Dragon God's Traitor! Three Girls Vie for Bai Yuan, Beast Tide Attack!

Gu Yuena leaned against the porthole, her gaze fixed on the widening horizon in the distance:

We're almost at the Star Luo Empire.

"I'm going to leave the team and go have some fun then."

"Besides, there are some things to discuss with my family, so I promise to return to the team soon."

Bai Yuan glanced at her sideways:

"Okay."

Then remember to report to me on time, otherwise I'll tell the teacher you've left the group."

Gu Yuena's brow twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes inwardly:

This king actually has to report to a human!

What a disgrace!

As if he hadn't seen her expression, Er reached out and gently patted her head.

"Remember to bring me some local specialties; your Senior Brother is so good to you."

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, forcing out the word, "Fine!"

Gu Yuena turned her face away and continued looking out the window.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything more, just stood quietly beside her, following her gaze to the same sea.

The sea breeze blew in from the side, perfectly easing the silence between the two.

Then a tall, slender figure appeared on the other side of the deck.

A blonde, blue-eyed girl in white held a long sword.

The sword tip drew a clean and crisp arc in the morning light, the movement light and ethereal.

After finishing her stance, Ye Xinglan walked towards them, sword in hand.

Her steps were light, clearly indicating that she had noticed the figure in their direction.

Gu Yuena's gaze lingered on her for a moment before she looked away, her voice lowered just enough for Bai Yuan to hear:

"She's here again."

"These past few days, as soon as we get to the deck, she comes over to discuss Sword Intent and sword soul, and sometimes she studies secondary profession skills."

Who doesn't know what she's thinking?

Her tone carried a hint of yin and yang at the end.

"Oh dear, your classmate is here to see you."

Bai Yuan glanced at her sideways, his lips twitching slightly.

Where did the Silver Dragon King learn this sarcastic tone?

He looked at her expression, which was trying hard to maintain her composure, and deliberately dragged out his words:

"Cute is here."

Gu Yuena's face flushed red, and she lowered her voice even further:

"The top- Genius Ranking used the guise of communication to lure girls!"

"I want to expose this!"

Bai Yuan raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead:

"Nonsense!"

Gu Yuena covered her forehead, glaring at him but unable to lash out.

Ye Xinglan had already walked up to the two of them, her gaze sweeping between Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena.

What are you all discussing?

Bai Yuan withdrew his hand and naturally continued the conversation:

"Speaking of your sword strikes just now, your finishing moves were much more stable than yesterday."

Gu Yuena stood to the side, without saying a word.

Ye Xinglan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before returning to Bai Yuan:

"Thanks."

"Thanks to practicing with you."

I've had a lot of insights these past few days.

She didn't specify what it was.

But Bai Yuan noticed that the strength with which she gripped the sword hilt and the way she finished her stance were more natural than before.

She adjusted her grip on the sword several times before finally settling on a comfortable position.

After that night at the party, she seemed to no longer deliberately hide her intention to get closer.

They viewed this ocean voyage as an opportunity and often appeared by his side.

On the deck, in the dining room, in the corridor outside the meditation room, one can always find a sufficiently reasonable reason to approach.

"I'm only interested in cultivation, not in liking him."

"That's right, it's all for cultivation. Following a strong person will always make you stronger."

She silently completed that sentence in her mind.

Gu Yuena turned her head away:

"So young and already learning bad habits..."

She saw through his intentions at a glance; cultivation was nothing more than a more respectable excuse.

Yuanen Yehui was also often present, always finding a plausible reason.

Sometimes it's organizing accounts, sometimes it's helping him summarize his Soul Bone, and sometimes it's just something I happen to be passing by.

Bai Yuan didn't pay much attention to this. He noticed that Gu Yuena would instinctively stand a little closer whenever a figure approached.

Gu Yuena shifted her gaze from Ye Xinglan to Yuanen Yehui, who was walking towards them from a distance.

She snorted inwardly:

This is outrageous! They all want to steal my servants?

Come on, let's see if you can take it away.

Her gaze lingered on each of the two women for a moment before returning to her own.

"What's so great about it!"

"When I grow up, I'll have that too..."

Damn it!

She turned her head away and didn't continue speaking.

At this moment, members of the Star Luo Delegation were scattered in twos and threes on the deck.

Their gazes, however, all drifted in the same direction.

The three figures beside Bai Yuan were like three flowers blooming in different seasons, yet they all blossomed simultaneously in the same morning light.

Some people were holding cups and pretending to drink, while others were talking, but their eyes never left that direction.

Finally, someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath:

"This is so enviable..."

Someone nearby whispered in response:

"You think just anyone can be number one on the Genius Ranking?"

"Not only are you more capable, but you also have a way with women."

Many other female members also tried to strike up a conversation, but before they could get within five steps of Bai Yuan, they were stopped by a gaze that was neither too strong nor too weak.

Those members of the Star Luo Delegation who were originally full of ambition and wanted to compete with Bai Yuan on this voyage.

Standing at the edge of the deck, I looked at the three figures and Bai Yuan standing between them.

Someone took half a step in their direction, then turned back;

"Fine, I'll challenge him..."

"Even the guys around him might not be able to beat him."

"It's embarrassing to even say it out loud."

The person next to him didn't respond, but that silence said it all.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze from the morning light, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

He sensed an aura gathering.

The Core Flame within him flickered slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at the distant sea.

The wind was still blowing, and the sea remained calm.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yuena seemed to sense his momentary pause.

Follow his gaze and look out.

She hasn't noticed anything unusual yet.

Bai Yuan did not answer, his gaze remaining fixed on the darkening sea.

He could feel it; those outlines were slowly rising.

He glanced in another direction.

There was movement over there too; those things were rising from underwater and spreading out along both sides of the ship.

Then, a thick column of water, tens of meters in diameter, rose from the distant sea, arced through the air, and slammed into the Star Luo's Soul Guide Shield.

Ripples spread across the surface of the protective shield.

An alarm sounded on the ship.

"Sea Soul Beast attack! Be on alert!"

Someone shouted, and the sound bounced back and forth above the deck.

Bai Yuan had already reached the ship's side.

His gaze fell on the encirclement that was tightening.

On the surrounding sea surface, hundreds of long-bodied sharks are rising from the water.

"What kind of Soul Beast is this?"

"Great Jaws?"

"It seems so. They are all land-based Soul Beast, and I don't recognize many of the Sea Soul Beast!"

They didn't rush to attack, but maintained an encirclement, as if waiting for something.

Gu Yuena had already walked to his side, her gaze fixed on the sharks that were closing in.

A faint elemental glow flickered at her fingertips, but her expression instantly darkened.

"The Demon Soul Great White Shark was once proud to be the mount of the First Generation Sea God!"

"It's a disgrace to them!"

"Bring on more, watch me slaughter all these traitors!"

Ye Xinglan also stood on the other side of the ship's railing, her long sword already drawn and held in her hand.

Tang Wulin and several other Shrek Academy students had also gathered on the deck.

The water column continued to impact the Soul Guide Shield, creating ripples that spread across its surface.

"Prepare for the enemy!"

No, it's not just ordinary Soul Beast!

Look over there, a huge shadow is appearing on the water's surface, and it looks several times larger than an ordinary great white shark!

"Careful!"
