Book 4: Chapter 40: Wang's Clan is already very strong!
……
Wang Lilong was having a great time, but the Golden Tiger King was not pleased.
On such a joyous day, to have other fierce beasts come and provoke him—how could he tolerate that?
"Fine, fine, fine! I want to see who has the guts to challenge me on my own turf! Everyone, follow me!"
In a fit of rage, the Golden Tiger King let out a roar and leaped out of his lair like a gust of wind.
The five great demon generals behind him also roared as they followed him out, forming a formidable lineup.
All the beasts and demons fixed their eyes on the scene.
They saw a "miniature" azure dragon hovering at the entrance of the cave, wearing a pretty little floral dress that her mother, Liu Ruolan, had sewn for her. She even had a schoolbag slung over her front claws, filled with all sorts of study materials.
According to Liu Ruolan, even on a long trip, her grades at the clan school couldn't fall behind. She had to study even between fights.
This left Wang Lilong quite frustrated, as if her mother thought her grades had never been bad. From start to finish, her grades had never been good, okay?But out of "respect and love" for her mother, Wang Lilong had to put on a show.
Her appearance left the fierce beasts dumbfounded. What kind of creature was this?
Only the Golden Tiger King's face turned serious, "You, you're a dragon?"
As a fellow seventh-tier great demon, it sensed the powerful aura hidden within Wang Lilong.
"Are you blind?" Wang Lilong rolled her eyes at the Golden Tiger King, haughtily saying, "Is it not obvious enough that I'm a dragon?"
Having lived with the Wang Clan for a while, she often had to outwit her parents and teachers, which greatly improved her eloquence and wit. Her ability to retort had also increased significantly. Previously, she would always lose arguments with Yuwen Chi Wei, but now she could go back and forth for hundreds of rounds.
"I don't care who you are! Even if you're a dragon, you have no right to oppose my marriage!" The Golden Tiger King was so angry that his teeth were bared, and a fiery rage filled his amber eyes.
It felt offended by Wang Lilong. If she weren't a dragon and not easy to provoke, it would have pounced and torn her to pieces long ago.
"Hey, hey, you're just a seventh-tier demon, stop calling yourself 'king' as if you're some demon king ancestor." Wang Lilong sneered, "You're just like Pigsy pretending to be an elephant. I oppose your marriage, and if you're not happy, come fight me!"
Seventh-tier was merely a great demon, while ninth-tier was a demon king. This Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger was far from being called a demon king.
"Roar! You little dragon, don't be too arrogant!"
The Golden Tiger King was so furious that it clawed at the ground, roaring in anger, almost unable to hold back from charging forward.
However, considering the little dragon's identity, it restrained itself, roaring deeply, "Considering your youth and ignorance, I won't eat you for now. Leave quickly."
After all, it was an old demon that had lived for over a thousand years and had roamed the world in its youth.
It naturally knew that the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan was not to be trifled with. However, most of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragons lived in the Great Swamp and rarely ventured outside.
The Golden Tiger King found it puzzling why a Yuan Shui Azure Dragon would appear in its territory to cause trouble.
It wasn't afraid of this obviously young dragon, but it feared that if it attacked the young one, the elders might come. The "Ancestor Dragon" in the Great Swamp was one of the most powerful demon kings in the Southern Wilderness, and it couldn't afford to provoke it.
Now, it was Wang Lilong's turn to be dumbfounded.
She had unleashed her full verbal assault, yet the big tiger still held back? How was she supposed to provoke it? How could she complete her father's task?
Immediately, her eyes rolled, and she chuckled, "I can leave, but that moon rabbit looks pretty. Let me take it back as a concubine for my father, and I'll forgive you."
What?
Inside the cave, the trembling moon rabbit was in despair, its ruby-like eyes dimming.
It had thought a savior had arrived, but it turned out to be another villain coveting its beauty for her father.
Wuwuwu~~ Auntie Yao was right, "Since ancient times, beauties have had short lives." As a beautiful moon rabbit, its fate was too tragic, either being forced to marry a stinky tiger or being forced to marry an old lustful dragon!
Wang Lilong's words completely enraged the Golden Tiger King.
"Roar! You little azure dragon, you're too much! You're not opposing the marriage; you're clearly trying to steal the bride! I'm furious!!"
The Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger, a fierce beast with a unique bloodline, was accustomed to being domineering and naturally had a bad temper. Just now, it had barely held back out of respect for the Azure Dragon Ancestor, but now, hearing these words, it could no longer suppress its violent temper.
