Ice and Fire Dragon Soul

Sunset Forest.

Su Xuan looked at Gu Yuena lying across his lap and rubbed his temples. Forget it. There was no point thinking about troubling matters—they would not get any better no matter how much he thought about them.

"Ughh~"

Enjoying the present was what mattered most right now. Su Xuan stretched lazily and let out a comfortable hum. Not bad.

Emma walked up to Su Xuan and said softly:

"Dinner's ready."

Su Xuan nodded to show that he understood. Emma turned and left to set the table.

Su Xuan pinched Gu Yuena's little cheek and said gently:

"Na'er, get up. Time to eat."

"Mmm..."

Gu Yuena rubbed her large violet eyes.

"It's... time to eat already?"

Su Xuan nodded.

"You've been asleep for nearly an hour. Emma has already finished cooking."

"Mmm, I haven't rested enough yet."

Su Xuan gave a wry smile. Damn it.

"Then sleep a little longer? We'll save some for you?"

"Forget it. I'll eat first."

Gu Yuena reluctantly opened her eyes, reluctantly pushed herself up, and trudged toward the dining table with great difficulty.

Su Xuan hurried over, intending to support Gu Yuena. But the moment he stood up, he felt his legs had gone completely numb. He staggered and nearly fell over.

Damn, Na'er had slept on his lap for too long. His legs were numb.

But Su Xuan was still a powerhouse, and his physical reflexes and control were at the very peak. He quickly regained his balance and avoided the miserable sight of falling flat on his face.

Seeing this, Emma hurriedly put down what she was doing, ran over, supported Gu Yuena, and helped her to the table.

Su Xuan: "I &(..."

Sigh, he had raised an ungrateful little wolf.

Still, Su Xuan was a strong man who knew how to endure grief. He soon walked independently to the table and even served himself a bowl of rice.

Emma smiled playfully.

"Master, you can't blame me for that. You set it yourself: if my sister and I are both in danger and need help, save my sister first."

Su Xuan felt somewhat stifled. It did seem like he had set that rule himself, but it still felt unpleasant.

Gu Yuena snorted.

"Brother, you boring fool, stop sulking and eat."

Su Xuan felt aggrieved. If it were not for this little brat insisting on sleeping on his lap, who the hell would end up in a situation like this?

Gu Yuena saw Su Xuan's frustration and unhappiness. Somewhat shyly, she said:

"Don't be mad. Tonight, we can... you know..."

Su Xuan's eyes lit up, and he impatiently asked, "Is your body alright now?"

Gu Yuena said, "I've recovered more or less. Lasting through one night will definitely be no problem."

Su Xuan swallowed. He had endured for nearly a month and a half. God knew how he had managed it.

Actually, for Su Xuan, whether they did that sort of exercise or not did not really matter. The deadliest part was that Gu Yuena insisted on hugging him to sleep every night...

A soft, fragrant beauty with whom he had once shared wonderful spring nights was now in his arms—how could he possibly have the mind to sleep?

Besides, Gu Yuena was no longer the Bean Sprout she used to be. Though she had yet to fully develop, she already had the figure of a true young woman, beginning to take shape. What that meant for Su Xuan went without saying.

Emma silently shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Food in her heart, no men!

Emma had faint dark circles under her eyes today. That was all because someone had worked far too hard last night, leaving Lady Emma unable to get a proper rest.

At that time, Emma had just finished washing up and was cooking porridge, preparing breakfast for the three of them. Sigh, she really was so humble...

"Morning, Emma."

Su Xuan greeted Emma with a smile. He really wanted to ask whether she had slept well last night, but saying something that obnoxious was probably not a good idea.

Emma turned her head away, refusing to look at Su Xuan's smug, villainous expression. It was truly irritating.

Su Xuan rubbed his nose. Though he received no response, he did not take it to heart. In fact, if there was one person in this world who understood Su Xuan best, it was not Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, or Bibi Dong. The person who understood him best was Emma. She had followed Su Xuan in a role much like that of a secretary. She understood his way of handling affairs, his personality, every little habit, every preference, all his past experiences, and every relationship in his life. To Emma, none of it was a secret.

Therefore, Emma was also the person Su Xuan trusted most in this world. It was a mutual relationship.

Gu Yuena finished washing up and came to the table, ready for breakfast.

Breakfast was unusually lavish today. After all, Gu Yuena had worked hard last night and needed to replenish herself. Su Xuan, however, was not so fortunate. Emma had only left him a large plain steamed bun—an obvious case of unequal treatment. Still, Su Xuan endured it. After all, he had been at fault first...

After breakfast, Su Xuan led the two of them onward at high speed, continuing to follow the guidance of the Great Prophecy Technique.

Before long, after crossing layers of forest and lakes, as well as countless lairs of fierce beasts, Su Xuan finally arrived at the valley shrouded in poisonous miasma—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes and surveyed this treasured land.

There was nothing particularly unusual about it on the surface, but through the Dao Sect's divine eyes, he could see that the valley contained terrifying power—power that had unquestionably reached the level of a God King. Though it was not much stronger than that, it was still terrifying enough. Su Xuan silently drew a breath. Had the dragon race truly been this formidable?

"Na'er, is this the aura of your dragon race's Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?"

Su Xuan turned around, only to discover that Gu Yuena's eyes were already red and swollen. The sorrow originating from her bloodline had deeply affected this young Silver Dragon King.

It allowed her to feel the grief of that great battle from long ago, as well as its tragic grandeur.

Su Xuan quietly stopped and watched his little sister silently vent her emotions. It was an ancient sorrow, woven into her bloodline, leaving one melancholy.

Emma thoughtfully took out several tissues and wiped Gu Yuena's already swollen, reddened eyes.

The atmosphere gradually fell silent.

Still, Gu Yuena eventually recovered. She pointed ahead, signaling Su Xuan to go in.

Yet her violet eyes gradually grew resolute. I will avenge you.
