Chen Xi, seeing that Yan Hua remained silent, couldn't help but feel strange. "Yan Hua, why aren't you speaking? Did I say something wrong? Every time you get angry at those two, your expression is just like this dark cloud."
Yan Hua reached out and covered Chen Xi's mouth. "Stop talking. Your words stir up the violence within me, making me want to hit you."
Chen Xi let out an "oh" and stood still obediently.
In a short while, they arrived at the thirteenth heaven.
Inside the thirteenth heaven.
Si Qing's clone dissipated automatically after completing its mission, turning into dust and vanishing.
When Yan Hua and Chen Xi arrived, Jin Yan and Yu Yuan were running around, struck by heavenly lightning.
The air in the thirteenth heaven was still filled with Qi Yu's angry roars: "You two are fighting tooth and nail over a single pastry, isn't that too much?"
"It's just a pastry!"
"Especially you two, fighting for so long before revealing the truth. Do you really think my time is so abundant that you can waste it as you please!"
Qi Yu's eleven faces were contorted with effort. The dark clouds in the sky rumbled with her words, and then bolts of heavenly lightning struck down one after another.
Chen Xi watched Jin Yan and Yu Yuan, their heads covered in bumps from the lightning strikes, still running around the thirteenth heaven. He couldn't hold back, squatting on the ground and laughing until tears streamed down his face.
Yan Hua, after holding back for a long time, finally couldn't anymore. He covered his face and leaned against something, bursting into laughter.
Jin Yan quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Qi Yu, you're unfair! Why is the heavenly lightning only chasing me? Isn't the key issue that that guy stole a piece of my pastry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down.
"Alright, alright, the pastry isn't important. I really shouldn't have fought with him like this. Then, it should be fine to fight outside the thirteenth heaven next time, right?"
The response was another bolt of heavenly lightning.
Jin Yan yelped as he was struck by the lightning.
Yu Yuan, who was gloating nearby, immediately had a bolt of lightning strike his head as well.
Yu Yuan was struck into a sunflower, with black smoke still rising from his mouth.
Chen Xi covered his face, his stomach aching from laughter, rolling on the ground.
After laughing enough, Yan Hua finally managed to compose himself, putting on a stern face and saying to Jin Yan and Yu Yuan, "How could you do this? Arguing over such a trivial matter, what kind of conduct is this!"
"Yan Hua! Can you look at the current situation before saying that? Is the main problem that we were arguing before? The main problem now is the heavenly lightning!" Yu Yuan said, winking frantically at Yan Hua, trying to get him to appease Qi Yu, who was in a rage.
Yan Hua glanced silently in Qi Yu's direction.
Qi Yu glared back fiercely.
Yan Hua shrugged, looking at Jin Yan and Yu Yuan with an expression of helplessness. "She's so fierce, I'm scared."
Yu Yuan cursed, "What are you scared of, what are you scared of? How fake! Yan Hua, you have no heart! You don't even care about your younger brother anymore?! How can you be like this? Even a fierce tiger doesn't eat its cubs!"
Yan Hua retorted, "Am I your son? You're not my son, so what does 'a fierce tiger doesn't eat its cubs' have to do with me?"
Yu Yuan was momentarily speechless, unable to find a retort.
Jin Yan, who had been about to join in the banter, couldn't help but burst out laughing at this remark.
"Hahaha, 'a fierce tiger doesn't eat its cubs,' pfft, Yu Yuan, you really know how to say it." Jin Yan teased Yu Yuan, "When did you decide you wanted to lower your generation and be Yan Hua's son? I'm not your uncle."
"Who wants him as a son?" Yan Hua also teased Yu Yuan, "If Si Qing wanted to be my son, I'd be willing. But someone like him, wanting to be my son, I'd feel like I was losing face."
Yu Yuan, who had only recently returned to human form, heard this and immediately reverted to his original form, pouncing with a roar.
Yan Hua didn't indulge him either, also reverting to his original form and biting Yu Yuan's neck with a growl.
Yu Yuan struggled fiercely.
Once Yan Hua had him coiled, he stopped moving, watching with leisurely amusement.
Yu Yuan finally grew tired and stopped struggling, slumping there like a useless dragon.
Chen Xi, having laughed enough, couldn't help but walk over to comfort him. "Yu Yuan, you should be used to it. Ever since you were little, you've never won a fight against Yan Hua."
Jin Yan laughed wildly beside them.
Just as Yu Yuan was about to retort, he suddenly felt as if his fate had been grasped by the scruff of his neck.
He looked back and saw Qi Yu with a smile on her face.
Qi Yu, controlling divine power, grabbed Yu Yuan. "It doesn't seem like a time for fooling around. Could you please clean up all the mess you've made?"
Yu Yuan nodded with a wronged expression and was dragged away by Qi Yu.
Jin Yan wanted to take this opportunity to escape to the mortal realm, never to return to the thirteenth heaven.
However, before he could get far, he was called back by Qi Yu!
"You come back here and help clean!" Qi Yu casually picked up a mop and threw it at him.
Jin Yan tried to resist, but his divine power was no match for hers. Finally, under the pressure of her Heavenly Dao, he could only grunt and then silently began to clear away the broken bricks and tiles on the ground.
Meanwhile, on the ninth heaven.
Sui You took Xiao Chang Ge to report to the clan school.
They had originally planned to go tomorrow morning, but considering that Chang Ge still had many things to acquire, a single day might not be enough. So, Sui You brought Xiao Chang Ge to report today.
Many other young cubs from different races were also reporting on the same day.
Those cubs had features of their respective races on their heads and looked around curiously, just like Xiao Chang Ge.
Xiao Chang Ge held Sui You's hand.
Sui You looked at Xiao Chang Ge. After a detailed conversation with the clan school teacher, he finally bent down and discussed with Xiao Chang Ge:
"Before entering the clan school, you need to undergo a talent test. Do you want to do it?"
Sui You adopted a more relaxed approach to Xiao Chang Ge's education, allowing her to make her own choices.
Xiao Chang Ge didn't quite understand what it meant, but seeing that other children were lining up for the test, she instinctively nodded.
Sui You released her hand and let her follow and join the queue.
When it was Xiao Chang Ge's turn, she followed the instructions and stood in the center of the formation.
She clutched the hem of her skirt with her small hands, feeling a little nervous.
Initially, the formation remained still, not shining brightly as it had for the other cubs.
Whispers and discussions from other cubs could be heard all around.
Sui You was thinking of finding a topic to ease Xiao Chang Ge's discomfort, but before he could speak, he saw that the formation under Xiao Chang Ge's feet had already begun to emit a faint light.
Everyone present fell silent.
Sui You held his breath, watching Xiao Chang Ge.
As the light from the formation under Xiao Chang Ge's feet grew stronger and stronger, the teacher responsible for testing talents began to announce the results.
