Chapter 635: The Goddess Shifts Affection, the Ancestor of the Hao Tian Clan Wants to Cry!_1
He sensed the strangeness in the atmosphere.
Especially after seeing Bossi's unusual gaze.
Tang Chen quieted down a bit.
"It wasn't you who deliberately took the Sea God's Trident and ran all the way to Slaughter City to save me?"
"Uh..."
Although Bossi did not want to burst Tang Chen's bubble,
she still told the truth.
"I had absolutely no idea you were in Slaughter City beforehand."
Tang Chen nodded to show he understood.
"So you saved me by a complete fluke?"
"Good heavens."
Bossi pressed her hand against her forehead, feeling somewhat dizzy.
"The person who saved you wasn't me, but someone else."
"Who?"
Tang Chen shifted his gaze and naturally noticed Bi Bidong and her disciple.
He didn't recognize Bi Bidong,
but he sensed her formidable strength.
He promptly clasped his fists and bowed.
"Thank you for the rescue. May I inquire who you are...?"
Bi Bidong merely watched him in silence, offering no response.
Even though he was Hao Tian Douluo, once a legendary ancestor of the Hao Tian Clan, Bi Bidong did not pay him the slightest attention.
This was the haughty indifference unique to the Female Pope.
She would not utter an extra word to those she didn't like.
Indeed, except when facing Luo Yu, the image she maintained before others was that of an inaccessible, majestic ice queen.
"This..."
The air fell quiet, and Tang Chen stood with his fists held together, extremely embarrassed.
He now wanted to know
just what on earth had happened to the world today.
In the past, others would bow and pay homage to him, and he wouldn't necessarily bother with them.
Now, humbling himself before others, he was met with indifference?
He really wanted to shout at Luo Yu and Bi Bidong, asking if either of them knew the significance and weight of the name Tang Chen.
"The person who saved you is Brother Yu; it has nothing to do with us," Bossi intervened from the side, easing Tang Chen's awkwardness.
"Brother Yu?"
Tang Chen's eyes hesitated. "No way, you call this young guy 'brother'?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Bossi asked.
It was more than a problem — it was a huge problem!
Tang Chen became completely alert.
In his mind, Bossi was like an elusive ice lotus of the snowy mountains, a goddess who was cold to everyone.
How could she possibly refer to any other man as 'brother'?
What exactly was going on?
Just where was the problem?
Tang Chen was in a complete fog, feeling like the world he woke up to was entirely different from the one he remembered.
Just who was this young man?
At this moment, Luo Yu said, "Alright, Cici, ask him something useful, there's no need to discuss anything else."
"Okay."
Bossi nodded obediently.
Tang Chen was flabbergasted again.
He doubted whether he had heard correctly.
Cici?
Why such an intimate nickname?
Damn, I've chased her for so many years and never dared to call her that.
And Bossi, she had utterly shed her previous arrogance, responding so obediently... What's going on?
"You... you..." Tang Chen looked at Bossi, filled with questions.
Bossi said, "Let's not talk about other things for now. Tell us why you appeared in Slaughter City and ended up like this."
Bi Bidong and Hulena perked up their spirits.
They were wide awake at the mention of this.
Tang Chen sighed.
"What else could it be?"
"Didn't you say back then that only a person with the qualifications to become a deity could deserve to be with you?"
"So I desperately searched for divine relics, hoping to receive the inheritance of a deity."
"I actually found one in Slaughter City."
"And I successfully gained the favor of the Lord Shura God, who kept testing me."
"But during the eighth trial set by the Shura God, I was tricked by a trap left by the Rakshasa God, lost my sanity, allowing a three-headed bat to take the opportunity to possess and attack me in a sneak."
"After that, I only remember turning into a monstrosity, neither human nor ghost, and as time went on, my consciousness grew increasingly blurred."
As he spoke of the past, Tang Chen clenched his teeth so hard that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth without him noticing.
His body trembled, fists clenched tight.
The eyes of Bossi's three daughters were full of sympathy and regret.
They were all very aware of the difficulty of obtaining the inheritance of deities, and Tang Chen must have suffered inconceivably in his search for the inheritance.
Only to be deceived by the deity.
Not just him, anyone else would have been a hundred percent likely to fall for it.
"Hmm?"
Tang Chen seemed to remember something and began to search his body.
He projected his mental power to search the surroundings.
"What are you looking for?" Bossi asked.
"My Shura Divine Sword, it's the core of inheriting the Asura God's legacy!" Tang Chen became very anxious.
"Uh..."
The three daughters of Bossi remained silent upon hearing this.
They all remembered Luo Yu putting away a longsword divine artifact.
But they didn't say anything.
They still knew how to differentiate between their own people and outsiders.
"Have you seen my Shura Divine Sword?" Tang Chen asked. "It's a red longsword filled with a murderous aura."
Bossi pursed her lips and shook her head.
Bi Bidong and Hulena also shook their heads following suit.
Tang Chen continued to search the ground frantically.
At this moment, Luo Yu walked over and patted his shoulder.
He earnestly said:
"Old Tang, be thankful that you've picked up your life again, why still worry about the divine artifact."
Tang Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot.
"That's a super divine weapon!"
"Do you know what a super divine weapon is?"
Luo Yu shook his head with a smile.
"I might not know what a super divine weapon is."
"But I do know you've lived quite comfortably all these years because of it."
Tang Chen's pupils suddenly tensed.
He stared at Luo Yu fiercely.
"Are you mocking me?"
"You are mocking me!!!!"
"Boom!"
Tang Chen's aura exploded. Though weak, the burst of his presence still hinted at his former glory.
The nine spectacular Soul Rings suddenly rose up.
The smile gradually vanished from Luo Yu's face.
"Tang Chen, what are you doing?"
"Brother Yu is your life-saver, would you dare to strike him?"
Bossi ran over, standing in front of Luo Yu to block him, scolding Tang Chen.
"Are you sure it was he who saved me?" Tang Chen was obviously skeptical.
"Otherwise, who?" Bossi's beautiful eyes narrowed.
Tang Chen shook his head, "Impossible. Who else but you can use the Sea God's Trident?"
"Hmph."
Bossi said, "Brother Yu has already accepted the Sea God inheritance; the Sea God's Trident has long recognized its master."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen was immediately dumbfounded.
"???"
I, after enduring countless hardships, finally found the Asura God inheritance, only to be half-deadly tricked in the end.
This young kid has already settled the Sea God inheritance?
It's fake; it has to be fake.
At this point, Luo Yu sneered and reached out with a summoning gesture.
"Whoosh!"
The Golden Sea God's Trident buzzed and trembled as it broke free from the rock layer, flying back into Luo Yu's hand.
On the trident's blade hung the three-headed bat that had brought endless pain to Tang Chen.
"Hiss—"
Tang Chen took a deep breath, feeling as if his understanding had been renewed.
"You've seen it, now hurry up and apologize to Brother Yu," Bossi urged.
On one hand, she was protecting their Luo Yu, and on the other, she genuinely feared that Tang Chen might provoke Luo Yu, who would then just outright annihilate him.
Bossi was well aware of Luo Yu's temperament.
He was unambiguous when it came to being domineering.
"Bossi, after all these years of our friendship, how can you side with a youngster?" Tang Chen moved closer.
Bossi's beautiful eyes glared.
"Don't come any closer."
"First, Bossi is not for you to call."
"Second, please maintain your distance from me; otherwise, I'm afraid Brother Yu might misunderstand!"
Tang Chen was struck as if by lightning.
His voice trembled.
"You... what did you say?"
