If Auntie Ruona really wants to thank me, why don't you spar with me instead?

"How dare they? How did it get this dirty!"

Lin Yuan found a towel, scrubbed hard a few times, then sprayed on detergent several times. Only after he had wiped it spotlessly clean did he finally feel comfortable again.

Perhaps it was because he had been cultivating Shinra Tensei and constantly paying attention to the finer details, but Lin Yuan had actually developed mysophobia!

He truly could not tolerate even the slightest speck of dirt in his eyes.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang from the door.

Lin Yuan opened the door.

The first thing that entered his sight was a woman with silver hair, an exquisitely beautiful face, and an apparent age of about twenty-something. And the one whose hand she was holding was naturally Lan Xuanyu.

"Bro, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Nana..."

"Wait!"

Before Lan Xuanyu could finish, Lin Yuan cut him off sharply. His gaze fell on a tiny patch of black on the right side of Lan Xuanyu's collar.

Lin Yuan took a tissue from his pocket, removed it, and threw it into the trash can. Only then did he let out a long breath and say with a cheerful smile, "All right, it's fine now. Come in and talk."

"Mm..."

Lan Xuanyu froze for a moment but did not pursue it. Holding Nana's hand, he walked inside.

The moment he arrived, Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up slightly. Clean. It was simply too clean. It could practically be described as spotless.

Although Lin Yuan usually cleaned the house too, it had never been as clean as it was today.

Lan Xuanyu held Gu Yuena's hand and sat down on the sofa.

"Teacher Nana, this is Big Brother Lin Yuan, the one I told you about on Tiandou Planet. Bro is amazing. When I awakened my martial soul before, I felt awful, and it was all thanks to him that I got through it."

"And the Rasengan you praised, Teacher Nana, was also something Big Brother taught me."

"Mm-hmm." Gu Yuena gently stroked Lan Xuanyu's head, then nodded to Lin Yuan.

"Hello."

Nana nodded to Lin Yuan, and when those purple eyes looked at him, they were much kinder than before.

At first, in the mall on Tiandou Planet, when she had accidentally encountered Lan Xuanyu, she had sensed a special bond between herself and him.

It was as though there was a connection in their bloodline. When she heard that someone had interfered with Lan Xuanyu's bloodline during his martial soul awakening, Nana had instinctively felt uncomfortable.

But when she probed with her spiritual power, she discovered that two different bloodlines, one gold and one silver, had actually fused together with each other.

Was that reasonable?!

That was not reasonable at all!

Nana could feel that if she were that silver bloodline, she would definitely want to devour the gold bloodline. The gold bloodline would be the same.

Looking at the gentle warmth in Gu Yuena's calm eyes, Lin Yuan muttered inwardly, Is this what they mean by a mother becoming strong for her child? As long as someone treats her child well, she'll hold goodwill toward that person...

In the original story, on Tiandou Planet, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng held Lan Xuanyu's hand while Gu Yuena watched them from behind. That feeling was inexplicably like a silver-haired losing heroine...

She was practically an empty-nest old dragon!

"Hello, Xuanyu. Hello, Auntie. Come in and talk." Lin Yuan stepped aside.

"Auntie, are you calling me?" Gu Yuena froze.

Only after Lan Xuanyu pulled her over to sit down on the sofa did she come back to herself. Then she heard Lan Xuanyu and Lin Yuan whispering softly, "Bro, isn't it bad for you to call Teacher Nana auntie?"

"What's bad about it?"

"Uh, my mom gets really angry when people call her auntie."

"...Weren't you the one who told me this auntie doesn't even know how long she's been alive? What, am I supposed to call her grandma?"

Lan Xuanyu: ...

"It's fine, Xuanyu. It's only a form of address." Gu Yuena did not dwell on it. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuan and asked seriously, "Can you tell me how you stabilized Xuanyu's bloodline?"

"It wasn't that hard, I guess. I just appeared there, and then those two dragons settled down."

"Mm. As expected, it's just as I thought."

Gu Yuena nodded in deep agreement.

"When I saw you just now, I felt the same kind of closeness I feel with Xuanyu, something that comes from the bloodline. I think those two bloodlines probably felt the same way I did."

"A feeling of closeness?"

Looking at Gu Yuena, who had begun filling in the blanks on her own, Lin Yuan immediately grew curious. After all, the reason he had stabilized the little Dragon God's bloodline was not simply because the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings got excited when they saw him. More importantly, it had been because of the Voice of the Stars.

"What does it feel like exactly?"

"Mm... I can't really say." Gu Yuena shook her head. "I've forgotten a lot of things now."

Lin Yuan:...

Damn it, cutting yourself off halfway like that?

