"Gu Yuena, just who are you?"
Looking at the lush forest around her and the Lake of Life before her, Qian Renxue felt dizzy.
If she wasn't mistaken, this should be the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Lake of Life, as described in the books.
Legend has it that this is a forbidden zone for all humans, inhabited by many powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Moreover, according to her grandfather, there was even an aura in the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest that she herself was very wary of.
And yet, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena had just brought her here so innocently?
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue immediately turned around and glared at Huo Yuhao with her beautiful eyes:
"Huo Yuhao, how many things are you hiding from me?
Who exactly is Gu Yuena?
How can she do all this?"
"Haha, Xiaoxue, don't worry about these details. Isn't the most important thing we came here to find you a 100,000-year-old soul spirit?
Let's get down to business first."
Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue were pulling each other at their limit.
However, Qian Renxue didn't buy into Huo Yuhao's words at all:
"Hmph, I don't care, I don't care! You know everything about me perfectly well, yet you've kept so many secrets from me.
Yuhao, you've changed.
You weren't like this before."
As Qian Renxue spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
Huo Yuhao: ! !
Wait, why is she crying so suddenly?
You're the one who's changed, okay?
You weren't like this before!
Huo Yuhao looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression.
His little angel was perfectly fine before, how could she have followed Hu Liena and gone astray in just two months?
The tears just came out of her mouth; she was really crying!
Gu Yuena, standing to the side, already wore a mischievous smile.
Her ethereal voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind,
"How many girlfriends have you attracted now?
Speaking of which, were you perhaps the Goddess of Charm in your past life?
Or are you actually Rong Nianbing's disciple?"
Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"Alright, stop teasing me,"
Huo Yuhao said helplessly to Gu Yuena, his voice revealing a touch of embarrassment, yet also a hint of self-deprecation.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao hadn't expected Gu Yuena to inadvertently deduce that Rong Nianbing was his master from such a trivial matter, but if that were the case, it would be truly unfair!
You know, although he's entangled with many girls, he's fundamentally different from Rong Nianbing!
His master's wives were all women he actively pursued, but the girls around him are all coming to provoke him!
"Don't tell that little girl my true identity for now. Hmm, you can make up whatever you want."
Huo Yuhao glanced helplessly at Gu Yuena, and upon meeting her crescent-shaped eyes, he immediately understood that Gu Yuena was in a playful mood again.
"Xiaoxue, to tell you the truth, Gu Yuena isn't human, but a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form!"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Qian Renxue immediately became excited:
"Just as I expected, I already knew!"
Huo Yuhao: "!!!"
No, what did you know?
Wait, why don't you seem scared at all, and are even so excited!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, Qian Renxue instantly transformed into Sherlock Holmes, her eyes full of wisdom as she analyzed.
"Actually, I already realized that Gu Yuena isn't human. First of all, what human is this beautiful?
Even the most beautiful human has flaws.
But look at Gu Yuena, does she have any flaws?
Not at all! So, Gu Yuena isn't human!"
Hearing Qian Renxue's analysis, Gu Yuena blinked.
Although the little girl's analysis was correct, why did she still want to hit her?
"Just based on this, it's not enough to determine that Gu Yuena is a soul beast, is it?"
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
"Originally, I only had some suspicions, but when Gu Yuena cleaved open the spatial gate with one hand and accurately arrived at the Lake of Life, I could conclude that Gu Yuena is definitely a soul beast, and she must be a ferocious beast over 100,000 years old that specializes in spatial attributes!"
Qian Renxue's eyes gleamed with wisdom.
"I can't believe I actually guessed it!
Huo Yuhao, how about that?
Aren't I incredibly smart?"
Seeing Qian Renxue's excited eyes, Huo Yuhao couldn't bear to dampen her confidence, so he could only encourage her with a compliment:
"Of course, Xiaoxue is the smartest!"
"Now that you know I'm a soul beast, aren't you afraid of me?"
Gu Yuena blinked in confusion.
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Sister Gu Yuena, aren't we friends?"
Qian Renxue replied with a smile.
After spending more than two months together, Qian Renxue had long since come to regard Gu Yuena as her good friend, even as family.
"Besides, Yuhao still believed in you even knowing your soul beast identity, so I definitely believe in you too!"
Looking at Qian Renxue's sincere gaze, Gu Yuena felt something deep within her being gently touched.
"You're right, no matter what our identities are, we're friends."
From that moment on, Gu Yuena completely accepted Qian Renxue, this slightly cunning but still innocent and naive little angel.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore.
Weren't we here to find a soul spirit for Xiaoxue?
How did it turn into such a sentimental scene?"
Huo Yuhao joked. However, just as he was about to say something more, a spatial fluctuation came again, breaking the momentary tranquility.
Sensing the familiar aura within the spatial vortex, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Beast God, Di Tian!"
Sure enough, not long after the spatial vortex appeared, a tall man dressed entirely in black slowly walked out.
However, before Di Tian could kneel down, Gu Yuena's voice rang in his mind.
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Di Tian glanced at Qian Renxue beside him with a strange look, but ultimately said nothing and obediently stood still.
Gu Yuena enthusiastically introduced him to Qian Renxue:
"Xiaoxue, this is my friend, Di Tian. He is also a ferocious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, but he is very docile, so don't be afraid."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
No, you can't lie with your eyes open. How did this thing become docile? He almost got killed by him in his past life.
Huo Yuhao mentally complained a few times, then his gaze remained fixed on Di Tian.
Speaking of the grudge between Huo Yuhao and Di Tian, it can be said to have a long history.
In his previous life, before Huo Yuhao became a god, Di Tian could be considered Huo Yuhao's strongest enemy, and also a friend on his path to growth.
Huo Yuhao learned a great deal from Di Tian and fought him many times.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's feelings for Di Tian were quite complex; they were teacher, friend, and foe all at once.
As Huo Yuhao observed Di Tian, Di Tian slowly raised his head to look at Huo Yuhao.
Enemies destined for each other ten thousand years later, they met again in a strange way ten thousand years ago.
