Liu Feng opened his eyes, only to find himself above a vast blue sea.
He floated in midair. Not far away, a blue-haired man stood with his back to him, his figure tall and straight, his presence as unfathomable as an abyss.
His heart gave a sudden lurch.
Sea God Tang San!!!
Why had he appeared in his Sea of Consciousness?!
Wasn't the Divine Realm strictly forbidden from interfering with the lower realm?
Could it be because the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had killed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?
Liu Feng's heart burned with anxiety. He was truly afraid that Sea God Tang San would attack his Ferocious Beast family.
In this age, Sea God Tang San was without a doubt the "ruler" of Douluo Continent!
"Vile and unruly! The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was blessed by heaven and earth, favored by fortune, and had achieved a million years of cultivation, yet you put him to death? How unjust!"
Sea God Tang San rebuked him coldly, looking down from on high.
Although he released not the slightest pressure, Liu Feng could still feel a trace of his presence.
This was the God King who had looked down upon Douluo Continent for ten thousand years!
He was no longer the Little Scumbag from ten thousand years ago!
Liu Feng drew in a soft breath, and could "smell" the other man's aura.
He wasn't about to be so frightened that he'd drop to his knees and beg for mercy.
But the moment he caught that scent, he realized something was wrong!
The Sea God Tang San before him was undoubtedly the real deal, not some nightmare of his.
Yet there was not a trace of power behind him!
He was nothing more than a thought!
The Sprite Dragon didn't even need to warn Liu Feng.
That meant Sea God Tang San was still wary of the Divine Realm's rules and hadn't interfered with the lower realm!
"I originally intended to destroy you all on the spot, but I pity the innocent young one. Surrounded by Ferocious Beasts, you were bound to pick up some of their wildness!"
"If you can be taught and corrected, then perhaps..."
Sea God Tang San spoke from on high, still with his back turned.
But Liu Feng couldn't wait any longer. The Purple Star Spirit Bow appeared in his hand.
"Whoosh...!"
A purple arrow shot toward him.
In an instant, it tore through Sea God Tang San's body and passed straight through.
"!!!"
Sea God Tang San immediately turned around. His figure had faded considerably, and his face bore a trace of surprise.
After such an impressive entrance, this little brat actually dared to attack him?
"You've clearly gotten used to living among birds and beasts! You're utterly unruly!"
"I am Sea God Tang San!"
His voice boomed, sending ripples billowing in every direction.
Sea God Tang San's face darkened.
"..."
Liu Feng paused. The blow he'd expected never came.
As he'd thought, the Sea God Tang San before him was only a divine thought!
Then he wasn't going to hold back!
Sea God Tang San was a big shot, after all. Surely he wasn't going to hold a grudge against a child?
"Whoosh...!"
Liu Feng fired another arrow, blowing Sea God Tang San's head apart.
His body grew even more illusory, then re-formed, but it looked as though he couldn't withstand another arrow.
He couldn't afford to keep up appearances. Sending a divine thought down to the lower realm had already been difficult. Besides, he still needed to preserve his true self for other preparations!
"Stop! You child! Don't you believe me?!"
Sea God Tang San was furious and humiliated.
In ten thousand years, only the Destruction God King had ever managed to get under his skin.
Liu Feng was absolutely the second!
"You say you're Sea God Tang San? I don't believe you! If you really are, why can't you even beat me?"
Liu Feng let out a cold laugh and drew his bow again.
"!!!"
Sea God Tang San was practically numb with shock.
If he dared to use his divine power in the lower realm, the Destruction God King would arrive the very first moment!
Then there'd be a risk of exposing some of the contingencies he'd laid in Douluo Continent.
"That's because..."
He tried to speak again.
"Whoosh...!"
Liu Feng had already fired another arrow!
It pierced straight through Sea God Tang San's chest, and his body vanished completely.
This divine thought had been utterly spent.
Watching it happen, Liu Feng let out a breath of relief. The feeling of being watched briefly disappeared.
