Gu Yuena

"I don't know either," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said, looking at Xu Yanli with a bewildered expression.

Suddenly, Electrolux, residing within Xu Yanli's mind, stirred. "Young friend, press your brows together and exchange your thoughts."

Perhaps because the voice resonated directly within his mind, Xu Yanli did not hesitate to align his brow with the third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

A golden power began to circulate between their two bodies.

At this moment, the Scarlet King wanted to intervene, but it was already too late.

Simultaneously, a young girl with silver hair and purple eyes approached from the distance, her expression appearing somewhat furious.

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

Is this guy a Child of Destiny for humanity?

It seems this wave of soul beasts isn't a total loss...

But it doesn't seem worth it, either.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable power flowing out from his body. Those powers seemed important, yet also insignificant, though not much had been lost.

However, if Tang San were here, he would surely be astonished; although Huo Yuhao still appeared to be a Child of Destiny, he was no longer as vibrant as before, or perhaps, not as prominent.

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

Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw a book—a book titled Peerless Tang Sect.

One look was all it took to send the little creature into a frenzy of rage.

Xu Yanli slowly opened his eyes and met the gaze of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Neither said a word; they simply turned their heads away in embarrassment.

Seeing Gu Yuena signal for him to take the Three-Eyed Golden Lion away, the Scarlet King immediately scooped up the sulking creature and vanished from the trio's sight.

"Hello, my name is Gu Yuena." A young girl, her clothes appearing somewhat tattered, hurried over from the distance.

Gu Yuena nervously hugged Xu Yanli's thigh.

Xu Yanli looked at the stumbling girl in disbelief. How could the Silver Dragon King be here? Logically speaking, shouldn't she be undergoing her transformation during the era of Legend of the Dragon King?

At this moment, he was completely unaware of the Silver Dragon King's thoughts. She had realized that this guy's luck was ridiculously strong; in the future, he was very likely to be capable of changing the world.

Rather than struggling to choose her own path, it would be better to follow this Child of Destiny.

"Hey, you, get up, I..." Xu Yanli felt Gu Yuena clutching the base of his thigh a bit too tightly, and his face turned red instantly.

Embarrassed.

After helping Gu Yuena up, Xu Yanli hesitated for a moment before bringing her onto the vehicle. "Hello, my name is Xu Yanli. Is there anything you need help with?"

"Kind sir, could you take me in? My family just died in the beast tide. Please, save me and take me away," Gu Yuena said, feigning a tearful appearance.

Xu Yanli saw through her act instantly, and it was a bit poorly performed at that—after all, he was something of an acting expert himself.

"Of course," Xu Yanli said with a light chuckle.

Since the Silver Dragon King had delivered herself to his doorstep, why refuse?

However, since she was currently Gu Yuena, it wouldn't be easy to make her submit, especially since this was the full-form Silver Dragon King.

"Our group is planning to head to the Heaven Dou Empire for some business. Do you intend to follow?" Xu Yanli asked with a smile.

"I have nowhere else to go. Please, take me in. My martial soul is the Elemental Envoy, and my ability is elemental control. I'm very strong," Gu Yuena said, keeping her head low.

However, Xu Yanli noticed the cold, purple glint that flashed in the depths of Gu Yuena's eyes just a moment ago.

Xu Yanli knew this wasn't the time to keep joking around; if he pushed her any further, he might truly provoke the Silver Dragon King.

"Fine. From today on, you are a member of our Xiaoyao Pavilion. Don't worry, room and board are covered," Xu Yanli said with a smile, taking a token from his storage soul tool and handing it to her.

Leaning against the window of the soul tool vehicle, Xu Yanli chuckled. He never expected such a massive, unexpected windfall.

Xu Yanli suddenly realized he had forgotten something; he seemed to have left that girl, Ye Guyi, behind.

It seems that since he intends to utilize evil soul masters this time, Ye Guyi is not suited to follow.

He discovered that his martial soul was different from a true Six-Winged Angel; after all, the Six-Winged Angel martial soul could not tolerate the existence of evil soul masters.

Of course, it might also be because his soul did not hold faith in that so-called Angel God.

Xu Yanli watched the scenery recede as the vehicle moved, then looked at Gu Yuena, who was curled up in a ball.

To be honest, he really felt his place was becoming an orphanage; all sorts of talents were flocking to him.

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

"Looking at you, you must have come with the main force to hunt soul beasts. You haven't eaten in a long time, right?" Xu Yanli said with a smile.

Meanwhile, over at the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, everyone was still discussing the recent emergence of the Silver Dragon King.

However, it was clear that the people of Shrek Academy were unaware of it, as were the Star Luo Royal Family and the two imperial families of the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling empires who had come to inquire.

Representatives from all three parties were currently discussing the matter in a conference hall in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Xu Yanli was not entirely ignorant of these things, though he had only had his suspicions at the time.

He estimated that the fierce beasts inside were up to something, but seeing Gu Yuena today, he finally understood exactly what had happened that day.

But wait, did he hear the voice of that Electrolux just now?

Xu Yanli glanced at Gu Yuena, who was eating obediently, then looked at Huo Yuhao, who was driving and scouting the path, before slowly sinking his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.

"This Humble One greets Your Excellency Electrolux," Xu Yanli said respectfully to the Holy Necromancer, Electrolux.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars, there is no one in this world like me," Electrolux recited his classic motto once again.

Xu Yanli scratched his ear, a flash of excitement crossing his face.

"You know me," Electrolux said with a hint of certainty.

"I wouldn't say I know you, I have merely heard of Your Excellency's deeds," Xu Yanli said with a lowered head and a smile.

"Heard of me? We do not come from the same plane," Electrolux chuckled.

Xu Yanli looked directly into Electrolux's eyes and said, "This Humble One comes from another world. Having heard of your reputation, I wish to take you as my master. Please, accept this humble one."

Electrolux seemed somewhat hesitant, but after pondering something, he unexpectedly nodded in agreement without putting him through any trials.
