"Found it!"
Bai Tu's eyes lit up, and he nudged Gu Yuena.
"What did you find?"
"I found the Blue Silver Emperor's location. I can already sense another life-form in the distance answering my call!"
Bai Tu wagged his tail, which had grown big again.
"Has it been born?"
Gu Yuena asked curiously.
"Mm... I think so. The Blue Silver Emperor is so weak right now that my little baby will probably absorb enough Soul Power from her to be born very soon!"
"Give me the location. I'll send the Ten Thousand Demon King out."
Gu Yuena spoke casually. After Bai Tu had helped her punish the Blue Silver Emperor, she was no longer so angry about the Blue Silver Emperor's attempt to deceive her.
"Go ahead~ You'd better bring back the Soul Bone, too. We shouldn't let good things go to waste!"
Bai Tu gave Gu Yuena the location and mentioned that the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone was nearby as well.
"None of that matters. What matters is when you plan to advance to a hundred thousand years."
Gu Yuena glanced at Bai Tu's tail. With this energy, it would be no problem for Bai Tu to increase his limit by another ten thousand years!
"If I could, I'd want to reach a hundred thousand years right now!"
Bai Tu gazed plaintively at Gu Yuena, who was sprawled on top of him.
Who didn't want to get stronger sooner? It wasn't as if he had a choice!
"Ah~"
Gu Yuena let out a quiet sigh.
[Gu Yuena: You and Zi JI can come back. Stand guard outside the space while I protect Xiao Bai. I may need you for something else later.] [Bi Ji: Yes, my lord!]
Bai Tu stared, stunned, as Gu Yuena suddenly sent a message in the group...
Before he could react, his clothes burst apart!
With a wave of her delicate hand, Gu Yuena sealed this Small Space with tremendous power. Without her permission, no one would ever be able to enter!
Gu Yuena looked down at Bai Tu with an air of arrogance!
Gu Yuena's robes settled lightly around her, revealing a majestic yet sacred Dragon Gate. Its immense draconic might instantly filled the area, firmly pinning Bai Tu's little Spirit Fox in place.
Bai Tu's heart tightened, and his expression grew solemn as he lifted his eyes to Gu Yuena.
Her gaze was cool, though a hint of turmoil stirred beneath it. Her lips were pressed together, as if she were hesitating, and she made no move to strike.
Seeing this, Bai Tu didn't hesitate. If his opponent wasn't going to attack, then he would be the one to break the stalemate!
"Exorcism Form One!"
He urged his Soul Power, and the little Spirit Fox suddenly gathered its strength, charging straight at Gu Yuena's Dragon Gate barrier with fierce momentum!
Thud—
A muffled impact rang out.
Bai Tu sucked in a breath, his face full of shock!
"Hmph~"
The Dragon Gate's barrier didn't budge or suffer the slightest damage. Instead, his Spirit Fox staggered from the impact, nearly losing its form.
That made Gu Yuena laugh.
"Serves you right! That's what you get for not cultivating properly before~"
Gu Yuena gave a soft snort, her voice tinged with coyness.
She slowly bent down. The Dragon Gate floating beside her dimmed, and its radiance faded!
With a faint hum, the Spirit Fox suddenly unleashed a surge of powerful Soul Power, forcibly breaking through the Dragon Gate's binding barrier!
Soul Power churned inside the barrier, transforming into a blazing red glow. Its momentum instantly turned fierce!
Gu Yuena's heart gave a sudden jolt. Dazed, she leaned forward of her own accord, and her lips met Bai Tu's!
Sensing its master's fluctuating emotions, the Dragon Gate immediately tightened the barrier. Layers of light walls pressed in from all sides, trapping the Spirit Fox as it crashed about.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Fox was still young and lacked sufficient cultivation. It couldn't break free of the draconic might's suppression, and could only remain outside Dragon Palace, unable to advance or retreat!
Bai Tu couldn't help letting out a low, muffled groan. Soul Power surged violently through his body!
A huge fox tail suddenly appeared behind him, broad and fluffy enough for the two of them to sit down and rest on.
