Chapter 116: Unfamiliar Demon Tribe

"Dad, are you leaving?"

Xiao Yangchan, who was enjoying the pastries Ao Yifan had sent over, heard that Ao Yifan was preparing to leave, and her face was full of reluctance.

After all, she didn't understand why her father always came and left in a hurry, never staying to sleep with her and her mother.

"Well, I have to go, after all, I still need to figure out how to rescue Chan'er and your mother!"

Ao Yifan said.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Yangchan nodded somewhat dejectedly.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, Fairy Maiden Yunying called out to Ao Yifan.

Hearing this, Ao Yifan looked somewhat surprised at Fairy Maiden Yunying.

Facing Ao Yifan's gaze, Fairy Maiden Yunying's face reddened further, yet she still asked, "Um, do you have any new clothes left?"

There was no way; her clothes were dirty, and for the cleanliness-obsessed Fairy Maiden Yunying, this was truly unbearable.

Hearing this, Ao Yifan seemed to understand something, and took out another set of clothing, saying, "These were originally prepared for your older female cousin; if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind!"

She felt terribly uncomfortable, and even if the clothes were tight, Fairy Maiden Yunying didn't care at this moment.

"As expected, Yunhua's clothes are really too tight for Yunying!"

Ao Yifan thought to himself, but he merely glanced a few times openly, then bade farewell to Yangchan and left.

"He, he's getting bolder and bolder!"

……

"What's going on?"

When Ao Yifan returned to Chentang Pass, seeing the little ones with miserable faces, he couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

"Dad!"

A group of boys and girls saw Ao Yifan and couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"Dad, could you plead with Madam for us? Madam sealed our magical power, and we've been stuck here doing horse stances for two hours!"

A girl pleaded pitifully.

"What? Did you make Madam angry again?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile: "Go on, what did you do this time?"

"Dad, we just took Nezha to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for drinks, really we didn't cause trouble!"

A boy said.

"Well, then I can't control you, you know Madam is angry, and I can't do anything either!"

Ao Yifan stomped his foot, turned, and ran toward the separate residence of Fairy Maiden Yunhua and Princess Longji.

After all, no need to think; at this moment Madam Yin was inside scolding Nezha, probably even hitting his buttocks with a bamboo board.

If I go over now, won't I suffer an undeserved disaster?

"Eh? Chenying, perfect, come along!"

To be honest, accompanying Fairy Maiden Yunying was also quite uncomfortable for Ao Yifan; seeing Chenying, whose figure was closest to Fairy Maiden Yunying's, he didn't let the opportunity pass.

……

"Damn it, damn it!"

Heavenly realm, Jade Pool, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool's face was extremely grim.

Meanwhile, the Seven Fairies at her side were innocent.

After all, whenever this happens, they are the ones who suffer.

"Qing'e, Wanluo, come over!"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool beckoned with her hand.

Hearing this, the two women's faces stiffened slightly.

……

"You mean, recently on the East Sea, many unfamiliar demon tribes have appeared?"

Madam Yin, who was supervising a group of children's cultivation, heard Li Jing's report and couldn't help but frown.

"Not bad, Commander-in-Chief!"

Li Jing said: "Recently, several checkpoints of our Chentang Pass have been attacked by demon tribes, and these demon tribes don't appear to be natives of the East Sea."

"Really? Could it be that these demon tribes have fled here from elsewhere?"

Madam Yin pondered and said.

These years, because Ao Yifan has consolidated the power of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, he has also been constantly restraining his subordinates' sea demons.

So, truly unruly demon tribes are now few.

Usually, it's rare for demon tribes to cause trouble; once discovered, they become training targets for Nezha and his brothers and sisters.

Now, suddenly unfamiliar demon tribes are causing trouble, which is indeed somewhat strange.

"Mother, let me go; those demon tribes, I'll kill one for each that comes, two for each pair—if they dare cause trouble in Chentang Pass, they'd better first ask whether my fire-tip spear is sharp enough!"

Nezha brandished his fire-tip spear and said.

Hearing this, Madam Yin tapped Nezha's head and said: "How have I been teaching you lately? In dealing with matters, don't always think of fighting; you must know yourself and the enemy to win every battle."

"But Dad also taught me that with strength, being reckless is enough!"

Covering his head, Nezha muttered softly.

Just then, before his words finished, he got another smack on the head; only seeing Madam Yin's eyes glare, she said: "It's all your father's fault for spoiling you—who teaches their son like that every day? Just wait till tonight, I'll give him a proper dressing-down!"

Ne Zha shrank his neck and realized he seemed to have misspoken again.

Lady Yin gave Ne Zha a glare, then turned her head to look at Li Jing and said, 'You've been sending more people on patrol lately; equip each unit with a Sound-transmitting conch. If you find any clues of the monster clan, immediately notify the Commandant's Residence.'

Yes, Commandant!

Li Jing clasped his fists in agreement, feeling that Lady Yin's method was indeed good.

The Sound-transmitting conch is a strange object that can transmit sound instantly over dozens of li; used to equip troops, it will definitely have a remarkable effect.

However, this thing is rare in production; one is worth tens of thousands of coins, and only Lady Yin's family wealth can produce that much at once.

'Alright, go down and tell the troops below: prioritize your own and the civilians' safety; when facing an unbeatable monster clan, delay as much as possible and wait for our rescue.'

Lady Yin said.

Li Jing gratefully said, 'Commandant, on behalf of my subordinates, thank you!'

……

At night, Ao Yifan held Lady Yin, listened to her account, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, saying, 'It seems a strange monster clan force has entered the range of Chen Tang Pass.'

'Can you ask the Dragon Clan side to help investigate?'

Lady Yin leaned into Ao Yifan's embrace and suddenly spoke.

'En?'

Ao Yifan looked somewhat surprised at Lady Yin in his arms.

Noticing Ao Yifan's gaze, Lady Yin gave him a look and said, 'You think you can keep hiding it from me? Ne Zha told me he personally saw you and the Dragon Clan demoness in an ambiguous relationship.'

'That little brat!'

Ao Yifan ground his teeth; he doted on Ne Zha so much, yet this brat actually betrayed him.

It was also his own carelessness; when he took Ne Zha out to hunt monsters, he happened to run into Ao Run, who was out walking with his children.

Upon meeting, Ao Yifan naturally let Ne Zha take his never‑met younger siblings to play elsewhere, while he and Ao Run found a deserted coral cluster and then—hehehe!

It's likely that Ne Zha learned about his relationship with Ao Run from those younger siblings.

But Ao Yifan never expected that, after the brat came back, he would tell his mother.

Cough cough.

Ao Yifan gave an embarrassed cough, held Lady Yin, and said, 'Lady, you know my intentions; I'm not doing this just to have the Dragon Clan more wholeheartedly help us deal with the monster clan troubles in the East Sea. After all, this is the promise I made to you when we first met, as your husband, and I haven't forgotten it.'

Pah!

She gave a light pah; Lady Yin is already a mother of three, and she even has a troop of child soldiers—she's no longer the naive girl she once was, so how could she fall for Ao Yifan's tricks again?
