Crossed Thoughts, Yet an Asura Field All the Same: The Dragon and Angel with Tang Shan on Their Minds

The Wind Element seemed to have condensed, but suddenly a large hand reached out from the side, grabbed and pulled, and Gu Yue felt her body being lifted up, and then she was lying on a broad back. Then, the surrounding scenery began to rush past.

Only then did Gu Yue have time to scan with his Mental Power and recognize Tang Shan.

Why is she back again? And why did she just carry me away like that? She looks like she's in deep trouble, even though there's no danger around at all!

The Silver Dragon King, carried on Tang Shan's back, was completely dumbfounded. The half-eaten candied hawthorn skewer in his hand was still hanging in mid-air, and a few grains of sugar frosting on the hawthorn berries had been blown off by the wind.

Tang Shan was completely unaware of the many thoughts racing through the girl's mind behind him. At this moment, he was moving at full speed, weaving through the streets of Heaven Dou City. Fortunately, he was not far from the Crown Prince's Residence. Relying on his agility and the explosive power of his Soul Power, he rushed to the front of the Crown Prince's Residence in just a few minutes.

The journey was smooth, without any danger or obstruction, which surprised Tang Shan. Could it be that the powerful figure in the shadows had abandoned the plan?

In the courtyard of the Crown Prince's Residence, Golden Crocodile Douluo lay back on a chair, letting the warm sunlight shine on his entire body.

Although he has already reached the Limit human endurance, he still hasn't changed his habit of sunbathing.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, does that mean Tang Shan already has three External Soul Bones?"

Xue Qinghe's voice betrayed his undisguised surprise.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. "That's right, three pieces. Such an opportunity is the first I've ever seen in all my years of life."

Just then, Fu E Douluo picked up the fan covering his face and said with a somewhat strange expression, "Tang Shan Gu has arrived, but—"

Xue Qinghe had already stood up and was walking quickly towards the gate.

Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Forget it, why should he meddle in the affairs of young people? Let them handle it themselves. But this girl's talent is quite formidable. Can she really be twelve years old? She's already Soul Elder. Fortunately, her appearance is average, so Xiao Xue shouldn't be at a disadvantage in that regard.

Tang Shan traveled non-stop and soon arrived at the gates of the Crown Prince's Residence. He was now in a completely safe area. Golden Crocodile Douluo must have already noticed his return. If anyone had any other ulterior motives, they would likely be met with a Crocodile Claw descending from the sky.

"Are you alright? I sensed enemies lurking in the shadows, so I took you with me when I ran."

As Tang Shan spoke, he turned around and was met with a pair of big, dark eyes.

Gu Yue blinked and said, "It's okay, can you put me down now?"

Tang Shan?!

Can anyone tell him why the supposed acquaintance is Gu Yue, whom he met once in the Star Dou Great Forest? Why is she in Heaven Dou City?!

The case is solved! What hidden powerful figure spying on us? It turns out it was the Silver Dragon King watching us!

Not only did I dodge the Silver Dragon King's greeting hand, but I also picked her up and ran. Was this move just asking for trouble, or did I want to die even faster?

Thinking of this, a cold sweat instantly slid down Tang Shan's forehead, down his neck, and into his collar, soaking most of his back. He didn't know whether he should worry about being slapped into a pulp by the Silver Dragon King or about some unknown, possibly nonexistent, Ferocious Beast lurking in the shadows suddenly jumping out and sending him to his death.

While his mind was racing, Tang Shan outwardly appeared very "sensible" and prepared to let Gu Yue go.

Just then, the gates of the Crown Prince's Residence's residence burst open, and before the person even arrived, a voice called out, "Tang Shan, Grandpa Golden Crocodile says you're back."

Xue Qinghe walked out of the door and looked up to see a black-haired girl clinging to Tang Shan's back!

The gentle smile vanished from her face in an instant, her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sharp, fixed on Gu Yue on Tang Shan's back.

Gu Yue's reaction was almost identical to hers. The moment she saw Xue Qinghe, her eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing in them, and the air around her seemed to freeze.

Xue Qinghe: Who is she? What is her relationship with Tang Shan? Why are they so close?

Gu Yue: Divine Inheritor? Just as I expected, the gods in the heavens have indeed discovered the existence of the Child of the Plane, and it seems they also want to find their target through Tang Shan.

An invisible aura of malevolence clashed between the two, causing ripples in the air. Tang Shan couldn't help but shiver, fearing that if this little devil got into a bad mood, he might just turn the entire Crown Prince's Residence upside down.

He was about to put Gu Yue down and introduce them to each other to ease the tense atmosphere, but when he tried to move, Gu Yue was stuck to his back as if glued on, not moving an inch.

No, wasn't the Silver Dragon King, who possesses "astounding wisdom," just now urging to come down? Why is he lingering here now?

"Gu Yue."

Helpless, Tang Shan could only offer a reminder.

Gu Yue blinked, then slowly slid off Tang Shan's back, deliberately rubbing against his shoulder as she did so.

"Tang Shan, thank you for carrying me back."

