Don't Call Me Ancestor, Call Me Brother Xuan; Heading to Nuoding City, Meeting Xiao Wu for the First Time!

At that moment, Gu Yuena finally realized how discourteous she had been.

Her exquisitely beautiful face flushed crimson in an instant.

The nine-colored halo above the lake had yet to fade completely.

Ring after ring of ripples reflected on her silvery-white skirt.

"Ancestor... I'm sorry. I-I meant no offense!"

Gu Yuena lowered her head shyly, her voice quieter than a mosquito's hum, tinged with bashfulness.

"It's fine."

Looking at Gu Yuena's bashful expression.

Yao Xuan smiled and stepped up to her.

He gently cupped her soft chin, lifted her pretty face, and gazed into her eyes. "Well? Were you dazzled by my good looks?"

"Y-yes..."

Meeting Yao Xuan's gaze, Gu Yuena quietly admitted it, her cheeks still slightly flushed with embarrassment.

In those purple eyes, the Silver Dragon King's haughty aloofness had long since vanished without a trace.

"What an honest child. I like that!"

Yao Xuan smiled as he withdrew his hand from Gu Yuena's chin, then rubbed her head.

His fingertips slipped through her silver hair, soft and fine.

"From now on, don't call me Ancestor. You make me sound so old."

"When we're alone, you can call me Master. In front of others, Brother Xuan will do."

Watching Gu Yuena's ears redden under his gentle touch, Yao Xuan continued giving his instructions.

"Yes... Brother... Brother Xuan..."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.

After saying it, even she felt unbearably embarrassed.

She was the lofty sovereign of all soul beasts and the Silver Dragon King.

Why was I so unrestrained in front of Brother Xuan, even finding it a little hard to control myself?

How hopeless of me!

Of course, there was also a tiny trace of relief in her heart.

At least Yao Xuan had let her save a little face.

Outside, she would no longer need to call him Master.

"As for you lot, stay put at the Lake of Life. Don't cause me trouble while I travel the human world."

"Otherwise, you've all seen what happened to Xiong Jun!"

As his words fell, Yao Xuan turned toward Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts still prostrating themselves on the ground and spoke indifferently.

Wind blew across the Lake of Life, carrying up the faint scent of blood by its shores.

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, the ferocious beasts all bowed their heads in assent.

They dared not harbor the slightest disloyal thought.

Much less raise their heads to meet those slit-pupiled eyes that were like blazing suns.

"All right, Na'er, come with me."

With that, Yao Xuan turned and left the Star Dou Great Forest with Gu Yuena.

The next moment, Yao Xuan appeared outside Nuoding City with Gu Yuena.

As for why he had come to Nuoding City?

Naturally, it was to give plenty of "special attention" to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, that master-and-disciple pair of wolves and jackals in cahoots.

Having finally awakened, Yao Xuan also intended to find himself some more amusement.

And Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and his lackeys.

Naturally, they were Yao Xuan's finest toys.

Of course, there was Xiao Wu as well.

Although she was a little too ruled by romance, just like Gu Yuena.

Once she grew up, she would still be very much to Yao Xuan's taste.

Naturally, he could not give a woman away, handing her over to Tang San on a platter.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have awakened for nothing?

People came and went along the main road outside the city, some carrying shoulder poles and others driving carts, all hurrying past with their heads lowered.

"Brother Xuan, what are we doing in a human city?"

Looking at Nuoding City before them, Gu Yuena was somewhat puzzled.

"To travel the human world and have some fun, of course!"

Yao Xuan smiled and silently slipped into the city lord's residence with Gu Yuena, arranging legal identities for them both.

Next, Yao Xuan took Gu Yuena to Nuoding City's most luxurious restaurant, ordered a whole table of delicacies, and began sampling them.

Having gone a full hundred thousand years without eating meat, Yao Xuan felt a wave of satisfaction at finally tasting food from the human world again.

Not to mention that he had an exquisitely beautiful maid like Gu Yuena personally serving him food, so he did not even need to lift a finger.

Such a perfect experience left Yao Xuan thoroughly gratified.

Once he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Yao Xuan gazed into the distance and suddenly spotted a particularly eye-catching figure.

It was a little girl who looked only about six years old, with two long pink ponytails that swung back and forth as she ran.

She had a delicate little face that looked carved from pink jade, with a small nose and rosy lips, her whole face as exquisite as a porcelain doll's.

Her large pink eyes were bright and dewy, brimming with innocence and vitality.

Although she was still young, her figure was extremely slender, especially her lovely legs, which were long, slim, and beautifully proportioned.

Although her clothes were somewhat plain, they could not hide her naturally lively air.

It was easy to foresee that she would become a rare beauty once she grew up.

"Oh, isn't that Xiao Wu?"

Looking at that skipping figure, Yao Xuan recognized her at a glance.

Not merely because of her appearance, but also because she gave off a soul beast aura that set her apart from everyone else.

As a transformed soul beast still in her juvenile stage, Xiao Wu retained a very faint soul beast aura.

Although ordinary people could not detect it, experts at the level of Titled Douluo and above could still sense it, let alone Yao Xuan.

"Hmm?"

Following Yao Xuan's gaze, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes instantly fixed on Xiao Wu, and she could not help letting out a soft sound of surprise.

"This girl is actually a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast too?"

The next moment, a flicker of surprise passed through Gu Yuena's beautiful purple eyes, and she instantly understood why a seemingly ordinary girl had caught Yao Xuan's attention.

Deep in her heart, a peculiar, indescribable sourness quietly arose as well.

"Brother Xuan, that little girl is also a member of our Soul Beast Clan. Shall I help conceal her aura?"

Gu Yuena looked at Yao Xuan and used her divine sense to communicate with him silently.

"Meeting means we're connected by fate. Bring her over, and seal us off from our surroundings while you're at it."

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Yao Xuan gave his instructions indifferently.

"Yes, Brother Xuan."

At his words, Gu Yuena nodded, then gently waved her delicate hand.

A silvery-white spatial power silently enveloped the entire dining table, cutting everything within off from the outside world.

At the same time, another mysterious spatial power swept over Xiao Wu in a flash, then silently vanished.

The next moment, Xiao Wu felt her vision blur, and she appeared before Yao Xuan and Gu Yuena.

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes hard. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she abruptly raised her head and instantly saw Yao Xuan and Gu Yuena.

A sense of pressure washed over her, sending a chill through her entire body.

At that moment, Xiao Wu's heartbeat instantly quickened, and she became incredibly nervous.

Could someone have discovered that I was a soul beast?
