It really is her!
Tang San's heart confirmed her identity.
However, there was one more thing he needed to explain to Xiao Wu and Guang Ling:
Why did he have a third martial soul?
"...That's basically it." Retracting his Five-Clawed Golden Dragon martial soul, Tang San used sound transmission to secretly explain the origin of his third martial soul to Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, while addressing Lan Yin Zi and the others, "You must keep my third martial soul a secret. Otherwise, I'll have to expel you!"
Fan Niu and Fan Ma looked on in admiration, Ling Meng and Ling Xi were stunned, and the sisters Mu Yanluo and Mu Qiluo looked at him with longing, all promising to keep it a secret.
Then, Tang San opened the mithril cage, and Gu Yuena stepped out, staring intently at him with a naive look. She asked, "Are you my relative? I feel a familiar aura from you."
Is this an attraction between dragon kin?
Wait! She doesn't have Silver Dragon King's memories!
Wow, the proud soul beast lord sure knows how to play around, not worried at all about her avatar being deceived, right?
In "Legend of the Dragon King," Na'er becomes a wandering orphan in a near-modern society; in this era of Douluo, she was captured and sold as a slave at an auction.
So what if she's lived a long time? Most of it was spent in slumber, making her experience over a million years nearly negligible. She might even be more naive than Xiao Wu.
Tang San even felt that the Gu Yuena standing before him wasn't just amnesiac but genuinely innocent, only remembering the law of the jungle.
"Hiss—"
Tang San suddenly felt a sharp pain in his finger. He realized Gu Yuena had bitten through his skin and was glaring at him fiercely, "What are you doing? Ouch!"
"Hmph!" Gu Yuena released his finger, wiped the grease from the roasted meat off her mouth, and said with a slight snort, "I feel like you were saying bad things about me in your mind."
"Why are you biting people?" Xiao Wu scolded her.
But Gu Yuena ignored Xiao Wu and said to Tang San, "I'm hungry. Since you bought me, shouldn't you take care of my food, clothing, and shelter?"
"Hmm, it seems you've learned some new words." Tang San pretended to evaluate her, then pointed to the torn contract on the ground, "Look, you're already free, so you'll have to take care of yourself."
"I don't care!" Gu Yuena pouted, "I heard that whoever buys me has to feed me, clothe me, and give me a place to live."
"Hehe." Tang San chuckled and said to Xiao Wu, "She's just like you were when you first joined Nuoding Academy, naive and influenced by bad information."
Recalling her own unrestrained speech when she first joined Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu blushed and said, "I'm not as unreasonable as she is. At least I knew you needed soul coins to buy food."
"Not much difference..." Tang San laughed but then felt a sharp pain in his waist. Xiao Wu was glaring at him threateningly, so he quickly changed his tone, "Hmm, you are definitely better."
Only then did Xiao Wu release her grip on his waist and whispered in his ear, "Tonight, Guang Ling and I will join you to study more blood and energy cultivation techniques."
"Indeed, the more knowledge about blood and energy cultivation, the better," Tang San said, pretending to be serious, causing Lan Yin Zi nearby to roll her eyes.
However, Gu Yuena looked innocent, but she felt displeased seeing Xiao Wu getting close to Tang San, like a child who had her favorite toy taken away.
She walked over and grabbed Tang San's arm, saying, "Those people said you have to take care of my food, clothing, and daily needs."
"No problem, I also want to study you a bit," Tang San replied with a smile, lifting Gu Yuena up and scratching her chin. He released a strand of soul power imbued with the aura of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, making Gu Yuena look blissful.
"Brother, that feels nice, do it more," she pouted when Tang San stopped the soul power flow.
"Who taught you to call me that?" Tang San asked curiously.
"The people who locked me in the cage. They said if I say nice things, I should call men 'brother' and women 'sister,' no matter their age," Gu Yuena revealed, selling out the auction handlers immediately. "If I didn't obey, they would whip me. But I bit off their hands and feet... hehehe. But when I call you brother, I mean it."
