As the silver light of the teleportation array gradually dimmed, Meng Yiran stood awkwardly in the middle of the hall, carrying her huge pink package. Although this was not her first time here, she still felt her legs were a little weak every time she faced the pressure of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
At this moment, a cold shadow quietly emerged.
Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly by the pavilion. At this time, because she absorbed First Soul Ring, her whole person exuded a cold and deep aura, like a cold rose blooming in the dark night.
Meng Yiran's big eyes rolled around, first looking at Na'er who was playing games with Xiao Wu, then at Gu Yuena who was sitting upright, and finally his eyes were locked on Zhu Zhuqing.
"My... this sister." Meng Yiran came forward and asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "Are you also the incarnation of some ancient mythical beast? Your true identity is... which Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and there was a rare trace of confusion on that cold and pretty face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. She blinked and looked at Meng Yiran doubtfully. "I am a human... why do you ask that?"
Meng Yiran patted his chest and muttered in Zhu Zhuqing's ear with a matter-of-fact expression, "You don't know, except for me, the people around Gu Tian are all 'old monsters'. That silver-haired sister over there It's hundreds of thousands of years old, as is Na'er who feeds the rabbits, and even the unbelievably gentle sister Bi Ji... I saw your breath was so cold just now, and I thought you were also a cat lady who came from some deep mountain."
Zhu Zhuqing After listening, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. She suddenly felt that being able to maintain her human identity among this group of mythical beasts seemed to be a special kind of pressure.
"But it's okay, so far, Gu Tian is the only two humans around us. Maybe we will get special care from Gu Tian!" Meng Yiran was a little excited. She was already planning to talk to Zhu Zhuqing teamed up to compete for Gu Tian's favor. Since they were several years older, Meng Yiran knew very well how to get the emperor's favor in the harem. After all, she had watched palace fighting dramas for so many years.
Early the next morning, the atmosphere inside the Dragon Palace became a little strange, and there seemed to be a trace of restlessness called "expectation" in the air.
Gu Tian changed out of his usual casual attire and put on an extremely well-tailored dark gown with gold embroidered cuffs. He looked heroic, and his every move showed the nobility of Dragon God. At this time, Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing are getting together, making mysterious gestures, and patiently and carefully explaining the customs of the human world to Gu Yuena, Bi Ji and Chiyan.
"Valentine's Day?" Chiyan leaned carelessly on the long wicker chair, with long fiery red hair draped over her shoulders like Lie Yan. She raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of confusion, "What kind of weird thing is that? Some kind of edible spiritual fruit? Or is it a secret technique that can instantly increase a hundred years of cultivation?"
Meng Yiran blushed and twisted his hands together awkwardly, explaining, "Sister Chiyan, that is not for improving strength. In human society, this is a festival exclusively for lovers. On this day, boys take girls to play in bustling places, give each other gifts, and express their love loudly and enthusiastically..."
"Express love?" Gu Yuena's purple eyes flashed with brilliance, as if something new and strange that she had never been exposed to was illuminated. She turned to look at Gu Tian, and the corners of her lips raised a hint of suspicion that could overwhelm all living beings. "Since it is your human tradition, it sounds much more interesting than those boring exercises."
Bi Ji, who has always been known for her compassion and gentleness, also showed a yearning look, and her emerald green eyes were full of water. "It sounds like it is a very warm and close holiday. Xiao Tian, how are we going to spend it?"
Gu Tian walked forward with a chuckle, opened his arms very naturally, and held several stunning women with different personalities in his arms. There was a bit of evil charm and bad intentions in his smile, "Since everyone wants to see the fireworks in the world, today I Let's have a 'happy reunion' version of Valentine's Day. However, if I bring you across the market in such a swagger, not to mention Nuoding City, I'm afraid Titled Douluo from all over the continent will lose their jobs and come to watch. So, we have to have something exciting."
"What's so exciting? Do you want to fight?" Xiao Wu jumped over excitedly, her pink bunny ears swaying.
"We are going to--Spirit City. That is the core of the Spirit Hall, and it will be the busiest place in the entire continent today. We are going there for a private visit incognito, and by the way, we will have a closer look at what kind of chaos those old guys from the Spirit Hall got into after learning the news about Tang Hao."
