"Alright, stop sulking." Said Da Ming after sighing over his lack of descendants before smacking Er Ming in the head.
"Elder Brother?"
"While it's true you don't have your lover, you still have your descendants at the very least." Said Da Ming causing Er Ming's eyes to widen.
"Hehe, that's true. I indeed have descendants. Hahaha!" Er Ming laughed out loud while dancing causing the area around to shake.
Tang Wulin and Ya Li had a blank look on their face as they saw the famous Titan Great Ape jolly dancing.
"Wulin! Where is she? Where is that little girl...You must take me there." Er Ming was anxious to meet his living descendants, wondering just how she was.
"Ugh, even after all these years, you're still so shameless." Mutter Da Ming before shoeing Er Ming.
"You can't see her now, as she and my other friends are undergoing the Sea God Trial." Said Tang Wulin.
"The Sea God Trial! They're actually doing such a thing?" Questioned Er Ming in disbelief while Tang Wulin nodded his head.
"Since you are the master of the trident and with the absence of the Sea God. I guess you have extensive authority over the trials now." Said, Da Ming.
"B-But, my descendant...When will I be able to see her again..."Mutter Er Ming with a painful look causing Da Ming to roll his eyes.
"Idiot, the fact that she can undergo such a sacred trial is a divine miracle for your descendant. This means her strength would be increasing explosively as she completes each of the trials."Said, Da Ming.
"Oh right, hahaha. Wulin, tell me, how strong is she?" Questioned Er Ming, eager to understand her strength.
"Last time I check, it was-"
"Never mind that, how is she? Is she a looker like your sister?" Questioned Er Ming causing Tang Wulin to give an expressionless look.
"I don't know what Wutong looks like."
"Huh? Tang San didn't show you an image of her? Doesn't sound like that overprotective father." Mutter Er Ming.
"Quite you, it's obvious San didn't have enough time. Anyway, here Wulin."Said Da Ming as he pointed his finger, conjuring a stream of light shadow.
It was a beautiful woman with long blue hair with pink highlights that reached down to her waist. She had a striking pair of big eyes that were both gentle and heroic with long legs and a charming smile.
From the memory of seeing Xiao Wu in the Sea God Trial, Tang Wulin could say Wutong resembles her a lot.
Tang Wutong, his sister and the one that came down to the Douluo plane ten thousand years ago.
Tang Wulin would be lying if he said he didn't feel anything from seeing but it was only a bit.
'Because your mother and sister have this unusual ability to worm themselves into one's heart.'
He recalled the words of his father and then remembered his time with Xiao Wu. Even though it was only for a few minutes, he found himself caring for her.
In those few minutes, he could feel her unspeakable sadness, despair, care but above all else, love for him.
Seeing the image of his sister, he felt a slight warmth feeling of warmth.
And an unconscious feeling of wanting to meet her, something that genuinely surprised him.
"...Thanks."Said Tang Wulin after a bit.
Er Ming and Da Ming both saw emotions flash through Tang Wulin's eyes but they weren't able to discern them.
As they flashed by way too fast for them too but they felt, something about Tang Wulin slightly changed.
"You little heaven-defying monster, you must believe in your father. He is the true proud son of heavens beyond his time whether it be talent or his intelligence. He has managed to withstand many violent storms and waves, always coming out on top. Just like how you're missing him, they've always been missing you too. So, they will be back for sure! A target as bright and clear as the Douluo Continent will be much easier for them to look for than you go searching for them."Said Er Ming with a laugh.
"Hmm, you may be right. Or if I get strong enough, I can simply drag them back here."Mutter Tang Wulin.
Da Ming lips twitched as he heard Tang Wulin words, wondering just what this little monster plans to do.
"Alright, if that is everything. It's about time we go."Said Tang Wulin as he got up from the tree with Ya Li nodding her head.
"Oh right, I need one of you to follow me. It has to do with the Soul-Beast."Said Tang Wulin causing Er Ming and Da Ming to be confused.
"How so?"
"The future of your race as well as the path that will help or break them." Said Tang Wulin.
Er Ming and Da Ming glance at each before nodding their head. While they didn't understand what Tang Wulin meant, they at least knew he wouldn't put the soul beast in considerable danger.
From him being trusted by her and him being the son of Tang San and Xiao Wu as well as their nephew.
"I will go, big brother. I want to check out my clan if I can."Said Er Ming causing Da Ming to roll his eyes.
"Just hurry and go."
All three of them were enveloped in lights before they began to vanish in thin air.
"Hmm. If she told him everything, it would mean she trusted him as well as found out about his heritage. I wonder... Does she believe he can save our race?"
