Invincible Dad-Chapter 659 Let Me Take a Look_1

The Elders looked at one another in dismay. They didn’t understand what the Crown Prince suddenly meant.

"I wonder which Elder informed my father about the eleven Human Race Golden Core experts."

Ji Gui’s words came to an abrupt halt as his gaze swept across the sixteen Supreme Elders of the Crescent Moon Clan. The latter all feigned composure, acting as if the informant the Crown Prince spoke of was not among them.

"Of course, I’m not here to assign blame. I simply wish to remind you, Elders, that some things must be taken to the grave." With his hands clasped behind his back, Ji Gui’s voice suddenly turned menacing. "This concerns our Moon Clan’s ten-thousand-year plan. There can be no mistakes!"

"Naturally." Mou Yuan, a Supreme Elder of the Upper Crescent, spoke in a grave voice. As the one with the highest cultivation Boundary among them, on the verge of the Nascent Soul realm, his words carried weight. "Rest assured, Crown Prince. We know what to say and what not to say."

"However..." Mou Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply. "I fear the Human Race has also received a secret message. That day before the Sea of the Moon, someone crushed a Jade Slip to transmit information."

"It doesn’t matter," Ji Gui said, unfazed. "They only know it was a member of the Moon Clan, but not that it was my father."

With that, the island fell into a brief silence.

Ji Gui greedily breathed in the Spiritual Energy. Earth’s Spiritual Energy was still poor, but it was far richer than the Moon’s.

These Zhu Langs are simply wasting such rich Spiritual Energy. Their right to Cultivation should be revoked, and they should be penned up in designated areas. Both the territory and the Spiritual Energy should belong to the Moon Clan. To be more precise, they all belong to him, the future Moon King!

Ever since his last ’frank’ conversation with his father, Ji Gui no longer had any doubts about the security of his position as Crown Prince. His father was training him, eagerly awaiting his growth.

I must not disappoint my father! Ji Gui was full of high spirits.

He had volunteered to lead this expedition to Earth to hunt down Xu Lai, hoping to present a perfect report card and reassure his father that the future of the Moon Clan could be entrusted to him.

"Crown Prince, what should we do now?" Mou Yuan inquired. "Shall we head directly to Mount Haitang to intercept Xu Lai?"

"There’s no rush. Since we’ve just arrived on Earth, we should naturally hunt some Zhu Langs to replenish ourselves first." Ji Gui’s pupils flickered with greed.

The Moon Clan’s Blood Moon Technique required vast amounts of fresh blood for Cultivation. Unlike ordinary members of the Moon Clan, Crown Prince Ji Gui and the sixteen Supreme Elders of the Crescent Moon Clan had already achieved minor mastery of the technique. To truly master it, however, required the blood of tens of millions of the Human Race to bring it to perfection.

This was Ji Gui’s first visit to Earth. On the Moon, he had to consider the bigger picture and was wary of his father, not daring to go on a killing spree. But here on Earth, there were no such concerns.

WHOOSH—

A blood-red full moon, incredibly eerie and terrifying, rose behind Ji Gui. With the island as its epicenter, all living creatures within a ten-nautical-mile radius began to convulse and tremble as streams of blood-red energy swiftly merged into the blood moon behind him.

A moment later, Ji Gui opened his eyes and licked his lips with unmistakable bloodlust. "The vitality in these creatures is weak. It’s nothing compared to the Zhu Langs."

His gaze was profound. It pierced the darkness, fixing on the nearest island—Chang Island!

There were fewer than a hundred people on the island. Although there were very few, hardly even a mouthful, Ji Gui could no longer restrain his bloodlust and shot into the sky.

"I’ll go hunt first. Wait here for me; I’ll be right back!"

As his voice echoed, Ji Gui had already vanished.

「Chang Island.」

Xu Lai held Ruan Tang’s hand as they strolled along the beach. The sky had turned overcast at some point, obscuring the clouds and stars, making the solitary island feel as if it were about to be swallowed by darkness. Only a few scattered lights on the island continued to shine brightly against the gloom.

Xu Lai gently squeezed Ruan Tang’s soft little hand and asked with a smile, "So, what’s this surprise you had for me?"

Ruan Tang didn’t answer. Instead, she wriggled free from Xu Lai, took off her shoes, and tentatively dipped a bare foot into the seawater. The moment it touched, she jumped back a meter as if shocked.

"So cold."

Though she said it was cold, Ruan Tang remained barefoot, now walking on the dry sand instead of in the water. Xu Lai tossed his shoes into his Storage Space and followed her. They walked for about five minutes.

Ruan Tang suddenly said with concern, "It looks like it’s going to rain."

"It won’t."

"Really? It won’t?"

"Yep."

Xu Lai nodded. He couldn’t believe Heavenly Dao would be that stubborn.

"That’s good." Ruan Tang patted her chest, somewhat relieved.

She stopped and turned to face Xu Lai, a faint blush on her cheeks. "Xu Lai, close your eyes."

Xu Lai immediately did as he was told. He felt a pleasant warmth around his neck and nose. "What is it?" he asked patiently.

"You can open your eyes now."

"Uh..." Xu Lai was stunned. His dear wife had actually knitted him a scarf, and a woolen one at that.

"Do you like it?" Ruan Tang’s beautiful eyes shimmered with anticipation.

Xu Lai’s expression was complicated. It was May, and summer was just around the corner in East Sea City. The season was a bit off.

"Fine, if you don’t like it." Seeing no response, Ruan Tang’s pretty face grew stern, and she reached out as if to take the scarf off.

But Xu Lai pulled her into a tight embrace. "If it’s from you, I love it."

"You clearly don’t."

"I love it! I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow, and I’ll even wear it when I eat."

"You silly. You should save it for autumn and winter. Aren’t you afraid of getting a heat rash now?" Ruan Tang chided.

"If a heat rash can form on me, I’ll admit it’s impressive."

"..." Ruan Tang couldn’t help but playfully punch his shoulder, then said softly, "Actually, Liu Wan was secretly knitting a sweater for Taotie at the office, so I learned a little from her."

"Knitting sweaters now?" Xu Lai gasped.

"She’s a slow knitter, so it’ll probably be ready by autumn or winter." Ruan Tang said with a blink, "Not everyone is as nimble-fingered as your wife, you know. It only took me a month to knit this scarf." She didn’t mention, however, that she had delegated most of her work to her secretary over the past month.

Xu Lai fell silent. He looked down and saw a few small, already-healed cuts on her soft, boneless hands, clearly from where she had pricked herself while knitting.

Noticing his gaze, Ruan Tang awkwardly hid her hands behind her back.

"Thank you," Xu Lai said with a smile. "I really love the scarf. This is truly a surprise."

"Humph." Ruan Tang shot him a sidelong glance. "I’m sure Mr. Xu has received countless gifts of this kind."

Xu Lai didn’t comment.

In his hundred thousand years, he had received countless gifts. There were priceless divine medicines and peerlessly beautiful Fairies, but none of them had made him as happy as this scarf.

"There’s one more thing. The company has a new line for young couples." Ruan Tang’s ears turned red, and she shyly lowered her head. "I... I brought two pieces with me."

Here it comes.

A wide grin spread across Xu Lai’s face. "Perfect. Since there’s no one around, let me see."
