Tang Doudou was also stunned to see this person. By the time she came back to her senses, she had already blurted out, âShen Moru!â
âJeje, you probably never imagined that we would meet again this soon?â The surprise in Shen Moruâs eyes immediately turned to coldness. He no longer looked like that horrifying withered thing from before. His eyes now had dark purple irises and he looked very healthy with ample flesh.
He had probably used some sort of method to recover to peak condition again after leaving the cave.
âHumph, the road between enemies sure is narrow!â
Shen Moru smiled without replying, then turned and bowed to Lan Jia. âYour Majesty, Saint Emperor.â
Lan Jia was the Saint Emperor?
Tang Doudou was extremely shocked, but when she glanced over, she saw that Baili Yu didnât seem surprised at all.
âHave you found the object I sent you to look for?â asked Lan Jia as he coldly looked at Shen Moru.
From the looks of it, Lan Jia didnât seem to like Shen Moru.
Shen Moru replied, âIâve already found it.â
âWhere is it?â
âPlease wait for a few moments, Saint Emperor. It will be brought here shortly.â Shen Moru acted quite humble and respectful in front of Lan Jia.
Lan Jia said âenâ in reply. Tang Doudou didnât know what exactly they were talking about, but she noticed that the anger in Lan Jiaâs eyes had eased a little after he heard that the object was being brought here.
That object was probably going to be used against her and Baili Yu. When Tang Doudou reached this conclusion, she couldnât help but start feeling nervous. After all, this was the territory of the Seven Great Saint Tribes. No matter how amazing Baili Yu was, he still wouldnât be able to handle so many enemies on his own.
As her thoughts reached this point, she glanced up to check Baili Yuâs expression only to see that Baili Yu had also glanced down at her in this moment.
âWife, donât worry. This husband wonât let them hurt you.â His eyes emitted gentle light.
He really was gentle, and very reliable as well.
Tang Doudou felt reassured and was no longer worried, so then she became bored.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for that object to arrive, she was the only one that seemed completely out of the loop.
As she thought about it, she couldnât help but become depressed. That in combination with the boredom caused her to yawn.
Baili Yu walked over and pulled her into his arms. âWife, if youâre tired, then just sleep for a while.â
Tang Doudou always felt safe in his presence, so she leaned into his sturdy and broad chest and soon fell asleep.
Upon seeing this, Lan Jia gave a cold humph, seeming very unhappy with Tang Doudouâs lack of concern in this situation. âAfter all this time, you ended up choosing a woman this dumb? You seriously have no taste!â
He had spoken quietly. From the looks of it, he didnât want to wake Tang Doudou up.
Baili Yu patted Tang Doudouâs back gently as he laughed softly. âOf course, my taste isnât as good as yours.â
Suddenly, his voice turned cold. âAfter all, you can take a liking to anything thatâs a woman. Just this is already something I can never hope to surpass.â
Lan Jiaâs expression changed when he heard this. âYou know about everything?â
âWhether I know or not isnât important.â Baili Yuâs tone eased again and seemed to contain a hint of a smile. However, no matter how one took it, it sounded like ridicule.
âHumph, youâre right, itâs not important.â Lan Jiaâs tone turned cold as well. âBaili Yu, youâve probably investigated your identity thoroughly, havenât you?â
âYes.â
âHumph! Then why are you still opposing me when Iâm your father? Why not just join me?â Lan Jiaâs words stunned Shen Moru. He was Baili Yuâs father?
What was going on?
The fact that Lan Jia had picked this time to talk about this matter showed that he had no intention of trying to conceal it any longer.
âAs long as you agree to collaborate with me, I wonât bother that girl from now on and Iâll also pass you the position of Saint Emperor. Howâs that?â
Shen Moru furrowed his brows. He felt that there was no way Lan Jia could possibly be so fair. When he looked towards Baili Yu, he saw that Baili Yuâs expression didnât change in the slightest in reaction to this offer.
When Lan Jia saw that Baili Yu wasnât swayed, he said, âI know that youâre not interested in being a Saint Emperor, but thereâs no way you donât care about this girl, am I right?â
This time, Baili Yu finally responded with, âCan you stop rambling so much? I wonât let you guys off if you interrupt my wifeâs dreams.â
Lan Jiaâs face immediately turned black.
âDonât think that Iâll go easy on you just because youâre my son. If you provoke meâ¦â Before he could even finish his words, a red light flashed and swept across Lan Jiaâs cheek, ripping off the black robe covering his head.
A face that was very similar to Baili Yuâs was revealed.
However, Lan Jia actually looked several years younger than Baili Yu. He looked no older than eighteen and his eyes also looked very youthful and pure. No matter how one looked, he didnât seem like Baili Yuâs father.
Something was off!
Baili Yu retrieved Blood Satan. It was stained with a bit of blood, so he wiped it off on the canopy nearby, then blew on the blade to help dry it. His actions looked very ruthless. âSon? Ha!â
Lan Jia glanced at the blood on Blood Satan, then slowly reached up to touch his face. The moist stickiness told him that he had indeed been injured. âHow unexpected, your martial arts has improved again.â
If that Blood Satan had been sent towards his neck, he would probably be dead by now.
âThatâs right ah, and isnât this all thanks to you?â Baili Yu put away Blood Satan, then continued patting Tang Doudou again.
Tang Doudou seemed to have been disturbed by this quarrel and was snuggling restlessly towards his chest like a little attached kitten. When Baili Yu saw this, he couldnât stop himself from lowering his head to peck those soft lips.
He was originally planning to just have a shallow taste, but the moment his lips made contact, he couldnât bear to move away and gradually deepened the kiss. He completely treated everyone else present as air.
The rumors that Baili Yuâs conduct was always unrestrained was sure enough true.
Lan Jiaâs face twitched and he turned away. How could his son have so little self-restraint? It was like he had never touched a woman before!
