the sight of the city gate guards not daring to make a move, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. Turning to glance at the fainting Mu Mang, a cold smile appeared on his face. "I didn’t expect everyone in Mu Clan to be such skilled actors."
Hearing Mo Yu’s mocking tone, Mu Mang’s face twitched. Realizing he couldn’t keep pretending to be unconscious, he reluctantly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to stand up and retort, a booming voice suddenly erupted from atop the city wall.
A figure descended like lightning, landing heavily in front of the city gate like a towering iron tower.
"Mu Mang, what are you doing?"
Seeing the figure descending from the wall, Mu Mang’s expression shifted slightly. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he replied, "It’s nothing."
"Nothing?"
The figure frowned at the response, his gaze sweeping toward Mo Yu and his group. At this moment, Mo Yu clearly saw the man’s appearance.
Like Mu Mang, the newcomer wore a suit of radiant thunder armor, though his armor gleamed with a faint blue hue. Judging by his aura, he was significantly stronger than Mu Mang. From Mo Yu’s estimation, this man was likely a three-star Dou Zun.
"Greetings, Azure Thunder Captain!"
The surrounding city guards immediately saluted upon seeing the man. One of them quickly summarized the events that had transpired.
"So, you’re the Mo Yu I’ve been hearing about?"
Hearing the name "Mo Yu," the man in the azure thunder armor frowned and turned his gaze toward him. A faint, almost imperceptible trace of hostility flickered in his eyes.
"Yes, Mo Yu of the Black Thunder Banner."
Mo Yu maintained a calm expression, cupping his fists respectfully toward the Azure Thunder Captain. From the guards’ address, Mo Yu identified this man’s role—an officer from the Azure Thunder Banner, one of the eight divisions of the Black Demon Army.
"He’s the one! The very Mo Yu Miss Fei’er mentioned!"
Mu Mang sneered, his gaze filled with jealousy and resentment as it locked onto Mo Yu. "Do you still think it’s a good idea to let him into the city?"
As the conversation unfolded, Mo Yu’s eyebrows furrowed. It seemed his name was already well-known among the Lei Clan. The likely culprit for this notoriety was none other than Lei Fei’er.
Behind him, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin exchanged glances, a hint of complexity flashing through their beautiful eyes. They both knew Lei Fei’er’s engagement to Mo Yu, a fact that, though inevitable given Lei Fei’er’s background and the clan’s influence, still unsettled them.
The Azure Thunder Captain hesitated briefly, his gaze turning stern as he scolded Mu Mang, "Are you out of your mind? He was personally appointed as the Black Thunder Banner Captain by the patriach, holding a rank equal to mine. Are you trying to make our Lei Clan look ignorant of hierarchy and respect?"
Mu Mang’s face turned pale at the reprimand. Though unwilling, he could only snort coldly and step aside, unable to argue with someone of higher status.
"Black Thunder Captain, please!" The Azure Thunder Captain cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Stay in Demon Thunder City for a few days. Someone will come to escort you to the Lei Realm soon."
Mo Yu nodded slightly. Though the Azure Thunder Captain bore some faint hostility toward him, he was professional and impartial, far better than Mu Mang. However, Mo Yu couldn’t help but wonder—why such hostility when they were meeting for the first time?
"Could it be because of Lei Fei’er again?"
A bitter smile emerged on Mo Yu’s face. The saying about beauties being a source of trouble wasn’t wrong. It was rumored that Lei Fei’er was not only Patriach’s daughter but also a woman of unparalleled beauty. Mo Yu had a hunch that this trip to the Lei Realm would be far from smooth.
As Mo Yu led Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin into the city, the Azure Thunder Captain hesitated briefly before cupping his fists and asking, "If it’s not too presumptuous, would you honor me with a spar during the upcoming Captain Assessment? I wish to see if you truly deserve Miss Fei’er."
The final words, though spoken softly, were clear enough to reach Mo Yu’s ears. He raised an eyebrow, his suspicions confirmed.
"Hmm."
