Chapter 140: Raiden Shogun, Full Attention to Detail!

Chapter 140: Raiden Shogun, Full Attention to Detail!

Liu Erlong had seen Raiden Shogun and Shui Yue'er before, but her current remark was mainly to ease the awkward atmosphere and, secondarily, to understand the relationship between Shui Yue'er and Kong.

There was also another reason—it was simply polite small talk.

Kong's answer was fine, but calling Shui Yue'er "a top student from Tianshui Academy" left her quite dissatisfied. Couldn't he at least say they were friends?

How infuriating!

Flender's eyes flickered as he glanced between Kong and Liu Erlong, clearly deep in thought about something.

Raiden Shogun quietly continued eating, showing no hint of emotion.

"It's an honor to meet Kong's aunt. Greetings, Aunt Erlong," Shui Yue'er said politely as she bowed to Liu Erlong.

She didn't know that the woman in front of her was actually her mother Shui Ningshuang's best friend.

Shui Yue'er's courtesy was merely a sign of basic respect. Despite Kong calling Liu Erlong his "dear aunt" and Liu Erlong referring to Kong as her "dear nephew," Shui Yue'er could tell that their relationship wasn't as good as it seemed—there was likely some tension between them.

If Shui Yue'er were to become Kong's wife in the future, she'd surely have to deal with his relatives, so it was better to get used to it now.

There was another detail that hinted at the rocky relationship between Kong and Liu Erlong.

Raiden Shogun, Kong's wife, paid no attention to the newcomers and continued eating in silence. If that wasn't proof of strained relations between Kong and Liu Erlong, what was?

"No need for formalities, Miss Yue'er," Liu Erlong said, waving her hand. She knew who Shui Yue'er was; she was merely probing to see the nature of her relationship with Kong. To her surprise, there didn't seem to be much of a connection.

Wait a minute... maybe there was something?

The way Shui Yue'er looked at Kong wasn't quite right. This seemed to be another case of unrequited love, where one party was deeply interested, but the other wasn't!

After all, Kong was such an outstanding young man. It was perfectly normal for girls to admire him.

Liu Erlong would never forget the time Kong visited the Blue Tyrant Academy, surrounded by adoring female students.

"Just eat, let's not talk about all this nonsense," Kong muttered, slightly annoyed.

He divided the freshly grilled food among them before continuing to prepare new skewers.

His previously sour mood had improved significantly after discovering that Yu Xiaogang turned out to be such a "great teammate."

If his half-aunt Liu Erlong still chose to ignore Yu Xiaogang's true nature after learning the truth, there wouldn't be much he could do.

Judging by the lingering hostility in Flender and Liu Erlong, however, the chances of reconciliation were slim.

Liu Erlong, Shui Yue'er, and Flender instinctively took the skewers. Kong's comment made Liu Erlong and Shui Yue'er pause, as if they had more to say.

"Hm?"

After taking a bite, Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. Why did this taste so good?

The sound of enthusiastic eating soon filled the air.

Though Liu Erlong and Shui Yue'er should have maintained their ladylike demeanor, the food was just too delicious. They couldn't control themselves!

Since there were no "outsiders" around, they didn't care about appearances.

Time passed quickly, and about an hour later, Kong realized that he had unknowingly grilled all the ingredients. He couldn't help but be surprised.

The three of them still looked like they hadn't had enough. What was going on here?

Well, it wasn't their fault—after all, Douluo Continent didn't have many tasty foods, at least not yet.

"Here."

Raiden Shogun handed Kong some skewers and blinked.

Kong glanced at Liu Erlong, Flender, and Shui Yue'er and sighed inwardly. In the end, it was still his dear wife who cared the most about him!

Attention to detail is key. His wife, the Shogun, had certainly paid attention to the smallest things this time!

Despite her quiet demeanor, only she noticed that Kong hadn't eaten anything.

"You take these back and eat them later. I'm not hungry yet," Kong smiled.

Raiden Shogun thought for a moment before nodding.

Seeing this, Shui Yue'er suddenly felt that the barbecue didn't taste as good anymore. Why hadn't she thought to save some food for Kong?

Raiden Shogun casually waved her hand, and a spatial rift appeared. She placed the skewers inside before quietly looking back at Kong.

This scene sent shockwaves through Liu Erlong and Flender!

Goodness, without releasing a martial soul or exhibiting any fluctuations of spirit power, Raiden Shogun casually tore open space!

This move truly gave the two of them a fright!

Ripping space apart with just a wave of her hand!

The most absurd part? There was no detectable spirit power fluctuation at all!

Is this something a human could even do?

You'd think she was using a storage soul tool to store things away—that would at least be more reasonable!

But tearing space like this? That's just beyond human capabilities!

While shocked, the two briefly considered that perhaps Raiden Shogun's martial soul had something to do with space.

The absence of spirit power fluctuations might just be due to the special nature of her space attribute, preventing them from sensing any spatial ripples.

They swallowed nervously. Regardless of the reason, it was clear that this woman's spirit power level couldn't possibly be low; otherwise, she couldn't have casually torn open space like that.

A powerhouse—Raiden Shogun was definitely a top-tier powerhouse!

Kong naturally noticed the expressions on Flender and Liu Erlong's faces, but he didn't say anything.

With his current strength, there was no need to play the part of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"W-what was that?"

Shui Yue'er was stunned, recalling the scene she had just witnessed.

Raiden Shogun casually waved her hand, causing space beside her to shatter as she put the skewers into it. Then, the broken space seemed to repair itself, as if nothing had happened.

"???"

Shui Yue'er's head was full of question marks. She couldn't make sense of what she had just seen.

What on earth just happened?

She glanced at Liu Erlong and Flender, thinking that since they were older and more experienced, they might know something.

But the moment she looked at them, she was shocked again. Liu Erlong and Flender were both staring in disbelief, their faces numb with shock, leaving Shui Yue'er at a loss for words.

"Raiden Shogun, dear niece-in-law, may I ask about your spirit power level? Of course, if it's a secret, you don't have to answer."

Liu Erlong asked cautiously. She felt that this Raiden Shogun was definitely no ordinary person.

As expected, a monstrously talented wife matched a monstrously talented husband!

"Niece-in-law? Such a strange term," Raiden Shogun murmured softly, glancing at Kong before responding indifferently, "My strength is at the seventy-third level, Soul Saint."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong and Flender suddenly had a moment of clarity!

So that's it?

A seventy-third level Soul Saint!

Raiden Shogun looked like she wasn't even thirty, yet she had already reached the level of Soul Saint. Such talent was truly monstrous!

Wasn't it almost guaranteed that she would become a Titled Douluo in the future?

Of course, what they didn't know was that if Raiden Shogun hadn't become Kong's martial soul, her strength would have been... well, let's just say much more extraordinary.