As soon as the words fell, it leaped into the air, pouncing forward.
In an instant, its body, which was originally the size of an ordinary tiger, expanded rapidly, growing several times larger in the blink of an eye, transforming into a massive demon form.
"Clang~!" "Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A series of metallic sounds like swords being drawn echoed as a pair of enormous metallic wings appeared between the Golden Tiger King's ribs, gleaming like gilded gold in the sunlight, exuding an indescribable grandeur.
These wings were the source of the "Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger" name.
But if anyone thought these wings were merely for show because of their magnificence, they would be gravely mistaken. These wings were infused with countless Gengjin Qi, serving both as wings and as a means of attack for the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger.
Simultaneously, a hint of violent crimson appeared in the Golden Tiger King's amber eyes.
The deep roar of the tiger echoed in all directions, saliva dripping from its sharp teeth, and a fierce and brutal aura erupted from its body, sweeping out in an instant.
As the king of beasts, the strength of the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger was undeniable. At this moment, its full might was unleashed, causing the air within a few miles to seemingly freeze.
Unfortunately, Wang Lilong was not intimidated at all.
"Oh, oh, oh, you old lustful tiger have quite a temper, don't think you're the only one who can transform."
As she spoke, Wang Lilong grabbed with her dragon claw, instantly removing her pretty dress and tossing her schoolbag into her storage ring.
The storage ring was threaded with extremely sturdy golden spirit silk and hung on the scales under her neck, ensuring it wouldn't burst when she changed size. The floral dress and schoolbag were symbols of her mother's love, and she couldn't bear to damage them.
Without the clothes to restrict her, Wang Lilong had no more reservations, and her petite dragon body expanded rapidly.
In the span of a single breath, she transformed from a tiny azure dragon into a nearly twenty-meter-long Yuan Shui Azure Dragon, with jade scales, golden eyes, deer-like antlers, and dragon whiskers, exuding an unparalleled majesty.
Clouds follow the dragon, and winds follow the tiger.
As soon as she revealed her true form, water vapor gathered from all directions, and wisps of cloud surrounded her, like jade belts, adding an ethereal touch.
Compared to the fierce and wild aura of the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger, the slender dragon body of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon could be described as elegant, yet its dragon might was equally powerful.
As her massive dragon body rolled, the entire world seemed to dim, and the overwhelming dragon might made the air oppressive, almost suffocating.
The sixth-tier Giant Horned White Jade Rhinoceros, fifth-tier Red-striped Black Python, fifth-tier Diamond Stone Ape, fifth-tier Blazing Fire Luan Bird, and the Dark Moon Shadow Leopard, all five fierce beasts, were immediately terrified, cowering on the ground, trembling.
The leap from the sixth to the seventh tier was a major life transition, a gap far greater than from the fifth to the sixth tier.
With two seventh-tier great demons simultaneously releasing their pressure, the aura was terrifying, and they didn't even have the courage to resist.
"Roar!"
As Wang Lilong transformed into her demon form, the enraged Golden Tiger King had already pounced close to her.
Amidst the roars of the tiger, the golden wings on the Golden Tiger King's back flapped fiercely.
"Whoosh~!!!"
A howling gale suddenly arose.
The world darkened abruptly, and countless Gengjin Qi gathered from all directions, concentrating on those dazzling golden wings.
In the next moment, these countless Gengjin Qi transformed into countless sharp golden sword qi, whistling forward, rushing towards the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to dim slightly, with only the sharp golden sword qi, formed by the Gengjin Qi, shining brilliantly and dazzlingly.
This intimidating sharpness made even the fifth and sixth-tier fierce beasts hundreds of meters away shiver, as if recalling some painful past.
This was the innate divine ability of the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger clan—"Golden Wings"!
If a Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger had the chance to grow to the ninth tier, the "Golden Wings" minor divine ability would evolve into a major divine ability—"Sun-swallowing Golden Wings."
This was the most powerful state of the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger clan. However, with the bloodline of this Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger, reaching that level was almost impossible.
Legend has it that a ninth-tier Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger could instantly draw all the Gengjin Qi from an entire spiritual vein and then transform this Gengjin Qi into a sky-covering sharp golden sword qi, pouring it out.
Under such terrifying power, even the blazing sun in the sky would dim.
