Meeting the Family? Her Aunt Zi Yan!

"Boom!"

With an explosive bang, Zi Yue's entire body...

Oh, no!

Her entire dragon body was sent flying by a single slash of Li Wuyou's sword, embedding her directly in the wall outside the Soul Fighting arena.

"Huh???"

"What the hell was that???"

Zi Yue looked utterly bewildered, her head buzzing as she lay embedded in the wall with her arms and legs splayed.

What had just happened?

How had she been sent flying by a single sword strike in the blink of an eye?

How had Li Wuyou disappeared?

And how had he suddenly appeared beside her?

Could it have been a spatial Soul Skill?

While Zi Yue racked her brains, a smug smile appeared on Li Wuyou's lips as he stood in the arena.

The Self-Created Soul Skill he had used to defeat Zi Yue was actually quite simple.

Its name was Flash Step!

By gathering a large amount of Soul Power beneath his feet and releasing it in a sudden burst, he could achieve the effect of instant movement over a short distance.

The requirements for learning the move were simple, too: all one needed was sufficient control over Soul Power.

Of course, it was only simple by Li Wuyou's standards. For anyone else, it was far from easy!

To learn Flash Step, one also needed to be familiar with the human body's meridians and the like.

Otherwise, before one even learned Flash Step, something would go wrong with one's feet. At best, the meridians would be damaged; at worst, the Soul Power would make both feet burst apart.

Taking his eyes off Zi Yue, Li Wuyou dismissed the Angel Holy Sword in his hand and turned to the referee, Doudou, who was also standing there dumbfounded, clearly still unable to recover her senses.

"The winner's been decided!"

"Referee, it's time to announce the result of the Soul Fight!"

He had to admit, this really was a good spot!

Looking up at the referee Doudou offered a rather different view.

A pair of long, slender, straight legs!

Mm!

White!

With a cartoon red panda pattern, too.

It was certainly girlish.

And there was a mysterious tunnel!

Flickering in and out of view!

Like an endless abyss!

"Huh???"

Just then, Doudou's delicate body trembled.

She abruptly came to her senses and hurriedly looked at Zi Yue, embedded in the wall outside the arena, then at Li Wuyou, who stood calmly on the stage.

Doudou raised her right hand tremblingly and used the soul tool amplifier in her left hand to announce the result of the Soul Fight in a loud voice.

"One-on-one Soul Fight challenging a higher level!"

"I declare Angel the winner!"

As soon as Doudou finished the announcement, she snapped her legs together.

Her cheeks flushed red.

She had clearly noticed Li Wuyou's gaze.

Only then did she remember something.

It was her first day back at work after a vacation. Before she had time to change, her best friend Zi Yue had dragged her over to be the referee, and she wasn't even wearing safety shorts to prevent exposure.

Standing high above the arena as she was, Angel below had probably seen everything!

While Zi Yue was dumbfounded, Li Wuyou was savoring the view, and the referee Doudou was blushing, the previously silent Great Soul Arena erupted into an uproar and gasps like a collapsing mountain and a surging sea.

"He won? Angel won just like that? What happened? Wasn't Little Dragon Girl beating him back just a moment ago? How did Angel win this Soul Fight?"

"Yeah, yeah! Some expert with a big dick, explain it! I didn't even blink just now, but I still couldn't see how Angel appeared beside Little Dragon Girl!"

"He suddenly disappeared, then suddenly appeared beside Little Dragon Girl. Moving that fast, could Angel have used a spatial teleportation Soul Skill just now?"

That reversal was absurd beyond belief!

Countless spectators stared at Li Wuyou in the arena, dumbstruck and disbelieving, as waves of discussion echoed throughout the venue.

"Tsk! Did I lose?"

Zi Yue came to her senses, still embedded in the wall.

She struggled free of the wall's hold and, the moment she landed, canceled her complete dragon transformation mode, instantly returning to the heroic, dashing mature beauty she had been before.

Zi Yue's long purple hair was somewhat disheveled. She gazed blankly at the young man basking in glory in the arena, her beautiful eyes full of love.

Although she didn't know how Li Wuyou had beaten her, a loss was a loss. As the dignified eldest young lady of the Zi Clan, she was willing to accept the outcome of their wager.

From now on, when they were together, whether they were out and about or she was at home supporting her husband and raising their children, she would listen to Li Wuyou in everything. Even the position Li Wuyou had suggested last night wasn't out of the question!

She could even go along with it if Li Wuyou wanted one dragon to play with multiple phoenixes, and she could even drag her best friend Doudou into it.

Doudou: "What the fuck do you mean, one dragon playing with multiple phoenixes?!"

Little Yueyue, having a best friend like you really is my, Doudou's, good fortune!

Meanwhile, in the courtyard behind the Great Soul Arena.

Li Wuyou and Zi Yue sat close together.

Zi Yue held Li Wuyou's arm, smiling, while Li Wuyou sat as if on pins and needles, with thorns pricking his back and a fishbone lodged in his throat.

That was because an elegant middle-aged beauty sat upright across from them.

She wore a dark purple qipao, her long hair swept up high. Her features bore a strong resemblance to Zi Yue's, and the powerful Soul Power pressure of a Titled Douluo faintly radiated from her.

The middle-aged beauty's gaze rested lightly on the two of them. Though she showed no anger, her face carried its own authority. She was Zi Yue's mother in name, Zi Yan.

"Little fellow, this is our first meeting. I'm Zi Yue's aunt. Since you're together with Little Yue, you can just call me Auntie!"

After introducing herself, Zi Yan restrained the powerful Soul Power pressure leaking from her body.

She drank a cup of hot tea with a relaxed air, making no particular effort to explain why she was Zi Yue's mother in name, nor where Zi Yue's biological parents actually were.

There were some things she didn't need to say. Zi Yue would tell Li Wuyou the truth herself when the time came.

"Uh... hello, Auntie!"

"I'm Li Wuyou. Wuyou as in carefree!"

"You can just call me Wuyou, Auntie!"

After introducing himself, Li Wuyou looked ill at ease.

He had never expected to meet Zi Yue's family so soon!

Well!

When he thought about how quickly he and Zi Yue had ended up in bed, he came to terms with it!

They'd rolled in the sheets on the first day they met!

And met the family on the second!

That speed was really something else!

As long as they didn't get married and hold the wedding banquet on the third day, it was fine!

"Oh, Mom, stop making things difficult for Brother Wuyou!"

Zi Yue pouted, looking unhappy.

Li Wuyou was not only the boyfriend she had chosen, but also the man who had conquered her head-on in the Soul Fighting arena.

"Girl, you haven't even married yet, and you're already letting your elbow bend outward!"

The corners of Zi Yan's mouth twitched, and black lines appeared across her forehead.

Just what kind of bewitching soup had Li Wuyou, the pig who had rooted up her family's cabbage, fed that wretched girl Zi Yue?

"Mom, I'm not letting my elbow bend outward!"

"After all, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Since I chose Brother Wuyou, of course I have to side with my own man!"

Zi Yue scratched her head awkwardly, not daring to meet her mother's gaze.

She knew in her heart that she was putting on a hilariously filial display, but she had to help the man she had chosen, too!

"Auntie, please don't take it to heart. Little Yueyue still cares about you!"

Li Wuyou stepped forward to help Zi Yue out of her predicament.

What kind of man would let his own girlfriend stand in front and take the brunt of it?
