I Don't Like Little Girls!

"Of course I knew that if Gangzi came back too, he would definitely come looking for us."

"But the question is, when he created his Self-Created Godhood, didn't you sense anything unusual?" A trace of coldness flashed through the Fire Dragon King's eyes.

His tone also became somewhat unfriendly.

Yu Xiaogang's attention had been entirely focused on condensing his Godhood. It was perfectly normal that he either failed to notice or had no time to concern himself with it even if he had.

But the two of them had watched the entire process and felt it all with absolute clarity.

"Who knows?" The Ice Dragon King's voice was also filled with inexplicable mockery. "If another God King appeared, that would be unacceptable to them."

"Besides, his martial soul is the Light Sacred Dragon. He carries the auras of both the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, and he possesses a new Dragon King Godhood. What do you think they would make of that?"

Even if Yu Xiaogang had wanted to hide the auras of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, he could not have done so.

With the Divine Soul Rings and Divine Bones of both of them within him, there was no way to conceal that from those gods.

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King themselves had never possessed particularly effective methods of hiding, making it even more impossible to keep it secret.

A new Dragon King Godhood, along with Dragon Clan bloodline.

That had undoubtedly touched certain people's reverse scales. It was something they would never permit.

"How would I know what they were thinking? In any case, their little scheme didn't succeed. Aren't we still alive?"

The Fire Dragon King sneered. "The gods of the God Realm cannot directly interfere with matters in the lower realm. Their Divine Sense Avatars would have been unable to defeat Gangzi as he was back then, so naturally they chose the moment he became a god to pull some petty tricks."

"No matter how thoroughly they calculated, they probably never expected that Gangzi never absorbed our Dragon Souls at all."

"Nor could they have expected that we, as Dragon Kings, would choose to give our all to aid a human."

Taking direct action would have been going too far.

The gods of the God Realm were not a united front, either.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang was not the Gold Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King.

There was no need to make such a massive fuss.

He had merely been a cripple with innate half-rank soul power, carrying two dead dragons that had already become remnants of souls.

Even if he had potential, it was only potential.

He had not become a god in the end.

That had also become their one sliver of hope.

The Ice Dragon King nodded in agreement. "We did not choose the wrong person."

"But we cannot lower our guard either. If Gangzi is alive, he will be exposed sooner or later."

"Ah, I just hope Gangzi comes here soon, so we can make plans for him in advance." The Fire Dragon King sighed again.

"But can Gangzi reach this place safely? It seems this place has been occupied by some little fellow."

The two dragons fell silent for a while. The Fire Dragon King was simply bored out of his mind. Any topic would do; chatting with the Ice Dragon King was better than staring blankly into space.

Although neither of them had returned to their peak and were merely Dragon Souls,

in their current state, they could still sense the situation outside with perfect clarity.

There was also a Titled Douluo who came by frequently.

He looked half-dead.

He relied on this place to heal his injuries and prolong his life.

"If you're bored, then sleep." The Ice Dragon King replied irritably.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. You've slept for so long already. Why are you so fond of sleeping?"

"..." The Ice Dragon King was truly at a loss. "Do you really think that little fellow outside can stop Gangzi?"

"Even if Gangzi has started cultivating again and his strength is insufficient, isn't there still that little spider girl?"

"Judging by the age of that little fellow outside, we returned much later than expected. That little spider girl should already be a Titled Douluo by now."

The little fellow the two dragons spoke of was Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

When they had followed Yu Xiaogang, they had also met this little fellow.

It was simply that Dugu Bo had not yet reached the Titled Realm at that time.

The little spider girl they mentioned was Bibi Dong.

From their perspective, given their age, everyone was a little fellow.

The Ice Dragon King was certain that with Bibi Dong's talent, after all these years, she had definitely reached the realm of Titled Douluo.

Moreover, she possessed Twin Martial Souls. Dugu Bo outside was simply no match for her.

"With Gangzi's mind, he would never leave such a powerful source of assistance unused."

After all, they had spent so long together.

The Ice Dragon King understood Yu Xiaogang quite well.

Although he did not know the current situation outside, he had seen what Bibi Dong was like around Yu Xiaogang.

To him, whether Yu Xiaogang could reach this place was not a question that required any thought at all.

The Fire Dragon King was purely making conversation because he had nothing else to say.

"Then..." Before the Fire Dragon King could finish, the Ice Dragon King cut him off directly.

"If you won't sleep, I will. Stop disturbing my sleep."

"Don't! Let's chat a little more."

"..."

"We don't even need to sleep, all right? Stop playing dead."

"..."

"Ice Dragon King? Ice Dragon King?"

No matter what the Fire Dragon King said, the Ice Dragon King acted as though he had not heard a thing.

I'm asleep, so I can't hear you. Go entertain yourself.

"Tch... Fine, sleep then." The Fire Dragon King clicked his tongue and stopped rambling.

He turned and curled back up, preparing to rest.

The Ice Dragon King sighed in relief. Finally, some peace and quiet.

It was not that he did not want to talk to the Fire Dragon King. It was simply that this dragon kept asking him idiotic questions for no reason, questions he felt did not need answering at all.

Only because he was the Fire Dragon King, and because the Ice Dragon King did not want to be accused of disregarding the bond between fellow Dragon Kings, did he reluctantly give him a few responses.

Another reason was that the Fire Dragon King was the only one who could talk to him right now, so it was better to respond occasionally.

Otherwise, if the Fire Dragon King truly played dead and ignored him, he would be bored too.

Meanwhile.

Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen had searched for an entire day.

Yet they had found nothing.

They found a spot halfway up the mountain to set up camp, planning to rest for the night and continue searching the next day.

When people had nothing to do, they liked to ask all sorts of random questions.

Yu Yuanzhen was no exception.

With his cultivation, he could completely ensure Yu Xiaogang's safety in this environment.

After putting some meat over the fire, he opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Gang, how have things been between you and Lingling? How does it feel?"

Yu Xiaogang answered casually, "Not bad. The Nine-Hearted Begonia is well suited to being a teammate."

"I have to say, Father, your judgment is as sharp as ever."

Yu Yuanzhen clicked his tongue. "I'm pleased that you praised your father."

"But that isn't the answer I wanted to hear."

Was that what he wanted to hear?

Of course not!

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"It's not that I want to criticize you, but how old is Lingling? Aren't you and Aunt Ye being a little too bold?"

It had already been two and a half years since he first met Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling was only a little over ten, not yet eleven.

She was not at an age to discuss marriage yet.

Over the past two years, he had only regarded Ye Lingling as a teammate.

He had never had any further thoughts.

"You really have no feelings for her at all?"

"Not even a little." Yu Xiaogang simply went all in. Turning his head away, he forced himself to grit his teeth and say bluntly, "I don't like little girls!"

"!"

Yu Yuanzhen understood. "I see. It was your father's oversight."
