Qi Yu nuzzled Yan Hua.
Si Qing also nuzzled Yan Hua.
Chen Xi draped himself over Yan Hua's head.
Shao Feng watched from the side, suddenly feeling that coiling around Yan Hua would be very secure.
"What are you looking at me like that for? You're not going to join in too, are you?" Yan Hua looked at Shao Feng with disbelief.
Shao Feng quickly shook his head.
Yan Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it, you're the Dragon King, you shouldn't be so shameless."
Qi Yu, Si Qing, and Chen Xi all giggled.
Yan Hua rolled his eyes: "What are you laughing at? I'm calling you shameless, can't you tell?"
"Master Zun Zun," Qi Yu drawled affectionately.
"Yan Hua Hua," Chen Xi also drawled affectionately, his dragon head nuzzling Yan Hua's dragon horn.
Si Qing nuzzled Yan Hua's chin: "Master Zun Zun."
Unable to truly do anything to the three of them, Yan Hua was about to explode!
That evening, during dinner.
Qi Yu and Si Qing sat on chairs, swinging their legs while eating.
Chen Xi dined elegantly.
An Nuo sat beside Shao Feng and lowered his voice: "The West Sea Dragon King's family isn't here to eat either. Should we send someone to their room with food later?"
"They'll probably come out to eat, right?" Shao Feng was unsure. "Who knows. Don't ask for now. If they really don't come out, have someone go in later and tell them they can order a meal anytime they're hungry."
Actually, their so-called eating was just a ritual. It was an opportunity to have a small drink, some tea, eat something they liked, and chat about what happened that day, which would be more relaxing.
Therefore, the purpose of eating was not necessarily to be full, nor was it mandatory.
Thus, Shao Feng didn't pay much attention.
However, after about fifteen minutes, the West Sea Dragon King and his wife, along with Chu Xian, arrived.
Following behind them were Jin Yan, who looked quite furious, and Jing Xiu, whose cheeks were swollen and whose lips were bleeding from being slapped.
"Good heavens, what happened?" An Nuo was startled by Jing Xiu's pathetic state.
Turning to see Jin Yan, An Nuo finally remembered the reason and couldn't help but frown.
Jin Yan was too ruthless.
Jing Xiu was still young. If she was beaten like this every day, she would be terrified.
"She deserves it," Jin Yan glanced at the trembling Jing Xiu. "This is the consequence of disobeying me and leaving the West Sea without permission."
"...But," An Nuo pursed his lips. "Jing Xiu is still young. Isn't this too harsh?"
"These ignorant brats need a beating," Jin Yan glared at Jing Xiu. "If I don't beat her, she'll disrespect her elders and run off to the heavens as she pleases."
"Jing Xiu, did I hit you hard?"
Ling Ru, hiding inside Jing Xiu's body, shivered at the words and tremblingly replied, "Not hard."
Yan Hua frowned. "You've beaten her to this state, what else can she say?"
"This is precisely why I beat her," Jin Yan curled his lips. "I beat her until she's scared, so she'll do and say what she's told, instead of talking back."
Yan Hua looked incredulous.
Chen Xi pouted.
Qi Yu didn't want to court trouble at this moment. She didn't respond or look up, eating obediently, preparing to take Si Qing back to their room after finishing.
But Jin Yan clearly had no intention of letting her off. Seeing that Qi Yu remained silent, he propped his chin on one hand and dropped a bombshell: "Qi Yu, is it? Let's spar later. I want to see your progress."
Yan Hua was about to speak.
But Qi Yu responded with a "Yes."
