Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Hu Bai: "I heard that your martial soul is a silver dragon, an extremely rare pure-blooded true dragon martial soul. After awakening your martial soul, dragon soul beasts voluntarily sacrifice themselves. Is that true?"

Gu Yuena: "Of course it's true, otherwise how did I get my first thousand-year soul ring?"

Hu Bai's lips curled slightly: "That's interesting. Since you can make a ten-thousand-year-old dragon-type soul beast willingly sacrifice itself, why isn't your first soul ring a ten-thousand-year-old one?"

Gu Yuena:
Hu Bai chuckled: "Alright, you have your secrets, and I won't pry too much into them. Let's begin!"

Gu Yuena always felt that she might fall into the trap set by Hu Bai if she wasn't careful. Was this guy really human?

Oh no, I should say that only humans would have so many thoughts, right?

Ten minutes later.

Gu Yuena pursed her lips gently: "I lost."

"I never imagined that you could not only manipulate all elements, but that each element possessed ultimate attributes, and that you also possessed the Heart of the Elements."

"I didn't lose unjustly."

This was the first time Gu Yuena had ever admired someone so much in terms of elemental manipulation.

If we're just comparing the elements, her setup is actually quite similar to Hu Bai's.

She possesses seven basic elements, all of which are ultimate attributes, and she also has the hearts of the seven elements. She can also fuse elements.

But she lost because Hu Bai had additional elements such as metal, ice, and wood, in addition to the seven basic elements.

Moreover, he also knows how to use elemental fusion, and he's even better at it than she is!

In addition, her current cultivation level is only Soul King, while Hu Bai's cultivation level is Soul Saint, and her soul power is also inferior to her opponent's, so it is not surprising that she lost.

If she could use god-level mental power.
Gu Yuena couldn't help but think this way, but it would be a somewhat unfair victory.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever had such a satisfying battle of elemental attacks with someone. If our cultivation levels were the same, I might not even be your match," Hu Bai remarked.

Gu Yuena shook her head: "You don't need to be modest. Even if our cultivation levels are the same, your understanding of the new soul skills derived from elemental fusion is far superior to mine."

“We can talk sometime when we have time,” Gu Yuena said.

Hu Bai nodded: "No problem. Anyway, I don't think I'll be too busy for the next year and a half."

Gu Yuena astutely grasped the key point of the sentence: "A year and a half?"

The two sat side by side on a lawn, and Hu Bai simply lay down.

"Yes, once my sister's cultivation reaches the Soul King level, my older brother, her, and I will go to the City of Slaughter together to undergo my fourth divine trial."

"You should have noticed this mark on my forehead."

Gu Yuena lowered her eyelids slightly: "You're telling me so easily that you're undergoing a divine test?"

Hu Bai yawned: "What's the big deal? It's not exactly a secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall anyway."

"Your talent is so strong, and I heard that you have innate level 20 soul power, just like Sister Xiaoxue. That means you must have been chosen by some deity, right?"

Gu Yuena replied ambiguously, "Maybe."

"What kind of place is the Killing Capital? Is it dangerous?" Gu Yuena asked the question.

But after waiting for a few seconds, there was still no reply from Hu Bai.

Turning around, I realized that Hu Bai had actually fallen asleep!
Gu Yuena quietly looked at the sleeping Hu Bai, her thoughts unreadable.

Is this guy really a human who has passed the divine test?
How could she be so unguarded with a complete stranger she was meeting for the first time?

Or did Hu Bai know that he wouldn't do anything to him, which is why he fell asleep?
Gu Yuena then remembered that Hu Bai had mentioned when they first met that he had just returned to Wuhun City from outside today, and after seeing Bibi Dong, he came to find her.

Perhaps he was already exhausted, and after competing with her, he was finally completely worn out.

I have to say, Hu Bai looks really cute when he's asleep.

Unconsciously, Gu Yuena gently touched Hu Bai's face with one hand, and touched her own face with the other. Why did it feel even softer than her own face?
"My lord, what should we do now?"

A man in black suddenly appeared from the side.

Gu Yuena's slightly upturned lips immediately returned to their original expression: "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Without my orders, you are not to appear here on your own again. There are too many gods watching this place, so be careful not to expose yourself."

