Changes

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuena finally calmed herself down, then raised her head and looked at Xu Xingyu with her red-rimmed eyes, saying, "Welcome back."

Xu Xingyu could only offer a wry smile and a guilty expression, saying, "Yes, I'm back! I'm sorry I made you worry."

Although he and Gu Yuena were in love before, it was their first relationship, so he never fully understood how much he meant to her. As a result, Xu Xingyu sometimes had a vague feeling that things weren't really there.

However, Gu Yuena's emotional outburst this time also made him realize that his position in her heart was already irreplaceable. Even if a Tang Wulin appeared in this era, Gu Yuena would never pay attention to him. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena had engaged in sexual intercourse, which is a special feat for girls. It would be strange if they did it without a special place in each other's hearts, right? (Except for the kind of forced intercourse).

It seems I've been staying in the Origin Primordial Realm for too long. Once I entered the Origin Primordial Realm, I wouldn't have any doubts about this, and I would wholeheartedly believe that Gu Yuena would always stand by my side.

However, it's impossible to maintain that profit-driven personality for billions of years. It would be a lie to say that it wouldn't have any impact on one's original personality. It seems the best thing to do is to digest those memories as soon as possible so that one won't be constantly affected by them.

Just as Xu Xingyu was lost in thought, a cough interrupted his train of thought. Buer, with her hands on her hips, said, "Mom and Dad, I know you haven't seen each other in a long time, but could you please consider the others who are still here?"

Faced with their daughter's disgruntled expression, as if she had "had enough of this dog food," Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena felt somewhat awkward. After all, she was their adopted daughter, and it wouldn't do to just ignore her like this.

After they had calmed down, Xu Xingyu asked Gu Yuena, "By the way, did anything happen while I was gone?"

"Well, if we exclude the fact that you were trapped in the Origin Primordial Realm and nothing particularly serious happened," Gu Yuena said after some thought. "For the past six months, I've publicly stated that you entered a state of Deep Meditation, so no one else sent anyone to look for you. The only girls who did go to see you, although I didn't tell them about the Origin Primordial Realm, still felt something was off. Especially Wang Dong'er, because of her connection with you through the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she could vaguely sense your state. She didn't doubt your cultivation, but based on her connection with you, she still felt you weren't doing particularly well, so she always asked me about your situation. I could only try to gloss over it. Now that you're out, you can explain this to them yourself. I think you've kept those things from them long enough; you can trust them a little."

"Yes, I'll give this matter a lot of thought." Xu Xingyu nodded and said, "So, how's their progress in the God Examination and cultivation? They haven't fallen behind because I wasn't here, have they?"

"If you're asking about Wang Dong'er and the others, I can only tell you that they've been cultivating very diligently lately. Although everyone except Gu Qiuxi, who hasn't taken the exam yet, is still stuck on the First Trial of the God Examination, the First Trial is more like a training ground than a postgraduate entrance exam. So even if they could pass it quickly, they didn't immediately pass the test in order to lay a better foundation."

"Among them, Wang Dong'er has reached level 54 Soul King, Jiang Nannan is level 59 Soul King, Xu Yanxue is level 51 Soul King, Ma Xiaotao level 75 Soul Saint, and Xu Jiujiu has just reached level 70 and is currently absorbing Soul Ring from Soul Spirit to give her her seventh ring."

"How is Gu Qiuxi doing? Has her comprehension of the Blank God Position caused her to fall behind in her cultivation? Also, has the Golden Dragon King Bloodline been acting up during this time?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuena shook her head and said, "The Golden Dragon King Bloodline has been quite stable for the past six months. As for the blank Blank God Position position, I've told Gu Qiuxi to focus her energy on cultivating and refining the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. After all, unlike other God Position, the Blank God Position doesn't have any assessment; all she needs to do is imprint the laws she's learned onto it. So, things like refining the Blank God Position should wait until she reaches the Limit Douluo level!"

"The only problem is that Gu Qiuxi has always been slightly dissatisfied with her cultivation progress. Although her cultivation speed is considered relatively fast by Shrek standards, after all, she is already a level 48 Soul Ancestor, and there are few who can rival her in the Outer Court. However, compared to the other girls who have been given God Examination by you, her cultivation speed is still much slower."

"Don't be fooled by her rarely putting on airs in front of you and always acting like she's at your beck and call. At Shrek Outer Court, she's not only known as the Golden Dragon Princess, but also as the untouchable Queen. Any boy who dares to get close to her will be beaten to a pulp."

"That's really impressive." Recalling Gu Qiuxi's character as Wang Qiu'er in the original novel, she wasn't this domineering, was she? In my memory, she was a strong, queen-like character, but surely not with such a germaphobia? Or is it simply because she looks down on those inferior to her?

It's normal for Gu Qiuxi, as Emperor Auspicious Beast, to look down on humans from the bottom of her heart, because Emperor Auspicious Beast are beings bestowed with fortune, living darlings of destiny, born nobler than most species.

The Starry Dragon Emperor, as the first Emperor Auspicious Beast of the ancient Dragon Clan, has the authority to speak on this point.

I feel she's become a bit too arrogant. I guess I need to find some time to properly discipline, cough cough, teach this somewhat conceited younger sister a lesson.

Before that, however, he wanted to confirm the topic that Xu Xingyu was most concerned about. He turned to Gu Yuena and asked, "How is things at Dragon Valley? Did they break the seal while I was cultivating?"

Gu Yuena shrugged and said, "When I went to investigate last week, it was still sealed, so it's most likely still sealed now. You'll probably have to go there in person to unseal it."

"Okay, let's rest for a while and let me get used to my current physical condition before we rush the team to set off. It's safer to get the things in Dragon Valley this morning."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly said Youyou, as if she had thought of something, "Speaking of which, you made me worry about you for half a year, aren't you going to give me any compensation?"

"Compensation? What do you want? Wait, Na'er, where are you moving?! Don't pull my clothes!"

"Be good, okay? Let me enjoy myself tonight, it's been so long!"

At this moment, Buer was too shy to continue and returned to her original form. At most, she would observe the current situation through the Seed of Life of her former father to prevent any deaths.
