Don't Make Things Difficult for Me

Bai Wanwan's gaze was somewhat vacant.

She stared blankly at the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear embedded in the ground.

This was a Divine Artifact forged from the Water Dragon King's spine.

Although Bai Wanwan wielded the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear as easily as an extension of her arm, Divine Artifacts possessed spirits. If anyone else gripped the Reverse Wave Dragon Spear, its weight would increase drastically, and they would suffer a backlash from the energy contained within it.

Yet she had just watched the figure before her withstand that backlash head-on, forcibly seize the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear, and drive it into the floor before him.

That figure had even remained seated the entire time without moving an inch. The teacup in his other hand had not spilled a single drop.

Gulp~

Bai Wanwan swallowed involuntarily, a thought gradually surfacing in her mind: an old man teasing a child.

"It's the middle of the night. Don't go shouting and making a fuss, or you'll make things difficult for me. Besides, even if you call over the Titled Douluo in the other room, crushing them to death would take no more than a lift of my hand."

As the imposing voice fell, there came another slurping sound as he drank his tea.

Bai Wanwan sat quietly on the bed without moving, but her expression kept shifting as she searched through the names of the continent's experts in her mind.

Guibao and Moxiong were both level ninety-five in Soul Power. There were only a handful of people on the entire continent capable of entering her room without their notice and confidently claiming they could crush them to death with a wave of a hand.

After ruling out Spirit Hall's own people, there seemed to be even fewer experts who matched the trait of Golden Eyes.

In fact, Bai Wanwan could think of only one person.

"Di Tian?"

Bai Wanwan softly uttered the two words, as if asking a question.

"Hm?"

Di Tian's tea-drinking motion paused slightly, but as though he had thought of something, it soon returned to normal.

"It's me."

"I thought you no longer recognized me. You threw a spear at me without saying a word."

Di Tian raised his teacup again and savored a mouthful of fragrant tea, his gaze never leaving Bai Wanwan.

As a pure-blooded member of the Dragon Clan, Di Tian had received personal instruction from the Dragon God during his childhood. During the Dragon Clan's most glorious era, he had also served as the Dragon God's captain of the personal guard, so he had naturally met the Water Dragon King before.

Bai Wanwan's current appearance was seventy percent similar to that of the Water Dragon King from long ago. Yet beneath that resemblance, the feeling she gave Di Tian was utterly unfamiliar.

Her bloodline was that of the Water Dragon King, and her appearance was seventy percent similar to the Water Dragon King's former appearance, yet she gave Di Tian a completely different feeling. To put it simply, perhaps the current Bai Wanwan was not the Water Dragon King of old.

Bai Wanwan also silently watched Di Tian, not responding to his words.

Because she did not know how to respond.

More precisely, she did know Di Tian, but she had never remembered him.

She knew Di Tian because of her memories from before transmigrating, while she had never remembered him because this was the first time she had met him.

The room fell silent once more.

Bai Wanwan and Di Tian sat facing one another, their gazes meeting across the room, but neither spoke again.

After a long while.

Di Tian set down his teacup, rose, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the dim street below.

"My lord wishes to see you."

"Will you come home with me now?"

"Back to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is the treasure of our Spirit Beast clan, and it can be considered our last pure land."

Di Tian clasped his hands behind his back, his voice gentle and quiet.

Perhaps recalling something, Di Tian added, "My lord is not the Dragon God now, but the Silver Dragon King, who was born from the Dragon God's division after his fall."

Bai Wanwan stood and pulled the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear from the floor. The spear vanished from her hand as she stored it away again.

After a moment of silence, Bai Wanwan did not answer Di Tian's question. Instead, she voiced the doubt in her heart.

"Di Tian, am I the Water Dragon King?"

"Not long ago, I saw the Water Dragon King's remains in Sunset Forest. When I touched them, they turned into two Divine Artifacts."

Bai Wanwan crossed her legs and quietly waited for Di Tian's answer.

"If you aren't the Water Dragon King, then who else could you be?"

Di Tian gave Bai Wanwan a somewhat strange look. "You once fell, but not long ago, my lord told me she sensed your aura."

"And my lord said that in the memories the Dragon God left her, you gained new life at the very moment you fell. Don't you know any of this yourself?"

Bai Wanwan's clear eyes were filled with confusion.

Was I supposed to know?

When she carefully recalled all her memories from childhood until now, aside from the memories of her previous life, the first person she had seen upon opening her eyes in this world was Guangling.

Before that, there was nothing at all.

"You don't know?"

"What do I know?"

"You can even say my name. How could you not know?"

"Uh, I can say your name, but I really don't know."

Di Tian and Bai Wanwan stared wide-eyed at each other.

The room gradually fell quiet again, so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Di Tian's gaze traveled over Bai Wanwan from head to toe. He had originally wanted to ask how she had gained new life, after all, the Nine Dragon Kings had all basically fallen at the Dragon God's hands, and the Water Dragon King was the only one who had been reborn.

But seeing Bai Wanwan like this, Di Tian felt that asking his lord after returning would probably be more reliable.

"If you don't know yourself, then once we return and meet my lord, you should find out. My lord possesses the memories left behind by the Dragon God. Perhaps all your questions can be answered by her."

"Will you come home with me now?"

Di Tian looked at Bai Wanwan with a serious expression.

"Not now."

"I still have things to do in Heaven Dou City."

Bai Wanwan gently shook her head.

Hearing this, Di Tian said nothing, as if considering something.

"My Soul Power is currently level fifty-nine. Once it reaches level sixty, I will definitely go to the Star Dou Great Forest. You can return there first. When I go to the Star Dou Great Forest, you can take me to meet the lord you spoke of."

Bai Wanwan rested her hands on her legs and looked seriously at Di Tian before her.

"No. My lord told me to bring you back. If I return alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

Di Tian rubbed his chin with his fingers, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.

"Since you don't wish to return now, I'll follow you in the dark for the time being. Once your Soul Power reaches level sixty, we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Di Tian looked at Bai Wanwan questioningly.

"Uh, it's not impossible for you to follow me, but it might be inconvenient if you follow me like this."

Bai Wanwan hesitated.
