Chapter 533: Qing Lin's Worries, Lei Fei'er's Displeasure
Seeing how the guards at Mo Lei City's gate didn't dare to make a move, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled. Glancing at the supposedly unconscious Mu Mang, Mo Yu let out a cold laugh and said, "I didn't expect the Mu Clan to be so good at acting."
Hearing the mocking tone in Mo Yu's voice, Mu Mang's face twitched. He realized he couldn't keep pretending, and as he stood up, ready to shout angrily, a loud voice suddenly erupted from the city wall above.
A figure shot down like lightning and landed heavily in front of the city gate, towering like a giant.
"Mu Mang, what are you doing?"
Seeing the figure who had descended, Mu Mang's expression changed. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered, "It's nothing."
"Nothing?" the figure frowned, turning to look at Mo Yu and his companions. Mo Yu, in turn, observed the newcomer closely.
Like Mu Mang, the man also wore a shining suit of thunder armor, but his was a distinct blue color. Judging by his aura, he was much stronger than Mu Mang, a three-star Dou Zun (Battle Master) according to Mo Yu's estimation.
"Greetings, Blue Thunder Captain!" The surrounding city guards immediately saluted the man. One of them briefly explained what had just transpired.
"You're Mo Yu?" the man in blue thunder armor asked, surprised upon hearing Mo Yu's name. His gaze grew more serious, and there was even a faint trace of hostility in his eyes.
"Mo Yu, Captain of the Black Thunder Banner," Mo Yu responded calmly, cupping his hands slightly in greeting.
From the guards' words, Mo Yu had already figured out the man's identity—he was the Captain of the Blue Thunder Banner, one of the eight banners under the Black Demon Army.
"Indeed, he's the Mo Yu that Miss Fei'er has been talking about," Mu Mang sneered, glaring at Mo Yu with jealousy and resentment. "Do you still want to let him in now?"
Hearing the conversation, Mo Yu furrowed his brows. It seemed that many in the Thunder Clan already knew his name, likely due to Lei Fei'er.
Behind him, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin exchanged glances, a complicated look flashing across their faces. They both knew that, like Xiao Yu, Lei Fei'er was Mo Yu's fiancée. Even though the Thunder Clan was powerful, they couldn't help feeling uneasy whenever Lei Fei'er was mentioned.
The Blue Thunder Captain remained silent for a moment, giving Mo Yu a conflicted look before turning and angrily rebuking Mu Mang.
"Are you out of your mind? He was personally appointed as the Black Thunder Banner Captain by the clan leader, meaning his rank is equal to mine! If you act like this, do you want people to laugh at our Thunder Clan for not knowing how to respect rank?"
After the scolding, Mu Mang's face turned pale and red with embarrassment. Although he wanted to retort, he couldn't do so in front of someone of higher status. He could only snort coldly and back off.
"Captain of the Black Thunder Banner, you may enter. Please stay in Mo Lei City for a few days; someone will guide you to the Thunder Realm when the time comes," the Blue Thunder Captain said, saluting Mo Yu respectfully.
Mo Yu nodded slightly. Although the Blue Thunder Captain seemed to hold a hint of animosity toward him, he was at least professional, unlike Mu Mang.
However, Mo Yu couldn't help but wonder why this captain, whom he was meeting for the first time, bore any animosity at all. Could it be because of Lei Fei'er?
He chuckled inwardly. "Trouble always comes with beauty," he thought. Rumor had it that Lei Fei'er wasn't just the Thunder Clan leader's daughter but also a rare beauty. Mo Yu suspected that his journey through the Thunder Realm wouldn't be smooth at all.
As Mo Yu, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin walked toward the city gates, the Blue Thunder Captain hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"If I may, would you be willing to spar with me at the upcoming Captain's Tournament? I'd like to see if you are truly worthy of Miss Fei'er."
The last sentence was barely audible, but Mo Yu caught it clearly. He raised an eyebrow—his suspicions were confirmed.
"Sure," Mo Yu replied with a calm nod, not bothering to find an excuse to decline. He understood Lei Fei'er's esteemed position within the Thunder Clan. With her immense beauty and talent, it was natural that many young elites in the clan would admire her and see him as their biggest rival. Mo Yu knew that this wouldn't be the last challenge he would face, and the next ones might be even more aggressive.
Shaking his head at the thought of the busy days ahead, Mo Yu felt no resentment. His marriage to Lei Fei'er was beneficial for both him and the Thunder Clan. In fact, he felt lucky, and a little trouble wouldn't make him back down. Besides, among the younger generation of the Thunder Clan, there weren't many who could truly make him feel threatened.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Yu led Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin into the domineering city under many watchful gazes.
As Mo Yu's figure disappeared into the city, Mu Mang's eyes flashed coldly, and he muttered under his breath, "Boy, you would've been fine staying away, but since you've come to the Thunder Clan of your own accord, don't blame me for what happens next. My brother has been in love with Fei'er for a long time. You won't stand a chance against us."
Unaware of Mu Mang's venomous muttering, Mo Yu and his companions continued into the bustling and awe-inspiring Mo Lei City. While the city wasn't as crowded as some other places, most of the people they passed were powerful in their own right.