Still, judging from Gu Yuena's words and reaction just now, I could make a guess. Could it be the attraction from the Dragon God bloodline in them?

As everyone knew, the higher one's level was, the deeper one's perception of the universe became, and gravity was one of the most important of the four fundamental forces that made up the universe. Could it be some kind of innate affection?

But that made no sense either.

In the original work, when the Dragon God tried to ascend to a Divine Star, hadn't he been schemed against by the laws of the universe and ended up with his family destroyed and the dragons dead? The Silver Dragon King should have inherited that blood feud.

Could it be that Gravity was Gravity, and the laws of the universe were the laws of the universe, and the two had nothing to do with each other?

But that contradicted what Gu Yuena had said.

Lin Yuan thought for a long time and still came up with no answer. Inwardly, he grumbled.

What am I, some walking trap for the Gold and Silver Dragon King? Oh, no, a Dragon God trap.

Lin Yuan said nothing. He picked up the Federation History on the table again and began flipping through it. Lan Xuanyu and Gu Yuena did not speak either, and the atmosphere fell silent just like that.

Suddenly, Gu Yuena happened to see one of the pages Lin Yuan was turning to in Federation History. When she saw the words, "Saved Shrek from disaster, Lord of its Revival: Tang Wulin"...

Shared lord of Soul Beasts... Gu Yuena... Silver Dragon Wulin... Golden Dragon Moon Words...

When Gu Yuena saw that passage, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through her mind.

"That book of yours... ngh..."

Gu Yuena's head ached as if it were splitting open. She let out a faint groan, swayed, and slid down from the sofa.

"Teacher Nana, what's wrong?!" Lan Xuanyu immediately ran over to Nana, his face full of anxiety.

Gu Yuena shook her head and murmured to herself, "I'm fine, but I seem to... seem to have forgotten something very important."

"Ah, what is it?" Lan Xuanyu hurriedly asked.

Gu Yuena said nothing, only shaking her head.

Lan Xuanyu helped Gu Yuena back onto the sofa. After a few minutes, Gu Yuena finally recovered. Her face was no longer pale, but her eyes were filled with confusion as she murmured to herself, "What kind of book is this? I keep feeling that the contents of this book are very important to me."

"Ah, this book? I'm using it to learn about history. Uncle Ye found it for me. Auntie, do you want to read it?" Lin Yuan waved Federation History a little.

Gu Yuena shook her head, her brows knitting slightly.

"Forget it. I don't want to know. The contents inside will definitely make me suffer. I feel like things are pretty good the way they are now."

Lin Yuan:...

Six.

Tang Fifty, you'd better find a way yourself.

He remembered that in the original work, the spiritual body of Di Tian, who had sacrificed himself into Lan Xuanyu's mind, immediately dropped to his knees the moment he saw Gu Yuena.

Di Tian said he was very happy. He had found the future Dragon God, and had seen that the lord he respected most was still alive. He had originally been just about to joyfully report to his lord on all the diligent work he had done over the past ten thousand years.

Only for Gu Yuena's single line, "Forget it, I don't want to be a Soul Beast. I want to be human," to leave Di Tian completely silent.

This time, Lin Yuan also experienced a bit of Di Tian's helplessness. This book had indeed been placed out by Lin Yuan just now, precisely to stimulate Gu Yuena a little and see whether she could recall anything.

But seeing Gu Yuena's refusal, Lin Yuan immediately dismissed that idea.

Gu Yuena's stubbornness was famous.

Wouldn't that be actively making things harder for himself? In any case, she would remember sooner or later!

As for helping Tang Wulin recover his memories... that carried an even greater risk. If he helped Tang Wulin recall things right to his face now, under that intense stimulation, Tang Wulin might fail to suppress the Golden Dragon King, and the Golden Dragon King could awaken directly...

Only after quite a while did Gu Yuena remember the other purpose of this trip and express her gratitude to Lin Yuan.

Gu Yuena looked at Lin Yuan, who was wearing slippers, leaning back on the sofa, and reading Federation History with total focus.

Then she remembered the Rasengan he had taught Lan Xuanyu, as well as the bloodline he had helped him stabilize, and her tone could not help softening.

"I truly don't know how I should thank you."

Lin Yuan kept reading as he shook his head.

"I told you, I didn't help Xuanyu because I wanted something in return."

"Then you..."

"But then again."

Lin Yuan suddenly put down Federation History, his entire face filled with sincerity.

"If you insist on thanking me, Auntie, then it's not impossible."

Lan Xuanyu:...

Gu Yuena:...

Gu Yuena asked:

"How do you want to thank me?"

"Auntie, have a match with me."

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Yuena with a beaming smile.

Lan Xuanyu: ?

Gu Yuena: ?
