**Chapter 246: Don't Give Tong'er Face**

"Don't run! If you have the guts, don't run!" Yu Luomian shouted hysterically, his voice filled with frustration.

But the strange bird ignored him.

"If you're so brave, stop chasing me! Chasing me makes no sense; I'm not a woman! Are you stupid?"

Zhao Ling, showing no respect for his future father-in-law, controlled the giant hummingbird to provoke Yu Luomian and the three elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in every way imaginable.

The first and second elders of the family, pursuing another hummingbird, could never close the fifty or sixty-meter gap.

No matter how many attacks they launched, the bird evaded every one flawlessly. This endless chase, without progress or relief, was maddening.

Yu Yuanzhen, a powerful Titled Douluo, was also enraged as he found himself toyed with by a mere bird.

His seventh soul ring lit up, activating the true form of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. With his physical attributes greatly enhanced, he unleashed his sixth soul skill, Sky-Breaking Dragon Roar.

The massive sonic wave engulfed the giant hummingbird in an indiscriminate attack. Surely this would end it.

However, a protective barrier formed around the bird, nullifying the effects of the attack.

To add insult to injury, the bird turned to taunt him:

"Old Loach, why are you yelling so loudly? Your grandfather isn't deaf, you know. Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders? If I'd known you'd be this rude, I would've drowned you at birth!"

Yu Yuanzhen was nearly overwhelmed with fury. His eighth soul ring lit up as he prepared to unleash Dragon Soaring Sky Thunder Explosion.

A massive thundercloud formed above him, raining down countless bolts of lightning at the bird. Each bolt transformed into a small thunder dragon, crackling with destructive energy. Surely this attack would finish it.

But just as the thunder dragons neared their target, the bird vanished.

Gone.

The thunder dragons flailed in confusion, striking nothing but empty air.

Yu Yuanzhen, his face contorted with frustration, could not understand how the bird had disappeared so suddenly. Neither his eyes nor his mental senses could detect how or where it had gone.

His clenched fists trembled as he scanned the skies, red-eyed and seething. Finding no trace of the bird, he let out a furious roar and turned to join his brother, who was pursuing another bird.

Back at Zhao Ling's mansion, Zhao Ling retracted the bird being pursued by Yu Yuanzhen into his storage space, leaving the other two to torment Yu Luomian and the elders further.

Just moments ago, Yu Yuanzhen's eighth soul skill had posed a serious threat to the hummingbird prop. Not wanting to risk damage, Zhao Ling had safely recalled it.

The remaining two birds, however, were more than capable of keeping Yu Luomian and the elders occupied.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Ling retrieved the other two birds and turned to Liu Erlong with a sly grin.

"Long'er, did you hear the explosions in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? Their entire compound is in ruins. Doesn't that make you happy?"

Liu Erlong, who had indeed heard the loud blasts, nodded with satisfaction.

"Of course I'm happy! But I wish I could have done it myself. I'd have made them suffer even more."

Zhao Ling pondered for a moment before smiling.

"No problem. Next time, I'll let you control one of the birds yourself. You can personally deal with them."

Liu Erlong's eyes sparkled with determination. "Good. Once they rebuild, we'll strike again."

Xiao Wu jumped in excitedly. "Hubby, I want to try controlling one too! Let me play next time!"

"Husband, me too!" Tang Wutong chimed in, her eager eyes fixed on Zhao Ling.

"Fine, fine. Next time, you can all have fun," Zhao Ling said indulgently. But his tone quickly turned stern as he addressed the women.

"Before that, shouldn't we address your little escapade? Sneaking out of the house without permission—do you think you'll get off easily?"

Tang Wutong seized the moment, stepping behind Zhao Ling and pointing accusingly at the others.

"That's right! You four are out of hand. Ignoring our husband and running away—do you think that's acceptable?"

Fixing her gaze on Xiao Wu and Ah Rou, she added, "Especially you two! Abandoning me and fleeing without a care. You should be punished so severely you'll never dare try it again."

Zhao Ling smiled and patted Tang Wutong on the head. "Don't worry. I'll make sure they're properly dealt with."

With that, he grabbed Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong, carrying them toward his room.

Ah Yin and Ah Rou, seeing this, sighed with relief. Perhaps they had been spared.

But just as hope began to bloom, Zhao Ling's teasing voice shattered their illusions.

"Yin'er, Rou'er, you're not off the hook. Follow me now, unless you'd prefer to face me alone later."

Their faces paled as they realized escape was impossible. Their husband's earlier promise of leniency had been nothing but a lie.
