Thank you, my future wife!
"I can't keep calling you Silver Dragon King forever, can I?"
Tang Feng said with a grin.
At this point, the Silver Dragon King had not yet chosen a personal name. She certainly wasn't called Gu Yuena yet.
So Tang Feng decided to put that on the agenda.
He couldn't exactly walk around outside calling her "Silver Dragon King." People would immediately realize she wasn't human.
"Then I'll call myself Gu Yue?"
The Silver Dragon King proposed a name.
Gu Yue sounded quite refined—somewhat elegant and immortal-like.
"That sounds a little too masculine. How about Gu Yuena instead?"
"From now on, outside, I'll call you Sister Na'er. You can call me Xiao Feng."
Tang Feng immediately suggested.
While Gu Yue wasn't bad, he preferred Gu Yuena.
The name "Gu Yue" alone felt incomplete, as if something were missing.
"Very well. As you wish."
"Xiao Feng, let's go."
Gu Yuena waved her hand and opened a spatial passage.
The two stepped out of the small world and reappeared in the center of the Star Dou Forest.
The moment Gu Yuena emerged—
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts immediately knelt and bowed in reverence.
"Congratulations, my Lord, on fully recovering!"
Di Tian was overjoyed.
With their Lord completely healed, they could finally lead the soul beasts in vengeance against humanity.
Over the years, countless soul beast races had been driven to extinction by humans.
Now that the Silver Dragon King had returned in full health, they finally had the possibility of challenging the Divine Realm.
"Di Tian, bring a piece of Life Gold."
Gu Yuena ordered at once.
Without Tang Feng needing to remind her, she had Di Tian personally retrieve it.
"Yes."
Di Tian departed swiftly.
Even without being told its purpose, he could roughly guess.
He specifically chose a piece of Life Gold about the size of a human head—not too large, not too small.
"You may all rise."
Gu Yuena lightly raised her right hand.
All the kneeling ferocious beasts were lifted upright by an unseen force—without exception.
"What a big kitty!"
Tang Feng suddenly exclaimed when he noticed a soul beast that had not taken human form.
It was over three meters long and eight chi tall at the shoulder, covered in brilliant golden fur.
Its body looked almost translucent, like crystal, giving off a strange texture.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion resembled a lion in overall shape, but its four claws were dragon-like, each stepping upon a cluster of golden flames.
Its muzzle was longer than a lion's, and beneath its fur were dense golden scales.
In addition to its normal pair of eyes, it possessed a third vertical eye.
Its two regular eyes shone gold, while the vertical pupil glowed red—a slightly demonic crimson.
"I am not some kitty! I am the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"
It protested loudly.
She was the revered Auspicious Beast, emperor among soul beasts, the fortune of the Star Dou Forest.
This was the first time a human had dared call her a "big kitty."
"Yes, yes, big kitty. I know."
"But be careful. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives capture you and steal the soul beast race's fortune from you."
Tang Feng suddenly used Absolute First Strike.
With absolute speed, he darted forward and vigorously rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head.
Ever since transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he hadn't had the chance to pet a cat.
Petting a giant Three-Eyed Golden Lion was far more thrilling than touching a wild tiger in his previous life.
"Xiao Feng, what do you know?"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly.
Tang Feng wouldn't speak without reason. There had to be a deeper meaning.
"I'm a disciple of the Goddess of Life. Even Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En knew my identity—yet they still hunted me down. What do you think the reason is?"
"Now that Shrek Academy has welcomed humanity's Child of Fortune, do you think some mysterious existence might want to seize the soul beasts' fortune?"
A cold smile curved on Tang Feng's lips.
He could roughly guess that a certain deity was orchestrating events behind the scenes.
Only by driving him away from Shrek Academy would the elders of Sea God Pavilion shift their focus onto Huo Yuhao.
Even though Huo Yuhao possessed both a Body Martial Soul and an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul—a twin martial soul genius—he still could not outshine Tang Feng.
Moreover, Tang Feng was Tang Ya's biological younger brother. Huo Yuhao would not become his enemy.
Therefore, forcing Tang Feng back to Star Luo City was the best option.
Wherever Tang Feng went, he shone like the sun.
Most importantly, Huo Yuhao would never enroll in Star Luo Royal Academy.
"I will leave a strand of divine power within the Auspicious Beast."
Gu Yuena waved casually.
A strand of her divine power entered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body.
If anyone attempted Attribute Guidance to seize the soul beasts' fortune, they would be blasted away instantly.
If power beyond the mortal realm intervened, it would trigger her contingency and alert her true body.
"My Lord, the Life Gold has been retrieved."
Di Tian returned, carrying the piece—roughly the size of a head.
It was more than sufficient for Tang Feng, who was still only a Soul Ancestor.
"Thank you, Di Tian."
Tang Feng accepted the Life Gold and stored it in his storage soul tool.
"Sister Na'er, let's bring my sister and return to Star Luo City."
"If I disappear for too long, who knows how Shrek Academy will smear my name."
Tang Feng was prepared to leave the Star Dou Forest.
Although cultivation here was excellent, he needed to appear in the human world.
In the future, when entering seclusion, he could return to the Lake of Life—an ideal place for cultivating an Ultimate Life martial soul.
"Di Tian, make preparations."
"Perhaps before long, we will directly confront the Divine Realm."
Gu Yuena spoke solemnly.
She understood exactly whom Tang Feng was secretly contending against.
Aside from those who ascended ten thousand years ago, who else would care about the continent's fortune?
"Sister Na'er, let's depart."
Tang Feng left the Star Dou Forest together with Gu Yuena and Tang Ya.
Along the way, Tang Ya frequently stole glances at Gu Yuena, her heart filled with both curiosity and fear.
The woman before her was the Lord of Beast God Di Tian—possibly even a true deity—and yet she was traveling with them?
"Can you have some dignity? Why do you keep staring at Sister Na'er?"
Tang Feng felt a headache coming.
His foolish sister had probably endured too much shock recently.
First, her martial soul evolved. Then they were hunted by the Sea God Pavilion. Then they encountered five ferocious beasts.
And now, even the co-ruler of soul beasts—the Silver Dragon King—had become Tang Feng's protector and was returning with them to Star Luo City.
"Sister Na'er is breathtakingly beautiful. Even you look dim beside her."
Tang Ya sighed sincerely.
She had never seen a woman as perfect as Gu Yuena.
Simply standing beside her made Tang Ya feel inferior.
Even her best friend, Shrek Outer Court's number one beauty Jiang Nannan, would lose all brilliance in front of Gu Yuena.
"There's a group of humans approaching rapidly from the left."
"Two Titled Douluo, ten Soul Douluo, twenty-six Soul Sages, and sixty-two Soul Emperors. They are not from Shrek Academy."
Gu Yuena suddenly warned.
The three of them had barely left the Star Dou Forest when they encountered a hundred-man soul master squad.
And every single one of them carried a thoroughly repulsive aura.
