Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Mmm, I Believe You

Although Li City was a border city in Ye Country.

However, it was different from Barbaric City. Barbaric City was left to its own devices, whereas Li City was a key city that the royalty and nobility of the capital had prioritized for development.

It was also a heavily guarded border fortress.

Therefore, whether from the inside or out, Li City appeared far more prosperous than Barbaric City.

The markets were stocked with every imaginable good.

And the City Lord Mansion in Li City was even more grand and opulent than its counterpart in Barbaric City.

The City Lord Mansion was especially lively today, as it was rumored that mysterious members of the Flood Dragon Clan would be attending a banquet.

Consequently, all the prominent figures in Li City had been invited to the City Lord Mansion as guests.

The common folk of Li City who had heard the news also gathered outside the City Lord Mansion early on, craning their necks in anticipation. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the legendary, mysterious members of the Flood Dragon Clan and see what they actually looked like.

But which member of the Flood Dragon Clan was it?

But regardless of who it was, the chance to see a member of the Flood Dragon Clan was, in itself, a tremendously exciting event for them!

So, when Shen Yue, Huang Ziyue, and Wu Huo arrived at the entrance to the City Lord Mansion, the gate was already completely blocked by a massive crowd.

"Members of the Flood Dragon Clan are here in Li City! This is wonderful!"

"The Flood Dragon Clan is so mysterious. I wonder if we’ll get to see what they look like today?"

"Maybe they have three heads and six arms, are eight feet tall, and have Dragon Claws!"

"Are you even describing a person? The Flood Dragon Clan is so noble; they must be far more handsome than us common members of the Beast Clan!"

"Exactly! Stop talking nonsense!"

Listening to the chattering crowd, Shen Yue couldn’t help but glance at Huang Ziyue, whose expression had darkened beside her.

Huang Ziyue had concealed his aura and was completely wrapped in a dark red cloak, the brim of its hood obscuring his devastatingly handsome face.

The only thing he couldn’t hide was the icy chill emanating from his body.

His tall, slender frame was equally impossible to ignore, even as he stood silently in the crowd.

She reached out, playfully tugging on his sleeve, and teased:

"Your Excellency, the Great Emperor Master, why don’t you show me those Dragon Claws of yours!"

Huang Ziyue stiffened. He glanced down at her delicate fingers clutching his sleeve, and his throat tightened.

Then, in a tone that was anything but joking, he uttered a single word:

"Tonight."

Shen Yue blinked, confused.

"Tonight? What do you mean?"

Huang Ziyue lowered his voice.

"I’ll show you tonight."

Shen Yue: "..."

She was utterly baffled.

’I was just teasing him. I didn’t say I actually wanted to see them.’

’Besides, why would he have to wait until tonight to show me a Dragon Claw?’

’If he really thought I wanted a look, he could just hold out his hand right now. Why make me wait?’

She cleared her throat.

"Uh, I didn’t say you absolutely have to show me."

But upon hearing this, Huang Ziyue seemed displeased.

"Why not? You said you wanted to see, so why don’t you want to anymore?"

He stared at her with such intensity it was as if he absolutely had to show her.

He looked as though he would get angry if she refused.

Shen Yue thought he was being a little too intense. Although she had no idea why he was getting so worked up over showing her his claws, she decided to indulge her man and said resignedly:

"Alright, alright, I’ll look. Show them to me tonight."

Only after hearing her agree did Huang Ziyue’s features relax.

"Mm."

From that single, short sound, Shen Yue could hear his delight.

She was completely bewildered.
