Gu Yuena, I Hope You Know What's Good for You. I Don't Want to Force You

"Asura God, what happens after a Soul Beast offers itself as a sacrifice?"

After reassuring himself for a while, Tang San accepted the fact that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

What he was worried about now was whether Xiao Wu would suffer any irreversible harm after her sacrifice.

After all, his mother had sacrificed herself for his father, and he had never even met his mother.

"She will. A Soul Beast's sacrifice is equivalent to sacrificing its own life. But you needn't worry. A sacrifice is not the same as a hunt. With your current physical strength, you can fully withstand the impact brought by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

"So that girl named Xiao Wu only needs to sacrifice her cultivation, not her soul. After the sacrifice, both her soul and body can be preserved. Once you become a god, you can use divine means to revive her."

Hearing this, Tang San finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

That was good. He had been terrified that he would never see his beloved Xiao Wu again after doing this!

"Thank you, Asura God. Can you help me find Xiao Wu's current location? It has been five years. Perhaps she has already left Shrek Academy." Tang San's tone was pleading.

"Mm." The Asura God's voice was as calm as still water.

Soon, the Asura God's voice rang out in Tang San's mind again.

"She is currently in Suotuo City of the Balak Kingdom. Over the past five years, she has not left Shrek Academy."

Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief. Just moments ago, he had still been worried.

What if, after five years apart, his Xiao Wu had left Shrek Academy and fallen in love with someone else?

But now, it seemed that his worries had been completely unfounded.

Meanwhile,

At the bottom of Star Lake in the Star Dou Forest, Chu Yuan and Di Tian, along with the other Ferocious Beasts, stood before a yurt-shaped structure that glowed with silver light and emitted a faint draconic might.

"My lord, this is where that sinner, the Silver Dragon King, has been recuperating." Di Tian's tone was cold, as though he and Gu Yuena were not only unfamiliar with each other, but bitter enemies.

Chu Yuan looked at the Silver Dragon Castle before him, the corners of his lips curling upward slightly.

The Golden Dragon King's origin power gathered in his hands. Then, as he slowly injected this small strand of origin power into the Silver Dragon Castle before him—

The previously silent Silver Dragon Castle suddenly began to shake violently, and several silver dragon scales on its surface fell straight off.

The next moment, dazzling silver light erupted from the Silver Dragon Castle.

Chu Yuan caught a whiff of a woman's delicate fragrance rushing into his nose. Before him—

A silver-haired woman with a proud figure and peerless beauty stood before him. The only unnatural thing was that her face was somewhat pale.

"You... actually escaped."

An ethereal voice sounded out, unable to conceal its shock and a trace of weakness.

As the light from the Silver Dragon Castle faded, Gu Yuena's figure was finally fully revealed before Chu Yuan.

At that moment, only the distance of a fist separated them.

It had to be said that although Gu Yuena's "world-shaking wisdom" was astounding, her appearance was truly exceptional. Those from the protagonist's group, as well as Spirit Hall's three fools, probably could not compare to Gu Yuena in looks.

"Why is your strength so powerful?"

Gu Yuena's voice sounded again, this time filled with confusion.

She had escaped from the God Realm with less than a tenth of her strength remaining, and her injuries had only recovered the slightest bit even now.

But why had the Golden Dragon King escaped from the God Realm without any injuries, with strength almost no different from his peak?

She simply could not understand it.

Besides, once the Golden Dragon King descended upon Douluo Continent, she should have been able to sense it.

"You needn't concern yourself with that. You only need to know that I came for the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline within your body."

"If you willingly allow me to devour it, you may yet preserve your life. Otherwise, I will have to use force. When that happens, no one can guarantee what fate awaits you."

Chu Yuan's voice was filled with cruelty. He still did not want to kill the Silver Dragon King just like that.

After all, as long as she did not use her world-shaking wisdom to command the Soul Beast Clan, she would still be a top-tier combat force capable of reaching the Half-Step God King level.

If he could make her lose her memories later and properly teach her how to fight, that would be even more perfect. She would be a top-tier combat tool without question!

"What did you say?" Gu Yuena frowned, suspecting that she had heard wrong.

"Enough. Stop pretending you didn't hear me. I will give you one hour to consider it. If you have not given me an answer after one hour, then I will use force."

At some point, a large hourglass appeared in Chu Yuan's hand. After he turned it over and set it on the ground, the sand within began rapidly falling.

"Golden Dragon King, have you gone stupid from staying in the God Realm too long? Like you, I am one of the Dragon God's two split bodies. Why would I willingly hand over my bloodline?"

Gu Yuena's voice was cold, and her expression became as frosty as an iceberg. Paired with her peerlessly beautiful face, it stirred an urge to conquer her.

"Di Tian, why are you standing behind him?"

"And what kind of look is that in your eyes when you look at me? Do you intend to defy your superior!?"

Di Tian did not speak. When he looked at Gu Yuena, his gaze was like that of someone looking at a sinner of his race.

Seeing Di Tian remain silent for so long while continuing to look at her as though she were a sinner, Gu Yuena immediately felt that her authority had been challenged.

"Di Tian, do you think that with the Golden Dragon King backing you, I would not dare do anything to you?"

A ball of silver energy emerged in Gu Yuena's hand. The surrounding elements gathered in her palm, gradually forming a sphere of light wrapped in countless elements.

But just as Gu Yuena raised her hand and prepared to unleash the sphere, a large hand suddenly seized her raised arm tightly.

At the same time, an incomparably domineering power surged directly into Gu Yuena's body, causing the attack she had condensed to dissipate into the air.

"Di Tian is my man. You want to touch my man right in front of me? Are you treating me like I don't exist!?"

After Chu Yuan spoke, a powerful, tyrannical aura erupted from his body, locking directly onto Gu Yuena.

Mmgh.

The locked-on Gu Yuena felt as though boundless pressure had been placed upon her body. She could not help but let out a muffled groan, her face turning even paler.

"Damn it, how can his strength be this powerful!?"

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth as she looked at Chu Yuan. Her eyes were filled with defiance, and her expression was exceedingly stubborn.

"No matter how much you glare at me, it will not change your fate. Will you willingly let me devour your bloodline, or will I use force and devour it by force?" Chu Yuan extended two fingers and firmly pinched Gu Yuena's snow-white chin.

"One choice lets you live. The other leaves your life and death uncertain. Choose carefully. And let me remind you, you only have one hour to consider it."

Gu Yuena looked at Chu Yuan, feeling incomparably aggrieved inside.

When had Gu Yuena ever suffered such humiliation? And she remembered that when they had first split from the Dragon God in the God Realm—

The Golden Dragon King had not been like this either.

How had he become so...

Evil, with a trace of cruelty mixed in?
