Gu Yuena's voice held not the slightest warmth.
"No need."
"I am his wife."
"If revenge is needed, then I should be the one to take it."
As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible chill instantly enveloped Qian Renxue.
She was, after all, a Level 60+ Soul Emperor, yet under Gu Yuena's gaze, every hair on her body stood on end. A chill shot straight from the soles of her feet to the Crown of the Head.
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, only to find that her throat seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. She could not force out a single word.
She had no doubt that if she insisted on "taking revenge," the seemingly delicate maiden before her would strike without hesitation.
In the end, she could only squeeze out a sentence through clenched teeth.
"Then... all right. If you need anything, I will certainly help with all my strength."
But the next second, that suffocating pressure suddenly vanished.
The expression on Gu Yuena's face returned to its usual gentleness. She reached out with slender fingers and lightly smoothed the golden hair on Qian Renxue's forehead that the wind had tousled.
"Are you all right? I was a little rough when I dragged you just now. I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Her concerned tone made everything that had just happened seem like an illusion.
Qian Renxue froze.
She even began to wonder whether that bone-deep chill had merely been a delusion born from surviving disaster.
She could not help but sigh inwardly.
Chen Fan and Na'er really were both wonderful people.
Since Na'er wanted to personally avenge Chen Fan, then Qian Renxue would simply assist her properly from the side.
A thought quietly rose from the depths of her heart.
If only there were someone by my side like Chen Fan, someone who would protect me without regard for his own safety in a crisis... How wonderful would that be?
The instant the thought arose, Qian Renxue's body suddenly trembled. Another chill swept through her entire body without warning.
Yet the sensation came quickly and left just as quickly. She assumed it was simply the night wind in the forest and did not think much of it.
What she did not notice was Gu Yuena silently staring at her retreating figure.
She Xue'er...
Do not even think about touching my Chen Fan.
I will always be watching you. I will always be watching you. I will always be watching you. I will always be watching you...
Meanwhile.
Within the Spiritual Power Field of the forest's core area.
Chen Fan and the enormous white ice silkworm were still locked in confrontation.
"I'm starting." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's grand voice rang out in Chen Fan's mind.
"Come on."
Chen Fan answered calmly, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, preparing to receive this Million Year Soul Ring.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not begin immediately. Its vast Spiritual Power stirred slightly.
An invisible mental message quietly spread out, crossing a vast distance and accurately entering Gu Yuena's mind.
Before doing anything, report to the boss first. That was this brother's way of surviving.
After doing all this, in order to make this act seem more convincing.
A Spiritual Impact even more terrifying than before suddenly erupted from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body!
That power condensed into an invisible ripple, ignoring the barriers of space and instantly locking onto Qian Renxue far away in the forest's Outer Area.
"Ugh!"
Qian Renxue, who had only just steadied herself, felt as if her brain had been struck viciously by a heavy hammer. Her vision went black, and before she could even groan, she crumpled limply to the ground.
Watching Qian Renxue collapse, not a ripple stirred in Gu Yuena's Purple Eyes.
She did not spare her another glance.
The next instant, her figure flashed, transforming into a Silver Stream as she sped toward the forest's core.
The surrounding air still carried traces of that immense Spiritual Power fluctuation, which could draw the attention of covetous Soul Beasts.
She Xue'er might not be safe.
But Gu Yuena could no longer worry about that.
Chen Fan was what mattered most.
At the core of the Spiritual Power Field.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous body was slowly dissipating, transforming into a vast torrent of pure white energy like a river and sea, surging straight toward the cross-legged Chen Fan.
The moment the energy touched Chen Fan's body, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ecstatic consciousness exploded in his mind.
"HAHAHA! I struck it rich! I hit the jackpot!!!"
This spiritual energy rushed through Chen Fan's Meridians and directly toward his Martial Soul.
At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's wild joy abruptly came to a halt.
It sensed it.
When its origin energy touched the Martial Soul known as the Candle Dragon Shadow, a tremor from the deepest depths of its soul nearly caused it to collapse on the spot!
It was an absolute suppression of rank!
A difference in the level of life as vast as heaven and earth!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's consciousness went blank.
The rank of this Martial Soul... why does it seem even higher than Master's?!
The moment that thought emerged, it instantly understood everything.
No wonder!
No wonder Master had willingly Transformed into Human and stayed by his side all this time!
So that was it!
It had previously thought that sacrificing itself was not a loss!
But now, it seemed—
It had simply won beyond measure!
For an opportunity like this, to follow a Supreme Being, let alone it, even those lofty Fierce Beasts would fight until their heads bled for it!
Without another moment of hesitation.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm accelerated the infusion of energy, offering everything it had without reservation.
At that very moment, a figure silently descended. It was Gu Yuena.
Her expression solemn, she immediately stood guard over Chen Fan.
But when the fusion was only halfway complete, she sensed that something was wrong.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power was far too vast, and this had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. It had not spent a long time planning and preparing as in the novels Chen Fan had read in his Previous Life.
Chen Fan's body clearly could not completely withstand its immense power in such a short time.
He was bound to suffer somewhat.
His face had already turned pale, the Veins on his forehead bulged, and his body trembled faintly beyond his control.
A trace of heartache flashed across Gu Yuena's face.
Without the slightest hesitation, following the deepest instinct within her body, she raised one of her slender, fair fingers to her lips. Her pearly teeth parted.
Her fingertip was bitten open.
A drop of blood essence flickering with faint Silver Radiance was flicked from her finger, accurately merging into the torrent of pure white energy.
"Hiss—"
The instant the blood essence merged with it, it was like Boiling Oil Splashing Water, instantly boiling away.
Countless silver Air Waves surged up, completely enveloping Chen Fan's body.
Within those Air Waves, the outline of the majestic Candle Dragon Shadow Martial Soul behind Chen Fan also began to slowly circulate with strands of mysterious Silver Glow.
That drop of silver Origin Blood Essence exhausted the last of Gu Yuena's strength.
After doing all this, she could no longer hold on.
Thud.
Her delicate body went limp, and she fell to one knee. Her incomparably beautiful face was deathly pale, without the slightest trace of color.
Yet her gaze remained fixed on Chen Fan without shifting for even an instant.
Before her eyes, Chen Fan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the trembling of his body gradually subsided. The energy that had originally been violent and chaotic was now as docile as a lamb.
Seeing this, a satisfied yet weak smile spread across Gu Yuena's lips. The tenderness in her Purple Eyes was almost melting.
As long as he is all right.