"I'm not sure I can trust you," Tang San thought, realizing that this Gu Yuena was vastly different from the one in "Legend of the Dragon King." She had absorbed too much inappropriate information for someone of her apparent age before meeting him. She was much more mischievous and knew how to use her cute appearance to her advantage.
A soul beast transformed after ten thousand years has extraordinary talents. If they are willing to learn, their progress surpasses ordinary humans. Moreover, Gu Yuena is part of the Silver Dragon King's soul and essence, making her even more exceptional.
Despite these thoughts, Tang San did not put Gu Yuena down because she kept clinging to him. Out of necessity, he held her in his arms...
Back at Silver Blue Manor, Tang San provided Fan Niu, Fan Ma, Ling Xi, Ling Meng, Mu Qiluo, and Mu Yanluo with clean clothes, bedding, and arranged rooms for them.
The six were amazed at the estate's vastness. Even Ling Xi and Ling Meng, from small noble families, couldn't fathom such an expansive manor.
As for Gu Yuena?
She didn't show much surprise, only a bit of curiosity about her surroundings. Given her special status, she wasn't treated like a servant but more like Lan Yin Zi—with reasonable requests accommodated.
That night, Tang San shared a bed with Xiao Wu and Guang Ling. After studying the art of blood and energy cultivation, Xiao Wu, still flushed, asked, "Brother, who exactly is Gu Yuena?"
If she were truly a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form, she would have some detectable signs, even with methods to conceal her aura. However, Xiao Wu couldn't discern any clues from Gu Yuena.
The girl didn't have the essence of a hundred-thousand-year cultivation within her!
"Her exact identity is unknown, but before transforming, she reached a divine level and was a silver dragon," Tang San explained, hoping to rationalize the Silver Dragon King's identity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu recalled that Da Ming and Er Ming had once told her about the Silver Dragon King, the soul beast sovereign hidden beneath the Lake of Life.
Could Gu Yuena be the Silver Dragon King?
Trusting Tang San completely, Xiao Wu revealed everything about Di Tian, the soul beast sovereign, and even mentioned the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ability to sense fortune.
Outside the room, Gu Yuena listened at the corner of the wall, puzzled, "Dual cultivation of qi and blood? What is that? Do humans also have significant research on the power of qi and blood?"
"But why do the sounds seem so strange?"
"It sounds similar to the passion during soul beast reproduction..."
Driven by curiosity, Gu Yuena returned to her room, climbed out the window, and stealthily made her way to Tang San's bedroom window.
Gu Yuena: "(⊙o⊙)…"
Humans really know how to have fun!
And that Soft Boned Rabbit, what kind of posture is that?
Only the most powerful soul beasts can lower their guard and enjoy such pleasures during this process.
Are humans naturally strong?
Unconsciously, the soul beast sovereign pondered this "philosophical question." Unable to understand, she climbed back to her room, her face flushed, and her mind replaying what she had just seen.
Shaking her head vigorously to calm herself, Gu Yuena thought, "Staying with Tang San will surely teach me a lot. I must create my own martial soul. Should I choose a weapon soul like the Silver Dragon Spear or a beast soul similar to my original form?"
The next morning.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling were the first to rise. After freshening up, they began practicing the Purple Demon Eyes. Tang San introduced the "Cosmic Meditation Technique 1.0" that he and Electrolux had developed to the two women, saying, "From now on, cultivate your spiritual power with this technique. It allows you to absorb not only the morning purple qi but also the starlight from the universe."
Under Tang San's guidance, the two women tried meditating and found that their efficiency in absorbing purple qi had greatly improved. They could even absorb sunlight.
However, the sunlight was too intense and difficult to refine.
"For now, focus on absorbing starlight at night in addition to the morning purple qi. The sunlight is too strong and can only be absorbed when you reach the Soul Sage level," Tang San cautioned, forehead touching Xiao Wu's as he absorbed the strand of sunlight she couldn't process.
"Got it." Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, lightly kissed Tang San's cheek, and giggled, "Let's have breakfast."
Not wanting to be outdone, Guang Ling kissed Tang San's other cheek and said, "Yes, San Ge, I'm hungry after our study of qi and blood last night."
