Seeing Qiu'er Again
"Why should I object?" Gu Yuena looked at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes and asked in return.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback and said, "I want its Soul Ring and Soul Bone, shouldn't you be angry?"
You know, he wanted the Titan Giant Ape to sacrifice himself because he wanted the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring, right?
Isn't Gu Yuena angry?
"Why are you angry? Didn't you say you would revive it? Besides, you are the hope of our Spirit Beast Clan. Let alone it, I would even sacrifice myself for you one day. As long as our Spirit Beast Clan can rise, no Soul Beast is not worth sacrificing."
Gu Yuena spoke with an unprecedented firmness in her voice.
All Soul Beast should dedicate their strength to the rise of the Spirit Beast Clan, including her.
This is Gu Yuena's true thought.
"That day will never come, and I will never let anything happen to you."
Lu Yuan held Gu Yuena tightly in his arms. "I will do my best to help the Spirit Beast Clan race rise, but you absolutely cannot have such thoughts, because I will not allow it!"
Compared to Gu Yuena, what are mere Soul Ring? He was genuinely afraid that Gu Yuena harbored such dangerous thoughts.
He can scheme against everything in the world, but only to ensure that the people around him are not harmed in the slightest. If he can't even protect his own woman and has to ask her to sacrifice herself for him, then does he deserve to be called a man?
He is neither Tang San nor Huo Yuhao. He would never allow his beloved to sacrifice herself for him in front of him. Even if he were to die, he would definitely die before Gu Yuena.
"Okay!" Gu Yuena clearly sensed Lu Yuan's excitement and worry, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"You promise me you won't have this idea of sacrificing yourself again, or I'll quit right now."
"To me, the Spirit Beast Clan is far less important than you. If you die, then let the Spirit Beast Clan decline forever."
To prevent Gu Yuena from doing something foolish, Lu Yuan had no choice but to use his trump card.
"This!" Gu Yuena was shocked. She didn't expect Lu Yuan to react so strongly, and she was stunned for a moment.
But seeing Lu Yuan's resolute expression, she could only assure Lu Yuan that she would never have such thoughts again.
"Na'er, you must remember this: to me, you are the greatest bond between me and the Spirit Beast Clan. So you don't need to try to get closer to me and the Spirit Beast Clan. As long as you are here, I will do my best to help you without you having to say anything. So if you want to see the day when the Spirit Beast Clan rises, the first thing you need to do is protect yourself, understand?"
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Yuena with sincere and gentle eyes.
"Yes!" Gu Yuena nodded heavily, her heart filled with emotion and warmth.
Seeing Gu Yuena nod, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from the Golden Dragon Bloodline in his body, his only connection with the Spirit Beast Clan was Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er.
The former was his lover, and the latter was his sister.
All the Soul Beast can sacrifice themselves for the rise of the Soul Beast, but these two are the only ones who cannot, absolutely not.
Lu Yuan believed that after his words, Gu Yuena would consider her own safety when acting, and would not foolishly choose to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Spirit Beast Clan.
Because if Lu Yuan really stops, the Spirit Beast Clan will see no hope at all. Even when the Dragon God was around, they were still defeated by the Five Great God Kings, let alone now that there is only one Silver Dragon King.
For the Spirit Beast Clan, Lu Yuan, who is destined to become God of Rules, is their only hope.
Rules govern all things and are above the five supreme powers. As long as Lu Yuan can prove himself God of Rules and control the Power of Rules, then even the Five Great God Kings are nothing more than that.
Even if they join forces, they wouldn't be a match for him.
Of course, proving oneself to be a god is by no means easy, and Lu Yuan still has a long way to go to comprehend and control the Power of Rules.
Gently stroking Gu Yuena's silver hair, Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Na'er, I want to go see the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Do you want to come with me? You've been in this underground space long enough. Go out for a walk."
"I suppose as long as you don't use power exceeding the level of a god, the Divine Realm won't be able to sense you," Lu Yuan said.
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Yuena with expectant eyes. It was really too unfair to such a peerless beauty to stay in this small and monotonous underground space for tens of thousands of years.
"I'll do whatever you say!" Gu Yuena smiled slightly. She never refused Lu Yuan's requests, especially such a small one.
"Then let's go!" Hearing Gu Yuena's affirmative answer, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. He stood up, took Gu Yuena's fair and delicate hand, and walked towards the external spatial passage.
"Phew! It's definitely more comfortable outside!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Although the life energy Lake of Life wasn't as dense as in the underground space, it was exceptionally fresh and gave him a sense of vitality.
Moreover, the bright sun hanging high outside casts golden rays, which, combined with the boundless blue sky, instantly brightens one's mood.
It was infinitely more comfortable than that cramped underground space.
Staying down there for a long time always gives one a sense of oppression. It's amazing that Gu Yuena has stayed there for tens of thousands of years and still has such a gentle nature and kind heart. Lu Yuan admires her for it.
He felt that if he stayed in such a repressive environment for too long, he would definitely find it hard to bear.
Although he does prefer quiet, he is still a human being. As a human being, he needs to interact with others. Humans are, after all, social animals.
"Na'er, how's the scenery outside? It's much better than what you saw in the underground space, isn't it?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Mmm!" Gu Yuena nodded, feeling the gentle breeze and the occasional fragrance of flowers and grass. Her purple eyes unconsciously curved into crescents. She hadn't seen the outside world for tens of thousands of years, and seeing the light of day again today felt wonderful.
Looking at Lu Yuan beside her, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile slightly, and she tightened her grip on Lu Yuan's hand.
Feeling the tightness of Gu Yuena's jade hand in his palm, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, turned his hand, and gripped her tightly again. In an instant, their fingers were intertwined.
They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile. Gu Yuena slowly moved closer, her body slightly pressed against Lu Yuan's shoulder.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to say something, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he sensed a somewhat familiar bloodline fluctuation rushing towards him.
Looking at that familiar golden figure, Lu Yuan's eyes gradually softened.
