Spirit Pearl Child Entered the Primordial World, Yao Ji and Xu Yuan Rekindled Their Past Bond

Above the Star Sea, Gungun was fishing. He did not use the Treasure-Fishing Rod's divine power, treating it as nothing more than an ordinary fishing rod.

"Hum~" Suddenly, the Treasure-Fishing Rod in his hands shook violently. Gungun, who had been waiting with his eyes closed, snapped them open, delight spreading across his big, chubby face.

Something took the bait!

Good, let me see what big fish I caught this time.

Gungun stood up and gave the rod a mighty pull.

Splash~

Ripples immediately spread outward as Gungun pulled the Treasure-Fishing Rod's line out of the endless starry void. A red figure came into view, and the smile on his face abruptly froze.

A... child wearing a red bellyband?

"Aha, here I come! Heavenly... huh? A bear? Where did you come from, you shaggy bear? Where's the Heavenly Emperor? Tell him to come out! I'm going to fight him for three hundred rounds!" Clutching the fishhook, Spirit Pearl Child crossed the boundary of the Star Sea and appeared before Gungun, questioning him with utter confidence.

But...

How could Gungun possibly agree to such an outrageous demand? Though he had no idea how this unruly child had slipped out of the Wa Emperor Palace and come here.

He sat back down and flicked his arm. The force traveled along the rod, making Spirit Pearl Child release his grip on its hook.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts~" Spirit Pearl Child cried, hurriedly blowing on his hand. Then he turned his gaze back toward the very, very fat bear. This bear seemed... so familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before.

With that thought, Spirit Pearl Child flew over and asked Gungun, "Hey, bear, have we met before?"

"We have." Gungun glanced at the unruly child and continued fishing as he answered.

"Where?"
