Chapter 126: "My Brother-in-Law Is a Peerless Expert"

This mission was indeed quite challenging.

Earning the reverence of numerous fierce beasts and the favor of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, sounded quite difficult.

After all, he was currently only at the Soul Elder level, while those fierce beasts, if converted into human cultivation levels, were all above rank ninety-five, the Title Douluo level. And these were just the ordinary beast kings. Di Tian was even more terrifying; with his current power, even Qian Daoliu wasn't his match.

Trying to gain the reverence of so many fierce beasts felt somewhat unreliable.

However, it was fortunate that he had the guise of an ancient soul beast expert to lean on; he could at least bluff his way through. If worse came to worst, he could just boast his way out of trouble. Start with a few grand statements, and fill in the details as needed.

After all, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest were still quite "naive."

Compared to the schemes and plots of the human world, the soul beast realm was always simple and straightforward. If one became a beast king, they might be smarter than the average human, but they lacked the kind of intricate experiences found in the human world. Their thinking was simpler.

Otherwise, the soul beast race wouldn't have allowed humans to grow as they did. They would have eradicated them long before they rose to power.

He had seen enough novels and movies to know how to deceive them. If necessary, he could even make up some mythical beasts from the Shan Hai Jing.

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

She was an unparalleled beauty.

As the remnant half of the Dragon God, she must be utterly perfect. She was undoubtedly a peerless beauty.

There was no need to think too much about it; she was surely more beautiful than Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

If Zhu Zhuqing and the others were already so stunning, then how breathtaking must the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, be? Thinking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel a bit eager. If he could go to the Star Dou Core Area, not only could he complete his task, but he could also see how beautiful Gu Yuena was. It was definitely worth the trip.

However, the Silver Dragon King wasn't easy to win over. Living for three million years, she was no fool. Winning her favor would undoubtedly be challenging. But for such a beauty, the pursuit was all the more satisfying.

Just imagine, if he could win over the most powerful soul beast beauty, what kind of triumphant feeling that would be.

Collecting his thoughts, Zhao Ming returned to the present and looked at the Titan Giant Ape.

"Senior, what was that just now?" the Titan Giant Ape cautiously asked.

"Nothing, seeing you reminded me of some past events," Zhao Ming replied, shaking his head with a touch of melancholy.

"Could the memories Senior recalled be related to me?"

"That's right. Millions of years ago, I encountered a soul beast quite similar to you. But he was much stronger than you. He was a full one hundred and fifty meters tall," Zhao Ming casually mentioned.

But these words caused a storm in the Titan's heart.

The Titan Giant Ape clan indeed had their bloodline passed down from ancient times. Every time he and Sky Azure argued about whose bloodline was superior, Sky Azure never believed him. But now, hearing Senior say he had seen his ancestor millions of years ago proved he wasn't bluffing. Their clan was genuinely powerful.

"Senior, could you tell me more about my ancestor?" the Titan Giant Ape asked earnestly. He was eager to learn how his ancestor dominated the battlefield millions of years ago.

"That fellow was called King Kong and lived on an island called Skull Island. It was named that because it was filled with mountains of soul beast skeletons. Any soul beast that dared challenge him would be killed," Zhao Ming said nonchalantly.

"My ancestor was that powerful?" the Titan exclaimed, excited. Hearing Zhao Ming describe his ancestor's dominance and how no beast could rival him, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

"Yes, that little King Kong wasn't bad. Though he wasn't the most formidable of his time, he was still quite impressive. You, however, are far from his level now," Zhao Ming chuckled.

"I have failed my ancestors," the Titan said, lowering his head in shame. Hearing about his ancestor's overwhelming power, and then comparing it to his current self—unable to even defeat Sky Azure—he felt embarrassed.

"Not exactly. Originally, that little King Kong wasn't that powerful. It was only after I passed by Skull Island and bestowed him with some opportunities that he grew so strong. Still, it was his own talent that allowed him to reach that level," Zhao Ming said calmly.

"Opportunities?" The Titan's eyes lit up.

Just a small opportunity allowed his ancestor to become so powerful. If he could obtain something similar, would he be able to surpass Sky Azure? And if the opportunity was even greater, could he match the soul beasts in the Star Dou Core Area?

"Since you're Xiao Wu's little brother, it stands to reason that I'm also your brother-in-law. Perhaps one day, I can give you a similar opportunity," Zhao Ming smiled.

"Brother-in-law?"

The Titan was momentarily stunned.

He finally noticed that there was something unusual between Xiao Wu and Zhao Ming.

Turning his massive head to look at his shoulder, he saw Zhao Ming holding Xiao Wu's slender waist, with Xiao Wu leaning into Zhao Ming's chest.

In an instant, he understood, and he grew excited.

"Xiao Wu, is it true? Are you really in a relationship with Senior?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Wu replied, slightly annoyed.

Upon learning that Zhao Ming was his brother-in-law, the Titan could no longer contain his emotions.

The Senior was his brother-in-law. Such a peerless expert was his brother-in-law. This news was simply too exhilarating.

He knew that from this moment on, he, the Titan, was no longer the weakest among the fierce beasts, simply because he had a brother-in-law who was a peerless expert. With his brother-in-law's presence, he could finally hold his head high, and the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Core Area would also respect him.

"Senior, may I call you brother-in-law from now on?" the Titan asked, his voice trembling.

"Of course," Zhao Ming replied with a smile toward Xiao Wu.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's face was filled with a blissful smile. There was nothing more joyful than having her loved one recognized by her family. She had been worried, thinking that since Zhao Ming was human, Da Ming and Er Ming might not like him. Though they wouldn't say anything for her sake, it could make future interactions difficult.

But now, it seemed there was no such problem at all.

From Er Ming's reaction, it even seemed that they were proud, thrilled, and excited about her choice.

It was like bringing your boyfriend home and having your family praise your taste. Everyone needs that sense of recognition, especially Xiao Wu.

Right now, she only had Da Ming and Er Ming as her friends. Their acceptance of Zhao Ming made her happier than anything.

This was the man she had chosen, the man she would love for the rest of her life.

No matter when, be it day or night, he could always bring her surprises and happiness.

Leaning against Zhao Ming's chest, Xiao Wu gazed at him tenderly, her eyes filled with affection.
