Chapter 191: Unleash the Dogs!
Seeing Wang Dong'er's empty bed, Huo Yuhao felt a profound sense of loss and regret. "After all, the academy rules dictate that boys and girls must be in separate dorms. It must have been tough for Dong'er, but this won't affect our relationship!" Yes, he naturally started referring to Wang Dong as 'Dong'er.'
With renewed spirit, Huo Yuhao packed his things and rushed to class without even eating breakfast. Then...
He discovered that Wang Dong'er had already changed seats, now sitting alone at the back by the window.
"This…" Huo Yuhao was visibly shocked.
Wang Dong'er glanced towards the window, avoiding Huo Yuhao's gaze as he appeared at the classroom door, her feelings of aversion intensifying. Yet, the memories of their three years together tormented her, leaving her unsure of how to face or explain her changes to Huo Yuhao. Or perhaps... she no longer wanted to explain.
The divine insight of a God King, so expansive! Wang Dong'er would probably never understand that her aversion to Huo Yuhao was caused by the divine thought of Tang San meddling in her mind.
Seeing that Wang Dong'er was ignoring him, Huo Yuhao returned to his seat, feeling dejected, but the Wang Dong he knew was no longer beside him. Instead, the rest of the class occasionally cast curious glances towards Wang Dong'er, mesmerized by her beauty.
The many male students who looked at her did so with adoration and desire. In the past, those who admired Wang Dong were mostly female, as the disguised Wang Dong was not only powerful but also exceptionally handsome. Now, the situation had reversed, with male students now the ones admiring her.
The class wasn't foolish; seeing the minor changes in Wang Dong'er's face and her signature powder blue eyes and long hair, they guessed she was the former Wang Dong. They just didn't know why Wang Dong had transformed into Wang Dong'er.
However, they unanimously took pleasure in Huo Yuhao's misfortune. The one most likely to win Wang Dong'er's heart, Huo Yuhao, seemed to have parted ways with her.
From that day on, the atmosphere in the class became weird. The relationship between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er grew increasingly strained, and Huo Yuhao's faint feelings for Wang Dong'er gradually dwindled to nothing. Although Huo Yuhao was much improved from his original pathetic state, he retained some of his childhood character traits and didn't mindlessly fawn over Wang Dong'er like in the later parts of the original story.
After Wang Dong'er made her disgust clear, Huo Yuhao could only smile wryly and voluntarily cut off their relationship, becoming more withdrawn and even more determined in his training. Amidst his intense emotional turmoil, there were signs of a second awakening in his spiritual eye soul...
At the same time, Tang San's divine sense secretly traveled to Douluo Continent.
In the Haotian Sect, inside the main hall, a tall man with long blue hair casually draped over his shoulders sat at the highest seat, exuding a natural authority. Beside him, a muscular man with short black hair that stood up like steel pins, wore an expressionless face.
These two, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, guards of the Life Lake from millennia ago, the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, also brothers of Tang San's wife Xiao Wu, were resurrected by Tang San. Since the Divine Realm was inconvenient for their beastly forms and Tang San needed them for tasks in Douluo Continent, they were given the status of god-ranked clerics with the strength of limit Douluo, to serve as sect masters of the Haotian Sect for Tang San.
In essence, they were just Tang San's dogs.
Suddenly, both Niu Tian and Tai Tan opened their eyes simultaneously, their imposing presence on par with Di Tian radiating from them. This was the benefit of being sacrificed to a god; even if their original powers were gone, being resurrected allowed them to easily break through to god level and gain immortality.
What roused them from their cultivation was the golden trident mark on their foreheads—a symbol of the Sea God.
[Changes have occurred with the Child of Fate in Douluo Continent. To ensure the plan proceeds without issues, locate him, control him! If he cannot be controlled, you are authorized to eliminate him!]
A commanding voice entered the minds of Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
Niu Tian's expression changed unpredictably, his brows furrowed in distress.
Tai Tan seemed dissatisfied and spoke out, "Brother, what's Tang San up to? He had Xiao Dong approach that supposed Child of Fate, and now he's saying something's changed…"
Before Tai Tan could finish, Niu Tian raised his hand to stop him, pointing at the mark on his forehead and shaking his head.
Silenced, Tai Tan could only hold back his words, but his dissatisfaction grew clearer.
What did Tang San see them as? Mere tools to be commanded at will?
If it weren't for their sacrifice to Tang San, he might not have achieved his current success. Now that he had ascended, he seemed to have discarded all decency.
One could say Tai Tan was too straightforward, failing to understand how they appeared in Tang San's eyes. Being revived was fortunate enough for them. Remember, both Da Ming and Er Ming had loved Xiao Wu for tens of thousands of years, which to Tang San meant a direct threat.
That Da Ming and Er Ming were still alive was largely thanks to Xiao Wu's continued existence. If not for considering her feelings, the brothers might have long been dead.
Living was a privilege. They were to serve as Tang San's dogs, an honor they should appreciate instead of taking for granted.
Niu Tian, obviously the more pragmatic one, fully understood that their continued existence was solely due to their usefulness to Tang San. Although he too was dissatisfied, he could only suppress it.
"We need not discuss further; what we need to ascertain now is who the next Child of Fate in Douluo Continent truly is," Niu Tian said, massaging his temples with a resigned tone.
"Do we need to figure that out? Just ask around who the most prominent young person on the continent is right now, isn't that enough to know who the Child of Fate is?" Tai Tan crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, his straightforward approach catching Niu Tian off guard—not because it was unreasonable, but because it made too much sense.
Niu Tian looked at Tai Tan in surprise, his eyes full of shock.
Wow, my brother has grown a brain! This can't be happening. Absolutely impossible! (End of Chapter 191)
