Blue Batian's Eyes Went Straight for the Spirit Stone (Fourth Update)

Blue Batian had been chatting happily with Lan Lengshuang, who had just woken up.

"Dad, are you saying Ye Chen willingly went with that Dong Shizhang for the sake of Zanghai City?"

Lan Lengshuang was somewhat shocked.

That spirit of sacrificing oneself for others was simply too foolish, but... it was impossible not to admire him.

Lan Lengshuang wondered if she would do the same in his place.

"Yeah, that kid's pretty impressive. When he was taken away, I told him that if he came back alive, I'd consider letting him become my son-in-law~" Blue Batian looked at Lan Lengshuang with a grin.

Then his expression dimmed. Though he had said that, he knew perfectly well: how could someone in the Awakening Realm survive in the hands of someone in the Myriad Stars Realm?

Unexpectedly, Lan Lengshuang did not argue with Blue Batian. Perhaps she had never thought Ye Chen could return alive, or perhaps Ye Chen's actions had earned her admiration. At the very least, she was no longer so resistant.

Just then, Blue Batian suddenly sensed a powerful bloodline pressure.

He shot to his feet and stared solemnly toward Zanghai No. 1 High School.

"Dad?"

Lan Lengshuang had no idea what had happened.

"Dad's going out for a while. You... stay safe."

Blue Batian's breathing grew increasingly rapid.

In Zanghai City, the only one capable of exerting bloodline pressure on him was that Lion King!

What on earth was happening today...

The Windwing Tiger materialized behind him, then merged into his body as he flew toward Zanghai No. 1 High School.

By the time Blue Batian arrived, Ye Chen had just finished explaining how he had escaped.

"Little Brother Ye?" Blue Batian floated in midair, his two eyes like enormous lightbulbs.

Ye Chen turned around. "Oh, Blue... father-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Blue Batian lost control and fell straight out of the sky.

"Family Head Lan, take it easy..." Bai Zhan was speechless.

"Yeah, Blue Tiger Bastard, don't smash my school's floor," Zhang Daosheng added cooperatively.

Blue Batian glared at them. "You two, shut up!"

At that, Zhang Daosheng and Bai Zhan stepped aside and snickered.

Blue Batian climbed to his feet, then looked at Ye Chen again and said gloomily, "Father-in-law your ass! I was just joking with you. You really want to become my son-in-law?!"

He couldn't possibly have really said one sentence and ended up giving his daughter away, could he?

"Haha, you were the one who said it. How is that my fault~" Ye Chen teased.

Blue Batian rolled his eyes at Ye Chen. "Speaking of which, how did you get back?"

"..." Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

"I just explained it to Old Zhang and Big Brother Bai. I don't want to explain it again!"

In the end, Ye Chen still failed to escape explaining it all over again.

Blue Batian listened with great interest. "Good kid, surviving a great disaster means good fortune is bound to follow!"

"I was wondering why that Lion King suddenly came to Zanghai City. It scared the hell out of me."

Blue Batian suddenly shook his head.

It was truly helpless. The bloodline pressure had been far too severe.

Those with elemental and special talents did not suffer from this sort of trouble.

Compared to them, the mutual suppression between upper and lower ranks among beast-type talents was far more complicated than simply ice freezing water.

Bloodline suppression could directly leave the opponent utterly powerless to fight back.

Of course, some people had exceptionally strong wills, so this would not necessarily happen to them.

Thus, it depended on the person.

The Westwind Lion King's speed was something Blue Batian could not compare with. The moment it heard that it was moving house and that a chef would specially cook for it, the Lion King's speed shot all the way up to eight hundred and thirty.

Just kidding—when Ye Chen had been on its back, hadn't it been holding back for his sake? Otherwise, the Lion King would have reached Zanghai City long ago!

The four of them were chatting and laughing when Bai Zhan reported the news of the Human Race traitor Dong Shizhang's death to the higher-ups.

The higher-ups were instantly dumbfounded when they heard what the Westwind Lion King had done.

If only all the Mutant Beasts in the world were as sensible as the Westwind Lion King!

As for the children whose minds had been damaged, the Great Xia Federation would naturally cover the costs of treating them.

With current technology, these injuries were not incurable.

It was just a pity about those who had already died...

Just then, Blue Batian sensed something.

He suddenly looked up.

"Wind-Type... Spirit Stone... So big..."

Blue Batian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

A gigantic Wind-Type Spirit Stone hovered in midair. A preliminary estimate put its weight at over a hundred tons...

Beneath the Spirit Stone, a half-human, half-beast being was holding it up.

Everyone was staring blankly at such a huge Spirit Stone. Needless to say, Blue Batian, being a wind-type user, was even more transfixed.

"I'm here! Where do I live? Where do I put this Spirit Stone? When do we eat?"

Bai Zhan froze. "This... the higher-ups haven't come up with a specific plan yet..."

Although the higher-ups had agreed to this matter, the City Lord still had to decide where to settle the Westwind Lion King.

Zhang Daosheng covered his face and said helplessly, "Since that's the case, Lion King, stay at the school for now..."

The Westwind Lion King looked dejected and muttered, "What's so good about living in this lousy school..."

Though its voice was very quiet, everyone present was at least in the Sea-Overturning Realm.

Blue Batian in particular was staring foolishly at the enormous Wind-Type Spirit Stone, practically drooling.

"Senior Lion King... if you don't mind, how about staying at my place? My family's courtyard is several thousand square meters. I'll order my family to build you a Palace right now!"

"A Palace?!" The Westwind Lion King's eyes lit up when it heard those two words!

Bai Zhan and Zhang Daosheng shook their heads. How could they not see what Blue Batian was thinking?

"Ahem, it's not impossible..." The Westwind Lion King coughed twice, then said something that scared Blue Batian half to death.

"Little tiger~ You're not coveting my Wind-Type Spirit Stone, are you~"

The Westwind Lion King looked at Blue Batian with a wicked grin.

Blue Batian hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no! How could that be? How could I, Blue Batian, possibly be that kind of person? Absolutely not!"

"Oh, is that so? I was thinking that if you wanted some, I could give you a tiny piece... but seeing as that's the case... I suppose there's no need." The Westwind Lion King's grin grew even more mischievous.

Blue Batian's face flushed red. "Senior Lion King, you're joking..."

The three of them—Ye Chen, Bai Zhan, and Zhang Daosheng—laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.

In the end, the Westwind Lion King still moved into the Lan Family's residence.

Fortunately, the Lan Family's reputation in Zanghai City was exceptionally good.

Whenever Zanghai City faced trouble, the Lan Family was always the first to charge into the fray.

This matter could finally be considered settled.

When Ye Chen returned home, exhaustion instantly surged through him.

Ever since the Lion King's roar had sounded, he had remained in a state of taut mental tension.

Then there had been Zhang Daosheng and the others fighting Dong Shizhang, followed by controlling the Wood Human to chase Dong Shizhang down.

And then the Lion King had scared him into breaking out in a cold sweat...

One twist after another—who wouldn't be exhausted after all that?

What was more, Ye Chen was only in the Awakened Sixth Realm...
