Chapter 942: Chapter 942: From Now On, Just Call Me Dad

Bai Chuwei blurted out, "I..."

The Cloud-swallowing Beast suddenly started to neigh uneasily, galloping wildly under the Jinglong Pool.

A cultivator’s loud shout came from the Jinglong Pool, directly interrupting Bai Chuwei’s words: "Predecessor Zhao Tianfang, the time is enough! Wake up, Bai Chuwei should be no more!"

All the cultivators followed Bai Chuwei’s previous instructions, over two hundred cultivators personally protecting Bai Chuwei, giving her ample respect.

But as time went on, it got longer and longer.

It had been nearly ten days since Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan were dragged into the pool by that beast.

Ten days without any news from them, even a dead body should have floated up by now, right?

Zhao Tianfang’s face instantly turned grim, and he sternly shouted on the spot: "I told you to protect, what are you doing coming out?"

Zhao Tianfang’s name still intimidated the cultivators in China, and seeing his harshness made them shrink their necks involuntarily.

A cultivator couldn’t help but say, "Predecessor Zhao, today... today is New Year’s Eve."

Although they were cultivators, they still celebrated the New Year!

During the New Year, the various sects and factions had even more of a festive atmosphere than ordinary people.

The Sect Leader would hand out red envelopes and gifts to the younger generation, were they really supposed to continue protecting Bai Chuwei here? Not go home to celebrate the New Year?

The key was that there wasn’t a single sign of life.

Zhao Tianfang’s eyes flashed a trace of worry upon hearing this, and he couldn’t help but look at the Jinglong Pool.

Indeed, there really wasn’t a single movement.

It was so quiet that it made him a bit scared.

It’s not like he hadn’t heard of people going into seclusion, but even in seclusion, there would be some movement, right? There wasn’t a single bit here.

Could something really have happened to Bai Chuwei in there?

If so, Bai Chuwei would not only become a joke, but the group of Chinese cultivators who protected her for ten days would also be laughed at internationally.

Was this really protecting her, or guarding a tomb for Bai Chuwei?

All the surrounding cultivators were a bit restless. With no sign from Bai Chuwei, they couldn’t just continue waiting here.

Once someone started to stir, many others became somewhat restless, and the entire protective barrier began to waver. Everyone’s attention turned to the edge of the Jinglong Pool.

Liao Hong, Liao Jinjin, and Xu Xingchen exchanged glances.

There was absolutely no one around this family of three, because previously they had cooperated with the Superpower Alliance, and Bai Chuwei first killed the Superpower Alliance’s Osias’s pet snake to set an example, who would dare to get involved with this family?

Liao Hong was happy to have peace and quiet, and in a low voice said to Liao Jinjin and Xu Xingchen, "There’s no sign of life at the bottom of the pool. If nothing goes wrong, Bai Chuwei and the Dark Night Young Master are in mortal danger. With the Dark Night Domain without a leader, we can’t let the other Elders take over now, it’s a good opportunity."

Xu Xingchen’s eyes flashed, her heart couldn’t help but pound, and she immediately said, "Uncle Liao, why not let me go to the Dark Night Domain, although you are the former Elder, you were ultimately ousted by Duan Feihan, but I am his blood-related nephew."

If something happened to Duan Feihan, the vast Duan Family business would surely fall into Duan Xingye’s hands.

But how could such a massive enterprise like the Dark Night Domain fall into Duan Xingye’s hands, who knows nothing at all?

After all, I am Duan Feihan’s blood-related nephew, inheriting it is perfectly logical.

Liao Hong looked at Xu Xingchen deeply and said in a faint tone, "From now on, you don’t need to call me Uncle, just call me Dad."

A son-in-law is half a son, calling him Dad is appropriate.

"Ah?" Xu Xingchen was momentarily dumbfounded, "???"

What?

Call him Dad?

Xu Xingchen: "..."

Why does he inexplicably have another Dad?

Just how many Dads does he have recently...

A Dao companion... does it really mean getting married?

Xu Xingchen gritted his teeth, it’s okay... even if they get married, they can still get divorced, as long as Tong Qingyan doesn’t find out, everything will be as if nothing happened.

Liao Jinjin held Xu Xingchen’s arm and said to Liao Hong, "Dad, I was once part of the Dark Night Domain, I’ll go with Xingchen."

With Liao Jinjin accompanying him, Xu Xingchen felt like he had taken a reassurance pill, and with Liao Jinjin, he got up, planning to slip away back to Haicheng’s Dark Night Domain while everyone focused on the Jinglong Pool.

Just as he took a few steps, the ground beneath his feet suddenly started to shake as if about to crack open, Xu Xingchen’s face went pale with fright, tightly gripping Liao Jinjin, but still staggered.

The whole ground seemed to flip over, the calm waters of the Jinglong Pool rippling with waves.

The cultivators supported each other, barely able to stand, their expressions panicked and flustered.

"What’s going on? An earthquake?"

"It’s New Year’s Eve today, why is something this big happening?!!"

"..."

Xu Xingchen almost fell to the ground from the shaking, a sense of ominous foreboding rising in his heart...

A nearly tear-inducing voice echoed faintly: "Student Xu, you’re so eager for me and your so-called fourth uncle to die, just so you can go back and take over?"
