Gu Yuena

The moment he entered, Yu Wuyi's attention was drawn to the sight before him.

Countless stars shimmered in every direction, stretching beyond the limits of sight.

Though solid ground could be felt beneath his feet, the ground itself was nowhere to be seen.

If it had been a native of the Douluo Continent, they might have been left speechless by the spectacle.

But to Yu Wuyi, the scene was not unfamiliar.

It was simply an entire starry sky.

Firefly was even more familiar with it. She had traveled across the stars countless times.

At the center of the starry sky, a graceful figure waited quietly for their arrival.

Her silver hair, gleaming like crystal, had already revealed her identity.

Seven spheres of light in different colors circled around her, each corresponding to one of the seven great attributes of the Douluo world.

With a wave of her slender hand, Yu Wuyi felt space shift, and the distance between them rapidly closed.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived before her.

To fold space directly—she truly deserved to be called the Silver Dragon King who controlled the seven elements.

Still, Yu Wuyi had not expected her to appear in human form.

He had originally thought he would see the Silver Dragon King's true body.

"Human, I have already watched your battle with Di Tian."

"I want to know where you came from."

The Silver Dragon King's voice was ethereal and clear, yet utterly lifeless, carrying only the faintest trace of emotion.

She had yet to split off the secondary personality known as Na'er, and she had remained in seclusion all this time.

As a result, she possessed only the indifference inherent to dragonkind.

"Before asking someone a question, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Or does that concept simply not exist in your mind?"

Yu Wuyi smiled faintly.

From the Silver Dragon King's question alone, he could tell that she possessed an innate arrogance.

Rather than asking a question, her tone sounded more like an order.

For soul beasts, that was only natural. The Silver Dragon King was their sovereign, after all.

There was nothing wrong with her speaking in a commanding tone.

But Yu Wuyi was not one of her subjects. He had come here to discuss business; the two of them stood as equals.

Bloodline suppression had no effect on him.

Having been rebuffed, the Silver Dragon King fell into brief silence, seemingly pondering the logic behind it.

Whenever she gave an order in the past, Di Tian would obediently carry it out for her.

This was the first time she had ever encountered rejection.

She was not embarrassed or angry. Rather, she was thinking about what was different about this situation.

"I am the Silver Dragon King."

"As for my name, you may call me Gu Yuena."

After some thought, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, arrived at this answer.

Yu Wuyi was somewhat surprised. He had thought Gu Yuena was merely a name she had picked at random.

Now, it seemed that she had possessed this name long ago.

"My name is Yu Wuyi. I come from Wuyi All-Purpose House."

"I came this time solely for publicity."

Gu Yuena sank into thought.

"Publicity?"

She could not understand what those words meant. Publicity? Publicize what?

"Why does she seem a little slow?"

Firefly whispered quietly into Yu Wuyi's ear.

"Her true body is the Silver Dragon King. She is, in a sense, the master of all soul beasts—their sovereign."

"A sovereign mostly communicates with subordinates through orders."

"Coupled with her long years in seclusion and lack of experience communicating with others..."

"Her mind has remained stuck at this stage."

Yu Wuyi leaned close to Firefly's ear and whispered back.

Firefly nodded in sudden realization, the itch in her ears making her pretty face flush slightly.

Ways of communication... experience...

Gu Yuena heard every word of their whispered conversation.

This entire space was an extension of her abilities, so such little actions naturally could not escape her notice.

"That's right, it's for promotion."

Yu Wuyi pulled out a pink-to-blue gradient card from who knew where. The two large words "Wuyi" took up the front of the card.

Below the large words were two smaller lines containing the detailed address of Wuyi All-Purpose House.

The back contained the rules and requirements of Wuyi All-Purpose House.

Gu Yuena took the card with her slender hand, the curiosity in her eyes completely undisguised.

"I wonder if you can read human writing?"

After all, Gu Yuena had been in seclusion all this time. What if she did not recognize the words on it?

Then wouldn't the card have been given for nothing?

With a wave of her delicate hand, Gu Yuena put away the card and nodded.

"Can you answer my question now?"

Yu Wuyi froze at those words.

Only then did he realize she was referring to her very first question.

Namely, where he came from.

"Since you watched my battle with Di Tian, you should have heard our conversation too, right?"

Gu Yuena shook her head. That place had not been within her space.

She could only see their battle and could not hear their conversation.

She could have done so by leaving this space and using her spatial abilities again.

But she would never do that unless Di Tian's life was in danger.

"If you didn't hear our conversation..."

"Then how did you know I wasn't from this world?"

Yu Wuyi was quite curious.

Gu Yuena replied as if it were only natural:

"The humans of this world are constrained by the rules. Even reaching Di Tian's level is difficult for them."

"There are only two ways to break those rules."

"Receive help from the God Realm, or obtain power from beyond this world."

"I did not sense the aura of the God Realm from you."

"So you could only be the second kind."

This line of reasoning opened Yu Wuyi's eyes—not because it was particularly brilliant or anything.

Rather, the Silver Dragon King was smarter than he had expected.

She had looked rather dazed just now, but the moment something within her field of knowledge came up, she immediately became professional.

And Yu Wuyi had a feeling.

Gu Yuena's dazed appearance was deliberately put on.

Although she had yet to become familiar with human emotions, judging from what she had displayed just now—

Whether she could even keep Di Tian in line was another matter entirely.

Di Tian might be loyal, but he would not casually obey the words of an immature master.

Nor would he have so easily allowed the two of them into this space.

What if his master was deceived?

Though he had thought so much about it, Yu Wuyi did not particularly care.

Overwhelming strength truly brought far too great an advantage.

Before absolute power, any scheme seemed pale and powerless.

"Your reasoning is quite good. I really am from another world."

Yu Wuyi confirmed her guess.

The light in Gu Yuena's eyes visibly wavered, but she immediately suppressed it.

Still using that emotionless voice, she asked:

"Then which world do you come from?"

At that question, the corners of Yu Wuyi's mouth curved upward.

Looking at Gu Yuena's flawless face, he said with interest:

"This question is rather sensitive."

"But if you really want to know."

"The answer was on that card just now."

He could now be certain that Gu Yuena's dazed appearance had been an act.

Although Gu Yuena reacted quickly, Yu Wuyi still caught that fleeting change in her expression.
