Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Tang Wulin's eyes were as firm as a rock, without the slightest hesitation.

Lu Jun nodded and gently placed the Sea God's throne in Tang Wulin's slightly trembling but steady hands.

It feels slightly heavy in the hand, but beneath its warm and smooth texture lies immense power.

Tang Wulin held it carefully, as if he were holding the hope and responsibility of the entire world.

Lu Jun stepped aside, making room for Tang Wutong, who was standing quietly to the side.

"It's a rare reunion for you siblings, you must have a lot to say." His voice remained calm. "Make yourselves at home and have a good talk."

He glanced at Tang Wutong, his gaze calm and unwavering, yet it made her heart skip a beat.

“Remember, three days from now,” Lu Jun added, his tone leaving no room for argument, “Tang Wutong, you must come back to my side.”

He didn't say what would happen next, but that unfinished warning carried more weight than any concrete threat.

Tang Wutong nodded immediately, her voice light and quick:

"Yes, I remember. I will definitely go back in three days."

His attitude was impeccably respectful.

Lu Jun said no more, and nodded slightly to Tang Wulin as a farewell.

Immediately, an icy blue light surged around him once more, and his figure transformed into a sharp streak of light, soaring into the sky. In a few flashes, he disappeared into the horizon, speeding towards Mingdu.

The sea breeze brought a salty, damp scent, which stirred Tang Wutong's long, pinkish-blue hair and moon-white skirt.

She stared in the direction where Lu Jun had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

The Sea God's tablet in Tang Wulin's hand emitted a warm blue light, illuminating her profile.

A complex expression welled up in Tang Wutong's pinkish-blue eyes once again.

Three days.

She only has three days.

"Sis, he's gone, don't look anymore."

Tang Wulin's voice sounded beside him, carrying a hint of subtle complexity.

He saw Tang Wutong's gaze still following the long-vanished icy blue streak in the sky, lost in thought, her pink-blue eyes swirling with a turmoil that even she herself couldn't fully comprehend.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong turned her gaze away and looked at her younger brother.

She shook her head slightly, pursed her lips, and her voice was a little dry:
"You seem to have... misunderstood something."

Tang Wulin scratched his slightly messy short hair, a hint of youthful, slightly awkward honesty appearing on his handsome face:

"I... I don't know how to say it... After all, this seems to be the first time my brother and I have really met and talked."

He paused, looking intently at Tang Wutong:
"Although we were separated when we were young, had different experiences, and even... I still can't fully understand or let go of some of my father's actions."

When he spoke of his father, a deep pain and struggle flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it:
"But the bond of blood cannot be faked. You are my sister, and that will never change."

His tone became serious:

“It is precisely because you are my sister that I hope even more that you can take responsibility for the things you did in the past and truly atone for them.”

"It's not about answering anyone, but about yourself, so you can break free of those shackles and start anew."

Tang Wulin's gaze was clear and sincere.

He cherished family ties immensely; this warmth derived from blood was one of the few solaces during his tumultuous childhood and adolescence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried so hard in front of Lu Jun to give this sister, who had made a terrible mistake and almost harmed the Douluo Continent, a chance to live and reform.

For him, family members are people he must try to win back and protect no matter what.

Tang Wutong fell silent, a long silence.

The sunlight moved slowly across her delicate profile.

Tang Wulin's words were like a key that wasn't sharp but carried a lot of weight, gently tapping on a frozen area in her heart.

In a sense, this younger brother, whom she was meeting formally for the first time, did indeed save her. If he hadn't made a promise and pleaded with Lu Jun, she probably would be...

The days and nights when she was pierced by the Ice Abyss Sword and her divine power was mercilessly drained flashed through her mind. The bone-chilling cold and the painful memories of her soul being eroded caused her delicate body to tremble slightly, her fingertips to tighten, and her fists to clench.

"Sis, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Wulin immediately noticed her unusual behavior and leaned over to ask her with concern.

Tang Wutong slowly shook her head, took a deep breath, and forced herself to break free from those unpleasant memories.

She raised her eyes and looked at Tang Wulin, her gaze gradually regaining some of the clarity befitting a deity.

"I am fine."

Her voice was much calmer.

“I promised Lu Jun, and I promised you. I will use my power and knowledge to help you to truly take control of the Sea God’s position as soon as possible and complete the final inheritance.”

"Given your current state and progress, it's far from enough for you to become a qualified, or even powerful, sea god by figuring things out on your own."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and his face revealed undisguised excitement and anticipation:

"Really? Sis, that's great! With your guidance, I'm sure I can do it!"

For a boy who has grown up alone in hardship since childhood, the expectation of fighting side by side with his blood-related older sister and moving forward together is far beyond the ordinary.

"but……"

Tang Wutong added, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of sadness:

"Lu Jun only gave me three days. After three days, I must return to the place he designated and continue... cooperating with his arrangements."

"Three days is enough!"

Tang Wulin quickly replied, his tone full of optimism:
"If you can genuinely help me for these three days, and guide me to the right direction and method, I can walk the rest of the road on my own, and..."

He scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly:
“I believe that as long as you show sincerity and change, Brother Lu will eventually truly trust you. Brother Lu is actually a very loyal and reasonable person.”

Tang Wutong was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt appearing in her beautiful eyes:
"You seem to trust that Lu Jun a lot? What exactly did he do to make you speak so highly of him? Do you know how he treats me..."

She didn't say what came next, but a hint of pain flashed deep in her eyes.

"Ah, this..."

Tang Wulin seemed a little embarrassed to praise another person too much in front of his sister, especially since this person had a grudge against his sister.

He smiled sheepishly, gathered his thoughts, and then slowly said:

"The first time I officially met Brother Lu was at a competition. At that time, Brother Lu was only about ten years old, not much older than us, but he was already incredibly strong."

"Not to mention that when Brother Lu later led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, the team members were generally only Soul Venerable or Soul Master level, and the highest level seemed to be Soul King?"

"But Brother Lu managed to lead this team through all the challenges."

Tang Wulin's eyes brightened, as if he had returned to those exhilarating days on the field:
"The most classic battle was against the Shrek Academy team, which had a data projection of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Sis, you know, the original Shrek Seven Devils were legendary figures. Even if it was just a data projection, it simulated the strength of a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint. Everyone thought that Sun Moon Academy was bound to lose..."

His tone unconsciously carried excitement and admiration:

“But Brother Lu... he just stood up like that.”

"The specific details of the battle still seem unbelievable to me now. He always seemed to be able to see through all the weaknesses of his opponents and break through their attacks in the most precise and unbelievable way."

"It's not just about individual strength, but also about the wisdom and courage to control the entire situation and make flawless plans!"

"In the end, he really led the team to create a miracle and defeated the Shrek Projection team, which was almost impossible to beat!"

Tang Wulin became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, his face beaming with genuine admiration:
“From then on, I paid special attention to Brother Lu. He was so reckless when he cultivated, and his strength improved at an alarming rate, but he took special care of us friends and partners.”

"He never looks down on others because he is strong, and he never refuses to help when he needs it, although sometimes he speaks a bit directly, and even a bit... well, annoying."

"But he never fails to do what he promises."

"Not to mention, it was him who gave me the most crucial guidance and help during my most confused and difficult time..." (End of Chapter)
