332. Chapter 332: Have you fallen in love with me?

"Talking to a smart person is just simple, that's right."

Su Chen nodded with a smile, then continued, "I let those remaining people live in peace for so long; now it is time to make them pay it back."

Speaking of this, his expression turned slightly stern, and a faint killing intent already overflowed from between his brows.

"But I heard that the Central Province is not very peaceful right now. The forces there are intricate and complex due to the downfall of your family. Many forces have carved up the former industries of the Lin Family; many have declined, while just as many have risen."

Luo Shen frowned slightly and said softly.

"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, earth covers it. If we let these forces continue to develop, they will be hard to deal with. We must also go and stir up this muddy water in the Central Province."

Su Chen said with a smile, looking at the teacup in front of him nonchalantly, appearing extremely unrestrained and arrogant.

Luo Shen nodded, noncommittal to Su Chen's words.

On the other side, Natasha and Aoweisi went to the residence of the surviving cubs together.

The cubs of other tribes had already been taken away; the ones remaining were mostly from the Dragon Race and the Mermaid Race. Because they were of different races, they were placed in two separate rooms.

Natasha and Aoweisi found the surviving cubs very easily.

As soon as the door opened, that group of Mermaid Race cubs did not recognize Natasha, because Natasha was not there when they were still in their tribe.

But Aoweisi was different. As the Elder of the Mermaid Race, almost all those cubs had grown up seeing the Elder.

Therefore, as soon as they saw the Elder, they all crowded around.

"Elder, we have finally seen you."

A little girl said with a choked voice.

Previously, she had heard Natasha say that the seniors of the Mermaid Race had all sacrificed themselves, and she had been very sad. Now that she saw her clansmen, she couldn't be happier.

The others were the same, looking at the Elder with anticipation, their eyes filled with joy.

The Elder looked at them lovingly and said in a soft voice: "Haven't I returned? From now on, I will protect you."

Those people nodded earnestly.

They caught up for a long time before Aoweisi asked: "Where is Xiaoran?"

When he said this, his expression became involuntarily nervous.

After all, it was his own grandson; to say he didn't care would be a lie. He had held back from asking just now because he didn't want to dampen the others' good intentions.

Hearing this, the cubs all looked in one direction in unison. One little girl spoke first: "Brother Xiaoran is inside. He seems to have suffered a great blow, so he hasn't been seen for these past few days."

Hearing this, Aoweisi's heart tightened. He walked in immediately and sure enough, saw Xiaoran curled up in a ball in the corner.

"Xiaoran, Grandfather is here."

Aoweisi stood in front of Xiaoran for a long time before saying this with a choked voice.

The tough disguise from just moments ago seemed to fade away at this moment. The once invincible Elder was now just a fragile old man.

Hearing Aoweisi's words, Xiaoran finally raised his head. His eyes held a bit of confusion, then filled with tears, and he suddenly threw himself into Aoweisi's arms.

"Grandfather, they said you were all dead. I didn't believe it. I just knew Grandfather wouldn't leave me."

Xiaoran sobbed convulsively, clutching Aoweisi tightly, afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion.

Seeing this scene, Natasha couldn't help but cover her mouth as tears fell.

Since leaving the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm, there hadn't been a moment she wasn't looking forward to seeing her own clansmen, and she could understand the feelings of these cubs.

This scene of the grandfather and grandson reuniting made the others tacitly refrain from interrupting, and they walked out silently. "It's so good, Xiaoran has finally seen his grandfather. Before, when we were with that devil, he was the one who kept encouraging us to hold on."

"That's right, he was so worried about the Elder. When he heard the news that the Elder might be gone, he closed himself off completely, as if he had lost all hope."

Several Mermaid Race cubs spoke all at once, all of them happy for Xiaoran without exception.

Natasha pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile softly, feeling that it was good, it was good that things hadn't reached an irreparable point.

She knew that what they had now was already a great blessing.

"Shall I teach you some incantations?"

Natasha looked at this group of Mermaid Race cubs gently, bowing slightly.

Several little cubs opened their bright, watery eyes, looking at Natasha with curiosity.

……

After Su Chen finished discussing matters with Luo Shen, he successfully left the place. Just as he returned to his residence and intended to rest for a while, he saw Yi Zhuyue hesitating at the door.

"What's wrong?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "If there's something, just come in and say it."

Seeing she had been discovered, Yi Zhuyue didn't act coy; she walked straight in and sat down next to Su Chen.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Yi Zhuyue not speaking, Su Chen couldn't help but ask again.

"The news that you are the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon has already spread throughout the entire Western Wasteland. People only know there is a human, but they don't know your specific identity. Next, the other two Heavenly Dao Envoys will likely not let us off."

When Yi Zhuyue said this, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable worry.

Su Chen had thought of this possibility from the very beginning when he used this title to summon the hundred beasts, so he was not afraid at all.

"Although that is the case, it was the best method at the time. Besides, news in the Western Wasteland is actually quite closed off. We plan to go to the Central Province next. The Central Province is closest to the Western Wasteland; we will catch them off guard."

Su Chen smiled slightly, not worried at all.

Yi Zhuyue thought about it and realized it did make sense, so she nodded. She subconsciously touched her stomach.

"Then when shall we set off for the Central Province?"

Yi Zhuyue asked.

"In a few days, once things have completely settled down, we will go."

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then continued.

Now the entire Western Wasteland is waiting to be rebuilt, plus the ideas discussed with Luo Shen just now, it will take at least three days.

"Caring so much about my affairs, have you fallen in love with me?"

Su Chen gave a wicked smile and pulled Yi Zhuyue directly into his arms.

Yi Zhuyue's whole body stiffened; she was still not used to Su Chen's touch and her body was as rigid as a wooden mannequin. After realizing what was happening, her face turned as red as a peach, and she stammered, "Hateful, I am talking to you about serious matters."

"Are the matters between the two of us not considered serious matters?" Su Chen held Yi Zhuyue's waist, buried his head in her neck, and inhaled the fragrance unique to her, unable to help but close his eyes in intoxication.

"... I suppose so." Yi Zhuyue immediately became embarrassed, and after a long silence, she said this in a low voice.

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. (End of chapter)
