Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena Awakens

The next morning, sunlight filtered through gaps in the canopy, scattering golden flecks across the lake's surface.

When Xiao Wu woke up, she found herself lying in Lin Chen's arms, covered by his coat. She looked up at him and saw that he had been awake for a while, staring blankly at the lake as though lost in thought.

"Awake?" Lin Chen lowered his head to look at her.

"Mhm." Xiao Wu stretched and sat up from his arms. "What are we doing today?"

"Let's just wander around." Lin Chen said. "Didn't you say you'd show me your home? Once we're done, we'll head back."

Xiao Wu nodded, got to her feet, brushed the grass clippings off herself, then held out her hand to Lin Chen. "Come on. I'll take you somewhere nice."

Lin Chen took her hand and stood up.

For most of the rest of the day, Xiao Wu led Lin Chen around the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"We should head back." Lin Chen stood up and brushed the grass clippings off himself. "If we don't, Rongrong and the others will start worrying."

Xiao Wu nodded and stood up as well.

He sensed something unusual.
