Gu Yue Na Joins Him, Yang Tian Sets Sail

"You can tell me about any difficulties you have. I'm counting on you to help soul beasts escape their predicament. Besides, learning to borrow every available force is something a strong person should know how to do." Gu Yue Na nodded, her pale violet eyes fixed on Yang Tian.

Hearing Gu Yue Na's guidance, Yang Tian smiled softly and immediately said, "Do you remember the girl who was with me a few days ago? She has a Marriage Certificate. Help me annul that marriage."

Gu Yue Na's gaze flickered as she looked at Yang Tian in surprise, while an inexplicable discomfort rose in her heart. "You want me to help that woman break off her engagement?"

"Mm. It won't be difficult for you, but I might not be able to accomplish it anytime soon. I can handle the other matters myself. Besides, if I run into danger, won't I still have you?" Yang Tian nodded. Gu Yue Na was reluctant in her heart, but she had just agreed to help him.

"You have other things to do as well? Are they dangerous?" Gu Yue Na asked.

"It's fine. Not too dangerous," Yang Tian said.

Upon hearing that, Gu Yue Na immediately said, "I don't understand breaking off engagements, but I can follow you. That includes whatever else you need to do."

"You're coming with me?" Yang Tian looked at Gu Yue Na in disbelief. He understood what she meant. Wasn't she asking him to take a peerless beauty along to break off another peerless beauty's engagement? What kind of situation was that?

Still, Gu Yue Na's reasoning was perfectly sound. She did not know how to break off an engagement. Yang Tian really would have to make a trip to the Star Dou Forest. But with the Silver Dragon King around, wouldn't the travel time be greatly reduced?

As if she had seen through Yang Tian's thoughts, a smile appeared on Gu Yue Na's exquisite face. "I can't use spatial traversal too frequently. Otherwise, the gods of the God Realm may notice me."

Yang Tian stared at Gu Yue Na seriously. He wanted to say, Are you sure you're not just looking for an excuse to get closer to me? Still, having such a stunning beauty by his side all the time would feel pretty great. It was just a pity he could not tease her. Once he became strong enough, should he...~

After an intense mental struggle, Yang Tian decided to set off! Even if the road ahead was filled with countless trials and hardships, he would still depart. Even if he had to offer up his own body, he would not hesitate.

The two, each harboring their own ulterior motives, reached an agreement. Yang Tian returned to the Cultivation Room, leaving behind a letter as well as all the Holy Spring Water. The Holy Spring Water was naturally for Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu. Dai Mubai and the others had not earned that privilege.

Yang Tian did not tell anyone where he was going, nor did he tell Zhu Zhuqing what he intended to do. He merely gave everyone something to strive for.

The night was quiet. Yang Tian took out a map and confirmed the direction of Star Luo Imperial City. Then, with a wave of his hand, a black iron shell appeared before him.

Gu Yue Na curiously looked at the huge thing Yang Tian had suddenly taken out and asked, "Is this a tent? We haven't even started traveling, and we're already resting?"

Yang Tian smiled mysteriously without explaining. This thing was a product of technology—a luxury off-road vehicle with four-wheel drive. So long as the mountain roads were not too rugged, it could travel as if on level ground.

He opened the door and had Gu Yue Na sit inside. The leather seats were broad and comfortable. Gu Yue Na reclined in the front passenger seat, her graceful body fitting perfectly against it. Especially those full, perky peaks—they truly affected Yang Tian's driving skills.

As though she had noticed Yang Tian's gaze, Gu Yue Na's lips curled up slightly. Then she thrust out her chest and stretched lazily. "What is this thing? A carriage?"

Yang Tian's mouth went dry. Gu Yue Na shouldn't be this casual, should she? Or was she taking the initiative to offer herself for the sake of the soul beast clan?

Forcibly shifting his attention, Yang Tian started the car. A powerful roar of the engine rang out. "It's a kind of carriage that doesn't need horses. It should be able to cut two-thirds off our travel time."

A car was naturally much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but Yang Tian did not have enough fuel. Suotuo City was separated from the Star Luo Empire by countless miles. The gasoline in Yang Tian's Storage Ring was only enough for a one-way trip.

After hearing Yang Tian's words, Gu Yue Na frowned slightly and asked softly, "Why shorten the journey by half? Are you in such a hurry to annul her engagement? Is she prettier than me?"

Gu Yue Na's string of questions left Yang Tian unsure how to respond. He then said, "She naturally isn't prettier than you, but I don't necessarily have to like the prettier woman, do I? As for the journey, wasting too much time on the road isn't good for my cultivation."

Gu Yue Na ignored the latter half of Yang Tian's words. Her beautiful eyes gleamed as she softly said, "You won't necessarily like the prettier woman? That may not be true."

Yang Tian pretended not to hear her. The car set off, and he turned on some DJ music. Before she knew it, Gu Yue Na had begun swaying to the rhythm, nearly causing Yang Tian to drive the car into a ditch.

That morning, a majestic and imposing city appeared in Yang Tian's sight.

Barak Royal City!

This city lay directly across the only route Yang Tian had to take to reach the Star Luo Empire. To go around it, they would have to travel an extra two days. And the entire detour would be along rugged trails.

Outside the city gates, Yang Tian put away the off-road vehicle. Gu Yue Na looked at the royal city before her, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. She had never been to human society before.

"Na'er, once we enter the city, don't act recklessly, understand?" Yang Tian worried that some fool might provoke Gu Yue Na into killing someone on the spot. That would be truly troublesome. Though they were not afraid of trouble, fewer troubles meant reaching the Star Luo Empire sooner, didn't it?

As they walked toward the city, Gu Yue Na quickly caught up. Her beautiful eyes swept over the passersby, and then her jade-like hand hooked around Yang Tian's arm, pulling his forearm into her embrace.

His arm sank into softness. Yang Tian jolted in surprise, then looked at Gu Yue Na in confusion. Seeing this, Gu Yue Na pursed her lips toward a couple nearby. "They all do this."

"They're a couple."

"Then we're a couple too," Gu Yue Na said seriously.

Yang Tian was stunned. Then he asked, "Na'er, do you know what kind of relationship a couple has?" He was afraid that Gu Yue Na did not understand what being a couple meant, which was why he asked.

However, though Gu Yue Na had never been to human society, she understood some matters of human relationships. She immediately nodded. "It's that kind of relationship between a man and a woman, isn't it? What, you don't want to?"

Like a little girl, Gu Yue Na tilted her head and looked at Yang Tian. At that moment, she was playing the role of a young maiden inexperienced in the ways of the world. Combined with her flawless, exquisite face, Yang Tian felt his heart pound fiercely. He nodded without hesitation, then boldly rubbed Gu Yue Na's head. "I couldn't ask for more. I just never imagined that you, the mighty Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na, could have such an innocent side."

As Yang Tian's large hand stroked her head, Gu Yue Na froze slightly before closing her eyes. That warmth... At that moment, Gu Yue Na seemed to forget her identity as the Silver Dragon King. She became a weak little girl, enjoying Yang Tian's protection.

"Let's enter the city. We've been jolted around all the way here, so let's rest once we're inside," Yang Tian said. Gu Yue Na opened her eyes, somewhat reluctant to part with that warm and comforting feeling from before. But there was no way she, the Silver Dragon King, would take the initiative to ask for more head pats.
