Flash Heavenly Emperor Teases the Silver Dragon King

"Xiao Yu, what are you and our junior sister talking about?"

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu getting along so well with Gu Yuena, Leng Yao Zhu curiously came over as well. Gu Yuena could now be considered her junior sister, and addressing her that way would help bring them closer.

Although Leng Yang Jun had not said it outright, Leng Yao Zhu had guessed her father's intentions and naturally wanted to join the conversation.

Though Qian Gu Huang Yu understood Leng Yao Zhu's thoughts, she did not expose them and casually made something up. "We were talking about Sister Xue'er. A god-level Six-winged Angel Martial Soul has appeared. Even the reclusive Gu Yue Family has heard of it."

Thinking of how Gu Yuena had been Leng Yao Zhu's disciple in the original story, Qian Gu Huang Yu had never expected that, because of the butterfly effect she had caused, the two would become senior and junior sisters instead. What a strange twist of fate.

Leng Yulai eagerly leaned in with a gossiping expression and joined the conversation. "Junior Sister, what do you think of Qian Xue?"

Since Leng Yulai and Qian Gu Huang Yu were the youngest among them, and Qian Gu Huang Yu had never called her Sister, Leng Yulai unusually put on the airs of an elder sister in front of the newly inducted Gu Yuena.

Before Gu Yuena could answer, Qian Gu Huang Yu pressed her index finger against Leng Yulai's forehead, stopping her from moving closer. With a mischievous smile, she said, "Xiao Leng, Gu Yue is the same age as us—eight. She might not even be younger than you."

For some reason, Qian Gu Huang Yu still liked calling Gu Yuena Gu Yue.

Gu Yuena did not seem to mind at all. "It's fine. I only just became Master's disciple, after all. There's an order to these things."

Then, facing Leng Yulai, Gu Yuena called out crisply, "Senior Sister."

Light flickered in Leng Yulai's pink eyes. She was clearly quite pleased by Gu Yuena calling her Senior Sister, and she complained to Qian Gu Huang Yu, "See? Gu Yue is so much better than you!"

While Qian Gu Huang Yu and the others were getting along wonderfully, Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng nearly got into a physical fight.

Even Qian Gu Huang Yu could not quite explain why the relationship between those two had always been so poor.

At first, Qian Gu Dong Feng had merely looked down on Qian Gu Qing Feng because his talent was lacking. Then, their relationship had gradually worsened.

Could it be because I played with Big Brother too much when I was little, so Brother got jealous? And then developed some weird competitive streak?

Heavens bear witness, she had only been spreading her affection evenly while raising her family's favorability!

Young Miss Qian Gu Huang Yu had suddenly discovered the key point.

As the banquet began, dish after dish was brought out. Yet both Di Tian and Gu Yuena's expressions became extremely subtle.

Leng Yang Jun introduced the dishes to Di Tian. "Brother Gu Yue, the ingredient for this braised earth dragon meat is a Thousand-Year Jade Water Crocodile Dragon. Its dragon bloodline may not be pure, but among earth dragons, it is still considered a fine specimen."

Qian Gu Die Ting pointed at a pot carved with exquisite patterns. "Inside is Jade Swan soup. The Jade Swan is a lesser offshoot of the Emerald Swan, and its flavor is exceptionally delicious. Food made from its meat can replenish one's vitality."

Even after tens of thousands of years of development, dishes made from soul beasts remained the highest-class cuisine for soul masters. Especially in this era, when soul beasts were nearly extinct, every soul beast was extraordinarily precious. Land-dwelling soul beasts were treasures among treasures.

Qian Gu Huang Yu roughly counted them. To make this single table of food, they had slaughtered at least five Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Moreover, the portions of a soul beast suitable for cooking were limited, so many hundred-year soul beasts were needed as side dishes as well.

To Qian Gu Die Ting and Leng Yang Jun, this was a display of their sincerity. Even the Tower Master and Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda usually consumed Heavenly Treasures rather than soul beasts themselves. This table of dishes truly showed utmost sincerity.

