The formidable being from the depths of the sea seemed to have no intention of beating around the bush; the purpose of his visit was stated outright and without delay.

However, the content of his declaration was too shocking— a suitor for the Eastern Sea, and these words came from the Old Dragon King himself. The implications were extraordinary.

Did this mean that the Old Dragon King had taken a liking to Li Xiaobai and had already decided to betroth the Eastern Sea’s young princess to him?

For a moment, the hearts of the many cultivators present were filled with mixed emotions. Long Xue, the pride of the Sea Clan, and Huahuo, the Oiran of Chunxiu Tower— these were goddess-like figures, saintesses in their hearts, not to be profaned.

But now, the ruler of the Eastern Sea had personally acknowledged a suitor, which was something they found hard to accept.

Those who had silently sworn in their hearts to protect their goddess were now faced with the sudden news of her impending marriage, causing the younger generation of Aolai Country to feel as if their world was beginning to crumble.

Although Li Xiaobai was indeed powerful and his background was shrouded in mystery, what made him worthy of the Old Dragon King’s personal endorsement as the suitor of the Eastern Sea?

“Li Xiaobai is the prospective suitor of the Eastern Sea?”

Not just the younger disciples, but even Huahuo and Master Rong were stunned. When had this happened, and how were they completely unaware of it?

So Li Xiaobai had this kind of identity and background— no wonder he was not at all afraid of them. He had his father-in-law’s support.

“Now that you know, stop the chatter. I’ll take the person, and the rest of you can go about your business!”

The owner of the azure dragon claw seemed extremely impatient, speaking roughly before once again extending a giant palm that blotted out the sky, heading straight for Li Xiaobai.

“Elder, let’s talk this through nicely!”

“I have no previous dealings with the Eastern Sea; how did I become its suitor?”

Watching the azure dragon claw bearing down with unstoppable force, Li Xiaobai’s figure retreated frantically. It was not a lie to say he was panicked; this was a top-level expert capable of rivaling the Vice Leader, and he was far from being his opponent.

“Boy, you reached the seventh floor of Linglong Pagoda and even entered Xue’er’s room. I want to see just what capabilities you have that managed to win the heart of my precious granddaughter!”

“But let me make one thing clear, if your performance is too poor, then just die!”

The aged voice was filled with an indisputable tone, causing Li Xiaobai’s hair to stand on end. This wasn’t a prompt for marriage, it was a death knell!

Before he could react, the azure-colored claw reaching out from the void pointed a finger steadily downward at Li Xiaobai, unleashing a terrifying spiritual pressure that in an instant tore the earth apart, pointing at Li Xiaobai’s body and sending him flying backward.

[Attribute Points +80000…]

“Puh!”

Among the rubble, Li Xiaobai coughed up blood and hastily swallowed all the elixirs he had hidden in his mouth. The injuries to his body recovered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His eyes were filled with astonishment. A simple finger increased his attribute points by eighty thousand, marking the most damage he had ever received since acquiring the System.

The power of the Old Dragon King was indeed infinitesimally close to that of the Vice Leader. It was fortunate that the latter had not truly intended to kill; otherwise, with that one blow just now, he might have already been lying dead without a complete corpse.

“Hmm?”

“He’s actually unharmed?”

“Kid, you’ve got some guts. Even though I only used a fraction of my power, the fact that you managed to withstand it is unexpected. You are indeed a man worthy of my granddaughter’s affection. Come with me to the sea!”

The ancient voice rang out once again, clearly tinged with a hint of surprise, obviously not expecting that Li Xiaobai could resist the previous assault.

“Nonsense. My relationship with Lady Long is pure and innocent!”

“What seventh floor of the Linglong Pagoda, what boudoir, it’s all babbling nonsense. I have no idea what you’re talking about!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Isn’t it shameful for someone of your stature to trouble a junior like me?”

Li Xiaobai was angry. That old thing from the seabed was acting high and mighty, not caring about his feelings at all.

He still had important plans ahead and couldn’t be stopped here. If he really got taken away by the Sea Clan’s big shot, it would be difficult to get out.

“Heh, putting on quite the act. You disguised yourself to steal the Luminous Pearl and broke into Xue’er’s boudoir to strip away all her clothes, ruining my precious granddaughter’s reputation. If you do not wish to come back with me, then you’ll only have death awaiting you here. And all the cultivators who know about this will be buried with you!”

The Azure Dragon’s giant claw in the void wasn’t in a hurry anymore; Li Xiaobai was interesting, and it decided to taunt him further.

Back in Aolai Country, Huahuo and Master Rong’s expressions changed upon hearing this. The Old Dragon King of the Sea Clan was known for his brutality and unpredictability. With Liuren absent, if the Old Dragon King truly decided to obliterate Aolai Country, they would not be able to resist.

“Ahem, Young Master Li, I see that your life is plagued by affairs of the heart; it’s destined that you face this ordeal. You should head to the Sea Dragon Palace. If there is any misunderstanding, just clarify things. The cultivators of the Sea Clan are all reasonable people; they will understand you.”

Vice Leader Master Rong turned her face and said to Li Xiaobai with a smile, her eyes, however, chillingly cold.

“Exactly. You must face the consequences of your actions. A woman’s reputation is her most precious possession, Young Master Li. I hope you take responsibility!”

“I hope you can act like a man, follow the elder, and become the Eastern Sea’s son-in-law. What a lucky thing that would be!” Great Family Head Huahuo added coolly, her eyes full of warning. Don’t make trouble, or else the Sea Clan won’t let you go, and neither will Aolai Country!

“I didn’t do it, it’s not me, stop slandering!”

“I, Li Xiaobai, have lived my life with a clear conscience. Everything you have said is utterly unfounded. I absolutely refuse to be the Eastern Sea’s son-in-law!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Xiaobai spoke in a grave voice, his wrist turning, several Smooth Travel Talismans appeared in his hand, a golden light flashed, and he instantly vanished from his spot.

But the next second he was stunned, before him was an Azure Dragon’s giant claw, and right now he was standing right in the palm of this enormous hand. He hadn’t been transported away, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea had used his powers to lock the space and transported him into his own palm seamlessly.

“Hehe, truth or falsehood, a soul search will reveal all.”

The ancient voice spoke lightly, as if everything were a matter of course, with the Azure Dragon’s giant claw slowly closing, ready to forcefully take Li Xiaobai away.

“Damn it, don’t push me; even I’m afraid of how fierce I can be!”

“Blustering is the sign of the weak.”

The Azure Dragon claw picked up Li Xiaobai and tossed him towards the Eastern Sea.

Li Xiaobai was frantic, having no power to resist the Azure Dragon claw. Before such a high-level being, his Hellfire was useless, and just as he was about to be dragged into the depths of the sea, he went all out, looked up to the sky and roared:

“Godzilla, finish off this Old Bangzi for me!”
