174: Eavesdropping on what's on your mind? Being a dad is tough!
Hun Kun Academy, Cloud Sea Square.
Although the various forces appeared harmonious on the surface, they were clearly divided.
But in the most central area, there was a strange sight.
Sea God Empress.
This overlord of the Endless Sea Region did not wear the majestic crown and robes symbolizing imperial power today, but instead wore a well-tailored deep blue dress.
The hem of the dress stacked like waves, swaying gently with her steps, outlining a graceful curve enough to make a Saint's Dao Heart falter.
With the demeanor of an elder Su Qingying, her dominance was natural.
But this Your Majesty bowed slightly, leading a jade-carved little girl by her side, her posture... actually revealing respect?
The girl was about five or six years old, born as lovely as snow and jade, with big, dark, rolling eyes that revealed a mischievous spirit.
Most eye-catching were the pair of crystal-clear, small Dragon horns on her forehead, looking as if they were carved from pink crystal.
"Is this the Sea God Empress?"
In the distance, behind a huge parasol tree, two sneaky little heads poked out.
They were Su Changge and Su Qingying.
Su Qingying blinked her big eyes, her gaze lingering on the little girl's Dragon horns for a long time, then she leaned into her Su Qingying's ear and sent a mysterious voice transmission.
"Su Qingying, look at that little girl."
"She looks so pretty, those Dragon horns... look just like Aunt Longer's."
Su Changge rubbed her chin with a serious expression, her eyes burning with the fierce flame of "gossip."
She looked the Sea God Empress up and down, then looked at the highly respected little girl, and a million-word drama of wealthy Family grievances played out in her mind.
"Qingying, you're too young."
Su Changge spoke with the tone of someone who had seen it all, sending a certain voice transmission:
"Look at the Sea God Empress's cautious manner, and then look at the girl's Dragon horns..."
"There is only one truth!"
Su Qingying cooperated by widening her eyes and holding her breath.
"This is a new Su Qingying Father found for us outside!"
"Ah?!"
Su Qingying's small mouth opened slightly in shock, almost crying out loud.
She hurriedly covered her mouth, her big eyes full of disbelief.
"No... no way? Father is that fertile?"
"How is that impossible?"
Su Changge curled her lip and began counting on her fingers.
"Think about it, didn't Aunt Longer say before that this Sea God Empress would also enter our Su Family's door in the future and become our aunt?"
"Since she's going to be an aunt, isn't it perfectly reasonable to have a daughter in advance and bring her back to recognize her ancestors?"
Su Qingying listened, stunned.
She looked into the distance again.
Although the Sea God Empress had a cold temperament, the way she occasionally looked into the Void Realm held a bit of a young woman's shyness and expectation.
And that Little Dragon Girl, though young, had an arrogance between her brows that was exactly the same as Father's!
"It seems... it's true."
Su Qingying believed it.
She looked at the charming "new aunt" and muttered softly.
"This aunt is so pretty, even prettier than the fairies in paintings... if it's true, I don't hate it."
At this point, she suddenly puffed out her cheeks and sent an angry voice transmission:
"It's just that Father is too bad!"
"He clearly has so many aunts already, yet he's still leaving his affections everywhere outside!"
Su Changge nodded in deep agreement... at the same time.
Above Hun Kun Academy, deep within the endless Void Realm.
Su Xuanchen was hiding his figure, standing with his hands behind his back, preparing to enjoy the upcoming Kunpeng drama.
Suddenly.
He stumbled, nearly falling from the clouds.
Those two childish yet resentful voice transmissions entered his ears with absolute clarity.
Su Xuanchen's incomparably handsome face quickly darkened.
"Pfft—"
A delicate laugh rang out beside him.
The Dragon Lady stood by Su Xuanchen's side, already laughing so hard she was trembling.
She held Su Xuanchen's shoulder with one hand and her stomach with the other, laughing until tears almost came out.
"Giggle... Husband, did you hear that?"
"Oh, I'm dying of laughter, our daughters are truly too cute."
The Dragon Lady's golden palace dress trembled from her intense laughter, outlining moving curves.
Looking at Su Xuanchen's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, she didn't restrain herself but instead teased him more wantonly:
"Husband, it seems your image in our daughters' eyes is quite grand."
"A bad Father... who leaves his affections everywhere?"
Below.
Although the Sea God Empress's cultivation was not as high as Su Xuanchen's, she was still a Supreme-level expert.