"Yes!"

The man in black robes glanced at Hu Bai silently, then vanished in a flash.

He had been watching Gu Yuena and Hu Bai's match from the shadows, and he never expected Hu Bai to be so formidable.

And that spirit ring configuration... is it from a human?

The person who could make Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sacrifice itself to him so quietly must be someone extraordinary.

In the second spiritual sea.

Both the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor tried their best to conceal their auras, fearing that Gu Yuena would sense them at close range.

When Gu Yuena touched Hu Bai's face, both of them almost couldn't hold back anymore.

While Hu Bai was asleep, she actually took advantage of him!

Then Di Tian appeared.

She is also called Gu Yuena, the Lord.

Now it's certain that the person before us is indeed the other half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King!
Hyotei looked indignant: "Snow Empress, look at Shiro! At this crucial moment, he actually fell asleep! He clearly knows that Gu Yuena's identity is not simple, yet he is still so careless!"

Xue Di smiled helplessly: "When have you ever seen Xiao Bai act without thinking? He has many divine artifacts protecting him, and he already knew that Gu Yuena wouldn't do anything to him."

Plus, I've been really exhausted lately, so I probably just fell asleep without even realizing it when I lay down on the grass.

Hyotei sighed, "Yes, he's too tired."

“From the time we met him until now, he has either been cultivating or going out on missions. I have never seen him take a proper rest or have any fun.”

Xue Di smiled and said, "That's why we need to understand him. However, he can slow down a bit in the next year and a half. A Soul Saint who is not even eleven years old—how terrifying would that be if word got out!"

"So what do we do now? We can't just let Shiro sleep here like this, can we?" Hyotei pouted.

If Gu Yuena hadn't been there, Xue Di could have temporarily taken over Hu Bai's body and let him go home to sleep.

"Don't rush, look." Xue Di pointed outside.

Soon, Gu Yuena used her spatial powers to gently 'pick up' Hu Bai and headed directly towards her residence.

One day passed.

"Um--"

Hu Bai opened his eyes, letting out a comfortable groan. He twisted his body a few times on the bed; this was the best sleep he had ever had.

Moreover, there seemed to be a faint fragrance around, which made people feel very at ease.

wrong!

Suddenly, Hu Bai remembered that he had fallen asleep while talking to Gu Yuena.

Why is he on the bed?

Hu Bai sat up abruptly and found Gu Yuena sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She had apparently been cultivating, but after hearing his movements, she remained motionless, her eyes fixed on him.
"Is this your room?" Hu Bai got out of bed somewhat awkwardly.

Gu Yuena nodded: "You suddenly fell asleep, and I didn't know where you lived, so I had no choice but to bring you here."

Hu Bai thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second."

Gu Yuena could easily hand him over to the academy teachers.

"It was already evening, and the faculty members needed to rest, so we didn't want to disturb them."

Gu Yuena seemed to know what Hu Bai was thinking, and added a sentence without expression.

As for whether it's true or not, no one saw it anyway, right?
"So you just sat there cultivating all night?" Hu Bai blinked.

Gu Yuena nodded: "Yeah, do you expect me to sleep in the same bed with you? Also, you'd better take a shower first."

Hu Bai and Gu Yuena had fought each other once, so they would have some sweat and dirt on their bodies.

Hu Bai's outer garment had been removed by Gu Yuena, leaving him only in his inner lining.

"Oh, I'll go back and take a shower then." Hu Bai picked up his coat and prepared to leave.

Gu Yuena stopped her, saying, "It's alright, let's wash here. It's just getting light, we can go out for breakfast together."

Hu Bai just stared at Gu Yuena without saying a word.
"W-What's wrong?" Gu Yuena asked, somewhat confused.

Hu Bai made a startling remark: "Gu Yuena, you wouldn't have fallen for me, would you?"

It's not that Hu Bai is narcissistic; he is indeed very handsome, otherwise he wouldn't always be teased that he might be prettier than Gu Yuena in women's clothing.

Coupled with Gu Yuena's attitude, it's hard for him not to suspect her motives.

It's highly unlikely that someone would be kind to others for no reason, even their parents!

