Chapter 113: Training Little Nezha

Dad, we've sneaked out again behind Mom's back—what do we do if we get caught?

Wearing a little bellyband, draped in the Heaven-Entwining Sash, Xiao Nezha followed beside Ao Yifan as they flew toward the depths of the East Sea.

Naturally, it's to give you some confidence!

Ao Yifan said noncommittally.

"Find confidence?"

Xiao Nezha looked puzzled.

"Nezha!"

Hovering steadily in midair, Ao Yifan looked at the well-behaved little Xiao Nezha and said, "During this time you've been cultivating with your mother, she's made you lack confidence. Remember, you are my most proud child. In the future, our old Ao family will still have to rely on you to hold things up."

Ao Yifan's words were indeed true, for Madam Yin's indulgent love for Nezha, combined with the suppression of Taiyi Golden Immortal's power, caused little Nezha to lose the demon pill's arrogance, instead becoming a well-behaved child.

In response, Ao Yifan prepared to give him proper training so he could regain his confidence.

"Dad, you wouldn't have said all this to my older brothers, would you?"

Suddenly, Xiao Nezha looked at Ao Yifan and asked.

Hearing this, Ao Yifan's expression stiffened slightly; he hadn't expected this kid to be so clever.

Indeed, he had said those words earlier to Jin Tuo and Ao Qian as well; but in Ao Yifan's view, this was his encouragement for the children, and also a necessary education for them.

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

Ao Yifan said sternly: "Dad just wants you to know that the children of our old Ao family need to be a bit domineering—don't be a well-behaved child; come, learn from Dad!"

Saying this, Ao Yifan stood arrogantly, arms crossed, looking down with a condescending attitude.

"Pay attention to Dad's moves and gaze—you must learn them well!"

Ao Yifan said.

"Oh!"

The half-understanding Xiao Nezha strove to imitate Ao Yifan's movements.

However, the little toddler in a bellyband doing that move certainly couldn't be called domineering; instead, it looked rather cute.

However, a good start is half the battle, and Ao Yifan nodded approvingly.

"Mm, keep this state, Dad will take you to a practical drill!"

Ao Yifan nodded satisfied.

Having said that, Ao Yifan took Xiao Nezha and flew deeper into the East Sea.

Madam Yin accompanied Nezha's growth, Taiyi True Person taught him cultivation, and as the old father, Ao Yifan naturally needed to teach him the way of survival.

After all, Ao Yifan has always felt that healthy flowers cannot be raised in a greenhouse, except by himself.

Therefore, what Ao Yifan needed to do was to take him to see the cruelty of this world.

Nowadays, the Four Seas Dragon Clan has submitted to Ao Yifan, continually consolidating the power of the Four Seas aquatic tribes.

However, there are always some unruly targets that Ao Yifan deliberately left behind for everyone to practice on.

"Xiao Nezha, down there is a small tribe of man-eating sharks; wipe them out for your father!"

Ao Yifan pointed at the man-eating shark tribe below and said.

"Got it, Dad, I understand!"

Xiao Nezha grinned, and in the next moment, as he gestured with his right hand, a flame blossomed from his palm and a fire-tip spear shot forth instantly.

Boom—

The flames swept forth, forming a huge fireball that plunged into the sea.

Who goes there?

The tribe was destroyed, his underlings slain in droves, and the man-eating shark chief's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam.

But when he saw that the one attacking their tribe was merely a human child, he couldn't help but stare in surprise.

"Little brat, you dare to attack our man-eating sharks? Don't you know our favorite snack is human children?"

The man-eating shark chief's face showed a cruel smile.

Whoosh—

But in response to the man-eating shark chief, it was Xiao Nezha's sharp spear.

So fast!

His arm aching, the man-eating shark chief barely dodged Xiao Nezha's spear, but one of his shark arms was completely crippled.

"Damn it, little brat, who exactly are you? We have no grudge against you—why are you attacking us?"

The man-eating shark chief was both startled and angry.

He was shocked by the human child's strength, and angry that, though he seemed to have provoked no offense, the other party dealt a lethal blow on first contact—this was too ruthless!

"My dad said I am the pillar of the family; when fighting, there's no room for talk—die!"

Along the way, Ao Yifan taught Xiao Nezha many things.

This also turned the originally well-behaved Xiao Nezha into a fierce little tyke.

"This kid is a killing god!"

Facing Xiao Nezha's gaze, the man-eating shark chief whose shark arm had been severed felt a chill, immediately revealing his true form as he slapped his tail, raising a wave that turned into water blades slicing toward Xiao Nezha.

After doing all that, the man-eating shark chief hardly hesitated before turning to flee.

At that moment, a golden-yellow ring broke through the water blades in the air and instantly appeared above the man-eating shark chief's head.

What?

Before he could react, the golden-yellow ring smashed heavily into his head.

A wave of dizziness and vertigo; when the man-eating shark chief regained consciousness, his body was already bound by the golden-yellow ring.

At the same time, that fierce little tyke was hoisting a long spear much taller than himself, standing atop his head.

The weather has turned cool lately; Mother is patrolling Chentang Pass and also needs a handsome leather armor—your shark-skin outfit is not bad!

Xiao Nezha's words startled the leader of the man-eating shark.

Without waiting for him to beg for mercy, Xiao Nezha ruthlessly drove the fire-tip spear in his hand into his brain.

This kid, could he have a talent for clothing design?

Watching Xiao Nezha carefully fold the shark skin, Ao Yifan secretly thought to himself.

Dad, how did Zha'er do?

Xiao Nezha flew to Ao Yifan's side.

Not bad!

He rubbed Xiao Nezha's head, and Ao Yifan nodded in satisfaction.

However, there are still some flaws in the details; you previously...

Ao Yifan brought Xiao Nezha back to Chentang Pass while giving him a post-battle debrief.

Huh? How do you know this leather armor was personally sewn by my good Zha'er?

Riding the flood dragon horse, Lady Yin's face smiled like a flower.

Originally, she intended to scold Nezha a couple of times for sneaking out with his father.

But after Nezha produced the leather armor he had personally cut from shark skin, the words of reproach simply wouldn't come out.

Today, Lady Yin, who was patrolling Chentang Pass in leather armor, would bring this up to everyone she met, regardless of whether they asked.

There's nothing she can do; she's proud of this filial child, Nezha.

But while Lady Yin was happy, Taiyi True Person was troubled.

I say, Nezha, what's wrong with you? Your appearance frightens even your master!

Seeing Nezha standing on a large boulder, arms crossed, gazing coldly downward with a grim expression, Taiyi True Person felt it was very unfamiliar.

Is this still the good baby in Lady Yin's arms?

Could it be that the demon pill's nature has awakened?

But how could Taiyi True Person know that all this was the result of Ao Yifan's training?
