Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.

The sect and its disciples share a common destiny, where one's fate is the other's. The academy and its students, however, are not.

"Zhuqing, could you take me with you next time you meet Longyuan?"

Ning Rongrong tugged at Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve.

"Row."

Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse.

She also wanted to find an opportunity to see Long Yuan again.

If Long Yuan has other plans for her, she doesn't want to stay at Shrek Academy any longer.

……

Sunset over the great forest.

Gu Linyuan followed behind Dugu Bo, hurrying through the dense forest.

Underfoot was a thick layer of humus and fallen leaves, which felt soft and spongy, like stepping on a fermented sponge.

Gu Linyuan followed closely behind, the hem of his moon-white robe fluttering in the woods, occasionally brushing against the low bushes with a soft rustling sound. Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran lagged behind, their figures moving swiftly through the forest.

As Gu Linyuan traveled, he took in his surroundings.

The Sunset Forest is different from the Starry Sky Forest. The trees here are taller and the branches and leaves are denser. The layers of the canopy cover most of the sky, with only a few scattered spots of light filtering through the gaps.

The air was filled with a damp, musty smell, a mixture of earth and dead leaves, interspersed with a faint hint of herbal fragrance.

After passing through the last dense forest, the view suddenly opened up.

Gu Linyuan stopped in his tracks.

Before him lay a valley.

The eye of ice and fire.

"How about it? This place is presentable as my granddaughter's dowry, isn't it?"

Dugu Bo stood beside him, hands behind his back. His black robe fluttered gently in the valley wind, and his long, dark green hair was also slightly lifted by the wind.

He didn't speak, but just looked at the undisguised shock on Gu Linyuan's face, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a hint of smugness flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

He didn't know how to use it. But the fact that he had been able to use this strange treasure land to suppress the toxins in his body over the years already showed how precious it was.

Moreover, those rare plants, which he had never even seen before, emitted terrifying fluctuations of medicinal and toxic power.

"It truly is a treasure land. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is indeed worthy of its name."

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran caught up from behind and stood next to Dugu Bo.

She was panting, a fine layer of sweat beading on her forehead, and her purple eyes shone brightly in the light shining from the valley entrance.

Gu Linyuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then he turned his head, looked at Dugu Bo, and with a slight upturn of his lips, uttered two words.

Thank you.

Dugu Bo snorted.

"No need for thanks. Just be nice to Yanyan in the future, that will be enough to repay me."

Dugu Yan's face flushed red instantly, looking exceptionally beautiful in the halo of light at the valley entrance.

Gu Linyuan smiled and looked down at the misty valley.

He witnessed the fusion of ice and fire, the boundary between life and death, and the most impossible yet real miracle on this continent.

"Wow. There's such a treasure trove here. Yuan'er, you're truly blessed."

Just as Gu Linyuan was about to step in to pick the immortal herb, a familiar female voice came over.

It was none other than Gu Linyuan's mother, the Goddess of Life.

The voice of the goddess of life was filled with surprise.

She hadn't paid much attention when she descended to the mortal realm before. But upon seeing the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, she was overjoyed.

Gu Linyuan's martial soul, the Tree of Life, has very few suitable spirit rings.

Originally, the Goddess of Life intended to capture some from other worlds for Gu Linyuan, but upon seeing these immortal herbs, she immediately had an idea. If she were to bestow her blessings upon these immortal herbs, they would be absolutely worthy of Gu Linyuan.

Chapter 54 The God King's Blessing: Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran's Cultivation Soars

"Mom, why did you come all of a sudden? You startled me."

Gu Linyuan raised his head.

Seeing the figure that had appeared beside him at some unknown time, his tense body instantly relaxed.

The goddess of life stood beside him, her long emerald green dress flowing like spring water, the hem swaying gently in the valley breeze, each movement carrying a rhythm that seemed otherworldly.

It's as if she's in this breeze, in this light, and in the fragrance of grass and trees covering the mountains and fields.

She is life.

Life is everywhere.