Mo Yu nodded faintly, not offering any excuses to decline. He understood Lei Fei’er’s status within the Lei Clan. Her beauty and talent undoubtedly made her the object of admiration for countless young elites within the clan. To them, Mo Yu was naturally the greatest rival. Such challenges were bound to increase in both frequency and intensity.
Shaking his head at the inevitable trouble awaiting him, Mo Yu didn’t complain. The alliance with Lei Fei’er was mutually beneficial for both him and the Lei Clan. From Mo Yu’s perspective, he had gained far more advantages in this arrangement, so it was only reasonable for him to endure the accompanying inconveniences.
Moreover, there weren’t any young elites in the Lei Clan that Mo Yu truly feared.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Yu led Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin into the city under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
As Mo Yu’s figure disappeared into the distance, a sinister glint flashed in Mu Mang’s eyes as he muttered to himself, "You’ve walked into your own doom, brat. My elder brother has admired Miss Fei’er for years. With your meager strength, you’re no match for the Lei Clan’s younger generation!"
Unaware of Mu Mang’s dark schemes, Mo Yu and his companions passed through the city gates and entered the city filled with an oppressive yet majestic atmosphere.
At this time, Demon Thunder City was relatively lively. Though it didn’t have the overwhelming crowds of other cities, those walking its streets were undoubtedly individuals with significant strength.
"Let’s first head to the designated rest area established by the Lei Clan within the city," Xiao Yixian suggested with a smile after inquiring for some information. "The spatial gateway leading to the Lei Realm will only open in three days. During this time, we’ll have to remain here in Demon Thunder City."
Mo Yu gave a slight nod, his gaze sweeping the surroundings as he softly reminded, "This Demon Thunder City is a mix of all kinds of people, and none of them are easy to deal with. We must remain cautious these next few days."
As his voice fell, Mo Yu took the lead, walking steadily toward the city center. Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin quickly followed behind him.
After traversing the bustling streets for about ten minutes, the group arrived at the city center. A sprawling manor stood majestically at its heart, its grandeur occupying an extensive area. At the manor’s entrance, streams of people came and went, their imposing auras radiating outward.
Mo Yu couldn’t help but glance over, slightly taken aback by the overwhelming strength of the individuals present.
Thanks to the Black Demon Token, Mo Yu and his companions were respectfully invited into the manor. Under the guidance of a charming maid, they were led to a tranquil guest room.
"Young Master, do you think Miss Lei Fei’er, as the princess of the Lei Clan, might have a rather difficult personality?" Qing Lin asked worriedly as she tidied Mo Yu’s bed.
Her words caught Xiao Yixian’s attention as she glanced over, her expression tinged with complexity.
Having interacted with Xiao Yu—who was the matron of the Yuan Manor and Mo Yu’s principal wife—both Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian were quite familiar with her temperament. They knew Xiao Yu to be approachable and easy to get along with.
However, Lei Fei’er, being the treasured daughter of the Lei Clan patriarch, one of the ancient eight clans, undoubtedly held a status that placed her among the most prestigious women on the Dou Qi Continent. This status alone made Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian feel a significant amount of pressure.
This pressure wasn’t something Xiao Yu could bring about.
They feared that once Lei Fei’er entered Mo Yu’s household, her potentially difficult personality might make life challenging for them.
Noticing the hesitant expressions on their faces, Mo Yu immediately understood their concerns. He took their soft, slender hands into his own, his tone gentle as he reassured them with a smile.
"Don’t worry. Lei Fei’er is marrying into my clan; I’m not joining the Lei Clan. Here in the Yuan Manor, I am the master. Even if she has a difficult temperament, I’ll always have your backs.
"If Lei Fei’er truly tries to oppress you using her clan’s power, I won’t tolerate it. If it comes to that, I’d rather break off this engagement, even if it means going against the Lei Clan. I won’t allow either of you to suffer."
Hearing his words, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin’s eyes lit up with joy. Their gazes brimmed with delight, and their hearts felt as though they were drenched in sweetness.
For Mo Yu to be willing to oppose the powerful Lei Clan for their sake filled them with immense gratitude.
