Cold sweat beaded on Li Jing's forehead. He knew things were far from over, but handing over his son...

Lady Yin cried so hard she nearly fainted, tightly holding Nezha: "No, no! My son is still so young, you can't..."

"Mother," Nezha suddenly spoke, his voice calm, "Let go."

Madam Yin was taken aback: "Nezha..."

"Let go," Nezha said again, breaking free from her embrace and taking two steps forward.

He looked up at the four colossal dragons that blotted out the sky in mid-air. His small figure was as insignificant as a speck of dust in front of the enormous dragon bodies, but he stood there with his back straight, without the slightest fear.

"I killed that snake, and I pulled out its tendons," he said, his voice not loud, but clear enough to reach everyone's ears. "He tried to kill me, so I beat him. It's only right."

Ao Guanglong's eyes widened, his anger intensifying: "You little beast! You still dare to talk back!"

"Stubborn to the end?" Nezha chuckled, his smile a mix of innocence, arrogance, and a hint of menace. "Your son can't beat me, so he's a waste. You can't beat me either, so you're a waste. Even if you call your three brothers together, you're still a waste."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the six-year-old child. How dare he insult the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas like that!

Ao Guang trembled with rage, his dragon whiskers bristling: "What a conceited little beast! If I don't tear you to pieces today, I, Ao Guang, will be unworthy of being the Dragon King!"

He opened his enormous mouth, and a towering column of water, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, crashed down on Nezha's head!

"Nezha!" Li Jing and Lady Yin exclaimed at the same time.

Nezha stood motionless. He simply stared at the column of water that could crush him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of him. The person was dressed in a pale yellow dress, with black hair like clouds. She had her back to him, her figure slender, yet she stood in front of him.

She raised her hand and gently clenched her fist.

boom!!!

The water column, powerful enough to destroy the entire mansion, exploded three zhang in front of her, turning into a cloud of water mist that was blown away by the wind.

Ao Guang's pupils dilated in shock, and the other three Dragon Kings were also stunned.

The woman withdrew her hand, raised her head, and looked directly at the four dragons: "Oh, the Four Dragon Kings have all come? Quite a grand affair."

Ao Guanglong's eyes widened in surprise and doubt: "Who are you?"

"Me?" The woman tilted her head, a smirk playing on her lips. "Someone you can't afford to offend."

Nezha stood behind her, looking up at her back.

It turns out she wasn't lying to him.

Ao Guang was thoroughly enraged by this dismissive attitude. He swung his dragon body and roared, "Insolence! Whoever you are, daring to obstruct my revenge is to become an enemy of the Four Seas Dragon Clan!"

"So what if we're enemies? It's not like we haven't fought before." She stepped forward, one step, two steps, three steps.

With each step she took, her aura surged even more.

By the time they reached the fifth step, the overwhelming pressure was so immense that it made everyone present gasp for breath.

Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were so weak in the knees that they all knelt down on the ground.

By the time she reached the tenth step, she was suspended in mid-air, facing off against the four giant dragons.

Her aura was in no way weaker than the combined pressure of the four giant dragons opposite her.

Ao Guang's expression changed drastically. He was well-informed and could easily tell the woman's cultivation level.

But how could this be? Where did a woman with such cultivation come from? He had no idea.

"Who...who exactly are you?" His voice had changed.

"I told you, this is someone you can't afford to mess with."

"You!" Ao Guang was so angry he was practically fuming, but he dared not make a move.

The West Sea Dragon King, Ao Run, frowned and said, "Your Excellency, this is a private feud between my East Sea Dragon Palace and the Li family. Why must you interfere?"

"Personal grudge? Your son wanted to kill my men, and you call that a personal grudge?"

"Your people?" Ao Run was taken aback.

Bai Yeying turned her head and looked down at the small figure. Nezha was looking up at her, his phoenix eyes shining.

She smiled at him, then turned back, her gaze sweeping over the four dragons, and said calmly, "He's one of my men. To harm him is to harm me."

That short sentence stunned everyone present.

Li Jing stared at the scene in disbelief. Lady Yin covered her mouth, tears blurring her vision.

And Nezha, the child who had remained expressionless throughout, now had something flickering slightly in his phoenix eyes.

Ao Guang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Your Excellency, my son had his dragon tendons pulled out by him, his thousand years of cultivation destroyed in an instant. Are you just going to let this matter go like this?"

"Of course we can't let it go." Bai Yeying nodded, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear her continue, "Your son struck first, and since he was outmatched and got his tendons pulled out, that's his own fault. As for you..."

Her gaze swept over the four colossal dragons, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "The Four Dragon Kings have neglected their duties, gathering at Chen Tang Pass to bully the weak and the many. If this were to reach the Heavenly Court, how do you think the Jade Emperor would handle it?"

Ao Guang's expression changed.

Bai Yeying continued, "Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, first allowed his son to commit atrocities, and then launched a military retaliation. The three Dragon Kings of the West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea neglected their duties and aided and abetted the tyrant. Tell me, aren't these crimes enough for you to face the execution platform?"

"You!" Ao Guang trembled with rage. "You're spouting nonsense!"

"Slanderous accusations?" Bai Yeying laughed, a laugh that sent chills down the spines of the four giant dragons. "I saw it with my own eyes, I experienced it firsthand. Shall we go to the Lingxiao Palace for a confrontation?"

Ao Guang's face turned pale and then flushed.

He knew, of course, that if this matter went to the Heavenly Court, they would be in the wrong. Moreover, the woman before him possessed profound cultivation and an unknown background; he might not be able to win in a real fight.

"Fine, fine!" he gritted his teeth. "You've got me today! But my son's matter will not end here!"

He swayed his dragon-like body and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Bai Yeying suddenly said.

Ao Guang turned around, glaring at her: "What else do you want?"

Bai Yeying spoke slowly, "I may not report today's events to the Heavenly Court. But you must remember..."

She paused, her gaze sharpening: "From now on, Nezha's affairs are my affairs. To harm him is to harm me."

"Go!" he said in a deep voice, without saying another word, leading his shrimp soldiers and crab generals into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The other three Dragon Kings also slunk away.

The storm has thus subsided.

Bai Yeying landed from mid-air, clapped her hands, and turned to look at Nezha.

The little one stood still, looking up at her. His phoenix eyes shone with an astonishing light.

Bai Yeying walked over, squatted down, and looked him in the eye.

"How was it?" she asked with a smile. "Isn't your older sister amazing?"

Nezha stared at her for a long time before suddenly speaking: "You just said I was your person."

Bai Yeying was taken aback: "Uh... that was meant for those snakes to hear..."

"I have no objection," Nezha interrupted her, his little face serious. "Your people are your people."

Bai Yeying was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She reached out, picked up the little one, and spun him around in the air.

"Ah!" Nezha was caught off guard and instinctively grabbed her shoulder. "What are you doing!"
