Two days later, at the Lake of Life.
When Focalors opened her eyes again, her entire essence underwent a tremendous transformation.
Previously, she gave off a sense of ethereal vagueness.
Now, she gave the illusion of being truly human.
Her current body looked no different from a normal human's.
Of course, that was just the appearance.
"It's wonderful to live without worries like this."
Focalors was once a Oceanid. With the help of Egeria, she became a "human."
Yet she had never experienced a human life, not even for a day.
Now, she was free from burdens and had no sword hanging over her head; she was truly alive.
The scent of freedom.
Hearing Focalors' sigh, a hint of heartache flashed across Neuvillette's usually expressionless face.
But he quickly reverted to his emotionless demeanor.
After glancing around, he noticed that the essence of life had disappeared.
As for the life energy in the Lake of Life, Focalors hadn't absorbed it.
She had already returned to her peak state and had no need to deplete the lake's life energy further.
Focalors understood that without the essence of life radiating energy, the energy in the Lake of Life would dissipate within a millennium.
This matter would have to be dealt with when the time came.
For now, the Lake of Life was still beautiful and suitable for them to live in.
"Dear, I've returned to my peak!"
In an instant, Focalors appeared in front of Neuvillette, gently caressing his cheek with her right hand, smiling.
"Congratulations..."
Neuvillette responded calmly.
Although Focalors was currently stronger than him, give him a few hundred years...
No, not even that long!
Give him thirty years, and his strength would surpass hers!
With complete control of the ancient dragon's power, his speed of increasing strength was much faster than imagined, far faster.
Seeing this, Focalors silently embraced Neuvillette, falling into a moment of silence.
Some things didn't need expressions or words to be conveyed.
Listening to each other's heartbeat was perhaps more effective.
"Dear, are you thinking about something bad?"
After a while, Focalors looked up at Neuvillette and asked.
"No."
Neuvillette said with an unchanged expression. Heartbeat? If a strong person like him couldn't control his heartbeat, it would be for one of two reasons: either they were too weak, or they chose not to control it.
Clearly, Neuvillette wasn't the former.
When he said this, his heartbeat quickened by two beats.
Focalors, of course, sensed this, but she merely smiled without saying anything.
It was time to get down to business.
"Dear..."
"Hmm?"
"Mmm..."
'With the spirit of the foolish old man moving mountains, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.'
At that moment, Focalors was embodying that spirit.
The next morning, the two "people" left the Lake of Life and set off towards Sotou City.
In no time, they arrived at a lake.
"???"
Did Gu Yuena and Di Tian move to Da Ming and Er Ming's place?
Well...
On second thought, it didn't seem that strange.
The entire Star Dou Forest, aside from the Lake of Life, this was the best place.
Without disturbing the slumbering fierce beasts, Focalors and Neuvillette left directly.
Just as the two of them left, Gu Yuena appeared with Zi Ji.
She looked in the direction Neuvillette and Focalors had gone.
After a brief thought, Gu Yuena said to Zi Ji beside her, "You stay here."
Zi Ji: "..."
"Yes!"
Zi Ji hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement to Gu Yuena's order.
Protect the Silver Dragon King?
Don't be ridiculous!
If something happened, who knows who would be protecting whom!
Gu Yuena nodded and chased in the direction Neuvillette and Focalors had left.
In her view, as long as she didn't show herself, those two wouldn't be able to detect her.
One must know, her spatial techniques were also very advanced!
But Gu Yuena didn't know that Neuvillette and Focalors had already noticed her; they just didn't care.
By the time they arrived in Sotou City, it was already past eight in the morning.
When the two reappeared in the Soul Arena, Lexius and Moffett were overjoyed!
Though they could manage the arena, the soul masters participating weren't there to see them!
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back!"
"Little Neuv and his wife, today's matches are in your hands."
"My old bones can't handle it anymore."
While everyone was talking, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was wandering around Sotou City.
It was her first time in a human city, and to be honest, she felt a subtle yearning.
Such a prosperous city, so many people looking joyful...
Of course, she was observing in secret.
She was puzzled; Neuvillette and Focalors had the Lake of Life, so why did they leave?
Curious, she followed them.
Unexpectedly, the human world was so interesting.
Yes, interesting.
"That rabbit, did it transform into human form because it longed for the human world?"
Gu Yuena murmured.
Not only her, which fierce beast didn't notice Xiao Wu?
But at that time, the situation was urgent, so they didn't care.
In Xiao Wu's case, it was considered a betrayal of the soul beasts, and she was no longer part of their tribe.
From Xiao Wu's sorrowful expression, Gu Yuena didn't see any hatred.
Xiao Wu's transformation wasn't out of longing for the human world but to avenge her mother.
Unfortunately, over the years, she had forgotten about it completely.
The power of love is truly terrifying.
Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin longed for the human world, so she abandoned her people and took human form.
Unexpectedly, she too fell in love.
As a result, she paid with her life.
Of course, she didn't truly die but left behind a seed...
After observing for a while longer, Gu Yuena arrived at the Soul Arena, stealthily watching Focalors and Neuvillette.
To invite them to join the soul beasts' side, she first needed to understand them.
Speaking of which, Gu Yuena was quite curious about what kind of dragon Neuvillette was.
For producing strong offspring, Gu Yuena was very persistent.
It wasn't about love or affection.
It was purely a matter of reproduction.
In Gu Yuena's view, across the entire Douluo Continent, including the God Realm, only two dragons were suitable matches for her.
The Golden Dragon King was her first choice.
The Water Dragon King was the second.
Of course, not the former Water Dragon King, but Neuvillette, the current Water Dragon King!
While chatting, Neuvillette and Focalors frowned, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads.
What's up with Gu Yuena?