"Hmph. Can't I even come down and see you?"

The goddess of life tilted her head to look at him, a girlish playfulness appearing on her flawless face, her deep green eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"Huh? Who are these two...?"

The goddess of life looked at Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran. Her eyes curved into two crescent moons, and a smile spread from the corners of her mouth, filling her entire face.

She could smell her son's scent on the two girls.

That was her son's scent, imprinted on the skin, in the hair, and deep within the clothes of the two girls.

Yuan'er has already established relationships with both girls.

Her smile deepened.

As the goddess of life and the controller of the origin of life, her sensitivity to the breath of life far exceeds anyone's imagination.

"Yuan'er, you've really made your mother proud. I've only been gone a short time, and you've already got your hands on two such beautiful girls."

He glanced at Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran. Dugu Yan lowered her head, her ears burning red. Meng Yiran gripped his sleeve, frozen like a statue. His lips curved into a slight smile; he offered no further explanation.

The Goddess of Life turned around and faced Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran.

She reached out, her long, slender, white fingers gently lifting Dugu Yan's chin, making her purple eyes meet hers.

"You must be Yuan'er's girlfriends."

Her voice was soft and warm, with an irresistible charm.

"Just call me Aunt Green."

She paused, her smile deepening, a sly glint flashing in her deep green eyes.

"Of course, you can also call me 'Mom' if you're willing."

She laughed after she finished speaking.

Her laughter, clear and melodious like silver bells, echoed at the mouth of the valley filled with poisonous fumes and the scent of herbs, causing even the strange herbs to sway slightly in response.

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran exchanged a glance, both seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

"Hello, Aunt Green."

The two spoke almost simultaneously, their voices barely audible.

Dugu Yan's face flushed even more, her purple eyes avoiding the gaze of the Goddess of Life, instead looking down at her toes. Her fingers twisted the hem of her skirt at her sides, creating deep folds in the purple fabric.

Meng Yiran was even more nervous than Dugu Yan. Her voice was even softer than Dugu Yan's. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, her ears burning red, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink.

Their eyes secretly scanned the stunning beauty before them.

She wore a long, emerald-green dress, had long, dark green hair, and skin so fair it was almost translucent; her face was so perfect it seemed inhuman.

Even if they were confident in their beauty, even if they attracted attention eight or nine times out of ten when they walked the streets of Tiandou City, they couldn't feel confident at all at this moment.

No wonder Gu Linyuan is so handsome.

Although Gu Linyuan is handsome, he is not actually that much different from the handsome men in this world.

After all, Gu Linyuan was not a god, and he did not possess the divine qualities unique to gods.

"Giggle."

The goddess of life smiled with satisfaction.

She looked at the two girls, so reserved they could barely speak, and her eyes were overflowing with affection.

As a woman, if the God of Destruction dared to have designs on other women, she would definitely fly into a rage. The God of Destruction's jealousy, once unleashed, could be devastating.

But as a mother, she wished for as many daughters-in-law as possible, and for them to be as outstanding as possible. Yuan'er was her and A Zi's child, possessing the bloodline of a god-king; having children wouldn't be so easy for him. Having more women around would increase the probability of her conceiving a grandchild.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran twice, growing more and more satisfied with each look. One was alluring yet refined, the other pure yet serene. One was fertile, the other resilient.

She couldn't help but wonder which daughter-in-law was more likely to conceive. Her green eyes curved into a smile, which deepened.

Yuan'er grew up too fast; he was already a teenager when she found him.

Now she really wants Gu Linyuan to give her a few grandchildren to play with, so she can have some fun too.

She raised her hand, her slender fingers flicking lightly in the air.

sizzle.

A few points of green light drifted from her fingertips.

The light was extremely faint, almost transparent.

But the moment it appeared, the entire valley fell silent.

The wind stopped, and the water became still.

Even the crimson flowers and snow-white flowers bowed their heads slightly, as if paying homage to their king.

The green light drifted toward Dugu Yan and disappeared into her brow.
