Chapter 335: A Lifetime of Nightmares
At this moment, there was a space fluctuation, and Zhao Ling's figure appeared.
Looking at his three lovely wives playing with their little children in the courtyard, Zhao Ling felt a little dazed.
He clearly felt that he had only spent a few days in the Divine Realm and the Dantian Eighteen Realms airspace.
Yet, five years had passed in the outside world, and the little lives in Yin'er, Rou'er, and Long'er's bellies had been born one after another.
This feeling was truly strange. Zhao Ling sighed and called out to the three women, "Yin'er, Long'er, Rou'er, your husband is back..."
The three wives, who were holding their little kids and coaxing them, were momentarily stunned when they heard the voice they were so familiar with.
Ah Yin turned to look at Liu Erlong and Ah Rou and asked tentatively, "Did I just hear my husband's voice? Am I hallucinating because I miss him so much?"
"I heard it too. Maybe we really missed him too much. My husband is really something. He left for five whole years and never came back. Did he get seduced by some wild woman out there?" Liu Erlong nodded in agreement, complaining about Zhao Ling's unfaithfulness.
Arou pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "It shouldn't be that serious, right? We have so many sisters, and each of us is a beauty. Let's not talk about anything else—just Sister Na'er. Her beauty and temperament—who in Douluo Continent can match her?"
"But… before my husband left Tiandou City, he never managed to win over Sister Na'er. Who knows if he's sulking because of that and unwilling to come back?" Liu Erlong curled her lips in dissatisfaction and sighed heavily.
"Hey, I feel like, compared to Sister Na'er, we sisters seem to be insignificant. My husband didn't come back to see us for five years just because he couldn't win her over. Humph, what a scumbag."
Zhao Ling listened to Liu Erlong's complaints, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently. This girl really thinks of herself as some super scumbag. He raised his hand and patted Liu Erlong on the shoulder.
"Wow, Long'er, you actually think of your husband like that? You're really something..."
When Liu Erlong heard the sound and felt a pat on her shoulder, she was startled, causing the child in her arms to be thrown into the air.
Fortunately, the child, like her other sisters, could fly as soon as she was born.
The little one flew into the air by herself and then complained to Liu Erlong in dissatisfaction, "Mom, you're fine, so why are you throwing me out? If I couldn't fly and fell to my death, wouldn't that be an unjust death?"
The little baby then flew toward Zhao Ling, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Are you Lan'er's father?"
Zhao Ling smiled and nodded, then hugged the baby flying in front of him into his arms and comforted her gently, "Well, I'm your sisters' father. I'm sorry I came back late due to some circumstances and wasn't able to see you when you were born. Your mother is quite impatient. Did she scare you just now? I apologize on her behalf."
"It doesn't matter. I could fly as soon as I was born. I'm not afraid of falling."
The little baby looked at Zhao Ling with a pair of beautiful big eyes and then smiled happily, "Wow, Dad is so handsome! No wonder so many mothers like him..."
At that moment, the babies in Ah Yin and Arou's arms saw their father had returned, and they began to struggle restlessly in their mothers' arms, shouting, "Dad, Dad, I want Dad!"
Ah Yin and Arou were helpless and let go of the children in their arms.
Two more little brats flew toward Zhao Ling, shouting, "Sister Lan, don't stay in Daddy's arms all the time! We want Daddy to hold us too!"
"No, wait a moment, I want my super handsome dad to hold me longer."
However, Zhao Lan refused to leave Zhao Ling's arms.
So the other two little kids could only fly to Zhao Ling's shoulders and lie on them, puffing their cheeks as they looked at Zhao Lan, who was nestled in Zhao Ling's arms.
At this point, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Arou were finally certain that Zhao Ling had returned. They quickly rushed to his side.
"Hubby, you're finally back! We thought you were sulking because Sister Na'er didn't give you a chance, so you didn't come back."
Liu Erlong curled her lips in dissatisfaction and complained to Zhao Ling, "Yes, husband, why did you leave for so long this time? We sisters were all worried about your safety."
Ah Yin also nodded, secretly complaining that her husband used to write in a diary often. But for the past five years, he hadn't written a single entry.
As a result, the sisters couldn't use the diaries to determine whether their husband was still alive.
"Hubby, you must not leave for several years at a time in the future. You're making us sisters feel uneasy..."
Arou also nodded heavily. For her, she had written enough diaries like this—worrying about the people she loved. Before, it was Xiao Wu's father, and now it's Zhao Ling. She really didn't want to live in such fear anymore.
"Three silly girls, who else in the current Douluo plane can pose a life threat to my husband?" Zhao Ling replied with a smile. "I just saw that Ping'an was being too naughty, so I thought I'd take Yan'er with me to deal with him for a while. I thought I could use that time to perfect the eighteen realms of space in my dantian, so I asked Dong'er to prepare a room for me to go into seclusion. Then I went to the God Realm to absorb a lot of Heaven and Earth Yuanli and took away the Heaven and Earth Yuanli of the Douluo Mortal Realm. I used the extra part to improve the Eighteen Realms' airspace."
Zhao Ling sighed heavily and continued, "I feel like I only stayed in the Divine Realm and the Eighteen Realms for a few days at most. But who would have thought that after I perfected the Eighteen Realms of Space, I would be released five years later? I was so shocked at the time."
Zhao Ling made an exaggerated expression. "Do you know how it felt when I first came out of my secluded room and a six-year-old boy hugged my thighs and called me 'Dad'? He even cried and asked me if I knew how he had survived the past five years. I felt like a Muggle at that time."
The three girls couldn't help but burst out laughing at Zhao Ling's lifelike performance. They all felt a little sorry for that naughty kid, Zhao Ping'an. Five years. Five years of being beaten by his sisters. This period would probably haunt the child for a lifetime, right?
"So that's how it is. Then… husband, can we sisters become gods in your Eighteen Realms now?" Ah Yin thought of this problem first. For them, who had already reached the level of Titled Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo, becoming gods was now the top priority. Only by becoming gods could they stay with their husbands forever—how could they not care?
