Big Pao smiled mysteriously and then whispered, "I just went out to make some inquiries. Something big has happened in the Starfall Sea recently, and it's the Sea King's selection of a son-in-law. The Sea King wants to marry off his most beloved daughter, and this event has a huge impact. Many of the Innerverse's great powers have sent people to participate, hoping to marry the Sea King's daughter and form a relationship with him."
"What does that have to do with us?" Coco was confused.
Big Pao grinned. "Do you think that the Sea King will let anything happen to his future son-in-law?"
"Are you saying that you want to participate in the Sea King's son-in-law selection?"
Big Pao nodded. "I've heard that the Sea King's son-in-law selection will be held at certain intervals at the entrance of the Starfall Sea. As long as you qualify, you'll be able to receive the Sea King's protection and head to the Sea King's Dome. This is our chance to escape. With the Sea King's protection, even if the entire Relentless Slayers were to come, they wouldn't dare to make a move against us, let alone Feng Mo."
Everyone muttered to themselves. This was a good idea.
"However, there is a problem." Big Pao's tone became low.
Everyone looked at him.
Big Pao ran his fingers through his hair and spoke with a hint of melancholy. "I already said that this is the Sea King's son-in-law selection, which means that I'll have to marry into the Sea King's family and live in the Sea King's Dome from now on. That's not something I can accept. You guys are fine, but I have to think of a way to qualify for the selection.
Little Pao facepalmed.
Coco widened her eyes and looked very innocent. "Senior Big Pao, your confidence caught us off guard."
He remembered that Big Pao had been like this the first time he had seen him.
Michelle's tone was cold. "Don't worry, you won't even qualify."
Big Pao's mouth twitched. "What a joke! I'm so handsome, so how could I not be qualified? Let me tell you something — I've heard that there are two conditions for the Sea King's son-in-law selection, and you'll be qualified if you can fulfill one of them." He paused for a moment before continuing, "The first condition is strength. The Sea King doesn't like weaklings, so you have to be under the age of twenty-five and be close to a Cruiser in order to qualify."
Everyone was shocked.
Zora could not help but say, "There aren't many people like him in the universe. Only Brother Lu is qualified among us."
Big Pao replied, "Don't be hasty. There's still a second condition." The corner of his mouth curled up. "The second condition is to be handsome. The Sea King has decreed that being handsome can make up for any shortcomings."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this even possible?
Judging by looks?
In a normal family, looks were very important, but this was the Sea King!
"That can't be. Is the Sea King that shallow?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Big Pao replied, "That's how it is. As long as you're handsome enough and not too weak, you'll be able to qualify for the Sea King's son-in-law selection. Now, you know why I'm so confident. It's so frustrating, as no one can compare to me when it comes to handsomeness."
Coco blinked. "Big Cannon, you don't have to worry. You definitely won't be qualified."
Big Pao rolled his eyes. "This little girl has no sense of beauty."
"Speaking of handsomeness, I have a certain level of confidence," Little Pao said with a serious expression.
"Blind confidence," Zola mocked mercilessly.
"That's still confidence." Little Pao's expression became even more serious.
Meng Yue and Zhao Yilong couldn't help but look at each other.
Lu Yin didn't like this topic. He could only be described as sunny and a little handsome, but he definitely wasn't at Xia Luo's level. In terms of looks, there were a bunch of people who could leave him in the dust. "Let's investigate this again. If the Sea King's son-in-law selection is real, then this is indeed a path to take."
"Big Brother Lu, are you not confident?
You're very handsome! "Coco looked at him.
Michelle sneered. She would never forget Lu Yin's words; he had actually said that she couldn't compare to her sister, which was unforgivable.
Her sneer was ear-piercing to Lu Yin. "Well, everyone's sense of beauty is different. Some like sunny and handsome guys, while others like muscular guys. Maybe the Sea King's daughter likes something different. It's better if we investigate further."
"That's true. Let's go. The person who's going to pick up the Sea King's son-in-law is on a nearby patch of seaweed. With our speed, we'll be there in half an hour. Let's leave the spacecraft here for the coating," Big Pao said.
The group then stood up and glanced at Feng Mo before heading to the other patch of seaweed that Big Pao had mentioned.
Feng Mo sneered; this group definitely wouldn't be able to escape his grasp. He immediately followed, but he was stopped before he could even take a few steps. It was the bartender. "Sir, please pay the bill."
Feng Mo pointed at Lu Yin's group. "They ordered this drink. I didn't even drink it."
The bartender's face darkened. "Please pay the bill, along with your friend's."
Feng Mo was furious. It was no wonder why that brat had ordered a drink for him; he had been waiting for him here. This group of people had actually refused to pay the bill and wanted him to pay for it.
Feng Mo wanted to leave, but this was the entrance to the Starfall Sea, and he knew the consequences. Even though he was a Hunter, a Hunter was nothing to the Sea King's Dome. Helpless, Feng Mo paid the bill and hurriedly chased after them. He definitely wouldn't let this group of brats off.
Flying was allowed above the seaweed, and it wasn't prohibited. Each patch of seaweed covered a large area, and even with the group's speed, it took them more than ten minutes to reach the next patch of seaweed. They were still ten minutes away from the location that Big Pao had found out about.
Lu Yin sighed as he looked at the buildings around him. The universe really did have everything. There were so many buildings that if one didn't look at the ground, they would have looked like planets. Who would have thought that these buildings were built on seaweed?
He was suddenly very curious about what was beneath the seaweed.
