Yali paused here for a moment as a hint of a smile appeared on her face. "As someone's who's been through all of this already, I can tell you that after a girl gives a man her first time, her attitude toward him will definitely change. At the very least, she'll remember the man for the rest of her life, and she could even begin to regard him as more important than her own life. Physical relations are integral to taking a relationship to the next level. In summary, you're a lucky, lucky man."
Tang Wulin stared at Yali in a flabbergasted manner; only at the end did he realize that she was kidding around, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. "Is that really appropriate, Mother? I'm really feeling quite depressed here!"
Yali chuckled, "What's there to be depressed about? A princess tried to give herself to you, only to be thrown under her own bed, and you finally had physical relations with the woman of your dreams. On top of that, the experience allowed you to make a breakthrough to the Titled Douluo level. Do you think she's going to run away? You're going to be the only man she'll ever love. A pair of lovers don't always have to be together; what's yours will always be yours."
Tang Wulin suddenly felt like he shouldn't have revealed everything to Yali. It felt like she was looking at him with different eyes, as if she were appraising some kind of playboy.
Yali's smile grew even more pronounced. "All I want to know is what you plan to do with that princess. You saw everything, and you were in the same bed; nothing happened between the two of you, but surely you can't just abandon a princess like that."
Tang Wulin was at a complete loss for what to do. "Then... what should I do?"
Yali replied, "The Star Luo Empire is quite friendly toward the Tang Sect, so why not just marry her? With your status, it's perfectly normal to have multiple spouses; you'll be able to have more children then."
Tang Wulin felt as if something had gotten stuck in his throat, and only after a long while did he manage to say something. "Is it the universal wish of all mothers to see their son marry multiple wives and have lots of children?"
Yali immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Of course! I finally have a son; in the future, I want lots and lots of grandkids. The best thing about becoming a Limit Douluo is that I now have enough time to help you look after your kids."
Tang Wulin's lips twitched upon hearing this. "I regret telling you everything now, Mother."
Yali rolled her eyes at him. "It's too late. Do you need me to go to the imperial palace and ask for the princess's hand in marriage in your stead?"
Tang Wulin was given a massive fright by this proposal. "Please don't! Please stop making jokes at my expense, Mother; I just want to leave the Star Luo Empire as soon as possible!"
Yali looked at the distressed look on his face, and she suddenly felt like having a son was the best thing ever!
"You're not going to take responsibility for her?" Yali asked with a smile.
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "Take responsibility? The imperial family should be taking responsibility for me! "
Yali chuckled, "In that case, we really do have to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, things could get very awkward if the imperial family comes knocking on our door."
In the end, Tang Wulin chose to run away. Even though Yali's jibes had made him rather depressed, her analysis from a bystander perspective had instilled him with a lot of confidence.
In particular, her declaration that he would be the only man Gu Yuena would ever love was exactly what he needed to hear.
Originally, he had planned to stay for another day or two and had even set up a few sparring matches, but with the current situation, it was best for him to leave right away. Dai Yun'er had already drugged him; who knew if the empire would try to keep him by force? Thus, he had to throw the planned sparring matches out the window and immediately contacted the Smiling Douluo, informing Hu Jie that he and his friends were going to set off for the Douluo Continent on that same day.
The Smiling Douluo was rather surprised to hear this, but he immediately arranged a Tang Sect vehicle for Tang Wulin and his friends so they could leave Heaven Dou City right away.
In the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire.
"What?!" Dai Tianling was staring at his daughter with an expression that could only be described as spectacular.
He was initially full of sympathy toward Dai Yun'er at the sight of the dark rings around her eyes, but after being informed that she had failed and someone else had slept with Tang Wulin the night before, he was absolutely furious!
This was the imperial palace, yet someone had snuck in and out of Dai Yun'er's boudoir without anyone being alerted! He had even sent his most trusted subordinate to eavesdrop outside Dai Yun'er's boudoir for the entire night; this was an absolute travesty!
He was so enraged that he almost fainted and stumbled back onto his chair. Dai Yun'er immediately rushed forward in an alarmed manner and stroked his chest to help him breathe more freely.
