"Then, let this Leng wish Sect Master Cao success in advance, and may all lovers eventually become spouses!"
Su Jiu smiled. He wasn't just looking forward to Cao Dezhi's successful gender swap; he was also sincerely wishing Zang Xin a fulfilling journey to the Universe Inquiry Valley!
The LED light swirling in the depths of the Phantom Night Wanderer's eyes was real and clear, not a facade.
It stung Cao Dezhi's eyes until they ached, and he subconsciously couldn't bear to look up and meet that gaze.
He could also see that those eyes were filled with heartfelt sincerity and heavy blessings.
"Haha, then I, Cao, shall accept the blessings of His Excellency Leng in advance..."
A smile tugged at the corners of Cao Dezhi's mouth, and a light ignited in his eyes as well.
That radiance was filled with happiness and an infinite longing for a beautiful life ahead, also not a facade.
Just then, Chen Xinjie 'happened' to pass by the door of Cao Dezhi's dormitory, and the laughter from inside reached his ears clearly.
Chen Xinjie was not pleased. His face darkened instantly, his brows furrowed tightly, and a surge of displeasure and anger welled up in his heart.
How could Leng Wuduan get along so harmoniously with someone from the Tang Sect?
Was he unaware of the delicate relationship between the Federation and the Tang Sect?
The two of them chatting and laughing so intimately—there must be some unspeakable, shady deal hidden within!
They really were birds of a feather, a nest of snakes and rats!
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Chen Xinjie was so lost in his wild imaginings that he slammed his face right into the doorframe.
A dull thud echoed. He gasped, his brows locking in pain as two streams of bright red blood instantly flowed uncontrollably from his nostrils, looking utterly wretched.
"Yo! It's Chen Xuesan, what are you doing!"
"What am I doing..."
"You were eavesdropping! Eavesdropping on the private matters between me and Sect Master Cao. You are despicable, you are shameless! It really isn't that there are fewer bad people in the world, it's just that they've grown old!"
Su Jiu didn't care about Chen Xinjie's excuses; he just kept piling accusations onto him.
Cao Dezhi also walked out, the look of disgust on his face as he looked at Chen Xinjie being particularly evident, impossible to suppress.
"Hall Master Chen, please show some self-respect!"
"I, you..."
Cao Dezhi slammed the dormitory door shut with a dark face, and Su Jiu ignored Chen Xinjie entirely, walking toward his own dormitory.
Chen Xinjie stood where he was, wiping the blood from his nose. He looked at Su Jiu's retreating back, the murderous intent in his eyes roiling, almost reaching its peak!
In the past, he would have loved to blast him with the Eternal Heaven on the spot, but now that the Eternal Heaven had been handed over to Yue Guan, and his Sea God Helmet had shattered, he had lost his trump cards. Still, it couldn't stop his eyes from turning blood-red as he breathed like an ox.
Leng Wuduan, you have already paved your own path to death!
The secret laboratory beneath Su Jiu's dormitory.
The thick, pungent scent of disinfectant rushed to meet him. In the sealed space, the rhythmic ticking of instruments sounded intermittently, cold and oppressive.
Deep in the room, the once ferocious Six-Clawed Demon Emperor had been dismembered.
Its main torso and remaining limbs had all been severed one by one, each sealed into specially labeled, airtight canisters.
Transparent tubes were connected to the canisters in an orderly fashion, and a steady stream of Abyss energy flowed through them, nourishing every piece of the remains.
It was precisely because of this supply of Abyss energy that all the body fragments of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor could remain fresh and fully active, kept here specifically for A-Qi to conduct in-depth research.
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
Su Jiu stood quietly before the head of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, which had been cracked open but whose brain remained perfectly preserved.
He was secretly astonished in his heart. He truly hadn't expected that A-Qi would go to such lengths to complete the task he had assigned, actually capturing an Abyss King to dissect and study all the secrets of the Abyss plane's energy!
