Tide, Await My Return!

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong like this, Neuvillette fell into thought.

After thinking for a moment, Neuvillette shook his head. Whatever happened to them had nothing to do with him. For now, he should carefully consider how to get revenge on Focalors once she was resurrected!

He was going to find Dugu Bo for the energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As long as there was enough energy, Focalors would be able to take human form again!

If he truly was Neuvillette, then he needed to settle the debt from those five hundred years with Focalors properly!

Just how many would they have to produce before this grudge could be put to rest!

No, this grudge could never be settled. His wife had only just been resurrected—he could not let her off so easily...

Focalors: "Everyone, I'm panicking!"

Five hundred years!

Even the Monkey King had only been imprisoned for five hundred years after wreaking havoc in Heaven!

A full five hundred years—this debt was no small matter!

After giving it some thought, Neuvillette suddenly said to Focalors in his Sea of Consciousness, "Focalors, don't say anything yet. I know what you're thinking!"

"And I know that you know what I'm thinking!"

"After deceiving me for five hundred years, how many little dragons—or Oceanids—are you planning to create with me?"

"It won't be long before I can find enough energy for you. When that time comes!"

"Heh!"

Focalors did not currently possess a physical form. If she did, her face would surely have been bright red!

There were never many truths in this world; a woman's blush spoke louder than a long stretch of dialogue.

When she lowered her head and could not see her toes, she was truly a peerless beauty—not because she genuinely could not see them, but because even with her head lowered, her gaze was still fixed on you!

Focalors panicked even more!

"Has Neuvillette gone bad?"

"Maybe I should wait a little longer before taking human form?"

"Even if there's enough energy, it still won't be enough!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Having little Oceanids was simply something Focalors did not dare imagine...

"Neuvillette, you should know that the Oceanid race can cast curses, right?"

"Hmph~ Watch out, or I'll curse you!"

"Hmph, a mere Oceanid dares to curse this Dragon King? You overestimate yourself!"

"..."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes filled with confusion. What was wrong with Neuvillette? Why had he suddenly become so strange?

He was smiling!

The corner of his mouth curled up, and his smile looked so sinister!

It made their backs turn cold and sweat break out! Something felt terribly wrong!

Good grief, the heartthrob had instantly turned into a total sleazeball...

At that moment, Neuvillette came back to his senses. Seeing the bewildered expressions on Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's faces, the corner of his eye twitched. Good grief, he had gotten carried away.

His image was completely ruined!

"My apologies, ladies. I just remembered something amusing."

It would have been better if Neuvillette had not explained himself. After he did, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong became even more confused.

Good grief, while chatting with two great beauties, he could still space out because he had remembered something amusing?

What the hell...

What could possibly be more important than talking to them?

A sense of defeat rose within them!

"It's, it's fine."

"Um, we'll be leaving first!"

After saying that, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing seemed to make up their minds. They ran off without looking back!

Too terrifying!

It was truly too terrifying!

Neuvillette's smile had been handsome as well, but they felt as though it were some kind of curse, one that would make them have many... ahem!

Wait, why were they thinking that?

Have many what?

W-was that really something girls their age should be thinking about?

At the very least, they should wait six years, until they t-turned eighteen...

"Uh..."

Neuvillette froze, then said to Focalors in his mind, "Focalors, did I really smile that wickedly just now?"

"Really. Even I was trembling in fear!"

Focalors replied almost without thinking, though her choice of words was a little inappropriate!

Trembling in fear?

She had not trembled at all! There was only...

Neuvillette's mouth fell slightly open. He wanted to say something, but the words would not come out!

"Ah, the image I worked so hard to maintain collapsed in an instant. That truly is a headache!"

He sighed inwardly, then murmured, "Forget it. It's not a big problem. What do their preferences have to do with me?"

Shaking his head, Neuvillette stopped thinking about it.

Suddenly, Neuvillette seemed to remember something, and his entire body jolted!

"Wait, that's not right! They're members of the protagonist's group too. Such fine leeks just ran away???"

Neuvillette was stunned. Only then did he remember that those two were members of the protagonist's group! Premium leeks—and they had left Suotuo City!

Even losing one made his heart ache, let alone two!

His rapid cultivation progress depended entirely on the protagonist's group!

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"The remaining leeks had better not run away. Shrek Academy suits you all so well!"

Neuvillette thought to himself.

Once he returned, he would speak with the Soul Arena. As long as Tang San and the others registered, all of them would be sent to the branch arena under his command!

After another two or three matches, he would be able to break through his current Soul Power Level!

Neuvillette was somewhat upset. Two leeks had gotten away!

As his mood changed, the sunny sky abruptly shifted from clear to cloudy, as though it were about to rain.

Even Focalors was speechless. Anyone who did not know better would think Neuvillette was sad over the girls' departure, but she knew the truth!

This crybaby was actually upset because his "leeks" had run away!

Was that really necessary?

Couldn't he just wait a few hundred years?

He was a dragon! His lifespan was endless!

What did a few hundred years matter?

If the "leeks" were gone, he could simply find new ones!

Besides, what exactly was he working so hard to improve his strength for?

She could not understand it.

Before long, a light rain began to fall from the sky. Pedestrians hurried to shelter from it. Who knew why it was raining on such a bright, sunny day!

An old man selling umbrellas, however, was overjoyed. He had thought he would not sell a single umbrella today, but what happened?

The rain had come at exactly the right time!

Neuvillette did not avoid the rain. If he had a choice, he would rather live somewhere with water.

He slightly raised his right hand and gently brushed the rainwater beside him, letting it slide across his fingertips.

"This rain is born in the heavens and dies upon the earth. The journey in between is life."

"Water turns into vapor and rises to the heavens, gathering little by little before falling back to the earth... beginning another cycle."

"The unchanging Douluo Continent should undergo some changes..."

Neuvillette murmured to himself. Having come to the Douluo Continent as Fontaine's Chief Justice, he ought to bring absolute fairness and justice to its people!

However, his current strength was still insufficient to overturn the entire continent. He needed time to build himself up.

"Tide, await my return!"
