Xiao Bai, I Brought You a Powerful Tonic! Bai Yuan's Plan!

Bai Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his left hand outstretched, with the Worldbearing Coreflame hovering in his palm.

The golden and black flames intertwined and danced, occasionally emitting a faint buzzing sound.

A tremor that flickers, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, with a certain rhythm.

It's like a beating heart, or something brewing inside it.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of the Core Flame.

Golden flames burned in the void, and an aura of Destruction and rebirth swirled around them.

Since his awakening, the Core Flame has remained quietly within him, never actively disturbing him or responding to him.

Except for the occasional time when he's dragged into Xiao Bai's Remembrance in a fantasy world.

Normally, it's like a silent, warm sun, quietly burning and quietly giving.

But today is different.

After returning from the Spirit Ascension Platform today, the Core Flame has been vibrating, not continuously, but intermittently, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if it has sensed something.

When Bai Yuan looked inward, it calmed down;

He withdrew from the introspection, and it began again.

He opened his eyes, looked at the still-flickering Core Flame in his palm, and frowned slightly.

Was the unusual activity triggered when Tang Wulin approached the Golden Dragon King's power?

Today, when I fought Tang Wulin at the Spirit Ascension Platform, the Core Flame did indeed flicker briefly when Tang Wulin shattered the Golden Dragon King's phantom with a single sword strike.

But that was several hours ago; the battle was long over.

Tang Wulin has been eliminated, but the strange movements of the Core Flame continue.

Bai Yuan stared at the Core Flame, a thought popping into his mind.

Is this thing some kind of "reminiscing" thing?

The Golden Dragon King's power is tyrannical, brutal, and overwhelming; it is the ultimate power inherent in the dragon race.

On some level, the Path of Destruction of the Golden Dragon King and the Worldbearing Coreflame is actually the same.

But to be honest

That's putting on a smug face for the Golden Dragon King!

Not to mention the elbow strike from Old Na.

The Burning Wind are coming; this dimension is probably going to collapse!

I guess they just sensed god-level power.

After all, this Douluo doesn't have any higher levels of power.

Bai Yuan's consciousness sank back into the depths of the Core Flame, his voice very soft, as if he were speaking to someone.

"Xiao Bai, did you sense that power?"

The Core Flame suddenly blazed, the golden flame leaping higher before dimming again.

Bai Yuan waited a moment, but received no further response. The Core Flame resumed its flickering, dimming motion.

It didn't answer, or rather, even if it did, it wouldn't understand.

He regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and looked at the Core Flame in his palm.

The Core Flame remained the same, burning quietly.

The golden warmth, the black silence, the "2" mark still flickering in the firelight.

It's just a little brighter than before.

He had no idea what Core Flame was plotting, nor did he know what Xiao Bai was planning.

But he knew that the Golden Dragon King's power was a catalyst for the Core Flame.

Bai Yuan clenched his fist, gathering the light of the Core Flame in his palm, stood up, and walked to the window.

There was a knock on the door.

You don't need to guess who it is.

At this time, there could be no one else but the Silver Dragon King, who possesses "world-shaking wisdom."

As he slowly walked towards the door, his mind raced through his thoughts.

What's this girl doing here at this hour? Discussing the Golden Dragon King?

Was he trying to find out his attitude towards Tang Wulin? Or was he simply looking for trouble because he couldn't sleep?

No matter what it is, he has to be careful.

Bai Yuan walked to the door but did not open it immediately.

Instead, he cleared his throat, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate laziness and smugness.

"Is it the Stupid Gu Yue?"

The sound outside the door exploded in the silent corridor, crisp and angry.

"You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"

Bai Yuan leaned against the door and laughed.

That's exactly what he was waiting for. Not because he liked hearing Gu Yuena scold him.

It's because this girl only tells the truth when she's extremely angry.

He always had that Bingbing, aloof demeanor; you couldn't get anything out of him.

When she gets anxious, her intelligence and wit will quickly plummet!

He opened the door, Gu Yuena stood there, her long silver hair still a little wet, as if she had just taken a shower.

She wore a light purple cardigan over her white nightgown.

She looked a bit softer than usual.

Her purple eyes were wide open, her lips were pressed into a thin line, and her cheeks still had a faint blush.

"You've come to see me so late, is there something you need?"

Gu Yuena stood at the door, her purple eyes looking at him, her lips moving slightly as if she were choosing her words carefully.

He paused for a moment, his voice somewhat stiff.

"Junior sister came to see you, what's wrong? Are you not allowed?"

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her expression as she tried to maintain the air of "I was just passing by."

The curve of his lips deepened, but his voice carried an undisguised hint of mockery.

"That smile on his face was so ugly, so fake."

Gu Yuena's smile froze on her face.

Bai Yuan didn't give her a chance to react, took a step back, and reached out to grab the doorknob.

"Smack!"

The door closed in front of her.

Clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.

"Thank you for your concern, junior sister. Go back now if you have nothing else to do. Goodnight."

Gu Yuena stood there, her purple eyes wide open, staring intently at the closed door.

She was stunned.

Let's not even talk about him being the Silver Dragon King.

