Chapter 225 The Great Adventure Begins, Tang San Panics.
The pink mist inside the Valley of Love and Destiny did not dissipate; instead, it grew thicker with the cold laughter of the God of Love.
The people in the underworld stared at the sky, their anger, born from the forced dismantling of their personalities, accumulating to the point of exploding.
And at this moment.
The dark world, the realm of gods.
The God of Destruction stood atop the Temple of Destruction, looking at the miserable state of Wu Feng and Ning Tian in the sky, a gloating smile curving his lips.
He twirled the scepter of destruction in his hand, purple lightning flickering at its tip.
"This kind of charade of toying with mortals is indeed in line with the style of that minor god, the God of Love," the God of Destruction sneered, his voice echoing in the empty temple.
"Tang San, you keep saying this is to find a successor, but now the whole Black World is watching this farce. The more you let Cupid cause trouble in front of you, the easier it will be for you to slip up in the future."
"I'd like to see where you, as a law enforcement officer, will put your face when the truth is completely revealed."
Inside the Temple of Poseidon, however, the atmosphere was extremely eerie.
Xiao Wu could no longer sit still. Looking at Wu Feng, who had been slapped in the image, she was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She couldn't help but point at the sky and curse, "What's wrong with this Cupid? This isn't a test of affection, it's clearly psychological torture! Third Brother, how do you usually discipline your subordinates? This kind of behavior is a disgrace to the divine realm!"
Tang San sat on the divine throne, his body slightly stiff. He listened to Xiao Wu's scolding, feeling extremely embarrassed.
He knew perfectly well that every step Cupid took was essentially executing the domestication logic he had initially set out to follow. Every time Xiaowu cursed Cupid, it was like slapping him in the face.
"Third Brother, say something! Do you think Cupid did the right thing?" Xiao Wu turned her head and stared at Tang San, seeking his opinion.
Tang San took a deep breath, trying his best to make his expression appear natural and objective.
He avoided Xiao Wu's sharp gaze, coughed lightly, and replied, "Xiao Wu, you're right. I didn't expect Cupid to be so extreme when conducting the test. What he did was indeed extremely disgraceful, even somewhat twisted. Once this is over, I will definitely deal with him seriously."
While reluctantly comforting Xiao Wu, Tang San prayed in his heart that he could be a little more restrained in the future.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
The so-called "truth or dare" test continued. Cupid hadn't stopped his perverse pleasure; he relentlessly threw out questions that touched the darkest corners of the soul, driving the Soul Masters present to the brink of collapse. He seemed to relish watching these mortals agonize over life-or-death choices.
However, in this round of questioning, Cupid didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill; he merely used various forms of verbal humiliation and psychological manipulation to disgust these Soul Masters. Soon, the first round of truth-telling ended, and the crystal ball's light changed from pink to deep purple.
"Truth or dare is over. Now, let's begin the second challenge: Truth or Dare."
[Cupid's voice carried a sinister excitement, "There is no fairness here, only choice. First match: Jiang Nannan versus Wu Feng and Ning Tian."]
[In the scene, Jiang Nannan appeared in the center of the stone platform. Her eyes were cold, and she spoke no unnecessary words. At this moment, Wu Feng, having just been beaten, was not only physically weak but also on the verge of mental collapse. Jiang Nannan, relying on her powerful teleportation skills and close-combat suppression, won the victory almost effortlessly.]
"Jiang Nannan has passed. Wu Feng and Ning Tian, as punishment for the losers, you will enter the 'Deep Adventure' zone."
As Cupid spoke, the stone slab beneath Wu Feng and Ning Tian's feet suddenly vanished, and their bodies instantly plunged into a bottomless black vortex.
[The beam then locked onto Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.]
Within the circle of light opposite them, a phantom energy entity appeared; it was their impending opponent.
"Zhu Lu, you will face Dai Huabin," Cupid coldly announced. "The winner lives, the loser dies, or enters a deep adventure."
[Dai Huabin looked at Zhu Lu opposite him. This usually arrogant, even somewhat ruthless, son of the White Tiger Duke, was showing an unusual sense of responsibility at this moment. He didn't summon his martial spirit, but instead dispersed all his soul power and calmly spoke to the void.]
"I surrender. I'll take the punishment myself; send me on a deep adventure."
Zhu Lu rushed to the edge of the light circle, clutching the transparent barrier tightly, crying out, "No! I want to go with you! Whatever the deep adventure may be, I'll be with you!"
Cupid let out a strange laugh: "A very interesting relationship. Since you insist, then so be it. Deep adventure, begin."
The two embraced tightly, and together they plunged into the depths of the all-consuming mist.
Upon seeing this, the Soul Masters of the Underworld began to discuss among themselves.
"This Cupid is a complete pervert; he seems to particularly enjoy watching people experience life-and-death separations."
"Although Dai Huabin isn't very good at other things, he's truly devoted to Zhu Lu. Bai Xuanzi is right; these people in the underworld, though bad, sometimes have their emotions manipulated, which is really unpleasant to watch."
Inside the Sea God Temple, Tang San remained relatively calm while watching the drama unfold among the "supporting characters." However, when the camera panned back and the beam of light finally locked onto the three people, he suddenly stood up and gripped the armrests of the throne tightly with both hands.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
At the very center of the stone platform, three beams of light simultaneously illuminated.
[Huo Yuhao's eyes were sinister. To his left was Wang Dong'er, her face full of worry, while in the circle of light opposite them stood Wang Qiu'er, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, her expression complex.]
"It's finally your turn." Cupid's voice became extremely low at this moment, even carrying a subtle tremor, a tremor that came with the plan reaching its climax.
"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er. Your opponent is Wang Qiu'er."
"The rules of this great adventure are simple. Only one of you can win. As for who wins and who loses, that's up to you to decide, or to prove it through battle."
Tang San stared at this scene, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
He knew Wang Qiu'er's identity better than anyone—it was the product of a part of his divine consciousness combined with the power of destiny.
Wang Dong'er is his biological daughter, Tang Wutong.
Making these two "daughters" engage in such a life-or-death struggle for Huo Yuhao was his ultimate move to completely break Huo Yuhao emotionally and make him absolutely dependent on him.
"Don't do anything reckless... Future me, you absolutely must hold back Cupid and prevent him from showing any divine power fluctuations related to me at this time!" Tang San shouted frantically in his heart.
He knew that the real taming had officially begun at this moment.
All the viewers in the dark world held their breath at this moment, waiting to see what chilling or shocking choices Huo Yuhao would make when faced with these two "most important women in his life".
