Chapter 167: The Sea King
Chapter 167: The Sea King
In the Prosperous City Sea...
Lu Wu was being tossed around like a volleyball by the Little Goldfish, and everyone watching was left dumbfounded, except for a few.
Zhang Wentao was initially tense and ready to rescue Lu Wu, but Zhao Kaiming held him back.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Wentao asked angrily, wondering if Zhao Kaiming was trying to get Lu Wu killed.
Zhao Kaiming pointed to the little skeleton, who seemed unaffected or completely indifferent to the situation.
Zhang Wentao was stunned, and upon closer inspection, he realized that Lu Wu, despite being tossed around, was shouting loudly, but his robust voice suggested he wasn't injured.
The Little Goldfish was clearly holding back its strength.
If it hadn't, Lu Wu, with his amateur skills, would have been knocked out by the Little Goldfish in an instant.
Once Zhang Wentao realized this, he couldn't help but laugh.
It was evident that Lu Wu and the Little Goldfish had taken a liking to each other, albeit in a peculiar way.
While Zhang Wentao laughed, many others around him were close to tears.
Fang Bai and his group were devastated, as the fish they were about to catch had slipped through their fingers.
Their minds were buzzing, unable to comprehend where they had gone wrong.
Were their summoned beasts weaker than Lu Wu?
As they pondered further, they realized that the Little Goldfish had been targeting Lu Wu's face and buttocks, and they wondered if they had lost due to their appearance or some unmentionable attributes.
This thought made them even more frustrated.
While Fang Bai's group was disappointed, Xu Tian and Zhu Qing were on the verge of vomiting blood.
They had inferred from the interaction between the Little Goldfish and Lu Wu that the fish might have belonged to Lu Wu from the start.
In other words, they had offered twenty exchange student slots, only to compete for someone else's 'wife' in the end.
It was no wonder they felt terrible inside.
The two couldn't help but stir up trouble, at the very least to reclaim the exchange student slots they had given away.
At that moment, the young man on the Dragon's back spoke calmly, "Since everything has been settled, let's head back.
Principal Zhang, the exchange student slots will take effect immediately, and we welcome the exchange students whenever you send them."
The young man left with these words, leading Team 044 away.
Xu Tian and Zhu Qing were caught off guard by this sudden interruption and lost their momentum.
They felt it was inappropriate to cause a scene now that the young man had acknowledged Lu Wu's ownership.
Furthermore, they vaguely sensed that the young man on the Dragon's back might have known all along that the Little Goldfish already had an owner.
In this situation, the exchange student slots he offered were likely intended for the person below.
This implied a connection between the young man on the Dragon's back and the person below.
If a real conflict arose, the young man might return to give them a slap.
So, when the young man on the Dragon's back left, Xu Tian and Zhu Qing followed, along with the others from Jiangnan, who had also witnessed the scene.
Soon, only Lu Wu, still being tossed around, and Zhang Wentao's group remained at the scene.
Of course, Lu Wu was unaware of all this.
He had no time to worry about such things.
At this moment, he deeply experienced the skill of a master-level practitioner.
Despite being thrown around for over ten meters and subjected to the Little Goldfish's relentless attacks, Lu Wu felt dizzy but remained unharmed.
However, even without injuries, this situation was unbearable for Lu Wu!
He was overwhelmed, feeling like he was on a malfunctioning roller coaster, unsure if the Little Goldfish would catch him or let him fall.
Lu Wu was frantic, but the Little Goldfish seemed to enjoy it more as it continued its assault. Lu Wu's pleas fell on deaf ears.
The little skeleton, upon hearing Lu Wu's call, rushed over, only to be tossed into the air by the Little Goldfish.
The Little Goldfish now had two balls to juggle, alternating between Lu Wu and the little skeleton, nearly giving Lu Wu a heart attack.
What infuriated Lu Wu even more was that the little skeleton seemed to be enjoying itself.
Fortunately, Zhang Wentao wasn't just laughing; he acted promptly to rescue Lu Wu from this embarrassing situation.
After being tossed around for so long, Lu Wu finally touched the ground, and the relief brought tears to his eyes.
His two little companions also felt a sense of regret.
The Little Goldfish seemed dissatisfied with the brief encounter, and the little skeleton shared the sentiment.