My humanoid appearance isn't ugly by human standards!

She looked down at herself.

She wore a nightgown, a light purple cardigan, and her freshly washed silver hair exuded a delicate fragrance.

What's wrong with her appearance today?

This jerk actually said her smile was ugly?!

Throughout her life, no one has ever dared to tell her to her face that her smile was unpleasant.

Gu Yuena clenched her fists, the Elemental Light at her fingertips gleaming dangerously under the lamplight.

Her long, silver hair swayed slightly in the still air, and the surrounding air temperature began to drop rapidly.

"Bai--Yuan--!"

Gu Yuena's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth. She raised her hand, clenched her fist, and slammed it hard against Bai Yuan's door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking on the door broke the silence of the hallway.

The shockwave caused the Soul Guidance Wall Lamp on the wall to tremble. Gu Yuena's silver hair fluttered slightly in anger, and her purple eyes were filled with rage.

As she pounded on the door, she repeated Bai Yuan's name countless times in her mind.

Dislike her smile? Say she's fake? And she dares to—she even dares to close the door?!

She wanted to show him that the Silver Dragon King was not someone to be trifled with!

She wanted him to open the door, and then she would smile at him in front of him.

Let him see clearly whether her smile is beautiful or not!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking continued, and Gu Yuena's silver hair swayed in the corridor light.

Bai Yuan opened the door, Gu Yuena's fist almost smashed into his chest.

She stood in the doorway, her long silver hair swaying slightly in the corridor light, her purple eyes filled with anger, and her cheeks flushed red with rage.

"Are you trying to die?!"

"Don't you know it's inconsiderate to disturb other people's rest at night?"

Bai Yuan leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, smiling as he watched her without moving.

Gu Yuena was so angry at his nonchalant attitude that she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

His eyes were filled with a furious rage that screamed, "I'll tear you to pieces!"

She took a deep breath, and just as she was about to speak again, a hand landed on her head.

Bai Yuan reached out and ruffled her hair. The silver strands beneath his palm were soft and smooth, carrying a fresh, clean scent. The feel was even better than he had imagined.

Gu Yuena froze, her pupils dilated slightly, her lips parted slightly, and all the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

"What!"

She slapped Bai Yuan's hand away.

Her long silver hair flew in the air as she moved, her face turned red, and her voice rose a few decibels, but with a hint of panic.

Bai Yuan withdrew his hand.

"Tell me what's wrong, or I'll close the door again."

Gu Yuena bit her lip, shifting her gaze from Bai Yuan's face to the floor of the corridor.

There was a moment of silence.

"We'll go back two days later... and play a little longer."

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her long silver hair falling from both sides, obscuring her expression.

Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her pale purple cardigan, as if trying to hide something.

"Oh--"

Is this a prelude to attacking Tang Wulin?

Bai Yuan silently added a sentence in his mind.

"Let's play for two more days" or "Let's stay a little longer" are all just excuses.

This girl wants to stay in Eastsea City and find an opportunity to get close to Tang Wulin.

The inheritor of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was, to her, a walking treasure.

He had already figured it out; from the moment she rushed out of the Spirit Ascension Platform to save Tang Wulin, he knew this girl wouldn't let it go.

Gu Yuena raised her head and met Bai Yuan's seemingly smiling eyes, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

This stinky human, has he guessed something again?

Do you agree or disagree?

Gu Yuena's voice returned to its usual cool and aloof tone, but the fleeting hint of guilt in her eyes did not escape Bai Yuan's notice.

Bai Yuan looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Sure, I'll stay for two more days. I'll talk to the teacher anyway."

Gu Yuena was taken aback, not expecting him to agree so readily.

Bai Yuan reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Alright, go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Gu Yuena looked at him, her lips moving slightly.

In the end, he just hummed in agreement and turned to walk towards his room.

He took two steps, then stopped.

With his back to Bai Yuan, he spoke very softly.

Thanks.

When that smile appeared on his lips, Bai Yuan already had a plan in mind.

Gu Yuena believed that with the disappearance of the Divine Realm, there were no more obstacles in the world, but he knew...

The three Divine Sense Imprint that Tang San left in Tang Wulin's body are the truly insurmountable barrier.

That was the God King's final protection of his bloodline, a ultimate killing move designed for the Abyssal Sage King and for any being that attempted to harm his son.

Although the Silver Dragon King was powerful, he could not escape unscathed from Divine Sense counterattack from God King level being.

Gu Yuena's operation was destined to fail, and even Zi JI and those Ferocious Beast might perish in this battle.

How can I use this opportunity to gain some benefits for myself?

Once Tang San's Divine Sense Imprint is triggered, it will release extremely pure God King level energy.

Even a trace of that level of power would be a great tonic for the Worldbearing Coreflame.

If he could absorb some of the divine essence from Tang San's Divine Sense Imprint, would the awakening of the Core Flame be accelerated?

Will the engravings change?

Will the Twelve Laws unlock new abilities?

Bai Yuan looked down at the Core Flame in his palm, the golden and black flames burning quietly.

"Xiao Bai, I've brought you something very nourishing!"