"We should head to the rest area the Thunder Clan has set up for us. I heard that the spatial gate to the Thunder Realm won't open for another three days. Until then, we'll have to stay in Mo Lei City," Xiao Yi Xian said after asking around for information.
Mo Yu nodded, his gaze scanning the surroundings. "This city is full of dangerous people. Be careful these next few days."
With that, Mo Yu led the way toward the city center, and Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin quickly followed.
After about ten minutes of walking, they arrived at a large estate in the heart of the city. People were constantly coming and going from the estate, and many of them exuded powerful auras that caught Mo Yu's attention.
Thanks to the Black Demon Token, Mo Yu and his companions were respectfully welcomed into the estate and led to a quiet room by a maid.
"Master, do you think this Lei Fei'er, being the Thunder Clan's princess, might be difficult to get along with?" Qing Lin asked worriedly after tidying up Mo Yu's bed.
Xiao Yi Xian's gaze also shifted to Mo Yu, her expression complicated.
Both women had grown accustomed to Xiao Yu, Mo Yu's primary wife, and found her easy to get along with. But Lei Fei'er, the treasured daughter of the Thunder Clan's leader, was one of the most prestigious women on the Dou Qi continent. The thought of her brought both Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian considerable unease. They feared that if Lei Fei'er entered Mo Yu's life and had a difficult personality, things would become quite tense.
Noticing their hesitation, Mo Yu gently took each of their hands, smiling as he reassured them. "Don't worry. Lei Fei'er is marrying into my family, not the other way around. In the Mo family, I'm the master of the house. Even if she has a bad temper, I'll be here to back you up. If she ever tries to use her family's power to bully you, I won't tolerate it. If it comes to that, I'd rather break off the engagement than let anyone mistreat you."
Hearing this, both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's eyes lit up with joy, their hearts swelling with happiness. Mo Yu's words made them feel as sweet as honey.
Mo Yu was willing to defy the Thunder Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, just for their sake. This moved both women deeply.
"You're both very important to me, and our bond goes beyond anything I could have with Lei Fei'er. So don't worry. I'm not the type to abandon those I care about," Mo Yu said warmly, comforting them.
After calming their worries, Mo Yu's tone shifted slightly to a playful one. "It's getting late, and we should rest. By the way, this bed is pretty big. How about the two of you stay here tonight?"
Hearing Mo Yu's playful remark, both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin froze for a moment before realizing what he meant. Their cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.
In unison, they playfully pinched Mo Yu's waist and, with a girlish giggle, hurried out of the room as if to escape.
Mo Yu knew they wouldn't stay together. Asking one of them to stay while the other left would hurt the one left out, so he had chosen to joke about it instead, ultimately ending up alone.
He lay down on the bed, feeling a bit tired after their recent travels, and soon drifted off to sleep.
On a misty mountain peak, a stunning woman stood amidst the clouds. Her beauty was ethereal, almost like a fairy in the mist, exuding a bewitching charm.
She wore a short black dress, her figure tall and graceful, with long black hair cascading down to her slim waist. Her bright, deep eyes were captivating, and her skin had a flawless, snow-white glow, like pure jade.
Her legs were clad in delicate black stockings, and even with the fabric covering them, their slender elegance was apparent. One could only imagine how alluring they would be without the stockings.
"Miss, Mo Yu, the Black Thunder Captain, has arrived at Mo Lei City," a voice said as an elderly figure appeared on the mountain peak, speaking respectfully.
The old man had barely finished speaking when he noticed a ripple in the air before him. The young woman had appeared in front of him in an instant, her beautiful face carrying a cold, proud expression that dimmed even the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
This woman, possessing such beauty and noble bearing, could only be Lei Fei'er, the Thunder Clan leader's daughter.
"Elder Lin, what's your impression of Mo Yu?" Lei Fei'er asked, her voice cold but enchanting, as if it could stir the very clouds around her.
"The Black Thunder Captain's strength is beyond my ability to judge. However, according to my sources, he defeated Mu Mang, a one-star Dou Zun, in a single move. This suggests Mo Yu's strength is likely at least that of a four-star Dou Zun," the old man replied with a sigh of admiration.
It was astonishing that someone from the once-weak Mo Clan could achieve such heights. Rumors had it that Mo Yu possessed a divine bloodline, and from what Elder Lin had seen, this seemed likely.
"The clan leader's judgment is indeed impressive. Mo Yu is a fitting match for you, Miss," the elder added.
Lei Fei'er frowned. Although her father had praised Mo Yu many times and arranged the engagement, she felt uneasy about marrying someone she had never met. As the daughter of the Thunder Clan leader, Lei Fei'er believed only the most extraordinary talents of the Dou Qi continent were worthy of her.
"However... Miss, there are also two remarkable women by Mo Yu's side. One possesses the Deadly Poison Body, and the other has the Jade Snake's Three Flower Eyes. In both talent and beauty, they are..." The elder hesitated before continuing.
"Oh? It seems my future husband has quite a collection of remarkable women besides his fiancée from the declining Xiao Clan..." Lei Fei'er's brow furrowed as her expression grew colder.