Although the current "Golden Wings" state of the minor divine ability couldn't reach that legendary state, it already had a few shades of the sky-covering momentum.
The sky was filled with sharp golden sword qi, pouring down with the gale, the unmatched sharpness like bone-scraping steel knives. Under this power, the Golden Tiger King, roaring and pouncing, seemed truly ferocious, with a momentum that seemed capable of destroying the world.
Yet, Wang Lilong remained unafraid.
She continued her upward flight, her form flickering as she deftly dodged the tiger's pounce, while her slender dragon tail swung fiercely, directly slapping at the sharp golden qi in the sky.
Vast spiritual energy gathered on her tail, and the dragon scales on her tail suddenly brightened, with her already strong defense increasing severalfold.
"Pa!"
"Papapapa!"
A series of explosive sounds like firecrackers echoed as dozens of sharp golden sword qi nearby were instantly shattered.
Although Wang Lilong's tail was also left with several bloody gashes, she showed no sign of retreating. Instead, her ferocity was aroused, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her pure golden eyes.
"Moo~~~"
A long dragon roar suddenly resounded.
Wang Lilong's dragon whiskers fluttered, and her entire dragon body surged with a powerful aura. Under the sweeping dragon might, even the sky gathered dark clouds, as if the clear sky was about to turn stormy.
Endless Yuan Shui spiritual energy, accompanied by water vapor, gathered from all directions.
A massive whirlpool appeared in the lake at the foot of the mountain, with a towering water column rising in the center of the lake. Countless water currents, along with fish, shrimp, and crabs in the water, were swept into the water column by the whirlpool and then drawn into the sky with the curved water column.
This was the innate minor divine ability of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan upon reaching the seventh tier—"Water Control."
With the power of the bloodline, they could command the waters of the world.
When this divine ability was cultivated to a profound level, the minor divine ability would transform into a major divine ability, capable of summoning the waters of the four seas, enough to submerge the continent and turn mulberry fields into seas.
Of course, Wang Lilong was far from having such power now.
But under her control, the surging water drawn from the lake crashed down like a waterfall, heading towards the Golden Tiger King.
Caught off guard, the Golden Tiger King staggered, drenched by the pouring water, turning into a wet cat, and even the sharp golden sword qi around it was scattered significantly.
However, it was still a seventh-tier great demon, and as a tough-skinned and thick-furred metal-type tiger beast, the water mixed with Yuan Shui spiritual energy could affect it to some extent, even disrupting and interfering with its control of the sharp golden sword qi, but it was still difficult to harm it.
But this only further enraged the Golden Tiger King.
It shook its body vigorously, shaking off the water, and then roared again, pouncing towards the detestable Yuan Shui Azure Dragon!
In an instant, the dragon and the tiger were entangled in the sky.
As the battle continued, more and more Gengjin Qi was drawn into the sky, and the lake water was continuously drawn out, controlled by the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon and flowing into the area.
The water level at the foot of the mountain unknowingly rose, soon reaching the cave. The turbulent water currents repeatedly impacted, and the cave, which was just casually dug out, was soon washed away. The things inside the cave were scattered everywhere by the water, looking like a mess.
Inside the cave, the moon rabbit, bound and with ruby-like eyes filled with tears, looked at the rising water level with despair.
Could it be that it would drown here today?
Wang Lilong, after all, was still young and had only recently advanced to the seventh tier, so she wasn't particularly skilled in using her divine abilities. With her current strength, coupled with the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan's talents, dealing with sixth-tier fierce beasts was naturally easy, but facing an old seventh-tier peak demon like the Golden Tiger King was a bit challenging.
After a brief entanglement, her once neat and beautiful dragon scales were now covered with numerous wounds, looking quite gruesome.
"Little Azure Dragon," the Golden Tiger King, seeing that it had the upper hand, became even more imposing, with a hint of lewdness and greed flashing in its amber eyes, "Do you see how powerful I am? If we continue to fight, you're definitely not my match. But seeing as you're quite pretty and have a good bloodline, why not marry me along with the moon rabbit? It would be a double blessing today! How about it?"
"Roar roar roar~~!!!"
"Hiss~ hiss hiss~~~"
These were the excited howls of the fierce beasts and demon generals under the Golden Tiger King, expressing admiration for their mighty king, who even knew how to use idioms.
"Bah! You shameless old pervert!" Wang Lilong, in her Yuan Shui Azure Dragon form, was instantly furious, spitting a water column at the Golden Tiger King, "With your bloodline that's reached its limit, you dare have designs on me? I'm still young, and my mother says creatures like you are filthy and have no good end."
