Chapter 730: My Name is Gu Yuena…

Qin Jian stared at the surface of Yin Guang Lake, his eyes not blinking once, not wanting to miss a single moment.

"Puff."

Just at this moment, a snow-white figure broke through the water.

"Splash!"

Just like a dolphin leaping out of the water, it brought up thousands of waves.

That slender, fair body turned and rose, long black hair dancing along with it.

A faint, elegant fragrance suddenly spread in all directions.

"Swish, swish."

A black dress emerged from her snow-white shoulders, rapidly covering her upper body and spreading downward, concealing that perfectly rendered figure.

She spun in mid-air, lightly tapping her jade feet, and landed on the surface of the lake.

"Splash."

Only then did the water spray fall completely, scattering all around, setting off the black-clad girl standing gracefully there.

Qin Jian looked carefully, his eyes instantly dazzled by that heavenly face.

Her long hair was as pitch-black as the night sky, dancing without wind in the bright light, gently caressing her jade-like face.

This was a girl beautiful to the point of being eerie; every part that made up her face was exquisite to the point of absolute perfection, soul-stirring and captivating.

On her body was a pitch-black dress, swaying without wind just like her long hair.

Beneath the skirt, her slender, snow-white calves were revealed, and a pair of delicate, lotus-like pink feet hung naturally, their tips touching the lake surface.

Each exquisite toe was crystal clear, as if carved from jade.

Qin Jian's gaze returned to her face, but he was surprised to find that her appearance was almost exactly the same as Na'er, simply a Na'er who had grown up by a few years.

His eyes locked onto the girl's face, unable to move away for a long time.

Especially her pair of purple eyes; it was as if all the most tranquil and rippling waves in the world were condensed into these dreamlike, illusory eyes before him, transforming into a poetic, dreamlike, immortal charm.

The girl's gaze also landed on him, seemingly observing his expression with great interest, including the surprise of their first meeting, the awe when they locked eyes, and the confusion when he saw her face clearly.

"Finally met..."

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, so ethereal it seemed not to belong to this world.

Qin Jian's body shuddered, and he saw the beautiful girl's lips curl into a soul-stirring arc.

"Lit-tle. Fel-low."

She said it word by word, and the three words she spat out made Qin Jian's mind go instantly blank.

"W-what little fellow..."

His bewildered appearance made the arc of the girl's lips curve even more, as if she were even more delighted.

"All the flesh, blood, and bones in your body come from me, so aren't you my little fellow?"

The ethereal voice was very pleasant, but it also left Qin Jian speechless.

"You know you gave me your blood and flesh, then you..."

Qin Jian's voice trembled slightly: "Then are you... Na'er?"

"No."

The girl's unhesitating denial made Qin Jian's heart plummet: "My name is... Gu Yuena."

"Then how do you know about the things between me and Na'er?" Qin Jian asked, unwilling to give up.

Gu Yuena smiled brightly: "She and I were originally one; she gave up her own consciousness, so her memories naturally returned to me."

"Then is she... still there?"

Qin Jian clenched his palms unconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but slightly restrain her smile: "You, like her very much?"

Qin Jian remained silent.

"That consciousness was only a part of my awakening, and its purpose was also to help me recover faster. She has now completed her task and should disappear," Gu Yuena said softly.

Qin Jian suddenly looked up: "No, you shouldn't be called Gu Yuena, you are Gu Yuena, the current you is not complete at all."

Gu Yuena shook her head noncommittally: "Memory and consciousness are two different things. I look at her memories as if watching a past life; this is not something I personally experienced, so how could I be moved? Therefore, I am only Gu Yuena, not Na'er, and certainly not Gu Yuena."

Qin Jian lowered his eyes: "If you are only Gu Yuena, then why is your appearance exactly the same as Na'er? This is... the appearance I thought of bit by bit."

Gu Yuena raised her jade hand, gently touched her own face, and smiled like a flower: "I just think appearance is not important, so if it can make my little fellow a bit happier, that's not bad."

"Is that so..."

Qin Jian lowered his head and muttered.

Seeing him in such a sorrowful state, Gu Yuena's heart suddenly tightened slightly.

She suddenly stepped forward with her lotus feet, lightly tapping across the water, and drifted to Qin Jian's side, bringing a rich fragrance.

"Little fellow... don't be unhappy..."

Gu Yuena reached out and gently touched his cheek: "Those three gods outside bullied you, didn't they? I will help you kill them."

"Are you really..."

Qin Jian felt the cool, jade-like hand on his cheek, and his eye sockets involuntarily turned slightly red: "Are you really not Na'er..."

"Sigh..."

Gu Yuena shook her head and sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that an unintentional act ten thousand years ago would give rise to so many things, not only causing me to recover tens of thousands of years early but also creating such entanglements with you..."

She took her hand away from his cheek, moved her lotus steps, bypassed his body, and walked outward.

"I will kill these few gods."

Gu Yuena's eyes suddenly became filled with Killing Sword Intent, and various elemental powers slowly gathered around her.

"Hum!"

At the same time, the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in her hand.

But just as she was about to step out of the mist, a pair of powerful arms suddenly hugged her tightly from behind!

Gu Yue was slightly startled, and felt herself leaning against a warm, broad chest.

She turned her head slightly and saw Qin Jian's face appear by her right shoulder.

He had his eyes slightly closed, as if he were sensing something.

"You..."

Gu Yue wanted to break free, but was afraid of making him unhappy.

Besides, for her own child, a hug should... be quite normal, right?

"You..."

Qin Jian slowly let go, his voice hoarse: "You are really... not her."

He was as familiar with Na'er as he was with himself.

He knew every reaction Na'er had when hugged, including her slightly stiffening waist and her earlobes turning a little red.

She would struggle slightly, and would chide him or shyly say, "Let me go."

But this Gu Yue before him looked at him only with affection, and when hugged, she was also doting; she didn't treat him as a lover at all, but only as her child...

"You have returned all your Divine Power to me; protect yourself in the coming battle, do not be impulsive," Gu Yue said in a very calm tone as she continued to walk forward after he let go, "I am going to slaughter the gods."

"The Rakshasa God and the Speed God do not matter, but the essence of the Sea God's Divine Power must be obtained," Qin Jian said lowly behind her, "I am counting on you."

Gu Yue's slender, upright back paused for a moment, then she nodded slightly: "Okay."

Sss.

The mist slowly became thin the moment she stepped out, and then vanished.

"She's out!"

The Sea God, the Rakshasa God, and the Speed God, standing outside the Forbidden God Barrier, felt their spirits lift, but then tensed their bodies.

They naturally knew what the awakening of the Dragon God's remains meant; even with only half of the Dragon God's power, it was not something they could stop.

They could only hope that this Dragon God had not yet fully recovered...
