Douluo Continent: Invincible Since Being Forced into Marriage by a Goddess — Part 49

Actions spoke louder than feelings.

The two vanished into the forest like a gust of wind...

"It smells so good."

Slurp, slurp...

High up in a massive verdant tree not far from the island in the middle of the lake, Yu Yuanzhen's Adam's apple bobbed. Through the lush green leaves, he could vaguely make out three figures—one large and two small.

Watching the three of them live together so harmoniously, Yu Luomian said bitterly, "If I'd known, I shouldn't have been so harsh on Erlong back then. Otherwise, would we be reduced to watching from here?"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted. "As her uncle, do I not even have the right to go over for a meal?!"

Yu Yuanzhen's face was covered in short, thick sideburns, giving him the weathered air of a righteous elder.

Yu Luomian froze for a moment, then pointed at the Fairytale House and asked tentatively, "Why don't you go try, Big Brother?"

"Hm?"

"Hmph!"

A flash of inspiration struck Yu Yuanzhen's clever little head. "Second Brother, that's your daughter. As Erlong's father, there's no one more suitable than you to take the lead."

"You're not a guest. That's your home!" Yu Yuanzhen barked solemnly.

Who would have thought that Yu Luomian would shake his head fiercely? "I'm not going. Absolutely not. No way!"

"What? You're the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet you don't even have the courage to enter your own daughter's home? It's not like she'd throw you out!"

Yu Yuanzhen's rough voice startled the birds in the forest. "If it were that unfilial son of mine, forget mooching a meal—I could chase after him with a saber and chop at him, and he wouldn't dare complain in the slightest!"

Yu Luomian muttered, "Oh, give it a rest, Big Brother. Can Erlong be compared to Xiao Gang? You could stand there and let Xiao Gang hammer you all day, and he still couldn't hurt you. But let Erlong have a try? Fire Dragon would burn the skin right off you..."

"What did you say?!"

Yu Yuanzhen was a dignified Super Douluo, the strongest Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. How could his hearing possibly be poor enough to miss Yu Luomian's muttering?!

His nostrils flared and his eyes widened. "That is this old man's niece! Do you think I'm as crude as you? Back when I was cherishing women and whispering sweet nothings, you were still wearing crotchless pants!"

"You make it sound like you have a wealth of romantic experience. Even Sister-in-law was practically kidnapped, bribed, and lured into marrying you..."

Yu Luomian grumbled inwardly. When it came to romance, he was among the best in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He had at least three, if not five, former lovers still under his care.

On the island in the middle of the lake, the voices of those two idiots drifted faintly over. They had not even bothered using sound transmission, so naturally, they alerted Liu Erlong.

Even Xiao Wu and Su Bei noticed. Resting his cheek against his palm, Su Bei said, "It sounds like someone's here."

A trace of coldness flickered across Liu Erlong's face before she said calmly, "Ignore them."

"Who are they?"

Su Bei was rather interested. The Douluo Continent was not that vast, and the circles of powerful people were even smaller. There could not be many people capable of moving Liu Erlong.

"You wouldn't know them even if I told you, Xiao Bei." Liu Erlong gently stroked Su Bei's face.

"Are they bad people?"

With a pair of fluffy rabbit ears adorning her black hair, Xiao Wu gnawed on a Cherry Radish as she asked.

"They're my uncle... and my father..."

Liu Erlong's gaze crossed the lake and traveled up the trunk of the massive tree, where she spotted two middle-aged and elderly fools hiding behind it.

Feeling her gaze, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian knew they had been discovered. With nowhere left to hide, they stepped out from the shadows and crossed through the air, their toes lightly tapping the lake's surface as they arrived before the three of them.

Su Bei knew that even with the Lingbo Micro-Steps, he could not outrun them. The gap in their soul skill cultivation was simply too great. They were not on the same level at all.

"Erlong, Daddy's here."

"And these two children are...?"

Without the slightest courtesy, they sat down on the wooden stools. After tasting the delicious dishes, they bluntly asked about the two children's origins.

But the instant they saw Su Bei and Xiao Wu, their eyes froze.

The two old men stared at each other as though they were saying:

"Why didn't you tell me this child was so breathtakingly beautiful?"

"Why didn't I? I told you long ago that rumors said this child was extraordinarily exquisite!"

"Can mere 'exquisite' possibly describe this?"

It was simply indescribable!

For a moment, the two leading elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stared wide-eyed at the child before them.