As she spoke, Wang Lilong stirred up a thick mist, her dragon tail swinging, darting through the air like a pale blue lightning bolt.
As she flew, she didn't forget to grab the moon rabbit with one claw, then soared into the clouds, flying away swiftly.
The moon rabbit was utterly bewildered, being snatched away without any chance to react.
Flying through the clouds and mist was an innate ability of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon, extremely fast, and this time it caught the Golden Tiger King off guard, allowing her to fly far away in a flash.
In the sky, Wang Lilong's mocking laughter echoed, "You filthy and stupid tiger, don't you dare think you can marry Sister Moon Rabbit or take advantage of me! Bah!"
"I'm taking Sister Moon Rabbit back to give to my father as a concubine. Stupid tiger, just wait to wear a green hat. Wahahaha~"
Her proud and arrogant voice echoed through the clouds.
Who knows where she learned such a tone and endless nonsense, but if Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan were here, they would probably hold her down and give her a good spanking. Such a young age, and she's already up to no good, she deserves a beating!
However, Wang Shouzhe might secretly be pleased with his daughter's filial piety.
"Roar! You little mudfish, how dare you humiliate me like this!"
The Golden Tiger King was truly enraged, to the extreme.
Daring to snatch away the moon rabbit it had captured with great effort was like touching its reverse scale!
With a flap of its golden wings, it soared into the air, wrapped in a whirlwind, and charged into the clouds, chasing after Wang Lilong.
A dragon and a tiger soared and chased in the sky, with dragon roars and tiger howls echoing, shaking the heavens and the surrounding mountains.
Their speed was extremely fast, covering a distance of over a thousand miles in less than an hour.
Wang Lilong, after all, was a newly advanced Yuan Shui Azure Dragon, and compared to an old seventh-tier great demon like the Golden Tiger King, she was still lacking in foundation and accumulation. Not to mention, she was carrying her father's future concubine, making escape and attack and defense somewhat inconvenient.
The further they fought, the more battered she became, several times nearly being intercepted by the Golden Tiger King.
Until they reached the preset ambush point, Wang Lilong seemed unable to hold on any longer, plummeting from the clouds and crashing into a grove, crushing a patch of trees like weeds, looking extremely miserable.
"Hahaha~ Roar!" The Golden Tiger King, seeing this, was both excited and emboldened, "You feisty little girl, let's see where you can run now? Just surrender and come with me to be my wife. Considering your Yuan Shui Azure Dragon bloodline, I'll let you be the main wife and the moon rabbit the concubine."
As it spoke, the Golden Tiger King landed not far from Wang Lilong, striding forward with majestic tiger steps, looking as if it was about to reach the pinnacle of its life.
"Waa~~" Wang Lilong's dragon mouth quivered, and she burst into tears, "Daddy, Mommy, there's a pervert bullying your daughter, come save me!!"
As soon as the words fell.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar echoed in the sky, and dark clouds gathered, followed by a torrential downpour.
The Golden Tiger King was initially startled, but soon realized it was the innate divine ability of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon, and its eyes gleamed even more.
It laughed heartily, "Well, well, I didn't expect you to have such a divine ability to summon rain, your Yuan Shui Azure Dragon bloodline is purer than I imagined. But the more noble your bloodline, the more excited I am, roar! And little moon rabbit, you can't escape my grasp either."
"Daddy, Mommy~ Wuwuwu~ I don't want to play anymore~" Wang Lilong cried even more pitifully, and the rain in the sky poured down even harder.
In the pouring rain, the moon rabbit was soaked, curled up into a white ball, shivering.
Its body and heart were both cold. It's over, it's over, the little azure dragon's brain has been muddled by the fight, how could her parents possibly be here? This isn't the Southern Wilderness Great Swamp.
To the moon rabbit, being forced to marry either way, marrying that stinky Golden Tiger King was worse than being a concubine to the old lustful dragon. At least the dragon wouldn't eat rabbits...
Unfortunately, it's all over!
"Keep calling~ Keep calling~ The more you call..." The Golden Tiger King's eyes flickered with both lust and ferocity, as if already imagining the blissful future of having both in its arms.
However, before it could finish its smug words, it suddenly saw a human boy waving at it from a small hill in the distance, "Big tiger, look here, look here."
A human? A boy?
