Chapter 298: Negotiation, Teasing

Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, while looking at his expression, Gu Xuan's smile remained unchanged, with no intention of avoiding this question.

"If I were merely an ordinary person, I naturally wouldn't possess such power as the Soul Beast Clan does, but alas, my future will not be limited to this."

"If what you say is true, then as long as the Golden Dragon King has your resolve, I will have it return to the dragon clan."

Having said that, Gu Xuan's tone sank slightly: "But if it lacks discernment, perhaps we could find someone to replace its power?"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King's eyes first brightened, then dimmed again.

While the Silver Dragon King himself is willing to trust Gu Xuan, the Silver Dragon King who inherited the Dragon God's unruly nature may not; if that were the case, even if someone someday mastered the Golden Dragon King's power and could merge with it to become a Dragon God, would that Dragon God still belong to the Soul Beast Clan?

If we stand from Gu Xuan's perspective, it feels his decision is fine, but from its own standpoint, there would be a major problem.

It can get close to Gu Xuan, even let him make slight use of it, but it absolutely does not want to be controlled by Gu Xuan, because that is entirely a different concept.

Fortunately, for now this is merely an ideal, after all Gu Xuan currently lacks such power.

However, this ideal future is not particularly advantageous for it.

Although at that time the Soul Beast Clan's status and power will be far greater than now, and it will escape the nightmare of being unable to become a god, it could still be restrained by Gu Xuan.

As for Gu Xuan's inexplicable confidence, the Silver Dragon King, though still finding it hard to believe inwardly, sees that everything he has shown indicates he is not merely boasting.

After pondering for a long time, the Silver Dragon King slowly said: "Then let's see if Your Majesty has that ability; if you do, we lack the strength to rebel, and if you don't, all this is just empty talk."

Gu Xuan nodded upon hearing that: "You're right; then let's see how the final outcome turns out."

"However, since I now know your thoughts, let's proceed with the following matters according to my arrangements."

Pausing, Gu Xuan continued: "You won't suffer any loss."

At this moment, Di Tian's tea was also ready, and he poured a cup for Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan lifted the teacup, took a light sip, then nodded satisfied: "Not bad, it's the flavor my old man likes."

Upon hearing that, the Silver Dragon King smiled slightly, looked at Di Tian, and said: "Take a portion back for Your Majesty."

Di Tian heard this and felt helpless; this tea is a spiritual tea specially cultivated at the center of Star Moon Lake, which has the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the breath for Soul Masters' cultivation, with an annual yield of only ten catties.

Although Di Tian doesn't really understand tea tasting or the tea ceremony, he often drinks this; now giving a portion to Gu Xuan means he will have to drink less in the future.

But there's no choice; His Majesty has spoken, and we cannot refuse.

Gu Xuan noticed Di Tian's fleeting microexpression, smiled faintly: "I won't take your things for nothing; I've already planned your path, and you will surely reap benefits in the future."

Upon hearing that, Di Tian's expression shifted, then he took out an exquisite large jar from his Soul Tool and handed it to Gu Xuan, laughing: "Your Majesty misunderstands; this tea yields only ten catties a year, I was worried that amount wouldn't be enough for you to take back and drink."

Gu Xuan took the jar, paid no further heed to Di Tian, and said to the Silver Dragon King: "The power you need to restore your origin is too vast; the energy of the Binghuo Liangyi Yan is something I will need when I attain godhood, so your matter must be put on hold for now."

"But rest assured, when I attain godhood I will restore your origin and take you from the Douluo Continent to the God Realm."

"By then, with your strength becoming a first-tier god should be no problem, but the Soul Beast Clan's issue is not merely superficial; thus in the future I need you to become the Overlord of the Soul Beasts, so that all soul beasts, whether on land or at sea, fall under your control."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King first felt joy, but upon hearing the latter part his expression turned somewhat bitter.

"It's not that I refuse you, but this matter is not simple." The Silver Dragon King said bitterly: "Controlling the soul beasts of the land poses no problem, but the sea is another matter—because the sea is vast, and land-dwelling soul beasts have their strength greatly limited in the sea, which is not easy to achieve."

Afterwards the Silver Dragon King seemed to think of something and proposed: "However, you could act as you do on land—cultivate a powerful soul beast in the ocean to serve you; your wife is not the Successor of the Sea God, is she? For her this should not be difficult."

Gu Xuan heard this and nodded; this is indeed a good method, but as the Silver Dragon King said, the Soul Beast Clan's territory far exceeds that of humanity, especially at sea, where it is almost several times the size of the land.

However, at present there truly is no better option; we can only do it this way.

However, upon seeing the Silver Dragon King's graceful figure, Gu Xuan's expression shifted; he had just been thinking about discussing matters with her, but ended up forgetting to admire her beauty.

Noticing the change in Gu Xuan's clear gaze, the Silver Dragon King's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"You… what are you looking at?" the Silver Dragon King asked.

Gu Xuan also made no attempt to hide it, saying directly: "I'm pondering a question: although this body is formed by your spiritual power and soul power condensed with the aid of crystal, is your human true form after transformation also like that?"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's frivolous words, the Silver Dragon King's expression turned slightly cold: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? I know you human emperors enjoy the three palaces and six courts, but if you set your mind on me, I advise you to give up, I…"

Before the Silver Dragon King could finish speaking, he heard Gu Xuan continue: "I don't know how the talent of offspring born from the union of soul beasts and humans would be………… not…… not……"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan utter those words about soul beasts and humans producing offspring, the Silver Dragon King prepared to drive him away, for although her strength might not currently be a match for Gu Xuan's, she knew he would not act against her now.

After all, Gu Xuan currently lacks the ability to overturn the alliance between soul beasts and humans, and as for the future… even if Gu Xuan someday becomes extraordinarily powerful, that is still a matter for later.

If Gu Xuan insists on doing that to her, for the prosperity of the Soul Beast Clan she is not without the possibility of sacrificing herself.

After all, Gu Xuan's strength and talent are both top-notch, but since she and Gu Xuan have had little contact so far, it's hard to develop feelings in a short period.

Therefore, if Gu Xuan is willing to fully get to know each other, the Silver Dragon King does not find it hard to accept.

But then, upon suddenly hearing Gu Xuan say "not right," she couldn't help but ask: "What's not right?"

Gu Xuan smiled faintly and explained: "I think I should know how the talent of offspring from the union of soul beasts and humans turns out."

Gu Xuan thought of Tang San; even without any External Plugin, his possession of twin martial souls makes his talent count as top-tier on the continent, and Bi Bi Dong, who also possesses twin martial souls, is the best example.

And the talents of Gu Xuan and the Silver Dragon King are absolutely top-tier among humans and soul beasts; their offspring's talent will certainly not be lacking.

Gu Xuan explained the matter of Tang San to the Silver Dragon King in full; after hearing it, the Silver Dragon King's expression changed instantly.

"What's not right? Damn it, are you thinking about that?"

Meanwhile, Di Tian had already left the room, because he dared not listen to these things; although Gu Xuan's words were all teasing the Sovereign, the Sovereign hadn't said anything, yet as a subordinate he still had some sense.

Moreover, Di Tian was thinking, if the Sovereign could be with Gu Xuan, it seems that for both the Sovereign and their Soul Beast Clan, this would be a good thing………