"Alright, you two have been with me through thick and thin. The bond we share is far deeper than anything Lei Fei’er could ever bring. So, there’s no need to worry about anything. I, Mo Yu, am not the kind of man to be fickle or ungrateful."
After another round of comforting, Mo Yu suddenly changed his tone, a teasing glint flashing in his eyes. "It’s getting late. We should rest now. By the way, this bed is quite spacious. How about you both stay with me tonight?"
Hearing his playful remark, both Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin froze momentarily before realizing his intent. Their fair cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, and their delicate earlobes turned crimson.
In an instant, the two women pinched Mo Yu’s waist lightly, letting out soft, coquettish rebukes before darting out of the room as if fleeing.
Given the current circumstances, with outsiders around, neither Xiao Yixian nor Qing Lin could bring themselves to stay, even if the idea crossed their minds. Embarrassed, the two women hurriedly excused themselves.
Watching their bashful retreat, Mo Yu couldn’t help but chuckle softly and shake his head.
He had known all along they wouldn’t agree to stay together. However, choosing one over the other would inevitably hurt feelings. Thus, he turned the situation into a joke, ultimately opting to spend the night alone.
Lying down on the guest room’s bed, Mo Yu, fatigued from the nonstop travel, quickly fell asleep.
On a cloud-covered peak, a stunning woman stood amidst the dense mist. The swirling fog lent her an ethereal aura, making her resemble an otherworldly fairy with an air of enchanting elegance.
The woman wore a black short skirt that accentuated her tall, graceful figure. Her features were exquisitely delicate, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, reaching her slender, willow-like waist.
Her bright, deep eyes were captivating, and her skin was a flawless, crystalline white, as though she were truly made of ice and jade.
She wore stockings that resembled delicate black lace, and even though the fabric concealed her legs, the graceful curves of her slender, shapely legs remained mesmerizing. It wasn’t hard to imagine that, beneath the stockings, those legs would be enough to leave anyone spellbound.
"Miss, Mo Yu, the appointed Black Thunder Captain, has arrived in Demon Thunder City," an elderly figure suddenly appeared on the peak, bowing respectfully as he spoke.
The woman, lost in thought, stirred slightly. The moment the words reached her ears, the space around her seemed to ripple faintly. By the time the elder raised his head, she was already standing before him. Her cold, proud, and exquisite face caused the surrounding scenery to pale in comparison.
In the Lei Clan, no one else could possess such beauty and noble demeanor but Lei Fei’er, the patriach’s cherished daughter.
"Elder Lin, what’s your impression of this Mo Yu?" Lei Fei’er’s cold voice carried a magnetic quality, as if even the swirling mist responded to her words.
The elder sighed softly, admiration evident in his tone. "The Black Thunder Captain’s strength is beyond my discernment. According to reports, even Mu Mang, a one-star Dou Zun, couldn’t withstand a single move from him. It seems Mo Yu’s strength is at least that of a four-star Dou Zun."
He sighed again, his awe apparent. "A mere member of the exiled Mo Clan has reached such heights. His talent is truly terrifying. No wonder there are whispers among the clan elders that Mo Yu might possess divine-grade bloodline potential. Such rumors are likely true..."
The elder continued, "The patriarch’s judgment was indeed impeccable. Mo Yu is a fitting match for you, young miss."
Hearing his words, Lei Fei’er’s brows furrowed slightly. Although her father had often praised Mo Yu, the thought of marrying someone she had never met left her feeling resistant.
As the treasured daughter of the Lei Clan, Lei Fei’er believed only the most exceptional genius on the Dou Qi Continent could be worthy of her.
"However..." The elder hesitated before adding, "Beside Mo Yu, there are two extraordinary women—one possesses the Woeful Poison Body, and the other has the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. In terms of both talent and beauty..."
"Oh? It seems my fiancé, aside from having a former engagement with the declining Xiao Clan’s daughter, also keeps quite the collection of exceptional beauties," Lei Fei’er remarked, her delicate brows knitting together.