Da Ming muttered out loud while he pondered about the things he learned as well as Tang Wulin's existence.

'Curse that brat and all the troubles he brings me.' Thought Mu Ye as he refrains from holding his head in his hand.
At the moment he was inside the Main Pavilion of the Tenrou Island with the elders of the city.
Alongside the representatives of the Soul Beasts, they were all discussing the terms to gain each other cooperation.
"You wish for some of us to become elders of your school?" Questioned Bi Ji as she stared at Mu Ye.
"Yes, with you as a part of our teaching staff. Mingling with the student, instructing them, and getting to know them. This will help build trust between you guys and the people of this Island."Said Wang Tong who was sitting next to Mu Ye.
"...Will you be giving the same benefit as well right as your teaching staff?"Questioned Bi Ju after a bit.
"You will be treated the same way as all our teaching staff. Once a part of the teaching staff, there is no humanity or soul but simply teachers helping the next generation."Said Wang Tong, causing Bi Ji eyes to slightly widen as she nodded her head.
"Next generation of killers..."Muttered Bear Lord causing Zi Ji to smack him upside his head.
"We don't need your quips right now." Said Zi Ji as she glared fiercely at the Bear Lord who only glared back at her.
"We understand it's hard to believe we are willing to treat you all the same. But if you all wish to improve and create a good relationship with the people on this Island. You must at least try and work with us."Said Yang Rui, one of the teaching staff of the Tenrou Academy.
"So you're asking us to trust you?" Questioned Bear Lord.
"At the very least, yes." Said Wang Tong causing Bear Lord to scoff.
"You humans tend to not keep your words." Said Bear Lord.
"We are trying to correct and keep our word this time." Said Yang Rui with a sigh.
"Ha! That would-"
"Bear Lord, not another word." Said Bi Ji as she glanced at him, her face devoid of kindness.
Bear Lord fell silent as he saw the look on Bi Ji face, one he hasn't seen in a thousand years.
That was the look she usually gains when she was angry and pissed off at someone.
"And the other thing you wish for us, is to be active in your community?" Questioned Bi Ji.
"Yes, all we need is for you to work with the townspeople inside of the city. From helping them with some of the construction work to even helping out in the shops. What we want, is to show the people that you guys are not the ferocious and terrifying fiend that you are made out to be."Said Wang Tong.
"But beings just like them that wish to be treated more than monsters." Said Wang Tong causing Bi Ji to furrow her brow.
"Why are you so confident the people will allow us to help them out?" Questioned the Myriad Demon King with a shake of his head.
"Even from here, I can sense the hostility they have for us. Which is why I wondered why you all have us come here in our soul beast form."Said the Myriad Demon King.
All of the representatives for the soul beast, which were only the four came here in their beast form.
This made it so all of the people in the city and the academy saw their form. The reactions all varied but the Myriad Demon King could feel their underlying hostility towards them.
It wasn't a direct hatred but more of dislike and disdain towards them. As if the humans didn't wish for them to be here or anywhere close to the city.
"Trust me, we would have preferred you all come in human forms to help sort this out. But..."
"Our dear principal didn't feel it was necessary and wanted the people to know about your existence from the get-go." Said Yang Rui as his lips twitched.
"So you guys can't ignore his order huh?" Questioned Bear Lord with a chuckle before he flinched and glanced at Bi Ji.
But to his surprise, she seemed to be lost in thought as she didn't seem to react to him speaking up.
To tell the truth, Bi Ji was thinking over the words of Di Tian and what he wanted her to do.
'I am going to go help our lord recover her full power, while I am gone, I can only trust you to do the negotiations. Bi Ji, you are the only one besides lord or me who has a real vision of what is best for the soul beast.
'I will be leaving the decisions up to you and will agree with whatever you choose. I know you will decide based on what is best for the continuation of our race.'
'What is the best choice that will allow us to continue existing...' Thought Bi Ji as she thought it over and over.
"Can I ask you guys something?"
"Of course."
"Why are you all willing to go so far? Is it because you guys also want our two races to come together? Or are you all doing this for Tang Wulin?"Questioned Bi Ji.
Everyone in the room blinks their eyes but not out of surprise as they expected such a question.
But the fact she asked if they were doing this for Wulin.
"Psst! As if I would do anything for that brat."Said Mu Ye with a scoff before staring deep at Bi Ji.
"I am simply doing what I think is beneficial for our sect and academy." Said Mu Ye causing Wang Tong to let out a chuckle.
"Sir, it's not good to be dishonest."
"Quite you."
Bi Ji stared at the bantering of Wang Tong and Mu Ye for a bit before sighing as she let out a faint smile.
"Alright, we will do it."
