"Yuhao, news from Di Tian."
In the blueprint storage room, Gu Yuena handed her soul guide screen to Huo Yuhao. After he finished reading the message, she transmitted her voice, "Yuhao, the head of the Illustrious Virtue Hall said it was a warning two years ago, but when we reached an agreement with Shrek and went to discuss weakening the public opinion, they agreed too quickly... It shouldn't have much effect, right?"
The remote chat function was a new addition to the soul guide screen in recent years.
Huo Yuhao looked at the message from Di Tian on the soul guide screen, his eyes flickering.
"It's nothing, as long as their attitude is confirmed, their specific plans can be tested step by step. After the future trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, we should be able to see their intentions."
Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao saw a message suddenly flash on the soul guide screen.
Gu Ruiqiu: Sister Na'er, when are you coming back to Mingdu? I waited until evening yesterday.
"..."
——Calling "Na'er" directly as "sister"?
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, calmly handed the soul guide screen back to Gu Yuena, and keenly noticed a slight pause in her fingertips, with a dangerous glint deep in her purple eyes.
Gu Yuena silently put away the screen, looked up at Huo Yuhao, her face as cold as frost, but with a hint of barely noticeable embarrassment in her eyes.
"Laugh if you want to," she pursed her lips, "holding it in is uncomfortable."
——The dignified Silver Dragon King, the common master of soul beasts, was so delightfully called "sister" by her subordinate?
Yuhao must find it funny.
Compared to the other party, she had no authority at all.
Huo Yuhao shook and shook his head, gently stroking her silver hair with his hand, his fingers sliding down the smooth strands.
"There's nothing funny about it. On the contrary, I'm glad to see so many people around you who care about you and are close to you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the soul guide screen. Gu Yuena followed his gaze and saw a new message flash by.
Gu Ruiqiu: Don't ignore me! By the way, I've developed a new dessert, do you want to try it? I promise it's better than the ones I brought you before!
"..." Gu Yuena's expression fell, and she replied helplessly before looking at Huo Yuhao, "I spoiled her too much before, I should have kept her in the position of Peace Ambassador."
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Speaking of which, hasn't she returned to her original form over the years? To become the Peace Ambassador again?"
The transformation of the Destiny Beast is different from that of ordinary soul beasts. Although she only has one chance to transform into a human in her lifetime, she can switch between the form of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the human form, similar to the transformation of a fierce beast.
From the fact that her martial soul is simulated and her cultivation level was so high at the beginning, it can be seen that she has never re-cultivated. Transformation does not affect her lifespan, otherwise Di Tian and others would not have agreed to let the Destiny Beast run wild.
"No," Gu Yuena said, "Building an identity takes time, and she has no intention of changing back now. And she seems to enjoy her current life very much, just like her name and appearance, this life was also her own choice."
She paused, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "It seems she really enjoys her current life."
Otherwise, she would have been complaining every day.
"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly upon hearing this, "That's good."
Wang Qiu'er was someone born at a specific time for a specific need.
Without the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wutong's divine sense, and the memories passed on by the fate connection, coupled with different experiences and insights, Gu Ruiqiu was destined not to be the Wang Qiu'er he knew... which might not be a bad thing.
(Note: According to the original work, the Golden Dragon Spear was thrown to the Destiny Beast by Tang San along with Tang Wutong's divine sense during the fate connection, not something she originally had, nor could it have been brought down from the divine realm by Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena fled as soon as she was born and had no time to take anything from the divine realm.)
(Whether it's the Golden Dragon King's rib version or the Dragon God's rib version, well, in the fourth part of Douluo, the Golden Dragon Spear became a pseudo-super divine artifact formed from the Dragon God's rib. Both versions obviously have nothing to do with the Destiny Beast, so the setting of Tang San throwing it to the Destiny Beast is adopted, and in this book, there is no fate connection, so the Golden Dragon Spear has nothing to do with her.)
Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao with some suspicion, "Yuhao, are you close to her?"
Ten thousand years ago, Yuhao wasn't that close to the Destiny Beast, right? Why does it feel like he's a bit concerned about her situation?
"Not close, it's better to maintain a normal friendship in the future."
Huo Yuhao stood up, "Let's go, we've been here long enough, time to head back."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's natural expression, Gu Yuena blinked and nodded slightly.
The two walked out, attracting the attention and discussions of the people coming and going. As they passed a corner, they saw Ling Zichen standing by the window.
Huo Yuhao's steps paused slightly, his gaze falling on Ling Zichen's back. She was quietly looking out the window, the golden sunlight filtering through the glass and casting a faint outline on her profile.
"Waiting here specifically, do you have any advice?"
"The president asked me to inform you that the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall has extended an invitation to you."
Ling Zichen turned her head to look at the two of them, her tone indifferent technique, "Your unique soul guide crafting has caught their attention."
The low murmurs around them instantly fell silent, some people subconsciously widened their eyes.
As the holy land of researchers, Illustrious Virtue Hall rarely personally invites others to join. Over the past ten thousand years, there have been no more than twenty invitees under the age of nineteen!
And they were all invited after graduating from the academy, not affiliated with any particular force!
But now, right before their eyes, a member of the Spirit Pagoda, a candidate for the next Pagoda Master, was personally invited by Illustrious Virtue Hall?
"Is this the next Spirit Sovereign?" A staff member asserted, "Not only is his cultivation far ahead, but his soul guide talent is also unparalleled, even Illustrious Virtue Hall has opened its doors for him..."
"I remember there were two such cases ten thousand years ago, but those were Spirit Ice Douluo and Master Xuan Ziwen. I heard the latter was originally Silver Moon Douluo's disciple, but was captured by Spirit Ice Douluo... ahem."
The woman who spoke hurriedly shut her mouth upon seeing the gazes around her.
Spirit Ice Douluo seemed to have a habit of kidnapping people, such words should not be spoken carelessly.
"..."
Hearing the discussions, Ling Zichen's gaze at Huo Yuhao also became somewhat complicated.
Among those invited to join Illustrious Virtue Hall was one of her ancestors, who had participated in the creation of the Eternal Heaven, one of the developers of the god-slaying soul guide artillery!
"Got it, thanks for the message." Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, stepped forward, and continued walking towards the entrance with Gu Yuena.
As they passed by, Ling Zichen whispered:
"The soul guide research department has a special energy research project, dare you give it a try?"
Huo Yuhao didn't stop, leaving directly.