He stood there, staring intently at the test subject and the data for a long time, but Su Jiu was not well-versed in such professional knowledge of plane energy and biological dissection.
After looking for a long time, everything was obscure and difficult to understand; he couldn't grasp a single clue.
Su Jiu sighed softly and gave up.
Professional matters should be left to the professionals; he shouldn't delay A-Qi's research time.
A-Qi, come out.
After Su Jiu went offline, A-Qi, representing ultimate rationality, took control of the Phantom Night Wanderer, which was equipped with a Sharp Bee Hunting as its core.
It picked up the scalpel on the table, which shimmered with a cold, biting light, and walked steadily toward the head of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor. Without any hesitation, it cleanly sliced off a small piece of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's cerebral cortex. The heart-wrenching pain made the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor suddenly widen its eyes, which were filled with scarlet bloodshot veins!
It was him, it was him, it was definitely him! The one who made its life worse than death!
How the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor wished to die on the spot; even if it meant losing all its memories, it would be better than suffering this inhuman torture...
Holy Monarch, please come and save your lost servant!
The Leng Family mansion, the next day.
"Wife, stop and rest for a moment. It's been the whole night, and I still have to go protect Na'er and Little Gu Yue today..."
Su Jiu sighed, unable to help but think of a saying from back home:
A woman at thirty is like a wolf, at forty like a tiger, and at fifty she can suck the earth right off the ground... Just thinking about his wife Leng Yaozhu, who was nearing triple digits in age, he was stunned. Despite it being her first time, she was so ferocious he had almost been solo-killed by her.
Leng Yaozhu occupied the high ground once again, her eyes filled with joy and satisfaction, brimming with happiness—not just in her heart, but in her body as well.
She continued to savor this hard-won delicacy.
"No! Husband, you belong to me right now. One more time..."
Su Jiu glanced at the dried crimson stain and recalled last night; it truly had been madness.
"Alright, alright, I'll do whatever my wife commands..."
"That's more like it~"
At the doorway, a little silver-haired ball was crouching stealthily, peeking through the crack in the door at the forbidden lesson inside.
Na'er covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her chest heaving rapidly as her little heart hammered wildly against her ribs, thump-thump, thump-thump.
Her entire face was burning red, flushed all the way to her ears, unable to fade. Her silver eyes were wide open, pupils constricted to pinpricks.
This—this kind of scene, was it really something she could just watch?
In the future, would she also be like this with Su Jiu...
So, so shameful...
Suddenly, Na'er felt a tap on her shoulder. Just as she was about to jump out of her skin, a rich scent of the Silver Dragon wafted over.
It was Little Gu Yue who had arrived.
Na'er was quick-witted, covering Little Gu Yue's mouth and pulling her away.
"Na'er, what are you doing? Why is your face so red?"
"Shh—!"
Na'er pressed a finger to her lips, signaling for silence, indicating that she should keep her voice down and not disturb her child-bridegroom and Sister Leng as they made babies.
"Huh???"
"Little Gu Yue, let's go walk around Shrek City. Su Jiu is busy today, don't disturb him."
The bewildered Little Gu Yue was even more confused now. Wasn't this her teacher's room?
Why was Su Jiu here so early in the morning?
From inside the room, passionate phoenix cries rang out from time to time, clearly indicating they were doing something exceptionally joyful. This made Little Gu Yue, who possessed the Dragon God's world-shaking wisdom, even more curious.
But Na'er pulled Little Gu Yue away firmly, refusing to let her get any closer.
Little Gu Yue had no choice but to leave, but the seed of curiosity had already been planted in her heart. Once that seed took root and sprouted, it would only drive Little Gu Yue to touch the forbidden, spiraling out of control...
"Na'er saw everything, wife..."
From the moment Na'er had opened the door, Su Jiu had noticed the little one. Leng Yaozhu had noticed her too, but she had told him to ignore it.
"Let her see. We'll both be serving you in the future anyway. Let Na'er observe a bit more now to gain some practical experience, so I don't have to teach her personally later."
