Chapter 497: An Excited Tang Yuehua, Preparing to Set Sail!_1

Tang Yuehua shook her head.

"Brother Yu, you aren't wrong at all, so how can you speak of atoning for your merits?"

"If you truly know the whereabouts of Grandfather, the entire Hao Tian Clan will be thankful to you."

Luo Yu wasn't surprised by this.

After all, Tang Chen was equivalent to the soul of the Hao Tian Clan, and even the esteemed ancestor of this generation of the clan.

Why else would the Hao Tian Clan currently be hiding in the mountains, secluded from the world if not because Tang Chen had gone missing?

Luo Yu said, "I can help you find Tang Chen."

"Where is Grandfather?" Tang Yuehua's face was filled with delight, never expecting the man could bring such a surprise.

"Yuehua, don't be too quick to rejoice," Luo Yu said with furrowed brows, "His current situation isn't very good."

"Huh?" Tang Yuehua was startled. "With Grandfather's cultivation level being the highest in Soul Land, how could anyone harm him?"

Luo Yu said, "You should be very clear that when Tang Chen disappeared that year, it was to pursue the inheritance of the deities."

"The inheritance of the deities, he really found it."

"Brother Yu, do you mean that Grandfather encountered an accident while accepting the inheritance?" Tang Yuehua was astonished.

"Correct, to put it simply, your grandfather was ambushed by another deity while accepting the inheritance, resulting in his current state of unclear consciousness."

Tang Yuehua opened her mouth slightly, completely shocked by Luo Yu's explanation.

"Then isn't Grandfather in great danger now?"

Luo Yu had intended to be completely honest, but on second thought, spilling everything seemed pointless, and would only make the woman anxious.

So, he comforted her, "Yuehua, don't worry, he's just trapped. I'll rescue him."

"Where is Grandfather trapped?" Tang Yuehua's pretty face was full of urgency.

Luo Yu shook his head.

"Don't panic, I can assure you, I will definitely rescue him and bring him back to you."

Looking into the man's confident and determined eyes, the anxiety in Tang Yuehua's heart began to ease.

"I was out of line, Brother Yu."

"No, it's only natural," Luo Yu shook his head.

Tang Yuehua voiced her worry: "Brother Yu, dealing with the affairs of deities, if you go to rescue Grandfather, could you encounter danger?"

"If that's really the case, just give me the address. I and my elder brother can give it a try. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you, and we can't drag you in."

Luo Yu waved his hand, blinking.

"What are you talking about? Aren't we family?"

Tang Yuehua's slender body trembled, her beautiful eyes brimming with emotion.

Luo Yu sighed inwardly.

Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen, you're lucky to have encountered me.

Otherwise, relying on your great-grandson Tang San, it would be good enough if he didn't poison you to death, let alone rescue you…

Luo Yu curled the corner of his mouth.

It seems the father and son duo, Tang Hao and his son, never really did anything beneficial for the Hao Tian Clan from start to finish.

It was all about their own interests.

"Yuehua, I need to take a trip out to sea soon to enhance my strength. After that, I'll go to that place and rescue your grandfather."

Tang Yuehua, well aware of Luo Yu's current strength, realized that since even he was so cautious, it showed how dangerous the place entrapping her grandfather must be.

"Brother Yu, maybe I should return to the Hao Tian Clan for a while. There are a number of Hyper Douluo and Titled Douluos who are elders, I'll ask them to help you."

Luo Yu smiled, caressing her blue hair.

"You, don't worry yourself so much, just eat well and sleep well."

"Look at you, you've gotten thinner."

"You look so haggard, it hurts me, you know."

Tang Yuehua pursed her lips, her eyes seemingly glistening as she nodded silently.

"I understand, Brother Yu."

"That… are you sure we don't need to ask for help from the clan?" Tang Yuehua asked worriedly.

"Oh, come on."

Luo Yu dug at his ear.

"That place is very dangerous, and it's currently harboring unknown dangers even I'm not clear of. If your Hao Tian Clan were to be wiped out, no one would come out."

Tang Yuehua was caught in a dilemma.

She sincerely wanted to see her grandfather.

But she didn't want Luo Yu to take such a risk.

Luo Yu reached out, gently rubbing Tang Yuehua's furrowed brow.

"Relax, you're not pretty when you're too tense," he teased.

"You, always finding the time to tease people at a moment like this," Tang Yuehua said with mock annoyance.

"I'm not just in the mood for teasing, I also have my heart..." Luo Yu drawled, letting his words trail off as his gaze swept over Tang Yuehua's exquisitely graceful figure.

The convalescent beauty of Tang Yuehua only added a delicate weakness that was mesmerizing.

"Brother Yu, if you want, then carry me back to my room," she said.

"Yuehua... Yuehua has always been yours," she whispered.

Tang Yuehua's eyelashes trembled slightly as she bit her thin lips, closed her eyes, and opened her arms, like delicate lotuses unfolding.

Luo Yu didn't hesitate, lifting the fragile beauty before him in a princess carry and quickly heading upstairs.

He arrived at the lady's boudoir.

He placed Tang Yuehua on the bed shrouded in pink gauze.

He helped her out of her outer garments, revealing a body perfectly enwrapped in thin gauze.

Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes remained tightly shut, her fluttering eyelids betraying her inner turmoil.

She had thought that something subtle would happen in the next moment.

Yet she found the man made no further moves.

Instead, he propped up a pillow for her and covered her with a blanket.

"Hmm?"

Tang Yuehua opened her eyes, her gaze full of surprise as she looked at Luo Yu, bewildered by her own readiness.

Why wasn't the man approaching her?

This was different from usual.

Luo Yu sat by the bed, his large hand caressing Tang Yuehua's smooth and tender cheek.

"Get some sleep, you haven't rested well lately," he said gently.

"Brother Yu..."

Tang Yuehua's vulnerable heart was deeply touched by Luo Yu's tender actions, her nose tingling and her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

"Don't worry, I won't leave," Luo Yu whispered.

Tang Yuehua shook her head, pursing her lips.

"Brother Yu, if you have any thoughts... I'm okay with it..." she murmured.

"Okay my ass," Luo Yu laughed and scolded, "You know what my strength is like."

"You're not good enough."

"Tch, look who's talking!" she retorted playfully.

Tang Yuehua protested, "How could I be as useless as you say, that's too much."

"Alright, alright, get some rest," Luo Yu urged.

"How can I sleep with you just sitting there by my side?" Tang Yuehua pouted, her lips moist, her beautiful eyes regaining their usual lively sparkle.

Luo Yu opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Then how do you want to sleep?" he asked.

Without speaking, Tang Yuehua simply lifted the quilt and patted the spot beside her, her voice tender, gentle and wise, with a touch of shyness.

"I can't sleep alone, I need my husband to hold me."

"Ah... this..."

Luo Yu felt guilty, uncertain if he could resist the temptation once he was close.

"Brother Yu, am I a tiger? Are you really that afraid to come closer to me?" Tang Yuehua spoke plaintively.

"Yuehua, have you ever heard of 'an accidental discharge'?" Luo Yu glared at her.

Tang Yuehua blinked her beautiful eyes, a visage of distress befitting a noblewoman with a girlish vulnerability.

"Brother Yu, come over here~"

"Hiss—"

Luo Yu took a deep breath.

His inner voice marveled at her power.

Don't be like this, enchantress.

I was trying to be a good man here.

In the end, Luo Yu couldn't deny Tang Yuehua's request and wrapped his arms around her.
