Dragon God Claw

"You! You! You!"

"She! She! She!"

Gu Yue pointed at Lan Xuanyu, her gaze shifting between Lan Xuanyu and the identical rainbow bangs she shared with Ji Fengyu. She was so angry her hand trembled.

She never would have expected this!

The one who looked least threatening, Lan Xuanyu, was actually the most devious!

The real top enemy!

She had worked so hard to deal with Tang Wulin and the others, like Lu Bu fighting three heroes, only for Lan Xuanyu to sneak in and steal her home!

While the snipe and the clam fought, the fisherman profited?

Someone had actually dared to snatch the Silver Dragon King's peach!

Gu Yue was so furious she nearly lost control and went berserk on the spot. But the combined bloodline pressure from Ji Fengyu and Lan Xuanyu brought her back to her senses.

No.

One was her beloved wife, and the other was the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure, the Ascending Dragon Pillar. She couldn't act rashly!

"What's wrong?"

Tang Wulin and the others were curious about why Gu Yue had lost her composure.

But when they saw Ji Fengyu's rainbow bangs,

they were stunned too.

What did she mean, the snipe and the clam had fought while Lan Xuanyu profited like a fisherman?

Huff, huff, huff-huff!

Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Na'er all flushed red at once, panting like oxen.

"Brother Ji, they're so scary."

"Isn't it dangerous for us Auxiliary Soul Masters to team up with people who can't control their emotions?"

"Can someone so impulsive really protect an Auxiliary Soul Master?"

Lan Xuanyu seemed frightened. She spoke to Ji Fengyu with some concern.

So cunning!

But the Ascending Dragon Pillar really did look delicious!

"Ahem, everyone, calm down. My hair changed color because it absorbed too much Rainbow Power. It happened on its own, and Xuanyu had nothing to do with it."

Ji Fengyu said it with a guilty conscience.

Oh!!!

It had nothing to do with her.

Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and the others looked enlightened. They believed him—yeah, right!

Could absorbing a rainbow dye your hair?

They weren't sure,

but could it really be that much of a coincidence? You expect them to believe those matching bangs were just a coincidence?

"Hmph!!!!!"

Gu Yue snorted coldly and directly summoned her elemental power.

Then...

Swish!

Her bangs turned rainbow-colored too!

Gu Yue might not have been as beautiful as Na'er or Lan Xuanyu, but she was every bit their equal in bearing.

Those rainbow bangs gave the ice-cold girl an incongruous, contrasting touch of childish innocence.

Fortunately, Gu Yue was still a child. That slight incongruity did her no harm.

"Oh dear, my elemental power got out of control, and my bangs just happened to turn rainbow-colored. What a coincidence, wouldn't you say?"

Gu Yue sneered as she stared defiantly at Lan Xuanyu.

It was just hair dye. Who couldn't do that?

What a coincidence.

"Uh..."

"Na'er?"

Tang Wulin looked at Na'er and spoke in a very quiet voice.

"I'm not dyeing mine, so don't you dye yours either, Brother."

Na'er answered decisively.

She'd learned her lesson. Gu Yue was arguing with Lan Xuanyu, so what business was it of theirs?

They might as well watch from the sidelines and let the snipe and the clam fight.

"You're copying me!"

Lan Xuanyu stomped her foot in annoyance, nearly swinging the Ascending Dragon Pillar at Gu Yue and giving her a couple of mighty smacks.

Gu Yue looked at Lan Xuanyu triumphantly.

They all had rainbow bangs now.

What made Lan Xuanyu so special?

She'd only sneaked a little hair dye onto Brother Ji while they were away. What did a despicable little schemer have to be so smug about?

"Gu Yue, I think you'd better keep your own style."

"I doubt my black hair is going to last."

"As I keep cultivating Rainbow Power, it'll probably all turn into a dazzling rainbow..."

Ji Fengyu really couldn't stand Gu Yue with those rainbow bangs.

Gu Yue looked better the way she'd been before.

