Invincible Dad-Chapter 660 Goodbye Mom_1

Ruan Tang’s hand rested on her collar, her face flushed as she remained silent.

But just at that moment, a figure sped across the distant sea with a terrifyingly murderous aura—it was Ji Gui!

Jubilation filled Ji Gui’s eyes. He had sensed two Zhu Lang on the shore, one of whom contained an abundance of Spiritual Energy. It was likely the legendary Spiritual Body. This is a delicacy of the highest grade! he thought, desperate to devour his prey on the spot.

"Hahahahahaha!" Ji Gui laughed wildly, feeling as if the heavens themselves were smiling upon him. A Spiritual Body was an encounter of a lifetime; its vital essence alone was worth a hundred thousand ordinary humans.

Just as he was about to set foot on the island, Ji Gui opened his cavernous maw, ready to swallow Ruan Tang whole.

Xu Lai raised an eyebrow. Where did this fly come from, daring to disturb my fun? It really has a death wish!

He waved his hand irritably. Ji Gui felt an unimaginably mighty force blast him away, and with a loud SPLASH, he crashed into the sea.

"Ah." Ruan Tang’s hand, still on her button, trembled. "Xu Lai, what was that?"

"Nothing, just a fly."

"Is that so..." Ruan Tang looked puzzled. "That fly seemed quite big."

"It was a fly that has become a spirit," Xu Lai said seriously. "Honey, never mind the fly. Let’s get back to our important business."

"Forget it." Ruan Tang blushed. "Let’s go back to the tent. It’s a little..." She bit her lower lip, leaving the rest unsaid.

Xu Lai understood. My wife is just shy. But it’s understandable, considering Ruan Tang is easily embarrassed.

So, Xu Lai swept Ruan Tang up into his arms and carried her to a corner of the island. He casually created a small Barrier, and the two began to "discuss the company’s new product line."

And it had to be said, the new product line was fantastic!

「A night passed.」

The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, replaced by a clear, boundless sky.

They had come to watch the sunrise, but things didn’t go according to plan, because Xu Yiyi hadn’t woken up yet. Of course, Xu Lai hadn’t intentionally woken his daughter to see it, either. He and Ruan Tang were also sleeping in, having only gone to rest at the crack of dawn.

「On another island.」

Sixteen Elders of the Crescent Moon Clan waited fruitlessly through the night for Crown Prince Ji Gui to return, all of them deeply confused.

"There’s a human female on that island. Could it be that the Crown Prince decided to amuse himself?" one of the Lower Crescent Elders asked uncertainly. The Crown Prince had a history of this—not of indulging in beautiful women, but in tormenting his prey.

"The Crown Prince is still too young!" another Elder said, full of disappointment. "All that talk about the ten-thousand-year grand plan for the Moon Clan... it was all lies!"

The Elders all shook their heads and sighed.

However, Ji Gui had been completely wronged. He had been slapped thousands of nautical miles away by Xu Lai and was still floating unconscious on the vast ocean.

Late in the morning, the Crown Prince finally opened his eyes. The blinding sunlight made him instinctively raise a heavy arm to shield his vision.

"Where... where am I?" Ji Gui looked around in complete bewilderment.

He had no idea how he had come to be floating on the sea, surrounded by a dozen dolphins that kept leaping from the water, splashing his face.

"I clearly came to Earth through the Yunxiao Sect’s Teleportation Array with the Elders of the Eight Great Crescent Moon Clans, and then..." Ji Gui trailed off, unable to finish his thought. He realized he seemed to have amnesia.

The Crown Prince was dumbfounded. Where the hell am I? As far as I can see, there’s only ocean, no land or islands in sight. Where are the other Crescent Moon Clan Elders?

Wait.

Then, to his utter despair, Ji Gui made a discovery: the Golden Core inside his body had shattered! Forget flying; without Spiritual Energy, he couldn’t even open his storage ring, let alone use the Sound Transmission Jade Slip inside it.

"What’s happened to me?" Ji Gui clutched his head, which felt like it was about to explode, and cursed, "Damn heavens, you are so unfair to me!"

Perhaps the heavens heard him. The playful dolphins nearby suddenly disappeared. As Ji Gui was lost in confusion, he saw black fins begin to emerge from the water, one after another.

Ji Gui watched them with no reaction. Any normal person on Earth would have had a heart attack, because those were shark fins.

"Huh?"

Even with his shattered core, Ji Gui’s instincts remained. A sense of foreboding rose within him, an intense feeling of mortal danger. He gradually realized something was wrong; the owners of those fins did not come with good intentions.

Indeed, they did not.

At least thirty sharks of an unknown species lunged at him all at once. Ji Gui was so terrified that his already soaked pants became even wetter.

"FUCK!" he couldn’t help but roar. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

One day passed, then two, then three.

After three whole days, not a single one of the Zhu Lang on the distant island had died. The Crown Prince, on the other hand, was still missing, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.

"Is the Crown Prince perhaps afraid to face Xu Lai, so he took off early?" one of the Moon Clan Elders speculated.

The others remained silent. Xu Lai’s Boundary was still unknown, but a conservative estimate placed him at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, or possibly even the legendary Divinity Transformation Realm. Even they, at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, were afraid. If the Crown Prince had run away out of fear, it was understandable, but shouldn’t he have at least told them? To leave without a word was simply torturous.

Mou Yuan of the Upper Crescent spoke, his expression resolute. "Forget it. The Crown Prince’s Boundary was never high to begin with; his presence or absence makes little difference. Let us, sixteen old-timers, confront the strongest expert of the Human Race."

Once, eleven Golden Core cultivators from the Human Race challenged the Moon King. Today, sixteen Elders from the Moon Clan would challenge Xu Lai. All of them bore the resolve to die, prepared to be buried in an Exotic Realm.

Sixteen streaks of iridescent light soared into the sky, transforming into meteors that flew toward Mount Haitang.

Seeing the dozen-plus streaks of light, the fishermen on Chang Island immediately knelt in excitement, shouting that immortals had appeared.

Xu Lai just curled his lip at the sight. Immortals? They’re just mortals who know a little about Cultivation.

Xu Yiyi yawned and said reluctantly, "Daddy, Mommy, do we really have to go home? We haven’t even seen the sunrise yet."

THUMP.

Ruan Tang tapped her daughter on the head and chided, "You little lazybones, how can you say that? You’ve lazed in bed for three days. It would be a miracle if you saw a sunrise."

"Yiyi, you need to go to bed early and wake up early," Xu Lai said.

"But Daddy and Mommy wake up even later than Yiyi," Xu Yiyi mumbled softly.

Ruan Tang’s face flushed. "There’s a reason for that."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm," Xu Lai nodded emphatically.

"Don’t you ’mm-hmm’ me!" Ruan Tang pinched Xu Lai’s arm. "It’s time to go home."

"Why don’t you go back first, honey?" Xu Lai suggested with a grand wave of his hand. "I’ll wait with our daughter for one more sunrise. The scenery here really is nice."

"Bye-bye, Mommy," Yiyi waved cooperatively.

Ruan Tang was exasperated. Just last night in the tent, Xu Lai was on my side, saying we needed to scold our daughter for her bad habit of sleeping in. But the moment he’s out of the tent, all he has in his eyes is doting affection for her!
