Chen Yue Sighed. "I Have No Idea Whether Becoming a Live-in Son-in-law Was a Loss or a Gain!"
"Shouldn't we have someone keep watch?"
"Let's just stay here and wait. What's the problem?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was unconcerned. "When we go back, we'll say there was a new discovery in Skywater City, so we stayed a while longer!"
"Fair enough!"
After thinking it over, Ghost Douluo also found it reasonable. He did not object and simply nodded.
The two figures gradually vanished into the night sky.
"Ah..."
Chen Yue wandered aimlessly around all of Skywater City before finally letting out a long sigh and returning to the residence. "I have no idea whether this whole live-in son-in-law arrangement was a loss or a gain!"
He had thought that being recruited as a son-in-law would mean having countless wives and concubines. After all, they needed him to leave behind offspring. But who told him to marry the third family head of the Gu family?
Still, it could not exactly be called a bad outcome, could it?
According to Gu Qingbo, Gu Qinghan's Innate Soul Power was at least rank nine. Unfortunately, the System could only verify it and issue rewards after the children were born.
After three days and three nights of battle, Chen Yue knew that Gu Qinghan's legs would probably go weak at the sight of him. Besides, she had already reached her limit for how many children she could carry—quadruplets... So if he wanted to grow stronger faster and did not want to waste time, he could only... find someone else!
Easy to say, hard to do!
He was a live-in son-in-law of the Gu Family, and the man of the third family head of the Gu family. Damn it, which junior of the Gu Family would dare steal a man from the family head?
So this was what it felt like to live under someone else's roof...
"Ugh!"
The thought had barely flashed through Chen Yue's mind when his head suddenly went blank from behind!
Fuck, someone had knocked him out?!
That was Chen Yue's first thought before he lost consciousness!
Thud!
Then his body crashed heavily to the ground, and he passed out.
In his daze, he heard a voice. "Hey, Erlong, will this... really work?"
"What's not going to work? Flander, let me tell you, if Master Chen hadn't given you some pointers back then, you might still be a Four-eyed Owl!"
"Uh... my wife is right to scold me. It's all that damned Yu Xiaogang's fault, spouting that incomprehensible bullshit theory and causing me..."
"Stop talking and shut up! Go keep watch!"
Then Chen Yue felt that familiar, indescribable sensation—Though yellow sands have seen a hundred battles, golden armor worn through; I shall not return until Loulan is broken.
Chen Yue's literary talent was simply too poor. He could only borrow ancient poems and verses he had memorized in his previous life to describe it.
At first, it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass.
After walking several dozen steps, everything suddenly opened up.
There was "land," broad and level, with "orderly houses" upon it.
And at that moment!
Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had just set out to knock him unconscious, froze in place. They stared at each other, utterly baffled. How could someone intercept them while they were knocking someone out?
"Old Ghost, what's going on?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? This... in broad daylight, beneath the forest underbrush, someone actually dared assault an innocent live-in son-in-law..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo promptly flicked him on the forehead. "Shut up. Did you see that woman's head sticking out?"
"I did. Isn't she... huh, wait. Isn't that woman the one who was beside that idiot Master Chen completely crushed back then? I remember she was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"She and that idiot were both from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... I remember Master Chen gave her and that guy with the Four-eyed Owl martial soul some pointers back then. But as for that Yu Yuanzhen's discarded son who got roasted into a fool's cap, I really don't know..."
