"My lord?"
Although Na'er had only a third of the Silver Dragon King's, to Xiao Wu and the others, she was still their lord, genuine beyond question.
Na'er tilted her head as she looked at them, enormous question marks written all over her face.
Why have my Little Fox and little bunny both turned into big sisters? Why didn't they bring me along when they evolved?
Na'er burrowed a little deeper into Su Ling's arms, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't tell Gu Yue. I snuck out on my own," Na'er said softly. What was so fun about the Star Dou Great Forest? All she did was spend every day with a greasy gorilla.
Snow Ji and the others now felt as though their heads had swollen to twice their size.
If they sent Na'er back, they would be letting Na'er down. If they did not, they would be letting Gu Yue down.
This was so hard to handle! Hard to handle?
"Uh..." The Soul Beasts looked at one another.
"Just let me stay with Brother Su Ling. It's not like I'll run into any danger anyway." Na'er clutched Su Ling's arm, terrified that they would send her back.
"That's right. We're with Su Ling too. We can definitely protect Na'er," Xiao Wu chimed in.
During their days in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had been closest to Na'er, partly because they were both children, and partly because Na'er did not eat spicy rabbit heads.
The other Ferocious Beasts all ate Soft Bone Rabbits as after-meal snacks. Only Na'er gnawed on carrots with her.
"All right, all right." Snow Ji compromised too. Of everyone there, she had the most seniority.
"Then you mustn't run off," Su Ling reminded her kindly.
What if someone with ulterior motives abducted her to make her their little sister?
"Something with a powerful aura is approaching! It's... extremely fast!"
Wan Xiaoyao suddenly grew alert. Much like the Blue Silver Emperor, she could sense hostility through the surrounding trees. If she devoted all her strength to sensing, her range could even cover the entire Star Dou Great Forest!
Snow Ji and the others immediately readied themselves for battle, pink flames gathering in Snow Ji's hands.
Xiao Wu also moved beside Su Ling and Na'er, ready to teleport away with them the moment anything happened.
Several breaths later, an aged figure arrived above the inn where Su Ling and the others were staying, accompanied by lightning that filled the sky.
"Yu Yuanzhen?"
Bibi Dong, whom the Rakshasa God had turned into a young girl, had also hurried without pause to Su Ling's vicinity based on the livestream's contents.
Of course, she was in no hurry to expose herself and offer herself up for nothing. She could now be considered reborn, and the Rakshasa God had even thoughtfully resealed her hymen. She could not fall in with the wrong person as she had before.
She could not have been more familiar with the figure in the sky: Yu Yuanzhen, clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
But she remembered that when she last saw Yu Yuanzhen, he had only barely reached level 94. Although several years had passed, there was no way he could have made any great improvement.
At the absolute most, he could have broken through to level 95 and joined the ranks of Super Douluos.
No matter how long Titled Douluos could live, their golden years for cultivation were ultimately before forty, let alone at Yu Yuanzhen's age.
Unless he encountered an earth-shattering opportunity, there was no possibility of advancing any further.
Yet the aura radiating from the Yu Yuanzhen before her far surpassed that of a Level 99 Limit Douluo.
A demigod!
"Impossible! Impossible! How could Yu Yuanzhen have become a demigod?" Anyone else who saw this might merely marvel at Yu Yuanzhen's strength and good fortune in obtaining such an opportunity.
But Bibi Dong knew perfectly well that the only way to reach the demigod level was through a god's inheritance.
Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu were two current examples.
And the prerequisite for receiving a Divine Examination was exceptionally outstanding aptitude. Even without Divine Examinations, it was a certainty that Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi would break through to level 98, or even become Level 99 Limit Douluos.
But Yu Yuanzhen? An old man with one foot in the coffin? Someone who would have to burn incense in gratitude if he managed to reach level 96 in this lifetime-why would he receive a god's favor?
Even she did not possess the strength of a demigod yet. In fact, because of her Divine Examination, even her Soul Power had been suppressed a wee bit.
"Come out and have a talk, young friend." Yu Yuanzhen did not attack rashly either. He did not know just what quality the planets in Su Ling's hands were.
To prevent the shock waves of a battle from affecting the ordinary guests staying at the inn (Su ancient tomb opened medicine storehouse all compared again), Xiao Wu teleported the group some distance away.
"Who exactly are you?"
From the blue lightning coiling around him and the dragon-scale armor on his body, Su Ling roughly guessed his identity: Yu Yuanzhen, clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
The legendary man who had produced Yu Xiaogang with a thrust of his rod!
But he remembered that Yu Yuanzhen had only been level 95 in the original story. Surrounded and attacked by four Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall, he had ultimately fallen, relying on his powerful cultivation and Martial Soul to trade his life for one of theirs at his limit.
Yet the Yu Yuanzhen before him clearly had the imposing aura of a Limit Douluo!
Su Ling summoned his two Chaos Planets, ready to blast two holes through him at the slightest sign of trouble.
"You're no ordinary person either, young friend, so I won't beat around the bush." Yu Yuanzhen dispersed the lightning surrounding him to indicate that he meant no harm.
"I am not Yu Yuanzhen himself. I imagine you've already noticed."
Su Ling and the others were even more astonished to hear this. Could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have an ancestor like this?
Surely he could not have overslept during the battle that wiped out the clan in the original story?
Liu Erlong was even more bewildered. She watched that familiar face in the livestream. This... this face clearly belonged to Yu Yuanzhen.
Although she had not returned to the clan in several years, surely she could not fail to recognize even Yu Yuanzhen.
"What's your relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Who is Yu Yuanzhen to you?"
As a transmigrator, Su Ling was extremely vigilant. Being carefree in everyday life was one thing, but encountering something different from the original story still left him quite rattled.
"I am the Plane Spirit of the Douluo Continent. This body is merely one I seized."
!!!
"Then what have you come to see me for?"
Su Ling and the others swiftly adopted battle stances, ready at any moment to fight the Plane Spirit until the fish died and the net broke.
They still did not know how powerful the Plane Spirit was, and Su Ling's memories concerning the Plane Spirit were rather vague.
As he remembered it, Tang Hao had possessed roughly the strength of a Second-Level God after devouring the Plane Spirit.
Within the Douluo Plane, he could unleash even greater power.
The current Plane Spirit should still have been in his prime, making him even less of someone to underestimate.
Yu Yuanzhen waved a hand. "I have no intention of fighting you. I came to discuss a deal."
"A deal?"
He hasn't come to seize my body?
"I want this body of yours. In exchange, I will give you Yu Yuanzhen's body, and I will also secure a Godhood Inheritance for you!"
The Plane Spirit had long since noticed that Douluo Star was unusual, and had also detected the Asura God's conspiracy early on.
But as a Plane Spirit, he could do absolutely nothing about it.
"Uh..."
How was this any different from openly seizing his body?
