It's no wonder Leng Yulai was so excited. It's like getting three golds in three draws in a game, it's strange not to be happy.
However... Even though she praised herself to the skies, Jia Lin still couldn't feel close to her for the time being.
"I'll stay with Sister Xue," Jia Lin shook her head. "Aunt Dark Phoenix, you don't need to worry."
"Sister Xue?" Leng Yulai was slightly stunned upon hearing this term, then narrowed her eyes to look at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena. "Has Lady Snow Empress also come?"
At this point, Huo Yuhao no longer concealed it and nodded. "Yes, my teacher was worried about our safety, so she came as well."
"I see..."
Leng Yulai raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and didn't press further. "I understand. You've been running around all day, go rest first."
She didn't ask too much. What that person wanted to do didn't need to be told to her...
And when Dark Phoenix Douluo watched Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Jia Lin leave like a family of three, she suddenly realized something else.
Wait, that child Jia Lin called Lord Snow Empress "sister" but called her "aunt"?
Isn't the difference in treatment a bit too much?
Does she look that old?
Subconsciously taking out a mirror, Dark Phoenix Douluo looked at her still beautiful but slightly mature face and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
...
Back in the hotel room, Huo Yuhao skillfully took out two pairs of slippers from the entrance and placed them in front of Gu Yuena and Jia Lin.
"Do you two masters usually live together?" Jia Lin asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao's movements were too familiar, as if he was already accustomed to such routines.
"Yes, we've been staying in a suite together during this period," Gu Yuena smiled and crouched down, placing her delicate jade-like feet into the slippers. "On the Douluo Continent, we also lived together."
Jia Lin blinked, her gaze shifting between the two, her expression turning strange.
Could it be that she should actually call Gu Yuena "mistress"?
While Jia Lin was thinking of strange things, Gu Yuena had already taken her to sit on the sofa.
"Jia Lin, how much of the dragon clan's inheritance do you remember? I'll help you sort out your future cultivation path later."
Jia Lin snapped back to attention and began to recount everything she had inherited, including the ultimate fire she inherited, Red Gold Mystic Flame, the history of the dragon clan she knew, and so on.
"...In the end, the Asura God killed Lord Dragon God."
Huo Yuhao also listened on the side. When he heard that the Asura God had killed the Dragon God, he felt a subtle sensation for some reason.
You could doubt the Dragon God's intelligence, but you couldn't doubt his strength. His power was almost unmatched among the God Kings.
He wondered what expression the first Asura God would have if he knew that in the eyes of the dragon clan, he was the one who killed the Dragon God.
Asura God: This is just folklore!
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao's gaze turned to Gu Yuena. Seeing her thoughtful expression, he didn't ask a question immediately. Instead, he first coaxed Jia Lin to sleep, then sat beside Gu Yuena and whispered:
"Are you thinking about the Dragon God? When I obtained the Dragon God's dragon soul power, I saw some strange fragments. You must have seen them too."
"Yes."
Gu Yuena nodded lightly, leaning on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Her silver hair cascaded down like flowing water, her gaze somewhat distant.
"Yuhao, do you think the Dragon God's death was really because of the Asura God?"
When she obtained the Dragon God's dragon soul and the Dragon God's heart, she saw some memory fragments of the past, including the scene where the Dragon God was killed by the Asura God.
Unlike before, when she collected the Dragon God's heart with a relaxed mindset, she noticed something strange.
The Dragon God's expression... why did it seem like he was seeking death?
Huo Yuhao gave Gu Yuena a strange look. "Na'er, can you first tell me what the story of the God Realm War and the Dragon God is like in your eyes?"
Although he had speculated before, it now seemed that Gu Yuena indeed had no impression of some of the things the Dragon God had done. In the early stages of the original story, her anger towards the God Realm was also very obvious, as if she didn't know how outrageous the cause of that God Realm War was.
Either the Dragon God didn't pass on some memories to her, or she had lost the relevant memories?
Or was it simply a change in the version?
Gu Yuena didn't doubt him and softly began to narrate.
"What I know is similar to what Jia Lin knows. In ancient times, this vast land was originally the homeland of the soul beasts, with the dragon clan as the ruling power, controlling the entire world. But later, the Dragon God led many divine beasts into a cataclysmic battle with the gods, and in the end, we were defeated. The Dragon God fell in that fierce battle, split into two by the Asura God, becoming the Golden Dragon King and me..."
After listening to Gu Yuena's account and seeing her clear eyes, Huo Yuhao understood that in her view, this was the truth, and he fell into silence.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao asked gently, "Na'er, these wouldn't be what Di Tian told you, would they?"
This perspective on the God Realm War seemed a bit off, with too much bias towards the Dragon God.
Gu Yuena blinked. "Yes, when I left the God Realm, my divine consciousness was damaged, turning into spiritual consciousness, and some of my memories were lost. I was confused about the details of the God Realm War, so I specifically asked Di Tian. Together, we pieced together the truth."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately imagined a scene.
In the Star Dou Forest, the newly born Gu Yuena discussed the details of the God Realm War with Di Tian, the "Dragon God fanboy."
And then...
In Di Tian's eyes: The master is half of the Dragon God. If she agrees with what I say, then it must be the truth!
In Gu Yuena's eyes: Di Tian is the Dragon God's guard. What he says must be the truth!
"Pfft!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, successfully earning a dissatisfied look from Gu Yuena. He quickly stopped laughing. "Sorry, I just thought of something funny."
"Don't think I haven't heard that common phrase on the soul tool network. When someone says that, it means they're laughing at the person involved."
Gu Yuena pouted unhappily.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's heart moved. He leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. The touch was slightly cool, carrying a faint fragrance.
Gu Yuena was stunned.
"This is my apology."
Huo Yuhao's smile deepened, his fingertips gently brushing over the spot he had just kissed. "Can you forgive me now?"
Gu Yuena pursed her lips, her soft body leaning forward again, completely nestling into Huo Yuhao's embrace, her voice muffled. "Yuhao, do you know about the Dragon God?"
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Gu Yuena added, "Don't change the subject. You definitely know, otherwise you wouldn't have laughed at me."
Huo Yuhao gently wrapped his arms around Gu Yuena's slender waist and smiled helplessly. "Since it's come to this, what else can I say?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes. But for tonight, let's rest well. Telling you now would only add to your worries without solving anything…"
