"Brother Zhou? Isn't he with you? I haven't seen him since I came back." Su Yan looked at Princess Luanming with a puzzled expression and said, "I thought he was traveling with you in my immortal boat."

"No! We didn't see any celestial ships when we came back," said Princess Luanming.

After the two checked their information, an eerie silence fell over the backyard of the government office. The four of them stared at each other for a while, and then suddenly realized that none of them had ever seen Zhou You.

"Oh no! Brother Zhou has disappeared!"

Su Yan rummaged in his pocket for a while and took out the wooden box used to seal the shrunken immortal boat. He then turned the compass on the wooden box to locate the position of his immortal boat in order to find the truly missing Zhou You.

"click"

A burst of light emanated from the front of the wooden box, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, eventually pointing northwest.

Su Yan looked in the direction the wooden box was pointing, a bead of cold sweat gradually forming on his forehead, and said:

"To the northwest, I remember there's a large river flowing from north to south. The lair of the great demon Zhou You offended last time was probably over there, right? Could it be that when the flood struck last night, he had those river demons kidnap him and force him to marry someone?"

“Very likely!” Princess Luanming’s head was filled with black lines, thinking that Su Yan’s guess was reliable.

Chapter 362 Zhou You's "Good Marriage"

Upon learning that Zhou You might be in danger, Su Yan ran to the Hua family's territory and invited the Hua family patriarch, who was discussing the rescue of the old mountain god with General Bai, to come out. Then they went directly to the Yuan River in the northwest.

Arriving at the banks of the Yuan River, Su Yan actually found his lost fairy boat there.

All the formations around the fairy boat were shut down, and it drifted like an ordinary painted boat with the current. The fairy boat docked at the shore, lowered its anchor, and sank to the bottom of the river to anchor its position.

"Wait here for me a moment."

The Hua family patriarch glanced around, then looked at Su Yan and the three girls before helplessly sinking into the depths of the river to rescue Zhou You from the catfish demon's lair.

Whether Zhou You was at the bottom of the river or not, the Hua family patriarch knew with a single scan of his divine sense.

Zhou You was inside the giant catfish's lair, and what was happening inside was quite bizarre. The Hua family patriarch couldn't talk about those things in front of the younger generation, so he didn't explain anything and went straight into the river to rescue Zhou You.

I just hope that the young man surnamed Zhou won't suffer any psychological trauma in the future.

………………

Su Yan and his group stood on the riverbank. After resealing the immortal boat into the wooden box, they waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Then, a wave surged up on the riverbank. The Hua family patriarch, carrying one in each hand, brought a towering wave to the riverbank.

"Brother Su!"

Stripped naked except for a pair of trousers, Zhou You saw his friends waiting on the riverbank and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"You arrived just in time. If you had arrived even half an hour later, I probably wouldn't be alive."

Zhou You slowly stood up from the grass, raised his hand with a helpless expression, wiped the oil off his body, looked at the Hua family patriarch, raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your righteous help, Senior Hua. I am deeply grateful. In the future, when the Hua family needs to do business in the government offices, I will definitely open the back door for them."

What's wrong with you?

Su Yan glanced at Zhou You, then looked at the giant catfish demon who was staring at Zhou You with lingering affection, a hint of curiosity on her face, and asked.

The giant catfish demon in front of them wasn't ugly, but after transforming, it was over three meters tall. Its plump figure was only slightly covered by bandages to conceal its vital parts, and it had a rather neat head of short, slanted bangs.

With her looks, figure, and Nascent Soul stage cultivation, she should have no shortage of admirers among the demon race. Why is she so obsessed with Zhou You? She even took the risk of forcibly abducting the magistrate of the Flower and Flower Bureau to his home.

He seduced me!

The catfish demon, who had fallen to the ground, was initially reluctant to speak, but the Hua family patriarch subtly moved his leg and stepped on her fish tail. The catfish demon was forced to speak out in pain.