The Golden Tiger King's mind momentarily froze, almost thinking it was seeing things.
This area was far from human habitation, a truly desolate wilderness, where even a Basalt cultivator was rarely seen, let alone a random weakling boy.
"Big tiger, watch the sword."
The boy made a showy sword-wielding gesture.
The posture made the Golden Tiger King chuckle inwardly.
How foolish, what kind of sword could such a little brat wield? Even if he was exceptionally talented and could barely wield a sword, how many tiger hairs could he cut?
But in the next moment, the Golden Tiger King couldn't laugh anymore.
"Buzz!"
A deep, resonant sword hum echoed, and an ancient, unadorned longsword suddenly flew out from behind the boy, whistling into the sky.
In an instant, the sword vibrated, and a vast sword intent surged forth like a tidal wave, carrying an overwhelming ambition and grandeur.
This was not a sword intent that a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator could cultivate, but one that only a true witness of the world's grandeur, someone who had seen the might of heaven and earth and possessed great courage and vision, could possibly achieve.
Once the sword intent was unleashed, even the heavens and earth seemed to resonate with it.
And on that sword, shimmering with sword qi as if it could cleave the heavens, stood a white-clad sword immortal with hands behind his back.
His figure was not tall, even somewhat thin, but his aura was ethereal and transcendent, like an immortal from beyond the world.
His eyes were deep and profound, seemingly containing the killing intent of the heavens. Just one glance at the Golden Tiger King made it feel a sense of impending doom.
If the Sword and Formation Master Ji Wuchen were at his peak, he could naturally slay it with a single sword. But now, as a remnant soul, even burning some accumulated soul energy would only allow him to contend with a Celestial Realm opponent.
His appearance was merely to activate the formation.
With a pinch of his fingers, a wave of soul energy spread, instantly activating the hidden [Whirling Sand Illusion Formation].
In an instant, waves of sand, like those in the depths of a desert, rose, and the grains of sand, seemingly both illusory and real, struck the Golden Tiger King, making it feel its skin prickle with pain.
What alarmed the Golden Tiger King the most was that its ears were filled with the howling wind, and all it could see was endless swirling sand, even its divine sense was confined to a small area.
Looking back.
The Yuan Shui Azure Dragon and the moon rabbit were nowhere to be seen.
"In the distance."
The Golden Tiger King vaguely heard Wang Lilong's coquettish voice, "Daddy, Daddy, didn't I do a great job this time? That stupid old Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger really fell for it."
"Long'er did well." Wang Shouzhe patted the head of a mini dragon, feeling heartache, "You've worked hard this time, let Daddy heal you."
As he spoke, pure energy flowed into her body.
Wang Lilong's injuries began to heal at a visible rate.
Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe said, "Thanks to Chi Wei and Shouzong, take down that Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger. Ruolan and Ancestor, assist from the side, be careful, everyone else stand by!"
"Yes, Clan Head."
Wang Shouzong was the first to respond, then stepped forward, his footsteps rumbling like a war god as he entered the Whirling Sand Illusion Formation.
"Giggle~ I'll do anything Brother Shouzhe says. If you add 'sister' after Chi Wei, I'll be even happier." The seven-tailed fire fox Yuwen Chi Wei laughed, transforming into her fox form like a blazing fire as she entered the battlefield.
Liu Ruolan and Ancestor Long Yan also flew into the illusion formation simultaneously, primarily to execute containment tasks.
Despite being a wife and an ancestor, they were very obedient to Wang Shouzhe's orders on the battlefield and would never disobey or cause trouble.
With two Purple Mansion Realm combatants and two Celestial Realm great prodigies, dealing with a single Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger was a clear display of overwhelming strength.
Therefore, Wang Luo Qiu and Wang Luojing looked at Wang Shouzhe eagerly, "Fourth Brother, are we just here to watch the show?"
"Luo Qiu, you're a combat-type Basalt cultivator, fighting the Golden-winged Tiger is dangerous. Luojing, your battle insects are precious, don't waste them." Wang Shouzhe said calmly.
"Daddy, that pervert teased me, I want to join the fight and beat it." Wang Lilong, seeing her injuries improving, was eager to join the battle.
She had been beaten badly earlier, and to make it look convincing, she had taken a few hits. If she didn't skin that stinky tiger and bite it a few times, she wouldn't be able to vent her anger!
"Alright, then make it quick." Wang Shouzhe nodded.
