Chapter 61: Gu Yue Na's Heart Returns

Gu Yue Na saw Qian Qianji right before her, pressing on her, and really wanted to push him away.

But as soon as she pushed Qian Qianji away a little, her body was filled with an endless sense of reluctance that streamed into her mind.

Gu Yue Na was quite puzzled.

She is the Dragon God's Inheritor Dragon! She is a God King expert! She is the Sovereign of Soul Beasts! At least as the leader of the soul beast tribe, she should not be indulging in her own nature.

Gu Yue Na rose in resistance again.

But her resistance was quickly crushed by Qian Qianji, turning into a water source that merged into the lake water.

Qian Qianji joked, "Silver Dragon King, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

"Without me, if you wanted to wake up, who knows how long you'd have to wait—until the year of the monkey and horse?"

"You'd agree, wouldn't you, Silver Dragon King?"

Gu Yue Na fell into silence; she wasn't unwilling to refute, but simply couldn't.

The senses of her nature left her unable to utter a complete sentence for a moment, only knowing how to hum and haw endlessly.

……

By the time Qian Qianji and Gu Yue Na left the Lake of Life together, the skies above the Star Dou Great Forest had completely fallen into night.

Gu Yue Na remained silent for a long time, and had to accept the fact that, in her slumber, she had already become Qian Qianji's woman.

But she knew nothing about Qian Qianji, and she couldn't help asking him, "Now you should tell me who you really are, shouldn't you?"

"Don't try to fool me with the Fire Dragon King's lines; you're not the Fire Dragon King, at least not in divine soul aura." Gu Yue Na said this with extra certainty.

"Silver Dragon King, since you've seen through me, let me formally introduce myself: I am Qian Qianji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, humanity's greatest power."

"I am indeed not the Fire Dragon King; I merely possess his dragon body."

"The Fire Dragon King has long been dead; you can also regard me as the Fire Dragon King, as a reliance."

"You needn't worry; we share a common enemy—the deities of the God Realm."

"So, at least for now we are allies; I will not be detrimental to you."

"Allies?" Gu Yue Na scoffed disdainfully, "Killing Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and Chi Wang has greatly weakened the soul beast tribe's strength—what kind of ally are you?"

Qian Qianji did not refute either, simply saying candidly, "Their deaths were meaningful; to them it was an honor, anyway they were destined never to become divine beasts unless they attached themselves to humanity."

"If they attached themselves to humanity, wouldn't they become traitors to the soul beasts?"

"You'd say that's right, wouldn't you, Silver Dragon King?"

Gu Yue Na could not accept Qian Qianji's fallacious reasoning, and she retorted with a slight sneer, "By your logic, you were originally human, yet you abandoned your human identity, seized a dragon's body—doesn't that also make you a traitor to humanity?"

"How can I feel safe allying with someone like you who can abandon his own race?"

"Who knows, maybe you'll sell me out someday, and I wouldn't even know!"

"Silver Dragon King, what you say is indeed reasonable; as for being a human traitor, I'm merely pursuing greater power."

Qian Qianji calmly accepted Gu Yue Na's words and continued, "They don't want me to become a god, scheming against me; naturally I am unwilling."

"I naturally want to find every means to shatter their fantasies, their schemes."

"I have done nothing wrong!"

"At least before the gods of the God Realm are defeated, I am a trustworthy ally to you."

"After the gods are defeated, it will depend on whether you are tactless and clueless."

"As long as you are willing to obediently be my woman, I will be a man you can always trust."

"At least regarding my own woman, I can have a clear conscience."

"Silver Dragon King, all right, it's time for you to tell me your choice." Qian Qianji stared into Gu Yue Na's eyes.

Gu Yue Na very much wanted to refuse becoming Qian Qianji's woman, but she helplessly discovered that her body seemed to disobey her, slowly walking toward Qian Qianji step by step.

"Silver Dragon King, you are a God King expert, the Dragon God's Inheritor Dragon, the Sovereign of Soul Beasts—what are you doing? Hurry up and stop!"

But evidently, the roar in Gu Yue Na's mind was useless. She came before Qian Qianji, actively reaching out her arms to embrace him, her head lightly resting against his chest.

"This guy Qian Qianji is annoying, but this feeling is really not bad."

"Forget it, let him have it! If he ever dares to do something wrong to me in the future, I will surely castrate him first and then kill him."

"Hmph, you bastard Qian Qianji, are you satisfied now?"

Gu Yue Na obviously overthought it; Qian Qianji is not someone easily satisfied.

While returning her embrace, he spoke in a commanding yet alluring tone: "Silver Dragon King, kiss me."

"Kiss."

Gu Yue Na lifted her head, stood on tiptoe, and offered her fragrant lips.

Qian Qianji domineeringly occupied them.

Although it was just a kiss, it also made Gu Yue Na's body feel somewhat weak and powerless.

Qian Qianji gradually laid Gu Yue Na down.

Originally intending to pay respects to Gu Yue Na and accuse Qian Qianji, Zi Ji and Bi Ji both turned their heads away, daring not to look directly at Qian Qianji and Gu Yue Na.

The two felt their future held not a shred of brightness, never expecting that the Sovereign of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King, would be so thoroughly conquered by Qian Qianji in such a short time.

This was also the first time they had heard Gu Yue Na make such an excited sound.

This sound left Zi Ji and Bi Ji feeling ashamed, even awakening Zi Ji's innate nature as a dragon.

As for Bi Ji, her situation was much better than Zi Ji's, though her mindset had shifted; she felt she should seek a new reliance rather than follow Zi Ji in troublemaking.

And the one capable of conquering the Silver Dragon King before them—Qian Qianji—was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

Anyway, Di Tian, before his death, had also entrusted her and Zi Ji to Qian Qianji, ordering them to obey him—right? Bi Ji need not consider herself, but she must consider her own race.

Their Jade Swan Clan was never good at fighting; only these years, thanks to Di Tian's protection, did they have a chance to grow strong, gain a habitat, and no longer need to hide as before.

Now that Di Tian has died, for the sake of her clan, she indeed ought to find a new reliance.

Bi Ji continually urged herself inwardly, and her gaze toward Qian Qianji grew ever brighter and sharper, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

……

Qian Qianji and Gu Yue Na collapsed on the grass, leaning on each other.

At this moment, the entire Lake of Life, aside from Qian Qianji, Gu Yue Na, Ziji, Bijie, and Xiaorou, had not a single soul beast left.

The Lake of Life had completely become Qian Qianji's paradise.

Qian Qianji gently stroked Gu Yue Na's silver hair and asked, "Silver Dragon King, you haven't had a name since you were born, right?"

"Hmm, what's up?", Gu Yue Na replied softly, maintaining her previous posture, enjoying Qian Qianji's embrace.

Qian Qianji suggested, "From now on, you shall be called Gu Yue Na."

"Okay."

……

One month later, Gu Yue Na successfully conceived Qian Qianji's child.

Gu Yue Na bade Qian Qianji a reluctant farewell.

"Husband, I need to go down to nurture the fetus and heal my wounds; if you feel bored, go find Ziji and Bijie."

Gu Yue Na's injuries had not yet healed; even with the aid of Qian Qianji's divine power essence, she still needed the vast life force of the Lake of Life to continue repairing her injuries.

Bijie, hearing Gu Yue Na's words from afar, was undoubtedly the happiest.

Ziji, on the other hand, looked somewhat worried and grim.
