Gu Yuena's Mouth Was Babbling

That furious roar gave everyone present a huge fright.

Especially the Tiandou Dean, caught in the middle.

He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He knew Di Tian rejected Nana, but he could not defy orders from above.

All he could do was say pitifully:

"Senior Beast God."

"This junior does not want this either."

"But this is an order from the Federation. This junior has no choice but to carry it out."

The Tiandou Dean was not the only one feeling stifled. Gu Yuena, who had been sent here, was as well.

She had originally been in quite a good mood.

She could meet an old acquaintance and live on Elf Planet, where the natural environment was better.

But Di Tian's rejection made her extremely unhappy.

Ever since she had escaped from the ten-thousand-year ice, there had never been anyone who did not like her. At Tiandou Academy of Sciences, countless men who had seen her only once had tried to pursue her.

There were even women who had fallen for her.

She was loved by all who saw her, like flowers blooming wherever she went.

Except for Di Tian.

Gu Yuena had never possessed a particularly good temper, not to mention that Di Tian had repeatedly met her with cold words.

"If you won't let me stay here, then I'll insist on staying!"

"Who told you to keep staring at my chest on Tiandou Planet with that longing look on your face?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being able to control your eyes back then!"

The moment those words came out, the entire crowd erupted in commotion.

On the surface, it sounded like front-page gossip about the king of soul beasts.

With the underlying mindset of Douluo Continent, once a scandalous romance was involved, no one bothered considering any other reasons.

They all stared toward the depths of the dense forest in astonishment.

These favored daughters of the heavens from the Federation's great families all felt immense pressure.

Was Di Tian really that popular?

A silver-haired beauty had traveled all the way to Elf Planet to find him.

Even after being rejected, she still insisted on staying.

Look, just look.

What had he done to that poor girl?

Although their guesses were a hundred and eight thousand miles from the truth, they all felt their deductions were entirely correct.

At this moment, it was not only the humans present whose guesses differed vastly from reality. The soul beasts and elves within the forest were equally confused.

The Four Vajras, the Eight Beauties.

The Elf Queen and the Tiger King, Lan Hudie, did not know Nana, but the other six great ferocious beasts all knew her.

"She is... the Lord!"

"What is going on?"

"Wasn't Di Tian the one who respected the Lord most? How could he encounter the Lord and not bring her back?"

"And even... even... speak to her so harshly."

They all wondered whether some deity had dragged them into an illusion.

Only Zi Ji thought a little further.

Her delicate brows drew together. "There's something else. Why was Di Tian staring at the Lord's chest?!"

The beasts wanted to go meet Gu Yuena, but seeing the strange atmosphere between Di Tian and Gu Yuena, they decided to meet Di Tian first.

At that moment, Bi Ji was physically closest to Di Tian.

After hesitating again and again, she asked:

"Is the Lord's... chest pretty?"

That single question nearly caused Di Tian's spiritual composure to collapse, his soul beast embryo—rebuilding itself through transformation—trembling without end.

He was truly breaking down. Completely breaking down!

Couldn't they ask something constructive for once?!

Was he looking at her chest?!

He was looking at the Dragon God Core! At a super-divine artifact!

Besides.

When had he kept staring? He had only lingered for two extra seconds.

Gu Yuena's little mouth kept chattering.

She had practically made him sound like a pervert.

However, Di Tian did not explain things to Bi Ji right away.

Time was tight, and the task was urgent.

There was no time to explain to Bi Ji first. He had to drive Gu Yuena out of the forest.

His voice rang out from the forest once more:

"Tell the head of the Dou Tian Department."

"Don't think that putting a layer of Federation red-label top-secret files over it means I won't know who was pulling the strings."

"If Gu Yuena dares take even one step into the Soul Beast Forest, he will bear the consequences himself."

"I know every last one of his dirty deeds."

"The character 'Saint.'"

"Tell him that, and he'll understand."

The Tiandou Dean obediently made a satellite call. There was no helping it—he was just a minor dean who could not afford to offend anyone.

Like a put-upon young wife.

He had to deal with the in-laws above and look after the children below.

He felt utterly wronged.

"Minister..." After the satellite call connected, he relayed Di Tian's words.

