Chapter 226: Ah Yin's Feelings, Qian Daoliu's Shock
"My king, do you plan to travel with Mr. Su Yun in the coming time?" The Blue Silver King asked softly.
"No, I have been away from my people for a long time, and I want to spend more time here with them." Ah Yin turned her head to look at the Blue Silver King, a wistful smile appearing on her radiant face. "Why? Don't you want me to stay here?"
Upon hearing this, the Blue Silver King's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly shook his branches in denial, "No, no, no! Of course not! You will always be the most revered king in my heart, and our Blue Silver grass tribe can never lose you."
"But..."
He hesitated mid-sentence, prompting Ah Yin to ask, "But what?"
"I just think that it might be better for you, my king, to stay by Mr. Su Yun's side," the Blue Silver King confessed his true thoughts. "Perhaps, in the future, you might even reach the level of a hundredth level soul power and achieve divinity."
Ah Yin shook her head: "It was already not easy to receive the inheritance of a godly position, and carving out a new divine path is even more difficult."
"Besides, these past years I've troubled Su Yun too much, and even planned his development based on my thoughts. Now that I have regained my human form and will eventually seek revenge, it's better for him to venture through the continent alone without further trouble from me."
The Blue Silver King listened to Ah Yin's words with a bit of surprise and then tentatively asked, "My king, do you plan to be alone in the future?"
"Um?"
Ah Yin was also startled by his question, but she quickly realized what the Blue Silver King meant, her cheeks reddening as she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Su Yun and I don't have the kind of relationship you are suggesting."
Ah Yin was embarrassed and annoyed, wondering why the Blue Silver King would say such a thing.
Seeing his king's expression, the Blue Silver King was even more puzzled.
From his perspective as a spirit beast, Su Yun's spirit and Ah Yin were almost identical, which already spoke volumes about their deep connection. It seemed that they were already... But now, seeing his own king's reaction, it seemed their relationship was merely superficial.
He became anxious: "My king, a man like Mr. Su Yun is a perfect match for you, incomparable to Tang Hao whom you encountered before."
"Mr. Su Yun is not only willing to help you seek revenge but also exerts himself to protect our Blue Silver grass tribe, and his spirit is essentially an embodiment of you."
"Having such a man by your side, I believe your people would definitely be very pleased."
As the Blue Silver King finished speaking, the surrounding Blue Silver grasses rustled in the night, and a faint bluish-purple glow filled the air, agreeing with the Blue Silver King's sentiment that Su Yun was the only one worthy of their queen.
Hearing her own people unanimously agreeing with the Blue Silver King, Ah Yin was also shocked. She remembered that when she brought Tang Hao here, most of her people did not accept him, but now, they all revered Su Yun. It seemed that her people had already seen the darkness in Tang Hao's heart back then, even though she had been blinded by love at the time.
Despite this, Ah Yin, her face tinged with annoyance, argued, "Don't you know there's a big age difference between Su Yun and me?"
The Blue Silver King seemed prepared and countered, "My king, age is the least significant thing for us spirit beasts. Besides, if you and Mr. Su Yun both achieve divinity in the future, with Mr. Su Yun's control over the path of time, the age difference will not be a problem for you two."
The rustling of the Blue Silver grasses filled the air again.
Ah Yin was nearly speechless with her people, who seemed to relish the excitement, even though she knew they wished for her happiness and joyful life. However, she still felt uncomfortable, as her relationship with Su Yun was, at most, that of close friends.
"Don't just matchmake randomly; Su Yun already has a fiancée," Ah Yin said helplessly to the Blue Silver King, also sharing how Su Yun had protected Zhu Zhuqing, which earned a rustling of admiration from the Blue Silver grass tribe.
She thought this statement would shut the Blue Silver King up, but he continued, "My king, so what if he has a fiancée? They are not yet married. With your credentials, are you afraid you can't compete with that girl? Moreover, in human society, it's quite normal to have multiple wives and concubines, and even some women have countless men vying for them behind the scenes."
"With your relationship with Mr. Su Yun, if you're willing, I believe the position of the chief wife is definitely yours!"
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The Blue Silver grasses showed their agreement.
Ah Yin was nearly driven to distraction by these little rascals, truly like reeds swaying with the wind.
"Enough, don't say anymore, Xiao Lan, all you're saying is just fantasy," Ah Yin, calling the Blue Silver King "Xiao Lan," sighed, "I'm already very happy to have regained my human form with Su Yun's help. I just want to avenge my child in the future and dare not hope for any more love."
"I just want to stay by your side in the future; once I left you for myself, now I just want to protect you, until you can become the next Blue Silver Emperor, then I will cede the position to you."
Boom!
The Blue Silver King was startled by her words, shouting, "Impossible! My king! You are the purest bloodline of our Blue Silver grass tribe. With Mr. Su Yun's help, you are very likely to become the first spirit beast in our history to achieve a godly position!"
"If you give up this opportunity and cede the position of Blue Silver Emperor to me, wouldn't I become a criminal for all eternity?"
A Blue Silver Emperor can only have one successor; if Ah Yin ceded her position to the Blue Silver King, she would inevitably turn into withered grass and lose her life.
"No matter what you say, I won't listen," Ah Yin smiled bitterly, "Moreover, love is a thing of mutual affection, not something you can force on someone else. Xiao Lan, I understand you're thinking of my future in wanting me and Su Yun together, but you also have to consider whether Su Yun is willing."
The Blue Silver King fell silent.
The Blue Silver grass tribe rustled.
While the Blue Silver King fundamentally believed that Su Yun was the most suitable match for his king from the perspective of spirit beast lineage, it was also based on his intuition that Su Yun held certain feelings for his king, even if unspoken.
Thus, he had voiced these thoughts to Ah Yin today.
