Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's Little Lesson Begins

Di Tian had no choice but to preserve Gu Yuena's dignity. He personally served as their guide to the Sun Moon Empire, transforming into his true form to carry the two esteemed ladies as he flew steadily into the distance.

Sitting atop Di Tian's true form, Lin Wan'er instinctively shifted away from the edge, lest she accidentally plunge from the sky into the sea and become the first Holy Maiden in Douluo Continent's history to fall to her death in the ocean.

Noticing that the Holy Maiden did not particularly enjoy standing high in the air and looking down at the scenery below, Gu Yuena thoughtfully sat down and asked whether the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons truly could not compare to the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools.

Seeing Gu Yuena's eyes filled with curiosity, Lin Wan'er, who was somewhat afraid of heights, gave it some thought before explaining from a neutral and objective standpoint, "The Hidden Weapons the Tang Sect currently relies on are still fairly advanced, but common ones like the well-known Godly Zhuge Crossbow will gradually fall behind the times and be replaced by Soul Tools developed by the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent."

"Of course, if the Tang Sect could equip every Soul Master above Soul Emperor rank with a Peerless Hidden Weapon, such as the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, then the Sun Moon Empire definitely would not be able to win. But the key issue is that the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus is extremely difficult to make. Ordinary people simply cannot produce it."

"Besides, the cost is too high for mass production. Its power is also difficult to control, making it easy to injure one's own people on the battlefield. Naturally, it cannot compare to Soul Tools."

"Then could the Tears of the Goddess of Mercy used by the Sea God before he became a god solve this problem?"

Afraid that the Holy Maiden would not understand, Gu Yuena, who had learned more or less about the Tang Sect during her slumber, explained what the Tears of the Goddess of Mercy were.

She believed that since the Tang Sect's Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus was unsuitable for use on crowded battlefields, perhaps the Tears of the Goddess of Mercy, which had once directly pierced through Qian Renxue's heart, could prove useful at critical moments.

For instance, the Tang Sect could launch sneak attacks and specifically target the known Titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Continent, leaving the enemy without any high-ranking powerhouses and only lower- and mid-level Soul Masters wandering the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er was filled with admiration.

She had not expected the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who looked like a complete Love Brain and seemed so easy to win over, to come up with such an intelligent assassination plan.

"It's an idealized plan. If I remember correctly, manifesting the phantom of Goddess of Mercy's Tears requires strength at the Titled Douluo level. You would also need to master every method, skill, and technique of the Tang Sect, as well as possess precise calculation abilities. This isn't something an ordinary person can accomplish."

At that point, Lin Wan'er's thoughts drifted to the story of the Peerless Tang Sect era.

It was precisely because the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons had failed to play much of a role when the three great empires fought the Sun Moon Empire that the Tang Sect had declined.

The Sun Moon Empire's research into Soul Tools was so refined that it made the three great empires feel deeply threatened.

Back then, the dean of Shrek Academy raised his arm and called out, leading nearly sixty Titled Douluo into battle against the Sun Moon Empire. Only then was the situation turned around.

It took sixty Titled Douluo to handle the Sun Moon Empire. That battlefield must have been even more spectacular than the battle at Jialing Pass, right? But Lin Wan'er could only think such things to herself. She could no longer use the Auspicious Beast's prophecy as an excuse to tell Gu Yuena.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

Having once again witnessed the appeal of Soul Tools, Gu Yuena unconsciously infused her violet eyes with divine power and gazed into the distance.

"We're almost there!"

Di Tian flew at full speed in his true form, so quickly that the moment Gu Yuena said they were almost there, he had already folded his wings and slowly descended toward the land below.

Once Lin Wan'er landed safely, Gu Yuena, who was still seated atop Di Tian's true form, closed her eyes. A flash of silver light passed over her, and her appearance and clothing changed drastically.

Gu Yuena now had a head of rare lavender-pink hair, lighter than Zi Ji's, like rich grape wine gleaming with a faint luster.

However, her eyes were not lavender-pink. They were the same gold as Di Tian's, making her look exceptionally noble.

Her long, straight hair was gathered to the right and tied into a ponytail. She wore clothes matching Lin Wan'er's, except the colors were more suited to silver-white.

"Ahem, ahem, my lord, this appearance of yours..."

Di Tian, who had just changed from his true form into a human, looked at the drastically shrunken Silver Dragon King. His pupils unconsciously contracted, and he looked exactly like a big cat with its fur standing on end.

"Hm?" Lin Wan'er and Gu Yuena both turned to look at the flustered Di Tian at the same time, nearly making the arrogant Beast God faint on the spot.

It could not be helped. Lin Wan'er's appearance was remarkably like a miniature Bi Ji, while Gu Yuena currently looked remarkably like a miniature Zi Ji.

Simply standing together was enough to make Di Tian, an old father without children, feel the pride of taking his kids out. He even began to feel that the Holy Maiden and the Co-Lord were actually children he, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji had raised together...

An illusion. It was all an illusion! Di Tian quickly put away his irreverent thoughts, coughed, and said in a panic, "It's nothing."

Retracting her suspicious gaze, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena felt that her subordinate, the Beast God Di Tian, had just entertained some irreverent thoughts.

But a feeling was only a feeling. Di Tian had not actually revealed what he was thinking, and Gu Yuena did not possess the ability to read minds.

Thus, Lin Wan'er, who was looking around everywhere, missed her chance to stir the waters and lost the opportunity to witness the famous scene of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena beating Di Tian up.

Since Di Tian had landed relatively close to the Sun Moon Empire's border, Lin Wan'er and the others bought a set of locally styled accessories in a small village and rented a decent carriage to head toward the city, so as not to expose themselves as outsiders.

However, a minor incident occurred while they were renting the carriage.

When a herd of horses raised by a Soul Grandmaster saw Gu Yuena, every one of them seemed to come down with some acute illness, foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground. This successfully taught Gu Yuena, who did not know how to completely conceal her aura, a valuable lesson about society.

In the end, Lin Wan'er could not bear to watch the horses return to death's embrace. She chose to use Martial Soul Possession and healed the Soul Grandmaster's innocent horses with her Scepter.

As a result, not only was the carriage they rode in free of charge, but its owner—the Soul Grandmaster—even stuffed them with plenty of local specialties to express his gratitude.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Yuena, who had now restrained her aura, watched the male Soul Grandmaster renting them the carriage as he continuously waved from behind. His cheeks were darkened by the sun, and a rare trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Unable to understand it no matter how she thought about it, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena humbly asked the Holy Maiden, who was much younger than her, "Why was I willing to disturb his horses and nearly cause him to lose everything, yet he still rented us his best carriage for free and even gave us these... foods?"

Eating fresh fruit, Lin Wan'er wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth and answered without needing to think, "Leaving aside whether that Soul Grandmaster could even tell that the aura on Dragon King Sister had disturbed his horses, the fact that I soothed the herd with Healing Power and even made them healthier and stronger was enough for him to show us goodwill, offer us discounts, and provide considerate service."
