Lang Yue very much. Even to this day, she never once regrets giving birth to Tang San even though it leads to her death.

If she was sent back in time again, she would still give birth to him. No matter the cost, which is why her only regret was not being able to raise him alongside Tang Hao.

But at the very least, everything worked out in the end.

'Still Xiao Wu... Just why is our family cursed with having to separate?'

"Still, I want him to get to know his birth-mother and also want to meet her. So I can thank her for giving birth to Wulin."

"Well, I am sure she would like to meet you as well, and thank you for raising him well."

Both Ah Yin and Lang Yue began to laugh while Tang Hao and Tang Ziran just nodded at each other.

"Now then for the second thing... Could you guys tell us about his life, anything you can remember?"

"Of course!"

Tang Ziran sighed when he saw his wife's eyes lit up as she got up before rushing upstairs to the confusion of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

"Give her a second, she's going to grab the scrapbook. For now, I will just start it off."

Tang Hao and Ah Yin nodded before they began to pay attention to Tang Ziran who started telling them.

All about Tang Wulin childhood.
