A Deal with the Silver Dragonfish! (Please don't abandon the book, I'm begging for your follow-up reads)

"Judging by your appearance, you seem to know everything about us. Am I right, person from another world?"

Before Lan Yu could even open his mouth, Gu Yuena's follow-up words sent a jolt through his heart.

As expected, just like the Ice and Fire Dragon King, she saw right through me, Lan Yu thought. It seems the combat power comparisons I imagined earlier need a serious re-evaluation.

Lan Yu shook his head and got straight to the point: "I wouldn't dare say I know everything, but I do know a fair bit."

Gu Yuena stared at Lan Yu. She hadn't expected the other party to be so candid, directly admitting he came from another world.

However, she didn't press for more details. If some unforeseen force were to trigger and attract those fellows from the God Realm, it would be disastrous.

But then again, since he was human and had received the gift of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, befriending him while he was still weak and helping him become a god would be wise. When the time was ripe, the Dragon Clan would rise to greatness once more!

As the Silver Dragon King, one half of the Dragon God, and the co-ruler of the soul beast clan, Gu Yuena couldn't help but praise her own brilliance!

Such a shocking and world-shaking plan was something only she could have conceived.

That idiot Golden Dragon King, who had put all his intelligence points into his muscles, could never compare to her.

As for why she didn't choose to kill him and devour the Ice and Fire Dragon King origin he had obtained?

It was because if the other party could obtain the origin of the Ice and Fire Dragon King without anyone noticing, he must possess trump cards she knew nothing about.

Therefore, she could only befriend him; she must never become his enemy!

Glancing at Gu Yuena, Lan Yu had a strange feeling that this Silver Dragon King's "world-shaking wisdom" had just been activated.

"Are you thinking of something rude?"

Hearing Gu Yuena's cold, clear voice, Lan Yu shook his head repeatedly. "No."

He couldn't exactly tell her just how "shocking" her "world-shaking wisdom" was, could he?

Lan Yu still wanted to live a few more years; he didn't want to die in this foreign land at such a young age.

"I still don't know your name," Gu Yuena asked casually.

"Lan Yu."

"Very well, Lan Yu. Since you have inherited the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, let us make a deal." Gu Yuena cut to the chase.

Lan Yu asked: "What kind of deal?"

"Silver Dragon King, you aren't thinking of having this brat help the soul beast clan revive after he becomes a god, are you?"

Just then, the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, which had been sleeping in the Summoning Element space, awakened due to the power of the Life Gold.

"What does the soul beasts of the Douluo Planet have to do with you? Could it be that you, one of the halves of the noble Dragon God, have started considering yourself a soul beast too?" The Ice Dragon King's tone was full of disdain.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and said indifferently: "This is a deal between him and me; what does it have to do with you? You are just lingering on with remnants of souls, can't you just stay quiet!"

"Hmph!"

The two great dragon kings snorted coldly but said nothing more.

Just as the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena said, they were now only remnants of souls lingering here. If it weren't for Lan Yu's Summoning Element keeping them going, they would have likely gone to meet the other dragon kings long ago.

"Alright, please continue," Lan Yu said.

Only then did Gu Yuena elaborate on the specific details of the deal she wanted to make.

It was essentially that after Lan Yu became a god, he would help Gu Yuena return to the God Realm.

As for the soul beast clan? If he could help them along the way, fine; if not, so be it.

Originally, Gu Yuena didn't want to be this so-called co-ruler of the soul beasts. If it weren't for Di Tian and that group of reckless fierce beasts "morally kidnapping" her, she would have likely remained asleep in this Life Lake until her injuries had fully healed.

After hearing what Gu Yuena wanted him to do, Lan Yu said: "You can't expect the horse to run without giving it any grass, can you?"

"I will order Di Tian. As long as you are on the Douluo Planet, he will be responsible for your safety until you obtain a god's inheritance!" Gu Yuena said earnestly.

As the Silver Dragon King, one half of the Dragon God, she had to maintain her dignity. Ordering a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King whose strength was inferior to her own was a simple matter.

At the same time, she hadn't expected Lan Yu to agree so quickly; it seemed he was quite confident in himself.

"That sounds good," Lan Yu smiled slightly.

Clearly, Gu Yuena had taken a liking to his potential as a person from another world. Not only did he possess a power system independent of the Douluo Planet, but he had also obtained the origin of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. That was why she placed him on equal footing; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the chance to enter this place.

Or perhaps it was the underlying code of the Douluo Continent at work; it was hard to say.

"It just so happens that I want to contract the Snow Empress as my contract beast, so please have Di Tian accompany me to the Far North," Lan Yu said.

"The Far North? A contract beast?"

Gu Yuena was no stranger to the Far North. Back when she had fled to the Douluo Planet to escape the pursuit of the God Realm, she had sensed the aura of the fallen Ice God.

Moreover, as the head of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Snow Empress would not be much weaker than Di Tian when utilizing the local advantages.

"If you want the Snow Empress to be your contract beast, I'm afraid that will be very difficult. I doubt she will agree," Gu Yuena said. "Besides, the soul beasts of the Far North all worship the Ice God, unless you obtain the Ice God's inheritance."

"After all, the feeling of being controlled by others is not pleasant."

"One must hit the southern wall at least once."

Lan Yu smiled. If he weren't cooperating with the Silver Dragon King now, he suspected that this forced contract wouldn't be aimed at the Snow Empress, but at Gu Yuena herself.

Gu Yuena sent Lan Yu out of her hiding place and then ordered Di Tian to search for 100,000-year dragon-type soul beasts nearing the end of their lives, to have them sacrifice themselves for Lan Yu.

Although he could not understand the actions of his master, the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian still scurried off to find a dragon-type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had failed to survive its two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.

This dragon-type soul beast was known as a Water-Fire Sub-Dragon, possessing both water and fire attributes.

Had it survived the two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, then by virtue of its dual water and fire attributes, as well as its sub-dragon bloodline, it could have barely ranked among the ranks of the Fierce Beasts.

But fate was cruel to beasts, and it failed to survive the heavenly tribulation.

After the sacrificial ritual concluded, Lan Yu became a genuine Soul Emperor powerhouse, and his Soul Power Level consequently reached level 68.

Moreover, he had also gained two soul skills: the first was named Ice Dragon Bind, and the second was Fire Dragon Blast.

The former was exactly as its name suggested, a binding-type soul skill that summoned an ice dragon to restrain the enemy.

The latter involved summoning a fire dragon to coordinate with the ice dragon to trigger a self-detonation, possessing considerable power.

According to the law that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast must drop a soul bone, the soul bone dropped by this Water-Fire Sub-Dragon was a torso bone. However, Lan Yu already had a full set of soul bones, so he had no use for this torso bone and tucked it away; perhaps it might have other uses.

"Since the master has ordered me to act as your protector, let us depart for the Far North immediately," Di Tian said with a rather respectful tone.

Lan Yu nodded slightly, and then he and Di Tian set off together for the Far North.
