The Eve of the Storm

Two moves!

With just two moves—and without even using a single Soul Skill—Leng Wuduan had beaten a veteran Super Douluo to a pulp, leaving him utterly helpless!

The entire venue fell silent once more. Was this talent even more heaven-defying than Yun Ming's?

Today, they had been lucky enough to witness a true genius—a peerless prodigy who had already come into his own!

Su Jiu paid no mind to Cai Yue'er, who was still baring her teeth. He had already taught her the lesson she deserved. Now he represented the Leng Family, so there was a limit to how far he could go. Making an enemy of the Leng Family would hardly be worth it!

Besides, living Shrek's Little Yue was far more valuable than a dead one...

Of course, if Cai Yue'er didn't appreciate Su Jiu's restraint, he wouldn't mind using Flame Demon Roar afterward to treat her to a full-scale attack!

"Next time you see my Yao Zhu, remember to keep your head down. I'm sure Dean Cai knows exactly how one ought to treat the strong, right?"

Leaving those words behind, Su Jiu stepped down from the arena first, then returned to the wedding venue with Leng Yaozhu.

Qiangu Dongfeng watched the two of them walk away, arm in arm, and, like Cai Yue'er, grew red-eyed and began panting like an ox!

It was supposed to be him—him, with Leng Yaozhu's arm around him! What gave this young brat the right?

Just as killing intent began to rise in Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes, a hand, ridged with bulging veins and calluses layered like rock, landed on his shoulder. A surge of familiar, forceful fatherly love washed over him, instantly dispelling his murderous intent.

"Dongfeng, don't do anything that would undermine unity within the Spirit Pagoda. I want to see the grand occasion of one Pagoda and four Limit Douluos, with the greatest figure on the continent in this generation all belonging to our Spirit Pagoda!"

"Forget about Yaozhu. You've been pursuing her for most of your life. It's time you let it go!"

Qiangu Dongfeng's hair stood on end. He knew very well that his father wasn't informing him. He was warning him!

"I understand, Father..."

Qiangu Dongfeng said he would obey Qiangu Dieyan, but when he took one last look at Leng Yaozhu's back—the sight that haunted his dreams—his desire to possess her only grew stronger!

This was the obsession he'd held for most of his life. How could he just give it up?

"Old Su, why are you taking my shrimp tail? A-Jiu peeled it for me! If you want some, go eat the shrimp heads! Hmph!"

Na'er snatched the Ruby Shrimp Tail from Su Jiu's hand and guarded it behind her like a mother hen protecting her food, glaring at him.

"Na'er, why don't we give Old Su one? He did bring us here, after all. It wouldn't be nice to hurt his feelings..."

"Mm—alright..."

A-Jiu's words made Na'er relent without hesitation. After all, A-Jiu had a point.

If they upset Old Su, he might not bring them to another wonderful place where they could eat and drink for free. They had to make sure he felt appreciated.

"Here, Old Su, Sister Leng! These are really tasty. Na'er tried them herself!"

So she picked out the smallest one for Su Jiu and gave Leng Yaozhu a big one. The family of three grinned happily.

Su Jiu pinched Na'er's cheek. It felt wonderfully soft, and he said with a smile,

"Looks like you've got a little conscience after all, you ungrateful little brat."

"Hey, Old Su! I won't stand for that! You ate the shrimp tail too, so how can you call Na'er an ungrateful little brat? That's so mean!"

Na'er slapped Su Jiu's hand away and angrily bumped her little head against his stomach, venting her frustration.

Even Na'er, who was usually shy and reserved, couldn't understand why, after spending a few days with Su Jiu, the two of them had ended up acting like this.

Around him, she was instead so open and at ease, without the slightest reservation.

But Na'er actually liked their relationship this way. She didn't feel constrained at all and could let her personality run free.

"You little glutton, still eating? Come on, I'll show you what a future child bride is supposed to do~"

Su Jiu's words made Na'er pause mid-bite. As the holder of the Dragon God's World-Shocking Wisdom, she wasn't just interested in food—she also had a "strong" desire to learn new things. She wanted to know what being a child bride was all about!

But, but the huge shrimp in front of her...

"Na'er, A-Jiu will save it for you. You can eat it later..."

"Hehe~ A-Jiu, you're the best!"

At noon, the auspicious hour arrived!

The elegant music in the wedding hall suddenly shifted, becoming stately and festive. Two enormous statues of the first and second Sea Gods stood on either side, lifelike, as if watching over the people below whom they loved so deeply. A crimson pathway stretched across the hall, whose decorations were predominantly blue, gold, and white, making it stand out strikingly.

The guests' chatter died away, and the hall fell quiet. Just then, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked onto the stage. They were the hosts of the wedding.

The man was Chen Zeyu. The woman beside him had long gray-blue hair that reached the floor, with eyes of the same hue. Her skin was fair, touched with a faint blue-white sheen. She had ears like an elf's, blue ripples on her cheeks, and clothing decorated with fish scales, bubbles, and other oceanic motifs.

Primitive and untamed, with the fresh air of the ocean—that was Su Jiu's first impression!

She was none other than the Sea God's mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai!

Su Jiu hadn't expected the Sea God Family to find this venerable ancestor. Sure enough, having an Ultimate quasi-god in the family gave one quite a bit of clout.

"The auspicious hour has arrived! Please welcome the bride and groom!"

At Chen Zeyu's command, the band's music changed again, and the doors opened.

Surrounded by a crowd of flower girls and boys, the stars of the wedding made their entrance. They were the handsome young Chen Xinjie, who looked to be in his twenties, and Long Yeyue, who had "reclaimed her eighteen-year-old youth." Both wore faintly blissful smiles, and Chen Xinjie kept glancing at Long Yeyue in her gorgeous white wedding dress.

Hehe~ My Yeyue is so beautiful today!

"Na'er, since you want to know what a child bride is, I'll tell you."

"Old Su, hurry up and tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. You and I are practically family..."

"Pfft~"

Leng Yaozhu couldn't help covering her mouth as she chuckled. Her little sister was still too innocent. She could already picture the look on Na'er's face when she got tricked.

"See the woman in the wedding dress? When you grow up, you'll wear your favorite wedding dress just like her and marry me. That's what being a child bride means!"

Na'er: Huh???

Me, marry Old Su? Is he kidding?

Na'er instantly bristled, switching straight into Spine-Back Dragon mode. She clearly regretted finding out what a child bride meant. It would've been better not to know!

She'd been had!

Guys, can I still get off this ship?

At the thought, tears welled up in Na'er's eyes. Her little face looked so pitiful that she seemed on the verge of bursting into tears.

"Na'er, think about it. Old Su said when you grow up, but your agreement only lasts three years. In three years, you'll still be under nine!"

At A-Jiu's words, Na'er instantly perked up again. A-Jiu truly deserved to be Na'er's strategist. His mind worked so fast!

"You little crybaby, not crying anymore?"

Su Jiu gently wiped away the tears at the corners of Na'er's eyes, but a mischievous smile still tugged at his lips.

"Hmph! Old Su, you're bad! A big meanie!"

"You're always picking on Na'er. Na'er isn't talking to you anymore!"

Na'er wasn't having it. She turned away, jumped out of Su Jiu's arms, and settled into Leng Yaozhu's.
