The Superbrain Began to Turn

Upon hearing this, Zi JI was slightly taken aback. She raised her clear and beautiful purple eyes and curiously looked at Bai Yushan, scrutinizing him for a moment. Seeing that the young man was clearly handsome and slender, yet his master cared so much about him, and recalling the mysterious young man that Bi Ji had mentioned repeatedly recently, a look of understanding flashed across her eyes.

She spoke softly, her tone tinged with a hint of probing and confirmation. "My lord, is this the Bai Yushan, whom Sister Bi Ji has been frequently mentioning lately, the one who possesses strange and mysterious arts?"

"Hmm." Gu Yue nodded lightly, her response calm.

Looking at the loyal Zi JI before her, a thoughtful glint flashed in her eyes. She preemptively spoke with a serious tone, "Na'er is right. Bai Yushan does indeed possess value worthy of our attention; he is far more complex than he appears. His power system, cultivation path, and physical foundation completely transcend the conventional framework of Martial Soul and Soul Power. Even we Dragon Clan have never seen such bizarre and heaven-defying abilities."

"But I haven't fully figured out his background, limits, or past yet; I still need to observe him closely and probe him slowly."

Gu Yue looked down at the boy, who still exuded a cold and aloof aura even in his unconscious state, and continued, "For the next few days, you will cooperate with me in this charade. In front of outsiders, conceal all your Dragon Clan -like aura and Ferocious Beast presence, disguise yourself as an elder of my family, keep a low profile, and never reveal your true form or the secrets of my clan."

Zi JI was completely stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment, and she couldn't help but ask, "Me? Acting?"

In her mind, Ferocious Beast with a history of 270,000 years, she held a venerable position and never needed to pretend or flatter. She had never done anything like this, deliberately acting or hiding her true abilities.

Now, however, she was forced to suppress her dragon might and disguise herself as an ordinary follower for the sake of a human boy, which truly surprised her.

"Um?!"

Gu Yue was somewhat dissatisfied. "You're so fussy about doing things. Are you trying to be the master?"

Seeing Gu Yue's gaze, Zi JI quickly agreed, picked up the heavy Bai Yushan, and carefully examined it.

This kid... he's actually quite handsome.

Bai Yushan Youyou awakens.

My eyelids feel heavy, and my whole body feels like it has been disassembled and reassembled, with a piercing soreness everywhere.

He didn't open his eyes immediately. He lay quietly for a few seconds, relying on his remaining rationality to quickly assess his condition. His wounds were tearing open all over his body, his strength was almost completely exhausted, and the 130,000 volts of electricity in his body had subsided deep inside, leaving only a faint trace to barely maintain his physical activity.

He remembered fighting to the death against four Four-Ring Soul Ancestor in the desolate forest on the outskirts of the city, finally unleashing the Thunder Dragon's Roar to clear the battlefield, and then collapsing from exhaustion.

Logically, he would either lie in the wilderness waiting for his injuries to barely heal before leaving to return to the Eastsea Academy, or he would be found and killed by the enemy; there was absolutely no way he could survive peacefully.

But now, a faint fragrance lingers around my nose, and I am on a soft and comfortable bed with a delicate and gentle touch, a world apart from the gray soil and gravel of the desolate forest.

If he were an enemy, there would be no need to go to the trouble of bringing him here; simply killing him would be the easiest solution. If he were an acquaintance, there would be very few people in the entire Eastsea City willing to risk rescuing him and capable of locating him quickly.

The thought had barely formed when a slight turning of the doorknob came from outside.

Click.

The sound wasn't loud, but Bai Yushan caught it precisely.

Almost instantly, the bewilderment in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by extreme vigilance and a chilling, menacing glint.

He was completely unguarded while asleep, but once awakened, his primal instinct for killing was always present.

The dormant Bioelectricity within the body instantly became agitated, with subtle currents flowing rapidly through the meridians. The muscles tensed and gathered strength. Although seemingly lying motionless on the bed, it was actually ready to erupt and launch a thunderous attack in an instant.

If anyone entering the room shows even the slightest malice, he will strike immediately, relentlessly until death.

The door was gently pushed open, and a tall, slender woman with purple hair walked in.

The woman was dressed in a purple outfit, with a beautiful figure, a cool temperament, and outstanding looks. She exuded an aura of aloofness and distance, as if she wanted to keep strangers at bay. She carried a bowl of warm, steaming tonic soup in one hand and walked slowly towards the bedside.

It's Zi JI.

Zi JI originally thought that the young man would be unconscious for a while longer, but when she opened the door, she was met with a pair of clear, sharp, and wary eyes.

She stopped abruptly, completely stunned.

On the surface, she forced herself to remain composed, maintaining a cold and aloof demeanor, her face expressionless and revealing no flaws. She calmly continued walking to the bedside and gently placed the soup bowl on the bedside table.

But deep down, Zi JI was completely panicked, her mind a complete mess, scratching her head frantically.

My lord! You didn't tell me he woke up so quickly! And you didn't prepare any lines or scripts for me beforehand! What am I supposed to do now? What am I supposed to say?!

The 270,000-year-old Hell Demon Dragon King, Ten Great Ferocious Beasts that intimidated all races, was now in complete disarray, losing all his usual composure and domineering presence.

She had never acted like an ordinary person before, and in front of a nine-year-old human boy, she was inexplicably nervous, afraid that she would say the wrong thing or reveal the slightest flaw and ruin Gu Yue's plan.

Zi JI thought she had concealed it very well, her face remaining calm and composed.

But she didn't know that Bai Yushan's observational skills far surpassed those of ordinary people. His Electromagnetic Clarity, which was kept on all year round, allowed him to have a keen eye for subtle facial expressions, changes in eye movements, and shifts in breath, almost to the point of precognition.

The woman before him appeared calm, but Bai Yushan precisely captured every fleeting hint of panic in her eyes, the subtle stiffness in her limbs, and the barely perceptible irregularity in her breathing.

It's confirmed. This person is very nervous and uncertain. There's a high chance they were given this assignment at the last minute and weren't prepared to deal with the situation of their awakening.

Bai Yushan instantly understood the situation. His tense killing intent subsided slightly, and his face remained expressionless. He spoke calmly, breaking the silence first.

"Thank you for saving me, ma'am. My name is Bai Yushan. Could you tell me your name?"

His tone was polite and his attitude gentle, completely unlike his previous fierceness; he looked like a well-mannered and handsome young man.

Zi JI secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this person didn't attack directly; thankfully, it was just a normal conversation.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she maintained her aloof demeanor, her voice cool and calm. "My name is Zi JI, and about saving you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yushan interrupted her.

Bai Yushan didn't give her a chance to lay the groundwork or exchange pleasantries. His thinking was clear, his speech was steady, and he directly deduced the key points step by step, with each sentence hitting the nail on the head.

"You don't need to be so polite. I can guess what's going on."

"You must be Gu Yue's elder. In the entire Eastsea City, given my terrible interpersonal relationships, almost no one could find me immediately, and no one would be willing to risk offending others to save me. The only possible candidate is Gu Yue."

"You were able to quickly find the deserted forest on the outskirts of the city and settle me in such a private and luxurious residence, which means that the power behind you is extraordinary and you have great influence."

"Gu Yue knows Na'er, and you are Gu Yue's elder, so there's a high chance you're from the same family or are allies of the same secret force."

"I've heard of Bi Ji before. Judging from your demeanor and abilities, you and Bi Ji must be acquaintances, or even peers or partners."
