Chapter 122: If I Lose Her, What's the Point of Becoming a God!
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, you're right! I've made up my mind. Once we arrive at Douluo University, I'll confess to her! I know I'm still young, but I'll grow older—and for soul masters, age doesn't matter! I can't live without her!"
Jiang Chen rubbed his temples. What could he even say to that?
Tang Wulin tucked his phone away, his gaze burning holes through the narrow gap between the seats ahead—where Ouyang Zixin's silky hair swayed gently.
This kid… was gone.
Jiang Chen sighed audibly.
[In This Life, I Shall Suppress All] (Jiang Chen): "Na'er, Tang Wulin's fallen in love early."
[Right and Wrong No Longer Concern Me] (Na'er): "???"
Far away on Shrek Academy's Sea God Island—where she'd remained secluded for a whole year—Na'er stared blankly at the message.
Early love?
Even as the Silver Dragon King's split consciousness, that concept was far beyond her understanding. A dragon in love? Unthinkable.
Besides, what did Tang Wulin's crush have to do with her?
They still got along, and she still called him "Brother," but the warmth of their childhood bond was long gone.
Months could pass without a word between them; even when they did talk, it was just polite greetings.
After Shrek's downfall, an invisible wall had grown between them—one that neither could cross.
She had no words after her failure.
He had no words after being humiliated by Shrek's Outer Court Dean.
Their connection was fading. Give it a few more years, and it would vanish completely.
These days, she felt closer to Tang Ziran and Lang Yue's family instead. Every festival, she'd send a small package of local specialties their way.
After thinking it over, she simply forwarded the message to her "mother."
That should handle it nicely.
[Prosperous Blossom] (Lang Yue): "???"
Early love? He DARES!!!
No one could stop a lovesick fool.
Though it wasn't her problem, even Jiang Chen felt exasperated.
Tang Wulin, the hero of Douluo Continent—the destined one!
The one blemish on his legacy was his father, Tang San, whose most famous fanfiction arcs were about "righteous patricide."
And now he'd caught the love bug?
Couldn't he just focus on building his future? All this nonsense about "love" at his age—how could that possibly end well?
He had shining examples around him, yet he learned nothing!
Still, Jiang Chen decided to humor him. Maybe he could straighten the boy's mindset before it got worse.
[In This Life, I Shall Suppress All] (Jiang Chen): "Tang Wulin, you need to calm down."
But half a minute passed—no reply.
Jiang Chen glanced over.
Sure enough, the kid was still staring at the seat gap ahead, eyes fixated, barely blinking.
Jiang Chen nearly exploded.
What he hated most was being ignored—especially while he was speaking!
How dare he!
People could ignore others, but not Jiang Chen!
This was an act of cosmic rebellion!
He immediately tagged Tang Wulin again.
Only then did the boy reluctantly look down, his eyes flickering between the gap and his vibrating phone—terrified he might miss even a glimpse of her.
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, I've lost her once already. I can't lose her again. That saying is true—only by losing something do you learn to cherish it."
"This time, I won't let regret win again!"
Jiang Chen: !!!
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, I'm calm. Even you wouldn't let Sister Yun'er, Sister Xue, or that woman leave you, right?"
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched.
How could this even be compared?!
For the record, it's not that I can't live without them—it's that they can't live without me!
Useless to reason with this stubborn kid. Complete simp mode: activated.
[In This Life, I Shall Suppress All] (Jiang Chen): "Have you forgotten your original goal when you awakened your martial soul?"
Level 3 innate soul power. A Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
The laughingstock of his generation.
Hadn't his dream been to prove everyone wrong—to show the world that Blue Silver Grass wasn't weak?
Tang Wulin nodded rapidly, thumbs flying across his screen.
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "You're right, Brother Jiang Chen. I love her!"
Jiang Chen froze.
Then nearly hurled his phone at the boy's head.
Damn it!
Why did he have to sit next to such a hopeless simp?
He squirmed uncomfortably, suddenly afraid the kid's lovesick aura might be contagious.
Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
He regretted following them onto this train instead of taking a private jet.
Biggest mistake of his life.
In silent resignation, he shut his eyes.
But the phone kept buzzing.
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Even if I could become a god, what's the point if I lose her?!!!"
"Pffft—"
Jiang Chen's eyes rolled back. His head thunked against the window as he fainted from sheer exasperation.
A top-tier romantic fool…
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, why do so many girls like you? Sister Yun'er, Sister Xue, even Na'er—and that other woman too! How do you make them all get along? I want to learn!"
"Brother Jiang Chen? Say something!"
"Brother~ Master~ Big Bro~ Godfather~"
"…Dad!!"
The soul train raced along the tracks, its rumbling slowly fading as the carriage quieted.
Outside, the scenery blurred. Inside, passengers dozed off one by one.
Even Mu Xi, Ouyang Zixin, and Xu Xiaoyan, who'd been chattering nonstop earlier, had fallen asleep.
Only one girl sat trembling, unable to close her eyes.
Sandwiched between Gu Yue and the Snow Empress, Huo Yun'er looked ready to cry.
She instantly regretted choosing this seat—was she insane?
Everyone knew those two were rivals for their "Ancestor's" affection, and now she was stuck in the middle of them.
It felt like sitting inside an ice coffin.
She didn't dare make a sound.
But deep down, she reminded herself—Ancestor is mine!
They were the outsiders!
So why was she the one cowering?
"No! I won't be afraid."
"They're underestimating me!"
"Yun'er, you can do this! Ancestor belongs to you—they're the intruders!"
Her hand brushed against the faint shimmer on her wrist. The weariness in her eyes melted into determination.
"I'll protect my beloved Ancestor. Huo Yun'er, you can do this!"
