Chapter 379

Make Xiong Ge and the others believe it.

He really does seem to be the younger brother of the Tieshikong Alliance leader.

But.

This image of Jiu Lai.

Is simply hard to believe.

Gui Long saw Jiu Lai.

"Hahaha, old man, what are you showing off for? Saying your mental age is young—are you just comforting yourself?"

"Wait until a couple days from now, when you kick the bucket and close your eyes, then you won't say that anymore."

【237】 I'll help you cool down!

Although Gui Long spoke harshly, he made Xia Mei and the others want to laugh.

They had been holding it in, daring not to show any reaction.

"Hey! You're quite a mischievous fellow."

Jiu Lai did not get angry at his words.

"You all go outside—I'll teach him a lesson, so he knows my strength."

He spoke outwardly with great politeness.

Gui Long did not take him seriously.

"Old thing, with your old arms and legs, you think you can touch me?"

"Aren't you afraid your body will fall apart?"

Gui Long continued to provoke Jiu Lai.

Jiu Lai smiled.

His joints emitted cracking sounds.

"Looks like you're full of energy. If that's the case, I'll help you cool down!"

Grandpa Xia Liu had already led everyone outside.

"Dad, will Xia Tian be alright?"

Xiong Ge was somewhat worried.

Gui Long's mouth was too rude.

She feared Jiu Lai might lose control.

Grandpa Xia Liu reassured her.

"Among us, Jiu Lai has the best temper—rest easy. Xia Tian will definitely be fine."

He assured Xiong Ge.

Ye Si Ren and the others waited expectantly.

"Father-in-law, will this man's intervention restore Xia Tian to normal?"

If he can restore him to normal,

Ye Si Ren thought,

Xia Tian enduring some hardship is no big deal.

"I'm not entirely sure either—we'll just wait and see."

Everyone watched the room.

Suddenly,

A thunderous boom came from inside.

Boom!

The ground trembled.

"This... Dad, you really think Xia Tian won't be hurt, right~?"

Grandpa Xia Liu remained certain.

"Of course! Don't worry—Jiu Lai knows his limits. This is the first time, so he's bound to go a bit harder."

"Boom..."

Grandpa Xia Liu hadn't even finished speaking when another massive crash erupted.

The ground shook harder than before.

Xia Xiong stopped asking.

And Grandpa Xia Liu stopped explaining.

"This is just part of his method—it's not really this terrifying."

He still assured Ye Si Ren and the others.

Yet the commotion inside the Xia Mansion never ceased.

Inside the room,

Gui Long had been beaten into crying for his mother.

"Ahh! I'm wrong, Big Brother!"

"Big Brother! Don't hit me anymore!"

"I'm wrong..."

"Big Brother! I'm old—I'm old everywhere!"

"Please spare me..."

"Mom... save me..."

The ghost dragon's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Jiu Lai remained silent, all his strength focused in his fists.

One hour later.

The room finally fell silent.

Jiu Lai walked out of the room.

He brushed the dust off his body.

"Cough… The ghost dragon's power is too strong; it took longer than expected."

At this moment, Xia Liu Agong had nothing to say.

He didn't know how to respond to him.

"Hehe…"

Finally, he gave an awkward smile.

Xia Mei had always wanted to say more.

Seeing Jiu Lai brutally beat the ghost dragon for an hour.

She felt she might not have lasted that long.

- This old man is not to be trifled with; I'll stay quiet.

Xia Mei kept her mouth tightly shut.

Seeing Xiong Ge and the others nodded in acknowledgment and ran past, afraid of being noticed by Jiu Lai.

Jiu Lai took a deep breath.

He reentered the room.

Xia Tian had returned to normal.

"Young master, you're back—thank goodness."

Xia Mei kept running her hands over his body, trying to check for any injuries.

In the end, she found he was unharmed.

Xia Yu, like Xia Mei, examined his body.

Seeing he was unharmed, they both relaxed.

Jiu Lai stepped closer.

He told them.

"I used Zhen Tian Quan to suppress the ghost dragon, but this state can only last ten days."

"After ten days, if Xia Tian cannot regain control of his body, the ghost dragon will take over it."
