Departure and Bluffing
"Alright!" Gu Yuena smiled slightly and said, "There is another place on the continent where my Dragon Clan has been. We can go and take a look together. It should be of some help to you."
"Hmm!" Lu Yuan nodded gently, feeling a warmth in his heart. Gu Yuena was willing to tell him about the Dragon Graveyard, so she truly considered him one of her own.
"Then I'll be going?" Lu Yuan said softly.
"Okay!" Gu Yuena said softly, but Lu Yuan could hear a faint hint of reluctance in her voice.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Yuan's mind, and he said, "I have something to tell you. I've discovered the place where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings perished. It's in Sunset Forest. Their fall site has formed a treasure basin of heaven and earth, the Icefire Yin Yang Well. I'll take you there to see it later!"
"The Icefire Yin Yang Well!" Gu Yuena's eyes were filled with sorrow. Their Dragon Clan had suffered so much back then. The Water and Fire Dragon Kings were both First-Level Deity, but they never expected to end up like this. After their deaths, no one even collected or buried their remains. How tragic!
"Don't be sad, things will get better!" Lu Yuan gently stroked Gu Yuena's pretty face and said, "I will keep my promise to you. The Spirit Beast Clan will achieve its rightful place, I guarantee it!"
"Hmm!" Gu Yuena withdrew the sadness in her eyes and looked at Lu Yuan with gentle eyes. She had really been bearing it for too long. The entire Spirit Beast Clan was suffocating her, but she had no choice. She had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Soul Beast.
Because she is the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all Soul Beast under heaven, and all Soul Beast are her subjects. She must strive for the future of her subjects, even though she knows it may be a dead end, but she has no other choice.
But now, fortunately, there is finally someone willing to share this heavy responsibility with her. Moreover, this person is exceptionally mysterious. In him, she sees the future of Soul Beast, and she also experiences a feeling she has never experienced before. This feeling is wonderful.
Although his current strength is still very weak, Gu Yuena believes that this person will become the most powerful being in the world sooner or later. She has this premonition and firmly believes that this will definitely come true.
Looking at Gu Yuena's beautiful face, Lu Yuan's heart stirred. He lowered his head slightly and gently kissed her forehead. Instantly, Gu Yuena's body stiffened.
"There's something else I need to tell you: I think I might have fallen for you!"
The boundary between the mixed zone and the core zone of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Lu Yuan stood upright, while Long Xiaoyao stood not far from him.
In front of him stood two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts: the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
"Don't worry, I will protect Xiao Wu for you!" Lu Yuan said softly, looking at the two Soul Beasts.
"Thank you, sir!" said the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Thank you, sir!" came the somewhat unfamiliar voice of the Titan Giant Ape.
"It's alright. It should be in about a year. Xiao Wu and I will be here with a group of people. When that time comes, you can help bring Xiao Wu back. Just be careful not to hurt anyone else!" Lu Yuan said.
"My lord, what about Tang San?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked, its tone Sisi with hostility.
"Leave Tang San to me. It would be too easy for him to die like this. I'll teach him a lesson in cruelty!"
Lu Yuan said calmly.
"Yes, sir!" The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded its large head and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, sir. From today onwards, Er Ming and I belong to you. We will swear to serve you to the death."
"Alright, the thought is what counts, but I do have something I need the Titan Giant Ape to do me a favor for," Lu Yuan said.
"I wonder what's going on?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked.
"It's very simple. I need the Titan Giant Ape as my fifth Soul Ring!" Lu Yuan said calmly, then told the Sky Azure Bull Python some things he and Gu Yuena had said to each other.
Of course, it's not entirely true. Anyway, the gist is that he was ordered by Gu Yuena to take human form in order to become a god and change the fate of the Soul Beast.
However, due to Gu Yuena's methods, he cannot generate his own Soul Ring like ordinary Soul Beast Transformation. Each Soul Ring requires hunting. As Golden Dragon, he needs Soul Beast with strong power, defense, and attack as his Soul Ring. The higher the Soul Ring ratio, the greater the possibility of becoming a god in the future.
Lu Yuan spoke in great detail and with great reason, and he had plenty of evidence to back it up, leaving the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape with no choice but to believe him.
"Once I become a god, resurrecting the Titan Giant Ape will be a small matter. Titan Giant Ape, are you willing to fight with me for the future of Soul Beast?" Lu Yuan said, his tone filled with passion, which was quite attractive to the Titan Giant Ape, a simpleton.
"I do!" said the Titan Giant Ape.
"Er Ming!" the Sky Azure Bull Python shouted, interrupting the Titan Giant Ape's words. Turning its massive bull head, it fixed its gaze on Lu Yuan and said, "My lord, let me be your Soul Ring!"
Lu Yuan slowly shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the Titan Giant Ape is more compatible with my Golden Dragon Spirit, don't forget about Xiao Wu. If you're gone, who will take care of Xiao Wu? The Titan Giant Ape is simple-minded and can easily be manipulated by Xiao Wu. Can it protect Xiao Wu?"
Upon hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python fell silent for a moment, indeed they still had Xiao Wu to take care of.
"Big brother, let me do it! I also want to help our Soul Beast. I don't want our Soul Beast to be bullied by others anymore!" said the Titan Giant Ape.
As she spoke, tears welled up in Huang Chengcheng's eyes, as if she were remembering the time when Xiao Wu's mother was killed.
The Sky Azure Bull Python glanced at the Titan Giant Ape, a hint of sadness in its eyes, but it did not object further. As a member of the Soul Beast, they did indeed have an obligation to sacrifice for the Soul Beast.
"You don't need to worry. Even if the Titan Giant Ape sacrifices itself to me, it won't die. Its soul will live on in my sea of consciousness. I obtained a Divine Seed, so I already had a high chance of becoming a god. With the Tai Tan's help, becoming a god will be even more certain. Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of!"
Lu Yuan said.
"Really? My lord!" asked the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Mm!" Lu Yuan nodded.
"Er Ming I'll leave Erming in your care!" the Sky Azure Bull Python said, its tone Sisi reluctance.
After all, he and the Titan Giant Ape were brothers who had lived together for tens of thousands of years, and his brotherly affection for the Titan Giant Ape was no less than his love for Xiao Wu.
"Well, but you don't need to rush. I'm only level 39 now, and I'm still a long way from level 50. You can still be together for a long time. Even if the Tai Tan sacrifices himself for me, I will come back often, and you can see each other frequently then."
Lu Yuan said.
