Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

"Well, I guess so."

Lin Ye nodded, speaking vaguely.

He dared not tell the truth.

If you told them that he was going to challenge a nearly million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king by himself, these two women would probably explode on the spot and would absolutely refuse to let him go alone.

Especially Bibi Dong, given her personality, she might just summon all the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall and sail out to sea in a grand procession, to "capture the Demon Whale King alive."

The scene was too grand, and the divine test required "solo kills"; if someone else helped, the test would be considered a failure.

Therefore, this matter must be kept secret.

"It's nothing, just going to the sea to kill a sea spirit beast that's not very obedient."

Lin Ye spoke of it casually, as if it were as easy as going fishing at the beach.

"A sea spirit beast?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

She knew Lin Ye's strength very well. The target of the divine test that made him show such a solemn expression could definitely not be an ordinary sea spirit beast.

"Is it very strong? How many years has it been?" Bibi Dong pressed.

"It's alright, the age limit is a bit high, but it's not a big problem." Lin Ye continued to evade the question.

"The main reason is that this assessment is a bit special; it requires me to complete it alone without any help from anyone."

He deliberately mentioned the condition of "killing alone" to prevent them from wanting to come along.

"So, you guys don't need to come with me this time. Just stay in Wuhun City and wait for me to come back."

Lin Ye shrugged, his face showing an expression that said, "I can't help it."

"Your presence won't be of any help; in fact, it will only distract me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes visibly dimmed.

The little confidence she had just built up due to her improved strength was instantly shattered by Lin Ye's words.

Yes, his strength has improved too quickly.

It was so fast that no matter how hard I tried, I could only watch his back from afar.

They didn't even have the right to fight alongside him anymore.

Lin Ye saw through the big cat's thoughts at a glance. He reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" he whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"It's not that you're too weak, it's just that this mission is too special. When I get back, I'll take you hunting spirit beasts and help you get your eighth spirit ring."

The warm breath on her ear made Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks blush instantly.

She gave a soft "hmm," feeling a little disappointed but mostly sweet.

That big bad guy can always easily see through her thoughts.

Bibi Dong felt a strange unease as she watched the two interact intimately.

But what she cared about more was Lin Ye's mission this time.

"Going alone? Are you sure?" Bibi Dong's tone was very serious.

"The ocean is not like land. Sea spirit beasts are far more powerful in water than land spirit beasts of the same level. Moreover, you are not familiar with the ocean, so what if you encounter any danger..."

"Teacher, don't you still believe me?" Lin Ye interrupted her, his face bearing his usual confident smile.

"Have you forgotten how Tang Hao died? Have you forgotten how the Titan Ape perished?"

"The thing in this world that can make me, Lin Ye, feel threatened has not yet been born."

His words were filled with unparalleled domineering power and confidence.

Bibi Dong looked at him, and for a moment she couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Yes, this man always manages to create miracles.

From the day he appeared before me, he has been breaking conventions and subverting perceptions.

Perhaps, I really should believe him.

"What exactly is that soul beast?" Bibi Dong asked again, still not entirely at ease.

"Ugh, teacher, why are you so long-winded?" Lin Ye waved his hand impatiently.

"I already told you it's just a disobedient fish. Once I kill it and bring its soul bones back for you to use as a necklace, you'll understand."

"you!"

Bibi Dong was quite angry at his disrespectful attitude, but when she looked at his handsome, smiling face, her anger inexplicably dissipated.

That bastard is getting more and more outrageous.

"When do we set off?" Bibi Dong finally gave in.

She knew that once Lin Ye made a decision, no one could change it.

"Let's do it tomorrow, and get it over with quickly," Lin Ye said.

"Get this done quickly and come back soon. I'm waiting to come back and raze the Haotian Sect to the ground."

He deliberately mentioned the Haotian Sect to divert Bibi Dong's attention.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "Haotian Sect," Bibi Dong's eyes instantly turned cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from her body.

"Okay." She nodded, no longer dwelling on the sea spirit beast.

"I'll handle things with the Spirit Hall for you. Once you return, we'll make sure the Clear Sky Sect is completely wiped off this world!"

"That's more like it." Lin Ye smiled and snapped his fingers.

As night fell, the papal chambers were brightly lit.

Lin Ye eventually persuaded the two women to agree to his plan to go to sea alone.

Of course, this involved his various sweet words and solemn promises.

Looking out at the pitch-black night, Lin Ye's eyes gradually deepened.

"Old whale, wash your neck clean and wait for me."

He was already looking forward to seeing what kind of interesting expression that arrogant ocean overlord would have when he dragged it into the arena of life and death and turned it into a newborn fry.

The night was as dark as ink, yet the atmosphere inside the palace was somewhat enchanting.

Zhu Zhuqing wore a light black silk nightgown, her exquisite curves faintly visible under the light.

She silently helped Lin Ye pack his luggage, neatly folding some clean clothes and dry food and putting them into his storage soul tool.

She remained silent, but her tightly pursed red lips and slightly furrowed brows betrayed her inner unease.

Lin Ye gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder, feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms.

"What's wrong, my big cat? Are you still unhappy?"

He chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

She stopped what she was doing, turned around, and stared intently at Lin Ye with her clear, cold eyes.

"Do you... really have to go?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of pleading that was barely perceptible.

"I absolutely have to go." Lin Ye's answer was straightforward.

There is no room for negotiation when it comes to the task of divine examination.

Seeing the disappointment in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Lin Ye's heart softened, and he hugged her even tighter.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I'll be back safe and sound in a month at most."

He gently stroked the tip of her upturned nose and said with a smile,

"Don't you believe in your husband's abilities?"