"How did this happen? This is the most disgraceful thing to have ever happened to our imperial family!" Dai Tianling roared!
It was already extremely embarrassing that his daughter had tried to force herself onto someone like this, and to compound the matter even further, she had failed!
A hint of lingering fear appeared in Dai Yun'er's eyes as she said, "To be honest, I'm a little glad about how things turned out. Tang Wulin... I swear he's not human! They didn't stop even for a single second the night before! My bed almost collapsed on top of me! If I had been in her place..."
Dai Tianling shuddered upon hearing this, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. As wise and cunning as he was when it came to political matters, he had no idea what to do in this situation.
He couldn't pin the blame on Tang Wulin as his daughter was the one who had instigated all of this. According to their original plan, they were going to catch him red-handed in Dai Yun'er's boudoir, then force him to marry her, but what were they supposed to do now?
"Father, I, I don't know what to do, either." Tears began to well up in Dai Yun'er's eyes.
"Your Majesty, according to our scouts, the Tang Sect Master has just left Heaven Dou City," a servant suddenly reported.
"He left?"
Dai Tianling faltered slightly upon hearing this before heaving a long sigh as his expression eased slightly. He had been concerned that Tang Wulin would come to the imperial palace and accuse Dai Yun'er of drugging him. If that were to happen, the situation would become even more troublesome to deal with. Now that Tang Wulin had fled the city, everything could come to an end. It wasn't ideal, but it certainly wasn't the worst-case scenario, either.
"Yun'er, how about I pick a husband for you?" Dai Tianling sighed, and in that instant, he seemed to have aged significantly.
Dai Yun'er immediately shook her head vigorously in response. "I'm not marrying anyone, Father! I'm just going to remain by your side; it's all my fault for making you worry like this."
......
Only after the Tang Sect vehicle had left Heaven Dou City and driven onto the highway did Tang Wulin finally heave a sigh of relief. He felt like he had dodged a bullet!
The Smiling Douluo was traveling with him in the same vehicle. Following that incident with the Infernal King Douluo, he insisted on accompanying Tang Wulin all the way to the submarine as a safety precaution. He wasn't as powerful as the Holy Spirit Douluo, so he still hadn't discovered that Tang Wulin had already become a Titled Douluo.
"There seems to be something on your mind, Sect Master. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Hu Jie asked.
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "I'm just concerned about the current situation in the federation. The Holy Spirit Cult is more powerful than we imagined, and the foundation of our Tang Sect is all based in the federation, so it would be best for me to return as soon as possible."
Hu Jie nodded as a grim look appeared on his face. "Indeed, who would've thought that the Infernal King Douluo was still alive? He's most likely the sovereign of the Holy Spirit Cult, and there is perhaps no one in this world who can currently defeat him in a one-on-one battle. Now that the Atlas Douluo is no longer around, it's very likely that he's the most powerful being in the world."
Having developed a better understanding of the hierarchy among Limit Douluos, Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, and said, "The Infernal King Douluo's powers have truly begun to exceed the realm of what's humanly possible. After I get back, I'll discuss with the Amorous Douluo about what we should do in the future. If the Spirit Pagoda really is colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult on a deep level, then a disaster for the entire planet is imminent."
Hu Jie said, "At the very least, their top-level power outstrips ours. One quasigod is the equivalent of three demigods; even with the Holy Spirit Douluo, at least two more Limit Douluos will be required to oppose this Infernal King Douluo, and that isn't even taking the other powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult into account."
As for the Spirit Pagoda, they've never been forced to reveal any of their trump cards, so no one knows exactly how powerful they are."
......
The rest of the journey was very smooth, and they didn't encounter any obstacles. Tang Wulin and his friends finally arrived at the shore, and at this point, the submarine was already waiting for them in the ocean.
Long Yuxue contacted the submarine, and it quickly rose to the surface to welcome them.
"I'll have to trouble you to oversee everything here in the Star Luo Empire, Hall Master Hu," Tang Wulin said.
Hu Jie smiled, and replied, "Don't be too concerned about the Holy Spirit Cult, Sect Master. I see an enormous amount of potential in you and your friends, so you have to prioritize your own safety at all times; you are the future hope of our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy."
