The woman descended slowly before Ye Feng on her bare, fair jade feet, then pulled him into her embrace.
"Hehe, I just missed you so much, Sis~"
Ye Feng inhaled the milky fragrance at the tip of his nose and chuckled.
"Stop with the sweet talk. Where did you even learn that?" The Silver Dragon King rolled her eyes at Ye Feng, gently tugging his cheek as she said helplessly, "What is it this time? If I can help, I definitely will..."
Having spent so long with Ye Feng, how could she not see through his thoughts?
This kid definitely had something he wanted her help with today.
However, Ye Feng had always been obedient. He neither caused trouble nor stirred up trouble, and over all these years, he had only asked her for help twice.
The first time had been for the fortune of the Star Dou Forest.
In recent years, the fortune of the Star Dou Forest had inexplicably diminished by quite a bit, as though it were nurturing something.
Ye Feng had wanted her to help find whatever was being nurtured.
Unfortunately, her strength had yet to recover. Moreover, the being being nurtured seemed to be protected by the fortune of Star Dou, so before it was born, no one could find its location.
The Silver Dragon King had actually vaguely guessed what was being nurtured, but she had not said anything. After all, it was only a guess, and she truly did not know the exact location of that thing...
To find the being being nurtured, they would have to turn the entire Star Dou Forest upside down.
The second time had naturally been to awaken his martial soul.
She had even sent Di Tian personally to the human world, bringing back the finest Awakening Stones from there, while she herself set up the formation for Ye Feng.
The result had naturally not disappointed her.
"Mm, actually... Sis, I think that we soul beasts shouldn't remain confined to the Star Dou Forest. If we could integrate into the human world, it would be better for us soul beasts."
Ye Feng spoke slowly.
He had used "we," rather than "you."
Clearly, although he was human, he was already the Young Master of Soul Beasts, so he naturally considered himself one of them.
"What? Integrate into the human world... Xiao Feng, why? The humans outside are so weak. Why should we deal with those weaklings in the human world?" The Silver Dragon King frowned slightly, unable to understand.
The main reason the Silver Dragon King could not understand was that she did not see humans as any threat. She considered them an inferior race—trash and useless beings—and naturally rejected and looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.
After all, humans in this era truly were frail and weak.
The reason soul beasts had not wiped out humanity was not out of kindness, but because they were too proud and complacent.
Furthermore, Di Tian and the others were all busy drinking Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's "blood" and improving their strength. They had no idea what was happening in the human world.
By the time Di Tian and the others came to their senses, humanity had already grown strong enough to rival soul beasts.
By the era of Soul Land III, humans had completely gained the upper hand, while soul beasts had become "endangered creatures" in need of human protection.
Humanity's strength had exceeded the imagination of soul beasts. Only after the Silver Dragon King recovered from her injuries did she choose to "integrate into humanity." Unfortunately, she ultimately could not escape the consequences of her Love Brain, turning a winning hand into a complete disaster.
"Alright, actually... I want to go to the human world to gain experience, but I have no backing. I might get bullied, so I need a faction..."
Ye Feng coughed dryly and changed his wording.
After all, the Silver Dragon King falling into an emotional predicament was something that would happen tens of thousands of years later. Ye Feng could not possibly use that reason to persuade her, so it was better to tell the truth.
Though he possessed tremendous talent, he truly had no powerful background or faction in the human world.
But if Di Tian and those Fierce Beasts entered the human world, they could definitely establish one of the continent's most powerful factions in a short time.
With such a faction behind him, Ye Feng felt that once he entered the human world, he could practically swagger about unchecked.
Spirit Hall, that damned Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Thunderclap Overlord Dragon Sect, the good-for-nothing imperial family of Heaven Dou, and the Star Luo Empire...
None of them would pose any threat whatsoever.
At the same time, this could help soul beasts better understand humanity.
However, that was not what the Silver Dragon King focused on.
