After bidding farewell to the female students, Tang Wutong left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy alone.
Along the way, her exceptional beauty caught the attention of many passersby. She looked like a delicate porcelain doll—charming and pleasing to the eye.
Especially given her youthful appearance, around eleven or twelve years old, many older women and aunties couldn't help but smile warmly at the sight of her.
Naturally, quite a few men were also captivated by her cuteness, wishing they had such an adorable daughter. However, to avoid being seen as creepy, none of them dared approach her.
Despite being only eleven or twelve, Tang Wutong remained composed. Thanks to her twin martial spirits, her spirit power had already reached level 25, allowing her to fight at a level above most spirit Elders in their 30s.
Due to the influence of the system, she had crossed into a parallel world ten thousand years in the past before Tang San had planted a trace of divine consciousness on her.
As a result, she only possessed two martial spirits—Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer. The Sea God martial spirit had not yet manifested. Still, even without it, her twin spirits made her exceptionally powerful in this timeline.
Therefore, she wasn't afraid of strangers trying to take advantage of her. She made her way to the local branch of the Spirit Hall, based on directions she had gathered from the female students at the academy.
Staring at the grand and luxurious Spirit Hall branch building, Tang Wutong was torn between two theories.
Either she had truly traveled back to a time when the Spirit Hall hadn't been destroyed yet, or it had been wiped out and later reemerged from the ashes.
Tang Wutong leaned more toward the former—believing she had traveled back ten thousand years in time.
After all, her mother had become both the Sea God and the Asura God, and with the help of Aunt Rongrong and Uncle Xiao Ao, had defeated the two gods of the Spirit Hall and destroyed its vast power.
Such a legendary feat couldn't have simply vanished from history—along with her mother, her aunt and uncles, and even Shrek Academy. It just didn't make sense.
But if this really was the past, then where was her mother now? And her First and Second Uncles? Could they be in Star Dou Forest?
She couldn't figure it out. Her mind was a complete mess.
Just as frustration overwhelmed her, her stomach started growling—she was starving.
She wanted to eat, but she had no money on her. She could only drool as she passed street vendors selling delicious food.
Her mother had told her that on the Douluo Continent, you needed money to buy food. But she didn't even have a single copper spirit coin. She felt so pitiful.
She had randomly traveled to the Douluo mortal realm ten thousand years in the past—without a single coin or even a bit of food. If she ended up starving to death, that would be a major tragedy.
Imagine, the daughter of the Sea God and the Asura God, dying of starvation in the mortal world ten thousand years ago. If word of that ever got back to the Divine Realm, the gods would probably die laughing.
But now Tang Wutong wasn't even sure if she could ever return to the Divine Realm.
She wandered aimlessly through the streets, staying constantly on guard in case anyone tried to approach her.
A kind vendor, noticing her pitiful state, offered her two buns. But she didn't dare take them—instead, she turned and ran.
And so, Tang Wutong remained hungry. Her vision started to blur—something she had never experienced before.
Back in the Divine Realm, whenever she was hungry and told Uncle Xiao Ao, he'd always whip up delicious meals. The thought of those flavors just made her stomach growl louder.
Many people who saw this delicate and lovely girl looking so pitiful tried to offer her food, but she still refused.
Her mother and aunts had warned her never to accept food from strangers—there was no telling if they might drug her.
They had also warned her that there were strange men in the Douluo mortal world who used such tricks to gain little girls' trust before doing unspeakable things.
Now, in a time ten thousand years before her own, Tang Wutong had to be even more cautious—after all, she had no family here.
Well, not exactly no family. According to her theory, her mother, First Uncle, and Second Uncle should be in the Star Dou Forest at this point in time.
As long as she could reach them, everything would be fine—no more hunger, and she'd be safe.
With her stomach growling, she stumbled upon a large, ancient building that looked long abandoned. She slumped against the front door to rest.
When someone is starving, sleep is the best way to preserve energy.
So she curled up by the door and spent the night like that. Even though she could barely sleep from hunger, she had no other choice.
By midmorning the next day, Tang Wutong woke up, but her hunger was even worse than the day before.
She murmured pitifully,"Mom… First Uncle… Second Uncle… where are you? Xiao Qi misses you… Xiao Qi is hungry…"
Perhaps the heavens took pity on her, because just then, a two-horse carriage stopped in front of her.
One by one, people stepped off the carriage.
The first was a very handsome and charming man, followed by three women and a small pink rabbit.
Tang Wutong stared in stunned silence at the rabbit—nestled in the arms of a beautiful woman with waist-length pink hair. Her pupils constricted sharply.
That rabbit's aura… why is it exactly the same as Mom's?
And that woman with the pink waist-length hair—why did she look so much like her mother?
Tang Wutong thought they looked 70–80% alike.
Most importantly, in her mother's bedroom, there were two portraits she had personally painted.
One of those portraits looked exactly like this woman holding the rabbit. Her mother had told her that the woman in that portrait was her maternal grandmother.
Tang Wutong had never expected to one day meet someone who looked just like the woman in that painting.
She was shocked.
At that moment, Zhao Ling turned to Liu Erlong and asked,"Long'er, is this the house you mentioned? It looks alright… just a bit rundown…"
He looked at the large building, then glanced at the beautiful girl with pink-blue hair sitting weakly at the doorstep. His heart skipped a beat.
And before he could stop himself, he blurted out:"Holy crap…"
