You Wouldn't Want Anyone to Know You're Hiding Here to Secretly Heal Your Injuries, Would You?
Not long after returning to Spirit Hall, Qian Xunfeng received news from his spies and immediately burst out laughing. He hadn't expected Tang Hao to really beat up his own brother because his lust had gone to his head.
First, he pissed off his father to death, then tortured his older brother and ran off with his sister-in-law. Tang Hao really was quite the talent.
Using the mark on Tang Hao's ninth Soul Ring, Qian Xunfeng quickly found where Tang Hao was hiding.
Looking at the notice regarding Clear Sky Sect's wanted order, a good idea surfaced in his mind.
After roughly calculating the time, there were only about nine months left until Tang San's birth. He would need to keep a close eye on things.
He wanted to see what the Demon Child would look like after being born, and while he was at it, steal the Tang Sect Secret Arts and release them across the Entire Continent.
Because of Dugu Qiubai, Qian Xunfeng did not intend to take him to Spirit Hall Academy. He would rather have Elder Golden Crocodile train him and strengthen his physique.
"Your Holiness the Pope, why have you come?"
The homebody squad of the Worship Hall looked at Qian Xunfeng as he entered, privately thinking that today was unusual. The Pope, who normally wandered around everywhere every day, had actually settled down for several months. Rare indeed.
"You uncles can just call me Xunfeng in private."
Qian Xunfeng brought Dugu Qiubai, who stood behind him, before Elder Golden Crocodile and said, "This is Dugu Bo's grandson, Dugu Qiubai. I want you to take him as your disciple."
"Dugu Qiubai. What an arrogant name."
Golden Crocodile looked at the little runt before him and laughed. Dugu Bo really dared to give his grandson that name. Was he afraid the boy would die too late or something?
You say the Pope named him? Oh, then never mind.
"Heh, I evolved this boy's martial soul with divine power. It counts as a Divine Martial Soul, and perhaps he may even have a chance to become a god in the future."
"A Divine Martial Soul!"
A trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of the various worshippers. They could not help but sigh at the boy's good fortune in receiving Qian Xunfeng's approval.
"Fine, then I, Golden Crocodile, will take him in. He can cultivate alongside Tian Yue from now on."
Golden Crocodile naturally grinned from ear to ear. A Divine Martial Soul, valued by the Pope, and the same age as Tian Yue—excellent. Full marks.
"Mm, give this Earth Dragon Golden Melon to that little girl Tian Yue."
Qian Xunfeng naturally understood Golden Crocodile's meaning, but he did not stop him. After handing an Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Golden Crocodile, he said to Dugu Qiubai.
"Qiubai, hurry and pay respects to your master."
"Disciple Dugu Qiubai greets Master."
With the apprenticeship complete, Qian Xunfeng did not linger any longer. He headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest. Upon reaching its depths, he released his divine power and continuously probed for the Silver Dragon King's location.
"Divine power!"
The suddenly appearing divine power woke the sleeping Silver Dragon King. The wounds left on her body by the Asura God were somewhat gruesome.
Could the God Realm have discovered my location? The Silver Dragon King could not make sense of it. She had hidden herself so well—how had she been found?
If she had not sensed that this divine power bore no hostility, she would have suspected there was a traitor among them!
"Di Tian, come see me."
To be safe, her wise mind decided to first send the loyal Di Tian to investigate.
"My Lord."
Di Tian, who had been savoring Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as a delicious meal, heard the Silver Dragon King's summons. He immediately set down his food and flashed over to appear before her.
Seeing the awakened Silver Dragon King, Di Tian was immensely excited. Could it be that his lord had already devised a plan to revive the soul beasts?
"There is a special human outside. Go bring him to me. Remember, do not start a conflict, and do not reveal my identity."
"Yes."
Di Tian was one hundred percent loyal to the Silver Dragon King's orders and vowed to complete the mission.
At the very least, he was curious what sort of person could make his lord so cautious.