"No, you want to go to the human world to gain experience... You're still so young. The human world is dangerous. I won't allow you to go!" The Silver Dragon King instinctively grabbed Ye Feng's arm, her tone turning somewhat stern.
Of course, there was far more worry than sternness in her voice.
After all, in her eyes, humans were all sinister and deceitful.
A child as innocent as Ye Feng would probably be swallowed whole, bones and all, if he went to the human world.
Of course, she did not intend to keep Ye Feng in the Star Dou Forest forever.
Only when Ye Feng truly had the ability to protect himself would she allow him to go to the human world for experience.
With Ye Feng's talent, that would take only around ten years. To her, it was but the blink of an eye—not long at all, nothing worth mentioning.
"Sis, I've already grown up. I can't stay here for the rest of my life. Besides, I really want to see the human world..." Ye Feng immediately put on a pitiful expression, his sparkling eyes filled with longing for the human world.
He knew the Silver Dragon King was stopping him from going to the human world because she was worried about him, but he had no choice. The world of soul beasts was simply too boring.
And because of the Traits, he had to make a trip to the human world as well.
"But..."
Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's heart inexplicably softened, and her purple eyes instantly gentled.
Although she knew Ye Feng was putting on an act, she still could not help softening toward him.
"Humans know a great deal about soul beasts, but soul beasts truly know very, very little about humans. Having Di Tian lead people into the human world to establish a force would allow soul beasts to understand humans better. That would be a good thing too."
Seeing that the Silver Dragon King was beginning to relent, Ye Feng hurriedly continued persuading her.
"Fine... Since you say so, you must have your reasons. Soul beasts really do know very little about the human world. Contact with humans would indeed help us understand them..."
At last, the Silver Dragon King relented.
The main reason she gave in was not what Ye Feng had said about helping soul beasts better understand humans. Rather, it was because establishing a force for the soul beasts would allow them to protect Ye Feng.
In the Silver Dragon King's eyes, humans were incomparably weak. So long as she remained, humans would never be able to cause any great upheaval. Even if humans could become gods, it would merely be due to good fortune—only a handful of them, incapable of dealing a devastating blow to the soul beast race. Naturally, she did not take them seriously.
On the contrary, Ye Feng's safety was what concerned her most.
Ye Feng was human after all, so it was only natural for him to venture into the human world and gain experience. She could not bear to stop him, much less forcibly keep him in the Star Dou Forest.
Since she could not stop him, she could only build Ye Feng a strong backing. She absolutely could not let him be bullied in the human world!
"Hehe, thank you, Sis~"
Upon hearing that, Ye Feng immediately grinned, utterly satisfied inside.
"However, the human world is dangerous. No matter what, you must be cautious—then more cautious still. The humans outside are insidious and cunning. You must not let them deceive you."
The Silver Dragon King tightly held Ye Feng's hand and gently warned him.
Though Ye Feng was human, he had grown up in the Star Dou Forest since childhood and had never come into contact with the human world. Even what he knew of it had merely been hearsay from the Fierce Beasts of the Star Dou Forest.
Especially with Ye Feng being so handsome—if some flirtatious, shameless women in the human world tricked him into giving himself to them, she would truly die of heartache.
Though she had not awakened many times, she had spent no short amount of time with Ye Feng. She had long since regarded him as the most important man in her life.
She wished her injuries would heal faster, so she could leave this place and be with Ye Feng every day, watching him grow up. Perhaps she could even...
"Don't worry. I'm so strong—I'll be very careful. Even if something really happens, don't I still have the protective charm you gave me, Sis~?" Ye Feng said with a cheeky smile.
As he spoke, he took a tiny silver-white scale from his waist and waved it before the Silver Dragon King.
This was the Heart-Protecting Scale, the toughest scale over the Silver Dragon King's heart. Not only could it automatically protect its owner, but it also carried a small portion of the Silver Dragon King's fortune, bringing good luck to its wearer.
The fact that she had given him such a precious scale showed just how deeply the Silver Dragon King cared for and cherished Ye Feng.
