**Chapter 322: I Always Feel Uneasy**
"Dad, Dad, are the characters in those stories you mentioned all Titled Douluo from the Douluo Continent? Were there really so many Titled Douluo in its history?" Zhao Mengyan asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She found the stories about these historical figures incredibly interesting.
Zhao Ling rubbed his temples. He had never revealed the truth about his origins as someone from another world to his family. Moreover, he had no idea that the sixth entity in his system would divulge such personal details to everyone.
Struggling to come up with a plausible explanation, Zhao Ling finally said, "These characters are actually adapted from novels I've read."
Zhao Mengyan's face lit up with excitement. "Really? That's amazing! Will you find the scripts for me to read?"
Zhao Ling smiled. "Of course, I'll get them for you. You'll have a better understanding once you read them."
"Awesome!" Zhao Mengyan cheered. She was thrilled, as life on Poseidon Island was growing monotonous. With only six or seven thousand people living there and no exciting games or books to pass the time, she was eager for something new. The games and books her father promised were exactly what she needed to break the monotony.
Zhao Ling nodded, pleased to see his daughter so happy. "I'm glad you like it. Actually, I have something important to discuss with you."
He turned to Poseidon, recalling his plans. "Xi'er, after we leave Poseidon Island, I plan to take Yan'er to Wuhun City. Ping'an is such a mischievous boy, and I think Yan'er will be able to teach him a good lesson. It's said that sisters have a natural ability to discipline their younger brothers. I'm sure Yan'er will be able to handle him."
"Really?" Zhao Mengyan's face brightened even more. "Dad, you're really taking me to the mainland? That's great! Don't worry, I'll make sure Ping'an behaves. If he dares to act out in front of me, I'll show him what a sister's love really means!"
Poseidon, however, seemed worried. "How long will this take? I feel uneasy about letting Yan'er go so far away."
Zhao Ling, noticing the concern in Poseidon's eyes, stroked her head gently. "Don't worry, Xi'er. I'll be with her the entire time. Are you afraid someone will try to seduce her?"
Bo Saixi smiled softly. "No, not that. Considering how much you dote on our daughter, if any man were to try something, he'd probably end up dead."
Zhao Ling chuckled nervously. "I'm not that extreme, am I?"
Poseidon shook her head. "No, but I do worry about how much you spoil her. You're always so protective."
Zhao Ling then went on to teach them how to play the games he brought with him, but Zhao Mengyan couldn't contain her excitement. "Let's try them out now! I'm especially curious about the Triple Kill game."
Zhao Ling flashed a playful grin. "Not right now, daughter. Your mother and I have some things to discuss. You go play with Xiaobai and Sister Hainv."
Zhao Mengyan sighed dramatically. "It's always like this. Every time you show up, I have to go play with them. How boring!"
She gathered the games, placing them in her storage soul guide, and reluctantly left the Temple of Poseidon.
Bo Saixi gave Zhao Ling an exasperated look. "Look at you, always sending Mengyan away. She's just a child, and you're making her feel neglected."
Zhao Ling laughed softly. "It's not that bad. I've just arrived, and I can't sit idly by, can I?"
He then pulled Poseidon into his lap and, with a soft chuckle, kissed her gently. As their embrace deepened, the power of the domain expanded, enveloping the entire Sea God Temple.
The scene shifts to Hanhai City, a key port city located on the northwest border of the Tiandou Empire.
After several days of travel, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and their party finally reached this important port. They were anxious, knowing that it would take about ten days to reach Poseidon Island from Hanhai City. While ten days wasn't an eternity, the urgency of the situation made it feel like one.
They had learned that Tang Chen was suffering in the City of Slaughter, and the brothers' hearts were heavy with worry. They longed to shorten the journey as much as possible, but that was impossible.
Finally, they boarded the ship that would take them to Poseidon Island.
As they gazed out at the endless sea, Tang Xiao spoke to his brother. "Brother Hao, you once said Xiao San's mother was a 100,000-year-old soul beast named Ah Yin. Was Ah Xiu just a replacement sent to us by someone else?"
Tang Hao nodded. "Yes, Xiao San mentioned it. Ah Yin was a Blue Silver Emperor who cultivated for 100,000 years, and she had a close bond with both of us. But after she and I fell in love, you, brother, stepped aside to allow us to be together."
He paused, as the memory seemed to evoke some painful emotions. "Later, Spirit Hall discovered her true identity, which led to all the unfortunate events that followed…"
