Reaching an Agreement with Na'er! God-Level External Soul Bone [Please Keep Reading]

"Gu Yuena?"

"That's a beautiful name. I understand."

Watching the little girl seriously state her name, Jiang Yan's lips curled up as he gently rubbed her hair.

"In my eyes."

"You will always be Na'er."

He spoke softly.

"Of course."

Gu Yuena giggled, starlight flashing in her eyes. In her eyes, Brother would always be Brother.

Her...

Most beloved brother.

"Di Tian, tomorrow morning, formally pay them a visit. Tell them that Na'er has awakened her martial soul, and let them know that Na'er has a powerful 'family' behind her."

"Do you understand?"

At that moment, Jiang Yan turned and glanced at Di Tian.

Na'er's aura was far stronger than usual now. Her bloodline had likely awakened. On Douluo Continent, there had never been a case of someone awakening a martial soul on their own.

Di Tian's arrival gave them not only a reason to make an appearance, but as a top-tier powerhouse of considerable strength, he could also show himself before Grandfather and Uncle.

If anything happened in the future, compared with Xue'er and Dong'er stepping forward, he was clearly more suitable.

"Yes, my lord! It is getting late, so this subordinate will not disturb you and milady any longer."

Di Tian immediately agreed. As he spoke, he wisely did not linger, vanishing in a flash.

"Brother, aren't you curious that I'm actually the Silver Dragon King? Did you figure it out long ago?"

After Di Tian, that third wheel, left, Gu Yuena looked at the handsome youth beside her and asked softly.

"Perhaps? After all, my martial soul is the Dragon God. Ever since Aolai City, I sensed a familiar aura from you. I didn't know you were the Silver Dragon King, but I knew..."

"We would be family for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Yan smiled, his answer somewhat vague.

He could not exactly tell Na'er that from the moment he brought her home, he had already known, could he?

"And now, we have the goal of reviving the dragon clan. Speaking of which, we'll have to work hard together."

Jiang Yan smiled gently and looked at the girl watching him, his tone solemn.

The Dragon God and the Silver Dragon King.

They had to keep striving onward.

"Mhm! I will."

"But compared to that..."

Gu Yuena's expression was firm, but as she spoke, a special anticipation appeared on her little face.

"Before reviving the dragon clan, what I'm actually looking forward to more is..."

"The time I'll spend going to school with Brother."

She blinked and spoke softly.

"Hm?"

Hearing that, especially as he watched the girl's shining eyes, Jiang Yan seemed to see that glittering white label again—love-struck fool.

But it did not matter. He would handle it.

With him around, the dragon clan had a promising future!

"Na'er, let me see you release your martial soul."

"I want to see what form the Silver Dragon King martial soul..."

"Takes."

Jiang Yan came back to his senses and said expectantly.

"Okay."

Gu Yuena obediently answered. As she spoke, multicolored radiance rose around her body—the power of the elements.

Though it was still far inferior to Jiang Yan's, it possessed an ultimate quality. Then, the purple light in the girl's eyes intensified. Behind her, a magnificent silver Dragon King emerged from the colorful glow, beautiful and elegant.

The incarnation of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King!

"They say that the Light Goddess Butterfly Tang Wutong possessed ten thousand years ago is acknowledged as the most beautiful martial soul on Douluo Continent, but I think... before my Na'er, it would surely pale in comparison."

Jiang Yan did not spare his praise as he smiled.

"It's not that amazing!"

"If we're talking about beauty, obviously Brother is the one who..."

Gu Yuena blushed shyly. As she shook her head, she murmured softly.

It was only that the word beautiful sounded a little strange when used on Brother. Otherwise, she truly felt that he was the most beautiful person!

"..."

"I didn't expect things to go even more smoothly than I imagined."

"Na'er doesn't have to leave."

Not long after, Jiang Yan returned to his bedroom. Thinking of the night's developments, he was naturally in a very good mood.

Na'er now clearly understood her identity as the Silver Dragon King and had even reached an agreement with him. There would be no more heartbreaking matters like splitting into separate bodies in the future.

An alliance was not really important. More than that, he was happy about her decision.

At the very least, she was still herself.

And Di Tian... the Star Dou Forest Beast God who had devoted his life to the dragon clan and guarded the Silver Dragon King faithfully for ten thousand years had finally offered him his loyalty as well.

At the same time, the system's voice rang out in Jiang Yan's mind:

[Congratulations, host, for completing a new life achievement.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a new achievement: Lord of the Beast Clan.]

[With the recognition of Di Tian, the strongest of the beast clan, you have become the new Lord of the Beast Clan. This is your destined fate and what you deserve.]

