What Do You Mean You're Not Just My Martial Uncle?
"You're truly in high spirits, Sword Champion Master."
"He took care of Hoolay so easily, without even using any force when he hit me."
Bai Luoming walked along, making sarcastic remarks about Jingliu.
This time, when he attacked Hoolay, he didn't even use his ultimate move. Didn't you see when Jingliu attacked him, his brain seemed to be controlled by Mara-Struck, and he only wanted to eat soybeans and wanted to chop him into mincemeat?
Hoolay: I'm truly sorry I didn't let Sword Champion Master have his fill.
Jingliu followed Bai Luoming forward, with Yanqing following closely beside her. At this time, his injuries had basically healed completely, but his face was still somewhat pale.
Hearing this, she rolled her eyes at Bai Luoming, then snorted and said, "I'm going to take you as my disciple, how can I not let you see my strength?"
Before Bai Luoming could react, Yanqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "You really are my martial uncle?"
Bai Luoming looked at Yanqing, smiled and nodded. Now this kid should believe it, right?
However, Jingliu had no intention of giving up. She stretched out a hand and gently patted Yanqing on the back of the head.
"You brat, what are you saying? Call him Grandmaster!"
Even though Jingliu didn't use much force, Yanqing was in such poor condition that she was still knocked off balance and almost fell.
However, Yanqing didn't pay attention to any of that, and instead looked at Jingliu with a shocked expression.
His eyes widened, and his voice trembled as he asked Jingliu, "Grandmaster, you're not joking, are you?"
Jingliu nodded and said seriously to Yanqing, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Yanqing stopped and remained silent, clearly deeply affected by Jingliu's words.
He simply couldn't understand how someone could be both an apprentice and a husband.
Jingliu and Bai Luoming were not in a hurry. They stood still and waited quietly for Yanqing. Bai Luoming even had a clear smile in his eyes, looking forward to Yanqing's reaction.
Yanqing remained silent for a moment, looked at Bai Luoming, hesitated for a moment, and finally became respectful, saying to Bai Luoming, "Grandmaster..."
Bai Luoming nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand to pat Yanqing's head, and said with a smile, "Hey, there's no need to be so formal. We're about the same age."
As Yanqing watched Bai Luoming's hand get closer and closer, she instinctively wanted to pull her head away, but in the end she resisted the urge and let Bai Luoming stroke her.
Hearing Bai Luoming's words, his little mind seemed to freeze again. What did he mean by "about the same age as me"? So, his grandmaster...
No, such a thought is too outrageous. Yanqing quickly shook her head, banishing the idea from her mind and daring not to think about it again.
Seeing this, Bai Luoming didn't make things difficult for Yanqing any further. He glanced at Jingliu, smiled, and said, "Let's go, there's still a fierce battle to come."
Jingliu nodded and strode away with Bai Luoming.
Seeing this, Yanqing quickly stopped the thoughts swirling in her mind and hurried after him.
The three quickly arrived at the entrance to the Scalegorge Waterscape. There was no one guarding the place at this time. Usually, it should have been the soldiers of the Vidyadhara stationed here, but now there was no one there.
Seeing this, Bai Luoming was puzzled and asked Jingliu, "Shouldn't someone be guarding this place?"
Jingliu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"I don't know, perhaps this place has fallen."
"That shouldn't be the case. There's not a trace of a battle here. And if no one is there to ferry us in, how are we supposed to get in?"
It's not that complicated.
As Jingliu spoke, she took a step forward, and the cold air condensed beneath her feet, instantly freezing the surface of the Scalegorge Waterscape's waters and forming an ice path.
"Oh, so it's the Ice-Cold Crossing the Sea True Lord. Could you say a few words to me?"
Bai Luoming stretched out his hand, gave Jingliu a thumbs-up, and praised him.
Jingliu turned to Bai Luoming and smiled kindly, then snorted coldly, said nothing more, and walked forward first.
She could roughly guess what Bai Luoming was going to say. After all, in her previous life, Bai Luoming had also tricked her by saying things like, "Freeze it!" or "How about this?" while freezing ice.
Seeing that Jingliu did not respond and just kept walking forward on his own, Bai Luoming looked regretful, sighed softly, and followed closely behind Jingliu.
Yanqing followed silently behind the two, seemingly lost in thought.
And so, Bai Luoming and Jingliu walked into the depths of Scalegorge Waterscape, chatting and laughing, with a silent little tail following behind them.
Time flew by as they played around, and before they knew it, the three of them had reached the depths of the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Gazing at the giant dragon statue covered in moss and the surrounding ruins, Jingliu seemed lost in memories, his expression somewhat dazed.
Bai Luoming noticed Jingliu's unusual behavior, stepped forward, gently took her hand, pulled her to his side, and whispered, "Don't think too much about it. It's all in the past. From now on, I'll take care of your life."
Jingliu looked somewhat dazed, then turned to look at Bai Luoming with a complicated expression and a flickering gaze.
Finally, she nodded slightly without saying a word, but moved closer to Bai Luoming and gripped his hand tighter.
Yanqing:...
He'd seen it all before, but every time he saw this scene, he still felt a little awkward.
Why is my own martial uncle my grandmaster?! And he's even a short-lived species, so he might not even be older than me!
And so, the group continued on their way, and soon arrived at a place that seemed particularly out of place in the vast Scalegorge Waterscape, yet appeared to be the only place they could set foot on.
As the three approached, besides the roar of the waves from the Scalegorge Waterscape, they could faintly hear another sound.
"Luofu, I'm coming for you! Yaoguang, you just wait! How dare you betray our alliance!"
"Oh? Tell me, what do you intend to do to me?"
Feixiao's smug expression hadn't completely faded when he heard this, and his smile froze.
She mechanically turned her head to look, and right there in her blind spot, Yaoguang stood quietly, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
What's this guy doing here? Judging by this, did he hear everything I just said?
"When... when did you get here?"
Undeterred, Feixiao stammered as he continued to question Yaoguang.
"Oh, not long at all. I've been there ever since you landed."
"I don't think you'd say anything out of the blue, would you?"
After receiving Yaoguang's affirmative answer, Feixiao calmed down and began to threaten Yaoguang.
"Hehe, we're allies, why would I say such things?"
"Good to know, otherwise I have plenty of strength and means!"
Feixiao clenched his fist and shook it, inadvertently revealing his biceps and showing off his strength to Yaoguang.
"..."
This girl is still the same; even after being reborn, she's become even more attached to martial arts. Could it be that her brain was damaged by practicing martial arts in her previous life?
Yaoguang recalled that Feixiao had indeed practiced martial arts like crazy in his previous life. The more he practiced, the more Feixiao leaned towards physical strength and used his brain less.
But this guy has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the battle against the Abominations of Abundance; it's hard to tell if he's faking it or if it's genuine.
You can't ask her questions, because if you do, she'll just say something like, "Super Wisdom is telling her she should use Super Power."
Thinking of this, Yaoguang sighed silently, realizing that forming an alliance with Feixiao might not be a good choice.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Didn't you sneak off? What are you doing here?"
Feixiao looked at the silent Yaoguang, scratched his head, and asked Yaoguang in confusion.
"Heh, with our relationship, would I abandon you? It was just a joke."
"Oh, that's good. By the way, what's the status of the Xianzhou Luofu?"
"It's not a big deal. Ambrosial Arbor has already been resurrected. We just need to work with Jing Yuan to take down Phantylia. The rest can be left to Luofu to handle."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go! My fists are itching for blood!"
