Old Huo: "Xiao Huo and the Silver Dragon are no help. Looks like I'll have to step in..."

"Ahem..."

Huo Yuhao nearly choked on his own spit. What had Di Tian just said?

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, foremost of Douluo Continent's Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the Beast God with nearly a million years of cultivation, wanted to sacrifice himself to him?

Wait, what...

Love could extend to those close to its object. So could hatred.

Thanks to the Dragon God's outrageous schemes, she, his benevolent self, couldn't explain herself no matter how hard she tried. Add in the outrageous things her future self would do, and she wanted to beat that future self to
