Chapter 239: The Hostility of the Three Women

"Do you want to cooperate?"

Shi Quan thought to himself, this was the only purpose he could think of for Gu Yuena.

The God Realm does not allow Spirit Beasts to become gods.

Gu Yuena likely wants to take revenge on the God Realm, and the Dragon God's other half, the Golden Dragon King, is still sealed within the God Realm.

In other words, the God Realm is also Gu Yuena's enemy; as the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

If the Child of Heaven's Luck is truly as Gu Yuena says, even if Shi Quan did nothing, he would still be categorized by the gods of the God Realm into the camp of the God Realm's enemies.

Gu Yuena is already isolated and weak, so she naturally must win over Shi Quan, a partner with astonishing potential.

As for Gu Yuena helping him conceal the aura of the Child of Heaven's Luck, Shi Quan dared not gamble; if it were truly as Gu Yuena said, and the gods took action directly, then he would be done for.

Thinking of this, Shi Quan then spoke: "Regarding this matter, I know very little. Based only on your one-sided claims, how should I believe you?"

"I will do my best to assist you in attaining the position of God King. Before that, I do not need any repayment from you. I only need you to know whether it is true or false once you have attained the position of God King."

"Then what is the repayment you want?"

Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan with burning eyes and said: "I hope that after you become a God King, you can help me retrieve my other half from within the God Realm."

Gu Yuena could be said to be full of sincerity; if Gu Yuena really helped him attain the position of God King, with his numerous trump cards, he would have the confidence to fight even against the Dragon God in his prime.

It must be said, how could Shi Quan refuse such a deal where he would definitely profit and never lose?

"Fine."

Hearing this, a brilliant smile also appeared on Gu Yuena's face, "Shi Quan, you will absolutely not regret the choice you made today."

"Happy cooperation." Shi Quan extended a hand.

Gu Yuena looked at the hand Shi Quan extended and was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.

Shi Quan awkwardly withdrew his hand and explained: "Sometimes when humans reach a cooperation, they shake hands to show friendliness, meaning happy cooperation, and it can also deepen the trust between both sides."

"Is that so?" Gu Yuena extended her hand and said: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy, happy."

Shi Quan reached out again to shake it; explaining it like this always felt strange, but the Gu Yuena before him felt nothing at all.

Shi Quan let go of her hand and asked: "Where are you going next?"

Gu Yuena said directly: "I intend to follow you to experience the human world, and with me here, your aura will not be discovered by people from the God Realm, and I can also protect you."

"Ah?" Shi Quan rubbed his head; if he brought Gu Yuena back like this, the three women would probably blow a fuse.

"What?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly, "Is there a problem?"

"Nothing." Shi Quan waved his hand, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to dig up some soil."

Digging soil was naturally for planting Immortal Beans; as for the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he already had some stock in his Hundred Treasure Bag, and he had replenished some when he came up.

"Let's go."

Shi Quan flew out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first, and Gu Yuena naturally followed closely behind.

Shi Quan planted the Immortal Beans from the Hundred Treasure Bag, looked at the Immortal Beans in the bag, then looked at Gu Yuena to the side, and suddenly asked: "Gu Yuena, have all your injuries recovered?"

"There are still some injuries that have not recovered, but it has no impact on my strength."

"This bean might be good for your injuries, do you want to try it?" Shi Quan took an Immortal Bean from the Hundred Treasure Bag and handed it to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena suspiciously took the Immortal Bean from Shi Quan's hand, looked it up and down, and then asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is called an Immortal Bean, specifically used for recovery."

Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena; he gave the Immortal Bean to Gu Yuena also to see where the limit of the Immortal Bean lay.

The injuries on Gu Yuena's body were all caused by a God King; if Gu Yuena could recover directly after consuming it, then the practicality of the Immortal Bean would reach a terrifying level.

"Recovery?" Gu Yuena looked at the ordinary-looking Immortal Bean in her hand with a puzzled face; this Immortal Bean did not look like anything special.

But since it was Shi Quan's good intention, she felt embarrassed to refuse him, so she opened her mouth and ate it. To her, things from the Douluo World were of minimal help to her; anyway, it was just a bean, even if it were poisonous, it would have no effect on her, so she just ate it.

Then, as the Immortal Bean went down, Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted violently like an earthquake.

She only felt that the power within her body had been completely activated; a tiny bean seemed to contain endless energy, and it actually restored all the injuries in her body to their original state in an instant, even some hidden internal injuries were restored as well. The abundant energy caused her state to immediately return to its peak.

"Shi Quan, what exactly is the thing you gave me to eat?" Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan with a shocked expression.

Seeing this, Shi Quan also asked: "Have the injuries recovered?"

Gu Yuena said in astonishment: "That's right! Even the internal injuries in my body have all recovered, and it has even directly brought my physical state to its best."

