Kneeling to Beg the Ancestor to Emerge, Killing Xiong Jun with a Glance, and Taking Gu Yuena as a Maid!

"I, your unworthy descendant Gu Yuena, kneel to beg you to emerge, Ancestor, and save the Soul Beast Clan!"

Gazing at the distant, enormous dragon head that resembled a mountain, Gu Yuena spoke with devotion, her voice filled with reverence.

The Soul Beast Clan had already reached a life-and-death crisis, teetering on the brink of extinction-

The Dragon God, the original sovereign and strongest member of the Soul Beast Clan, had inexplicably descended into madness;

The mightiest Golden Dragon King had been ambushed and sealed by the God Kings, while she, the Silver Dragon King, had also been gravely wounded and forced to hide in the lower realm;

Almost all the other deities of the Soul Beast Clan had been slaughtered, and a decree had even been issued forbidding Soul Beasts from becoming gods.

Under these circumstances, the Soul Beast Clan had already fallen into a crisis that threatened its extinction!

Now, perhaps only if this ancestor, who surpassed even the Dragon God, intervened.

Would there be any chance of reshaping heaven and earth and saving the Soul Beasts from deep waters and scorching flames.

"Please emerge, Ancestor, and save the Soul Beast Clan!"

Seeing Gu Yuena's actions.

Behind her, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and the other Soul Beasts also knelt one after another, prostrating themselves before Yao Xuan in worship.

"The Silver Dragon King? Interesting, interesting!"

Looking down at Gu Yuena before him, Yao Xuan slowly nodded, deep in thought.

In truth, Yao Xuan felt no particular pity for the Soul Beast Clan.

Although he had transmigrated and become the Ancestral Dragon, his way of thinking was still fundamentally human.

What did the life or death of Soul Beasts have to do with him?

No, that was not quite right. He did have some interest in Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the greatest beauty in the Douluo World.

As the Ancestral Dragon, Yao Xuan also possessed the innate nature of dragons.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a beauty like Gu Yuena by his side?

"Soul Beasts? If they die, they die. There's nothing worth saving."

"However, I have only just awakened, and I do intend to amuse myself in the mortal world for a while. Once I've had my fun, if I'm in a good mood, I'll see whether I can leave you Soul Beasts a path to survival!"

At this thought, Yao Xuan lowered his head and replied indifferently.

"Ancestor, you... you..."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena was instantly struck speechless, her delicate body frozen in place.

Just then, an enormous figure suddenly rose behind Gu Yuena.

Every strand of his dark-gold fur bristled, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and a savage aura swept in all directions!

"Hmph, what a bullshit ancestor! You don't value the lives of our Soul Beast Clan at all!"

"I, Xiong Jun, have no need to kneel before a bullshit ancestor like you!"

With that, Xiong Jun spat fiercely, his eyes filled with contempt and ferocity!

In his eyes, since Yao Xuan was unwilling to help the Soul Beast Clan, he was unworthy of being its ancestor, much less of receiving Xiong Jun's obeisance!

"Xiong Jun! Shut your mouth!"

Hearing Xiong Jun's words, Di Tian's expression changed drastically, and he repeatedly tried to stop him.

Bi Ji, the Myriad Demon King, and the others also paled.

Yet it was already too late!

"Heh, a mere mangy bear dares question my decision? You truly have turned heaven's order upside down!"

As Yao Xuan's words fell, he slightly lowered his ten-thousand-li dragon body, his blazing-sun-like slit pupils glaring at Xiong Jun!

The next instant, every hair on Xiong Jun's body stood on end, and he trembled uncontrollably under the threat of death!

He wanted to run, only to discover that his body seemed nailed to the spot, unable to move at all.

Splat-!

The next instant.

An invisible, overwhelming pressure crashed down!

Before Xiong Jun could even scream, his enormous, hill-like body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that filled the sky!

Dark-gold fur, shattered bones, and flesh rained down like a torrential storm.

Scarlet mist spread across the entire shore of the Lake of Life.

In the space of a single breath, Xiong Jun, chief of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, with nearly five hundred thousand years of cultivation, perished!

This powerhouse, who had rampaged through the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years, had vanished like smoke and scattered clouds.

"Xiong Jun, he... he died just like that?"

Staring at Xiong Jun's remains, which barely even qualified as scraps, Di Tian's eyes were filled with shock!

Even he, though capable of defeating Xiong Jun, would have needed considerable effort and would even have suffered injuries!

Yet this very same powerful Xiong Jun had completely vanished like smoke and scattered clouds with nothing more than a glare!

Just what sort of terrifying existence was this Soul Beast ancestor before whom his sovereign was kneeling?

And it was not just Di Tian.

At that moment, Bi Ji, Zi JI, the Myriad Demon King, and the other Ferocious Beasts fell utterly silent, their faces deathly pale as they shook with fear!

Some even had their legs give way and collapsed to the ground.

Their gazes toward Yao Xuan also held a greater measure of fear and reverence.

"Ancestor, since you possess such strength, please save the Soul Beast Clan!"

Witnessing this scene, Gu Yuena's eyes held no fear. Instead, a glimmer of hope flashed through them as she kowtowed respectfully and spoke.

"Hmph, don't try to bind me with moral obligations. That doesn't work on me!"

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Yao Xuan gave another cold snort.

At that moment, Gu Yuena felt a terrifying pressure assail her. Her already gravely wounded body could not help trembling slightly, and her face grew a little paler!

"Please calm your anger, Ancestor!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena hurriedly apologized, then continued, "Ancestor, you just said that after traveling the mortal world, if you were happy, you would be willing to leave the Soul Beast Clan a path to survival."

"May I ask if there is anything our Soul Beast Clan can do?"

Having said that, Gu Yuena lowered her head again and waited for Yao Xuan's reply.

"While traveling the mortal world, there will be many things I cannot attend to personally. I happen to need a maid, and you seem suitable!"

"If you serve me well and make me happy, I could grant some of your reasonable little requests."

At her words, Yao Xuan spoke indifferently.

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, a conflicted look appeared on Gu Yuena's exquisitely beautiful face.

She had been the lofty Silver Dragon King, as well as the supreme sovereign of the Soul Beast Clan.

Yet now, she was to become someone else's maid.

Faced with such a tremendous fall in standing, how could the pride in Gu Yuena's heart allow her to accept it easily?

But when she thought of the lives of the countless Soul Beasts behind her, she had no choice but to forcibly suppress that pride.

"What, you're unwilling? I won't force you, but this attitude of yours puts me in a very bad mood!"

Looking at the hesitant Gu Yuena, Yao Xuan spoke indifferently. There was no anger in his voice, yet it sent a chill through her!

"Ancestor, that isn't what I meant..."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena lightly bit her red lip with her pearly teeth, her fingertips pressing gently into her palms as her body trembled slightly with inner conflict.

"Oh? Then what do you mean?"

Yao Xuan pressed her step by step, questioning her again. His powerful presence made Gu Yuena's body suddenly tense, leaving her struggling even to breathe.

"Ancestor, I'm willing to become your maid. Whatever your command, even if you ask me to offer you my body, I will not refuse!"

At that moment, Gu Yuena finally abandoned the last shred of dignity in her heart, then respectfully knelt on both knees and bowed her head in submission.