Qian Xunfeng was still strolling around when he saw a figure rushing toward him.
After sensing him slightly, he found that it was Di Tian, that unlucky sucker.
"Your Excellency, the Title Douluo, our lord invites you. Please come with me."
Though Di Tian was a rough brute, he had followed the Silver Dragon King for many years and knew some etiquette.
Led by Di Tian, Qian Xunfeng easily entered the true Lake of Life.
The Fierce Beasts who had originally followed the Silver Dragon King did not know of her orders. Seeing Di Tian bring a human here, they immediately bristled.
"Di Tian, why have you brought a human here? Have you betrayed our lord?"
Xiong Jun had no brains. Even as a four-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast, he was still missing a screw. Without asking for clarification, he slapped down with his paw.
Qian Xunfeng had no time to watch others go crazy here. With a casual wave of his hand, overwhelming divine might pinned Xiong Jun down so firmly that he could not move.
"Xiong Jun, this lord was invited by our master. Hurry and stand down."
Seeing Xiong Jun casually suppressed, Di Tian inwardly cursed. He needed to exchange several moves with Xiong Jun himself, yet this man had suppressed him with a flick of his hand.
How strong was this person? A god?
"Hehe, Your Excellency, this Old Bear admits his mistake. Wasn't I just anxious?"
Upon hearing that it was the Silver Dragon King's order, Xiong Jun scratched his head foolishly.
Qian Xunfeng released Xiong Jun from his suppression, then inspected the situation at the Lake of Life. There were six Fierce Beasts; including Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, their food, there were seven.
Among them, he glanced once more at Bi Ji and Zi Ji. They were alright, but not to his taste. He could not be bothered to steal another's love, and with that time, he might as well go tie up the Ice and Snow Two Emperors.
As for the Silver Dragon King, he merely took a casual look.
As for liking her, that was out of the question. At most, he lusted after her body. Qian Xunfeng had no need to hide that; it was merely a small hobby.
Moreover, compared to the Silver Dragon King, the embodiment of the Dragon God's "wisdom," he appreciated the Snow Empress more. At least her brain could distinguish facts, and she came with a Green-haired Legal Loli Sister as a bonus.
"Take me to see the Silver Dragon King."
After walking all the way into the depths of the Lake of Life, he saw an enormous silver dragon lying atop a massive piece of Life Gold, continuously washing over the gruesome wound on her chest.
"What are you doing here? I have no information about a god like you in my memories."
The Silver Dragon King curiously looked at the divine power radiating from him, close to that of a Level Two God. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. A newly emerged god?
"Of course you haven't seen me. I haven't become a god yet."
Qian Xunfeng smiled faintly, not intending to hide anything. Instead, he looked at the Silver Dragon King with great interest and said, "I truly didn't expect the Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's former avatars, to be hiding here and secretly licking her wounds."
"Who exactly are you?"
The Silver Dragon King's gaze turned hostile, but Qian Xunfeng seemed unconcerned. Could she even beat him, yet she dared bare her fangs at him?
"Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that you wouldn't want others to know you're secretly hiding here to heal your injuries, would you, Silver Dragon King?"
After hearing those words, the Silver Dragon King immediately came to her senses. She helplessly sighed and fixed Qian Xunfeng with her pair of dragon eyes.
"Human, what exactly do you want?"
"I want seventy percent of all the Life Gold in the Lake of Life!"
Qian Xunfeng's shocking declaration immediately drew an angry rebuke from the Silver Dragon King.
"Impossible. Life Gold is extremely important to us. I can only give you twenty percent."
Any more would affect her recovery.
"Heh, don't be so hasty. In exchange, how about I treat your injuries?"
Looking at the Silver Dragon King, who was continuously using Life Gold to wash away the Asura Divine Power from her wound, Qian Xunfeng slowly said, "If you use Life Gold to heal it, who knows how many tens of thousands of years it will take."
"Give me seventy percent of the Life Gold, and within ten years, I can help you completely wear away this Asura Divine Power."
