Chapter 318: Pampering the Puppy
"Huh?"
Yu An was stunned.
’What does he mean, "added a few more"? What have I added?’
"Did someone seduce you?" Ao Wu’s eyes welled with tears. "Who was it? I’ll kill him!"
’The house is already so crowded. Now it’s going to be even more...’
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Following Ao Wu’s gaze, Yu An finally understood what he meant.
She looked exasperated. "I haven’t added anyone. You all are more than enough."
’It’s not like I have a death wish. The house is already chaotic enough with these six. If I added someone new, my poor back wouldn’t survive!’
"An’an, you’re lying," Ao Wu buried his head in her embrace, his voice muffled. "I wasn’t by your side, and the others who went back to the temple weren’t here either. Don’t tell me this is a dog bite?"
"I’m not the jealous type. Why hide it from me? I’ll be sure to... get... along... with... our new little brother!"
While he was on Overlord Mountain, he heard from some passersby that there was unusual activity near the Five Great Divine Palaces, so he guessed that Mo Yan and the others had returned.
Ao Wu didn’t know that Han Li had become a Blood Crystal for a while. So when he saw the mark on Yu An’s chest, he jumped to the conclusion that she had taken a new partner.
So much for getting along; he was actually grinding his teeth hard enough to shatter them.
Yu An burst out laughing. "Why would I lie to you? There really is no one new."
She quickly explained what had happened, and the gloomy expression on Ao Wu’s face instantly brightened.
"So it really was a bite," he said, delighted. "An’an, that Han Li really doesn’t know how to be gentle."
Ao Wu murmured something and pounced on her like a puppy to continue what they’d started.
It had been a very, very long time, and in his eagerness, he made Yu An let out a muffled groan, tears welling at the corners of her eyes.
"And you call Han Li a dog? I think you’re the one who’s... Sss, be gentler!"
"That’s right," Ao Wu said, not the least bit embarrassed. In fact, he looked proud. "I’m An’an’s little puppy. Won’t my master pamper her little puppy?~"
A collar forged from a Dragon Scale materialized around his neck. He offered it to Yu An, wanting her to hold it.
It was the one he had put on himself during their first encounter in the Endless Sea.
The temperature in the room gradually climbed. The man’s hands and mouth were relentless, and a stream of shameless words, which he must have learned from who-knows-where, kept spilling from his lips.
Flushed with embarrassment, Yu An pounded on him, but he caught her wrist and brought it to his lips for a kiss.
"An’an, I know you like it. I can feel it."
His low chuckle vibrated through his chest. "Don’t be shy. Here, touch it."
He guided her hand and placed it there. A moment ago, she had been limp all over because of Ao Wu, but now, a desire for revenge sparked within her, and she didn’t hold back at all.
"Sss—"
"So ruthless."
Ao Wu’s eyes turned red, and he decided to retaliate in kind.
It was a night of give-and-take, and they didn’t sleep at all.
In the very end, Ao Wu, who had been abstinent for a long time, claimed victory. Yu An conceded defeat, but after a round of begging for mercy... she was not let off the hook.
Ao Wu gallantly called it helping her get some exercise.
"Giving up already? An’an, you need to exercise more!"
Yu An was too tired to move. She rolled her eyes. "Do whatever you want... you bad dragon..."
’I’ll get even with this merciless dragon tomorrow,’ she thought hazily.
Ao Wu, oblivious to the doom that awaited him, couldn’t stop kissing her. He was reluctant to sleep, terrified that if he closed his eyes, his fragrant, soft Female Master would disappear again.
Yu An was so exhausted she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. Ao Wu, meanwhile, had eyes only for his beloved. Neither of them realized they had forgotten something important.
Ao Wu had arrived in the middle of the night, and besides Yu An and Han Li, no one else knew.
So, when everyone emerged the next day, the Zaizai thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.
"Beast Father Ao Wu?"
"Whoa! It’s a live Beast Father Ao Wu!"
