Inside the room, Kong Ling, who claimed to be seeking Gu Yuena's guidance on cultivation, seemed somewhat distracted, his gaze constantly drifting towards the window.
Gu Yuena didn't quite understand her thinking, but she still explained the question Kong Ling had thrown at her in detail.
Meng Hongchen didn't stay there long. Having gotten the answer she wanted, she felt much more at ease and even wanted to hurry back to share the news with her brother.
In the end, Kong Ling took over the task of escorting Meng Hongchen from her brother and personally saw her to the door.
Seeing the ambiguous look in her older brother's and Meng Hongchen's eyes, this change in expression made her guess what was going on.
However, she still asked Meng Hongchen, "How did the talks go?"
A blush involuntarily rose to Meng Hongchen's face, and she said shyly, "It's done!"
Success?
What has this become!
Kong Ling's thoughts raced, then she realized that her previous guess was correct.
She just couldn't understand how her brother, who had always been "perfunctory" towards Meng Hongchen, had suddenly "fallen for it"!
She sought out Meng Hongchen with the intention of "driving away the tiger to devour the wolf," but now it seems she has "invited the wolf into the house."
Gu Yuena managed to defend herself, but Meng Hongchen has become her sister-in-law?!
Kong Ling's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated, and finally she sighed, "If it's you... I agree!"
Meng Hongchen had witnessed her brother's four-year relationship; such perseverance was truly remarkable and not something most people could achieve. She had already accepted Meng Hongchen in her heart.
Meng Hongchen was taken aback by these words; Kong Xuan had just said something similar not long ago.
I thought to myself, they can only be described as siblings, even their words are so similar.
Three days after Meng Hongchen's visit, the family welcomed another new guest.
Bi Ji, who had come all the way from the Star Dou Great Forest, only realized that the holiday had already started when she arrived at the academy.
She wasn't worried about Gu Yuena's safety, since if Gu Yuena were to break free of her seal, she could even put up a fight against Limit Douluo.
The powerful Divine Power belonging to the Ferocious Beast unfolded, and it quickly sensed Gu Yuena's aura.
Soon after, the small courtyard next to the palace welcomed the distinguished guest, Princess Bi Ji!
Looking at the three people opposite her, Bi Ji felt that things were really too difficult for her.
She should have shown sufficient respect to her master Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, and to Kong Xuan, who was also a "god".
But with Kong Ling, who was unaware of the inside story, around, she now had to act like a senior expert to show that she was an elder in the Gu Yuena clan.
This psychological struggle really made Bi Ji feel restless and uncomfortable.
However, in Kong Ling's eyes, Bi Ji was a perfect woman.
While possessing great strength, they also give off a gentle and kind feeling.
All I can say is that Bi Ji's acting skills are quite good; at least Kong Ling couldn't see any flaws in her performance.
" Na'er, this is the first time you've been away from your people for so long. Your father misses you dearly. Come back with me now."
Bi Ji tried to keep her tone calm; she didn't want to stay there a moment longer.
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena stood up. She had been away from the Star Dou Great Forest for several months and had some matters to attend to back home.
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling, brother and sister, saw the two out of the courtyard. Only then did Bi Ji relax a little. "You don't need to see us off. Thank you for taking care of Na'er. Next time I come, I will personally pay a visit to Silver Moon Douluo."
Just as Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena were waving goodbye, a voice rang in Kong Xuan's ear.
Am I now considered a normal human being?
That was Gu Yuena's voice, but Kong Ling clearly hadn't heard it.
The method of transmitting sound is a way of utilizing Divine Power, and also a manifestation of having extremely strong control over Divine Power.
"I guess so, but it's just barely passing."
Kong Xuan also transmitted his voice, naturally able to do so with his Divine Power at the Spirit Abyss Realm.
Fortunately, he had learned this trick from Yun Ming; otherwise, his identity as a "god" might have been exposed.
Gu Yuena blinked, her purple pupils revealing a thoughtful expression, thinking to herself, "Just passing the test?"
Bi Ji carried Gu Yuena as they flew over the Star Dou Great Forest.
The aura of the Ferocious Beast spread like a tide, and wherever it passed, the Soul Beast bowed their heads in submission. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast concealed their auras and dared not offend in the slightest.
The Soul Master who were hunting Soul Beast all changed their expressions drastically, sensing a deadly threat.
It could be said that wherever Bi Ji and Gu Yuena passed, everything instantly fell silent, as if the entire area had been put on pause.
Soon, they landed on the Lake of Life in the Core Circle. The lake water was as clear as a mirror, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled into mist on the surface of the lake.
Sensing the presence of Bi Ji, the Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle knew that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had also returned, and they all gathered towards the Lake of Life.
"My lord, you've finally returned!"
Di Tian emerged from the shadows, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a deep voice filled with reverence.
"Um."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her silver hair cascading down her back, her purple eyes sweeping indifferently over the Ferocious Beast.
Back here, Gu Yuena displayed the full majesty befitting the Silver Dragon King.
At this moment, apart from the Scarlet King who was "taking care of the children" outside, all the other Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle were here to welcome the Silver Dragon King's return.
She asked in a cool voice, "How has the Star Dou Great Forest been these days?"
Di Tian, representing the Soul Beast, replied, "Everything is normal; nothing major has happened."
After asking a few simple questions, Gu Yuena finally got to the point. " Bi Ji has already sent back information about my situation at the academy. What are your thoughts on that?"
The Ferocious Beast exchanged glances, knowing what Gu Yuena was talking about, but in the end, Di Tian was the first to speak.
"My lord, is Kong Xuan truly a deity? The last time I saw him, although he gave me a very special feeling, I didn't sense any divine aura at all."
Faced with Di Tian's questioning, Gu Yuena didn't offer much explanation, only saying, "If a god wants to hide something, do you think you can find it?"
As the former captain of the Dragon God's personal guard, he had seen many gods.
Therefore, upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, he realized his misjudgment; the power of the gods was indeed beyond his comprehension.
He then asked, "My lord, do you truly believe in so-called Soul Spirit?"
"Before truly witnessing the Soul Spirit Method, belief or disbelief is irrelevant."
Gu Yuena's expression was serious. She carried the weight of the entire Soul Beast Clan race on her shoulders, and this pressure left her physically and mentally exhausted.
But after encountering Kong Xuan, this "foreign deity," she inexplicably felt much more relaxed.
To Gu Yuena, the cooperation that Kong Xuan mentioned was like someone extending a helping hand when she was in her most difficult time.
Therefore, when faced with Di Tian's question, Gu Yuena said, "The important thing is that we might not be fighting alone anymore!"
