Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Uh..." Tang San scratched his head, "I was young back then, and your grappling skills were amazing. So what if I got thrown? Being hit is affection, being scolded is love. Xiaowu, do you know? The happiest time in my life was from age six until before we finished participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Because, during those years, we were always together, living carefree lives. Every day I can cultivate with you, seeing your smile is my greatest satisfaction."

Xiaowu nodded gently, "Me too."

...

"Brother, how can you, how can you just leave me like this? Brother, you can't die, you can't!" Xiaowu cried out hoarsely. But now, Tang San could no longer give her any response.

"Brother, you promised, you promised to marry me, and said you would give me the grandest wedding. You haven't fulfilled your promise. How can you die? Please, wake up, okay? Just wake up, no matter the cost, as long as you wake up, I'm willing."

...

From beginning to end, Tang San didn't say a word to Xiaowu, he simply helped her redo her braids.

When he finally finished everything, he then gently turned Xiaowu's body to face him, looking into her tear-filled eyes. Tang San touched his forehead to hers and whispered, "My dear, I love you."

Xiaowu's body trembled, she suddenly hugged Tang San's waist tightly, pressing her face firmly against his chest, "If you really love me, let me stay with you forever. The result won't change, let me watch over you."

...

"Already a mom, yet still so naughty."

"What's wrong with being a mom? Can't I still be spoiled? Even after you became the Law enforcer of the divine world and Sea God, aren't you still called Tang San? You're still my Brother San."

...

Xiaowu giggled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "That's more like it. Quick, think about what we should name our baby. The Life Goddess told me this second child of ours will be a boy."

The Sea God had already calmed down, "Our precious daughter's name is Tang Wutong, taking one character from each of our names — my Tang, your Wu, plus the 'Tong' from Phoenix Tree Wood, Tang Wutong, meaning Little Phoenix of Tang San and Xiaowu. So our precious son should follow this pattern, I think, let's call him Tang Wulin. How about it?"

Xiaowu's eyes lit up, "Tang San and Xiaowu's Little Kirin? Sounds great! Let's do it." Then she frowned slightly, "But the characters are a bit complex, you'll be in charge of teaching him to read and write."

Sea God Tang San smiled, "No problem, leave it to me."

...

"Brother San, don't worry, I will stay by your side. I will definitely get better." Xiaowu rubbed against his leg, smiling charmingly.

She's always like this, not wanting him to worry.

Tang San lowered his head dotingly and kissed her forehead, "I will definitely heal you. Xiaowu, don't be anxious. After this god war, once we gain control, we can leave the black hole. Then we'll go find our son. Once we find him, everything will be fine. Trust me."

Xiaowu nodded, "Yes, yes. We will definitely find our son and reunite as a family."

Tang San smiled, "Xiaowu, do you know? In this world, there's a power that even gods cannot explain, and it's the most powerful force in this world. This energy will surely heal your illness."

Xiaowu looked at him surprised, "What is it?"

Tang San replied, "It's love. The power of love. Although our son is temporarily away from us, I've arranged everything on Soul Land for him. But by your side, there's me, there's Wutong. We all love you so much, for us, you must be okay. You know me, if you leave, I'll go with you, I mean what I say. No matter where you are, I will be with you."

...

"Kids, I'm sorry! I have to leave the remaining time for your grandfather. Although you are all my descendants, my deepest love is still for him." As she finished, a faint blush appeared on Xiaowu's delicate face, showing a touch of shyness.

"Xiaowu." Tang San gently called.

Xiaowu turned slightly, nestling fully into Tang San's arms. She raised her arms to encircle his neck, pressing her cheek against his.

Tang San instinctively tightened his embrace, as if to memorize every aspect of her.

"Actually, I know, I know everything." Xiaowu said softly. "You intentionally came back a bit late, didn't you?"

Tang San didn't speak, but tears kept streaming down.

Xiaowu said, "I'm sorry Brother San. I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, if it were me, I'd choose the same. Xiaowu, I love you." Tang San's voice finally carried a tremble, unable to control his emotions any longer.

Xiaowu smiled, "Don't cry! Today is our family reunion, a day of joy. Don't cry! You already don't look as good as me, and you're even uglier when you cry. Hehe."

Tang San took a deep breath, barely controlling his emotions, "Alright, alright, I won't cry, I won't cry."
