Chapter 169: Reunion with Gu Yuena, the Cold and Glamorous Magic Dragon Zi Ji, The Mysterious Gate of Light [2 Updates]_1

```

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls learned about the origins of Xiao Wu and her mother.

They were greatly shocked.

They never imagined that the jokes they had made before were actually true.

Ning Rongrong, curious, asked, "Xiao Wu, since you and Auntie are soul beasts, then could it be that Brother Yu is also…"

Xiao Wu blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Brother Yu, well, he used to be a soul beast, but I guess he can't be considered one now. His situation is a bit special. Why don't you ask him yourself when he comes back?"

Ning Rongrong reached out with a small hand and pinched Xiao Wu's soft waist, protesting coyly.

"You little brat, too naughty! You're holding out on your sisters and making us die of curiosity, aren't you?"

"Lalala."

Xiao Wu dodged with a swift movement and ran to the side, playfully pouting her rosy lips.

"I won't tell you, just to make you curious, hehe."

Ning Rongrong turned her head.

"Zhuqing, Lingling, are you just going to stand there and watch? Let's gang up on her and see if she'll talk."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "I think that's fine."

"Okay," Ye Lingling replied succinctly.

The girls quickly surrounded her and Xiao Wu let out a cute yelp.

"You're bullying me now."

"I'm going to tell Brother Yu and report your crimes when he gets back!"

"Ah!!"

The beautiful woman in the cheongsam leaned against an ancient tree, her voluptuous and enchanting figure alluring.

Watching the pure and lively girls chasing and playing in the woods, her red lips couldn't help but reveal a warm smile.

Actually, she had been observing everyone's expressions all along.

When she noticed that Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls did not mind her and her daughter's identities as soul beasts at all, she was inwardly moved and sighed.

They are all good girls.

Little Yu's taste in picking people is really not bad at all.

...

Elsewhere, the Three-headed Crimson Devil Mastiff turned into a streak of crimson light, rushing on its way.

The trees around them were swiftly retreating.

"Hey," Luo Yu asked, looking down, "why are you running so fast?"

"Aooo, I have to, I've delayed for so long, I feel like the master is waiting to sharpen his knife for me."

Luo Yu shook his head, "That's an exaggeration, Nana is not that kind of violent woman."

The Three-headed Crimson Devil Mastiff rolled its eyes in secret, Do you really not know what I mean?

Gu Yuena on a visit—that's the epitome of violence.

It wanted to continue complaining and bemoaning to Luo Yu but suddenly, its body shook.

A wisdom that had accumulated for nearly three hundred thousand years stirred within it.

It realized a very frightening fact.

God knows if the master had released her divine power to eavesdrop on their conversation.

If she heard anything bad, it would be done for.

Could it be that Lord Luo Yu had already thought of this and was looking for an opportunity to flatter the master here?

Luo Yu asked, "Little Mastiff, am I wrong? Do you think Nana isn't gentle?"

"Right, what you say is absolutely right."

"The master is a very gentle woman, never resorting to violence."

The Three-headed Crimson Devil Mastiff responded enthusiastically, instantly turning into a flattery beast.

And so, without any prior communication, man and beast seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding.

Without any need for words.

Exchanging compliments, they praised Gu Yuena all the way.

Meanwhile, in the core area of the Aquipeia Forest.

"Chachacha!!"

Sounds of iron grinding against metal were continuous and unending.

The gorgeous girl with silver hair and purple eyes was sharpening a giant firewood knife on a black sharpening stone.

The edge of the firewood knife cast a chilling sheen, making the alluring beauty in black gauze next to her tremble with fear.

Suddenly, Gu Yuena seemed to overhear something; her movements halted.

The speed of her sharpening slowed down more and more.

At last, a blush spread across her cold and beautiful face.

She locked her gaze in one direction, her red lips parting slightly, and a clear and ethereal voice could be heard:

"Hmph, stinky man, all you're good at is sweet-talking."

"In light of your sweet words, I won't be angry with you this time."

"Clang!"

The firewood knife was thrown to the ground.

The alluring lady in black gauze showed a puzzled expression, not understanding why her mistress had gone from angry to smiling all of a sudden.

Gu Yuena asked out of the blue, "Zi Ji, are you ready?"

"Everything is prepared," the lady in black gauze replied respectfully.

Gu Yuena nodded, her purple eyes fixed in one direction.

A few moments later,

a stream of crimson light approached swiftly and soon arrived nearby.

