Chapter 206: Chapter 206
**Chapter 206: The Unfortunate Child is So Miserable**
As Tang Wutong gazed at Zhao Ling with gratitude, Liu Erlong curiously approached.
"Little girl, you said you traveled back from 10,000 years in the future? But how is that possible? As far as I know, ordinary humans live at most a hundred years. Even Titled Douluo can't live that long."
Liu Erlong narrowed her eyes in thought.
"You look no older than 11 or 12… Did Xiao Wu give birth to you nearly 10,000 years from now?"
Tang Wutong glanced at Liu Erlong, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"And you are…?" she asked cautiously.
Liu Erlong's appearance seemed oddly familiar. Tang Wutong recalled two portraits her mother had drawn by hand—one of her grandmother, and another resembling this woman.
However, the woman before her had long red hair, delicate features, and a curvier figure than the sketch she remembered.
Still uncertain, Tang Wutong hesitated but eventually asked, "Are you… Grandma Erlong?"
Liu Erlong froze for a moment.
Grandma?
Suddenly, she recalled something from Zhao Ling's diary—Xiao Wu had apparently accepted her as a stepmother. So, by extension, it wasn't strange for this child to call her "Grandma."
Smiling slightly, Liu Erlong nodded. "Yes, I'm Liu Erlong. But I don't know if I'm truly your grandmother."
Hearing this, Tang Wutong's eyes lit up.
"Grandma Erlong, I've lived in the God Realm since I was born. One day there is equivalent to one year in the mortal world. Ten thousand years in the mortal world is just 10,000 days to me."
She paused, puffing out her chest proudly.
"The day before yesterday, I heard that the Douluo Realm was fun, so I wanted to visit. But when I descended, I fell into a strange white vortex. When I woke up, I had traveled back over 10,000 years."
Arou's eyes widened.
"The God Realm? You mean Xiao Wu will become a god in the future?"
Arou stared at her daughter with newfound admiration and hope.
'Could it be? Will my Xiao Wu really ascend to godhood one day?'
Tang Wutong smiled brightly.
"Of course, Grandma! You don't know how amazing Mom is. She inherited the Sea God and Asura God's legacies, becoming the only dual-god in the entire Douluo God Realm!"
She beamed with pride, lifting her chin confidently.
Zhao Ling's expression froze.
What the…?
His lips twitched, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Wait… the system erased all of Tang Wutong's memories of Tang San, but now it's rewritten them to make Xiao Wu the dual-god inheritor?
In the original novel, Tang San held the dual-god title, with Xiao Wu sharing his strength as his wife. But now, the system had outright replaced Tang San's achievements with Xiao Wu's.
Arou, meanwhile, looked utterly stunned.
"Xiao Wu… is that powerful?"
She turned to her daughter in disbelief.
How could this be? Wasn't Xiao Wu supposed to be the scabbard of the Asura Sword, not the wielder of it?
Arou vividly remembered reading in the diary that both the Sea God and Asura God's inheritances were meant for a man named Tang San—someone supposedly destined to be her future son-in-law and Tang Wutong's father.
But now, her granddaughter was saying Xiao Wu held both legacies.
Arou frowned.
"Wutong, do you know who your father is?"
Tang Wutong's expression darkened.
"My father…" She hesitated before shaking her head. "I have no memory of him. I've never remembered him, and I've always felt annoyed when thinking about him. Maybe it's because he abandoned me and Mom."
She shrugged.
"But it doesn't matter. I have Mom, Aunt Rongrong, Aunt Zhuqing, and all my uncles who care about me."
Arou's heart sank.
Her memories of her father were erased…
She glanced at Zhao Ling, wondering if he—or his system—had a hand in this.
Ah Yin listened silently and nodded in quiet agreement.
As expected, she remembers nothing about Tang San. Even her memory of her paternal grandparents must be gone.
A wave of pity washed over Ah Yin.
That poor child… Her father has been erased from existence. How sad.
However, Ah Yin quickly reminded herself of something else.
Wait… didn't she make the same choice?
By marrying Zhao Ling, she had ensured Tang San was never born in this timeline.
Snuggling into Zhao Ling's embrace, Ah Yin smiled softly.
'I have no regrets. My life with Zhao Ling is peaceful and fulfilling. Even if he can be a bit… intense.'
Arou glanced at Ah Yin, who rested happily in Zhao Ling's arms, and let out a long sigh.
That poor Tang San. His mother is now Zhao Ling's wife, his future wife adores Zhao Ling, and even she can't resist his charm.
Worst of all, Tang San's own daughter had forgotten him.
And with Zhao Ling's inexplicable "charm," who's to say Wutong won't fall for him too someday?
The thought left Arou feeling conflicted.
'I can't resist him, and I doubt Wutong can either.'
She brushed Tang Wutong's hair tenderly.
"It's alright if you don't remember. As long as you have us—your mom, Grandma Erlong, and me—you'll never be alone."
Liu Erlong, smirking mischievously, reached out and patted Tang Wutong's head.
"Little one, how did you recognize me? I'm nothing like I used to be."
Tang Wutong giggled and explained the portraits her mother had drawn, adding that Liu Erlong was her mother's stepmother.
Feigning surprise, Liu Erlong shot Xiao Wu a playful glance.
"Xiao Wu, who knew I'd end up as your mother-in-law, huh?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, muttering under her breath.
Come on… you already knew all of this from the diary. Why pretend now?
