After asking the question that confused him, Xu Tianxi saw Gu Zhaoqiu laughing so hard that his body was shaking. The clear laughter like a silver bell filled his ears and was particularly refreshing.
"Hahahaha... If you think so, then think so. Anyway, you are mine now."
There was a strong possessiveness in Gu Zhaoqiu's words, as if he would not allow Xu Tianxi to refuse.
The next moment, she tiptoed, her graceful figure floating freely. After spinning a few times, she smiled softly at Xu Tianxi: "How did you feel just now?"
Xu Tianxi said honestly, "My mind is a little blank, I don't seem to feel anything."
How could it feel like to be separated at the first touch? It was far less lethal than Old Ji's sword energy.
"Um?"
Gu Zhaoqiu raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and threatened fiercely, "If you dare to escape, I will call Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the others to capture you. Your elders can't defeat the big black dragon, right? He has a move called the Dragon God Claw, which no human warrior has ever seen, because those who have seen it are gone."
"Beast God Di Tian is the second most powerful person on the continent. How can you use him like this?"
Xu Tianxi was stunned. How was such a shocking word formed when Di Tian used the Dragon God Claw to grab his kiss?
"I might as well tell you that when we sent our foolish master and the Yin-Yang Eyes back to the Star Dou Great Forest last time, Di Tian and the others were secretly observing us, but you just didn't notice."
Gu Zhaoqiu revealed the secret with a smug smile on his face. "I told Di Tian that the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were your gift to the Star Dou Great Forest. I asked him to think about what to prepare for me, and he didn't refuse."
Xu Tianxi fell into complete silence. Well, the thinking of these soul beasts was too unconventional. No wonder the big bear asked that kind of question when he came here.
Could it be that the big bear came here on the orders of Di Tian, and if I, Xu, don't cooperate, he will suppress me?
Seeing Xu Tianxi looking dejected like a wilted eggplant, Gu Zhaoqiu swayed on his toes and appeared in front of Xu Tianxi, saying softly:
"Don't be so discouraged, okay? Am I a bad person? I just like to be a little stronger."
"How about this, if you can cheer me up, I'll go ask Di Tian if he can teach you his Black Dragon Sword and Dragon God Claw. Aren't those your favorites?"
Xu Tianxi said expressionlessly, "Legend has it that Di Tian's Dragon God Claw was taught by the Dragon God himself during his lifetime. Only the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan can inherit it. It's uncertain whether I can learn it."
"Why spoil the fun? You are the patriarch of the Mountain Dragon Clan anyway." Gu Zhaoqiu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"You're so resistant to me, your sister. Aren't you worried that someone might be upset? Like your senior from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy? Or Princess Xingluo, who used to plot against Shrek and the Three Kingdoms with you a while ago?"
Xu Tianxi's expression changed slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said truthfully, "To be honest, a few years ago when I was still in the Xingluo Empire, the Xingluo Emperor and I had an agreement that included a political marriage, and that was with the Xingluo Princess."
Gu Zhaoqiu's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he nodded, "Is that so... You have a martial soul fusion technique, so it's not surprising that you have a political marriage. However, I see that you don't seem to be very familiar with her."
Xu Tianxi said calmly, "It's already a political marriage. Why bother talking about emotions? Wouldn't it be better for us to just work together to build our business? The marriage only provides a layer of mutual trust to ensure cooperation."
"The core is career, and marriage is incidental. She and I aren't that familiar with each other to begin with, so why not work hard together and strive for the ultimate achievement in this life?"
He thought he was clear-headed enough, and that the goal of his cooperation with Xu Jiujiu had always been mutual benefit, so he struck hard at the original Three Kingdoms and Shrek.
During this period, he even wondered whether he could secretly cooperate with the Xingluo Empire and use the fact that a large number of Titled Douluo had left Shrek from the Tianhun Empire in recent days to stir up conflicts between the two sides, or even lure this group of people out and ambush them again.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Jiujiu is obviously very sober. She is worthy of being a rare woman in the original novel who is not in love. She is determined to do things and has an unwavering will to fight.
After absorbing the Star Spirit Pearl, the problem that Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul could only be practiced at night has disappeared. Her starry sky sensing ability has been greatly improved, and she can also absorb the power of the starry sky for practice during the day.
To this end, Xu Jiujiu spent a large amount of his own money to build an observatory at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. When he is not doing anything on weekdays, he is practicing in seclusion day and night, which is very much in line with the practice style of a certain Xu.
"What about your senior sister? I think she seems very interested in you." Gu Zhaoqiu asked.
"As for Senior Sister Meng... I have a very close relationship with her, but not as close as Old Xiao. I don't know if my elders have made any agreement with the dean, and there probably isn't any need." Xu Tianxi looked a little hesitant.
He thought that the two alliances were sincere enough. Didn't he see that he temporarily gave the position of Lord of Heavenly Court to Xiao Hongchen before he went into seclusion?
