The little silver dragon raised her head in confusion and followed Bai Mo's gaze to Di Tian, who was sprawled on the ground with his tongue hanging out, pretending to be dead.

Gu Yuena: ...

Gu Yuena: "No way!"

Her shout startled Bai Mo.

"Uh? What do you mean?"

"Um, listen! You saw those two dragon souls in the sky just now, right? The red and blue ones!"

Gu Yuena's little brain whirred into action, and she quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.

"True!"

"So this treasure land must be connected to those two dragon souls! Which means we shouldn't kill any dragons here!"

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Mo earnestly.

Bai Mo was stunned.

"So that's how it is!"

"Good thing you came along. Making enemies of the dragon souls would've been a small problem, but them destroying the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would've been a big one!"

Gu Yuena's lips curved into a slight smile. Who could deny that Great King Gu Yue was brilliant?

Little Black Tower took out her hammer, intending to start harvesting the Immortal Herbs. She couldn't stand watching a child tease another child any longer.

After speaking, Bai Mo walked over to Di Tian.

Sensing a living being approach, Di Tian opened his golden, vertical-pupiled eyes and glared fixedly at Bai Mo.

Bai Mo took out a portion of Growth Nectar and sprinkled it over Di Tian's head.

[Growth Nectar] Blue material

Di Tian couldn't help letting out a comfortable little groan.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yuena looked over curiously.

"I'm fattening him up first. Once we're out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I'll butcher him for meat. We have Gu Yuena to thank for her brilliant insight. Otherwise, I might've caused trouble!"

Gu Yuena's expression stiffened. She pretended not to notice the aggrieved look in Di Tian's eyes.

"Haha! Go ahead and say what you like. Good friends are supposed to help each other!"

Sorry, Old Di! Once you recover, you should be able to run away, right? He probably wouldn't waste a god's power on some ingredients! Probably~

That was what Gu Yuena thought.

"Got to hand it to Soul Beasts!"

Bai Mo put on a show of emotion and even patted Di Tian's head with his little hand.

"What is it?" Gu Yuena turned her head away from Di Tian and focused her gaze on Bai Mo instead.

"Look, this Soul Beast was beaten to a pulp protecting its kin's territory. Now look at your Uncle Di Long—he made two little kids cover his escape!"

Bai Mo thoroughly roasted Di Tian. No matter how big a child's heart was, it could only take so much!

"That's true!"

Hearing the conclusion that Soul Beasts were loyal, Gu Yuena couldn't help agreeing.

Di Tian, who was recovering from his injuries nearby, couldn't help widening his dragon eyes. Hot air puffed from his nostrils. Why don't you listen to what you're saying, Lord!

"Enough chatting! Little Bai, hurry over! These flowers and plants want to make a deal with you!"

Just as Bai Mo was busy teasing Di Tian, Little Black Tower called for him to come over.

Hearing her call, Bai Mo gave Di Tian's whiskers one last tug, then took Gu Yuena's little hand and led her over while Di Tian watched in despair.

"Human! We can make a deal with you!"

Youyou, at the front, hurriedly spoke up. They'd finally found someone willing to communicate, so naturally they were ready to lower their standards.

"Foolish!"

Bai Mo shook his head and said coldly.

"Can't you see the situation? You all belong to me. What makes you think you can bargain with me?"

In truth, even if the Immortal Herbs threatened to die, it wouldn't cost Bai Mo much. Setting aside whether they could die in front of Ms. Herta, even if they did, Bai Mo had already gathered information on this place and every Immortal Herb. The only drawback would be that he couldn't immediately power up his friends.

"Human! Don't push us too far! You've come to our—"

"Who says this is your territory? Isn't this where those two dragon seniors passed into the Dao?"

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Mo in shock!

Bai Mo took the opportunity to wink at Gu Yuena, as if to say, Watch me trick them!

Gu Yuena scratched her head. Somehow, she felt like Bai Mo wasn't tricking those Immortal Herbs.

Bai Mo had no fondness for these Immortal Herbs. There were corpses scattered everywhere beyond this treasure land, yet not a single one of them seemed to care.

After arriving in this world and awakening his Martial Soul, the first thing Bai Mo did was set a line for himself. Otherwise, with no limits, Bai Mo could have burned this whole world as fuel.

Now, facing these heartless lackeys of Poseidon, how could Bai Mo be expected to speak kindly to them?

"Bullshit! This is our territory! We just built our home on top of the dragon grave!"

The furious Infernal Delicate Apricot cursed viciously, opening Bai Mo's eyes.

"And besides! What do the dragons' territory and you bandits have to do with each other?"

Jiao Jiao kept firing off insults, practically speaking on behalf of all the Immortal Herbs.

Bai Mo said nothing. He simply closed his eyes and adjusted the Simulated Universe.

A black dragon, over ten meters long, appeared behind Bai Mo!

It was the data Bai Mo had copied from Di Tian!

"You! You! You!"

The Immortal Herbs weren't the only ones stunned.

Even Gu Yuena stared at Bai Mo in shock, wondering if he might be Di Tian's illegitimate son.

"Well? I'm here to reclaim something that belongs to my elders. Do I have to explain myself to you beasts?"

Bai Mo sneered coldly.

"Here are your choices. Those willing to offer themselves as sacrifices will have their souls preserved and sent somewhere else. Those who refuse will have their souls erased. You have some time to think it over! Ms. Herta, get to work! There's no need to be polite to a bunch of heartless beasts!"

Backed by the black dragon behind him, Bai Mo's cold sneer had a certain flair.

Gu Yuena couldn't help licking her lips. Her desire to win Bai Mo over grew even stronger.

Herta rolled her eyes and didn't bother replying. She held the hammer in one hand, took out a Soul Tool that could store living creatures with the other, and directed the drooping Immortal Herbs to climb inside one by one.

As for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Bai Mo couldn't move it with the one-use items he had right now. Fortunately, he'd collected the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's souls. Once Ms. Herta had studied them, she should be able to create an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well inside the Emperor Scepter!

Bai Mo stretched. The whole thing had ended quite smoothly. His gaze also swept, seemingly by chance, over the spot where Di Tian had run off.

"Bai Mo, who's your father?"

Once everything was over, Gu Yuena stepped up and asked him.

"I don't have a dad!"

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up at his answer. If he had no father, wouldn't that make it even more likely that Di Tian was his father?

"What about your mother?"

Gu Yuena could see Hanxue's true identity, so she knew the Snow Empress wasn't his mother.

"Isn't she at the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce?"

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, reached out with both hands to take Bai Mo's hands, and stared intently into his eyes.

"All right, I don't have a mom either!"

Bai Mo shrugged and said indifferently.

"Ah! How could that be?"

Gu Yuena put on a sorrowful expression for Bai Mo's sake. She'd already made up her mind: Bai Mo was definitely Di Tian's illegitimate son! The dragon bloodline that had burst forth from him just now was no fake!

Although Gu Yuena didn't know why that bloodline had disappeared afterward,

her clever mind told her that perhaps the god behind the Fairy Boat had taken an interest in his talent and hidden his Soul Beast bloodline?

And planned to pass the Godhood Inheritance on to him later?

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena smiled even more brightly. She decided she'd make sure to keep this secret hidden until Bai Mo became a god!
