Free Web NovelChapter 853: 853: So they are... close?!
The arrival of the Thunder God to the outskirts had instantly spread in the whole area. It wasn’t like Lei Yuye had intentionally hid his presence when he arrived in this small town like how Shen Taiyang and Shen Jueyang had done before. He flew and entered this town without any announcement and just simply headed straight to the location where the elders of the Regal Lei Clan had reported to the family.
The sudden presence of the Thunder King was now known to all cultivators in the area and wanted to see him. This was blocked by the town master who knew that the Thunder King had mostly descended to this out of nowhere place just to find his niece, who is also their princess.
In the middle of the day, dozens of cultivators had jumped over the house and some even flew in the air while using their sword, a flying artifact or even a flying spirit beast. Most of the realm of these people were in the Mahayama realm and none of them had reached the King’s realm yet. That’s why when two God King realm cultivators blocked their path, they all froze. One of these men was the town master, Shan Xu, who had regained his youth and the other is the young man who was said to be the clan master of the Pei Clan, Pei Ju, who was said to have regressed to youth from eating too many pills.
Town Master Shan Xu said, "This area is now a forbidden area. No one without the permission from the Regal Lei Clan is allowed to pass through."
"You guys~ stop being such gossip mongers. Go back or go home. The Thunder King isn’t as friendly as you thought and this is him visiting a family. You want to get in his way then you don’t care much about living." Pei Ju said.
Upon hearing the threat in these two king realm cultivators, the other cultivators with dissatisfactions imprinted on their faces can only retreat. After all, to fight against these two men unless they don’t want their lives anymore is not feasible. None of them were their opponents at all. They were also right about the Thunder King being offended by their sudden approach. They had longed to hear about the short temperedness of this king.
Once the cultivators had dispersed, Shan Xu and Pei Ju sighed in relief. They actually didn’t expect that the Thunder King would truly come here. After all, they had hidden the facts which had happened in the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode. Though they cannot stop the other elders from the Lei Clan from reporting, just the fact that the princess herself didn’t want to be exposed, the elders might not entirely speak up.
Pei Ju said, "I thought you said that your junior would not openly tell the Lei Clan about your princess." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"It might actually be them. Even elders are incapable of stopping little highness from openly talking about their aunt," The Town Master, Shan Xu said.
Pei Ju thinking of the blood connection of the two little highnesses and the Princess, it was unthinkable that they wouldn’t go find her after waking up. Especially when they had heard about what happened inside the ruins.
The clan master of the Pei Clan, Pei Ju can still remember that little girl who is a bit awkward with words but she is a good sister who takes good care of her younger siblings. When they heard that she had done something that even the elders of the Regal Lei Clan are incapable of doing, they felt awe and pity at the same time. Such a good girl is gone just like that.
"Lao Xu, how do you think the lady is doing?" Pei Ju asked with worry imprinted on his face.
Shan Xu said, "Didn’t Great General Shen say that the Sun Emperor had gone to see her? Maybe... they had found a way to save that child’s soul."
"I hope so..." Pei Ju said. "Let’s erect a barrier here to prevent people from going closer to the lady’s courtyard."
"Don’t worry. I had prepared everything," said Shan Xu.

In front of the Moon Goddess’ house...
Two men were confronting one another, with the elder one grabbing the younger one’s clothing glaring at the latter as if looking at some scumbag. Yue Huashui had enough of being ignored and controlled the water within the vicinity wanting to soak the two deaf adults wet and force them to separate.
The blue lotus flower spirit said, "Don’t ignore me!"
As a small wave of water suddenly about to splash on them, Shen Jueyang as the guardian of the children for a few weeks had gotten used to this antics of theirs and immediately escaped even from the clutches of the Thunder King. He nonchalantly twisting the wrist of Lei Yuye had stunned the owner of the hand and even made the man forget to dodge.
In the end, the proud Thunder King of the Regal Lei Clan had instantly become a drenched rat. Lei Yuye looked at the boy who controlled the water and the man he was grabbing just now. Both were completely dry while he was soaking water from head to toe.
Suddenly seeing their guest ending up like this Yue Huashui felt a bit guilty and immediately hid behind his Uncle Shen.
Yue Huashui said, "Uncle Shen, will the old man get angry and beat us up? Will mother scold me if she learns I treated our guest like this."
"She won’t. Xue’er likes you guys and will not get angry for something so simple." Shen Jueyang pats Yue Huashui’s head and says, "He won’t hit us. But go inside and ask the maid to prepare a warm bath and new clothes. Don’t worry. It’s okay."
Seeing the little boy run inside, Shen Jueyang turned his head to look at the senior in front of him who had now calmed down after bathing in water. The Thunder King continues to observe him even though it is more hidden now than his open hostility from before.
Thinking that the house would get wet too if he let this man enter in such a state, Shen Jueyang lifted a hand and used heat to dry the man’s clothes. Before welcoming them inside the house.
"Follow me inside. We can continue our conversation after you see Xue’er yourself," Shen Jueyang said.
Hearing such an intimate way of calling his niece’s name, Lei Yuye once again felt irritated. But the man had longed to go inside the courtyard ahead of him and the Thunder King had no other choice but to follow him in.
"Damn brat! You better explain to this old man what is your relationship with my niece!" Lei Yuye said. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Inside the courtyard, Lei Yuye was escorted by the puppet maids to take a warm bath. There is a huge warm pool inside the mansion which had heating formation and wouldn’t even lose to a real hot spring. Lei Yuye was soaking himself and relaxing inside the pool when the rude boy who had drenched him in cold water arrived with his bow head carrying spare clothing by his side.
Yue Huashui feeling extremely guilty would steal glances on the Thunder King making the latter feel skittish about the boy’s actions. Due to his large size and roguish behavior small children were mostly scared of him.
The Thunder King spoke, "Little boy, speak up and stop stealing glances. This old man is an uncle and not a beautiful lady."
Yue Huashui flinched under the loud voice of the Thunder King however, he didn’t run away like he did before. Instead, he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized to him for treating him like that even though he is a guest.
"I’m sorry for my rudeness, Grandpa! I shouldn’t have thrown water at you!" The sentient blue lotus flower spirit said.
The Thunder King had actually been observing this kid who had some similar features from his niece as if it was intentionally copied by the kid. But was not a natural one which is possessed by one’s birth. It was copied as a model and created a new face from it.
"Little boy, you are not human aren’t you? How come you call my niece your mother?" Lei Yuye asked.
Yue Huashui raised his head and looked at the big uncle before him, even bigger than his Uncle Shen and Uncle Yangyang. However, he didn’t look because he was afraid but was amazed by how strong he looked. He also heard what the big uncle had asked him and answered honestly.
He said, "Mom says it’s alright to call her as such. I am a sentient lotus flower spirit. It’s not only me, my other siblings are also flower spirits. We treat our master as mother and mother says we can call her any way we want. So she is our mother."
Accepting this fact as he had longed to know that his niece loves lotus flowers the most, he just listened and didn’t react much and asked, "That bas—I mean that uncle from before. Do you know who he is?"
"He is Uncle Shen. Mom called him Jueyang and told us to call him uncle. Mom and Uncle Shen are close as family and more!" Yue Huashui said.
Despite the cheerfulness of the voice of the boy’s explanation, the annoyance in the thunder king’s eyes just depends.
"I see. So they are... close!?"
Heh~
Lei Yuye was almost gritting his teeth as he held back his irritation and took his bath seriously trying to calm down the anger that filled his heart. As if he had met a pig thief that wanted to steal his family’s carefully cared for cabbage.
