Days later, Bai Mo and Gu Yuena arrived at Sunset Forest together.

Of course, Di Tian and Little Black Tower were secretly following them.

"What a dense poisonous miasma!"

Gu Yuena frowned. She couldn't shake the feeling that something about this place was strange, as if something were calling to her bloodline.

"That's easy!"

Bai Mo snapped his fingers and took two black bodysuits out of his storage space.

"These were developed by Ms. Herta. Put one on, and you won't be harmed by the poison. I imagine Senior Di Long isn't afraid of this poisonous miasma either!"

Bai Mo called out loudly.

"Of course!"

Di Tian's low voice came from somewhere nearby, though he remained unseen.

"There's no need, Bai Mo. Take my hand. My Martial Soul isn't afraid of the poison here!"

Gu Yuena shook her head and reached out her delicate hand to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo couldn't be bothered to ask why Gu Yuena's gun-shaped Martial Soul could make her immune to poison. He simply took the hand she offered.

"Hmph!"

Neither of them paid any attention to Di Tian's voice from above. Holding hands, they walked into the poisonous miasma together.

Bai Mo used his Martial Soul to recklessly gather information about the place.

Gu Yuena, meanwhile, paid no attention to what Bai Mo was doing. She could feel it—it was right up ahead! The aura of a Dragon King!

Gu Yuena's breathing grew heavy. Her mind was in complete disarray. She hadn't imagined that the place Bai Mo brought her to would have something to do with a Dragon King.

The hand Bai Mo had wrapped around Gu Yuena's little hand tightened.

"Is it too much for you? Should we put on the suits after all?"

"Thank you, I'm fine. I'm just a little uneasy about this place."

Gu Yuena glanced at Bai Mo twice, then looked away. Secretly, she also sent a message to Di Tian.

Bai Mo said nothing more. Following the directions Ms. Herta had given him, he headed toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Along the way, they could see Soul Beast bones scattered here and there.

Bai Mo could feel Gu Yuena gripping his hand more and more tightly.

Boom~

A powerful rumble came from the distance.

Even the poisonous miasma was thrown into disarray by the shock wave.

Bai Mo shielded Gu Yuena behind him. A fox mask appeared in his hand, its colors far more vivid than the ones Snow Empress and Ice Empress had used before.

"Careful. Something may have happened at our destination!"

Gu Yuena stared at Bai Mo's back, momentarily lost in thought.

"By the way, where's Senior Di Long? Tell him to block this! The miasma's so stirred up, we can't tell which way is which!"

"Um, Di Tian said he could see our destination ahead, so he went to scout it out first..."

Gu Yuena spoke awkwardly. Bai Mo had brought them along to hunt for treasure, yet she'd secretly sent Di Tian ahead to investigate. It did seem a little...

"That's ridiculous! He's a grown man!"

Bai Mo harshly criticized Di Tian, though he knew full well that the idea had probably come from Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena's toes curled in embarrassment. She was just about to say something when her expression suddenly changed.

"He's here—the Sea God you mentioned!"

Herta's voice sounded in Bai Mo's mind at just the right moment.

"With Gu Yuena and the souls of the two Dragon Kings here, he probably won't be able to kill Di Tian, but Di Tian's in for a rough time."

Bai Mo chuckled to himself.

"Bai Mo, my uncle sent a message. It's dangerous up ahead. We have to hurry!"

Gu Yuena anxiously grabbed Bai Mo and ran forward. If Di Tian died right before her eyes, she might as well stop being the Silver Dragon King and just marry Bai Mo instead!

"What! Then let's hurry! Good thing Celestial Lord Changle left me a trump card in advance!"

Bai Mo echoed Gu Yuena in shock.

You really were something! What astonishing wisdom, Silver Dragon King! Who'd ever heard of a Soul Grandmaster rushing into a Titled Douluo's battlefield? And I still had to come up with an excuse for you!

The two hurried toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Not long after, they arrived to find a black dragon sprawled on the ground, bleeding and nearly dead.

In the sky, three Divine Senses—one red and two blue—were locked in battle.

Below them, a group of Immortal Herbs watched the fight.

"Huff, huff... Gu Yuena... we made it. Where's Senior Di Long?"

Bai Mo panted as he reached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then anxiously asked Gu Yuena, who wasn't even out of breath.

"Um..."

Gu Yuena rubbed her head.

"Maybe he ran ahead?"

"Are you kidding me?! Is your uncle an animal? He called two little nobodies like us over, then snuck off by himself?"

"Haha... maybe he..."

Think, stupid brain, think! Gu Yuena gave an awkward laugh, unable to come up with an explanation. It wasn't as if she could tell him that the dragon lying on the ground was Di Tian.

"Heh! Just as I expected! That hammer that appeared at Shrek was connected to you too, Silver Dragon King!"

The blue, human-shaped Divine Sense in the sky spoke with authority.

Gu Yuena's little face stiffened. She felt as if she might explode on the spot.

"What are you talking about? Shrek offended my Fairy Boat, so it was punished by the gods of my Fairy Boat! What does any of this have to do with your damn Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King?"

Bai Mo pulled Gu Yuena behind him and openly declared his position to Tang San in the sky.

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Mo. Although this really had nothing to do with her as the Silver Dragon King, she was still deeply touched by the way Bai Mo had pulled her behind him.

"Foolish child, you have no idea what you're talking about!"

Tang San shook his head. With the two old dragons and the Silver Dragon King here, he clearly had no chance of winning. But that child had mentioned the Golden Dragon King. Could it be that the one plotting against him wasn't just the Silver Dragon King?

Of course! The one the Dragon God hated most was Asura God. It made sense, then, that the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King had joined forces to set a trap for him!

So be it! Now that he knew what the two dragons were plotting, he would find a way to deal with them later. He'd originally planned to use the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to train the child of destiny, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible now.

Tang San's Divine Sense gave the Silver Dragon King, hiding behind Bai Mo, a long look. After leaving them with one final remark, he slowly vanished.

"Silver Dragon King, your move was indeed ingenious. Unfortunately, my astonishing wisdom has already seen through your scheme. I'll concede this time, but you won't get another chance!"

Huh? Gu Yuena stared at the fading Sea God's Divine Sense, completely baffled. She could only think that the Sea God seemed like an idiot.

Seeing this, the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls in the sky also let go of their obsession. They had been able to fight Tang San purely because they were determined to protect their descendants. Now that their obsession had faded, the last remnants of their souls dissipated as well.

A flash of purple light appeared around Bai Mo, and the level-70 Little Black Tower appeared beside him.

Grief-stricken, Gu Yuena knelt on one knee. She glanced at Little Black Tower but paid no further attention to her, staring blankly in the direction where the two dragons had vanished.

She didn't notice that the instant Little Black Tower appeared, Bai Mo had also slipped the two dragon souls—now stripped of everything but their quality and entirely powerless—into his True Number Space.

Bai Mo patted Gu Yuena, who was still in a daze, and gently helped her to her feet. Then he leaned close and whispered in her ear:

"Your uncle does have a few screws loose, but there's no need to be this sad! Think of something happy! Now that the god guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has left, the Immortal Herbs, the treasure site, and the top-grade ingredients lying on the ground are all ours!"
