Qian Ren Shang Swears to Protect Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena Suddenly Faints!

Qian Ren Shang Swears to Protect Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena Suddenly Faints!

Time flew by, and before they knew it, more than two months had passed.

To Qian Ren Shang, those two months had seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, yet many things had happened.

Over those two months, Qian Ren Shang gradually formed deep friendships with several Beast Kings. They spent many happy times together, and their relationships grew increasingly harmonious.

Di Tian and the others raised Qian Ren Shang as though they were raising a child.

During this time, Qian Ren Shang not only learned many things, but also gained true friendship.

Now, Qian Ren Shang had completely integrated into this big family and become an indispensable member of it.

He no longer seemed like that lonely wanderer. At last, he had true friends.

"Na Na, Older Sister... what are you going to teach me today? More of yesterday's combat techniques?"

Early that morning, Qian Ren Shang sought out Gu Yuena. Over this period, Gu Yuena had discovered that he possessed great talent in combat, and he also seemed to enjoy fighting.

So, Gu Yuena had been teaching him during this time, specifically Spear Technique.

"Fine. We'll continue with the previous lesson."

Gu Yuena wore a fitted white outfit that day, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, making her look especially sharp and capable. She tossed Qian Ren Shang a one-meter-long wooden stick.

Qian Ren Shang staggered slightly as he caught it.

"The essence of Spear Technique is actually very simple."

On an open grassy field, a gentle breeze swept through the lush green grass. Gu Yuena stood tall and graceful, a long spear in hand, looking heroic and valiant.

Qian Ren Shang stood before her, his eyes filled with curiosity and longing as he stared intently at the spear in Gu Yuena's hand.

Gu Yuena's expression was serious and focused. She said softly, "Child, the essence of Spear Technique lies in becoming one with your spear. The spear follows the heart, and the heart moves with the spear."

With that, Gu Yuena's figure flashed, and the spear in her hand moved like a dragon as she began to wield it.

Her movements were agile, and wherever the spear tip swept, the wind howled.

Every move balanced hardness and softness—possessing both the overwhelming force of thunder and the nimble beauty of drifting clouds.

As she demonstrated, Gu Yuena explained, "When thrusting, be fast, accurate, and ruthless. When retracting, be steady, smooth, and clever."

Her movements flowed like water, seamless and uninterrupted. They dazzled the eye, yet one could clearly sense the power and skill contained in every motion.

After finishing her demonstration, Gu Yuena stopped, her breathing calm and steady. Looking at the child, she said, "Your turn."

"Alright."

Qian Ren Shang took the spear and began practicing earnestly according to Gu Yuena's instructions.

Every move looked quite convincing.

Qian Ren Shang learned extremely quickly. He had extraordinary talent for Spear Technique.

Watching Qian Ren Shang practice with such a serious expression, Gu Yuena could not help but curl her lips slightly.

For some reason, this child loved practicing combat techniques and seemed almost tireless.

Why did he want to become so skilled? Could he have some purpose?

"Qian Ren Shang... why are you practicing Spear Technique so seriously?"

Gu Yuena asked directly as Qian Ren Shang continued practicing with the wooden stick.

"Because I want to protect someone!"

"Protect someone? Who?"

Gu Yuena asked curiously. Qian Ren Shang thrust forward, then turned to look at Gu Yuena with a resolute expression.

"I want to protect you, Na Na, Older Sister!"

"Protect me?"

Gu Yuena was clearly taken aback. "Why?"

"Because Na Na, Older Sister is very, very good to me. So I want to protect Na Na, Older Sister, just like how you protected me back then."

"I won't let anyone hurt you! Not unless they step over my dead body!"

Qian Ren Shang's face was filled with sincerity as he said this. It looked somewhat out of place against his still-childish features, and his burning gaze remained fixed on Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena froze where she stood upon hearing those words, simply looking at Qian Ren Shang. A strange feeling suddenly rose within her, one she could not put into words.

To be honest, this was the first time Gu Yuena had ever heard someone speak to her like this.

What she usually heard were words of responsibility and duty.

As the Silver Dragon King and Master of the Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena had to strive for the future of all soul beasts. She had to shield every soul beast from the storms. She could neither cry out in exhaustion nor show weakness.

But in truth, she could grow tired too. Throughout her long life, no one had ever cried out that they wanted to protect her.

But now, there was someone.

Though he was only a three-year-old child.

He was so earnest, yet so weak. His strength was so feeble that he could not even defeat some low-level soul beasts.

Yet for some reason, Gu Yuena found herself believing this child's words.

"I'll remember what you said."

She broke into a smile, then picked up the spear.

"Come on, let's keep practicing!"

Gu Yuena continued demonstrating the profound principles of Spear Technique to Qian Ren Shang. This practice session lasted several more hours, yet Qian Ren Shang never complained of being tired.

However, Gu Yuena's complexion gradually turned pale, and even the speed at which she wielded her spear slowed considerably. Still, Gu Yuena paid it no mind, believing she simply had not rested well enough.

But another half hour later...

Gu Yuena lost her balance while swinging her spear and fell straight to the ground.

"Na Na, Older Sister!"

Qian Ren Shang's expression changed drastically. He immediately rushed over and lifted Gu Yuena's head into his arms.

"Na Na, Older Sister, what's wrong?"

Gu Yuena had actually fallen unconscious. Her face was terribly pale, even carrying a sickly hue.

The commotion immediately drew the attention of the other Beast Kings in the area.

Figures flashed over like lightning, arriving before Qian Ren Shang in an instant.

"Master!"

"Damn it, what happened?"

Di Tian and the others were horrified. Clearly, none of them had expected this to happen.

"Bi Ji... hurry and treat Master."

"Alright!"

Bi Ji immediately placed both hands upon Gu Yuena's forehead and began channeling Soul Power. Flecks of green light lit up, a manifestation of immensely powerful life force.

Bi Ji's face turned pale at a visible rate.

Di Tian and the others were extremely anxious. Gu Yuena was the hope of all Spirit Beasts. If anything happened to her, they truly could not imagine the consequences.

"What exactly happened to Na Na, Older Sister? Is she sick? Uncle Di Tian, Aunt Bi Ji..."

Qian Ren Shang stood nearby in a panic, on the verge of tears.

After a long while, Gu Yuena's complexion finally improved slightly. Bi Ji spoke with a grave expression.

"Take Master to the very center of the Lake of Life. The concentration of life force is higher there."

"And..."

Bi Ji gave Qian Ren Shang a complicated look before turning toward Di Tian.

"Di Tian, Xiong Jun... and Ten Thousand Demons King, you three come with me. Zi Ji and Qian Ren Shang will look after Master."

Though everyone was confused, they still followed Bi Ji's instructions. Among all the Beast Kings, Bi Ji was undoubtedly the most reliable one.

Looking at Gu Yuena's pale, lovely face, Qian Ren Shang felt a wave of panic seize his heart.