Those two unshielded voice transmissions were naturally intercepted by her as well.
When she heard "new aunt" and "illegitimate daughter."
This Empress who ruled over billions of sea tribes froze.
Her originally jade-white face suddenly flushed with two alluring red clouds that spread all the way to her ears.
She subconsciously looked up toward a certain spot in the Void Realm.
Her beautiful eyes rippled, seemingly shy yet reproachful, but also with an indescribable hint of expectation.
That momentary charm made the surrounding spiritual flowers pale in comparison.
In the Void Realm.
Su Xuanchen looked at the Sea God Empress below, whose face was as red as an apple, and then at the Dragon Lady beside him, who was doubled over with laughter.
He felt that the Old Ancestor's dignity had been challenged like never before.
"Very well."
Su Xuanchen ground his teeth and let out a dangerous low laugh.
"Even you dare to make fun of your husband?"
He reached out and grabbed the Dragon Lady's slender, soft waist, pulling her into his arms.
The Dragon Lady cried out, having no time to react.
"Slap!"
A crisp, loud sound echoed in the silent Void Realm.
Su Xuanchen's large hand unceremoniously slapped her pert, plump buttocks.
The feel was excellent.
The elasticity was amazing.
"Ah!"
The Dragon Lady's body trembled, and her face instantly turned completely red, like a cooked shrimp.
She was embarrassed to death, her beautiful eyes watery as she glared at Su Xuanchen reproachfully.
"Husband! You... what are you doing!"
"We're outside!"
"You know we're outside?"
Su Xuanchen leaned into her ear, his warm breath spraying on her sensitive earlobe, his voice low and domineering.
"Daring to gossip about your husband, this is the Family law."
"What? Not convinced?"
As he spoke, he made a move as if to raise his hand again.
"I am! I'm convinced!"
The Dragon Lady was so frightened her face lost its color, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.
Her body went soft as water, leaning into Su Xuanchen's embrace, her eyes rippling with overflowing charm.
"Husband is the best... spare Longer this once..."
That voice was so seductive it made Su Xuanchen's heart flare up.
He took a breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
This was indeed not the place for official business.
"I'll keep this debt on the books for now."
Su Xuanchen scratched the tip of her pert nose, his gaze alluring.
"When we get back tonight, we'll settle it slowly."
"At that time, it won't be something that can be resolved in just one or two hits."
The Dragon Lady understood his implication and was so ashamed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
She didn't dare stay any longer; her figure flashed, turning into a golden light, and she fled the scene of trouble.
Only a faint fragrance remained in the air... Below, behind the parasol tree.
Su Changge was speaking excitedly, spit flying as she analyzed her father's love history.
Suddenly.
She noticed a ripple in the surrounding space.
Immediately after, a familiar, shyly annoyed delicate laugh faintly reached her ears.
Was that... Aunt Longer's voice?
And that crisp "slap"... Su Changge's body froze.
An ominous premonition shot from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
"Not good!"
Her expression changed drastically, and she slapped her hand over Su Qingying's mouth, who was still chattering away.
"Mmph mmph mmph!"
Su Qingying was in the middle of her excitement when she was suddenly attacked. She widened her eyes in dissatisfaction, her small hands desperately pulling at her Su Qingying's hand.
"Don't talk!"
Su Changge lowered her voice, which was trembling.
She pointed to the sky above, her small face as white as paper.
"Father... is in the sky!"
"He... he's watching us!"
What?!
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She instantly turned to stone, her big eyes wide with terror.
Just now... what did she say just now?
Su Qingying felt as if the sky was falling.
Before her eyes appeared the image of her father, who usually smiled but was actually "very petty," holding the Family law and looking at her with a "kind" face.
"It's over, it's over..."
Su Qingying spoke with a sob, her calves trembling.
"Father will definitely punish me by making me copy the Family rules... ten thousand times!"
"Shut up!"
Su Changge hurriedly covered her mouth again, fearing this girl would say something even more rebellious.
"Quick! Apologize!"
The two Su Qingyings looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized; they pressed their hands together, closed their eyes toward the sky, and began to pray frantically.
Their attitude was so devout it was more exaggerated than worshipping a god.
"Father, I was wrong!"
"Father is wise, brave, elegant, and the best father in the whole world!"
"Your daughter's heart was blinded just now, I was talking nonsense!"
