"Fatty...!"
The smile disappeared from Gu Ya Zun's face when he heard the woman in front of him.
As one of the nine regents of the Sea Monster Kingdom and a senior scholar of ancient civilizations, Gu Ya Zun was rarely treated with such disrespect.
Especially in the Sea Monster Kingdom, most sea monsters had robust, well-proportioned builds. Even those in high positions were rarely plump.
Thus, Gu Ya Zun's physique had always been a sore spot for him.
After Lin Yu's sudden, direct attack, even Gu Ya Zun, whose composure was considered excellent among the sea monsters and whose scheming ran deep, failed to keep his emotions completely in check. Obvious malice surfaced in his expression.
But that malice lasted only an instant before he suppressed it.
"Heh heh, I'd still prefer it if you called me by my name," Gu Ya Zun said with another smile. "Although you hail from the Middle Sea, this is, after all, the Sea Monster Kingdom. Here, when people have just met, they usually address each other by name."
Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded. "All right, then I'll use a different form of address. Dead pig."
"Pfft."
April, standing nearby, could not help bursting into laughter.
Gu Ya Zun's expression turned even more unpleasant. "The two of you are being rather impolite. Even if you are from the Middle Sea..."
"Bang!"
Gu Ya Zun had not even finished his harsh words when he was interrupted.
The one interrupting him was the door, which suddenly slammed shut.
Standing outside, Gu Ya Zun's fury instantly reached its peak after being treated this way.
Yet after reaching the height of his anger, he did not lash out.
The next moment, Gu Ya Zun instead calmed down.
"Wait... Could it be that these two have noticed something?"
