Invincible Dad-Chapter 732 Gui Returns_1

Beibei pictured the wonderful scene of Xu Lai being miserably tortured and even chuckled aloud, the corners of her mouth turning up.

Xu Lai laughed as well.

He didn't know what Beibei was thinking, but he could vaguely guess from her expression.

Xu Lai said nonchalantly, "Yan Chunfeng, Beibei needs more training. Keep her by your side."

"?"

Beibei's eyes widened.

Thinking of the "training" over the past few months, the Sea Conch Girl whooshed away, not even returning to Haitang Court. She tried to jump into the sea from the cliffs of Mount Haitang!

But in front of Yan Chunfeng of the Immortal Venerable Realm, Beibei simply couldn't escape. Her body floated in midair, limbs flailing powerlessly.

The Sea Conch Girl's despairing voice echoed through the air, "Xu Lai, you're not human, you're a devil! Let me go!"

Xu Lai acted as if he hadn't heard. He said to himself, "Yiyi, go inside. Qian Xiao, what are you still standing there for? You want to go with her, don't you?"

"..."

Qian Xiao didn't dare say a word and turned to run. He was panicking, too. Although he was only a few hundred Rebel Clan heads away from a promotion, if he were sent back to Qingfeng Camp, who knew when he would be able to return to Earth. What if he never saw his Big Sister again?

"Boo-hoo-hoo, I'm going to die! Somebody save me..." the Sea Conch Girl kept sobbing, though not a single tear fell.

CRUNCH.

CRUNCH.

CRUNCH.

Atop Mount Haitang, the Gold Swallowing Beast Xiao Hei sat on the ground, munching on bamboo while watching the Sea Conch Girl.

Its mouth felt bland. Suddenly, it really wanted a slurp.

What it thought, it did.

The round little Xiao Hei swallowed the bamboo in its mouth and, swaying its black-and-white bottom, swaggered arrogantly toward Beibei.

"No, please!"

"Xu Lai, I was wrong! I'll go to Qingfeng Camp right now, just make it stay away from me!"

Beibei's pretty face turned green; she was truly about to cry from fear. Whether it was in the Immortal Domain or at Qingfeng Camp, she could bite the bullet and accept any amount of training. The only thing she couldn't accept was being slurped on by Xiao Hei.

It's so sticky and gooey. It's just disgusting.

"Okay," Xu Lai nodded.

Just as he was about to kick the Gold Swallowing Beast Xiao Hei away, he suddenly let out a soft "Huh?" and silently withdrew his foot.

This action made Beibei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, break down again. "Xu Lai, I'm begging you, have a heart!"

Xu Lai wasn't unwilling to stop Xiao Hei. It was because a stranger had stepped onto the peak of Mount Haitang—a young man transformed from a sea turtle monster.

「...」

Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai had also noticed a sea turtle monster stealthily roaming around Haitang Court. But since the stranger didn't emanate the slightest hint of a malicious aura, he hadn't made a move.

The turtle monster's name was Gui Gui.

His ancestors had lived within the Dragon Palace Barrier for generations, serving the Dragon Race alongside Beibei's ancestors. But a hundred years ago, the last princess of the Dragon Race had entered Mount Zijin in search of a breakthrough and never came out. Beibei, meanwhile, had gone to Sea City, ruled by Demon King Yuan Man. She had offered to become one of his Demon Generals in exchange for his help in rescuing the princess.

Gui Gui hadn't accompanied her at the time. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. On the way there, Gui Gui had tragically stumbled into a sealed Barrier, the tomb of some mighty sea expert. His cultivation Boundary was too low, and he found himself trapped inside.

Only today, a hundred years later, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, did he finally have the strength to escape the Barrier.

Gui Gui returned to Sea City, where he learned that Beibei had gone to East Sea City and was now following a human named Xu Lai.

And this human lived in Haitang Court!

He lives with the woman who kicked me in the head that day. Could they be family? If I can find her, maybe I can find Beibei... Gui Gui mused, touching his own shiny green head and growing excited.

He had arrived at the peak of Mount Haitang early in the morning, but his intuition told him that danger lay ahead. So, Gui Gui had hesitated and lingered, trying to wait for the woman who had kicked him to appear. Unfortunately, he waited for the better part of the day, but she never showed up. Gui Gui didn't know that Ruan Lan had already 'socially died'; to avoid Xu Lai, she had been living in the school dormitory lately.

As Gui Gui lingered, he suddenly heard a familiar voice—it was Beibei's cry for help.

Beibei is in danger!

Gui Gui immediately rushed over without a second thought. When he saw a black-and-white panda extending its claws, about to grab Beibei, whom he hadn't seen for a hundred years, he roared furiously, "Let go of that girl!"

Xiao Hei whimpered, looking utterly innocent.

In the instant it froze, a fist the size of a sandbag smashed into its face.

Xiao Hei didn't even take a step back. Instead, Gui Gui recoiled from the immense force and was sent flying backward.

"Cough."

Gui Gui came to a clumsy, undignified stop, exclaiming in horror, "Such terrifying physical strength! You must be Xu Lai!"

"..."

Xu Lai raised an eyebrow.

Where on earth did this silly sea turtle come from?

Xiao Hei's face looked even more innocent as it let out another soft whimper.

Xu Lai kicked the whimpering creature away and looked at Beibei. "Do you know this silly sea turtle?"

"I do. His name is Gui Gui." Beibei blinked hard, then said with some disappointment, "So you're still alive. I always thought you were dead."

What an elegant greeting.

But Gui Gui showed no displeasure. Instead, he looked remorseful. "It was my fault back then. I failed to stop the Princess, and that's why she entered Mount Zijin..."

"Shut up." Beibei's eyes reddened. "You have no right to mention Ah Zi!"

Ah Zi. That was the Dragon Race Princess who had died in the jaws of a Phantom Beast.

Gui Gui lowered his shiny green head. A moment later, he looked up again, his eyes sincere. "Now isn't the time to argue. I'll get you out of here first."

Ignoring her former comrade, Beibei muttered under her breath, "Xu Lai, hurry up and catch him. Turtle soup is a great tonic."

"So *you're* Xu Lai?" Gui Gui's gaze snapped toward him. He traced a Tai Chi symbol in the air before him, his expression utterly solemn. "Please enlighten me."

Xu Lai didn't answer. Instead, he turned to Beibei. "Should I really stew him?"

"..."

Beibei glared fiercely at Gui Gui. After a full minute, she turned her head away, bit her lower lip, and forced out the words, "Forget it."

SNAP.

Xu Lai snapped his fingers. The little sea turtle in front of him vanished in a stream of light.

Beibei panicked. "Did... did you kill him?"

"The Supreme Emperor tossed him into the stars. His life is not in danger," Yan Chunfeng said gently.

Beibei sighed in relief. Proud as she was, she wanted to say thank you but couldn't bring herself to do it. In the end, she just managed, "Well done."

"The dead can't be brought back to life. Don't let the past cloud your heart," Xu Lai said, giving Beibei a deep look. He had heard her story about Ah Zi, the Dragon Race Princess from the East Sea, before. "You know best whether he could have stopped her back then. Live on with her dream, not with hatred and regret."

"..."

Beibei fell silent.

Back then, the Dragon Race Princess was at the Demon King Realm, while Gui Gui had only just achieved his Spirit Awakening. He couldn't possibly have stopped her. The reason she hated him so much was simply that she hated her own powerlessness from all those years ago.