"Please have mercy, Father, and spare your daughter this once!"
The two of them shivered, full of regret.
Just then.
A gentle, fragrant wind quietly blew past.
"Alright, don't be afraid."
A familiar figure appeared behind them.
Although Aunt Longer had just been "disciplined" and still had a lingering flush on her face, her eyes were full of doting as she looked at these two frightened girls.
She reached out her jade hand and gently rubbed the tops of the Su Qingyings' heads.
"Don't talk about your father behind his back like that anymore, okay?"
"Although he... ahem, although he is indeed a bit bad sometimes, he is sincere toward you."
"Mhmm mhmm mhmm!"
The Su Qingyings felt as if they had been granted a grand pardon, nodding their heads frantically like chickens pecking at rice.
"We know! We won't dare to do it again!"
"Aunt Longer is the best!"
One on each side, they threw themselves into Aunt Longer's warm embrace, moved to tears.
Aunties are still the best!
Fathers and the like are too scary!
Aunt Longer comforted the two little girls, secretly amused.
This father and his two daughters were simply natural enemies.
And after being moved.
Su Changge and Su Qingying lay in Aunt Longer's arms and quietly looked at each other.
Indignation flashed in both of their eyes at the same time.
"Hmph!"
"Eavesdropping on his daughters' conversation!"
"Father is truly too detestable!"
...On the other side.
Su Family, Purple Heaven Palace.
This palace, which was usually full of laughter, now seemed deserted.
Su Yaoyao sat alone on a stone bench in the courtyard.
She wore a purple training suit, resting her chin in her hands, looking bored at the drifting clouds in the sky.
"Sigh..."
This was already the eighteenth time she had sighed.
"So boring."
Su Yaoyao casually picked up a pebble and threw it into the pond in front of her, causing a ripple that startled several koi fish.
"Su Changge and Qingying have all gone to Hun Kun Academy to play, leaving me alone at home to watch the house."
"Father is biased!"
She puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, her small face full of discontent.
Although Father had repeatedly exhorted her before leaving to stay at home, consolidate her cultivation, and not go out to cause trouble.
But... that's the Kunpeng Secret Realm!
The Legacy of one of the ten ancient fierce beasts!
Just hearing about it makes one's blood boil, okay!
"Am I just going to sit here?"
Su Yaoyao stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard like a little tiger trapped in a cage.
Her mischievous heart, which feared nothing more than a lack of chaos, had already flown hundreds of millions of miles away to Hun Kun Academy.
"I heard many Prodigies are coming this time, and even that Successor of the Immortal Palace..."
"If I could go and beat them up, it would definitely be satisfying."
The more she thought about it, the more her heart itched.
On one side was her father's strict order.
On the other side was the immense Opportunity that could stir the heavens, along with countless sandbags to practice on.
For a battle maniac, this was simply torture.
After hesitating for a long time.
Su Yaoyao stopped walking, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"Hmph!"
She wrinkled her small nose and found a perfect excuse for herself.
"Father only said to stay at home, he didn't say I couldn't go out for a stroll."
"Besides, I'm going to help my Su Qingyings!"
"What if someone bullies them? As their Su Qingying, how can I sit idly by?"
"Yes! That's it!"
Su Yaoyao thought about it more and more, and her eyes grew brighter.
"As long as I disguise myself well, don't attract attention, and sneak out for a look, it should... be fine, right?"
No sooner said than done.
Su Yaoyao turned and rushed into her room, rummaging through her things.
"This one won't do, it's too conspicuous."
"This one won't do either, this is material unique to the Su Family."
A moment later.
She found a black dharma robe she had bought outside that could conceal her aura.
Putting on the robe, she pulled a mask out of her storage ring.
A flash of light.
The originally peerless and noble second Young Miss of the Su Family was gone.
In her place was a girl with a clear face and an ordinary aura, someone you couldn't find if thrown into a crowd.
Su Yaoyao looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"Perfect!"
She lowered her voice, imitating the tone of a Jianghu swordsman.
"From now on, I am the Loose Cultivator... Lin Yaoyao!"
"Hun Kun Academy, this young lady is coming!"
Her figure flashed, turning into an inconspicuous flow of light as she avoided the Family guards and quietly slipped away toward Hun Kun Academy.
In the wind, only her excited whisper remained.
"Kunpeng Legacy... I, Su Yaoyao, will definitely have a share!"