"Even Gu Yuena can recover; at the very least it is effective for those below a First-Level God, it's hard to say about a God King." Shi Quan thought to himself, but on the surface, he said with a smile: "We are partners, I naturally couldn't watch you be injured, right?"

Gu Yuena was moved, and finally said softly: "Thanks."

"It's nothing." Shi Quan waved his hand.

He didn't feel pained; after all, he had a full ten Immortal Beans, and even after using one, he still had nine left. Moreover, for him, Immortal Beans were a renewable resource; since he had seeds, Immortal Beans could still grow. Taking one for Gu Yuena could both determine the specific effect of the Immortal Bean and win Gu Yuena's favor; it was killing two birds with one stone, so it wasn't a loss.

The two moved very quickly, and in the time it took for a quarter of an hour, they had left the Sunset Forest.

Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo's small courtyard.

"Xiao Quan is back." Dugu Bo looked toward the direction outside the courtyard and reminded the three women with a smile.

Hearing this, the eyes of the three women all lit up, and they looked toward the outside of the courtyard in unison.

Soon, the house door was pushed open from the outside.

Shi Quan and Gu Yuena walked in.

Seeing Gu Yuena beside Shi Quan, the expressions of the three women all changed, and the eyes with which they looked at Gu Yuena were immediately filled with hostility. The reason was none other than that Gu Yuena's beauty was even above theirs; seeing their own lover bring back a woman more beautiful than themselves, it would truly be a problem if there were no hostility.

As for Gu Yuena's appearance, Dugu Bo's first reaction was to be greatly shocked; he had only sensed Shi Quan's aura, but after the door was pushed open, two people walked in.

What did this prove?

The Gu Yuena before him had strength even greater than his own.

He couldn't see through her; no matter how he looked, he couldn't see through her.

"Xiao Quan, who is she?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, biting her lip.

Seeing this, Shi Quan hurriedly walked in front of the three women and explained, "Don't misunderstand, she is just a friend, and she and I have only just met."

"You just met and you already brought her home?" Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and twisted the soft flesh at Shi Quan's waist.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan also glared at him.

"Hiss." Shi Quan gasped, then hurriedly said, "Listen to my explanation, her background is not simple, she has a deep connection with Di Tian, and her strength is very strong..."

"Di Tian?" Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three women eased slightly, but they still felt somewhat uncomfortable deep down that their lover had brought a beautiful woman home.

"Xiao Quan, since she is a friend, why don't you hurry up and introduce her?" Dugu Bo helped Shi Quan ease the slightly awkward atmosphere on the scene at the right moment.

Shi Quan hurriedly introduced, "She is Gu Yuena, and she is also a dragon. As for her strength, she is no weaker than Di Tian."

Hearing this, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly; "no weaker than Di Tian"—these five words alone were already synonymous with being invincible.

Gu Yuena then said indifferently, "Di Tian is not my match."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

"Ahem, ahem." Shi Quan coughed twice, "What she said is true."

"Gu Yuena, these three are my lovers, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan. This is my grandfather, Dugu Bo."

Gu Yuena nodded faintly: "Hello."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Shi Quan looked at Dugu Bo and signaled with his eyes, "Grandfather Dugu, Gu Yuena needs to stay in Heaven Dou City for a period of time. Don't we still have empty rooms in the courtyard? Could I trouble you to help her tidy one up so she can stay here for a while? She is not very familiar with the human world, so if there are any issues, you can speak directly to her."

"Fine." Dugu Bo shook his head with a smile; he still had great respect for the strong, "Gu Yuena, follow me."

Gu Yuena nodded and followed Dugu Bo toward the inner courtyard.

Seeing Gu Yuena leave with Dugu Bo, the three women immediately surrounded Shi Quan.

"Xiao Quan, be honest, what exactly is this Gu Yuena's background?"

Shi Quan gave a wry smile; when Gu Yuena said she wanted to come back with him, he had already anticipated this scene.

He then patiently explained it to the three women.

After the three women learned the ins and outs of the matter, their expressions grew a bit more worried, "Xiao Quan, if what Gu Yuena said is true, wouldn't the entire God Realm be your enemy?"

"Pretty much." Shi Quan nodded lightly, "Gu Yuena's previous incarnation was the Dragon God, so she must have a deep understanding of the God Realm. What she said is very likely true, but there is no need to worry; don't I still have you all?"

"Once you each inherit your God positions, won't you be my backing? If it really comes to it, at worst I will just accept the summons from the God Realm. Rest assured, nothing will happen. It's just that Gu Yuena will likely be with us for a short time, and I just hope you don't mind."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that she is here to protect you, I would have already had Grandfather kick her out," Dugu Yan said indignantly.

Shi Quan chuckled, "Grandfather Dugu is no match for her, so don't make things difficult for him."

"Hmph, is that what we meant?" Zhu Zhuqing glared at Shi Quan.

Ye Lingling said gloomily, "Behave yourself, don't get any crooked ideas; we don't want another sister!"

"Understood, understood," Shi Quan said with a forced smile.
