Gu Yue Na'er had lost her memories?
Lin Fan was somewhat bewildered. This Gu Yue Na'er had not split into Gu Yue and Na'er; her original body had directly lost its memories. This was even more serious than in Douluo III.
"Uh, you're actually a Spirit Beast..." Lin Fan looked at Gu Yue Na'er's curious purple eyes, unsure how to explain it to her.
"Lord, could it be that she truly sealed her own power and memories?" After Di Tian regained his senses, he immediately stretched out his hand, and a powerful surge of Soul Power pressure bore down on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was only at innate Rank 10. Even with the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword, there was no way he could withstand such Soul Power pressure. He instantly felt as though a massive boulder had crushed down on him and collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Fan had just taken a Strengthening Pill, pushing his physical strength to its limit. He was not entirely incapable of resisting, and he had already clenched the Iron Man Experience Card in his hand.
The middle-aged Di Tian said murderously, "It's all because of you, you little brat. You brought a powerful human woman here, awakening our lord and interrupting her recovery. You must die..."
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to use the Iron Man Experience Card, Gu Yue Na'er suddenly climbed up, stood in front of him, and cried out in a youthful, innocent voice.
"Who are you? You're not allowed to hurt him..."
"What? Lord..." Knowing that Gu Yue Na'er was extremely fragile right now, Di Tian immediately withdrew the Soul Power pressure. Looking respectfully at the silver-haired, purple-eyed Gu Yue Na'er, he said, "Lord, don't let him deceive you. He is the one who caused you to become like this. Your subordinate will certainly find a way to restore your memories."
The silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl Gu Yue Na'er looked back at Lin Fan, then firmly shouted in a young, pure voice, "What are you talking about? I don't believe you. He was the first person I saw when I woke up. He must be my most important family."
"What, this..." The middle-aged Di Tian clenched his fists in anger, but seeing Gu Yue Na'er as she was now, he did not dare attack again. He feared that the amnesiac Gu Yue Na'er would suffer another shock to her heart. He had always been Gu Yue Na'er's most loyal subordinate.
The next moment, Zi Ji and Xiong Jun also arrived beside Di Tian. Both had taken human form. Zi Ji was a beautiful young woman in purple, who had also appeared in The Legend of the Dragon King and was Di Tian's guide.
Xiong Jun, meanwhile, was a burly man with the build of a tiger and a bear, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"How did the lord become like this?" Zi Ji looked at Gu Yue Na'er, her face full of worry.
The middle-aged Di Tian said solemnly, "This is the lord's original body. To protect us, she lost her power and memories. It is all this child's fault. He brought that powerful human woman in and disturbed the lord. Her old injuries were still far from healed."
"Then what are we waiting for? Kill this boy first, then find a way to restore the lord's memories." Upon hearing this, the formerly gentle-looking Zi Ji's eyes also filled with killing intent.
"No. No matter how many of you there are, I won't allow you to hurt him. He was the first person I saw. He must be my most important family." Gu Yue Na'er looked at the three utterly unfamiliar figures before her. There was a trace of fear in her purple eyes, but she did not retreat.
"Don't worry about that. The lord doesn't understand anything in her current state. We'll kill this boy first..." Just as Zi Ji was about to make her move, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Wait..."
Another figure burst out from the lake. A beautiful jade-green swan transformed into a snow-skinned woman and arrived behind Di Tian.
"Bi Ji, why did you come out too? Didn't I tell you to stay hidden at the bottom of the lake?" The middle-aged Di Tian looked at Bi Ji, his eyes carrying both worry and reproach.
In this era of Douluo I, the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts were actually all hiding in the lake, absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. They only sent their underling, the Sky Azure Bull Python, to guard outside and prevent anyone from disturbing them.
Other than Di Tian, they had originally only been Spirit Beasts around a hundred thousand years old. By absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they had now broken through the limits of their lifespans, and their cultivation had improved as well.
Bi Ji was Di Tian's lover. Though she lacked powerful offensive abilities, she possessed formidable healing powers. She was a healing-type Spirit Beast and the guardian of Star Dou Great Forest.
Bi Ji looked at the bewildered Gu Yue Na'er. Opening her palm, she sent a special healing glow into Gu Yue Na'er's body. She said calmly, "The lord has not lost her power and memories. She merely sealed them away. What is even stranger is that the lord should have needed at least another hundred thousand years to fully recover and awaken, yet the injuries in her original body have miraculously healed. In that case, once the lord cultivates back to her peak in human form, she will not only be able to unseal all the power within her body, but she will become even stronger than before."
"What? The lord's injuries have been healed?" Di Tian looked at Gu Yue Na'er in shock.
Lin Fan's heart stirred, and only then did he understand. The Healing Card had originally only been useful on Soul Masters below Rank 30, and its effects should not have been enough to heal Gu Yue Na'er's internal injuries. But she had suddenly sealed her power and become a little girl, allowing the Healing Card to exert its full effect.
Gu Yue Na'er seemed to understand something as well. She hurriedly said in a youthful, pure voice, "He was the one who healed me. When I had my eyes closed, I could still feel unbearable pain. A miraculous power entered my body from his hand. When I opened my eyes, I felt all the pain disappear."
