Something's Wrong, It's Six Dragons

"Eat up, eat up! Today's entire bill is on Young Master Xie!"

Xie Xie sat on the plush sofa, beckoning everyone to dig into the East Sea Specialty Food he had brought back from the snack street.

Seeing Xie Xie's smug expression, Gu Yue shot him a look of pure disdain.

What a show-off.

She then quietly picked up the lemonade Qian Jue had been drinking from and took a deep sip.

Ah~~~

An indirect kiss.

"Uh, Senior Sister, that's my lemonade."

"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I grabbed it by mistake."

Qian Jue looked suspiciously at Gu Yue, whose face was flushed red. Who grabs the wrong lemonade by mistake?

Was it intentional, or intentionally accidental?

Whatever. At least for now, it seems the Silver Dragon King doesn't intend to harm me.

Qian Jue picked up the pot-stewed beef from the table and took a massive bite.

It was delicious.

"I know this place's pot-stewed beef is good, Captain, but you don't have to look so blissfully happy."

Qian Jue waved a hand, savoring the way the tender, braised beef bloomed across his taste buds, and replied earnestly:

"You people wouldn't understand. Meat is far more fragrant than rice and oil."

Though there appeared to be six people present, it was actually five dragons and one human. The massive spread of East Sea Specialty Food brought by Xie Xie was soon wiped out like a whirlwind.

Surprisingly, Gu Yue took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Perhaps she wanted to leave an impression of being virtuous and capable on Qian Jue.

After all, she's quite average-looking.

Xie Xie thought to himself.

What a schemer, Gu Yue. Her hidden motives are as deep as the sea. If she weren't the Captain's Senior Sister, would someone with her looks even be worthy of standing by the Captain's side?

"Jinxi, Yangzi, you two go pick out your own empty rooms. The principal has granted me the usage rights to this villa, so just treat it like your own home. No need to be formal."

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi's faces lit up. Living in a single room was certainly more comfortable than the four-person dorms at school.

"Thank you so much, Captain."

With that, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi headed upstairs to choose their rooms, leaving only Xie Xie, Qian Jue, and Tang Wulin in the living room.

"We finished our physical data tests this afternoon. Remember to go find Teacher Wu tomorrow to update your records."

"No problem. I also want to see how much I've improved after fusing with the soul bone." Xie Xie looked at his right hand. It could now be fully called a Qilin... no, it should be a True Dragon Arm.

The Dark Demon Dragon Right Arm Bone brought more than just a soul bone skill; his physical fitness and martial soul attributes had also seen a significant boost.

With Xie Xie's situation settled for now, Qian Jue turned his gaze toward Tang Wulin, who was still there sucking on his fingers.

"Wulin, during the tests this afternoon, what was up with that dragon claw you suddenly manifested?"

There was no doubt about it; that was a Golden Dragon Claw.

According to the original story, Tang Wulin should only have been able to fully master that power after breaking the first seal.

He had only given him the spiritual item yesterday, and they had been cultivating together ever since. After finishing his meditation during the day, he went straight to class—there shouldn't have been any time for him to absorb the item and break the first seal.

It couldn't be that the Golden Dragon King broke the seal on its own, could it?

Tang Wulin sat obediently on the sofa, looking at his right hand, and said, "I don't know. At that moment... I just wanted to perform better, and then I used the dragon claw without thinking."

That was close. I almost blurted out that my head was full of Qian Jue at the time.

If the Captain found out, he'd probably think I'm a weirdo, right?

Qian Jue fell into deep thought. Hearing Wulin put it that way, it seemed the Golden Dragon King had taken the initiative to strike at the seal?

Moreover, the fact that the seal's energy could fuse perfectly with Tang Wulin proved at least that the Golden Dragon King still possessed consciousness and could control this power.

Strange, truly strange.

In Qian Jue's memory, the Golden Dragon King had sought out Tang Wulin specifically to kill him.

What on earth could have made the Golden Dragon King give up on taking revenge on the Tang family?

Could it be my martial soul?

If that were the case, then the importance of this Dragon Rising Pillar among the Dragon Clan might be no less than the Dragon God himself.

At the very least, the Golden Dragon King hadn't reacted this way when facing the Dragon Clan Dharma Blade.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sudden sound of knocking at the door interrupted their conversation.

"Did you order takeout?" Qian Jue glanced at Tang Wulin.

"No, no, how could I have the money to order takeout? Besides, Xie Xie treated me today, and I'm already stuffed." Tang Wulin licked his lips and patted his round belly.

Qian Jue was a bit puzzled, but he still got up to open the door.

Why did the scent outside the door feel so familiar?

"Who is it?"

The moment the door opened, a ball of white fluff lunged into Qian Jue's arms with lightning speed.

"Hee hee, Xiao Qian, I'm here!"

A white-haired girl, as delicately carved as a porcelain doll, straddled Qian Jue, her sweet smile enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

The three people in the living room all wore different expressions.

"Na, Na'er?!"

Seeing Na'er, Tang Wulin froze instantly.

It's my little sister!

Tears welled up in his eyes as Tang Wulin lunged forward, grabbing Na'er by the shoulders. "Na'er, where did you go? Mom and Dad were so worried about you."

"Big Brother, it's a long story. I'll tell you all about it later."

Na'er was also overjoyed to see Tang Wulin.

But she was still pinning Qian Jue down.

Na'er brushed off her skirt and hurriedly stood up.

Qian Jue also snapped back to reality, looking at Na'er's pretty face with surprise.

Shouldn't you be at Shrek honoring your bet with Gu Yue at this hour? What are you doing suddenly showing up here?

When he had awakened the memories of his past life, he had visited Sea God Island under the guidance of Long Yeyue, where he had met Na'er once.

"Xiao Qian, why did you leave without saying goodbye? If you had stayed just two more days, Master would have dragged us into an arranged marriage!"

Na'er held Qian Jue's small hand, muttering with a blushing face.

Qian Jue was completely stunned, turning his head to look at Tang Wulin.

Is this guy going to beat me up for snatching Na'er... or what?

It was completely different from the red-eyed, heavy-breathing rage he had imagined.

To his surprise, Qian Jue saw relief and approval on Tang Wulin's face.

Wait, isn't this your precious little sister?

You're not even angry that she's actively coming onto me?

Just as Qian Jue had suspected, Tang Wulin's feelings at this moment were quite complex.

His missing sister had reappeared, which was cause for celebration.

What surprised him was that Na'er actually knew Qian Jue and clearly had feelings for him—to the point where they could even discuss a marriage contract.

If it were anyone else trying to snatch his little cabbage before she was even ten years old, he would definitely fight them to the death.

But, but this person was Qian Jue!

His sister was beautiful; wasn't she much better than that Gu Yue?

Besides, if Na'er really ended up with Qian Jue, then he would be Qian Jue's brother-in-law, and the two of them would truly be family.

Once Na'er and Qian Jue grew up and got married, he could personally organize their wedding, put Qian Jue in the sharpest suit, and be his best man...

And once they had children, he could play with their kids every day...

As Tang Wulin drifted into his daydreams about the future, he didn't hear a single word of the conversation between Qian Jue and the others.
