Legend of the Dragon Clan? Gu Yue Na's Grand Gesture

The dragon's shadow might have been faked, but the pressure from the depths of the bloodline could not be.

Even as the Silver Dragon King, she felt an urge to kneel in worship before this power of the bloodline.

The Dragon God's dragon blood had been inherited through mixed-blood dragons whose bloodlines had been diluted hundreds of times over. Naturally, he could not evolve a perfect dragon body.

The dragon's shadow lasted only a moment before dispersing. Yang Tian's face was somewhat pale. Activating the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword earlier had exhausted his Soul Power and consumed a great deal of his vitality. Now that he had activated his True Dragon Bloodline as well, he was in the weakest state he had been in since beginning his cultivation.

"Yang Tian!" Zhu Zhuqing hurried over and supported his arm. Tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes. She blamed herself so much for being too weak. Yang Tian had helped her so much, yet she could not help him at all.

Yang Tian smiled and gently scraped the bridge of Zhu Zhuqing's nose. "Don't be afraid. They won't hurt us."

After saying that, he nodded at Gu Yue Na. "I'll recover first."

Gu Yue Na did not nod, but neither did she stop him. Yang Tian directly sat cross-legged. Large amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy were drawn in and refined by him, while the Soul Power within his body rapidly recovered.

"What happened?"

It was Gu Yue Na who spoke, and naturally, she was questioning Di Tian.

Di Tian did not dare hide anything and explained how Yang Tian had resisted them and overexerted himself.

Gu Yue Na nodded upon hearing this, then said, "Kneel!"

"Yes!" Di Tian did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately knelt before Yang Tian. He already understood Yang Tian's importance. The Silver Dragon King was injured, and the soul beast race had no path to godhood. Their only hope now lay with Yang Tian.

Yet Yang Tian's only connection to soul beasts was a faint bloodline link, and Di Tian's side possessed an inferior bloodline at that. Since they needed something from him, Di Tian naturally would not care about losing a little face for the greater good of soul beasts.

At this moment, Di Tian seemed to recall something and immediately transmitted his voice to Gu Yue Na. "My Lady, there is a transformed soul beast closely related to him. She is currently in the forest, along with some humans who are also his companions."

Gu Yue Na frowned and immediately said, "Ten Thousand Demons King, go protect those humans. Don't let anything happen to them.

Zi Ji, bring that transformed soul beast here."

"Yes, My Lady." Ten Thousand Demons King and Zi Ji left. Zhu Zhuqing stood helplessly beside Yang Tian, but after Gu Yue Na spoke, she was no longer quite as afraid.

Gu Yue Na's gaze fell upon Zhu Zhuqing again. "What is your relationship with him?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing gave Yang Tian a complicated look before softly answering, "F-friends."

Gu Yue Na pursed her lips slightly, then said to Scarlet King, "Find a three-thousand-year soul beast with darkness, starlight, and spiritual attributes.

Hmm... a Nether Moon God Butterfly would do nicely. I remember that a Hundred Thousand Year Nether Moon God Butterfly failed its tribulation several hundred years ago? Bring its soul bone as well."

Scarlet King's expression twitched. A Nether Moon God Butterfly? Wasn't that species nearly extinct? Still, he did not dare refute her and left at once.

Before long, Scarlet King returned, bringing a butterfly with a wingspan of three meters and a soul bone shaped like a pair of wings.

The butterfly's wings were dark purple, speckled with bright silver points of light. As its wings fluttered, it looked dreamlike and fantastical, incomparably beautiful.

Gu Yue Na looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "This is an apology for you. It can serve as your third soul ring. You may absorb this soul bone first, then absorb this Nether Moon God Butterfly's soul ring."

Zhu Zhuqing never could have imagined that Gu Yue Na would take the initiative to find a soul ring for her—and even provide a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

Zhu Zhuqing nearly fainted. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was a treasure that could cause bloody turmoil throughout the world of Soul Masters!

Still, Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head. "I-I'll wait for him to wake up."

Gu Yue Na frowned, but seeing Zhu Zhuqing's determined expression, she said nothing more. The Nether Moon God Butterfly had not been killed yet, so there was no rush to absorb anything.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing's ability to resist the temptation of such a precious soul ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone greatly improved Gu Yue Na's impression of her.

Yet not long after, Yang Tian opened his eyes. "Absorb the soul bone first. Please trouble Gu Yue Na to help her, otherwise she will have some difficulty absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

The Beast God need not remain kneeling either."

Gu Yue Na was delighted upon hearing this. She did not question how Yang Tian knew her name and immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian, her Red Lips parting slightly. "I... this is too precious."

She did not want Yang Tian to pay a price he did not wish to pay because of her. By now, she could infer some of the circumstances, so she still felt somewhat resistant toward this soul bone.

"You don't want a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? Are you stupid? Absorb it quickly. We need to get out of here soon, or Teacher Zhao and the others will worry."

Zhu Zhuqing still hesitated after hearing that, but when she saw Yang Tian's firm gaze, she finally nodded heavily and began absorbing the soul bone with Gu Yue Na's help.

The soul bone was a Butterfly Wing External Soul Bone left behind by a Hundred Thousand Year Nether Moon God Butterfly that had failed its tribulation. Its enhancement to one's physique went without saying. With this, Zhu Zhuqing would be able to absorb that three-thousand-year soul ring.

Everything was within Gu Yue Na's calculations.

Yang Tian watched it all unfold. He knew Gu Yue Na's purpose, and the system had just issued a mission as well. At the same time, he himself disliked Douluo's cultivation laws. Thus, even if Gu Yue Na did not ask him, he would find a way to change Douluo's cultivation environment in the future.

Yang Tian continued cultivating. Zi Ji returned, bringing Xiao Wu with her.

Xiao Wu was startled when she saw Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing in the deepest part of the core area. She wanted to step forward, but Zi Ji stopped her.

Time passed, and a night went by.

The Source Stone in Yang Tian's hand shattered, and his Soul Power rose to level thirty-five. At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing happened to open her eyes. A pair of brilliant purple-gold butterfly wings gently fluttered behind her back, breathtakingly beautiful.

Meeting Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Yang Tian smiled faintly. "Very beautiful."

Receiving Yang Tian's praise, Zhu Zhuqing also revealed a small smile before throwing herself into his arms.

In the embrace, Zhu Zhuqing's Red Lips lightly brushed across the corner of Yang Tian's lips before she hastily pulled away from his arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's too much. Heavenly Brother... do you still have a little sister like me in your heart?" Xiao Wu hid beneath a large tree, looking pitifully in their direction.

Gu Yue Na stood beside her at this moment. Even though she was not deliberately drawing Yang Tian's attention, he still could not help looking at her a few extra times.

Zhu Zhuqing naturally noticed this. Her lips pressed together, and the look she gave Yang Tian carried a trace of resentment.

"Xiao Wu, why aren't you hurrying to find Xiao San? What are you doing here? Don't you know that if something happened to you, Xiao San would go mad?" Yang Tian said to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu pouted, then said, "Isn't it because of you, Heavenly Brother? When did you become the Lord of Soul Beasts?"

Yang Tian was puzzled upon hearing this. At that moment, Gu Yue Na stepped forward and stopped a short distance before him. She bowed slightly and lowered her head. "The soul beast race is willing to honor you as our lord. We only hope that in the future, you can help the soul beast race escape its predicament."

Yang Tian had not expected Gu Yue Na to possess such boldness, to actually be willing to honor him as her lord.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been following Yang Tian all along, also widened her eyes, staring at everything before her in disbelief.
