Protect Sister!

This statement is a declaration, a conclusion, and is beyond question.

He didn't look at anyone, as if he were simply declaring a predetermined fact to the void.

Her gaze slowly rose, sweeping over Bi Ji and Zi JI. Her eyes were calm and undisturbed, yet contained an unparalleled will.

"Bi Ji, Zi JI."

The two female Ferocious Beast who were named instantly stiffened. Bi Ji's gentle face showed absolute obedience, while Zi JI's cold and beautiful face was also full of solemnity.

"Protect him."

Gu Yuena's voice remained calm, yet it carried a weight that seemed to decide her fate.

"Protect their growth and maintain connections."

The words were concise yet clearly conveyed the order.

From this moment on, Bi Ji and Zi JI, the two Ferocious Beasts in the Core Circle of Star Dou Forest, the Emerald Swan and the Hell Demon Dragon King, will become Lin Xia's guardians and liaisons.

This is not only a guarantee of Lin Xia's safety, but also a deeper meaning: it confirms Lin Xia's core position as a "future ally" and formally and closely establishes the connection between the Star Dou Forest and Lin Xia through these two heavyweight figures.

Qian Daoliu's expression instantly became extremely complicated.

He looked at Gu Yuena, then at Bi Ji and Zi JI beside Lin Xia.

The auras of the two Ferocious Beasts were incredibly powerful; either one alone could cause a massive upheaval in the human world.

Should they be assigned to protect Lin Xia closely?

What does this mean?

This means that Lin Xia's safety level has reached a height that even he can hardly reach, and it also means that the "Star Dou Mark" on Lin Xia has deepened, which can even be said to place him under the wings of the Star Dou Core.

This is certainly a huge guarantee of security, but it is also an invisible bond.

He remained silent, his gaze finally turning questioningly to Lin Xia and Bibi Dong.

Especially when it came to Bibi Dong, the meaning in her eyes was quite clear.

You are the Pope, Lin Xia's nominal teacher, and the controller of the Spirit Hall. This matter is of great importance, concerning the fate of the Holy Son and the future attitude of the Spirit Hall. Your decision is required.

Bibi Dong felt Qian Daoliu's gaze, and also felt Gu Yuena's seemingly calm yet supremely majestic presence.

Her stunningly beautiful face, the cold mask long since removed, now held an unprecedented solemnity.

She looked at Gu Yuena, and the power displayed by the Silver Dragon King made her realize that any resistance or refusal was meaningless and could bring unpredictable consequences.

More importantly, Lin Xia and Star Dou's "strange friendship" seems to have become a fait accompli, and Sheer Force severing ties might backfire.

Her purple eyes flickered slightly. Instead of making a decision for Lin Xia directly, she turned her gaze gently to her disciple, her voice carrying a rare implication of completely entrusting the choice to her.

"Xiao Xia, this matter... concerns you personally. What are your thoughts?"

She was reminding Lin Xia that this was his path, and he needed to make his own choices and bear the consequences.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lin Xia.

Gu Yuena looked at him calmly with her silver eyes, waiting for his response.

Bi Ji's emerald eyes held a gentle and encouraging light.

Deep within Zi JI's cold purple eyes, there was also a trace of absolute obedience and scrutiny towards her the Master's decision.

Qian Daoliu's eyes were complex, carrying the worry of an elder and a hint of expectation.

Bibi Dong's gaze was full of trust, completely entrusting the decision to him.

Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and other Ferocious Beast also stared in silence.

The pressure is immense, but it is also accompanied by unprecedented opportunities.

Lin Xia's heart pounded powerfully in his chest. He quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Accepting this offer means gaining two super bodyguards and a powerful ally in Star Dou, significantly increasing his safety. It will also make acquiring resources in Star Dou and communicating with Gu Yuena incredibly convenient in the future. For someone who urgently needs to grow and resolve various potential crises, this is an irresistible Captivate.

However, this also means that his identity as the "Holy Son of the Spirit Hall" will become more complicated, and his connection with Star Dou will be deeper, which may lead to suspicion and turmoil within the Spirit Hall and even the entire continent.

Reject?

Having witnessed Gu Yuena's power and the terror of the source of Pollution Source, refusing this protection and contact would be tantamount to cutting off one's own arm, and might even anger the unfathomable Silver Dragon King before them.

The pros and cons are clear, and the answer is almost obvious.

Moreover, he felt no ill will towards Bi Ji's gentleness, Zi JI's cold beauty, or even Gu Yuena's aloof and mysterious temperament; on the contrary, he had the unique exploratory desire of a transmigrator.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, met Gu Yuena's deep silver eyes, and revealed a bright smile with youthful sincerity and a hint of cunning on his face, speaking earnestly and loudly.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Sister Gu Yuena!"

The moment the word "sister" was uttered, the air seemed to freeze!

Qian Daoliu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's purple eyes.

Di Tian's dragon whiskers seemed to move slightly even without wind.

Xiong Jun's eyes widened in surprise, while Scarlet King's three heads tilted to the side at the same time.

The branches and leaves of the Ten Thousand Demon King ceased swaying.

Bi Ji's gentle smile froze on her face for the first time, her emerald eyes filled with disbelief.

Zi JI's cold and beautiful face Ice Seal instantly. A sharp, cold light flashed in her purple eyes, which then turned into extreme astonishment and confusion, as if she had heard the most absurd title in the world.

How dare they address the supreme Master of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, as... "elder sister"?!

This is utterly... audacious!

What utterly reckless...!

Gu Yuena herself, her silver eyes that seemed to hold the stars, flickered slightly the moment Lin Xia finished speaking.

A tiny, almost Frisk ripple spread across the depths of that "starry sky".

That wasn't anger, it was more like... pure confusion?

For billions of years, no living being, human or Soul Beast, has ever dared to address her with such an intimate, even slightly frivolous, title.

This was completely beyond her comprehension, just like when she first saw the Pollution Source; it was an "anomaly" that had never been recorded in her vast memory.

She tilted her head slightly, her silver hair gliding across her perfect face, her gaze falling on Lin Xia's young face, which wore a sincere smile and showed no fear.

The intimacy in that "sister" was so natural, devoid of any disrespect, instead carrying a peculiar sense of trust and... belonging?

This feeling... is very unfamiliar.

Gu Yuena ultimately said nothing.

There was no scolding, no correction, and not even the slightest emotional fluctuation quickly subsided, restoring that timeless calm and profundity.

It was as if Lin Xia had only said something insignificant.

Her silence was itself a form of acquiescence, an invisible indulgence.

Seeing that Gu Yuena didn't react, Lin Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had made the right bet.

He immediately turned to Bi Ji and Zi JI, who were still frozen in shock, his smile growing even brighter, radiating the sunshine unique to young people and a touch of ingratiation.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Sister Bi Ji and Sister Zi JI!" His tone was equally natural, as if it were only natural.

"Elder sister?!"