With Wang Lilong joining the fray, the already suppressed Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger had no room for resistance, only able to beg for mercy, "I surrender, I surrender. Little Azure Dragon, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."
"Kill it!"
Wang Shouzhe couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and gave the order directly.
Firstly, the Wang Clan had nearly perished due to a beast tide incited by a fifth-tier Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger, so Wang Shouzhe naturally bore a grudge.
After all, this was the only seventh-tier Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger in the area, and it was highly likely that the one from back then was a descendant of this seventh-tier tiger demon.
Secondly, such an old seventh-tier great demon, with its character long set and thinking solidified, was violent and unruly, almost impossible to tame.
Forcing it into the clan could potentially leave a huge hidden danger rather than provide any benefit.
The methods used on Wang Lilong wouldn't work on it.
With five experts joining forces and the formation trapping it, no matter how conservatively they fought, the Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger had no chance to turn the tables.
In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the mighty seventh-tier great demon, the Golden Tiger King, was beaten to death.
"Is that... it?"
Wang Luo Qiu and her sister exchanged glances, feeling like they were just there to watch. At least let them throw a move, give them a sense of participation, right?
The sword spirit Ji Wuchen was also tugging at his beard, feeling distressed, "I told you, was it necessary? Dismantling the formation wastes quite a bit of material."After Ji Wuchen dismantled the formation, the massive corpse of the Golden-Winged Sun-Swallowing Tiger was exposed. As he muttered about Wang Shouzhe's wastefulness, he began to recover the formation materials.
Wang Shouzhe looked at the corpse of the seventh-rank great demon. Although he had anticipated it, he still felt a moment of disorientation.
In the past, the Wang Clan was nearly wiped out by a fifth-rank Golden-Winged Sun-Swallowing Tiger. Now, they had taken down a seventh-rank one without a scratch.
Unbeknownst to him, the Wang Clan had grown so powerful.
"Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt, don't be discouraged. That old lustful tiger still has five demon generals under him, and they're on their way here," Wang Lilong said, trying to please her aunts. "You can ambush them now and earn some battle merits."
"Alright, alright, I didn't expect we still had some work to do," Luo Jing and Luo Qiu's eyes finally lit up with excitement.
"In that case, let Shouzong accompany you to finish them off," Wang Shouzhe instructed the Purple Mansion puppet, Wang Shouzong, to assist them, as he was worried about their safety. "Don't make that face; the merits will be yours."
With that, Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu turned their worry into joy and happily took Wang Shouzong to clear out the remnants of the Golden Tiger King's forces.
The family guards, hiding in the distance, also received the signal to come and harvest.
They were both excited and thrilled as they began to clean up the battlefield. This was a seventh-rank great demon, after all, and it had been slaughtered so effortlessly. Every piece of its flesh was a treasure.
"Sister Chiwei, my wife, Ancestor, thank you for your hard work. And Lilong, you did really well this time. You've improved."
In this battle, many of the strategies and trump cards Wang Shouzhe had prepared were not even used. But he didn't regret the slight waste, as these were his family, and he couldn't afford to lose any of them.
"Thank you, Father, for the praise. I have a gift for you."
With that, Wang Lilong vanished in a flash.
Before long, she returned with a giant snow-white rabbit, about three meters tall, resembling a wild giant bear in size. She said to Wang Shouzhe, "Father, look, isn't this moon rabbit sister beautiful? I caught her just for you as a little wife."
"W-what little...?"
The first part seemed normal to Wang Shouzhe, but the latter part left him dizzy.
The rabbit was entirely snow-white and, ignoring its size, was quite cute. But it was big and plump, at least three or four meters tall... and this was supposed to be a little wife? Was she joking?
The moon rabbit seemed to have figured out the situation by now.
Though its limited brain capacity couldn't comprehend why the parents of a Yuan Shui Azure Dragon would be human, it didn't stop it from understanding what was about to happen.
It seemed this human was to be its future husband.
It looked at Wang Shouzhe with a pitiful expression, its ruby-like eyes filled with both grievance and curiosity as it occasionally showed a shy expression.
Oh my, this human looks quite handsome. Marrying him might not be a loss.
Wang Shouzhe felt a chill from behind, almost able to imagine Liu Ruolan's icy gaze. She might even have switched to a different persona by now...
His face twitched, and his body stiffened.
Wang Lilong, you are such a filial daughter!
Father really thanks you. Going out to lure monsters and still remembering to catch a concubine for Father!