Seeing that this really did replenish Bai Tu's energy, a sheen of moisture glimmered in Gu Yuena's purple eyes, and her gaze softened.
She leaned closer, gently brushing her lips against his as she used a secret dragon technique to control the Dragon Gate. Its inner walls opened and closed, pressing in layer by layer as she tried to completely tame the mischievous little Spirit Fox!
Bai Tu could only feel his Soul Power being drawn out again and again. His whole body tingled and went limp.
He'd been raised by Bi Ji from childhood and had always cultivated in quiet seclusion. He'd never experienced such strange turmoil of the heart or such unstable Soul Power!
After all, little foxes his own size were either weak or too young. He'd never had a chance!
"Absorb it!"
Gu Yuena gently bit Bai Tu's lower lip, and a rich energy flowed from the Dragon Gate into his body!
The energy was so gentle, so considerate, as it slowly coursed through every part of Bai Tu's body!
It attentively helped strengthen his physique!
Bai Tu shifted and realized that he could move only one hand, the one touching his lord's white silk.
Since that was the case, Bai Tu could only close his eyes and enjoy his lord's affection!
He began controlling the absorption of the energy spilling from the Dragon Gate!
His enormous tail slowly began to shrink...
Feeling the aura rising from Bai Tu, Gu Yuena nodded. It seemed she no longer needed Bi Ji and Zi JI...
Seeing Bai Tu close his eyes and lie there as if ready to be taken, Gu Yuena's appetite stirred, too!
It wasn't for her own selfish pleasure!
She was doing it to replenish Bai Tu's energy!
First, it would increase Bai Tu's cultivation age!
Second, it would give Bai Tu the strength he'd need later to deal with the Asura Divine Power inside her!
In an instant, the Dragon Gate she'd summoned actually entered its second form!
It unleashed a suction force powerful enough to swallow the little fox!
[Ah Yin: Image (a small green sprout beside a yellowed, withered plant)] [Ah Yin: Young Master... my child has been born] [Ah Yin: Ah Yin doesn't ask Young Master to forgive me. Could I ask you to take this child away?]
Ah Yin watched anxiously as the little sprout tried to nuzzle her.
But because of the difference in their height and size, she couldn't reach it at all!
Ah Yin felt a pang of heartache. Even though this wasn't a child she'd wanted to give birth to, it was still her child!
[Qian Renxue: You still want your child to leave?] [Qian Renxue: You must hate Bai Tu for making you pregnant!]
Qian Renxue asked in confusion. Then Xue Qinghe, whose appearance she'd assumed, froze.
"My father was... the previous pope..."
"...And she was my father's disciple..."
Qian Renxue shook her head. It was as if a sudden flash of insight had crossed her mind, but she couldn't grasp it. Maybe she simply didn't want to think it through!
[Ah Yin: I...] [Ah Yin: I don't know why Young Master hates me...] [Ah Yin: But the child is innocent] [Qian Renxue: Hahahaha!!!] [Qian Renxue: What a fine thing to say, that the child is innocent!]
Xue Qinghe burst into laughter. She didn't even realize that tears were already streaming down her face!
[Qian Renxue: Let me tell you!] [Qian Renxue: Bai Tu hates you for a very simple reason: you're a traitor and an idiot] [Qian Renxue: You're a traitor because you should act according to whichever side you belong to!] [Qian Renxue: And you're an idiot because everyone in the group already knows Tang Hao has a problem with you, while you're still clueless!] [Huo Wu: Huh? Since when?]
Bibi Dong's face darkened as she read the conversation between Qian Renxue and Ah Yin. It seemed like they were both cursing her out!
But had she done anything wrong? She hadn't!
Xiao Xue might have lost her mother's love, but Bibi Dong had lost her chastity!
And unlike this Blue Silver Emperor, Xiao Gang was her true love! Wanting to elope with Xiao Gang back then hadn't made her a traitor to Spirit Hall!
```
[Ah Yin: Hao Ge has a problem with me?]
[Qian Renxue: I'm dying... You seriously missed the line right above that saying you were a traitor, didn't you?!]
