Gu Yuena

"I don't know either." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Xu Yanli in confusion.

Suddenly, Electrolux stirred in Xu Yanli's mind. "Young friend, press your brows together and communicate with each other."

Perhaps because the voice had sounded in his mind, Xu Yanli didn't hesitate for even a moment before pressing his brow against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye.

A golden power circulated through their bodies.

By then, it was already too late for the Scarlet King to intervene.

At the same time, a silver-haired, violet-eyed girl came from afar, looking somewhat angry.

But when the Scarlet King saw the golden light revolving around Xu Yanli and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion like a Taiji symbol, he suddenly stopped.

Was this guy some kind of child of fortune among humans?

Maybe this wave of Soul Beasts hadn't come out at a loss...

But maybe it wasn't a good deal, either.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable force flow out of him. Those powers seemed important, and yet not all that important. Still, he hadn't lost very much.

If Tang San had been here, though, he would surely have been astonished. Huo Yuhao still looked like a child of fortune, but his fortune wasn't as strong as before—or rather, it wasn't as conspicuous.

Xu Yanli saw everything the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had experienced over the past tens of thousands of years.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, meanwhile, saw a book—a book called Peerless Tang Sect.

That was a real mistake. The moment she read it, the little thing was so furious she nearly went berserk.

Xu Yanli slowly opened his eyes and exchanged a glance with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Neither of them said a word. They simply turned their heads away in embarrassment.

When the Scarlet King saw Gu Yuena and her gesture for him to take the Three-Eyed Golden Lion away, he immediately picked up the sulking lion and disappeared from the three of their sight.

"Hello, my name is Gu Yuena." A girl with somewhat tattered clothes hurried over from afar.

Gu Yuena nervously wrapped her arms around Xu Yanli's leg.

Xu Yanli stared at the staggering girl in disbelief. Why was the Silver Dragon King here? By all rights, shouldn't she have taken human form during Legend of the Dragon King?

He had no idea what the Silver Dragon King was thinking. She had already figured out that this guy's fortune was absurdly strong, and that he might well be able to change the world in the future.

Rather than exhaust herself trying to choose her own path, she might as well follow this child of destiny.

"Uh, you... get up. I..." Xu Yanli felt Gu Yuena's arms tightening around the top of his leg, and his face instantly reddened.

How embarrassing.

After helping Gu Yuena to her feet, Xu Yanli hesitated for a moment, then led her to the carriage. "Hello, my name is Xu Yanli. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Um, kind sir, could you take me in? My family all died in the beast tide just now. Please, save me and take me away." Gu Yuena spoke with an act of tearful despair.

Xu Yanli could tell at a glance that she was acting—and not especially convincingly, either. After all, in a way, he was an acting expert himself.

"Of course." Xu Yanli chuckled.

The Silver Dragon King had come right to his door. Why wouldn't he take her in?

But she was Gu Yuena now. It wouldn't be easy to make her trust him, considering she was the Silver Dragon King in her complete form.

"We're heading to the Heaven Dou Empire on business. Do you want to come with us?" Xu Yanli asked with a smile.

"I have nowhere to go. Please, take me in. My Martial Soul is an Elemental Envoy, and my ability is elemental control. I'm really strong." Gu Yuena lowered her head as she spoke.

Xu Yanli, however, noticed the fleeting purple glint in her eyes.

He realized there was no point in joking around anymore. If he kept pushing, he might truly provoke the Silver Dragon King.

"All right. From today on, you're a member of Xiaoyao Pavilion. Don't worry—we'll take care of your food and lodging." Xu Yanli smiled as he took a token from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Gu Yuena.

Leaning against the Soul Guidance Carriage's window, Xu Yanli chuckled. He really hadn't expected to gain such a huge surprise.

Xu Yanli suddenly realized he'd forgotten something. He seemed to have left Ye Guyi behind.

It looked like he'd have to make use of the Evil Soul Masters this time. Ye Guyi wasn't suited to coming along.

He realized that his Martial Soul was different from a true Six-Winged Angel. After all, a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul wouldn't tolerate the existence of Evil Soul Masters.

Of course, it could also be because his soul didn't believe in that so-called Angel God.

Xu Yanli watched the carriage roll farther and farther away, then looked at Gu Yuena curled up in a ball.

To be honest, he really felt as if he were running an orphanage. Talented people from every corner kept flocking to him.

Xu Yanli sighed, then smiled and handed Gu Yuena a boxed meal he'd stored away earlier.

"From the looks of you, you must have come with the main group to hunt Soul Beasts. You probably haven't eaten in a long time, right?" Xu Yanli said with a smile.

Meanwhile, at Sea God Pavilion in Shrek Academy, everyone was still discussing the Silver Dragon King's emergence from the last time.

But clearly, the people from Shrek Academy didn't know what had happened. Neither did the Star Luo Royal Family or the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Dou Ling Empires, who had come to make inquiries.

The three parties were discussing the matter in a Council Hall in Shrek Academy's outer court.

Xu Yanli wasn't entirely unaware of what was going on, either. He'd simply had his own suspicions at the time.

He'd guessed that the Ferocious Beasts in there were up to something. But after seeing Gu Yuena today, he finally understood what had happened that day.

But had he just heard Electrolux's voice?

Xu Yanli glanced at Gu Yuena, who was eating obediently, then at Huo Yuhao, who was driving and scouting the road nearby. He slowly sent his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness.

"This junior pays his respects to Senior Electrolux." Xu Yanli respectfully addressed the Holy Necromancer, Electrolux.

"掌握日月摘星辰,世间无我这般人." Electrolux recited his famous line once again.

Xu Yanli scratched his ear, a hint of excitement flashing across his face.

"You know me," Electrolux said with certainty.

"I wouldn't say I know you. I've only heard of your deeds, Senior." Xu Yanli lowered his head with a smile.

"Heard of me? We're not even from the same plane." Electrolux chuckled.

Xu Yanli met Electrolux's eyes. "This junior comes from another world. I've heard your name and wish to become your disciple. Please accept me."

Electrolux seemed somewhat hesitant. But after thinking for a moment, he actually nodded in agreement, without putting Xu Yanli through any kind of test.