Feng Mo followed them at a leisurely pace, not bothering to hide his cold killing intent.
Lu Yin turned around and met Feng Mo's gaze. "Is the commission money that Deep Crimson Hall gave you enough for you to spend your time here?
If you can't complete the mission, then you'll lose everything. "
Feng Mo sneered. "You won't be able to escape."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I guarantee that if you capture me, your Relentless Slayers will be in big trouble."
"It doesn't matter. Let's capture you first." Feng Mo was not threatened, as the Relentless Slayers would have long since closed down.
Lulu looked at Feng Mo and asked, "How much did Deep Crimson Hall give you?
I'll pay double. "
Disdain flashed through Feng Mo's eyes, as he didn't believe her at all.
Lulu became unhappy. "Hey, you pauper, I'm talking to you."
Feng Mo was furious. "Little girl, be careful of your words."
"Do you dare to provoke me?
My name is Lulu Mavis, "she said proudly.
Feng Mo's voice faltered, and he looked at her in shock. "You're from the Mavis family?"
Lulu raised her head. "Tell me, how much is the commission? I'll pay double."
Feng Mo no longer dared to underestimate Lulu, as he recalled that she was the one who had paid for the coating of the small radiant-grade Aurora spacecraft that these people had taken. Also, these people had only taken an ordinary spacecraft at the beginning, but they had switched to radiant-grade Auroras midway. Such an expensive spacecraft had been changed at such a young age, so it was quite possible that she was from the Mavis family.
The Mavis family was not something that he could afford to offend. The Relentless Slayers could ignore the Daynight clan since they could hide from them, but they definitely could not ignore the Mavis family. There was a Mavis Bank in every corner of the universe, and a considerable amount of their money was stored there. Even if the Mavis Bank did not dare to casually freeze their accounts, they would still need to withdraw their money, and as long as they did so, they would be easily discovered.
Feng Mo looked at Lulu and decided that he could not touch her, but he also decided to ignore her. The Relentless Slayers had their own rules, so how could they be instigated by a target?
Seeing that Feng Mo was ignoring her, Lulu snorted. "Pauper."
Feng Mo's eyes narrowed. He was furious, but he did not show it. Compared to the Mavis family, the entire Relentless Slayers were paupers. Even though he felt indignant, this was fate.
"Feng Mo, offending both the Mavis family and the Daynight clan with a single commission isn't wise," Michelle said as she looked behind her.
Feng Mo's eyes turned cold. "And who are you?"
Before Michelle could speak, Coco jumped out from the side. "She's Michelle, the younger sister of Red Lotus Witchbow Mira from the Ten Arbiters Council."
Feng Mo's eyelids twitched, as this was another person that he could not afford to offend. Mira was still manageable, as he had heard of her before. Although her innate gift was powerful, she was not a threat to him for the time being. However, Mira had the backing of the Ten Arbiters. Even though he did not know which Arbiter it was, the Ten Arbiters represented an incomparably large power. Once that power approached the Chaos Flowzone, he would be in trouble.
Just like the Daynight clan, although the Relentless Slayers did not care too much about them, if the Daynight clan was determined to cause trouble for them, they would still suffer heavy losses. It was best not to provoke such an enemy if possible.
Alright, I can't touch this girl either.
Michelle spoke up. "Feng Mo, you'd better be clear about who you're dealing with."
Feng Mo's gaze turned gloomy as he looked at Lu Yin. He had already investigated Lu Yin's identity when they had been in outer space, and this was the main reason why he wanted to capture Lu Yin alive. This person could not be killed by Feng Mo, or else it would be troublesome.
"There's no need to say anything else. Those two must be killed, and I'm going to capture this person as well." Feng Mo did not want to waste any more words with them. The more he heard, the more powerful their backgrounds seemed to be.
Lu Yin stopped Michelle from speaking and looked at Feng Mo. "I must remind you that none of us are simple people, including the two you want to kill. They have Astral-10 behind them. Think about it, is it worth it to offend the Mavis family, the Daynight clan, the Astral Combat Academy, the Lockbreaker Society, the Ten Arbiters Council, Windrift Hall, Myriad Swords Peak, Vastdearth Sect, Shamrock Enterprises, the ancient Xia clan, and the ancient Lu clan for a mere commission from Deep Crimson Hall. Is it worth it?"
Not only was Feng Mo shocked by Lu Yin's words, but Michelle and the rest as well. They hadn't realized that they represented so many different powers when gathered together, and each one of them sounded rather terrifying. Wait, what were the ancient Xia Clan and the ancient Lu Clan?
Feng Mo's eyelids twitched. "Brat, don't think that you can protect yourself just by making up some random names."
Lu Yin sneered. "Think about it for yourself." He then turned around and told everyone to ignore Feng Mo.
At this moment, Feng Mo hesitated. He had never heard of the ancient Xia clan or the ancient Lu clan, but they sounded grand and had a hint of an inheritance. It was very likely that they were legitimate clans with primeval surnames, similar to the Sword Sect's Liu family. He knew about the others, but what did Shamrock Enterprises, Myriad Swords Peak, Windrift Hall, and the Vastdearth Sect have to do with these people?
How could there be so many of them?
If these people really had so many powers behind them, then Feng Mo felt that this commission was not worth it. But then again, he did not plan on killing these people. Besides those three, he did not plan on paying any attention to the rest.
Yes, as long as he did not harm these people, he did not care how many clans they represented.
That was what he thought, but Feng Mo still felt uneasy. These people represented too many powers, so much so that it made his scalp go numb.