Lin Fan quickly said, "I said from the beginning that I didn't come to harm you. I came to save you Spirit Beasts. Star Dou Great Forest may still be able to withstand humanity's slaughter now, but in several tens of thousands of years, humans will keep killing their way to the center of this lake. This lake will be occupied too."
The middle-aged Di Tian fell silent.
Bi Ji looked at Lin Fan and said gently, "I believe that you truly saved the lord. But now that her power is sealed, are you willing to help her cultivate, help her undo the seal, and return to her peak? You will become the greatest benefactor of all Spirit Beasts."
Lin Fan was delighted. He immediately nodded and said, "Of course I am willing. Don't worry, I'll protect her well. My name is Lin Fan, and I'm also willing to be good friends with all of you sisters."
Di Tian immediately said, "What? That won't do. How can we trust the words of a human child? If the lord enters the human world, she will face many dangers."
Bi Ji leaned close to Di Tian's ear and whispered something to him. Di Tian's expression changed drastically at once. "What? Such a thing will happen?"
Bi Ji looked at Lin Fan again and said gently, "In that case, we hope you can protect her well. If anything happens, come to Star Dou Great Forest and find the Sky Azure Bull Python. He will notify us."
"Don't worry. Thank you, Sister Bi Ji, for trusting me. I won't let anyone hurt her." As Lin Fan spoke, his eyes appraised Bi Ji and Zi Ji. Bi Ji was like a gentle older sister, while Zi Ji looked like a young girl. Di Tian really was fortunate.
"Your name is Lin Fan. Are you my older brother?" Gu Yue Na'er raised her head and looked at Lin Fan with innocent curiosity.
Lin Fan took Gu Yue Na'er's little hand. He was only slightly taller than her now. Smiling, he said, "Of course I'm willing to be your older brother. From now on, I'll call you Na'er."
"Mhm, okay, Fan Ge." Gu Yue Na'er seemed very happy. A lovely smile appeared on her tiny face, while the silver hair behind her fluttered in the air. She was incomparably beautiful, like an elf.
Di Tian looked at the girl in purple and said, "Zi Ji, escort the two of them out of Star Dou Great Forest..."
"What? Beast God, you actually believe that a child can protect the lord? And there's that powerful human woman behind him." The girl in purple looked at Di Tian in shock, seemingly unable to believe that he had agreed to entrust Gu Yue Na'er to this human boy.
Di Tian glanced at Gu Yue Na'er and said calmly, "Just do as you are told. I have my own arrangements."
"Yes, Beast God." Zi Ji nodded slightly, walked over to Lin Fan, and said coldly, "Come with me, brat."
Zi Ji looked like an eighteen-year-old girl. She wore purple, with long hair flowing behind her and slender legs. She even had a somewhat adorable air about her.
"Thank you, Sister Zi Ji. My name is Lin Fan..." Lin Fan appraised Zi Ji. He had not expected Di Tian to have such a beauty under his command. Now that they had all appeared ahead of time, the entire story of Douluo would surely become incredibly exciting.
"Cut the nonsense." Zi Ji snorted coldly, grabbed Lin Fan's wrist with one hand, then gently took Gu Yue Na'er's fair little hand with the other and flew into the air with them.
Zi Ji flew very quickly. Lin Fan only felt that after a few seconds, the lake was already far out of sight. Being carried through the sky by a beauty felt wonderfully pleasant as well.
Gu Yue Na'er, on the other hand, was actually somewhat afraid. Zi Ji naturally did not act harshly toward her and instead comforted her gently.
They had already flown out of the Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest when Lin Fan suddenly remembered something. He quickly said, "Sister Zi Ji, I'm exactly Rank 10 now. I still need a Spirit Ring before I can advance and become a Soul Master. Help me find a suitable Spirit Ring."
Lin Fan felt that since he was from Earth and had no Martial Soul of his own, while the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword Martial Soul had been granted by the system, perhaps his body would not be limited by Spirit Ring age. Maybe his first Spirit Ring could directly be a ten-thousand-year one.
"What? You want me to find you a Spirit Ring too?" Zi Ji's azure eyes glared fiercely at Lin Fan.
After Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er left, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun were still standing by the lake.
"What you said is true? That powerful human woman is not from this plane at all?" Di Tian looked at Bi Ji in astonishment.
Bi Ji nodded gently. "That's right. While you were fighting her, I was observing her the entire time. She has no Martial Soul within her body. Instead, she directly released Soul Power and transformed it into soul skills through special methods. If she were from this plane, how could she vanish into thin air in front of the lord?"
Di Tian nodded. He was not overly shocked. He had long discovered that the world containing Douluo Continent was spherical, and he knew of the God Realm's existence. Naturally, he knew that other planes existed.
"Then we'll do as you said. I hope this youth will not disappoint us..." Di Tian looked toward the distant sky and said solemnly, "My injuries from my battle with Xie Jun have not yet healed. I still need to continue recuperating. There are also several powerful Limit Douluo in the human world. I must recover as quickly as possible to defend Star Dou Great Forest. I hope the lord can return to her peak. Then, no one will be able to stop us Spirit Beasts from unifying Douluo Continent."