Douluo Continent, Soul Master Holy Land--Spirit City.
This place is not so much a city as it is a combination of a huge war fortress and a temple of faith. The towering hexagonal city wall exudes a sacred white light, and every rock seems to have been blessed by Soul Power. Today The Spirit City of Japan not only lacked the chill of the past, but was filled with the thick atmosphere of human fireworks. Red silk and satin was laid from the Papal Palace halfway up the mountain to the city gate, and large swaths of rose petals were flying in the wind.
At the gate, Gu Tian came with many beautiful items.
Each of them wore a special bamboo hat or white gauze, covering their faces that could cause riots. Gu Tian casually showed a temporary forged golden bishop's token to the city guards. The guards who originally wanted to conduct a routine inspection immediately fell to their knees in fear, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Enter the city!" Na'er cheered, his purple eyes filled with excitement.
As soon as they entered the city, the dazzling array of shops lining both sides of the street dazzled all the girls. The commercial grade of Spirit City was far a hundred times higher than that of Nuoding City. You can see jewelry polished with rare gemstones and gorgeous clothes sewn from the fur of Hundred-Year Soul Beast everywhere.
Just as Gu Tian led everyone to a stop in front of a shop specializing in selling love hairpins, two familiar faces suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Brother, drink slowly. It's thanks to you today that our brothers can be transferred back to the Spirit City headquarters from that remote Holy Soul Village to work here!" A rough voice Sound System said.
"What the hell, brother, this is also the His Holiness the Pope Saint. I didn't expect that the higher-ups would pay so much attention to that secret letter about Tang Hao and Tang San. Tsk tsk, now not only have I been promoted to a third-level deacon, my monthly Gold Soul Coin subsidy has tripled!"
Gu Tian turned his head, and through the window of the roadside restaurant, he saw at a glance Su Yuntao, who was in high spirits, and his brother Hun Yuntao beside him.
At this time, Su Yuntao's washed white uniform had long been replaced by a well-tailored gold-rimmed uniform, and there were three long swords embroidered on his chest. Each sword symbolized a first-level deacon. He was holding a fine emerald wine glass in his hand, and his whole face was glowing. How could he still have the decadent and downcast look he had when he was in Holy Soul Village?
Gu Tian secretly sneered in his heart. It seemed that Su Yuntao had indeed passed back the gift he had given him in full. The fact that Spirit Hall could reward him so heavily meant that Papal Palace must have confirmed the identity of Tang San, and thus launched a frenzied search for Tang Hao.
"Sir, do you want to say hello?" Gu Yue felt Gu Tian's gaze and asked coldly.
"No need, besides, after such a long time, I don't even know if people still remember it." Gu Tian looked away, his eyes returned to gentleness. He turned to look at Bi Ji beside him, and found that she was staring curiously at a green jade bracelet on the counter, with Swan's water-playing pattern engraved on it.
"Do you like it?" Gu Tian asked softly.
Bi Ji's face was slightly red, and he shook his head awkwardly. "I just think that the lines are somewhat similar to my own..."
Gu Tian couldn't help but throw out a heavy bag of Gold Soul Coin, directly took off the bracelet, pulled Bi Ji's gentle and jade-like wrist, and gently helped her put it on.
"It's Valentine's Day, it's for you. Besides, I don't need to make any money."
Bi Ji's emerald-like eyes were filled with ripples of light. He looked down at the bracelet on his wrist. The lake in his heart that had been silent for six hundred thousand years seemed to be creating long-lasting ripples due to Gu Tian's inadvertent tenderness.
"Wow! I want it too! Gu Tian brother is partial!" Na'er saw this scene and immediately stuck to it.
"All of them, all of them." Gu Tian laughed loudly. In the Spirit City sky full of falling flowers, he led this group of girls who would be able to shake the gods in the future, spreading their laughter and laughter at the feet of the so-called "temples".
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Tian's side face, and then at the sisters chatting and laughing beside her. Her originally cold and aloof heart completely melted at this moment. In this city that symbolized the pinnacle of power, she felt for the first time that as long as she was by this boy's side, she would feel at home wherever she could spend the holidays.