But to Gu Yuena and Di Tian, this was nothing short of dancing through a minefield.

Of course, since Gu Yuena and Di Tian had dared to come to the human world, they had already prepared themselves mentally. It was simply hard to accept being asked to eat their own people the moment they arrived.

Just as Gu Yuena hesitated, Qian Gu Huang Yu placed a golden, crispy roasted rabbit leg into her bowl. "Try this. Roasted Soft Bone Bewitching Rabbit leg."

Her hesitation interrupted, Gu Yuena immediately came back to herself. Remembering how a certain rabbit spirit from Twenty Thousand Years Ago had ascended to the God Realm and never thought about soul beasts again, she picked up the Soft Bone Bewitching Rabbit leg and took a fierce bite.

The tender, juicy rabbit meat burst across her tongue. The sweetness of honey blended perfectly with the fragrance of spices, creating a unique flavor. Gu Yuena closed her eyes and savored the wonderful experience, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"It tastes pretty good." As she spoke, Gu Yuena subconsciously offered the rabbit leg to Qian Gu Huang Yu. "Do you want some?"

Only then did Gu Yuena belatedly remember that sharing food was normal among soul beasts, but humans seemed to call this an indirect kiss. Just as she wanted to pull it back, how could there still be time?

Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately leaned over and took a bite from the Soft Bone Bewitching Rabbit leg.

Gu Yuena sharply noticed that Qian Gu Huang Yu seemed to have bitten the very spot she had just bitten. A faint blush rose to her cheeks.

Gu Yuena shyly turned her head away, then secretly peeked at Qian Gu Huang Yu from the corner of her eye.

Her thin lips looked soft and alluring, while her wine-red eyes seemed to contain endless mystery. Just as Gu Yuena was secretly studying Qian Gu Huang Yu, Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly leaned closer.

"!!!"

Gu Yuena panicked, yet did not dare flee outright. She could only watch as Qian Gu Huang Yu drew nearer and nearer.

In the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu gently wiped away a bit of food from the corner of Gu Yuena's mouth. "You had something by your mouth. I just wiped it off for you."

Gu Yuena looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu with mixed feelings, unable to tell whether she felt relieved or disappointed.

She's a beastkin from another plane, after all. Maybe it's just because of the customs where she came from...

"Wow, an indirect kiss!" Leng Yulai cried out as she watched the intimate interaction between Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yuena.

"Don't make a fuss. We're both girls, so what does it matter?" Qian Gu Huang Yu was entirely unconcerned.

Gu Yuena, however, came back to her senses and thought, Mm, we're both girls. It's perfectly normal.

While the children were all getting along in their own ways, the adults were not idle either.

After listening to Qian Gu Die Ting introduce the Dark Silver Bear paw, Di Tian could not help recalling a foolish bear that was always provoking him. He viciously took several bites.

Seeing that the mood was right, Qian Gu Die Ting looked at Di Tian, seeming as though he wanted to speak but hesitated, then hesitated yet wanted to speak.

Di Tian naturally noticed something was amiss and asked, "Tower Master Qian Gu, is there something you wish to say?"

"Ah..." Qian Gu Die Ting let out a long sigh. The joy from before was instantly replaced by sorrow. "Once you enter the Spirit Pagoda, we are family. I will not hide it from you, Brother Gu Yue. Though my daughter's Martial Soul underwent a beneficial mutation, you know that the Qian Gu Family's inherited Martial Soul is the Coiled Dragon Staff. We know very little about cultivation materials for a True Dragon Martial Soul!"

Leng Yang Jun nearly sprayed out his wine. The Spirit Pagoda had a history of ten thousand years, yet as Tower Master, he could not find even a single cultivation record for a True Dragon Martial Soul? And wasn't the old lady herself a living Lightning True Dragon Martial Soul? Wasn't she a living reference?