"Sigh, once a child grows up, he wants to go out and make his way alone. Maybe one day, he'll forget all about this sister of his..." Knowing she could not keep Ye Feng, the Silver Dragon King sighed softly and put on an aggrieved look.
"How could that be? The Star Dou Forest will always be my home, and Sis will always be my sister~" Ye Feng hurriedly said, hugging the Silver Dragon King.
"Hmph, that's more like it~"
Only then was the Silver Dragon King satisfied. Her beautiful eyes curved as she said, "Establishing a force will take some time. During this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay here and keep me company."
Another reason she did not want Ye Feng to leave was that his cooking was simply too good...
She had no idea where Ye Feng had learned his culinary skills. It was one thing for his meals to be delicious, but he could even make little snacks to cheer her up.
Chocolate and ice cream in particular were her favorites.
Of course, she also wanted to keep Ye Feng around because she was afraid he might suddenly run off, leaving no one to cook for her...
"Hehe, sure. If I stay and keep Sis company, shouldn't there be a reward?" This time, Ye Feng took the initiative to wrap an arm around the Silver Dragon King's slender waist, his gaze falling upon the "food supply" from his childhood...
"Eek, you're already so grown up. Aren't you ashamed?" The Silver Dragon King feigned disgust as she pinched Ye Feng.
This fellow was simply too naughty. Every time, he always tried to push his luck.
But she also knew that she herself had spoiled him into being this way...
No matter what Ye Feng did, she could never bear to be angry with him. She had never even scolded him, which was why this bad fellow had become increasingly bold...
"I'm about to leave, aren't I? Who knows when I'll be able to come back..." Ye Feng put on a pitiful act and directly played the emotional card.
Perhaps it was because the Silver Dragon King was too beautiful, or perhaps the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline had truly affected him, but Ye Feng felt that as he grew older, such thoughts had only become more frequent.
Coupled with his physique, he now felt as though he could keep going for days and nights without becoming too exhausted.
"Hmph... That depends on how you behave. If you behave well, then it's not like it would be impossible..." Gu Yue Na slightly turned her head away and murmured in a huff.
Though she said that, her heart had already softened.
She had heard that the human world was very prosperous. Ye Feng belonged there to begin with, and after he left, she did not know when he would return.
Before they parted, giving Ye Feng a little sweetness might leave a deeper impression on him and make him come back to see her sooner.
"Hehe, Sis is the best~"
Ye Feng chuckled and directly pressed his lips to the Silver Dragon King's red lips.
His hands held the food supply from his childhood.
"No... I haven't agreed yet... You have to behave properly first. I... mmph..."
The Silver Dragon King glared with her purple eyes, angrily pinching the soft flesh at Ye Feng's waist with both hands.
Yet in the end, she could not bear to push Ye Feng away.
Of course, Ye Feng also knew where to draw the line. At this stage, he could only satisfy his appetite a little; anything further was definitely out of the question.
Even so, he was already quite satisfied.
A few days later.
Ye Feng was kicked out by the Silver Dragon King.
"Honestly, you said a few months, but it's only been a few days..." Ye Feng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and left helplessly.
Inside the special space.
The Silver Dragon King adjusted her clothes, her exquisite face flushed crimson.
"That guy is getting more and more out of hand..."
It was not that she disliked Ye Feng. She simply felt that his mind was still immature, and being exposed to such things too early would not be good for his growth.
She could tolerate kissing his little mouth and eating his rations.
But going any further was out of the question.
She had long since regarded Ye Feng as her own little man, and she had even imagined giving him countless dragon babies in the future...
But that would have to wait until Ye Feng grew up...
For now, it was definitely not possible.
Late at night, Ye Feng lay atop the trunk of a giant tree. Through the sparse leaves, he quietly gazed at the brilliant stars in the sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
"Di Tian has already taken several Fierce Beasts to the human world. With their strength, they should soon be able to establish a fairly powerful force," Ye Feng thought to himself.