The Zaizai swarmed over and instantly surrounded Ao Wu.
Ao Wu scooped up five of them at once, kissing them one by one. "That’s right, it’s Beast Father Ao Wu."
"Zaizai, have you all been behaving lately? You haven’t made your Female Mother angry, have you?"
"Of course not," Da Hu said with a proud look. "We’ve been very well-behaved, and we’ve been training the whole time."
Xiao Hu and Little Serpent nodded vigorously. "Us too."
Xiao Yu boasted, "My Talent Ability is getting stronger and stronger! Beast Father Ao Wu, I can control you for a super long time now!"
"Whoa, not bad at all!"
Ao Wu checked their spiritual power. "Come on, let’s go spar."
Little Wolf blinked. "Beast Father Ao Wu, um..."
"Hurry up, little brother! Let’s all go gang up on Beast Father Ao Wu!"
When Xiao Yu saw that Little Wolf wasn’t moving, he rushed over to pull him along.
And just like that, his train of thought was broken.
It wasn’t until Yu An got out of bed that Little Wolf remembered again. "Beast Father Ao Wu, where’s our little sister?"
Yu An froze mid-yawn. Ao Wu, who was playing with the Zaizai, also froze.
Han Li, who was massaging Yu An’s shoulders and muttering about how Ao Wu didn’t know how to be gentle, immediately fell silent as well.
Yu An, Han Li, and all the Zaizai turned to Ao Wu and asked in unison, "Ao Wu, where is Fuzai?"
Ao Wu finally remembered the real reason he’d left Overlord Mountain. Under their combined stare, he mumbled weakly, "I... I’m looking for her, too..."
"What do you mean?" Yu An shot to her feet. "Fuzai is lost?!"
"No, no!" Ao Wu said hastily. "An’an, don’t panic. Let me explain everything slowly..."
He explained how he and Fuzai had returned to the Upper Realm, and recounted his glorious achievements on Overlord Mountain. And, of course, most importantly, he explained how Fuzai had gotten lost—ah, no, how she’d run away.
"An’an, you really don’t need to worry too much. Fuzai is incredibly clever, way more capable than I was at her age."
"I also left some of my spiritual power on her. If she runs into danger, it will emerge to protect her."
Even so, Yu An couldn’t rest easy. She immediately decided to postpone her trip to the temple. Finding that little rascal Fuzai came first.
Ao Wu had followed her aura all the way here, which meant Fuzai was very likely somewhere in Earth Geography City.
"There is indeed a trace of Fuzai’s aura here," Ao Wu said, wrinkling his nose. "But I’m not sure if she’s still around."
"An’an, try not to worry. The Upper Realm is under the control of the Heaven and Earth Stone. If anything were to happen to Fuzai, it wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing—it’s her uncle, after all."
In any case, Ao Wu was pretty laid-back about it. He was still worried, of course—it would be best to find Fuzai quickly—but he didn’t think they needed to panic if they couldn’t.
The corner of Yu An’s mouth twitched. "With a Beast Father like you, the Zaizai are just so lucky!"
They headed out after breakfast. With a sudden new person in their group, Yu An took a moment to introduce Ao Wu to Mo Yan and the other two.
Ao Wu didn’t know them well. So much time had passed that they were practically strangers.
Upon learning that a Zaizai was "lost out in the world," Mo Yan and his two companions couldn’t sit still either, and they suggested splitting up to search for her.
"Earth Geography City is huge. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack... I have an idea."
An idea suddenly struck Yu An. She led the group, Bounty Order in hand, to the Yu Family estate.
’Instead of them searching aimlessly, it would be better to have the most powerful family in Earth Geography City help them look.’
At that moment in the Yu Family estate, the Yu Family Master was still in a coma. Yu Yao wanted to make a trip to the Heaven and Earth Illusion Realm, but the elders forbade it.
To put it bluntly, even if they lost the Family Head, they absolutely could not let anything happen to the Young Master!
