Chapter 58: Homecoming

The Power Clan.

"Hiss, it hurts me to death. I didn't expect that kid to be so strong that even I, the Soul King, am no match. It's just too wicked."

"Father, are we just going to give up like this? I really can't swallow this vile resentment!"

Tai Nuo scrambled up from the medical bed, went to Tai Tan's side, and complained.

Tai Tan, also wounded by Dugu Bo, was receiving treatment.

Having been stewing with pent‑up frustration and now being thrust onto the knife's edge, Tai Nuo didn't hold back; he raised his hand and slapped his own head, coldly saying, "Who made you such uselesss, not even able to handle a little brat? Others have a titled Douluo behind them, a pretty hefty background, and Dugu Bo is a Douluo venerated by the Tian Dou Empire—high status and strong power. If we don't give up, what else can we do? Send them to their death? If the Clear Sky Sect were behind us, we wouldn't be so scared."

"We never expected the weakest titled Douluo, despised by everyone, to possess such terrifying strength. We severely underestimated him; he's been playing the pig while devouring the tiger!"

Recalling the scene where Dugu Bo beat him bare‑handed, leaving him powerless, a deep dread and fear flashed in his eyes.

Tai Nuo rubbed his head, clenched his fists, and coldly said, "Hmph, don't mention the Clear Sky Sect. They're a bunch of ungrateful petty people! Our four great clans served them, and they outright abandoned us that time! They forced our four great clans to scatter, chased us with the Spirit Hall, and caused countless clan deaths. The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall can't escape this debt!"

Back then he wasn't the clan head yet, just a junior head, but he went through the same ordeal; fortunately his father risked his life to save him, so he survived.

The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall incidents are even more infuriating than being bullied by Li Fei and Dugu Bo.

"Alright, for now we can only swallow our frustration. As for Li Fei, don't think about revenge for a long while. If in the future the father can become a titled Douluo, perhaps the revenge can be settled."

"Let the Power Clan develop low‑key for a while; don't easily get into conflicts with others."

Tai Tan frowned and sighed.

He admitted his cowardice.

But it was also a helpless move.

Without a titled Douluo backing them, while others have one, they can only be the losing side.

"I understand, Father. Then stop forging, focus on breaking through your cultivation. By the way, what about Tai Long? Should he drop out?" Tai Nuo's expression wavered, and he finally let out a sigh.

"No need. If they intended to harm Long Er, he'd be dead long ago." Tai Tan shook his head.

Both harbored their thoughts and left the treatment room.

"Wuwu, my inn! All my assets are gone; it's all my hard work."

"Y‑you have to pay compensation."

Inside the collapsed inn, the innkeeper crawled out of the heap of broken timber, covered in ash, looked at the ruined building, and began to weep.

But when he saw a few skeletal bodies a short distance away—seven members of the Evil Wolf Gang—he stopped crying, and his gaze at Li Fei showed terror.

This person is definitely more ruthless and terrifying than anyone in the Evil Wolf Gang. "Enough?"

After venting, Li Fei took a bag of money from the soul guide device and tossed it to the innkeeper.

Clack!

The heavy money sack landed in his hand; the innkeeper's eyes lit up, he swallowed, and years of experience and nose let him sense the Gold Soul Coin aura inside. When he opened it, the golden light almost blinded his eyes.

"Enough! Enough!"

"But it's too much."

"Actually, you don't need that much."

The innkeeper felt a bit guilty.

His inn isn't worth that much; holding it makes him uneasy.

He fears that in the next second, once he turns, they'll kill him.

So he was scared.

Li Fei smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood tonight; the remaining money will serve as compensation for your emotional loss and lost labor."

"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!"

The innkeeper kowtowed a few times, then hurried away.

"Now the inn's collapsed, what do we do?"

Du Gu Yan said.

In the vicinity, there's only this one inn.

"I hadn't thought of that."

"How about we just hug and sleep on the ground?"

"Let nature be our bed, the wind our blanket; breathe the natural breeze, hug a beauty and sleep, enjoy a carefree life!"

Li Fei was stunned, then gave a wicked grin.

"Get lost, you pervert."

Du Gu Yan's face flushed with shame. "How old are you, that you can only spout such flowery words?" she glared at Li Fei.

"When it comes to strength, age is irrelevant." Li Fei pulled Du Gu Yan into his arms, ravaging her wildly.

"Hey, you bastard, let go!"

Early the next morning.

"I finally became a true Soul Douluo!"

"The power of a Soul Douluo truly can't be compared to a Soul Saint!"

Having obtained the soul ring, Frand and Dugu Bo emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as they were about to reach the inn, the scene before them gave them a fright.

The inn collapsed!

"What's happening?!"

"The inn collapsed!?"

"Xiao Fei! Yan Yan!"

"Could it be that Tai Tan has been tailing us, taking advantage of our absence to seek revenge on Xiao Fei?"

Frand and Dugu Bo instantly became anxious.

Even if Li Fei is formidable, his cultivation is only at the Soul King level, but Taitan is an old-generation Soul Douluo; if they really fought, Li Fei would definitely not be a match!

At least that's how they see it.

After all, neither of them knows Li Fei's true strength.

Behind the collapsed inn, inside the carriage compartment, Li Fei and Dugu Yan slept holding each other; last night, aside from their yin-yang union, they did everything else they needed to do, and now their relationship has progressed even further.

At that moment, two sudden sounds woke them up.

"It's grandfather's voice." Dugu Yan said, her face red, rubbing her eyes, looking sleepy.

"You keep sleeping here; I'll go out to meet them."

"I didn't expect it to be faster than I imagined."

Li Fei also woke up, comforted Dugu Yan a bit, then left the carriage.

He stretched, kicked out his legs, feeling very comfortable.

"Don't rush, don't rush, I'm still alive."

He let out a yawn and came before the two anxious people.

"As long as you're alive, how about Yanyan?"

Seeing that Li Fei was unharmed, the two anxious people immediately breathed a sigh of relief; not seeing their precious granddaughter, Dugu Bo immediately asked.

"Sleeping in the carriage." Li Fei said.

"That's good; what exactly happened last night?"

"Did Taitan come to seek revenge?"

Flender asked immediately.

"No, it's a group called the Evil Wolf Gang." Li Fei explained the events, plus how he alone killed seven people, one of whom was a Soul Emperor.

"So that's how it is, well done killing them!"

"I didn't expect you already have the strength to kill a six-ring Soul Emperor! Great, great!"

Flender and Dugu Bo were very pleased.

"Alright, let's go."

Everyone boarded the carriage and hurried onward to Suotuo City.

Time passed quickly.

That day, the carriage finally arrived at Suotuo City.

Flender then bade farewell to everyone and headed for Shrek Academy.

Li Fei brought Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo to the Li family to meet the parents.

They haven't even married into the family yet, and already they have to meet the parents-in-law.

Dugu Yan was a little nervous.