Zhou You, pointed at by the catfish demon, looked surprised and retorted loudly:

"Hey, hey, hey! You can't say that. Although I, Zhou, am not exactly a gentleman, I have absolutely never sold my body. Don't talk nonsense!"

"You have!"

The catfish demon spoke with absolute certainty, saying, "The fish still remembers that afternoon when I was swimming in the Yuan River. Suddenly, you said, 'It's so hot! The weather is so dry!'"

"Then, right in front of me, you started taking off your clothes and touching yourself, outlining the curves of your body, striking poses and looking like you were in heat and seeking a mate!"

"?"

Zhou You slowly typed a question mark, turned around and looked at her friends. The three girls seemed to be showing disgust on their faces, but they felt that such an expression was too direct, so they kept holding back, resulting in rather subtle expressions on their faces.

The Hua family patriarch looked on with a dark expression as he watched the truth gradually emerge.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhou You loudly refuted the catfish demon's words, saying, "I have only fished in the river twice. It was during the late spring cold snap, and the temperature was low at night, so I wore thick clothes. The temperature would suddenly rise after noon! I really just fished. When I felt hot, I took off my coat and sat by the river to soak my feet in the water!"

"I didn't touch anything on my body, I just wiped away the sweat!"

Since it concerned his character and reputation, Zhou You racked his brains to recall all the details of that day, trying to explain why he took off his clothes by the river and that he really didn't put any medicine or anything like that on his body.

"I don't believe it," the catfish demon turned its head away, completely ignoring Zhou You's explanation. When it glanced at Zhou You out of the corner of its eye, the lewd look in its eyes was completely undisguised.

Zhou You's act of undressing, wiping away sweat, and washing himself on the riverbank attracted the catfish demon's attack, which can only be considered a contributing factor.

The main reason is that the three-meter-tall catfish demon is attracted to Zhou You's wheat-colored skin, healthy aura, and strong physique.

Every time he recalled it, Zhou You would see sweat dripping from his cotton coat on the riverbank, slightly soaking his white undershirt. As he opened the collar to let out some heat, revealing his wheat-colored shoulders, the catfish demon couldn't hide his excitement. He couldn't conceal his lustful expression.

"You two take your time chatting."

When Su Yan saw the catfish demon approaching Zhou You, he confessed his love with a lewd expression, spouting vulgarities and slang that made others unable to resist.

Su Yan took his leave and turned to follow Princess Luanming back to the city for dinner.

"Wait for me!"

After glancing at the three-meter-tall catfish demon, Zhou You grabbed his trouser belt and scrambled to catch up with Su Yan and his group as they walked away.

The catfish demon, chasing after Zhou You, couldn't help but start licking its red lips.

………………

"call out--"

Just as Su Yan approached the Flower City, a slightly familiar whistling sound suddenly rang out, attracting Su Yan's attention.

Su Yan glanced to the side and saw that Grand Tutor Jin, who should have been sitting in the Xia Yu court handling government affairs, was sitting in a teahouse next to the farmland, leisurely drinking tea with the Red King's adjutant.

"Are you getting ready to eat? Can I join you?" Grand Tutor Jin asked with a beaming smile.

"Dean, didn't you go back?" Su Yanfei landed in front of the teahouse, a strange expression on his face, and asked Grand Tutor Jin, who seemed a little odd.

In Su Yan's memory, Grand Tutor Jin was a calm but slightly mischievous and heartless figure.

But the Grand Tutor Jin in front of him gave Su Yan the feeling of being frivolous, as if he were a playboy.

"My true form is with Xia Yu; he asked me to come here and take a look."

Grand Tutor Jin propped his head up with his left hand on the table, looking at Su Yan. He raised his right arm, pointed to the iceberg outside, and said with a slightly teasing tone:

"You're in luck. The iceberg that seals the Crimson King is a timed spell. It will take the old man three to four months to thaw completely."

"Such a huge iceberg, in the sweltering summer, when the hot wind blows, the whole city becomes incredibly cool."

Grand Tutor Jin's avatar spoke with a smile.

I really deserve to die!

