Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

In Beast Emperor City.

Huang Baitao's face showed grave concern, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiao, I have already dispatched people to prepare the latest model of warship. When you travel through the undersea current channel, you will only need one day to reach the riotous sea region!"

If they were to sail normally...

Even if they took a Flying Boat, it would take at least three to five days to reach the riotous sea region.

But Huang Baitao and his team had actually developed a warship capable of diving deep into the sea and using the undersea currents as channels, taking the fastest and smoothest route. Not only was it more secure and stable, but the speed was also several times faster than surface navigation.

Xiao Yi nodded. His mind was completely preoccupied with the safety of the people with Lin Bingxin, and his complexion was rather poor: "I just hope we're not too late!"

"Everything will be all right!"

Huang Baitao patted Xiao Yi's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Nowadays, who inside and outside Southern State does not know that the riotous sea region and the Beast Emperor Sea both belong to the Daqian Dynasty. What's more, with the experts from Xiaoshanhe Institute, there will definitely not be any problems!"

Xiao Yi made an acknowledging sound, but his heart remained heavy with worry.

Although he did not harbor romantic feelings for Lin Bingxin, she had once shown kindness to him because of Elder Yan.

As for the second reason...

Xiao Yi understood Lin Bingxin's feelings for him, but in his heart, he already had Fang Qingzhu, and had been deliberately ignoring Lin Bingxin's affections.

Every time he saw Lin Bingxin's mournful eyes and her pretense of indifference, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel guilty. He would naturally not stand by and watch her fall into danger without lending a hand.

Huang Yuwei, who was standing beside them, saw all this and couldn't help feeling a touch of sorrow: He must also care a lot about the sister called Bing Xin, right? I wonder if he would worry about me this way if I went missing...

"City Lord, the warship is ready!" the voice of a strong figure from Beast Emperor City interrupted Huang Yuwei's thoughts.

Huang Baitao nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Yi, "Xiao, be careful on your journey!"

"Understood!"

Xiao Yi nodded, gestured, and led Ye Heng and the other two towards the docks.

Huang Baitao, seeing Huang Yuwei distracted, sighed softly and patted her head, "Silly girl, what are you daydreaming about? If you love him, then go for it with all your might, even if the outcome isn't what you wish for, at least when you're old you won't regret not having tried..."

"Daddy, I..."

Huang Yuwei opened her mouth, looking incredulously at Huang Baitao.

Before this,

Huang Baitao had been sure that there was no future between her and Xiao Yi and did not support her pursuit of him.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Huang Baitao ruffled her hair, "Hurry up now, or you'll miss your chance!"

"Daddy..."

Huang Yuwei's eyes reddened, she hugged her father tight, burying herself in Huang Baitao's embrace. After a moment, she let go, wiped her eyes, and said, "Take care, daddy. I have to go now!"

Whoosh!

Huang Yuwei turned into a streak of yellow light, heading straight for the docks.

Watching her departing figure,

Huang Baitao sighed deeply, "A girl grown cannot be kept at home..."

...

Inside the warship.

Huang Yuwei found herself facing a crowd of onlookers.

Xiao Yi, caught between amusement and helplessness, said, "Yuwei, you came too?"

Jin Feiyan's nose wrinkled slightly; she had been following closely behind Fang Qingzhu the whole time during her visit. Calling her 'mentor' and 'ma'am', she had received quite a few gifts from Fang Qingzhu.

In her opinion...

Every suitor trying to get close to Xiao Yi was seen as a challenge to Fang Qingzhu's position.

So naturally, Huang Yuwei wasn't met with any friendly faces.

Hmph!

Jin Feiyan snorted through her nose, a displeased expression on her face as she looked at Huang Yuwei and taunted in a mocking tone, "Some people really do have thick faces, our master didn't bring you along, yet here you are tagging along on your own!"

Huang Yuwei glanced at her but didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Daddy said the Chaotic Sea Region is full of dangers. I was born with a natural closeness to the sea and can sense things you folks cannot. With my help, we're bound to find them much faster!"

Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Indeed, Huang Yuwei wasn't lying; she had a natural affinity for the water.

Such an ability was almost akin to that of a Sea Demon!

Xiao Yi had realized this the very first time they met. With her assistance, finding someone in the vast sea would indeed be a lot more convenient.

Xiao Yi nodded and motioned for the Beast Emperor City warrior to pilot the warship out of the harbor.

Out on the boundless ocean...

The warship began to submerge, revealing the underwater world in its entirety. The deep sea, thousands and tens of thousands of meters down, soon became pitch dark as they dived deeper, to the point where they couldn't see their own hands. Suddenly, the voice of the Beast Emperor City warrior came from the front, "We're about to enter the undercurrent. Everybody hold tight!"

Boom!

The warship shook violently as it pierced through a fast-moving curtain of water and entered the undercurrent passage.

Whoosh...

The warship followed the undercurrent, swiftly heading towards the tumultuous sea region.

A day went by in the blink of an eye.

When they reemerged on the surface, they had already arrived at the Huang Family's main base.

The huge port was empty, not a single soul in sight.

As Xiao Yi stepped out from the warship, a yellow figure sprinted towards the dock. Amidst the mad dash, his face revealed an ecstatic and excited expression, and his sharp voice shouted, "Xiao Yi, brother, I've finally seen you again..."

Xiao Yi...

Brother?

Xiao Yi, standing on the warship, shuddered, feeling a chill down his spine.

He turned around sharply.

And saw a figure with a willowy waist and a coquettish demeanor, heavily made up ... a man running wildly towards him. His outstretched hands smeared with rouge and powder, his colorful face puckered up with a big mouth, ready for a kiss.

"Fuck..."

Xiao Yi's muscles tensed, and he instinctively lashed out with a spinning kick, hitting the newcomer's face with a loud bang, sending him flying.

Huang Tianfang screamed in agony.

Half of his face was completely twisted as he spun dozens of times in mid-air before slamming hard onto the ground, lying flat like the letter 'X,' his legs twitching frantically.

Looking utterly bewildered.

Foam spewed from his mouth!

On the warship, Ye Heng and the others just emerging from the hold stared dumbfounded: "Master, what's going on?"

Jin Feiyan was equally astonished, "Who is this ghastly fellow? Could his appearance be related to Bingxin and the others' disappearance?"

Huang Yuwei's eye twitched, speaking with a weird look on her face, "That's the Huang Family's young master, Huang Tianfang, his father being Huang Feihu." She paused, casting a complicated glance at Xiao Yi, and continued slowly, "According to my father, ever since meeting Xiao last time, he's been head-over-heels in love with him. Driven to madness by love, completely irrational and locked up in the family's forbidden grounds. Now it seems likely that when the Huangs went looking for Bingxin and the others, he managed to escape..."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Ye Heng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

PS: Thinking about how to deal with Huang Tianfang, wuu wuu...
