The burly man before them was Cao Lei, the young chieftain of the Nether Sea Tiger Shark Clan, and also the fifth prince consort of the North Sea who was married to Zhu Lei.
Given what happened in the sky above the Dragon Palace just two days ago, it's understandable that they would come knocking on our door.
"Take care?" Cao Lei sneered. "You think you can just say 'take care' and that's it? Where do you think you'd put the face of the Nether Sea Tiger Shark Clan?"
Shen Yunhao rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
"Then what do you want?"
"I said! Let's have a fair fight. If you win, I'll withdraw. If you lose... then stay away from my wife!"
What sounded harsh just now now sounds much more reasonable...
The other party's request doesn't seem too unreasonable.
To be honest, as long as Zhu Lei doesn't provoke him, the probability of him provoking her is not high.
Shen Yunhao never had much romantic interest in Zhu Lei; what he always wanted was a puppet he could control.
Now that they know the other party still has a consort, it's even less likely they'll have any designs on him.
Are you suggesting I go back and argue or fight with my little white dragon?
I surrender!
Shen Yunhao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I will not go looking for trouble with your wife in the future, but the premise is... that she doesn't provoke me."
"???"
Shen Yunhao's decisive attitude left Cao Lei stunned. "What did you say?"
"I said, I don't want to fight you!" Shen Yunhao said calmly. "There's no need for us to fight here. My relationship with your wife isn't what you think. As I said before, if I offended you before, I can only apologize."
Cao Lei sneered, "To be cowardly without a fight! Even among humans, that's a shameful thing, isn't it?"
Shen Yunhao, however, did not care. "I have no interest in participating in meaningless battles, even for Li'er's sake. Whoever wins or loses can only prove who is better at fighting, and it can't prove anything else!"
"Sharp-tongued!" Cao Lei pondered for a moment, then changed his words, "You publicly disrespected my wife; this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved! Otherwise I..."
"Enough!"
Just then, a clear, cold female voice came from the doorway. Everyone turned around and saw a woman in a white dress slowly walking in.
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Miss Wei, what are you doing here?"
The person who arrived was none other than Wei Lan, the Holy Maiden of the Ice Spirit Sea Python.
The woman who entered glanced at Shen Yunhao indifferently, "This Coral Pavilion isn't yours to say, why can't I come here?"
Shen Yunhao chuckled dryly and shook his head, quickly guessing that this must have been Mei Yu'er's doing.
It has to be said that although this mother-in-law speaks harshly, she actually cares a lot about her son-in-law...
Upon seeing Wei Lan appear, Cao Lei's expression immediately darkened.
He was the young patriarch of the Nether Sea Tiger Shark Clan, while the other party was the genuine Ice Spirit Sea Python's unique saintess, whose cultivation was at the Void Soul Realm, making her even more powerful than some dragon princesses!
It's obvious that Cao Lei is no match for Wei Lan in terms of strength or background.
"Wei Lan, this has nothing to do with you! Don't get involved!"
"Irrelevant?"
Wei Lan chuckled and slowly walked to stand next to Shen Yunhao. "Are you stupid or crazy? Shen Yunhao is the consort personally chosen by our Li'er, the son-in-law of our Ice Spirit Sea Python Clan. You're saying it has nothing to do with me if he's bullied here?"
"..."
"It's not impossible to fight, how about we have a spar?"
"you!"
Cao Lei's expression grew even uglier. He turned to Shen Yunhao, his eyes filled with disdain, "Shen Yunhao, what else can you do besides hiding behind women?"
Shen Yunhao shrugged. "He can still eat!"
At this moment, he turned to look at the middle-aged man not far away.
"Boss, is my food ready yet? If it is, please serve it quickly!"
Everyone: "..."
Someone comes looking for a fight with you, and you still have the mind to eat?
Seeing that a fight was unlikely to break out, the middle-aged man didn't interfere and turned to walk away.
"I'll bring it to you right away, sir..."
"Miss Wei, why don't you sit down and have something to eat with us?"
"whispering sound!"
Wei Lan scoffed, but still sat down opposite Shen Yunhao without a second thought.
"This... Fifth Prince Consort? Would you also like to sit down and have something to eat?"
Looking at Cao Lei's unwilling expression, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but laugh.
"snort!"
Seeing that Shen Yunhao had no shame whatsoever, Cao Lei knew he wouldn't gain anything and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
But just then, Shen Yunhao suddenly sighed and said, "Actually... to be honest, you're not right for her!"
"boom!"
Cao Lei's steps froze instantly. He turned around abruptly, a storm brewing in his eyes.
"What did you say!"
Shen Yunhao met his gaze without flinching. "I'm telling you... you're not right for her. Some things can't be solved with a fight. If you really want to try to get closer, why don't you—"
"Shut up!" As if a hidden wound in his heart had been ripped open, Cao Lei interrupted rudely, "She's my wife, and it's not your place, an outsider, to tell me how to treat her!"
Shen Yunhao shook his head. "This little green dragon is very vain and has an extremely strong sense of self-esteem. If you really want her approval, you should find a way to help her, instead of fighting and arguing with others here and making a fool of yourself..."
Cao Lei took a deep breath, stared at Shen Yunhao for a long time before saying, "Help her? Ridiculous! Only by being strong enough and outstanding enough can you win a woman's heart!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao remained silent.
He has made it very clear that Candlelight possesses extremely strong ambition and self-esteem.
She would never be content to be just a supporting character to someone...
To put it simply, what Candlelight needs is a "simp," not a "domineering CEO."
Shen Yunhao could even guess that the reason he chose Cao Lei as the prince consort was because... this stupid shark genuinely liked her and was obedient enough to satisfy her ambition and vanity to a large extent, nothing more!
Seeing that Shen Yunhao remained silent, Cao Lei continued to sneer, "A man who doesn't stand up for himself is a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing for life! Have you ever thought about what kind of impact your hiding behind a woman today will have on the Seventh Princess? Everyone in Beihai will know that she has found a good-for-nothing! And you still dare to speak so arrogantly and give orders, it's truly laughable!"
Wei Lan frowned upon hearing this, and just as she was about to speak, Shen Yunhao whispered to her, "Tell me... wasn't my cowardice today a bit too embarrassing? It doesn't matter if I'm embarrassed, but it's not good to embarrass Li'er... She's the most beautiful girl in Beihai, she makes a living with her looks..."
"..."
What kind of people are starting to rely on their looks to make a living?
Besides... is there any necessary connection between making a living based on one's looks and losing face? Did you physically tear off your face?
“It is indeed embarrassing, but... if you really fight him, losing would be even more embarrassing, so I suggest…”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yunhao had already stood up.
"Hey you, whoever it is? The Shark Prince Consort, right? I accept your challenge!"
