After explaining the information they wanted to know, Ning Bei walked back towards his residence. Before he had taken more than a few steps, a black mist rose from not far away, making him freeze in place.
Coming back to his senses, Ning Bei immediately flashed to the scene. He saw A'Dai holding the Dark Gold Magic Scythe, standing guard with a wary expression, while in front of him was the Great Mother Dragon with her usual expression.
Sensing Ning Bei's arrival, Gu Yue turned back to look at him and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I didn't expect there to be an inheritor of the God of Death. Your small Sect is truly full of hidden talents."
Seeing Ning Bei arrive and seemingly know the woman in front of him, A'Dai instantly breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his Martial Soul.
Just as he had gone out earlier, he heard a female voice suddenly come from behind him.
"I didn't expect there to be a fourth God inheritor."
A'Dai, who turned back in a panic, saw a woman he had never seen before. His body instantly tensed up, and he released his Martial Soul to confront the Great Mother Dragon. Fortunately, Ning Bei arrived in time to prevent the misunderstanding from escalating.
"Second Young Master."
"Yes, this is my friend, not an enemy. If you have something to do, you can go down first."
"I understand, Second Young Master. This guest, I apologize for just now."
After cupping his hands towards the Silver Dragon King, A'Dai turned and walked away. Since she was Ning Bei's friend, she wouldn't be his enemy. Knowing about the existence of a God was also fine.
After A'Dai left, Ning Bei turned back again and smiled at the Great Mother Dragon.
"What, are you marveling at our heaven-defying luck?"
"Indeed, a rare God might not seem like much to the people around you anymore."
The Silver Dragon King agreed with Ning Bei's words and nodded sincerely. Then, she also showed a rare smile.
"It seems the final chance of success will be very high. Even if Asura's pawn successfully becomes a God, I can't imagine how he would be a match for so many Gods."
"It's better not to be careless. I don't want to end up failing."
A small interlude didn't cause any ripples. Soon, Ning Bei instructed his servants to bring dinner to the Silver Dragon King. Looking at the large table of exquisite food, Gu Yue's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Do you humans eat in such a complicated way?"
In the eyes of Soul Beasts, there was no such thing as cooking. Even fierce beasts in the core area would have bloodstains all over their faces after eating.
"Haha, human life is very short, so of course we have to enjoy the most pleasure in the shortest amount of time, and delicious food is one of them. Try it."
Nodding, the Silver Dragon King directly imitated Ning Bei, picked up the chopsticks in front of her, and reached towards a dish shaped like a finely carved white jade sculpture. This was Xiao Wu's favorite Gathering of Heroes.
Just as the Great Mother Dragon's chopsticks were about to touch the dish, the Pill Tower suddenly bounced out of Ning Bei's hand, and waves of fluctuations came from within, instantly changing his expression. He thought to himself:
Damn it, I forgot about Qiu Er.
The Silver Dragon King opposite her immediately stopped her movements. Feeling the strange energy mixed with the pill fragrance, she showed the biggest change in expression since Ning Bei had seen her, looking at the Pill Tower with a look of horror.
"Such strong power of destiny. Is this the Emperor Auspicious Beast?"
Sighing inwardly, since he couldn't hide it anymore, Ning Bei had no intention of continuing to conceal it. With a wave of his hand, Qiu Er appeared from the Pill Tower. Drooling, she rushed to the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.
While stuffing her mouth full, she was also complaining about Ning Bei.
"Ugly Big Brother, you have delicious food and you want to hide it from me and eat it secretly."
As she spoke, her eyes kept scanning the food on the table that she loved to eat. Finally, she saw her favorite Braised Monkey Brain, which was in front of Gu Yue, at the furthest position from her.
Qiu Er didn't care about the Great Mother Dragon's gaze fixed on her at all. She came to her side, pushed her away from her seat with her butt, and started feasting on the monkey brain.
The Great Mother Dragon, who had been pushed to her feet, looked at Ning Bei opposite her with a stunned expression.
"What's going on?"
Her feeling was definitely not wrong. The aura on the black-haired woman in front of her was clearly unique to the natural king of the beast race, the Emperor Auspicious Beast. But why would the Auspicious Beast be involved with Ning Bei? She should have been born in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing this, Ning Bei decided to play dumb. Anyway, you don't know that I know the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
"Uh, is there a problem, A'Yue? This is my recognized sister, Qiu Er."
"Sister? This is the Emperor Auspicious Beast. Her growth and safety are related to the fate of the entire Soul Beast race."
"Ah? Emperor Auspicious Beast? Qiu Er was just picked up by me from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's surprised expression slowly recovered. This way, it made sense why the Emperor Auspicious Beast would be born in the human world. Turning her head again to look at Qiu Er, who was eating ravenously, the Great Mother Dragon's eyes gradually softened.
"Child, do you recognize me?"
...
The answer to the Great Mother Dragon's question was a mixture of chewing and the sound of bones being crushed. This also made the Silver Dragon King show an awkward expression. When had a Soul Beast dared to ignore her?
Ning Bei on the side made a face like a police officer trying not to laugh, almost failing to hold back. He really didn't believe that Qiu Er, this greedy girl, would leave with the Great Mother Dragon. After getting used to the Eight Cuisines, you want her to go back to eating raw meat and drinking blood? What kind of beautiful dream are you having?
Although he thought this in his heart, he still had to give the Great Mother Dragon some face. Ning Bei tapped the table to attract the attention of Qiu Er, who was fiercely gnawing on the monkey brain with oil dripping from her mouth.
"Wh-wha-what's wrong!"
"Ahem, the one behind you is the ruler of the Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King."
Following Ning Bei's gaze, Qiu Er looked back at the Silver Dragon King while gnawing on her food, and her eyes met those purple pupils.
Seeing Qiu Er look over, the Great Mother Dragon also tried her best to maintain what she thought was a kind smile, but Qiu Er's reaction broke her defense. The other party just glanced at her, then turned back to look at Ning Bei again, continuously stuffing food into her mouth.
"Oh."
Qiu Er merely let out an "oh" before fully dedicating herself to the task of eating again. As for the Silver Dragon King? Who's that? Not very familiar!
Seeing this, the great mother dragon could only sigh helplessly.
"Child, are you willing to return to the Star Dou Great Forest with me? You bear the mission of the Soul Beast race."
"Munch, munch, munch, slurp!"
The only response the Silver Dragon King received was the sound of Qiu Er eating. This caused the great mother dragon's usually placid expression to slowly darken, and a rare vein popped on her forehead.
Just as the Silver Dragon King was about to say something else, she was interrupted by Ning Bei waving his hand from across the table.
"A'Yue, why don't you wait a bit? Qiu Er doesn't pay attention to anyone when she's eating."
The great mother dragon's brow furrowed slightly, but she ultimately didn't refute Ning Bei's words. She picked up a chair, sat down at the dining table, looked at the table full of dishes, and absentmindedly took a few bites. The unique flavors did make her eyes light up slightly, but her attention quickly returned to Qiu Er, who was focused on eating.
"Was she already in her Soul Beast form when you found her?"
"No, when I first found Qiu Er, she was just an egg. At that time, all the Soul Beasts in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest were gathered around the egg. You should know that my Pill Tower has a similar ability. Although I didn't know what was inside the egg, I still put the egg into the Pill Tower and brought it back."
