Appearance, Silver Dragon King

"You actually know of the Lord?"

"Some things are naturally known. Otherwise, why would I have appeared here?"

Ye Yunxi gave a light, playful smile.

Di Tian looked at the woman before him—barefoot, spirited, and even protected by the Auspicious Beast.

Because of this, he couldn't bring himself to feel any dislike, yet he still refused.

"No. The Lord is currently in a deep slumber. Though I do not know how you learned of the Lord's existence, you should return as soon as possible."

"It's not possible?"

A mischievous thought flashed through Ye Yunxi's mind.

Since soft tactics and pestering were useless, she would try another way.

Just then, the system's voice rang out again.

[Ding! Triggered Fun Teasing Quest: Tease the King of Fierce Beasts]

[Quest Requirements: Successfully make Di Tian lose his composure (blush + speechless), maximizing the teasing effect.]

[Quest Rewards: Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul charm effect permanently +20% (also effective against Fierce Beast-level soul beasts). Unlock "Fox Shadow Clone" skill (can split into three clones with strength equal to the main body, lasting for a quarter of an hour).]

"This is exactly what I wanted," Ye Yunxi smiled faintly.

The next moment, the soul power within her surged, and nine fluffy fox tails instantly unfurled behind her.

The snow-white fox fur shimmered with a soft, moon-like radiance, and a pink halo flowed at the tips of her tails as she silently recited and activated the Fox Moon Charm Art.

An aura blending auspicious energy and allure spread outward; it was not as overbearing as ordinary charms, but like a frog being boiled in warm water, it quietly permeated the heart.

Ye Yunxi tapped her bare feet against the ground, her figure slowly drawing closer, her peach-blossom eyes watery and filled with a captivating smile:

"Di Tian, is it really not possible?"

Di Tian's entire body stiffened, his pupils shrinking.

He was the King of Fierce Beasts, having lived for so long that his mind was as firm as a rock, never having experienced any emotional fluctuations.

But at this moment, shrouded in that unique aura and looking at the woman before him with her silk-like, alluring eyes—

Seeing her nine tails swaying slightly, his cheeks uncontrollably flushed a faint red, and his heart beat inexplicably faster.

"Im... impossible!"

Di Tian's heart hammered wildly. He hurriedly circulated his soul power to suppress the strange agitation and retreated half a step, though his gaze remained firm.

"I am the guardian under the Lord; how could I be charmed by a human? You need not waste your efforts!"

How could he have such a reaction to a human woman? It must be that this charm technique was too bizarre, coupled with the aura of the Auspicious Beast upon her!

Di Tian forcibly averted his gaze, not daring to look directly into Ye Yunxi's eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The Lord's slumber concerns the safety of the Star Dou Great Forest and must not be disturbed! Leave at once, or do not blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing that he remained steadfast despite his flushed cheeks, Ye Yunxi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This King of Fierce Beasts was indeed more disciplined than she had imagined.

She withdrew some of her alluring aura, her nine tails swaying gently, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "Lord Di Tian is certainly firm in his resolve, but, your appearance seems to have betrayed you."

"Di Tian, what is wrong with you?"

Beside them, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted its head in confusion, looking at the flushed Di Tian with bewilderment.

"Ahem, just pretend you saw nothing."

Di Tian coughed a few times.

Just as Ye Yunxi was preparing to strike again, the system's voice began to ring.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the quest. The reward has been issued.]

"The quest is already finished. Then there is no need for me to continue."

Ye Yunxi withdrew the allure from her eyes.

"Since Di Tian doesn't like it, then I can only do it myself."

"What are you trying to do?" Di Tian watched as Ye Yunxi's aura shifted.

"As for what I am doing, just watch."

The next moment, Ye Yunxi took out the Silver Dragon Nirvana Crystal.

The origin power contained within it bloomed instantly. Even Di Tian could feel that what Ye Yunxi held in her hand was undoubtedly a treasure.

Just as Di Tian was about to ask what it was—

The entire Lake of Life began to tremble violently.

In an instant, a crack tore open in the ground.

A massive dragon claw lunged out from beneath the earth.

In the blink of an eye, a massive silver dragon appeared before Ye Yunxi.

"My Lord!"

Di Tian immediately knelt on one knee.

Shortly after, two more figures arrived before the Silver Dragon King.

One possessed a posture as elegant as a celestial being, with green hair cascading to her waist and a neck as slender as a swan's.

It was the Emerald Jade Swan, Bi Ji.

The other figure had a tall, fiery physique with purple-black hair that stirred without wind, her aura a complete contrast to that of Bi Ji.

It was the Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi Ji.

Like Di Tian, both women knelt on one knee, respectfully calling out to the Silver Dragon King as My Lord.

Gu Yuena's purple eyes swept across the group, finally locking onto the Silver Dragon Nirvana Crystal in Ye Yunxi's hand.

"Human. You possess the same aura as the Auspicious Beast."

A flicker of confusion crossed Gu Yuena's eyes; there had never been a record of a human possessing the same aura as the Auspicious Beast.

"Just because the Silver Dragon King hasn't seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now. Furthermore, your injuries have not fully recovered. You must need what I have in my hand, right?"

Ye Yunxi smiled faintly.

"Human, you know so much, yet you dare to trespass into the Lake of Life alone. Are you not afraid that I will kill you?" Gu Yuena's aura radiated a hint of coldness.

"Kill me? If Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King truly wanted me dead, Di Tian beside you would have already struck." Ye Yunxi gave a playful smile and said coquettishly to Di Tian, "Isn't that right, Di Tian?"

Di Tian felt a jolt in his heart at the question: "My Lord, this human—the item she carries must be of great use to you. Moreover, with the same aura as the Auspicious Beast, she certainly poses no threat to our soul beast clan."

Damn it, this human woman, she just had to bring up the most awkward topic.

It's fortunate that Bi Ji and Zi Ji weren't there at the time, otherwise, where would I hide my old face?

"I can sense it myself. Also, human, you brought this item here—is it to cooperate with me?"

Ye Yunxi did not answer Gu Yuena immediately, but instead smiled faintly and said:

"Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King, why don't you transform so we can talk in private? This current state makes you seem quite insincere."

"Oh? You are quite an interesting human."

Far from feeling offended, Gu Yuena felt a spark of interest in the audacious woman before her.

With a thought, her massive dragon body was instantly enveloped in a soft white light, which gradually contracted and condensed.

Finally, a pair of bare, jade-white feet stepped out from the light, landing gently on the lush green grass without gathering a speck of dust.

As the white light dissipated, the woman's figure became clear: silver-white hair cascaded like a waterfall with faint starlight at the tips, a simple white dress outlined her graceful silhouette, and with purple eyes, her beauty was peerless and enchanting.

Ye Yunxi gazed at the transformed Gu Yuena, paused, and teased:

"Well then, Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King, let us step aside to talk."

"No problem. The three of you wait here; I shall go elsewhere to discuss matters with her."

"Yes, My Lord!"