Gu Yue's voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a hint of affection.

Tang Shan?!

These words were like a fatal blow. Xue Qinghe's eyes almost burned with golden flames. Tang Shan was afraid that if things continued like this, the other party would directly pull out the Angel Holy Sword and slash at Gu Yue.

So, what's wrong with Angel Big Sis today? She's so irritable. Is it because her period is here?

With his mind racing, Tang Shan decisively took a step forward and moved between the two men, trying to separate them from those murderous gazes.

"Let me introduce you to Your One Hall. This is Gu Yue, Soul Master genius I met when Senior She and I went to the Star Dou Great Forest. Gu Yue, this is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince. I am currently his subordinate."

Xue Qinghe: It's actually that mysterious family with at least a level 97 Titled Douluo? They already pose a powerful threat, and they even tried to lure away my Soul Master genius. They're truly courting death!

Gu Yue: To actually enslave such a genius, do they intend to enslave the Child of the Plane planes in the future and keep them as dogs? Truly, these are the pure and noble gods!

For some reason, Tang Shan suddenly felt that the air around him was getting colder and colder.

"You mean you sensed a powerful figure watching you on the road, which is why you rushed back to the Prince's Residence?"

Xue Qinghe picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a flat tone, revealing no emotion.

Tang Shan nodded. "That's exactly it."

"Then what happened to her?"

Xue Qinghe fixed his sharp gaze on Gu Yue, who was sitting next to Tang Shan.

Gu Yue picked up a delicate osmanthus cake with her fork, gently pinching the fork handle between her fingertips and shaking it, curiously examining the sugar frosting patterns on the cake. Before Tang Shan could speak, she casually replied, "He saw me on the road and just rescued me, what else could he do?"

After saying that, she took a big bite and put the whole pastry into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her eyes curved into two crescent moons. She was clearly very satisfied with the sweet and sticky texture.

Xue Qinghe's lips curled into a forced smile, his words carrying a hidden meaning. "I remember your elders were quite strong, weren't they? Could it be that the powerful figure secretly watching was one of your elders?"

Gu Yue shook her head vigorously, answering decisively, "Impossible. I was given permission to go out this time, and an elder did accompany me, but their protection of me was all aboveboard; they would never do anything so underhanded."

Gu Yue didn't say one more thing: She knew perfectly well where Bi Ji was, and whether she had any powerful allies following her.

Xue Qinghe gritted her teeth, utterly helpless against the innocent-looking black-haired girl before her.

Tang Shan kept his eyes down, his mind completely closed, and remained silent throughout, as if he wanted to shrink himself into a transparent person.

On one side is the inheritor of a god, and on the other is the ruler of Soul Beast. It's inappropriate for him to side with either side, since no one knows what the other side will do.

He won't suddenly go crazy and do anything earth-shattering. The only thing he can do is to step in and stop the verbal conflict from escalating into a physical fight.

After Gu Yue devoured all the snacks on the table, she patted her unchanged belly with satisfaction, stood up, and looked at Tang Shan and Xue Qinghe: "I sense my family is arriving soon, so I won't bother Crown Prince Highness any longer. Tang Shan, I should be joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in a while; we'll meet there."

"Good."

Tang Shan readily agreed, his nervousness dissipating. After spending time together, Gu Yue was clearly still the same gluttonous Silver Dragon King from the Star Dou Great Forest, unchanged. There was no need to worry about her suddenly attacking someone.

Xue Qinghe gave a forced smile, "Take care, don't bother seeing me off."

Gu Yue ignored Xue Qinghe's extremely bad tone and walked towards the gate on her own.

The Angel Big Sis could be rude, but Tang Shan couldn't be. He very considerately saw Gu Yue to the door and watched her being picked up by a woman in a light green dress.

Is it Bi Ji? Ranked fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, she possesses the cultivation of Limit Douluo. Although she is not good at combat, her strength is equivalent to Titled Douluo of level ninety-six or ninety-seven.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan couldn't help but complain about Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's combat power again. Look at her, she's clearly a healer, yet she has the strength of Super Douluo; your age is almost twice as high as hers, but you can only fight Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, how can you be so weak!

Back at the Prince's Residence, Xue Qinghe was leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed. When he saw Tang Shan return, he waved to him.

Tang Shan followed in the footsteps of the other person and arrived at the previous location. He keenly noticed that the teacup that Gu Yue had used earlier had disappeared without a trace. He didn't know if it had been taken away by the Angel Big Sis or simply vanished into thin air.

"Tang Shan, I feel there's something wrong with that Gu Yue. You must be careful and not be fooled by her appearance."

Tang Shan quickly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will absolutely not be deceived by her appearance."

He added in his mind: After all, that's not her real appearance.

Seeing that Tang Shan was so obedient, Xue Qinghe was very satisfied, and the tension in her heart dissipated a little. She knew how reliable Tang Shan was. Over the past three years, he had offered many insightful suggestions on many matters concerning the Heaven Dou Empire. He truly deserved to be her capable right-hand man.
