**Chapter 384: Deep Despair**

**Chapter 384: Deep Despair**

Zhao Ling argued with Dugu Bo for a while, and after much persuasion, he finally left, satisfied. Although Zhao Ling never said the word "Grandpa," which Dugu Bo most wanted to hear, he did promise to propose marriage as soon as possible and give Dugu Yan a legitimate identity.

After Dugu Bo left, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Ah Rou, and the other beauties who were unemployed at home gathered around him. They brought up the topic of wanting to have a grand wedding.

After hearing this, Zhao Ling nodded. His wives had been with him for so long, but only Dong'er and Yin'er were officially engaged to him—the others didn't even have that. So, Zhao Ling felt that it was time to hold a grand wedding. After all, he had no shortage of money or people. It would be better to hold a grand wedding and invite all his relatives and friends.

As for the girls he would take as wives in the future, the worst-case scenario would be that he could find opportunities to make it up to them one by one. It was impossible that he wouldn't get married, right?

Once Zhao Ling agreed, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ah Rou were delighted. All three women expressed their willingness to coordinate the matter.

Zhao Ling shook his head. How could he leave this important task to them as brides? After thinking about it, Zhao Ling felt that the matter could be handed over to Ning Fengzhi. First of all, Ning Fengzhi had a very good relationship with him, so he shouldn't refuse if Zhao Ling asked him to handle it. Secondly, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was prestigious enough to manage the arrangements.

However, Zhao Ling still needed to discuss the matter with him. He would ask Ning Fengzhi to choose an auspicious day and help prepare for the wedding. Zhao Ling also had to notify his beauties one by one that anyone who had physical contact with him must become a bride at this wedding.

By the way, Zhao Ling also thought it was necessary to invite some masters with strong painting skills to capture the grand wedding scene. He wanted them to paint pictures of all his beauties wearing their beautiful wedding dresses as they became brides.

For the task of finding a master with exceptional painting skills, Zhao Ling thought it could be handed over to Qian Renxue. After all, she was still pretending to be the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, and the painters supported by the royal family represented the highest level in the world. It shouldn't be a big problem for her to select a few painters with excellent skills from those supported by the royal family.

Besides, such a big wedding would definitely require a lot of people to help. As for the individuals from the four single-attribute sects under his command, it shouldn't be too difficult to manage them.

But for now, Zhao Ling felt there were more important things to attend to. He reached out and gently rubbed the heads of his three wives, then smiled. "Wives, I have to take care of something first. We'll discuss the details of the wedding arrangements when I come back this evening."

Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ah Rou understood that Zhao Ling must have something important to deal with, so they nodded and watched his figure disappear from their sight.

**Above a Forest, Ten Miles Away**

Zhao Ling appeared after a space fluctuation, muttering to himself, "It should be in this direction. Why can't I see it now? Forget it; let's use my spiritual sense to detect it."

Immediately, Zhao Ling released his spiritual consciousness. For a moment, endless spiritual energy surged from him, spreading in all directions at an incredibly fast speed. In less than a second, Zhao Ling's spiritual sense detected that there were thousands of people in a deserted village more than ten miles away. Moreover, many of them had strong soul power.

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed this was indeed the place where the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family lived in seclusion. In that case, he might as well give them a surprise. He had used the three "hummingbird" props given by the system to teach the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family two profound lessons. However, after the second incident, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family became completely deserted.

So much so that, over the years, whenever Zhao Ling felt depressed, he had no way to vent his dissatisfaction toward the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Now that he had finally found them, he couldn't let this opportunity slip away. Zhao Ling decided to remind them of the unforgettable pain they had caused him.

He disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, hundreds of high-quality spirit stones were floating around him, and there was a look of satisfaction on his face. "It seems my efforts in using the New God Realm to create spirit stone veins have paid off. It's only been a short time, and the New God's Realm has produced so many high-quality spirit stones. What a pity, though, that too little time has passed."

Zhao Ling smiled to himself. "It would be perfect if all these were top-grade spirit stones. But these are enough to give the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family a good lesson." Then, Zhao Ling took out the hummingbird props that had been lying unused in his storage space and absorbed the hundreds of high-quality spirit stones into them.

Immediately, the three hummingbird props quickly grew larger, turning into giant creatures, each thirty to forty meters long, with a wingspan of forty to fifty meters. Under Zhao Ling's control, the three giant birds flew toward the location where the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was hiding.

With Zhao Ling's current strength, he could have easily destroyed the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in an instant, but he didn't choose that route. He liked to "cut flesh with a blunt knife," making his enemies remember the pain deeply ingrained in their bones. He just wanted them to realize that, despite all their efforts to hide from him for so long, they had finally been found. He wanted the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family to know that no matter how fast a mouse runs or how secretively it hides, it will eventually be caught by a cat.

**Meanwhile, in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family's Secluded Village**

The three elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family—Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian—were discussing important matters. Yu Tianheng, meanwhile, was staring at a portrait hanging on a wooden stake. The person in the portrait was none other than Zhao Ling.

Don't misunderstand—Yu Tianheng wasn't doing anything strange to the portrait, like Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, two of Zhao Ling's crazy fans. In fact, he was holding a knife in his hand and stabbing at the portrait. His most beloved person had been taken away by Zhao Ling, and now, unable to deal with Zhao Ling himself, Yu Tianheng vented all his anger on the portrait.

At that moment, three huge monsters appeared, flying over the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's home. They circled in the sky for a while, and many giant eggs began to fall from the three monstrous creatures. This scene was all too familiar to the older generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. It was so familiar that it was engraved in their bones. Every time they dreamed of those two painful experiences, they would mentally collapse.

Now, the same terrifying beings had descended upon them once more, and the despair they felt was overwhelming...
