Chapter 163: Gu Yuena Talks Tough, The Mysterious Veiled Beauty, Special Preparations [Four Updates]_1

"What's the matter?"

"Why did you drag me here in such a hurry?"

Luo Yu looked strangely at the mature and enchanting woman in a qipao standing before him.

He always felt something seemed off about her expression.

A Wu bit her red lips, "Xiao Yu, you might be done for."

Luo Yu had a speechless look on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything's been fine, how could I be done for?"

A Wu took out a conch adorned with starlight from her bosom.

She handed it to Luo Yu.

"What is this thing?"

Luo Yu held the conch, inspecting it repeatedly, but couldn't find anything special about it.

A Wu explained, "This is the Wan Li Chuan Yin Luo; it allows for long-distance communication over thousands of miles."

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "That magical?"

A Wu nodded her head.

"However, this Wan Li Chuan Yin Luo has a downside—the further the distance it transmits sound, the more terrifying amount of Soul Power it needs to absorb, otherwise the voice won't travel very far."

Luo Yu asked, "There should be two of these things, right? Where's the other one?"

"It's in…"

Just as A Wu was about to speak, the conch in Luo Yu's hand grew hot and began to vibrate.

"What's happening?"

Luo Yu wondered.

A Wu pointed, "This means someone on the other end is trying to contact you, just put your ear to the mouth of the conch."

"Contact me?"

Luo Yu was perplexed.

"Isn't this thing your treasure? If anyone's going to be contacted, it should be you, right?"

A Wu shook her head, "It's contacting you, take it."

"Hmm?"

Luo Yu was puzzled, unsure of what cryptic game A Wu was playing.

Subconsciously, he placed his ear against the mouth of the conch.

Listening intently, a cold yet pleasant female voice filled with a domineering and sharp temperament suddenly came through from the other end.

"A Wu, tell Luo Yu that guy to hurry back to Star Dou."

"If he doesn't return soon, this lady is going to come down from the mountains."

"And I'll very kindly ask him to come back from the land of tenderness with a forty-meter Firewood Knife in hand."

Luo Yu's eyes widened as he recognized the voice's owner.

He looked at A Wu in horror.

A Wu flirtatiously blinked her enchanting eyes at him, signaling that she could not be of much help.

It was up to him to fend for himself.

After a long pause with no response, the woman's puzzled voice came from the other end.

"A Wu? Why aren't you speaking?"

Luo Yu coughed twice.

"Nana, it's me."

Upon hearing a man's voice, there was a moment of silence on the other end.

Seconds later, Luo Yu felt he could hear the sound of grinding teeth.

The woman's voice was full of resentment.

"Don't call me Nana, who gave you the right?!"

Luo Yu chuckled, "Who's making our Nana so angry?"

"An asshole, an asshole who immerses himself in the soft charms of the human world and forgets about the Aquipeia Forest."

"Nonsense, who says I forgot about you?"

"Tch, as if I care whether you remember me or not."

Luo Yu teasingly asked, "Really don't care?"

"Of course, I've almost forgotten you." Gu Yuena responded coldly.

"Oh?" Luo Yu's lips curled into a smirk as he teased, "Then I just happened to overhear a certain fairy urging me to hurry back to Star Dou, isn't that missing me, then what is it?"

"Don't flatter yourself, I'm telling you to come back not because I miss you, but because there's a task I need to assign you."

"What task?" Luo Yu was curious.

"We'll talk when you come back, if not, forget it."

Luo Yu teased, "Dare I not return? I can't handle being chased by a forty-meter-long Firewood Knife."

"Goodbye."

There was no more sound from the other side, they must have stopped the transmission.

Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly.

"This girl, when will she ever fix that haughty attitude?"

A Wu couldn't help but sigh in secret.

As far as treatment goes, yours isn't bad at all.

In the whole Aquipeia Forest, only Luo Yu dares to speak to Gu Yuena like that.

Anyone else.

No, any other beast would have been blasted into ashes by now.

Luo Yu asked, "A Wu, do you know why she's in such a hurry to have me come back?"

The young-looking A Wu recalled, "Her Highness mentioned earlier that she prepared an opportunity for you and is waiting for you to return. She didn't elaborate on what this opportunity is."

Luo Yu nodded, "Understood."

"So, do you plan on going back?"

Luo Yu rolled his eyes.

"Didn't you hear what she said? If I don't go back now, given her personality, who knows, she might really come at me with the Firewood Knife, believe it or not?"

A Wu pursed her lips, smiling, "So you're going back because you're afraid of the Firewood Knife?"

Luo Yu shook his head.

"What a joke, am I that cowardly?"

"It's mainly because I've been out for a while now, it's about time to go back and see."

A Wu covered her mouth to hide her giggles.

"When do we head back, then?"

Luo Yu pondered for a moment.

"Wait a few more days, let's wait for Zhu Qing and the others to fully absorb the Immortal Herbs. By that time, their strength should be at their peak, and I can take them back to Star Dou to get their Soul Rings."

"No problem," A Wu nodded in agreement.

Luo Yu fell into contemplation, what opportunity had Little Nana prepared for him?

All so secretive.

...

In the spacious, enclosed stone chamber of the Aquipeia Forest, stood a breathtakingly beautiful girl with a celestial air and a grace that overshadowed even the moon and flowers.

The girl had silver hair cascading down her back, reaching her ankles, and her slender, graceful figure and fair Jade Feet were indescribably beautiful.

At the moment, her clear purple eyes were filled with resentment while her curled lashes twitched incessantly.

She clutched the Wan Li Chuan Yin Luo tightly in her hand.

"Stupid man, just stay out there, see if you have the guts not to come back."

Frowning, she looked towards the secret chamber's stone door.

"Zi Ji, come in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The stone door opened, and a stunningly beautiful and cold woman walked in.

Her dark purple hair fell over her shoulders, and her special-colored eyes were particularly striking.

Her body exuded an aura of dark charm, revealing a sickly yet enchanting beauty.

She was dressed in a mysterious black gauze gown, and her exposed, sickly pale skin, well-rounded buttocks, and tiny waist were bound by black ribbons.

Gu Yuena looked at the woman in the black veil with authority.

"Zi Ji, how have you considered the proposition I made last time?"

The woman in the black veil seemed to blush as she recalled something.

Gu Yuena said coolly, "Your true form is the Shen Yuan Mo Long. When he returns, not only will you be helping him, but you will also gain tremendous benefits for yourself."

The woman in the black veil shook her head, "Zi Ji doesn't care for any benefits; if serving Luo Yu, the Beast God, is what's needed, then I'm willing to do anything."

Gu Yuena huffed, "It's not about serving him, it's about giving him a hand at the crucial moment; he can't absorb that thing all by himself."

The veiled woman's delicate body shivered, seeming to sense a hint of jealousy.

"Zi Ji understands."

"Alright, you can go now."

"Yes!"

After the veiled woman left, Gu Yuena's purple eyes deepened.

"I have prepared everything for you; I'm just waiting for you, you heartless man, to come back."