[Achievement reward: Increased affinity with nature! Increased affinity with the beast clan! Increased affinity with plants... and one randomly obtained soul bone from a soul beast that died naturally.]

"Hm?"

"Lord of the Beast Clan, the affinity boosts are fine."

"But a soul beast soul bone from random natural death..."

"There's actually something like that?"

Jiang Yan looked doubtful. Wasn't this the rhetoric Shrek Academy used to deceive itself and flaunt its righteousness? Yet in the next moment, his expression abruptly turned serious—

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Ultimate Power: Golden Saint Dragon King Lu Li Twin Claw Soul Bone (External Soul Bone).]

[The pinnacle of strength, unmatched since ancient times.]

[A soul bone dropped by the fallen Golden Saint Dragon King during the Dragon God War. It can only be absorbed by a possessor of a Dragon King martial soul. Due to the passage of time, its divine power has dissipated, so absorption will not increase energy.]

[Age: God-level.]

[Detected that the current soul bone matches the host's absorption traits. Current soul bone capacity: zero. Absorb?]

[Current other soul bone reserves: Hundred-Year Luo Sanpao Buttock Soul Bone (External Soul Bone), Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone.]

"...?"

"How many years old is this soul bone?"

Jiang Yan's expression instantly grew grave.

He admitted that he had underestimated the system. When it said natural death, it meant truly natural death!

It had even brought out the soul bone of the fallen Golden Saint Dragon King. This was practically the ancestor of Shrek's soul bones.

"Then..."

"What else is there to say?"

Jiang Yan helplessly swept his gaze over the other two soul bones and chuckled. Then, full of vigor, he summoned his two guardians.

"Xue'er, Dong'er."

"Time to get to work."

"..."

"Dong'er, how many levels do you think Young Master will gain by absorbing this soul bone?"

Not long after, Qian Renxue sat beside him. Watching Jiang Yan absorb the soul bone, she asked with a light smile.

"External soul bones do not increase cultivation by much."

"But it is a god-bestowed soul bone after all..."

"Its strength will definitely be beyond the norm."

Bibi Dong showed no surprise either. Her gentle gaze rested on Jiang Yan as she replied.

That was right, a god-bestowed soul bone.

For their Young Master Jiang Yan, with the Silver Dragon King at his side, let alone a mere god-bestowed soul bone.

"However..."

"While Young Master is absorbing it."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept toward a distant spot, a trace of coldness flashing through her eyes.

Xue'er would not forget someone's earlier attention.

Neither would she.

"..."

Outside the villa, beneath the night sky.

Di Tian stood atop the tallest mountain in the outskirts, gazing up at the heavens.

Tonight's moon was bright, but equally bright were his eyes, which seemed already to have seen the future.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth could not stop rising.

When the reborn Dragon God encountered the Silver Dragon King, with two top-tier gods even following them...

He had never imagined such an excellent beginning.

The dragon clan was destined to be revived in their hands.

This champagne...

He would open it first as a toast!

"This time, the dragon clan will never lose!"

"I, Di Tian, will absolutely not lose!"

Di Tian clenched his fists excitedly.

But at that very moment, an immense pressure descended with a boom. Before he could think further, two divine senses appeared around him in an instant.

"May I ask what guidance the two goddesses have for me?"

Sensing their auras, Di Tian's expression tightened. Then he smiled slightly and respectfully spoke the moment they revealed themselves.

"No guidance."

"Just itching for a fight."

Bibi Dong stepped forward and spoke blandly.

"The Beast God Di Tian was once invincible beneath the heavens. I wonder, how about serving as a sparring partner for the two of us today?"

As her voice fell, the pressure grew even more overwhelming.

At Bibi Dong's side, Qian Renxue said nothing, but moved faster than her. A sword of light formed in her hand, and the coldness in her eyes was unmistakable.

Di Tian was naturally loyal.

But before he had come to Jiang Yan's side, before he knew Jiang Yan possessed the Dragon God bloodline, his intentions might not have been entirely good.

They had only sent their divine senses here. Giving this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King a warning was enough.

"...?"

Di Tian stared blankly at the two women before him. Instinctively, he wanted to flee this place, but before he could move, he discovered that the entire space was already under the control of divine power.

Divine Domain!

Gods were gods. He had no chance of escaping against either one of them, let alone both?

"This isn't funny."

Di Tian's face carried a trace of tragic resolve, but he quickly steadied himself. This was not enough to shake his loyalty.

If this was also his lord's will.

Then he... was willing!

"..."

PS: Na'er will retain her established character, but she is only adorably airheaded before Jiang Yan. At other times, she can be referenced from the original Gu Yue. The Silver Dragon King is still proud. (Serious)

PS2: Golden Saint Dragon King Lu Li: Guh, this is my final strength. Please accept it!