He gradually relaxed and began returning to the real world.
By then, it was already the middle of the night.
He had turned back into a teenager, lying in bed, his body burning hot!
On either side of him were soft, fragrant bodies.
And on top of him was a huge, furry ball of fire, warm to the touch.
"So heavy...!"
Liu Feng almost couldn't breathe. He pushed the furry ball off him and onto his right side, which was Zi JI.
"Mmm..." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion grunted twice, but didn't wake up.
Liu Feng carefully removed the arm wrapped around his neck and set it aside.
As for the thigh pinning him down—he had no idea whose it was. He'd only just pushed it away when it draped over him again!
"Ah..."
Liu Feng felt helpless. He shouldn't have let Zi JI climb into bed!
"Xiao Feng, you're awake?"
Bi Ji's voice was gentle as she softly stroked Liu Feng's cheek.
Liu Feng murmured in response, about to tell her what had happened with Sea God Tang San.
Then he suddenly closed his mouth.
Should he tell her?
Other than making Bi Ji and the others panic, what good would it do?
Since Sea God Tang San had been able to scheme against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he probably already knew about Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts!
Perhaps they had been part of his plan all along.
The gap in strength and status between them was too great. Telling them would only add to their worries, without doing any good.
As for the Silver Dragon King, hiding somewhere unknown, she had no power to fight back right now either.
He'd keep this secret to himself.
If one day he could become a god, strong enough to surpass Sea God Tang San, perhaps then he could truly protect the Ferocious Beasts.
"Xiao Feng, did you have a nightmare?"
Bi Ji asked with concern.
Liu Feng shook his head, reached forward, and crawled into Bi Ji's arms.
"I'm afraid Big Sister Bi Ji will leave..."
Bi Ji's body stiffened. Liu Feng no longer had the body of a six-year-old child.
Hearing his words, she smiled softly and patted his back.
"Good boy. Big Sister Bi Ji won't leave..."
Before long, Liu Feng had fallen asleep again.
As Bi Ji kept patting him, she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Why had Liu Feng's back grown thicker?
She propped herself up to look, and her face turned green.
That vixen Zi JI had snuggled up against him!
She'd ended up lulling Zi JI to sleep!
That woman was restless even in her sleep—and was she drooling?
Early the next morning.
"Roar...!!!"
A hearty tiger's roar rang out.
Liu Feng climbed down from the treehouse and saw the Scorpion Tiger excitedly rushing over, its tail wagging like a propeller.
The Scorpion Tiger's aura had grown much stronger. It seemed to have seven or eight thousand years of cultivation!
"Roar...!"
The Scorpion Tiger came over and rubbed its enormous head against Liu Feng.
As Liu Feng placated it, he looked toward the several Ferocious Beasts facing off nearby, all bristling for a fight.
They were about to start fighting again. They had reverted to their true forms and were glaring at one another.
Xiong Jun thumped his broad chest and roared:
"I'll be Liu Feng's first teacher! I can teach him how to tear heaven and earth apart! Even dragon scales are as fragile as tree bark under my claws!"
At that, Zi JI immediately launched into a furious tirade. "You blind bear, what are you being so arrogant for?!"
"The dragon race has an abundance of Soul Skills and a wealth of knowledge. If I'm the first to teach Little Liu Feng, I can give him..."
Ten Thousand Demon King interrupted in a low voice. "The dragon race is lustful. You should be last."
"Roar...!!!"
Zi JI immediately spat out a stream of black flames, scorching Ten Thousand Demon King's massive tree trunk as black smoke billowed.
In an instant, the Ferocious Beasts all started fighting. A full-blown melee erupted, shaking the ground and sending dust flying.
"???"
Liu Feng's scalp prickled. What was going on now?
All the Scorpion Tiger's earlier pride vanished. It tucked its tail between its legs, looking glum as it stood in front of Liu Feng.
It had grown stronger, but somehow, nothing had really changed.
