I Can Give You My Lifelong Promise!!!

"Ah?!"

Ye Guyi was stunned by Ye Han's question.

"Xiaohan, are you serious? You want your sister's..."

Before she could finish, Ye Han cut in coquettishly.

"Mm-hmm, I want Sister's Angel Ring. Please?"

"Ah! That won't do..."

This time, Ye Guyi refused him unusually firmly.

"Why not?"

Ye Han scratched his head in confusion.

Ye Guyi hesitated, unsure how to explain it.

Only after a while did she say,

"These two Angel Rings are a pair, passed down by our ancestors."

"Our ancestors established a strict rule: they must not be given to outsiders, unless..."

"To put it simply, unless it's someone who can make me a lifelong promise!"

As she spoke, Ye Guyi worried that Ye Han might be upset, so she continued gently,

"If you want a storage soul tool, Sister will find you an even better one in the future, all right?"

Ye Han understood now.

These Angel Rings were basically tokens of love.

For some reason, being refused made him feel miserable.

Perhaps he had already fallen for Sister Guyi the moment he first met her.

When he saw Ma Hongjun provoking Sister Guyi, he had been unable to control his anger and had wanted to protect her!

And when he thought of Sister Guyi possibly falling in love with someone else in the future...

And having someone else make her a lifelong promise, then giving away the other ring...

Ye Han felt even worse.

Love was selfish. Love was possessive!

He couldn't accept it. Just thinking about it made his heart ache unbearably!

But!

Since the beauty was right in front of him, why not seize the initiative?!!

Sister Guyi was only thirteen years older than him!!

A woman three years older was worth a brick of gold!

A woman thirteen years older was worth a mountain of gold!!

(Readers, do you like Sister Guyi? Do you want her to be the female lead?!!)

"Sister Guyi!"

Ye Han gathered his courage, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

"What is it?"

Ye Guyi was a little surprised by his sudden change.

Was he throwing a little tantrum because she wouldn't give it to him?

Ye Han stepped closer, as though he had made up his mind, and solemnly said,

"As you can see, I'm an orphan. Right now, I don't have anything substantial. I can't give you wealth, and I can't give you power, but..."

"I can give you my lifelong promise!!"

Ye Guyi froze, astonishment flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Wu beside them was also stunned.

"Sister Guyi."

Ye Han stepped closer again. His little hands took hold of Ye Guyi's jade-like right hand as he said with utmost seriousness and solemnity,

"Right now, you're protecting me for the wish in your heart!"

"In the future, once I've grown stronger, I'll be the one to protect you!"

"A lifetime of protection, expecting nothing in return!!"

After hearing that, Ye Guyi was completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Wu was the same, her eyes filled with shock.

Master looks... so serious... It doesn't seem fake...

Could it be that Master has feelings for this human woman...

"Xiaohan, you..."

Ye Guyi wanted to say something, but for a moment, she did not know how to respond.

Xiaohan was just a little child. How could he possibly understand adult love?!

He probably... probably hadn't understood what she meant. He was only saying this for the Angel Ring...

Thinking that, Ye Guyi let out a quiet sigh inwardly.

Then, both helpless and serious, she crouched down and looked Ye Han directly in the eyes.

"Sister can let you use it for now, but you must take good care of it while you have it. Can you promise to do that?!"

Ye Han understood that Sister Guyi might not have taken his words seriously.

But no matter what, he had to get the Angel Ring first!

He couldn't rush things now. He would take it one step at a time!

"Mm-hmm! I promise Sister Guyi everything~~"

"All right, then. Come, Sister will put it on for you."

Ye Guyi slowly removed the unused Angel Ring from her right hand.

She gently and carefully took Ye Han's little hand, then personally put it on him.

"Thank you, Sister Guyi!"

Looking at the Angel Ring on his hand, Ye Han said with unwavering resolve,

"Sister Guyi, don't worry. I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you!"

Ye Guyi was stunned once more, then rubbed Ye Han's head.

"Okay, okay. Sister believes in Xiaohan~"

She believed his promise, but she still did not think of it in terms of romance.

He was just a little child. How could he possibly understand adult matters?!

"Master..."

Xiao Wu had witnessed the entire exchange from the side.

For some reason, her heart felt incomparably miserable.

This feeling was so sour... so bitter...

"All right."

Ye Guyi stood up and said gently,

"Since that's the case, we'll follow Xiaohan's plan next."

"We'll leave Star Dou and head for that mysterious place where we can grow stronger."

Hearing that, Ye Han nodded obediently and said coquettishly,

"Sister Guyi, can you hold my hand while we walk?"

Ye Guyi merely assumed he was afraid of a soul beast ambush and did not refuse.

After all, he was just a little child. What bad intentions could he possibly have?

Seeing this, Xiao Wu's mood grew worse and worse!

Ye Han was led along by the hand, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Sister Guyi's hand was warmer than a blanket!!

Meanwhile.

Star Dou Great Forest.

The core region, Lake of Life.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python lived here.

Unfortunately, these two great beasts had no idea.

Beneath the lake lay a small world formed from divine power.

And within it dwelled terrifying existences countless times stronger than them.

At its very center stood a palace forged entirely from silvery-white crystal!

"This aura... the bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King?!!"

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had slept for an unknown number of millennia,

suddenly awoke with a jolt upon sensing the aura outside!

"There can be no mistake! This is the bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King!"

"The Golden Dragon King has no descendants, and humans could never awaken it naturally!"

"It can only be the Golden Dragon King himself! Could he... have escaped to the Douluo Plane as well?!"

That was right. The bloodline power sensed by the Silver Dragon King

was precisely what Ye Han's Golden Dragon martial soul had released earlier!

Rumble!!

As her emotions surged, the entire palace shook violently.

"Lord!!"

"What's happened to you?!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Six figures awoke along with the Silver Dragon King and rushed over in unison.

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, swept her beautiful purple eyes over them.

The six figures before her

were none other than the Six Great Ferocious Beasts who would only make their first appearance ten thousand years later!

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—Di Tian!

Eight hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation, calm and domineering!

The Emerald Swan—Bi Ji!

Five hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation, gentle and compassionate!

The Hell Dragon King—Zi Ji!

Two hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation, proud and aloof!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear—Xiong Jun!

Four hundred and seventy thousand years of cultivation, violent and fierce!

The Demon-Eyed Tree King—Myriad Demon King!

Five hundred and thirty thousand years of cultivation, calm and scheming!

The Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Hound—Red King!

Three hundred thousand years of cultivation, a loyal auspicious beast guard!

"Lord, what exactly happened?!"

Di Tian took the lead, dropping to one knee and asking respectfully.

The other five ferocious beasts beside him were equally astonished and eager to know the answer.

"I sensed the bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King!!"

The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's cold, majestic voice rang out thunderously.

"What?!!"

The entire place erupted at once.

"The bloodline power of Lord Golden Dragon King?!!"

As a legitimate inheritor of the dragon clan, Di Tian naturally understood what this meant.

And not only did he know, he had also told the other five ferocious beasts some of these secrets.

"Lord, do you mean Lord Golden Dragon King... has also descended upon the Douluo Plane?!"
