The two Hannover white horses neighed loudly upon seeing Xiao Wu approaching, tears streaming as if overjoyed that their savior had finally come.
"Hey… Sister Xiao Wu, if you weren't coming, those two old men would start poking our little behinds!"
Xiao Wu Lingran guarded the white horses closely and scolded angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you bullying Xiao Bai? What are your fingers doing? Stop poking!"
An awkward silence fell, a cool breeze blowing through, making everyone shiver.
Yu Yuanzhen hastily withdrew his fingers. "Don't misunderstand, we're kind. We heard the white horses neighing in pain, so we came to heal them."
"No, the little white horses are perfectly fine."
Yu Yuanzhen slapped one horse's rump, causing it to rear up, and a loud crack echoed as he landed a strong slap. The horse's hips tightened, and a loud smacking sound reached Yu Luomian's face, which was comically embarrassing.
Away from the scene, Subei sniffed the air and grimaced. A foul stench made him feel dizzy.
"Big… big brother, I want to puke… I can't take it anymore!"
Yu Yuanzhen's slap came suddenly again, and Yu Luomian, defenseless, took the full brunt and collapsed. The gas carried sticky remnants that choked him, causing him to rush into the lake to cleanse his mouth.
When had such a dignified Contra powerhouse suffered such humiliation?
If not for Xiao Wu and Subei blocking, Yu Luomian might have unleashed his full power and smashed the white horse with a punch.
"Hey! Why cover my eyes? They're bullying Dabai and Xiaobai!" Xiao Wu shouted, stomping angrily at Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, clutching Subei's hand.
Yu Yuanzhen grinned sheepishly and tried to explain. "I was just healing them. The old man is kind."
He smirked at Subei, "Since you're Erlong's godchild—and also my grandnephew—the old man intends to bring you to Thunder Academy. Lanba is second to Thunder in resources. How about it?"
"This is a happy decision. The old man will take you back to the clan hall."
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were more interested in confirming palace news about the child than the horses.
To verify the ages of the soul beasts, they provoked them, observing the color of their attacks—matching their cultivation bases.
They confirmed these two white horses had over a thousand years of cultivation.
Suppressing them with their soul power, the horses could do nothing.
Yu Yuanzhen, a Super Douluo, dominated effortlessly.
Satisfied, they verified that the child Erlong brought back was not only beautiful and charming but a genius of a millennium rarity.
Only Thunder Academy, the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Overlord Longzong, was worthy to cultivate such a prodigy.
Thus, Yu Yuanzhen devised plans to bring Subei back to the clan hall and collaborate with Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin to cultivate him—a brilliant future awaited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Though Yu Yuanzhen was a rarity among super Douluo, he behaved like a mischievous old man.
Northern Jiangsu could only think it was due to Subei's overwhelming personal charm.
Men and women alike adored him.
Yu Yuanzhen would hug Subei, oil his feet, and lightly avoid capture with graceful Lingbo steps.
Yu Yuanzhen was shocked: "You're so light-footed! Did Erlong teach you that?"
"Leave me alone," Subei said with a frown. "You're almost a hundred years old. Aren't you ashamed, showing no respect, bullying a seven-year-old?"
Yu Yuanzhen blushed with embarrassment, feeling ridiculous for a super power acting this way.
His temper flared like Liu Erlong's as he muttered, "You're young and don't understand. This is for your own good. Erlong is a soul sage but never cultivated top geniuses. I have educated countless talents and can promise you a perfect future."
"When you reach titled Douluo or Super Douluo, you'll understand."
"Come live in Thunder Academy with me, old man!"
Yu Yuanzhen enveloped Northern Jiangsu protectively, like a sky-and-sun curtain, joking, "If you're bad, like those women, you'll just bully my brother!"
At that moment, Xiao Wu sprang into action. Knowing Yu Yuanzhen intended to spoil Subei, she fiercely counterattacked, slapping his face regardless of status.
Unlike his brother, Yu Yuanzhen took it lightly.
Despite not using his spirit power, Yu Yuanzhen's physical strength was overwhelming.
So even the swift and strong Xiao Wu was lifted effortlessly when she grabbed his ankle, unable to resist.
Yu Yuanzhen chuckled, "I heard your little girl is born with full soul power and performing well. Come back to Thunder Academy with your godfather. Your godmother will find a way to bring you along so you won't be lonely."
"There are two handsome brothers waiting for you. Listen to Grandpa's advice and be obedient."
"Bah!" Xiao Wu spat, "Who dares say they're handsome in front of my brother? So shameless!"
