Gu Yuena looked at the unconscious Qian Ren Shang in her arms, her expression somewhat complicated.
This... this was the person she had been searching for? Why did he possess the Golden Dragon King bloodline—and why was he a human?!
Most importantly, he was only a three-year-old child!
"What exactly is going on? Why has the Golden Dragon King bloodline appeared in this human child...?"
Gu Yuena's face was full of confusion, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Even with her experience, she could not make sense of the situation before her.
And besides...
Thinking back to what had just happened, Gu Yuena still felt a lingering fear. It was also the first time she had seen such a young child unleash such a powerful will to fight.
This was not merely because of the Golden Dragon King bloodline. It was a display of his fighting talent.
Just as Gu Yuena stood there lost in thought, sharp gusts tore through the air.
Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by fierce, surging auras, several black shadows flashed past and appeared before Gu Yuena.
"Master!"
It was Di Tian and the others, who had rushed after Gu Yuena. Each of them released a savage aura as they warily scanned their surroundings.
"Master... what happened? You rushed here in such a hurry without even saying a word!"
"Did a human powerhouse invade?"
"Wait... Master, why are you holding a child?"
The Beast Kings were all dumbfounded. How long had it been? Why was Gu Yuena suddenly holding a child?
The Beast Kings stared at one another, momentarily unsure how to speak.
Meanwhile, the Wind Baboon had first watched Gu Yuena descend like a goddess, and now several equally terrifying, overwhelmingly powerful Beast Kings had arrived.
It was instantly stupefied.
Had they broken some kind of heavenly rule? They had merely attacked a human child—how had that drawn these people out?
They were so dead!
At that moment, a stunning beauty in a green dress suddenly stepped out from the crowd. Her features were exceedingly gentle, and her entire body radiated the aura of life.
Her name was Bi Ji, the wife of Beast God Di Tian.
"Wow... what an adorable child. He seems to be seriously injured. Let me heal him."
The woman came to Gu Yuena's side and looked lovingly at Qian Ren Shang in her arms. As a member of the Emerald Swan clan, healing was what she excelled at most.
"Alright, heal him first."
Gu Yuena spoke as she moved to hand Qian Ren Shang over, but she froze the next moment. Though Qian Ren Shang was unconscious, for some reason, both his hands were gripping her arm tightly.
"Mom... hold Xiao Shang a little longer. Just a little longer."
Qian Ren Shang murmured softly, as though he were dreaming.
Mom?
At that form of address, several blushes immediately appeared on Gu Yuena's pretty face. She had never even been with a man—how could she possibly deserve that title?
"This brat..."
The corners of the Beast Kings' mouths twitched. What was with this child? How could he take advantage of their Master like this?
Yet the deep sorrow in his dream-muttering moved even the Beast Kings. What exactly had this child dreamed of?
Di Tian, who was most loyal to Gu Yuena, stepped forward with a cold face, intending to forcibly take Qian Ren Shang away. But Gu Yuena stopped him.
"Wait... let him hold on."
Gu Yuena's cheeks were flushed red, but seeing Qian Ren Shang's expression, she suddenly could not bear to do it.
"Treat him like this."
Gu Yuena looked toward Bi Ji. The latter nodded, then reached out and placed a hand on Qian Ren Shang's forehead.
The next moment, a green mark appeared on Bi Ji's forehead. At the same time, a green mark appeared on Qian Ren Shang's head, radiating a soft green glow.
A vast vitality began to fill the area. The powerful life force even caused the surrounding plants to grow rapidly.
Qian Ren Shang's complexion also became rosy at a visible rate. It seemed the treatment was indeed quite effective for him.
He even let out a comfortable burp.
Bi Ji could not help but laugh at the sight. This child was simply too adorable. Yet at the same time, she was shocked.
"This child's life force is so powerful... and his life level is actually even a little higher than mine. What is going on?"
After all, she was an Emerald Swan!
She belonged to the very highest tier, not inferior even to some powerful dragon clans.
"What... this child's life level is higher than yours? How is that possible?"
"Bi Ji, could you have sensed it wrong?"
"I mean... doesn't that mean this child's life level is even higher than mine, Old Bear's?"
Xiong Jun was full of disbelief. How could some random child possibly possess a life level greater than his?
Only Di Tian voiced no opinion. From beginning to end, he remained unusually silent, his expression extremely grave.
"That's right... this child's life level is indeed higher than Bi Ji's—higher even than mine."
Just as the others were about to argue, Di Tian raised a hand and cut them off. His grave gaze turned toward Gu Yuena.
"Because this child carries the bloodline of Lord Golden Dragon King, doesn't he... Master?"
Boom!
The moment those words were spoken, the several Beast Kings present all felt as though someone had struck their minds with a hammer.
How was that possible?
They carefully sensed the blood Qian Ren Shang had left in the air, and immediately fell silent.
Gu Yuena, too, looked at Di Tian with a grim expression.
"That's right... he bears the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and it's extremely rich. In fact, its purity is not much lower than mine."
"But I can't understand why the Golden Dragon King bloodline would appear in a child."
Gu Yuena was completely baffled, but Di Tian beside her suddenly grew excited.
"Master, this is a heaven-sent opportunity... We originally sought to restore your strength so that you could lead us Spirit Beasts to rise again. Relying on your strength alone... while powerful, still carries some risk."
"But things are different now... The Golden Dragon King bloodline is actually here. As long as Master devours him... perhaps you can become the supreme Dragon God once more, just as in ancient times!"
"Take back the rights that rightfully belong to us Spirit Beasts!"
As the first Deity born at the dawn of the universe, the Dragon God had possessed incomparably formidable strength. Yet later, he had been split in two by the Asura God King, who used the Asura Sword.
The Silver Dragon King inherited the elemental powers, while the Golden Dragon King inherited the powerful physical strength.
This was a legend known to all of these powerful Spirit Beasts.
Now that the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King had gathered together, it meant that another Dragon God could be born into this world!
"Right... I nearly forgot about that. Hahaha... Heaven does not disappoint those who persevere. Who would have thought there'd be such an unexpected windfall?"
"Is this Heaven's compensation to us Spirit Beasts?"
"This is wonderful!"
Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demons King were beside themselves with excitement. They both looked toward Qian Ren Shang in Gu Yuena's arms, their expressions gradually turning greedy!
