Dirty-Minded Adults!

Moreover, to keep the rate at which his Soul Power Level increased "normal," his father had decreed that before becoming a Soul King, he was not to train his soul power too excessively!

Therefore, from the time his martial soul awakened until now, nearly twelve years later, compared to meditating to cultivate soul power, his father had placed greater emphasis on combat training and physical conditioning!

Thus, as of noon today, before the Heavenly Dao Rankings were announced, Yu Bai—who was about to turn twelve—was only Level 27 in soul power! The same level as Zhu Zhuqing, who was his age and had only seven levels of Innate Soul Power!

Of course, in actual combat, even if ten Zhu Zhuqings attacked together, they might not necessarily be able to defeat Yu Bai!

But even so, his father had still decreed that aside from training with him at home, Yu Bai was not allowed to use more than seventy percent of his strength in any other battle, including academy sparring and Great Soul Arena matches!

In his father's words, one must always keep some hidden cards that others did not know about! Only then could one live more safely!

...And that was only the tip of the iceberg!

At the scene, who would have thought that after Yu Bai finished speaking, the two burly men, Yu Fan and Shi Kuan, exchanged a glance before looking at Yu Bai and speaking in unison, "Is that even a problem? Go find your wife!"

"Your wife is a Dou Emperor powerhouse. Who would dare touch you? Then your mother and I—Auntie Xie—can also enjoy our retirement in peace!"

Hearing the two of them, Yu Bai's mouth twitched hard! Then his expression became agitated as he said, "But! But do you know who she is? What if you knew what her current situation was?"

"You all know that to inherit her previous life's cultivation, she must at least be a Soul Saint!"

"And across the entire continent, those who generally reach the Soul Saint level are at least over forty!"

"What if she's a Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo? Wouldn't that make her sixty or seventy years old?!"

"A wife like that would be old enough to be your mother, Dad! Could you really call her 'daughter-in-law' with a clear conscience?!"

As he said this, Yu Bai was so worked up that he even waved his arms and gestured wildly, as though describing something before his eyes!

"Hmph!"

Yet the instant his words fell, Yu Bai suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body. He seemed to vaguely hear a woman's teeth-gritting snort!

He scratched his head in confusion, then glanced toward his mother and Auntie Xie behind him. Seeing that they were still putting on their tearful act, he withdrew his gaze. He then looked at his father and Uncle Shi in front of him, and seeing that neither showed anything unusual, he finally relaxed and muttered softly to himself, "I was probably scared by the image I described myself, so I hallucinated."

With that thought, Yu Bai no longer took it seriously and tossed it to the back of his mind. He had no idea that at that very moment, inside the Pope's bedchamber in Spirit Hall, someone was gritting her silver teeth and wishing she could give someone a vicious beating!

Inside the main hall of Yu Manor, After Yu Bai finished speaking, he looked hopefully at the two people across from him, hoping they would change their minds!

However, Yu Fan's next words immediately shattered Yu Bai's expectations.

Yu Fan casually waved a hand and said, "What does that matter? For us cultivators, the stronger we are, the longer we live!"

"Titled Douluo can live for three hundred years, while Level 99 Titled Douluo can live for a thousand! Not to mention a Dou Emperor powerhouse like her!"

"Experts like that can practically maintain their youthful appearance forever!"

As he spoke, Yu Fan crossed his hands atop the table, rested his chin on the backs of his hands, and stared at Yu Bai across from him as he persuaded, "So, son, for the happy and peaceful lives of both our families in the future, you should hurry up and find your wife!"

At some point, Yu Bai's mother Luo Ling and Little Fatty's mother Xie Rou had also sat across the table. The four of them nodded together in perfect tacit agreement, then looked at Yu Bai with eager anticipation!

Seeing this, Yu Bai could not help widening his eyes. His lips trembled as he said, "You... how could you use mouths that are thirty-seven degrees warm to say something so chilling?!"

Yet the four people across from him remained unmoved. Even Little Fatty, who had been gnawing on a chicken drumstick the entire time, had somehow appeared behind them!

Then they all looked at him eagerly!

"Buzz!"

Yu Bai felt his mind buzz, then shouted indignantly, "That's enough!"

"Can't you really try to imagine things from my perspective?!"

"What if! What if she's a cylindrical person who's one meter wide and one meter tall?

What if she's an old granny like the one next door who sells candied hawthorns?

What if she, she... ow!"

Yu Bai had no idea that, a thousand miles away in Spirit Hall's Pope's bedchamber, Someone's face had turned red with fury!

With every sentence Yu Bai spoke, the temperature around her dropped by several degrees!

Until she saw that this fellow seemed intent on endlessly smearing her image, she finally could no longer contain her temper and cursed viciously, "Bastard! Damn little thief! Detestable bastard..."

As she cursed, a sharp glint flashed through her beautiful eyes. Then she raised her right hand and slapped down at the empty air before her as though swatting a fly!

Yu Manor, main hall.

Just as they were talking, one of the chair legs beneath Yu Bai suddenly snapped for no apparent reason, sending him sprawling to the floor. And in the process—

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out! Then, mixed with the chair's collapsing crash, the sound of his fall, and the thud of Yu Bai's body hitting the ground, it formed a chaotic "symphony"!

Yet at that moment, sharp glints flashed in the eyes of the four people across the table. They exchanged looks, seeming to confirm something with one another, before all nodding subtly in unison. The worry deep in their eyes vanished completely, and faint smiles even appeared at the corners of their mouths!

At the side, the dumbfounded Little Fatty took in the entire scene. Though he did not understand what these four adults were doing, that did not stop him from realizing that Little Bai had been jointly set up by them!

Unable to help himself, Little Fatty shuddered before taking another bite of chicken leg. He chewed mechanically as he thought to himself, "Are adults really this terrifying?!"

"Their hearts are truly filthy!"

"Still, thankfully, Little Bai was the one being schemed against this time, not Fatty!"

Thinking this, Little Fatty could not help casting a sympathetic look at Yu Bai, who was still lying on the floor across the table with stars in his eyes!

Under the table, the dazed Yu Bai raised a hand and removed half a chair leg that was pressing against his head. After seeing what it was, he tossed it away and muttered inwardly, "No wonder my head hurts a little. I got hit by half a chair leg!"

Rubbing his slightly reddened head, Yu Bai got to his feet and walked toward his room. He could not even be bothered to look at the four detestable adults behind him, and he grumbled inwardly, "I must have been out of my mind! I actually thought I'd hear some way for them to solve the current predicament!"

"A bunch of unreliable, backstabbing parents, uncles, and aunts!"

"Looks like I'll have to think of a way myself!"