However, feeling helpless with the outcome, he would hate to see his king wither into dust, which he naturally disliked.
"Who said I'm not willing?"
Suddenly, a figure emerged from among the Blue Silver grass tribe.
It was Su Yun!
Indeed, Su Yun had returned from the beginning, but he just happened to "coincidentally" hear some of the conversation and decided to keep listening.
Seeing Su Yun suddenly appear, Ah Yin was momentarily stunned, standing there foolishly: "Little Su Yun, you..."
She couldn't believe that the young one she had grown up with actually harbored such feelings for her.
The Blue Silver King, seeing Su Yun step forward to express his feelings, was overjoyed and immediately rallied the surrounding tribe members to enhance the atmosphere: "My king, even Mr. Su Yun says he likes you, what more is there to say?"
"I..." Ah Yin stood rooted to the spot, unable to utter a word. Eventually, she blushed deeply, grabbed Su Yun's hand, and dragged him into a nearby grove, with a layer of soul power blocking any prying from her people.
No one knew what Ah Yin and Su Yun discussed inside.
Until the next morning, the Blue Silver King saw Su Yun leave early without greeting anyone, seemingly in a hurry. He felt a burst of joy, until he saw his king emerge from the forest, composed and neatly dressed, which made him somewhat disappointed.
"My king, last night..."
Ah Yin glared at the Blue Silver King beside her: "You talk too much."
Last night, she had clarified her feelings with Little Su Yun. To say there were no feelings after all these years would be a lie.
But as to whether it was what she truly wanted in her heart, she was still unsure.
Therefore, she needed time.
Su Yun also understood that haste does not bring success, so he arranged for Ah Yin to stay temporarily with the Blue Silver tribe while he took this opportunity to return to the Spirit Hall.
Matters of the heart should be approached one step at a time.
In the following days, Su Yun returned to the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was very pleased with his journey.
Not only did Su Yun acquire the Killing God domain, but his sixth spirit ring was also of the hundred thousand-year level.
Most crucially, he had actually received the inheritance of the Time God.
Knowing this, Bibi Dong immediately admonished Su Yun not to disclose this information to anyone.
However, the news that Su Yun's sixth spirit ring was a hundred thousand-year spirit ring still leaked out and reached the ears of Qian Daoliu.
Given that it was unlikely for Su Yun to have such good luck to kill a hundred thousand-year spirit beast, and even less likely for several spirit beasts to willingly sacrifice themselves for Su Yun, Qian Daoliu preferred to believe that Su Yun had accepted the test of a divine inheritance!
According to the Qian family's historical records, completing the nine trials bestowed by a god could lead to acquiring a hundred thousand-year spirit ring.
Thus, Qian Daoliu believed that Su Yun must have received a god's inheritance!
As for which god, he wasn't sure!
So he needed to ask and clear things up.
"Bibi Dong, let your student come out." Qian Daoliu stood in the Pope Hall, dressed in plain clothes and staring at Bibi Dong who sat on the throne. His voice was deep as water, his tone almost commanding.
"Grand Priest, watch your tone. In the Pope Hall, you should address me as Pope," Bibi Dong retorted. "Also, my disciple is not someone you can summon at your whim. He is now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, not a dog at your feet."
"Hmph!"
Qian Daoliu coldly said: "I had asked him before if he had received a divine inheritance, and he denied it. Naturally, I would not have such an attitude towards him, but now that he has received the divine inheritance, he naturally has an obligation to inform me."
"I do not wish for the enemy of the God of Angels, whom my Spirit Hall worships, to come from within my Spirit Hall in the future."
"Let him come out and confront me. Since I dared to come here, it means I can confirm that he has received a divine inheritance."
"The sixth spirit ring is a hundred thousand-year spirit ring; there's almost no other explanation except for a divine inheritance."
Bibi Dong was very displeased with Qian Daoliu's attitude.
Su Yun's divine inheritance was from the Time God, and even the voice in her head could confirm that once Su Yun achieved godhood in the future, he would undoubtedly become a God King and even unify the divine realm.
No matter whether Su Yun posed a threat to the God of Angels mentioned by Qian Daoliu or not, she would definitely protect him.
Besides Su Yun being her disciple, another reason was the thoughts of another personality in her mind.
'She' wanted to possess Su Yun.
After all, if the Rakshasa God and the Time God teamed up or even received the latter's protection, they could roam the divine realm freely.
'She' could not let Qian Daoliu, the old man, take advantage.
'She' was certain that if Qian Daoliu knew that Su Yun's inherited god was
the Time God, he would definitely want his granddaughter to unite with Su Yun.
The thought of her own possessions being taken by the future inheritor of the God of Angels naturally upset 'her'.
"Xue'er's future must not have any uncertainties!" Qian Daoliu's words were as sharp as a steel blade, "I want to strangle all uncertainties in the cradle."
"Bibi Dong, just let that boy come out and see me, explain the situation, and today's matter will be settled."
"Otherwise..."
Before Bibi Dong could retort, Qian Daoliu suddenly felt a domain power emanating from deep within.
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed. As a ninety-nine level Title Douluo, domains were merely a strong auxiliary tool in the eyes of other soul masters, but to him, they were just tricks.
All things, under the absolute suppression of soul power, are nothing!
Soul power surged within Qian Daoliu like a great river, ready to directly blast the source of the domain.
However, the next second, he suddenly felt his body aging in an instant, even the soul power within him rapidly depleting, turning to nothingness.
His expression changed, and his body shone brightly!
To expel this domain power.
He had served the God of Angels for many years, and his body had already been tinged with a hint of the god's divine power, enough to dispel this domain power.
Then, he rapidly retreated, noticing that he was not disturbed by that power, and then looked up gravely at the source of the domain.
"Su Yun? Is it you?"
