Chicken Scattered, Eggs Smashed

Ao Canghai looked at Ao Changge and Zhu Meiyu, his tone unfriendly. "You two must know what this kid did, right?"

How was it handled?

Ao Changge's expression changed, and he was speechless.

Zhu Meiyu lowered her head and dared not utter a word.

The two now regret their actions, as things have already taken a turn for the better.

If it weren't for my own volatile temper and my single-minded desire to avenge my son and clansmen, things wouldn't have escalated to this point, my eldest son wouldn't have died, and Ao Changge wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Even after bringing out the patriarch, they still had to bow their heads, admit their mistakes, and apologize.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have done it in the first place.

There's no going back in life!

Ao Canghai knew from their expressions that the fault lay with him, and that the two of them were behind the scenes, or even that woman was stirring up trouble.

He already disliked this woman, and now he hated her to the core.

If it weren't for the fact that she had given birth to several sons for the Ao Family, they would have slapped her into mincemeat long ago.

The battlefield, ravaged by the violent Spiritual Power, was a scene of utter devastation.

The crowd gathered in twos and threes, talking about something.

"Oh dear, Eldest Brother, why have they stopped fighting? This is no longer a good show!"

Ao Shanshan's clear, bell-like voice rang out, carrying a hint of childish coquettishness and dissatisfaction.

A pair of big eyes stared regretfully at Ao Canghai and Long Sangai, who had just stopped fighting. Chu Ben's rosy cheeks, which had been flushed with excitement, now drooped slightly.

Hua Qiang smiled helplessly, reached out and gently pinched Ao Shanshan's nose, his face full of doting affection. "You like watching the show that much?"

He looked at the quirky little girl in front of him, his heart filled with affection.

In this Dragon Domain filled with strife and danger, Ao Shanshan's innocence and liveliness are like a ray of warm sunshine.

"Hehehe, it's not that I like it, I'm just bored."

Ao Shanshan blinked her big, watery eyes and said slyly, "Sister won't let Shanshan fight with anyone. Watching people fight can help pass the time, right?"

Moreover, these people fought brilliantly and interestingly.

As she spoke, she enthusiastically demonstrated the amazing moves she had just made in the battle, her little face beaming with excitement.

She was incredibly excited when she was acting as an "off-field coach" earlier, pointing and gesturing excitedly everywhere.

The battle suddenly ended, and she still felt unsatisfied, as if she hadn't had enough.

Long Mo'er stood not far away and heard the conversation between the two. In particular, seeing Ao Shanshan's precocious and mischievous appearance, which seemed innocent but was like a little devil who liked to cause trouble, she couldn't help but chuckle.

At that moment, she felt relaxed and happy.

These days in the Dragon Domain, as the emperor's goddaughter, she is always bound by various rules and etiquette, and it is rare to have such a relaxed moment.

Long Ritian was still paying attention to the situation on the battlefield when he caught a glimpse of Long Mo'er out of the corner of his eye, and he was greatly surprised.

Ever since the Emperor recognized this goddaughter, he had never seen his god-sister so happy. She always had a detached and somewhat distant demeanor.

What's wrong today?

His gaze darted back and forth between Long Mo'er and Hua Qiang, a vague guess forming in his mind: could it be because of the man in front of him?

Long Ritian scrutinized Hua Qiang closely, and the more he looked, the more unfathomable the man seemed.

The two might be old acquaintances, or they might even be from the same place.

In other words, this man also came from the Lower Realm?

To be able to ascend from the Lower Realm at such a young age and even enter the Dragon Domain must be extraordinary.

Furthermore, the fact that he couldn't even see the opponent's cultivation level made Long Ritian very uncomfortable.

In his mind, the unknown is the most dangerous thing!

Especially in this Dragon Domain where the strong are respected, any potential threat must be treated with caution.

At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Ao Changge and his wife, along with Ao Qingshu, walked over slowly with reluctance under the supervision of Ao Canghai.

Ao Changge's face was filled with resentment. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, but under Ao Canghai's majestic gaze, he dared not disobey in the slightest.

Ao Qingshu lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, his heart filled with remorse. If he hadn't been so reckless, his Lineage wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

I need to watch my mouth more and my little brother more from now on!

This was a truly painful lesson!

As the man walked up to Long Ritian, Ao Changge took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. He cupped his hands in greeting, his voice low and tinged with helplessness.

"Fifth Prince, I was unaware of your identity before, and I have offended you greatly!"

"What happened today was an offense committed by members of the Ao Family; we hope for your forgiveness."

As he spoke, he, his wife Zhu Meiyu, and his son Ao Qingshu bowed deeply in apology, their movements stiff and slow, each action as if they were cutting off their own dignity.

"I beg the Fifth Prince to show mercy and spare the Ao Family this time."

Ao Canghai's voice also rang out from the side. Although it remained calm, the bitterness and helplessness in it were clearly audible.

Although the Ao Family has some strength in the Dragon Domain, it is ultimately too insignificant compared to the Imperial Family.

Finally, Ao Canghai waved his hand, and his Storage Ring shone brightly, revealing 1 million top-grade Spirit Stone neatly suspended in the air, radiating an alluring luster.

"This is a small token of our appreciation from the Ao Family. We hope the Fifth Prince accept it as an apology."

Ao Canghai said, his eyes filled with heartache and resentment.

These top-grade Spirit Stone represent the accumulated wealth of the Ao Family over many years, and now they are about to be given away. How can this not break one's heart?

Looking at the scene before him, Long Ritian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

With a wave of his hand, those top-grade Spirit Stone instantly disappeared from their original location and fell into his storage space.

"Since the Ao Family is so sensible, let's leave it at that for today."

He said it casually, his tone carrying an air of superiority, arrogance, and disdain.

Ao Qingshu looked left and right, but never glanced at the sedan chair carrying the bride, nor at her red dress.

I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Seeing Long Ritian hesitate for a moment, but still Wen Dao, "Fifth Prince, where is my wife right now?"

When he was detained, his wife was not imprisoned with him.

At this moment, he and his companions were free again, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace of his bride's sedan chair, which made him nervous.

"Oh... well..."

Long Ritian stroked his chin, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Your wife despises you. She thinks you are not a good match for her and has already returned to her parents' home!"

"However, she asked me to pass on a message to you before she left."

She never wants to see you again in this lifetime, and she hopes you won't go looking for her again, otherwise you'll only be humiliating yourself!
