Watching Gu Tian being domineeringly held in Chiyan's embrace, that scorching, delicate body seemed almost to swallow him whole. Na'er watched from the side, her teeth itching, her fair little fists clenched tight, her purple eyes filled with indignation.
Yet, facing this ancient-level Fire Dragon King, Na'er truly felt a sense of powerlessness stemming from their difference in status. She couldn't beat her, nor could she drive her away, so she could only watch with longing eyes.
This feeling gave her the sensation of an incompetent husband in a Japanese film.
No, if this can be endured, what cannot? If an uncle can endure it, an aunt certainly cannot!
Suddenly, Na'er's clever eyes darted around, as if she had thought of a brilliant topic. She calmed her mood, put on an innocent smile, leaned forward, and curiously examined Chiyan's fiery red pajamas.
"Sister Chiyan, where exactly did you pop out from just now?" Na'er blinked her large eyes, her tone filled with curiosity. "You weren't here a second ago; it was like you just appeared out of thin air!"
Chiyan leaned against Gu Tian's shoulder, her slender fingers twirling a strand of her flaming hair, and answered lazily, "Me? I live in Little Tian's Sea of Consciousness now. It's much more interesting in there than this cold Dragon Palace; it has everything. Whatever I want to eat or play with, I can manifest with just a single thought."
Hearing this, Na'er's eyes lit up sharply, and Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena gathered around as well.
"You can have whatever you want?" Na'er looked enchanted, grabbing Gu Tian's other hand and shaking it. "Brother Gu Tian, Na'er wants to go in and see too! Won't you take us to experience that magical place?"
Stared at by several pairs of sparkling eyes, Gu Tian couldn't hold out. He called out in his heart, "Sister Ao Linxi, can you let them come in for a look?"
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Ao Linxi stood up from the lounge chair in the villa and elegantly smoothed her skirt. She nodded, but her tone turned serious: "It is possible, but Little Tian, you must remember that the Sea of Consciousness is a soul master's most core and fragile place. It is directly linked to your soul and divine sense. Because they are your most trusted companions, they may enter, but you must never bring any strangers with malicious intent inside in the future. Once the Sea of Consciousness suffers a heavy blow from the outside, you will be doomed beyond redemption in an instant."
"I understand, Sister Ao Linxi," Gu Tian responded heavily.
Immediately, Gu Tian stood up, and the nine-colored Dragon God light diffused from his palm, forming a soft barrier that enveloped Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Na'er.
"Close your eyes, empty your minds, and do not resist my guidance."
After a brief moment of vertigo, the three women felt the pressure around them lighten. When they opened their eyes again, they were completely stunned by the scene before them.
Beneath their feet was a beach as white and soft as fine salt, and before them lay an endless ocean shimmering with nine-colored light. In the center of the beach, that modern, all-white two-story luxury villa shone brilliantly under the sun.
"Wow! It's so big here!" Xiao Wu excitedly kicked off her shoes and ran barefoot on the sand, feeling the surreal softness. "Brother Gu Tian, you actually built such a huge house inside your head?"
"This is the rule of the Sea of Consciousness," Gu Tian walked up to explain. "Here, I am the sole creator. As long as the mental power is strong enough, anything I imagine can take physical form."
Xiao Wu's curiosity piqued; she squatted on the ground, closed her eyes, and muttered, "I want carrots... lots and lots of them, the sweetest and crunchiest kind!"
With a bang, a large basket of fresh, dew-covered carrots fell from mid-air. Xiao Wu cheered, picked one up, and took a bite, her face filled with happiness.
Watching the three girls playing joyfully on the beach, a mischievous thought suddenly welled up in Gu Tian's heart. He looked at the three girls, who were currently turned away from him, curiously examining the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, and a wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
Since this is my territory, I get to set the rules.
Gu Tian flicked his finger lightly and silently thought, "Disperse."
"Ah—!"
Accompanied by three startled cries, the school uniforms, leather armor, and long dresses worn by Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Na'er dissolved into colorful specks of light dancing in the sky. Under the illumination of the nine-colored divine light, three perfect, delicate bodies—as fine as white porcelain, with different but equally breathtaking curves—were exposed to Gu Tian's sight without any cover.
"Brother Gu Tian! You're too bad!" Na'er was blushing furiously, instinctively trying to find something to cover herself, but here in the Sea of Consciousness, without Gu Tian's permission, she couldn't manifest a thing.
"This is what you call a spiritual baptism," Gu Tian laughed heartily, watching the three girls chase him in a playful brawl. This pure laughter echoed through the Sea of Consciousness, filling this once-silent space with unprecedented vitality.
After playing for a while, due to the high-intensity interaction of their spiritual bodies, the three girls felt waves of fatigue. Gu Tian took the opportunity to send them back to their physical bodies.
In the Dragon Palace bedroom, the three women recovered from the dizziness of the transfer, feeling somewhat exhausted. They lay sprawled across the massive crystal bed, leaning against one another. They slept exceptionally soundly, their lips still curved in smiles from their play in the Sea of Consciousness.
Chiyan had followed them out as well. Even back in reality, she still held Gu Tian domineeringly, her entire being like a ball of scorching fire, pressed tightly against his back.
The next morning.
As the morning light pierced through the layers of water in the Lake of Life and projected into the great hall, Gu Yuena had long been waiting on that silver throne.
Chiyan's return gave Gu Yuena unprecedented confidence. She looked at the spirited Gu Tian below, her eyes flashing with a cold and firm light.
"Chiyan's awakening is not just the return of the Sovereign; it is the turning point in the fate of the soul beast clan," Gu Yuena stood up, her silver dress swaying.
"I have decided: no more passive waiting. We are going to initiate the first step of our great cause."
Gu Yuena raised her hand, and a full map of the Douluo Continent, flickering with countless points of light, appeared in the void.
"In the coming period, I will personally seek out those soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old who are slumbering across the Douluo Continent."
Gu Yuena pointed to several deep, mysterious regions. "Whether it is the overlord of the Far North, the giant beasts in the deep sea, or the reclusive ancient monsters in the major mountain ranges—I will awaken them all and forge a powerful alliance in the name of the Dragon God."
"The soul beast clan has been silent for too long. From today on, we will make those self-righteous human soul masters understand who the true masters of this land are!"
At this moment, Gu Yuena possessed the image of a powerful woman strategizing in the workplace, as if everything she set her mind to would surely come to pass.
