The shabby carriage swayed away slowly. Lord Li raised his hand, ready to strike Li Luo.
But the young girl suddenly turned around. "Father, why..."
When she saw Lord Li's raised hand, tears welled up in her eyes instantly. "Father, you're going to hit me, for that irrelevant fool?"
"Shut up! Li Luo, I've always indulged you before. It's fine for you to play some little tricks in front of me. But if you dare to provoke Nan Chaoyu, don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter."
In the end, Lord Li couldn't bear to let that slap land on Li Luo, but for the first time, he spoke harshly to her.
The young girl, who had always been cherished by her father, couldn't take it anymore. She covered her face and ran away.
Lord Li sighed and covered his chest. What a sin!
"Lord Li, wait a moment."
Xie Zhenkai calmed the turbulent internal energy in his body. Just as he heard Lord Li's words, he quickly spoke up to stop him.
He was a bit confused. Why was Li Yuejin, the lord of Dream Sea City, so afraid of a little girl?
Li Yuejin anticipated what he would ask and waved his hand, looking like he had nothing to say. "Master Xie, this time, that person stopped only for my sake. If you're sensible, prepare generous gifts and go to Twilight Rain Garden in the south of the city to apologize. If you still want to seek death, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying that, regardless of his reaction, he directly led his men away.
Immediately, only the Xie father and son were left, along with Mu Miaomiao lying in the ruins.
Looking at his son, who was unconscious on the ground, a glint of harshness flashed across Xie Zhenkai's eyes.
Ask him to apologize? In his dreams!

The carriage left the bloody scene behind, and the hustle and bustle gradually rose on both sides.
The grand event that took place once every ten years, with the gathering of five cities, even attracted people from the Holy Light Empire. But Xie Haotian still had the escort team clear the way and swaggered through the city in a black - gold carriage.
He was really so ignorant that he trampled on the face of Dream Sea City.
Nan Chaoyu was closing her eyes and resting in the carriage. Just now, when passing by the inns and teahouses, she felt some hidden fluctuations.
It was obvious that there were quite a few people secretly paying attention to this matter. There were already hidden dangers even before the journey to the Soul - Devouring Sea started. She wondered what the scene would be like when it really began.
Thinking like this, she felt the blood in her bones start to surge.
The Mysterious Ice Sword sensed its master's agitation and actually let out a brief howl.
Nan Chaoyu let out a soft laugh and slapped the blade of the sword placed aside.
"Behave yourself, or I'll let you stay with Uncle Yu."
Talking to a sword, this scene looked rather strange no matter how you looked at it. But the coachman wasn't afraid.
He pleaded, "My lord, please spare this subordinate! Your sword has a temper. During this journey, it almost froze this subordinate to death."
Nan Chaoyu's eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth hooked up, showing a brilliant smile, which was quite different from her previous ferocious appearance.
She said cheerfully, "Uncle Yu, you're a high - level cultivator on the verge of a breakthrough. Are you still afraid of this inanimate object? It just has the advantage of being cold. You're being too modest."
Seeing her happy, Uncle Yu also felt more at ease. "My lord, whatever you say is right."
Nan Chaoyu let out a soft laugh. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, it felt like something had hit her chest, and she had a throbbing feeling.
It was a numb and itchy sensation, as if someone was scratching her heart.
When she came to her senses, she was a bit shocked.
This wasn't physical pain but a feeling of blood connection.
"Uncle Yu, stop the carriage."
"Whoa!" Nan Chaoyu's tone was flustered, and Uncle Yu quickly tightened the reins. He asked with a bit of worry, "My lord, what's wrong?"
The feeling of heart palpitations had passed. Nan Chaoyu lifted the curtain on one side and took a look outside.
This was the largest teahouse in Dream Sea City - "Listening to the Wind Teahouse". If her guess was right, the feeling that made her heart tremble just now came from here.
Now, if there was anyone in this world who could make her feel this kind of blood - related palpitation, besides her parents, it was the man who had used half of his heart's blood to help her be reborn.
That bastard man!
He didn't even care about his own life for her, but now he came under her nose and didn't come out to meet her.
He was really selfless and made people feel extremely grateful!
Nan Chaoyu scolded him silently in her heart a few times, then got out of the carriage. She looked up at the words "Listening to the Wind Teahouse" and gritted her teeth slightly.
Without looking back, she ordered, "Uncle Yu, you go back to Twilight Rain Garden and wait. I have something to do!"
Uncle Yu had seen his lord beat up the master of Dream Sea City just now, so he didn't think there would be any master here who could hurt his lord. So he felt relieved and drove the carriage away.
Nan Chaoyu walked into the teahouse openly. The teahouse had three floors. The first floor was the main hall, the second floor had private rooms separated by screens, and the third floor had private compartments.
The waiter saw someone come in and quickly stepped forward to greet. "Miss, you're...".
The waiter only said half of the sentence. He was dazzled by Nan Chaoyu's face, and the last word squeezed out of his throat. "Here!"
The sentence was out of tune, which made the guests at a few tables look over. When they saw Nan Chaoyu's appearance, they were instantly stunned.
What a beautiful girl!
Nan Chaoyu hooked the corner of her mouth at the waiter. "I'm here to find someone." Then she looked up and accurately found a side profile.
Through the hollow railing, from her direction, she could only see a side profile, but it was vaguely visible that the person had an extraordinary appearance.
The waiter was so fascinated by her beauty that he didn't know what time it was. He just watched Nan Chaoyu go up to the second floor.
Mu Qihan heard that the Soul - Devouring Sea would open in Dream Sea City and wanted to come and join the fun.
Since he had a strange dream three years ago and woke up, he always felt that something was missing. He asked an old hermit monster to take a look, and the old man said that half of his memories were sealed.
But all his experiences in the past twenty years were still there. He really didn't know which part was missing, but he felt that this part of the memory was very important to him.
When he heard that the Soul - Devouring Flower in the Soul - Devouring Sea could unlock all seals, he had the idea of coming to take a look.
It was just that Dream Sea City was good in every aspect, except that the girls here were too bold.
The girl in front of him was already the third woman who had stood in front of him today. If there was any difference, it was that she was a bit prettier than the previous two.
Nan Chaoyu looked at the man in front of her, who was extremely particular about every move. Those memories that seemed like they came from another world uncontrollably rushed into her mind, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She opened her mouth. "Bastard man, why didn't you come to find me when you came to Dream Sea City?"
"..." Mu Qihan almost spat out the tea in his mouth. If it weren't for his upbringing since childhood, he would have slapped her back long ago.
For the moment, he slowly wiped his mouth and looked at the girl with rabbit - like eyes in front of him. "Miss, illness needs to be treated."
Nan Chaoyu's urge to cry was held back by these words. She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes and roared, "How dare you talk to me like this! Open your eyes and see who I am!"
