"Want to know?"
"Yes!"
Dugu Yan nodded, full of gossip. Although she felt a little sour inside, having been mentally prepared, she was more eager to see the usually icy little kitten with a flushed face. She felt that look was incredibly cute.
Ning Bei's smile immediately vanished. He pulled the woman onto his lap and gave her a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
"Night-glowing soul bone? Is that something just anyone can see? Always so gossipy!"
After struggling fruitlessly, Dugu Yan pouted and turned to look at Ning Bei.
"Hmph, if you're not going to tell me, then don't. I don't even want to hear it!"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Hmm?"
"Defeat me. As a reward, I'll tell you what happened."
Dugu Yan, who had just been listening with her ears perked up, immediately dropped her pretty face. How could she be a match for a Limit Douluo? Last week, she had managed a few moves against Ning Bei thanks to two years of pent-up frustration, but in her current state, she declared she couldn't do a thing.
The morning sun once again shone into the hotel room. Things were just as Dugu Yan had expected. Now, she was too lazy to even lift a finger, let alone care about gossip.
This continued for several days, completely dispelling Dugu Yan's idea of getting to the bottom of things. She brazenly ordered Zhu Zhuqing to bring her meals into the room, and what was even stranger was that the little kitten had no objections.
This situation made the little rabbit and Rongrong feel like ants were crawling all over them. The feeling of desperately wanting to know but being unable to find out made them extremely uncomfortable.
To avoid delaying everyone's assessment, Ning Bei suggested leaving Sea God Island after accompanying Dugu Yan for three days.
"Go, go, go, hurry up and go. You're not accompanying me, you're just doing bad things all day. It's better if you leave early."
Unlike the reluctance of last time, Dugu Yan, who had been bedridden for three days, was now bristling. She shooed Ning Bei away like a fly, and at the same time, she was certain that Ning Bei hadn't laid a hand on Zhu Zhuqing yet. Otherwise, since she had already begged for mercy, he should have snuck into the little kitten's room at night. Why would he only torment her?
Ning Bei inwardly cursed her heartlessness. Bah! Slut, used and discarded.
However, this trip had indeed been delayed for a long time, and returning was the right thing to do.
"Stinky brother, go back and explain to Ms. Huo. Her precious daughter misses her every day."
"Got it, got it. I'll explain to Ms. Huo. Her precious daughter asks who she is?"
"Ah!!! Do you believe I'll bite you to death?"
After teasing his sister, Ning Bei waved goodbye to everyone and set off on his return journey. Moreover, he hadn't forgotten the figure that had been following him closely when he arrived.
After flying several hundred kilometers outside the range of Sea God Island, the feeling of being spied on returned, just as expected. This time, Ning Bei didn't plan to hide anything.
"Isn't it impolite for Your Excellency not to show yourself?"
As Ning Bei spoke, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of him. A woman with skin as white as snow, translucent and crystal clear like mutton-fat jade, and exquisite, three-dimensional features appeared before him.
The woman's silver hair cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall. Her hair was smooth and had a silver crystal-like texture, appearing like moonlight pouring down or a flowing galaxy under the light. Her purple eyes were clear like gems, sometimes deep and mysterious, sometimes domineering and sharp.
The two stared at each other for dozens of seconds, and it was the woman who showed a hint of surprise on her face.
"You're not surprised at all? Did you guess who I am?"
"Haha, Senior is quite leisurely, coming here to play with me?"
"How did you find out it was me?"
"Senior, how many people in this world can possess dragon might and kingly aura?"
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow. Even in human form, the dragon might that the woman involuntarily emitted couldn't be faked. Combined with her appearance, the identity of the woman before him was already obvious: the co-lord of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King.
Hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in the woman's purple pupils.
"I couldn't hide it from you. That place should be the territory of a certain god, right? What are you going there for?"
The Silver Dragon King raised her chin towards Sea God Island. She was certain that the divine power emanating from there was not from the Ice God, but she couldn't say exactly which god it was.
This was understandable. After all, the Sea God had only become a god a thousand years ago, and by then, the Silver Dragon King had been severely injured and had left the God Realm for who knows how long.
"It's a place the Sea God uses to select successors. My disciple happens to have a water-attribute Martial Soul, and she has fortunately obtained the Sea God's Nine Trials."
"Oh? You have such a talented disciple?"
A hint of interest flashed across the Silver Dragon King's beautiful face. She seemed to want to know more about the disciple Ning Bei mentioned.
"Yes, a descendant born from the union of a human and a soul beast. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next Sea God."
"Half-human, half-soul beast? Not bad!"
When the Silver Dragon King heard that Nami had soul beast blood, she immediately showed a satisfied smile. Ning Bei was well aware of what she was thinking and knew that she wouldn't harm Nami, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Senior's injuries have healed?"
"Yes, thanks to your Myriad Soul Fusion Blood Pill, my injuries have recovered."
"After Senior's strength recovers, you should be a powerhouse of that level, right? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those guys in the God Realm?"
"You don't need to worry about that. After my injuries recovered, I placed a seal on my body. My current strength is only the limit of this world and won't attract the attention of those guys in the God Realm."
Ning Bei nodded and didn't dwell on the issue any further.
"Is there something Senior needs from me?"
"Didn't you say that Asura's chess piece is also on the continent? I want to go and see."
"Tang San is indeed living under my surveillance, but it will likely be difficult to do anything to him."
Ning Bei frowned. If the other party was determined to cause trouble for Tang San, he didn't have many good ways to stop them. Fortunately, the Silver Dragon King wasn't foolish and didn't intend to rashly charge in and kill Tang San.
"Don't worry, I won't alert the enemy. It's better to see if I can trip him up without disturbing the God Realm."
Hearing this, Ning Bei's expression relaxed. That would make things much easier. Anyway, he had the same idea, and having the Silver Dragon King involved wouldn't hurt.
"The other party is in the Kville Kingdom, which was originally part of the Star Luo territory. They are currently plotting to establish their own power."
He had expected the Silver Dragon King to immediately rush over upon learning Tang San's exact location, but to his surprise, the other party tilted her head and showed a naturally blank expression.
"Where is the original Star Luo?"
"Uh..."
Ning Bei stumbled on the spot, almost falling into the sea. He had forgotten that the woman in front of him had been recuperating in the Lake of Life for ten thousand years since arriving on the Douluo Continent. How would she know what Star Luo was?
Seeing Ning Bei's awkward expression, the Silver Dragon King asked again,
"Aren't you going? Can't I just follow you?"
"That's possible, but I'll go back to my sect first. Will Senior follow me or find a place to wait for me?"
"You don't need to call me Senior or anything. There's no such title in the world of soul beasts, and it also avoids exposing my identity. I'll follow you for now. I also want to see the human world."
Ning Bei spread his hands like LeBron James. If you don't want me to call you Senior, at least give me a name. Should I just call you Gu Yuena? What if you haven't even given yourself that name yet?
