Gu Yuena's Misunderstanding

Lin Hai didn't respond to her comment, but simply gazed at her with a smile.

The next moment, he naturally took a step forward, opened his arms, and gently embraced Bi Ji, who was holding Er Mao.

His chin rested gently on her hair, which exuded a faint fragrance, and his voice was deep and gentle. "It's been a long time, Bi Ji."

The chubby goose, Er Mao, was squeezed between the two, squawking loudly, its little wings flapping incessantly, its round eyes filled with innocence and grievance, as if protesting this undeserved misfortune.

Lin Hai's sudden attack caught Bi Ji off guard, and two blushes quietly rose on her beautiful face, like white jade glowing.

After regaining her senses, she gently pushed Lin Hai away, her actions seemingly reproachful, yet full of tenderness.

While comforting Er Mao, she slightly turned her head and lightly spat:

"He's been gone for over three years, and he's still as irresponsible as ever when he comes back."

Before Lin Hai could answer, she quickly turned around, adjusted her breathing, and tried to keep her voice calm as she said:

"The lord said that if you have nothing else to do, you should go see her as soon as possible."

After saying that, she left with slightly hurried steps, her skirt trailing on the ground, lacking her usual composure.

"Nothing wrong?" Lin Hai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously touched his nose. What could possibly happen to him here?

After a moment's thought, I understood.

Gu Yuena must be worried about what he mentioned in his previous letter: being noticed by the two great god-kings.

To be honest, the subsequent developments of this matter were indeed beyond his expectations, and the reversal came extremely quickly.

Having figured this out, he didn't linger any longer, straightened his robes, and quickly followed.

Outside the cave, Lin Hai encountered a group of Ferocious Beast led by Di Tian.

They were no different from a few years ago, except that Di Tian and Xiong Jun were standing further apart, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was stronger than before.

Zi JI's Charm purple eyes fell on Lin Hai, and she subconsciously stuck out her tongue and gently licked her full upper lip.

His gaze was intense, as if he were eyeing a mouthwatering delicacy, full of aggression.

"Hahaha~ Little Hai, you've finally decided to come back!" Xiong Jun's voice boomed as he strode forward first.

A huge, fan-like hand slammed down on Lin Hai's shoulder without warning, the force of which would have staggered even an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Lin Hai's lips twitched involuntarily, partly because this fool still didn't hold back, and the impact made his shoulder go numb.

Secondly, it's also because of this inappropriate and awkward name.

They forbid calling him Haizi, they forbid calling him Xiaolinzi, but this guy, he's gone and created an organic combination.

Just as he was about to lash out, he heard Xiong Jun's rough, booming voice:

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiong, I'll do what I promised you perfectly!"

'Both Bi Ji and Zi JI are doing well. That guy Di Tian tried to get close to them several times, but I thwarted him each time.'

The telepathic transmission paused slightly, tinged with just the right amount of grievance: 'I've taken a lot of beatings from that bastard because of this!'

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's gaze lingered for a moment on Xiong Jun's seemingly rugged yet cunning face, then swept over Di Tian, whose face had darkened, before his slight displeasure vanished instantly.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiong Jun and gave him a knowing look.

This guy is great!

He's rough around the edges but meticulous, and he's truly dedicated when needed—that's my Yide!

Lin Hai greeted Di Tian and the others briefly, and when his gaze turned to Zi JI, he winked imperceptibly, earning her a look that was almost drool-worthy.

He then turned and entered the deep cave without lingering, immediately using his Space Power to completely isolate the space inside and outside the cave.

"Your use of Spatial Means has become increasingly sophisticated; you've made considerable progress compared to a few years ago." Gu Yuena's ethereal voice came from the depths of the cave, carrying a very subtle tremor.

The long years, tens of thousands of years past, seem to have quietly slipped away after a few slumbers.

But ever since this man entered her Life, the three years apart have felt exceptionally long.

Fortunately, he still came!

Lin Hai looked in the direction of the sound, and what came into view was still that familiar scene.

A massive silver dragon coiled up, its snow-white head exuding nobility and majesty, its long, slender body covered in translucent scales that shimmered with a faint silver glow...

And that powerful dragon tail that had left a deep impression on him!

At that moment, Lin Hai almost instinctively raised his arms, crossing them in front of him to block, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Hey, Little Dragon Cub, it's been years since we last met, and you greet me with this real dragon form right off the bat?"

"Who knows if you'll attract those two God-Kings? I need to be prepared to face them at my strongest." Gu Yuena opened her dragon mouth slightly and spoke in a clear, human voice, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible reproach.

All I did was accidentally nudge him lightly with my tail back then, and this guy still holds a grudge.

Just as she was about to channel her Divine Power and transform into human form, she heard Lin Hai say:
