Seeing Qiu'er Again

After learning that Gu Yuena had completely broken the formation left by Tang San, Xu Xingyu began to plan with Gu Yuena when it would be best to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Finally, the two decided to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to take away the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's corpse after Xu Xingyu's year ended.

The main reason is that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is mainly supported by the dragon corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. After losing the power of the two Dragon King, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will cease to exist within a hundred years.

To destroy such a treasure so easily is, in Xu Xingyu's opinion, far too extravagant.

Moreover, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well also has many Plant-type Soul Beast, and theoretically they can be considered as Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena's subjects (this is assuming they are not completely devoted to Tang San).

Winning them over would greatly benefit Xu Xingyu's future plans.

Therefore, during this period, we also need to figure out how to prevent the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from being completely destroyed after losing the corpse of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Just as the two were pondering this, the door to Gu Yuena's office opened.

Gu Yuena seemed to have sensed something and immediately hid Xu Xingyu behind her back.

The person who opened the office door was a blonde girl holding documents. She was wearing a black top with gold trim and a black mini-skirt, beneath which were a pair of long legs clad in black stockings.

The girl had delicate features, a high nose, thick and long eyelashes, and snow-white skin. Her dazzling blonde hair was styled into a single ponytail.

What's most striking is her aloof, golden eyes, which give off a sense of pure indifference, like a high and mighty little princess.

Without a doubt, this is a girl whose beauty is in no way inferior to Gu Yuena's, and even surpasses that of Wang Dong'er when she grew up.

Although Xu Xingyu knew that such thoughts were somewhat impolite, for some reason he felt that he had seen this girl somewhere before, and that he seemed to have an inexplicable connection with her.

Upon entering the office and seeing Gu Yuena, the girl handed her the documents and said, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you. These are the documents you asked me to retrieve for you."

"Yes, thank you for your help." Gu Yuena reached out and took the document, examining it carefully before continuing, "This is the file. I'm so sorry to have troubled you and made you come all this way."

The girl shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It's my honor to help you, Tower Master. And there's that thing we agreed on before..."

Gu Yuena immediately replied, "I will do what I promised you. For now, you should familiarize yourself with the human world before worrying about these things."

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded and prepared to turn and leave Gu Yuena's office.

However, the moment she opened the door, she suddenly stopped, as if sensing something, and immediately turned to look at Gu Yuena, murmuring, "Brother Xingyu?"

Upon hearing "Brother Xingyu," Xu Xingyu, who had been hiding behind Gu Yuena, immediately peeked out and asked, "Do you know me?"

The girl didn't answer Xu Xingyu's question. Instead, after confirming that the other person was indeed Xu Xingyu, she ignored Gu Yuena was still present and hugged Xu Xingyu, shouting, "I've finally met you! Brother Xingyu!"

At this moment, Xu Xingyu was asking herself the three most important questions of her life: Who am I? Where did I come from? And why does this girl I've never met before recognize me?

Seeing this, Gu Yuena looked dejected and muttered under her breath, "It's over, our time together is gone."

The girl, looking at Xu Xingyu who still didn't recognize her, said angrily, "I'm Qiu'er! Your Qiu'er sister! Gu Qiuxi!"

As soon as Gu Qiuxi's name was mentioned, Xu Xingyu immediately thought of the younger sister she had taken in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the blonde girl in front of her, Xu Xingyu finally understood why she felt a sense of familiarity with this girl she had never seen before! It turned out to be the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

Looking at Gu Qiuxi, who had already transformed into human form, Xu Xingyu felt, for some reason, that her adorable little sister hadn't grown up yet.

The reason why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion obeyed him in the first place was because he was the reincarnation of the Starry Dragon Emperor, and theoretically the first Emperor Auspicious Beast in the Soul Beast Realm.

Therefore, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was afraid of provoking Xu Xingyu, who would then find an excuse to strip it of its status Emperor Auspicious Beast.

After all, she could clearly sense that even though Xu Xingyu had not fully awakened, the Power of Destiny belonging to the Soul Beast Clan still protected Xu Xingyu as the reincarnation of the first Emperor Auspicious Beast.

However, Xu Xingyu felt pity for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion because of Tang San's actions towards it in the original novel, so he did not use his status to boss the Three-Eyed Golden Lion around.

Instead, he took care of her like a kind older brother, which gradually turned the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's initial fear of Xu Xingyu into dependence.

Finally, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion voluntarily underwent Destiny Connection with Xu Xingyu, allowing him to awaken his control over the Power of Destiny ahead of time, while his own control over the Power of Destiny actually decreased.

Xu Xingyu felt very guilty afterward, so to thank the other party, she gave her the name Gu Qiuxi and regarded her as her younger sister.

This made the already high-ranking Three-Eyed Golden Lion even more exalted.

However, to Xu Xingyu's utter surprise, Gu Qiuxi would actually give up her carefree, princess-like life, transform into human form, and willingly become an employee of the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Indeed, she made a similar decision in the original story, but that was much later in the story.

The fact that it happened so much earlier than expected caught Xu Xingyu somewhat off guard.

As for why Gu Qiuxi transformed into human form and entered human society so much earlier, it all started on the day she took the initiative to Destiny Connection Xu Xingyu through their destiny.

At that time, Gu Qiuxi unintentionally imprinted Xu Xingyu of this life, as well as his memories of that life on Blue Star.

This also made her aware of the existence of books about the Douluo Continent on Blue Star, and it made her understand why Xu Xingyu was so good to her.

At the same time, she also knew the tragic fate that the Soul Beast would suffer in the future. She knew that in another world, she was tricked by an unnamed God King and sacrificed to a human, and in the end, her soul was completely devoured by that God King's daughter.

This made Gu Qiuxi secretly vow to change that so-called fate and to teach that Tang guy a lesson in the future.

By understanding Xu Xingyu's plans for the Soul Beast Clan in his memories, Gu Qiuxi also found the career she wanted to pursue and wanted to make her own contribution to the Soul Beast Clan.

To do this, she had to transform into human form and enter human society. So, after arguing with Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena finally agreed to Gu Qiuxi's request.

However, Gu Qiuxi must work as an ordinary employee at the Spirit Contract Pagoda for a period of time before she can become independent. Otherwise, if the naive Gu Qiuxi is allowed to enter human society directly, she will inevitably be deceived and end up selling herself.

This is why Gu Qiuxi appeared at the Spirit Contract Pagoda and is now holding Xu Xingyu tightly.
