Thinking of this, she slowly knelt down on the ground, "Thank you, Master, for allowing this!"
This scene prompted the ferocious beasts like Di Tian to stand up one after another, wanting to rush over and lift her back up...
How could their leader of the Soul Beast Clan kneel to a human!
However, they were stopped by Gu Yue's sharp gaze!
Leng Yaozhu naturally noticed her actions and hurried over to help her up, speaking gently, "Gu Yue, with our relationship, there is no need for such a grand gesture."
"Just... if you are willing, could you call me 'Mom'?"
Gu Yue subconsciously wanted to say it but swallowed her words instead...
"Sorry, Master, I have always thought of you as family, but to call you by that name is a bit..."
She was the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, by nature without parents!
So, for her to say those two words was very difficult!
Leng Yaozhu didn't force her and smoothed her hair, "If it's difficult, that's okay. I am already comforted to hear your true feelings today!"
At least, Gu Yue also considered her family!
Then, she patted Gu Yue's shoulder lightly, "Alright, you take this child for a tour of the Spirit Pagoda to deepen your bond. I'll handle things here!"
Gu Yue didn't refuse, "Thank you, Master!"
She indeed had a lot to talk about with Tang Wulin...
He naturally couldn't refuse either and cupped his fist, "Then, Lord of the Cold Tower, we will take our leave now!"
After receiving consent, they left the Council Hall...
One of the ferocious beasts witnessing this gritted his teeth, "Boss, are we just letting them leave like this?"
Di Tian's emotions were somewhat unstable as he said, "Then what else do you want to do?"
He was very angry right now, no, it was an unprecedented rage!
First, Gu Yue knelt to Leng Yaozhu, a human, in public!
Second, Gu Yue had indeed fallen in love with that man named Tang Wulin!
Bi Ji shook her head, full of disappointment, "Our lord's heart has always been proud, but today she actually knelt to a human, it's truly disappointing..."
Leng Yaozhu resumed her seat at the head, casting a glance at the other Council Members, "Alright, you may also leave!"
The Council Members, adept at reading the room, sensed the extremely awkward atmosphere and hastily left...
When only Di Tian and a few others were left, she spoke in an even tone, "Councilor Di Tian, and your companions, you must have been quite angry just now. Gu Yue actually knelt to me, a human!"
Di Tian, already in a volatile state, couldn't contain the killing intent surging within him at these words and it crazily erupted...
Causing the entire space of the Council Hall to tremble...
Leng Yaozhu remained unruffled, "There's no need for such killing intent. The fact that you ferocious beasts from the Aquipeia Forest have transformed, Gu Yue already informed me about it!"
Instantly, the ferocious beasts became alert...
Di Tian exhaled sharply, his voice icy cold, "Now that you know our true identities, are you preparing to strike?"
Humans truly are the most cunning creatures!
The entire Spirit Pagoda might have already been ensnared by a Heaven and Earth Net!
Leng Yaozhu didn't answer his question, instead propping up her chin as if in deep thought, "So it is true, you are indeed transformed from ferocious beasts..."
Bi Ji, standing beside him, was startled, "You... you actually used our lord as a ruse to deceive us!"
Leng Yaozhu's Beautiful Eyes lit up again, "Our lord? I see, so Gu Yue's relationship with you isn't that of companions, but of master and servant..."
This child, I didn't expect him to have such great power, to make the Beast God of Aquipeia Forest bend the knee!
He must have quite a remarkable identity...
"Humans, you're too presumptuous!"
With Di Tian's roar, a massive golden dragon claw, spanning dozens of meters, slammed toward the former...
Leng Yaozhu didn't dare to be careless and immediately released her Martial Soul and soul skills to defend...
But with just one flash of illumination, she was sent flying backward with a "whoosh" and smashed heavily against the wall...
The shockwave from the dragon claw also covered the Council Hall with dense cracks, a testament to the terror of the strike...
Barely steadying her form, Leng Yaozhu, with eyes full of wariness, stared at Di Tian, thinking, "As expected of the Soul Beast God Di Tian, a soul beast that is just one step away from becoming a God, indeed too powerful for me to contend with!"
To verify their true identities in this manner was indeed too rash!
If he were to use his full strength, the entire Spirit Pagoda headquarters might be faced with a crisis...
Di Tian suppressed his killing intent, "This time, for the sake of your master, I'll spare your life! Let's go!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Leng Yaozhu called out, "Wait!"
Bi Ji appeared in a flash in front of Leng Yaozhu, gripping her throat tightly, "Human, do you really think that just because you have a connection with our master, we wouldn't dare to kill you??"
Leng Yaozhu did not resist, but coughed and explained, "Cough... you... you've misunderstood, although I am the Spirit Pagoda's master, I've never held any hostility toward the Soul Beast Clan!"
"This hasty probing of your identities was to prevent Gu Yue from being exploited!"
"But now, knowing your relationship with Gu Yue, naturally I will treat you with the courtesy you deserve!"
Di Tian's golden pupils flickered, "You mean... you don't reject the presence of us soul beasts in the Spirit Pagoda?"
Leng Yaozhu affirmed, "Exactly! Our goal is the same as for Gu Yue, so there is no reason for us to be adversaries!"
Bi Ji hurriedly said to Di Tian, "Di Tian, you can't trust the words of humans..."
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet still being manipulated by humans who had only lived a few hundred, this was nothing short of humiliation!
Di Tian pursed his lips, "What makes us trust you, and what can you offer as a guarantee?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu forced a bitter smile, "What you want to do in the Spirit Pagoda, I'm powerless to resist, aren't I?"
...
In Gu Yue's boudoir!
Tang Wulin's heart tightened, hesitatingly said, "Gu Yue, after we left, there seemed to be two powerful auras erupting from the Council Hall, could there be a problem?"
Gu Yue denied, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
With her understanding of Di Tian and the others, they would not act recklessly!
But no sooner had she spoken these words that both didn't know how to continue the conversation, and silence fell upon them...
After a long pause, mustering courage in their hearts, they both spoke at the same time, "Wulin (Gu Yue), actually, there's something I want to tell you..."
Tang Wulin scratched his head, "Gu Yue, you go first then!"
Gu Yue shook her head, "It's nothing, Wulin, you go ahead!"
Tang Wulin didn't demur any further, earnestly said, "Alright, I'll just say it, actually, my biological parents are not from the Lower Realm, but from..."
Since he had already determined that Gu Yue was his woman, there should be no secrets between them...
