A moment later.
Everyone looked at Gu Yuena and Song Zhe with strange expressions.
In broad daylight, they actually did something so shameless.
Without any hesitation, Gu Yuena felt all of Song Zhe's bones.
It looked like an older sister figure taking advantage of a young boy.
"He can absorb the spirit ring of a five-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear."
Gu Yuena said with satisfaction.
Actually, to absorb a spirit ring with a powerful bloodline, one doesn't necessarily need an incredibly strong physique.
As long as the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is willing to let you kill it, the limit can be lowered, and there won't be a soul shock.
Only under a series of prerequisites did Gu Yuena provide this answer.
Of course, as the Co-ruler of Soul Beasts, she wouldn't force the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear clan.
She was merely acting as a lobbyist to see if any Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was willing to sacrifice its life.
And what they might receive in return was eternal life.
This was a huge gamble, and also Gu Yuena's promise to the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear clan.
"Big sister Gu Yuena, are you serious?"
Song Zhe had a look of bewilderment.
Doesn't this Co-ruler of Soul Beasts hate powerful Spirit Masters the most in her life?
Because the more powerful a Spirit Master is, the more spirit rings they need, and the higher the age requirement.
Even Di Tian, standing not far away, didn't refute her at all.
The strange actions of these two truly left Song Zhe feeling baffled.
"Of course. When has this King ever lied to you?"
Gu Yuena's tender eyes gazed steadily at Song Zhe.
From the moment they first met until now, she had never deceived Song Zhe, not even once.
"Brat, do you really know them?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as they weren't enemies with these two, it was fine; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape with Song Zhe at all.
On the other hand, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, with Ning Fengzhi's support, should be able to escape.
"I suppose I know them."
Song Zhe said quite uncertainly.
He had only seen the characters of Gu Yuena and Di Tian in the original work.
The current Douluo Continent had become unrecognizable to him.
For now, Song Zhe could only take things one step at a time, moving carefully and slowly.
"Zhe Xian, I really want to give you a beating."
Di Tian got angry seeing Song Zhe's expression.
This bastard who ate his fill and wiped his mouth clean, does he not want to take responsibility for the Lord?
Who are you putting on this helpless act for?
"Di Tian!"
Gu Yuena turned back and glared at him, and Di Tian immediately behaved.
Actually, she didn't know what exactly had happened to Song Zhe.
Presumably, once his strength recovered, he should remember the events of the past.
Gu Yuena wasn't in a hurry; she would just wait slowly for Song Zhe to become strong.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Xiong Jun."
Gu Yuena extended her slender palm and placed it before Song Zhe's eyes.
It seemed this woman, like Bibi Dong, had developed an inexplicable connection with him.
From Di Tian's tone, it sounded as if he were some heartless man.
"Oh, Elder Ju counts as one of my people."
Song Zhe took Gu Yuena's hand; it was soft and cool.
Her hand felt as if it had no bones, and Song Zhe couldn't help but squeeze it twice.
"That chrysanthemum, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Gu Yuena gave Song Zhe a reproachful glare, then spoke coldly to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
She was only gentle toward Song Zhe; she treated everyone else as enemies.
Especially these Titled Douluos, each of whom had nine spirit rings, meaning they had killed at least nine soul beasts.
"But..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned pale.
If he left like this, how could he explain to Bibi Dong? That Song Zhe was snatched away by a super Douluo?
Clearly, that was no different from seeking death, and he didn't want to die without a proper burial.
"The Lord told you to get lost. If you say another word, I'll kill you."
Di Tian didn't give Chrysanthemum Douluo a chance to speak at all.
Such a weakling wasn't worthy of speaking to him, Di Tian; he could completely instant-kill Chrysanthemum Douluo.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School group on the other side, he had no intention of paying them any mind.
"Little fellow, I'll wait for you outside the Star Dou Great Forest then."
Chrysanthemum Douluo thought about it and could only wait outside.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to account for it to Bibi Dong and would surely face severe punishment.
Looking at those two, they shouldn't harm Song Zhe; they were just helping him obtain the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's spirit ring.
This kind of soul beast's bloodline was extremely powerful, on the same level as the Forest King, Titan Giant Ape.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking.
Gu Yuena had already vanished with Song Zhe, and Di Tian, after giving the three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a deep look, also disappeared.
"Fengzhi, let's find a soul beast as quickly as possible and leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's face was slightly pale.
He could clearly feel that the man in black armor had strength exceeding his father's.
It was conceivable that the person was definitely a super Douluo, on the same level as the High Priest of Spirit Hall.
"Yes, that child's identity is not simple; we must consider this carefully."
How shrewd was Ning Fengzhi?
From the situation just now, Song Zhe was more or less connected to many powerful figures.
Because of this, he was even more curious about Song Zhe's identity.
He could have Chrysanthemum Douluo run errands for him and also knew experts at the super Douluo level.
Such a person was destined to become a top-tier expert.
"It's just a pity I couldn't take him as a disciple."
Chen Xin felt exceptionally regretful.
If he could take Song Zhe under his wing, someone would inherit his Seven Kill Sword Dao.
Looking at it now, if he insisted on taking Song Zhe as a disciple, he would likely only find a path to death.
"Daddy, why isn't that big sister wearing shoes?"
Ning Rongrong's attention was on Gu Yuena's feet.
Those small feet, like jade, stepped on the soil of the Star Dou Great Forest without catching a single speck of dirt.
Ning Fengzhi: ...How the hell should I know? Maybe she just doesn't like wearing shoes. He wouldn't dare to ask!
The three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sped up their search for soul beasts, while Chrysanthemum Douluo headed to an inn outside.
Meanwhile, he pondered how to account for things to Bibi Dong... Star Dou Great Forest, Core Circle.
Song Zhe was taken directly to the innermost core by Gu Yuena, without even seeing the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Azure Bull Python.
In the very center area, there was a vast Lake of Life, brimming with a dense aura of life.
The Lake of Life where the Sky Azure Bull Python stayed was just formed by a bit of lake water flowing out from here and merging with other waters.
By the Lake of Life, there was actually a small wooden cabin.
It looked like a human dwelling and was very clean; someone likely lived here regularly.
"Come in and sit."
Gu Yuena released Song Zhe's hand and slowly pushed open the wooden door.
There wasn't much inside, just a bed, a table, and a few chairs.
Gu Yuena picked up a teapot from the table and poured a cup of scalding tea.
Instantly, the entire cabin was filled with a dense aura of life, even more intense than that of the Lake of Life.
"Big sister Gu Yuena, I want to ask, what was our relationship in the past?"
Song Zhe thought about it and decided to ask first.
With Bibi Dong as a precedent, there was nothing he couldn't accept.
