Gu Yuena Decides to Adopt Qian Ren Shang, Di Tian and Xiong Jun Are Shocked!

"Are you talking about the strange bloodline in my body?"

Qian Ren Shang had not expected these people to ask about that first. His little eyes looked around.

A lake brimming with life force, countless towering trees radiating vigorous vitality, and these "people" whose strength he could not fathom.

Qian Ren Shang roughly understood. He knew that the Star Dou Great Forest had a Core Circle, where there was an enormous Lake of Life.

It was the dwelling place of those truly ferocious Beast Kings!

So... were these people powerful Spirit Beasts?

(Note: The protagonist only knows the plot of Soul Land 1!)

"Where exactly did your bloodline come from... Tell me now!"

Gu Yuena's purple eyes gleamed faintly. Qian Ren Shang took a deep breath and decided to lie.

"My bloodline power was something I had from birth... I don't know where it came from either."

The System's existence definitely could not be exposed.

"And then... I came to the Star Dou Great Forest alone. No one else came with me."

"You're lying. How could a child like you have come to our Star Dou Great Forest by yourself? The nearest human settlement is dozens of li away from here. Why would a child like you come here for no reason?"

Xiong Jun frowned as he spoke in a deep voice. He felt that he had found the flaw, his face full of smug satisfaction.

Qian Ren Shang's eyes dimmed somewhat.

"Because... I ran away from home. I didn't want to stay with them anymore. I was an unnecessary existence. I would only disturb their happiness."

As Qian Ren Shang said this, his eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

"After I left... Mom and Sister should be living happily, right?"

Qian Ren Shang gave a bitter smile. Bi Ji looked at him with a face full of heartache. This child seemed to have a story.

Gu Yuena's expression softened as well.

"You mean your mother abandoned you?... How is that possible? Maternal love is the greatest love in this world. No mother would fail to love her own child."

"Even Spirit Beasts with incomplete intelligence know to protect their young... That is the most basic bottom line."

"Haha... Pretty Sister is right. Maternal love really is so great... That's why I long for it, but it isn't something I can have. I don't deserve it..."

Qian Ren Shang laughed bitterly and began telling Gu Yuena about what he had experienced.

Qian Ren Shang was deeply aggrieved, but he could not find anyone to confide in. Before these strangers who had saved his life, he was willing to open his heart for once.

Once he started, he spoke for more than two hours.

Qian Ren Shang told them how Bibi Dong had nearly killed him right after he was born, and how, despite all the efforts he made afterward, Bibi Dong still did not appreciate them. Not only did she target him herself, she even had his sister, Qian Ren Xue, target him as well.

On his birthday, he had happily prepared for the occasion... yet no one cared.

Of course, Bibi Dong did not reveal Bibi Dong's true identity as someone from Spirit Hall.

Two and a half hours later.

After hearing Qian Ren Shang's story, everyone present fell silent.

Tragic! Tragic! Too tragic!

How could there be such a vicious mother in this world? Treating her own child like that was simply too cruel!

"Wuwu... That woman went too far! How could she impose her hatred on a child? The child is innocent!"

Zi Ji had even cried from listening. How could there be such a pitiful child in this world? She began to sympathize with Qian Ren Shang.

"Sigh... What a sin. What a sin."

Bi Ji also looked at Qian Ren Shang with a face full of motherly affection.

"Come... Let Auntie hold you. What a pitiful child."

Di Tian also rarely showed an expression of indignation.

"How could there be such an irresponsible mother in this world... She is worse than us Spirit Beasts. Even a vicious tiger does not eat its cubs!"

Ten Thousand Demons King also voiced his righteous indignation.

"Damn it... I can't take this anymore. Kid, where is your home? I'll go avenge you!"

All these Beast Kings had been moved, including Xiong Jun, who had just snapped at Qian Ren Shang.

His face was filled with regret.

"I really deserve to die... How could I have spoken to this child like that just now?"

Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and the others all shot him murderous looks.

"Ahem... This old bear didn't know just now. You can't blame me for that, right?"

Xiong Jun awkwardly scratched his head, then looked at Qian Ren Shang.

"Kid... sorry about that. This old bear doesn't know how to talk. Don't take it to heart."

"It's okay..."

Qian Ren Shang wiped away his tears and smiled gently.

Drip. Drip.

At that moment, Qian Ren Shang suddenly froze. He realized his face was wet, and when he looked up in shock—

The girl holding him was crying.

Gu Yuena's eyes were red, and even her aura had become somewhat unstable.

"That's too much... too much. That woman didn't want you, did she? Fine, fine... then I'll take you."

With reddened eyes, Gu Yuena spoke with complete seriousness.

"From today onward, you'll live here. You can treat this place as your home!"

After hearing Qian Ren Shang's story, it was truly difficult not to be moved. Even Beast God Di Tian had shown that expression, let alone Gu Yuena.

Although she was the Silver Dragon King and had existed even longer than Di Tian, she had not been awake for very long. Strictly speaking, her mental maturity was not particularly high either.

That was why Qian Ren Shang's story moved her so deeply!

The moment Di Tian and the others heard this, their expressions turned awkward. After all, they had not forgotten that this child possessed the Golden Dragon King bloodline.

Logically speaking, Gu Yuena was supposed to devour this child eventually.

But... things had already been said this far, and judging by Master's state, she was clearly carried away by emotion. It was probably too late to persuade her now.

So Di Tian fell silent, and the other Beast Kings fell silent as well.

Only Bi Ji and Zi Ji looked utterly delighted. The maternal love of those two had completely overflowed.

"I... I can stay here?"

Qian Ren Shang's little face crumpled as tears streamed down. He had never expected anyone to be willing to take him in.

So... even a child like him could be wanted?

"Thank you... thank you. I can work. I won't be a burden."

Qian Ren Shang sobbed as he wiped his tears, but just as he wanted to continue expressing his gratitude, the next moment—

Grrrmmmble!

His stomach suddenly rumbled like muffled thunder.

Di Tian and the others could not help but laugh at the sight.

"Haha... this kid is too interesting."

"How loud was that? Just how hungry is he?"

Qian Ren Shang felt a little embarrassed, his cheeks flushing at once. But he really was hungry. He felt like he could eat an entire cow right now!

"You're hungry..."

Gu Yuena let out a soft laugh, then frowned slightly as she began to think.

What did hungry children usually eat again?

Milk... hungry children were supposed to drink milk, right?

Gu Yuena thought to herself. She glanced at her still-developing figure. She definitely could not do that right now.

So...

Her gaze soon settled on Zi Ji and Bi Ji, and the corners of Gu Yuena's lips lifted slightly.

The instant Zi Ji and Bi Ji saw Gu Yuena's ill-intentioned gaze, a chill ran down their spines.