```

Luo Yu jumped down from atop the Three-Headed Hell Mastiff.

Seeing the suave and handsome man, the cold and gorgeous woman with the ash-colored veil flashed an unusual gleam in her gray eyes.

She curtsied with elegance.

"Shen Yuan Mo Long Zi Ji pays her respects to the Beast God."

"Eh?" Luo Yu expressed his surprise, "Aren't all of you supposed to be in slumber? How come you are here?"

Gu Yuena was about to reply when she let out a light hum.

The air around them seemed to grow extremely frigid, frightening the Three-Headed Hell Mastiffs into cowering on the ground.

Luo Yu's pupils constricted.

This was because he saw not only the goddess Gu Yuena with her silver hair cascading down but also the large Firewood Knife lying on the ground far away.

"Nana, you've become even more beautiful."

Gu Yuena responded without a word, showing that she was not won over by such flattery.

Her pretty face remained indifferent as she folded her arms.

Her amethyst eyes glanced elsewhere.

"Tsk, who has gotten our Nana so angry?" Luo Yu chuckled lightly and stretched his arm toward the woman's slender waist to embrace her.

Gu Yuena's amethyst eyes slanted, brimming with ferocity.

"Dare to touch me, and I'll chop it off."

The cold and authoritative voice made Zi Ji and the Three-Headed Hell Mastiffs' scalps tingle.

Yet, Luo Yu's face bore a slight smile, as if he heard nothing.

Ignoring Gu Yuena's threat, his arm firmly came down, holding tightly around her slender waist.

"You!" Gu Yuena turned her head, her purple eyes coldly gazing at the man.

"You wouldn't dare to chop it."

Luo Yu leaned in close with his handsome face, looking straight into her clear, stunningly beautiful amethyst eyes.

A strange crystal lotus with silver star dots appeared in his hand in a flash.

The flower had five petals, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

"This Immortal Herb suits your temperament well; I specifically brought it back for you."

"What do you think, do you like it?"

"I don't like it."

Gu Yuena coldly replied.

But somehow, the Immortal Herb in Luo Yu's hand had already been transferred into hers.

Her purple eyes intently examined it.

Luo Yu's mouth curved into a smile.

"I know the Asura God Slash wounded you and you have yet to fully recover. This Immortal Herb may not have much healing effect, but it's still worth a try."

Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes trembled lightly within, as the icy exterior on her face quickly melted.

Her delicate fingers gently poked the man's chest.

"I've prepared a chance for you and waited so long; you never came back. How can you justify this to me?"

Luo Yu tightened his embrace, "But I'm back now, aren't I?"

On the side, the Three-Headed Hell Mastiffs and Zi Ji looked up to Luo Yu with admiration, their hearts filled with sighs.

In the whole Star Dou, only Lord Luo Yu could so perfectly control our Mistress's temper.

Any other beast would face certain death if they tried.

Even the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian could not manage it.

Forget about embracing—try giving the Silver Dragon King an extra glance and see if your ashes don't get scattered to the winds.

Gu Yuena turned towards the Three-Headed Hell Mastiffs.

"You can leave now; you're no longer needed."

"Yes!"

The Three-Headed Hell Mastiffs, as if granted an amnesty, quickly retreated.

Gu Yuena glanced at the arm wrapped around her.

"Aren't you going to let go?"

Luo Yu refused, "No, I haven't held you enough yet."

"Hmph, and you return to Star Dou with six other women. Haven't you held them enough?"

"You already knew?" Luo Yu's eyelid twitched.

Gu Yuena hummed lightly, "Do you think there's anything in the Aquipeia Forest that I'm not aware of?"

Luo Yu attempted to change the subject, curious, "You mentioned preparing a chance for me just now? What chance?"

Gu Yuena's amethyst eyes glanced at him.

She treasured and put away the Immortal Herb in her hands, showing no intention of consuming it.

Her fingers sketched mysterious trajectories in the air towards the open space ahead.

"Here it goes!"

A dark and profound rift in the space appeared.

"Where does this lead to?" Luo Yu wondered.

"Follow me, and you will find out," said Gu Yuena.

Her snowy jade feet hovered above the ground, with silver bells tied around her ankles, as she stepped into the black rift.

Zi Ji's cheeks reddened, and she followed suit.

Luo Yu rolled his eyes.

"What kind of riddle is this?"

Watching both women disappear, he too stepped forward into the rift.