Because there is still love as a reason to support parents in being good to their children.

What is the reason behind Gu Yuena's kindness towards Hu Bai?

To be honest, Hu Bai knew that Gu Yuena meant him no harm, but he didn't know why she had come out of seclusion this time.

Surely we can't get to know him and then form an alliance to attack the divine realm together?

This is absolutely absurd.

Gu Yuena: ? ? ?

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly like you? You just heard it from someone else and invited them out to dinner. Isn't that what friends do?"

"After meeting yesterday, aren't we friends yet?"

Gu Yuena certainly didn't have that kind of intention. Although she had lived for a long time, she didn't understand humans at all.

During Hu Bai's absence, she secretly observed how the others interacted.

Between friends, it's nothing more than practicing together, eating together, and playing together.
Now that's the time, Hu Bai can go out for dinner after he finishes his shower.

However, Gu Yuena did not realize that letting a man of the opposite sex sleep or even take a bath at her home had actually gone beyond the scope of friendship.

Hu Bai's expression was somewhat strange: "It's best if they're friends."

Since the other person didn't mind, he simply went into the bathroom and closed the door.

He's actually quite clean; even if there's no bathroom or river outside, he'll gather water from the air and simply wash off the dirt on his body.

Sometimes, he would even take the bathtub out of his soul tool and fill it with hot water inside his tent in the wild.

Of course, before doing all this, a barrier must be set up around the area, and with mental detection, even if danger occurs, he can sense it immediately and take action in advance.

Gu Yuena also failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind Hu Bai's words.

She's just taking a shower; she wouldn't peek.

peep
Suddenly, for some reason, Gu Yuena felt a little bit tempted.

No, no, she's the Silver Dragon King, not the Lewd Dragon King!
ten minutes later.

Hu Bai walked out of the steamy bathroom and dried his slightly damp hair with a towel.

This image of the water scene left Gu Yuena completely stunned.

For a moment, Gu Yuena's heart seemed to skip a beat. If other women saw this scene, they probably would...
At this moment, she began to understand why Hu Bai had come to find her invisibly yesterday.

It's not just because he has a high prestige in the Spirit Hall, but also because he's so good-looking that he has so many female fans, it's almost overwhelming.

"Let's go." Hu Bai dried his hair slightly with a towel, then controlled the wind element to gently blow around him.

He doesn't like using fire-element dryers after washing his hair, because it's easy to over-dry it and damage the hair.

Gu Yuena nodded, and then walked out with Hu Bai.

"Have you been exploring the city during this time?" Hu Bai asked.

He couldn't even remember the last time he had felt this relaxed.

Gu Yuena shook her head: "No, I basically don't go out unless I have to."

She looked down on the resources offered by the Spirit Hall because they were useless to her.

She only needs to break the seal within her body at the appropriate time for her cultivation level to increase.

Therefore, most of the time, she stayed in her room, using her own soul power to heal her internal injuries.

All these years have passed, and she still hasn't recovered to her peak condition.

According to her estimate, it would take about ten thousand years to be completely cured if she stayed in the Lake of Life.

Now that she has left the Lake of Life, a full recovery will not be so easy.

Now that she's out here, there's something she absolutely must get her hands on.

Heart of the Dragon God!

So she instructed Di Tian to search for the possible locations of the Dragon God's Heart across the continent. If it wasn't found on this continent, then they should search on other continents.

With the Heart of the Dragon God, she can briefly activate the Dragon God's divine position and unleash power beyond that of a God King!

It was still early, so the two left the academy. There weren't many shops open in the city.

The two randomly went to a steamed bun shop and ordered several baskets of meat buns and two bowls of soup.

The breakfast shop manager clearly recognized Hu Bai and was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness, the Holy Son, you actually graced our shop with your presence! This meal is on the house!"

"Did you bring your girlfriend along for breakfast?"

Clearly, this store manager is a bit of a gossip.

Hu Bai waved his hand and laughed, "No, this is a new friend I just met. We just happened to come out to get something to eat together."

Gu Yuena couldn't help but purse her lips. For some reason, she was very dissatisfied with Hu Bai's eagerness to explain!