And his bangs were only the beginning.

As his Rainbow Power improved, his whole head of black hair would probably turn into a riot of colors, like some flamboyant punk...

"Fine."

"Since Fengyu says so, I won't argue with you."

Gu Yue glared at Lan Xuanyu and restored her hair to normal, though she'd learned her lesson.

Lan Xuanyu was a sneaky one...

She looked like she didn't fight for anything, but she was the one who needed watching most!

"You won this time, but you won't keep winning."

Gu Yue stared at Lan Xuanyu.

She'd keep her eyes on that devious little schemer!

"Just wait and see."

Lan Xuanyu didn't take Gu Yue seriously at all. With the bond of the Ascending Dragon Pillar in her hands, her position as the legitimate wife was already unshakable!

"Ah."

Tang Wulin looked at Lan Xuanyu in silence.

He didn't want Gu Yue to win, or Lan Xuanyu to win. He didn't even want Na'er to win.

If there were only one kind of affection left in the world—brotherly love—

wouldn't that be wonderful?

"All right, if there's nothing else, let's break up."

"I still have things to do."

After Ji Fengyu spoke, he didn't give the others a chance to respond. He spread his wings and took off.

Once he left,

the Dragon Kings lost their urge to show off and court him. They were back to finding one another irritating, and scattered in a blink.

But from then on, the others learned their lesson. They wouldn't give anyone the chance to be alone with Ji Fengyu.

To keep anyone from sneaking in and stealing him away!

But...

"Why do I feel like I want to call her Mom?"

Gu Yue sat cross-legged behind Lan Xuanyu, a strange and embarrassing feeling rising in her heart.

The Dragon Clan Squad was cultivating with the help of the Ascending Dragon Pillar.

Ji Fengyu was the absolute hub.

He and Tang Wulin circulated Golden Wind Power; with Gu Yue, he circulated Silver Wind Power; with Na'er, White Wind Power; and with Lan Xuanyu, Nine-Colored Power...

Though their powers were opposed to one another, after Ji Fengyu harmonized them, they instead complemented each other, flowing ceaselessly.

There was no problem with that.

As the heart of the Dragon Clan Squad, Ji Fengyu had no one's objections.

But Lan Xuanyu was strange.

Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Na'er all felt a faint, imposing pressure from the Ascending Dragon Pillar.

It felt like a mother.

A mother?

Lan Xuanyu?

What nonsense!

The absurd, bizarre feeling made them uncomfortable, but they couldn't exactly share it with anyone else. They could only keep it to themselves.

Dragon God: Heh heh heh, children, you really should call her Mom!

"The Ascending Dragon Pillar?!"

"The Golden Dragon King!"

"My Lord, there's another My Lord!"

Di Tian stared at the scene in secret, dumbfounded.

This was way too chaotic!

And yet, this was almost the Dragon Clan's ultimate lineup.

Several My Lords who seemed to be at odds with one another could bring their powers together with the Madam keeping them in line.

The Dragon Clan's revival was in sight!

"Go, Madam!"

Di Tian quietly passed his Dragon God Claw to Ji Fengyu.

Ji Fengyu still hadn't realized that his Dark Gold Terror Claw now had the power to suppress all Beast Martial Souls!

While our Dragon Clan Squad was racking up points,

what was the Gemini Master doing?

"Lan Muzi, I order you to approach Wu Zhangkong and seize an opportunity to capture Ji Fengyu. Interrogate him until he tells me what's wrong with my Martial Soul!"

Long Yeyue summoned her nominal disciple, Lan Muzi, and gave him her order.

Lan Muzi's Martial Soul was the unique Yang Wood Blade.

He was Yun Ming's handpicked successor as the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

Long Yeyue refused to believe that even her prized disciple couldn't deal with Ji Fengyu!

"Capture Ji Fengyu?"

"Me?"

Lan Muzi pointed at himself, dumbfounded.

You mean,

the problem that had defeated even his teacher, a level-99 Limit Douluo, was his to handle?