Today is a friend's birthday, and I promised to add an extra update, but my computer, which I bought during the 618 shopping festival, arrived this afternoon. I wasted a lot of time debugging and checking for any problems, which resulted in not being able to add an extra update. I will definitely make up for it tomorrow.

Well.

I'm used to typing on my phone, but I have tenosynovitis in my left hand and now I can't hold my phone for long periods of time. If I keep my head down while typing, I start to feel dizzy after half an hour.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to buy a computer during the 618 shopping festival.

Hopefully, I'll get used to typing on a computer!

Chapter 363 A Slightly Delayed Graduation

"Anyway, I don't have any better ideas, so let the Red King stay in the iceberg for the time being!"

The frivolous, youthful version of Grand Tutor Jin smiled broadly as he answered Su Yan's questions while informing the Red King's adjutant of a conclusion he had reached after conducting his own on-site investigation.

Although Ao Renlin was angry that the Crimson King had put Su Yan in danger, the Dragon Father did not kill him. He only used his supernatural powers to punish the Crimson King and the Old Mountain God, making them stay in the ice mountain for several months to calm down.

Grand Tutor Jin observed that the Winter Seal was timed, not a permanent freeze seal, so he didn't plan to go through any complicated procedures. He intended to let the Crimson King stay inside for a while, so that the Crimson King wouldn't have a cardiac arrest when he came out and saw the list of supplies consumed.

The freezing power from the North Sea Dragon Clan can make things within the frozen area seem to freeze in time. If you want to break the seal of winter, the simplest way is to make the stationary objects move. You must break the seal of winter from the inside, but how to make time-stopped objects move is a question worth considering.

Although the Xia Dynasty possessed the technology to unseal the seal, it would require a considerable amount of time, or they could directly use the method of nightmare suppression to accumulate resources. The Red King was probably unwilling to expend such resources, so it would be better to let the old man stay in the ice mountain for a few months.

"I'm off! I'm heading back to Xia Yu after dinner. His Majesty skipped work and disappeared somewhere. Poor old dragon like me has to read hundreds of pounds of memorials every day."

The frivolous, youthful Grand Tutor Jin looked at Su Yan beside her and gestured for him to lead the way so that she could sample some delicious delicacies in the Flower City.

After Emperor Wusheng arrived at the Xuanwang Mansion and appointed the temporary regent, he received an invitation from the sect leader of Luoxing City to go to the Heavenly Ruins. He didn't know when he would be able to return to Xia Yu.

Now, all the major and minor affairs within the Xia Yu Dynasty have fallen on the shoulders of Grand Tutor Jin.

Some time after Grand Tutor Jin left.

In the flower city.

Achoo!

Su Yan, who had just stepped out of the brothel opposite the government office, was hit by a chilly summer wind and couldn't help but sneeze. He shivered all over, tightened his winter coat, and subconsciously looked at the iceberg outside Flower City that was slowly melting and emitting a lot of cold air.

"Just as the dean said, we really need to wear winter clothes in temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius. The flower area will have a very cool summer this year!"

Su Yan rubbed his hands together, put them in his pockets, said goodbye to Lao Dai and his group, and turned to walk across the street to the government office, preparing to go home to warm himself by the fire.

In previous years, the temperature in the flower-growing region in August could reach 34 or 35 degrees Celsius, and has even reached over 40 degrees Celsius.

However, this August, the temperature reached an unprecedented sub-zero due to the iceberg created by the dragon father. The flower area, which usually has a temperature of over 10 degrees Celsius in winter, has never experienced such cold weather before.

The combination of the Crimson King and the Dragon Father brought a small shock to the people of Flower City.

As a result, the Crimson King's Palace had to spend millions of spirit stones to cover the losses and distribute pensions.

"Phew—it's freezing!"

Su Yan returned to the back hall of the government office, but instead of walking in human form as usual, he jumped up and transformed into a little fox, turning into Qingya's arms. He shivered and let out a sigh.

Because of the unusual weather, Qingya has been extremely busy lately, basically sitting in front of the charcoal stove baking and roasting medicinal herbs for treating colds.