Evidently, the little guy considered this a fun game.
It even looked at Lu Wu, asking if he wanted another round.
Lu Wu glared at the little skeleton, his anger evident. He strode over and gave the little skeleton three firm knocks on its skull.
"I'll teach you! I'll teach you! I'll teach you!"
After venting his frustration on the skeleton, Lu Wu turned to face Xiao Jinyu.
Xiao Jinyu had already given him a good beating, and now she was in a huff.
She turned her back to Lu Wu, clearly indicating she didn't want to deal with him. Her posture conveyed a message: "I'm not talking to you."
Lu Wu glanced at Xiao Jinyu's demeanor, and the word that came to mind was 'pamper'. His head buzzed with thoughts. Where did this little wife come from? Who taught Xiao Jinyu this behavior? After beating him up, she still wanted to be pampered?
Lu Wu had no choice but to approach and pick up the little creature.
Despite Xiao Jinyu's fierce attacks, she was actually palm-sized, and Lu Wu could easily cup her in his hands.
Xiao Jinyu's body was cool to the touch, and holding her felt incredibly soothing. Lu Wu felt his heart melt as he cradled her.
Initially, Xiao Jinyu seemed reluctant to be held by Lu Wu.
Like a pouting little wife, she squirmed, trying to jump out of his palm.
If a young woman acted this way, Lu Wu might not know how to respond, but with Xiao Jinyu, he had a solution.
As a man with a golden touch, Lu Wu could perceive Xiao Jinyu's state clearly. After all, he was destined to become the Sea King of Summoned Beasts.
He not only didn't release her but held Xiao Jinyu tightly, whispering, "Let's go home. I'll take you back."
In the world of summoning beasts, a single glance could reveal the true nature of a creature.
With just a few words, Xiao Jinyu was at his mercy...
...
While Lu Wu had Xiao Jinyu under control, on the young man's back, the young dragon rider had already dropped off Team 044 and was making a call.
On the other end, a woman's voice exuded a mature and commanding presence.
"Well? Is it the one he took away back then?"
"Yes, it seems to be the same one," the young man replied, nodding as he thought about Xiao Jinyu.
This response caused a brief silence on the other end.
After a moment, the voice asked, "Where's the child? What's their relationship? Is he a disciple or an adopted son?"
The young man recalled Lu Wu's recent behavior towards Xiao Jinyu.
His lips twitched, and he wondered if he should admit that he felt like the boy was his own.
Considering the potential consequences, the young man decided it was best to feign ignorance. The caller also seemed uninterested in getting an answer from him.
"Never mind, I don't need to know these trivial matters.
Since he has contracted with that summoned beast, you should get him to come over soon.
Also, avoid excessive contact with him for now. Don't let that woman suspect anything.
If she catches on, you know the consequences!"
After saying this, the caller abruptly hung up, leaving the young man confused and helpless.
Before he could recover, another call came in within minutes.
This time, a voice filled with regal authority spoke.
"Liu Cheng! You're doing well, aren't you!"
No, I'm not doing well! The young man, or Liu Cheng, broke into a cold sweat at the sound of her voice.
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? Then tell me, why are you in Jiangnan?"
"I..."
Liu Cheng started to explain that he had brought Team 044 to pick peaches, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
He remembered that Jiangnan was her territory.
He couldn't use that excuse, as it would be like slapping her in the face.
Saying that would be disastrous, but not saying it seemed equally problematic.
"Speak up, why are you hesitating?"
"Well, I came to Jiangnan because I sensed the birth of a dragon-blooded summoned beast, so I wanted to take a look."
Liu Cheng had no choice but to fabricate a story to save his life.
"Did you sense it, or did she sense it? Or did he notify you?"
The caller's voice carried a hint of expectation.
Liu Cheng understood what she was hoping for, but it wasn't the case.
"I can't hide it from you. It was her who sensed it."
Liu Cheng didn't dare mention the other party's name in front of this person, fearing it would anger her.
But even without mentioning the name, she became upset.
"So, you're helping an outsider deceive your master's wife?"
At that moment, Liu Cheng felt like he was about to have a brain hemorrhage.
He finally understood the kind of life his unreliable master had been living.
This also made Liu Cheng believe for the first time that his master's teachings came from the heart.
Men should never be jerks!
