Something's Not Right

"You idiot! Don't you dare mess with my teeth!!!"

Bao Liang Gu Yuena grabbed Bao Liang's wrist, he instantly bristled, his hair stood on end, and every cell in his body resisted.

What an expression of utter embarrassment and anger! Her face was flushed red, like a young girl about to burst with shame and indignation.

"Gu Yuena, calm down! Let's talk this out! Don't act impulsively!"

"Where did I act impulsively?" Gu Yuena looked completely innocent, but her grip on Bao Liang's wrist showed no sign of loosening; in fact, she tightened it even more, as if afraid he might slip away. "I just want to have a proper talk with you."

"Talk it out properly? Your eyes don't look like you're talking it out properly at all!!" Bao Liang struggled desperately, sweat pouring down his face, looking just like a frightened rabbit.

"My darling! Is this how you talk things out? You're clearly just after my body, you're shameless!"

"I'm still just a kid! A kid whose combined age in both lifetimes hasn't exceeded thirty!"

"Just stay away from me!"

Gu Yuena seemed not to have heard him. Her gaze swept over Bao Liang, finally settling on the slightly pulsating Heart of Creation on his chest. A fiery glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had seen her beloved treasure.

"Bao Liang, the Power of Creation within you originates from the same source as the Dragon God's Creation Godhead."

"You're talking nonsense!" Bao Liang denied it decisively. What did his Power of Creation have to do with the Dragon God God's precious Power of Creation?

"You claim to be from the same lineage? Why don't you just say Soul Beast in the world are from your dragon clan?"

"Wait, that's not right... Soul Beast seem to actually have something to do with the Dragon God."

"Don't be so quick to deny it," Gu Yuena said slowly, her tone becoming exceptionally serious. "Your Martial Soul also contains the bloodline of the dragon race. Although your First Martial Soul appears to be the Ultimate Flame, its essence is intricately connected to the Dragon God's Destruction Godhead."

Bao Liang's heart tightened; he knew something was wrong.

Why is the Silver Dragon King suddenly analyzing his Martial Soul? Weren't we supposed to be discussing terms and cooperation? Why are we talking about me now?

"What... are you trying to say?"

What I want to say is... you and the dragon race have an inextricable connection."

"Your Martial Soul contains the bloodline of the dragon race, and your Power of Creation shares the same origin as the Dragon God Origin. As the other half of the Dragon God, I have a natural connection with you."

"So..." Gu Yuena paused, a sly glint in her eyes, "There's no need for us to discuss conditions—we're family."

"A family?!" Bao Liang nearly choked on his own saliva. "You... you can't talk nonsense! I have a fiancée!"

"Wait a minute!" Bao Liang instantly realized, "I'm Chovy! You think you can get something for nothing?!"

Gu Yuena, however, disregarded Bao Liang's resistance, pretending to casually ignore the latter half of Bao Liang sentence, and continued, "Bao Liang, the Divine Trial you bear comes from the Divine Trial of the Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life."

"Destruction and life correspond precisely to the two divine attributes of the Dragon God: destruction and Creation. However, they are not as high as these two divine attributes; Destruction and life are considered lower-level attributes."

"The Power of Creation within you is also formed from the fusion of the two fundamental elements of Destruction and life. Is all of this really just a coincidence?"

Bao Liang remained silent, Bao Liang, Bao Liang looked at Gu Yuena as if she were a fool. "Who told you that Destruction and life are just low-budget versions of annihilation and Creation? Are you really a half- Dragon God?"

Bao Liang explained to Gu Yuena, "Destruction and life both refer to the limits and extremes of a path, while annihilation and Creation are products born from the fusion of laws. These two are completely incomparable, okay?"

"And what's with all this talk about 'from the same lineage'? Don't make your brother Bao laugh." Bao Liang Bao Liang became sarcastic, after all, he genuinely believed that pure Destruction and life were more powerful and complete than annihilation and Creation.

Besides, no matter how powerful a law is, without a skilled user, it's no different from a fire poker.

"If that's all you have to say, then let's not waste any more time." Bao Liang said indifferently, "I can tell you very clearly that I have no interest in your past or your grudges with the Divine Realm."

"Whether you want to conquer the Divine Realm later or die of old age on the Douluo Continent, it's none of my business."

"All I care about are those who love me and those I love. As for the lives of you Soul Beast..." He paused, "If I can become a god, I can propose to the God Realm Committee to reduce the intensity of the tribulation lightning for Soul Beast, and even consider making the tribulation lightning no longer solely for killing Soul Beast."

"Whether it succeeds or not, whether the Soul Beast can become a god, is none of my concern. This is all I can do."

Bao Liang finished speaking, silence fell over the surroundings.

Gu Yuena was still deep in thought, while Di Tian was overjoyed.

Bao Liang's words and the future he spoke of filled the Star Dou Beast God with joy.

If it weren't for the Lord and the Auspicious Beast, where would the Soul Beast ever have a chance to rise to prominence?

Look at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ago, they all went to Sacrifice themselves to humans like demons. Most of the Soul Beast that didn't Sacrifice died under the lightning tribulation.

What Bao Liang said, and the future he spoke of, was already the best news imaginable.

After all, he, as the Star Dou Beast God, knew all too well what the situation was like with Soul Beast in the past.

But if Bao Liang can actually do what he said, even just one thing, it would be incredibly good news for the Soul Beast.

Unlike Di Tian's excitement, Gu Yuena clearly wanted more.

But she understood that her probing and manipulative tactics had made the child no longer willing to trust her.

More importantly, what makes dragons dragons is their pride and dignity.

His rambling, manipulative tactics, and probing all stemmed from the superior's contempt and condescension towards the inferior.

This attitude crossed the line that the other party could not tolerate.

After all, his Martial Soul not only has the shape of a dragon, but also the aura of a dragon, and the pride of a dragon.

His own arrogance has led to the current situation.

If this continues, and we become enemies, even if he doesn't have the Power of Creation, as long as his Martial Soul remains, even the Dragon God himself cannot make him bow down.

I was too arrogant.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

She is the Silver Dragon King, the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom; she too has her own pride.

However, for the sake of the Soul Beast ' future, we can only try our best to make up for the current situation.

We absolutely cannot afford to antagonize them again, otherwise, if we push them to the side of the gods in the Divine Realm who despise the beast race, the problem will be much bigger.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and slowly said, "I understand. You've already done us a great help. If you need anything in the future, just ask Di Tian."

"However, there's one more thing I need your help with. You can name your terms, but please do me your favor."

Seeing Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, unusually humble herself, Bao Liang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

But the previous tactics still made Bao Liang wary.

There's nothing I can do; Bao Liang is just that petty, so what?

"Tell me the problem first, and I'll see if you need help," Bao Liang said decisively.

"After all, I'm just a mortal. If you ask me to resurrect the Dragon God, I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"They won't make things difficult for you... they shouldn't make things too difficult for you, right?" Gu Yuena said, but she became a little uncertain.

Bao Liang looked over and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Why did you suddenly go silent?"

Something's not right... Something's definitely not right!
