Chapter 381: I Envy Him for Having Such a Father in Law
Reality.
"I'm doomed, I'm completely doomed! Elder Ye, now everyone knows my secret! What am I supposed to do from now on?!" Huo Yuhao anxiously paced in circles, feeling as if he had just been stripped naked in front of a massive crowd.
This Q&A system was absolutely outrageous!
It had exposed all of his secrets, laid all his trump cards bare for the world to see. For the first time, Huo Yuhao truly understood what it meant to know too much.
Right now, he felt an intense urge to silence every single person who had just learned about him otherwise, how was he supposed to feel safe?
"Calm down, Yuhao."
However, the main culprit behind all this, Elder Ye, was completely unbothered.
"You really don't need to panic like this. First of all, we don't even know how many people actually believe the video's authenticity. But let's assume they all believe it so what?
You have powerful backers.
Have you forgotten that the Sea God has already taken notice of you? No one will dare risk offending the Sea God just to target you.
Not to mention, you have the protection of fate itself. As long as no god level expert personally moves against you, or you don't dig your own grave, you don't need to fear for your life."
"So you're saying… the Sea God is my backer now?" Huo Yuhao murmured.
At first, this idea sounded great.
Having a god as a patron meant that from now on, he wouldn't have to suffer humiliation, wouldn't have to endure oppression.
He wouldn't say he could walk sideways across the Douluo Continent, but at the very least, he wouldn't have to bow his head to anyone anymore.
However, as the video continued playing, Huo Yuhao quickly realized…
He might have been too naive.
This particular video had been carefully edited by Ye Cheng.
It followed Huo Yuhao's original fate but with a few "extra touches."
In this version of the future, Huo Yuhao would absolutely NOT end up as a loyal dog of the Tang Family.
In the video
After receiving the sacrifice of the Million Year Soul Beast, Huo Yuhao was taken in by Tang Ya and joined the Tang Sect.
From there, he was brought to Shrek Academy.
At this moment, many viewers recalled how the Sea God had previously mentioned that this "new star" had deep connections to the Tang Sect.
With this confirmation, they became even more convinced that Huo Yuhao was indeed the new star the Sea God had spoken of.
At this point, reactions varied greatly.
Some people began plotting how to eliminate him early.
Others began scheming how to recruit him.
And some simply wanted to befriend him, hoping to ride his coattails.
This moment perfectly displayed the full spectrum of human nature.
Meanwhile, in the God Realm.
Watching this mysterious Q&A system accurately reveal his past, Tang San's face darkened.
If he had a clear conscience, this wouldn't be an issue.
The problem was… he didn't.
Especially regarding Huo Yuhao, he had secretly manipulated many things.
And even worse his future plans weren't exactly righteous.
If the Q&A system ended up exposing everything…
His spotless, noble image as "The Righteous and Pure Tang God King" would be completely ruined.
To be honest, he didn't really care if the mortals of Douluo Continent learned the truth.
At worst, he could just intimidate them into silence.
Given his god level power, he could easily threaten everyone and erase the evidence. Within a hundred years, all knowledge of his deeds would fade into obscurity.
But the real problem… was the other gods.
If they learned about his true intentions
Then his "righteous and flawless" reputation would be permanently shattered.
Back in the video
As Huo Yuhao settled into Shrek Academy, he met his new roommate Wang Dong'er.
Then, through a series of events, they discovered that both of them possessed three martial souls.
And not only that
Their martial souls were perfectly compatible!
At this moment, many viewers immediately sensed that something wasn't right.
"Coincidence?"
"Too many coincidences."
With the perspective of an outsider, it was much easier to spot the patterns.
From Huo Yuhao's first meeting with Wang Dong, to the series of events that followed
Everything seemed too well arranged, as if someone had deliberately orchestrated it all.
And their spirits were a perfect match?
That's nonsense.
How could Spirit Eyes and Goddess of Light Butterfly be perfectly compatible?
And even more absurd how could Spirit Eyes and Clear Sky Hammer undergo martial soul fusion?
No matter how much they thought about it
It didn't make sense!
At this moment, many people in the live broadcast began having suspicions.
They recalled how the Sea God had paid special attention to Huo Yuhao.
And they remembered that his daughter had supposedly snuck down to the mortal realm.
Could it be…
That Wang Dong was actually the Sea God's daughter?!
If so…
Then the Sea God was clearly trying to make Huo Yuhao his son in law!
The moment this thought emerged
Countless viewers suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of jealousy.
This was too unfair!
Huo Yuhao had already won the fate lottery with his Million Year Soul Ring.
Now, the Sea God himself was personally arranging for him to marry his daughter?
And not only that
The Sea God even modified their martial souls so they would be perfectly compatible?!
This was the ultimate VIP treatment!
Countless people sighed in the chat.
[Where can I find a father in law like this?!]
[Huo Yuhao, I beg you, trade lives with me!]
[God damn it! Why wasn't I born with the same luck?!]
[Forget being a god just having a father in law like this would be enough for me!]
At this moment, nearly everyone was dying of jealousy.
But as the video continued
That jealousy would soon turn into pity.
Because our dear Sea God had never intended to abdicate his throne.
In truth
The reason he sent his daughter down to Huo Yuhao wasn't to help him.
It was to control him.
To keep a leash on this "Child of Destiny".
To ensure that Huo Yuhao would never surpass him.
To tame him.
To turn him into the Tang Family's most loyal hunting dog.
That… was the true plan of the so called Righteous and Pure Tang God King.
Back in reality.
Huo Yuhao watched the video, stunned.
So Wang Dong was actually the Sea God's daughter?
And the Sea God wanted to make him his successor?
"Wait… Isn't this a good thing?"
At first, he didn't mind at all.
After all, from what he had seen so far, the Sea God hadn't done anything harmful to him.
And if this meant inheriting a god's position for free
Then wasn't this an unbelievable win?
But watching Huo Yuhao's naive reaction, Ye Cheng could only chuckle in amusement.
"You really think heaven just gives out free meals?"
"You'll see soon enough, kid."
"And when you do… you'll regret thinking this was a good thing."