Among all the current positions in Heaven, Xiao Hongchen is second only to the emperor and above a hundred others. He is the executive chief steward of Heaven. If he has the intention of forming cliques and factions for personal gain, he has a great chance of undermining the position of the Lord of Heaven and seeking power and usurping the throne.
Of course that was impossible. Xiao Hongchen had long given up the idea of catching up with him. Now he was concentrating on studying rare metals and striving to return to Mingde Hall to inherit the family property.
Alas, poor Young Master Xiao lost the glory of being the number one genius of the Sun and Moon Empire. He could only work hard silently, give up starting a business, and go home to inherit his grandfather's legacy.
As the second most talented person in the Sun-Moon Empire, he didn't need to go through any backdoor to inherit the position of dean and hall master. \
He could just work as the chief steward of the Heavenly Court for four years and then transfer to the Mingde Hall. He could then develop steadily and become the second youngest ninth-level soul engineer in the Sun-Moon Empire and inherit the throne.
Coupled with his glorious record as a core member of the team and his participation in defeating Shrek Academy, as well as Jing Hongchen's influence, no one in the country can object.
Of course, even if he became the new head of Mingde Hall, his experience of frequently violating school rules and being put in the small dark room of the Academic Affairs Office would be an indelible black mark.
History books would not record that he was a "four-good youth" who silently abided by school rules like him, Xu Tianxi, during his time at school, Xu Tianxi thought with some relief.
"Indeed, this guy has a better relationship with Xiao Hongchen. Meng Hongchen is not a concern. The only troublesome person right now is Xu Jiujiu. These two have a martial soul fusion skill, which is giving people a headache for nothing."
Seeing that Xu Tianxi could change the topic from Meng Hongchen to Xiao Hongchen so smoothly in the face of his questioning, Gu Zhaoqiu was immediately relieved and turned his head to worry about Xu Tianxi and Xu Jiujiu's martial soul fusion technique.
Even though these two people seem to be working hard on their careers now, no one can predict what will happen in the future. The thoughts from a few days ago came to mind again.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes sharpened, and she made up her mind. She smiled at Xu Tianxi and waved, "Good brother, come here. Elder Sister has something good to show you."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi's face was full of alertness, not daring to believe it easily: "What are you going to do? Don't do anything rash."
"Oh, will Your sister harm you?" Gu Zhaoqiu said with a smile.
Xu Tianxi's eyes drifted: "I'm worried that if something unexpected happens, Di Tian's Dragon Claw will descend upon my head."
Gu Zhaoqiu thought for a few seconds, then nodded slightly in agreement. She said regretfully, "Alas... In that case, I'll have no choice but to continue forcing you."
"What?"
"Release!"
Gu Zhaoqiu shouted, and soul light surged around his body. Rose-gold light gathered behind him and transformed into the light and shadow of an extremely beautiful soul beast, the three-eyed golden lion.
Xu Tianxi looked stunned, not knowing what Gu Zhaoqiu intended to do. His body shook, and soul light surged, forming a protective layer on his body surface.
No matter what, it's better to be careful.
Gu Zhaoqiu smiled sweetly and said, "Don't forget that my ability contains the power of destiny. I'm certainly no match for you, but you can't escape the gaze of my Eye of Destiny."
Xu Tianxi thought of something when he heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly drew a formation in the air. The gray starlight circled Gu Zhaoqiu and himself, and disappeared.
In the undead demiplane, Electrolux, who was sitting cross-legged beside Tang San's consciousness with a faint smile and no words, suddenly felt something. He turned his head and saw Gu Zhaoqiu appear not far away, controlling his three-eyed golden lion light and shadow to quickly approach Xu Tianxi.
The eye of life at the center of Xu Tianxi's eyebrows appeared naturally, and it matched the third eye at the center of the eyebrows of the three-eyed golden lion. The halos intertwined, and a wonderful guidance took place.
"Destiny Guidance? Tianxi is so lucky that this destiny beast actually took the initiative to guide his destiny."
Electrolux recognized Gu Zhaoqiu's true identity, twirled his beard and chuckled, feeling surprised.
In the nine-colored seal of the Silver Dragon King, Tang San opened his eyes with his spiritual consciousness, and the scene of Gu Zhaoqiu and Xu Tianxi's fate coming together came into his sight, and his eyes suddenly became fiery.
This is the three-eyed golden lion that he and I most want to get for Xiaoqi!
What a wonderful thing! As long as it is refined and this man and Xiao Qi become gods, the power of destiny will invisibly stand on his side, giving him more opportunities in the battle with the God of Destruction.
But...
"I can't get out now!!! Where are you? Why don't you come and save me? I'm in trouble now!"
Tang San's consciousness roared madly in his heart. He watched Gu Zhaoqiu and Xu Tianxi conducting the fate connection, but he and his original body were unable to follow the plan. He took the opportunity to throw Xiao Qi's split soul into Gu Zhaoqiu's eyebrows!
This means that all of my own and my master's brilliant plans are about to fail completely!
