"Humans, this is Sea God Island. Outsiders are not allowed to approach. Leave immediately!" Xiao Bai, exuding the aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, spoke with authority, intending to intimidate Su Bai and his group. Xiao Bai planned to issue a warning first. If they insisted on entering, she would not hesitate to act.
However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Su Rensue on her back leaping toward the Longyuan Boat.
"Xiaoxue?" Xiao Bai was taken aback.
She thought, "Is Xiaoxue so eager? I haven't even decided to act yet, and she can't hold back?"
The next moment, Xiao Bai was dumbfounded.
She saw Su Rensue land on the Longyuan Boat and throw herself into a man's arms, calling out, "Daddy~"
Daddy?
Xiao Bai blinked in confusion.
The man on the boat was Xiaoxue's father?
On the other side, seeing Su Rensue flying toward him, Su Bai smiled and opened his arms.
When Su Rensue reached him, Su Bai hugged his daughter.
When Xiao Bai appeared, Su Bai had already sensed his daughter, Su Rensue, on Xiao Bai's back.
Thus, he wasn't surprised by her actions.
"Xiaoxue~" Su Bai hugged Su Rensue for a moment, then released her.
He reached out and patted her head, saying, "Our Xiaoxue has grown up."
"Hmph~" Su Rensue pouted, "Naughty daddy, how long has it been since you last visited me?"
"It's Daddy's fault. Isn't Daddy here to see you now?" Su Bai, facing his daughter's complaints, had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"Daddy's lying," Su Rensue pouted, "I don't believe Mommy didn't tell you that I'm on Sea God Island. You haven't come to see me for so long. You must have forgotten about me."
Su Bai spent a good while comforting his daughter, bringing her back to her usual cheerful and innocent self.
Holding Su Bai's hand, Su Rensue happily said, "Daddy, you're just in time. Let me introduce you to a friend."
She waved at Xiao Bai, who swam over.
"Daddy, this is Xiao Bai, my best friend on Sea God Island."
Then she turned to Xiao Bai, saying, "Xiao Bai, this is my dad."
Xiao Bai nodded lightly but hesitated, saying, "Xiaoxue, even though he's your dad, as the guardian of Sea God Island, I can't let them enter. I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Su Rensue looked at Su Bai and then at Xiao Bai, feeling conflicted.
On one side was her father, and on the other was her best friend.
Caught in the middle, she felt very troubled.
Su Bai patted his daughter's head and smiled at her.
Then, he turned to Xiao Bai, smiling, "You're no match for me. Since you won't let me in, I can force my way in, right?"
"As far as I know, defeating you allows entry into Sea God Island."
Su Rensue's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Indeed!
Sea God Island had such a rule.
Defeating Xiao Bai allowed entry into Sea God Island.
And her dad was very, very strong.
Even though Xiao Bai was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, she was no match for her dad.
This way, Xiao Bai wouldn't be put in a difficult position, and her dad could enter Sea God Island.
"Defeat me?" Xiao Bai was taken aback, then scrutinized Su Bai, not believing it, "Do you think you can defeat me? Do you know my strength?"
Su Bai chuckled, "Just a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
He recalled how he had defeated the nearly two-hundred-thousand-year-old golden crocodile not long after arriving in this world.
Xiao Bai was just a hundred-thousand-year Demon Spirit Great White Shark.
Despite having the advantage of the terrain, she was not a threat.
"Such arrogance!" Xiao Bai was furious upon hearing this.
Just a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
She felt belittled by Su Bai.
She decided that, even though Su Bai was Xiaoxue's father, she would teach him a lesson.
"Fine, if you can defeat me, I'll let you into Sea God Island."
"Agreed," Su Bai nodded.
"Hmph!" Xiao Bai snorted at Su Bai's calm demeanor, her anger intensifying. "I'll warn you first. This is my home ground. In the water, my strength doubles. If you lose, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Thanks for the reminder," Su Bai responded with a smile.
Seeing Su Bai smile, Xiao Bai felt he was underestimating her.
Her anger grew.
After a while,
Su Bai still didn't make a move.
This feeling grew stronger.
Xiao Bai angrily said, "Since you're not acting, don't blame me for striking first."
With that, Xiao Bai submerged.
Moments later,
Xiao Bai resurfaced.
She opened her massive mouth.
A powerful water jet shot out from her mouth.
Heading straight for Su Bai.
The women were alarmed.
The water jet's power could damage the Longyuan Boat if it hit.
They were worried.
Su Bai simply flew up.
He positioned himself in front of the Longyuan Boat.
Facing the incoming water jet,
he raised his hand slightly.
Xiao Bai frowned, puzzled.
What was Xiaoxue's dad trying to do?
Was he trying to block the water jet with brute force?
That water jet's power could challenge even a Soul Douluo.
Could Xiaoxue's dad, so young, really block it?
If she accidentally killed Xiaoxue's dad, she wouldn't be friends with Xiaoxue anymore.
Worry filled Xiao Bai's heart.
Crackling sounds came from the other side, and Xiao Bai looked up.
Her eyes widened.
The water jet turned to ice upon approaching Su Bai.
Then it shattered into ice chunks.
Falling into the sea with a splash.
The sound was from the ice breaking.
Splash~
Ice chunks fell into the water.
Su Bai effortlessly neutralized Xiao Bai's attack.
"Hmph, not bad!" Xiao Bai snorted, still unconvinced.
"So what?"
She submerged again, reemerging shortly after.
This time, she sprayed water into the air.
After a while,
Rumbling sounds echoed from above, startling the women.
The sky darkened.
It wasn't clouds, but a massive water wave descending from above.
It was Xiao Bai's attack.
Su Bai merely smiled.
He raised his hand again, turning the wave into ice.
Xiao Bai laughed.
She anticipated this move.
The ice shattered, falling from the sky.
The women were terrified.
Su Bai continued, waving his hand.
A strong wind blew.
Scattering the falling ice.
Neutralizing Xiao Bai's attack effortlessly.