Until he mentioned the character "Saint."

On the other end of the satellite call, Qiangu Qingfeng's breathing immediately grew rapid.

"Saint" referred to the Holy Spirit Cult.

And Qiangu Qingfeng himself was the last cult leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The direct reason his family had fallen into decline ten thousand years ago was because their cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult had been exposed. He absolutely could not allow this identity to be revealed.

After a long silence, he let out a lengthy sigh.

"Fine."

"Agree to his terms."

"Nana will not be allowed to enter the Soul Beast Forest."

"Then send Nana to the Elf Branch Academy."

"A true god is stationed there and can keep an eye on Nana."

"Arranging for her to stay on Elf Planet is also the best choice. No true gods are permanently stationed anywhere else."

The Tiandou Dean nodded calmly on the surface, but turbulent waves had already risen in his heart.

For the second time, the Federation had bowed its head to the Beast God.

It was simply unheard of in his lifetime.

The Federation's second capitulation was also broadcast live, leaving the young men and women present utterly incredulous.

Was this still the world they knew?

Gu Yuena, who had been clamoring about staying just moments ago, also left unwillingly.

Because she had truly sensed the gaze of a true god-level powerhouse.

In her amnesiac state, she was unwilling to fight others unless absolutely necessary. In her hazy memories, she seemed to have promised someone that she would "not kill humans who should not be killed, and be a pure woman."

Besides.

A monk might run, but the temple could not.

Sooner or later, Di Tian would enter the Elf Branch Academy.

She could wait there for him.

With a sway of her figure and a toss of her silver hair, she turned and left.

Where she had stood.

After a brief silence.

The group of young men and women surged forward in a frenzy, scrambling to pay.

"It's only eight hundred and eighty thousand Federation Coins."

"Not expensive, not expensive."

Compared to Di Tian, who was in such high demand, eighty-eight Federation Coins truly wasn't expensive.

Meanwhile.

Inside the cave dwelling.

The hardship and bitterness that had frosted Di Tian's temples earlier finally began to fade. As long as Gu Yuena didn't come in, it was fine.

Besides not wanting to serve this ancestor of his, what worried him most was that familiar surroundings, old acquaintances, or the discovery of the Dragon God Egg's aura might trigger her and restore her memories.

All in all, it would be best if Gu Yuena, like in the original timeline, remained amnesiac for eighteen or nineteen years.

An amnesiac Gu Yuena was easier to control.

It could leave him enough time to develop.

With his deep foundations, there would be no bottlenecks below the god realm.

Once he successfully took human form, he could undergo the tribulation and become a god within ten years.

Di Tian then placed a satellite call.

"Beep beep beep..."

The satellite communicator connected quickly, and Le Qingling's voice came through.

"Boss!"

"You finally decided to call!"

"Let me tell you!"

"Those love songs you sent were absolutely amazing!"

"Sung by Tang Le, the albums sold like crazy!"

"Daily sales exceeded a hundred million!"

"We can hold live concerts soon!"

"We're making a fortune!" The young girl chattered away like a magpie.

However, compared to the massive amount of Federation Coins, Di Tian cared more about Tang Le.

"Xiao Le."

"Follow the plan. You won't be short on money."

"Keep holding the concerts, but don't come to Elf Planet without my notice."

"Elf Planet hasn't been peaceful these past few years."

Le Qingling paused for a moment before muttering, "An Elf Planet communication number."

"Right."

"Boss."

"Who exactly are you?"

"You'll find out someday." Di Tian spoke sternly in his tone as her boss. "Remember what I said."

"Every month, I'll send you a fixed playlist with no fewer than ten thousand songs each time."

The moment she heard about the playlist, Le Qingling's attention was immediately drawn away.

"Okay!"

"Boss!"

"I understand!"

Compared to Gu Yuena, who never stopped talking, Tang Le, the singer, was much more obedient.

He was also easier to restrict.

After ending the call, the Eight Guardians and Four Beauties had all gathered inside the cave dwelling.

They all stared wide-eyed at Di Tian, their little gazes filled with curiosity.

Di Tian helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead and struck first:

"First, let me clarify something."

"Gu Yuena and I absolutely, absolutely do not have any shocking special relationship!"
