Fraud General

Yun Tian and Dongfang Tiexin played ball for a while before stopping, tired out. Yun Tian went straight over to lie on a beach chair. Only then did Dongfang Xiong emerge from the changing room, walking a little awkwardly. She came over to Yun Tian and blocked his sunlight. Noticing the shade, Yun Tian started to look up, only for Dongfang Xiong to bend down at that very moment. They bumped into each other and both froze. Dongfang Xiong immediately straightened, freeing Yun Tian. Looking at her flushed face, he said,

"We're practically an old married couple. What are you so shy about?"

At his words, Dongfang Xiong immediately flushed with embarrassment and indignation. She looked at Yun Tian with both hands on her hips.

"What did you say?"

"Uh, nothing."

Seeing her like that, Yun Tian pulled Dongfang Xiong into his arms, placing one hand on her belly and supporting her bottom with the other. She tried to get up, but the moment he pressed her belly, her strength deserted her. She went limp in his arms, gazing at him with eyes full of tender desire. Yun Tian stroked her belly.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hmph, you have the nerve to ask? You don't know how to treat a woman gently."

"Hmm? You were the one asking for it like that at the time. Now you're denying it?"

Hearing his words, Dongfang Xiong hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Stop talking. You're embarrassing me to death."

When they returned that evening, Ling'er and the others had dinner ready, but Dongfang Xiong didn't touch a bite. Dongfang Tiexin noticed and asked,

"Mom, why aren't you eating?"

"Oh, Tiexin, I'm not hungry."

Not hungry? That's an understatement. My belly's still full even now. Who knows how many times I've had to change clothes? Thinking this, Dongfang Xiong shot Yun Tian another glare.

That night, Yun Tian entered Dongfang Xiong's room and swept her into his arms, his hands beginning to wander. Dongfang Xiong hurriedly said,

"No, I still haven't recovered from earlier."

"It's fine. You still have another way."

A few hours later, Yun Tian emerged from the room looking refreshed, while Dongfang Xiong washed her hands and rinsed her mouth.

Meanwhile, over with Nangong Wentian,

Nangong Wentian and his companions had arrived in the Eastern Sea Region.

"Mm, the weather's lovely."

"Yeah."

Nangong Wentian and the others stood by the sea.

"Wentian, we don't have a boat. How are we supposed to get out to sea?"

"Well, I don't know either."

Just as they were worrying about their lack of a boat, a voice rang out.

"Children, are you looking to go out to sea?"

Nangong Wentian looked toward the voice and saw a boatman with a large boat.

"Sir, we want to go out to sea, but we don't have a boat."

"That's no problem. I can take you."

"Really, sir? You can really take us?"

"Yes."

"That's great!"

Nangong Wentian and the others were delighted.

"All right, children, come aboard. We're setting off."

And so Nangong Wentian and his companions boarded the boat.

As the boat sailed across the sea, Nangong Wentian and the others stood by its railing, looking out over the water.

Ximen Xiao said, "So this is the sea. I've always stayed in the West Gate Region. I've never seen it before."

Nangong Wentian said, "Same here. We have rivers in the Nangong Region, but they can't compare to the sea."

Then Shennong Beast said, "Our Beiming Region is covered in snow all year round. I've never seen the sea either."

At that moment, Nangong Wentian wanted to ask the boatman a few questions, so he called out,

"Sir!"

There was no reply. Nangong Wentian went to the stern and was dumbfounded to find no one there. He hurriedly called everyone over.

"What's wrong, Wentian?"

"The boatman's gone!"

"What?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Then Ximen Xiao shouted,

"The boat's leaking!"

Just then, laughter rang out.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Nangong Wentian, you're done for!"

Someone appeared riding the Demon Beast Dolphin. It was none other than the boatman.

"Who are you?"

"Hahahahaha! I serve the Heaven-Earth Alliance Leader. I'm the Fraud Boss!"

"Damn it, another one of the Heaven-Earth Alliance Leader's lackeys!"

Meanwhile, a screen hovered before Yun Tian, displaying Nangong Wentian and his companions. Watching the scene, Yun Tian said,

"According to the original plot, Nangong Wentian and the others should only discover the Fraud General once the boat has completely sunk. But now Nangong Wentian has happened to discover him early."

Yun Tian watched Nangong Wentian transform and defeat the Fraud General, then encounter a genuine boatman as their boat sank. Everything was back on track with the original plot. The Heavenly Dao's corrective power was pretty impressive. Everything was logical and plausible, unlike in some novels where the Heavenly Dao was completely unreasonable. Thinking of that reminded Yun Tian of something else: where had Nuwa gone in this world?
