Yu Luomian Wants Yu Tianjiao as His Son-in-Law

On the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, Yu Tianjiao, dressed in a sharp black outfit, jumped down from the carriage.

Accompanying him on this trip to hunt magical beasts was the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianjiao's convenient uncle, Yu Luomian.

Taking a deep breath of the air, which carried a faint, musky scent of vegetation, Yu Tianjiao's eyes shimmered with excitement and anticipation.

Behind him, the burly and imposing Yu Luomian observed Yu Tianjiao's back with a meaningful gaze.

The fact that his little nephew had suddenly regained his talent and returned to level ten Soul Power in such a short time had truly taken him by surprise.

Although he knew his elder brother had indeed collected some immortal herbs over the years, refining those herbs usually required a significant amount of time.

At least in his view, less than a month was absolutely not enough.

However, this kid not only possessed an Innate Full Soul Power of level 20, but his martial soul, known as the Ancient Void Dragon, was actually capable of suppressing top-tier martial souls like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

Heaven bestowing such a child upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was undoubtedly the family's great fortune.

In the eyes of both him and his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen, the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan rested upon Yu Tianjiao.

To put it bluntly, both of them actually hoped that Yu Tianjiao would unite with a woman in the clan who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul; in this way, they might be able to refine and strengthen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, and subsequently, have Yu Tianjiao's children follow the same path.

Over time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would surely be able to stand truly at the pinnacle of the continent by virtue of that powerful martial soul.

It was just a pity that among the outstanding women in the clan, none of those the same age as Yu Tianjiao were worthy of him.

Fortunately, among their peers, there was indeed a relatively suitable choice.

His illegitimate daughter, Liu Erlong.

Originally, because of Liu Erlong's status, he had never dared to bring her back to the family.

It wasn't until Yu Tianjiao was adopted by Yu Yuanzhen that he used this as a pretext to allow Liu Erlong to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan under the guise of an adopted daughter.

Over these years, he—both as a father and an uncle—had seen with his own eyes how Liu Erlong cared for Yu Tianjiao and how their relationship had grown increasingly close.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with that; in fact, he really wanted to play matchmaker.

After all, compared to that good-for-nothing nephew who had once tricked his "cabbage," this nephew—who was talented, handsome, and conveniently had no blood relation—was much more to his liking.

Come to think of it, this was all thanks to his genius nephew; back then, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong had only been traveling the continent together, and their relationship hadn't developed into anything too intimate.

After he brought Liu Erlong back to the family, he realized his "little cabbage" seemed to be targeted by that trash who loved to live off women, so he quickly clarified the cousin relationship between the two.

Liu Erlong had indeed been attracted to Yu Xiaogang's "profound" knowledge at the time and didn't have a bad impression of him, but once she learned of his identity, she lost interest. Just then, seeing that cute, porcelain-like younger brother, she shifted her focus directly onto Yu Tianjiao.

However, Yu Tianjiao was still young at the time and had no idea that the situation between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang hadn't actually progressed as far as he thought. To this day, he still believed his dear sister had remained single for years because of his useless brother.

This misunderstanding existed only in his own mind, and naturally, no one else knew of it. From the perspective of an elder like Yu Luomian, he simply felt that the nominal siblings were still in a relatively proper relationship.

As an elder, he couldn't very well just tell the two children, "I think you two are a good match, why don't you consider it?"

Regardless, his daughter was indeed a bit older, and he worried that his nephew might look down on her.

Little did he know that his dear, genius little nephew was already planning to make a move on his eldest daughter.

"Second Uncle, I have to rely on you this time. I really can't beat a five-thousand-year-old sub-dragon magical beast on my own."

Yu Tianjiao didn't notice his uncle's deep gaze, but because he was naturally likable and because of Liu Erlong, his relationship with this uncle was indeed excellent, so he requested support without any hesitation.

"Tianjiao, are you sure you want a five-thousand-year-old one?"

Although they had already discussed the target for this soul beast hunt on the road, Yu Luomian was still worried about the safety of his nephew—and future son-in-law—so he hesitated before asking.

At these words, Yu Tianjiao just grinned and patted his chest, producing a dull thud:

"Don't worry, Second Uncle. You know my constitution, don't you? The foundation of a Soul Ancestor is still there. Besides, my martial soul is special; the fourth ring I absorbed back then was a six-thousand-year-old beast. I'm only being cautious this time because it's my first soul ring."

With that, he flicked his right hand, and the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon radiated outward, accompanied by a trace of ancient and overbearing pressure.

Feeling that pure and powerful dragon might, a flash of light appeared in Yu Luomian's eyes.

Every time he felt that pressure—which made even him, a level 79 Soul Saint, feel his martial soul being suppressed—he felt more and more satisfied with this heaven-sent nephew.

In reality, in his expectations, Yu Tianjiao could in some sense be considered Liu Erlong's child-husband.

It was just that this wasn't something to be said directly; he still hoped his daughter and little nephew could come together naturally.

That would be best for everyone.

As for that Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Hmph, a blind fool; she deserved to be dumped by his nephew!

If not for the fact that he couldn't beat Sword Douluo, he would have definitely fought him properly that day!

Now that his nephew had a request, he, as an uncle, had to get the job done for him no matter what.

"Alright, Second Uncle trusts you. But you must stay close; the outskirts of this Sunset Forest are not safe either."

After saying this, Yu Luomian shielded Yu Tianjiao behind him and took the lead, stepping into the dense jungle as if walking on flat ground.

Yu Tianjiao also composed himself and followed closely behind Yu Luomian.

His physical fitness was strong enough that he moved through the rugged forest with ease, his concentration high as he sensed the surrounding environment.

However, with Yu Luomian clearing the way, the outer area was almost completely unobstructed.

Half a day after entering the forest, the surrounding atmosphere began to change.

The air grew thick with the scent of damp earth and a hint of sulfur, and the trees thinned out, revealing vast stretches of exposed rocky ground.

"Stop!" Yu Luomian suddenly raised a hand, his gaze locked onto a jagged, craggy area ahead. "There's a big one, about five thousand years old. It looks like a Rock Dragon."

No sooner had he spoken than the ground ahead shook violently, and with a roar as muffled as rolling thunder, a colossal beast crawled out from a massive burrow.

It resembled a giant pangolin, but its body was covered in thick, dark-yellow rocky scales. Its four limbs were thick and powerful, its claws glinted with a metallic chill, and its tail was like a siege hammer.

A short, thick horn grew from its forehead, radiating a dense, earthy-yellow light, and a heavy, oppressive aura rushed toward them.
