Subei barely dared to hint that he didn't like it before Gu Yuena pounced with her dragon claws.
Subei said seriously, "Whether I like it or not, for a reserved and conservative guy like me, being forced to marry right away feels rushed. But if you kiss me, maybe I can accept it—even better if you stick out your tongue."
Northern Jiangsu looked earnest.
Gu Yuena blushed, brushing her face.
"Just accept it with a kiss and stick out my tongue? Is that something a six-year-old says?"
She pinched Subei's nose playfully: "No way, you can only do that when you grow up!"
Brigitte had told her not to do anything too intimate with children!
If Subei knew Brigitte had taught Gu Yuena that, he would've complained, "Damn it, Brigitte—the stumbling block at the start of my sister-in-law life!"

One day later,
Subei's toes tapped and jumped unpredictably on the ice spring's surface.
He was already familiar with the laws of Lingbo's microsteps, worthy of systematic training, almost complete after just one session.
Why not become invincible in this world?
"Just let me rest for two years, and I'll blast Gu Yuena, become the Invincible Dragon God Supreme, then march out to fight Luoxing!"
Ugh… but it's so hard.
The tongue-kiss task had yet to be completed.
Subei scratched his head, pondering, "Could it be that my appearance hasn't reached the level that subverts the world, the sun, and the moon?"
Though handsome, he still felt a bit miserable.
He hadn't claimed the title of Douluo world's most handsome.
True invincible handsomeness should collapse the world the moment he crosses over!
"Looks like I'm not the first handsome Douluo."
At best, second place.
Subei sighed.
However, he learned from Gu Yuena that this place was actually inside the iceberg mouth of the Terrible Land.
The cold lake's central land was Gu Yuena's boudoir.
Even the seven fiercest beasts dared not step inside.
At the heart of the ice lake lay a vast sheet of ice where Gu Yuena rested in her dragon form.
The smooth, flawless ice and rugged walls were likely the result of the Silver Dragon King's cute little claws scratching from constant friction.
As Subei thought about using Lingbo's microsteps to leave the iceberg pass and peek outside at the prosperity,
Gu Yuena flew in from the sky.
Behind her followed a gentle middle-aged man.
He wore a brocade robe and silver crown, full of the elegant dignity of a wealthy elder.
Immediately, Subei's mood soured.
﹏
Nana... is this going to be a case of empathy?
Bringing a man home—
Would the next plotline kick him out of the house?
Or worse, eat him up?
Roar~ Sure enough, love at first sight can't be trusted!
Like a cloud of bad luck gathering atop his head, Subei's unparalleled temperament dimmed by two points.
As they neared, Gu Yuena noticed Subei's face had turned sour and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
No pet name!
Even her tone had shifted.
Not in love anymore, huh?
"Okay, leave me be."
Subei forced a smile: "No, I'm fine."
Gu Yuena smiled warmly: "It's okay, come, let's measure your size."
"Measure my size?"
Subei's face froze.
"What size should be measured?"
Was she going to compare his size with the man's?
How humiliating!
So passionate?
And he was still so young. How could he compare?
The insult stung deep.
