Chapter 142: Gu Yuena's Warning
"Call me 'Big Sister,' and I'll tell you?"
Having finally seized this opportunity, Di Mingli absolutely had to make Pei Qing willingly call her "Big Sister." Otherwise, who knew if such an opportunity would come again in the future?
"Big Sister!"
Pei Qing didn't hesitate at all and blurted it out.
How old was he? Even if he counted his age from before transmigration, he was still far from being comparable to Di Mingli, who had lived for over five thousand years.
It was just calling her "Big Sister." Even if he called her "Ancestor," to be honest, he wouldn't be at a particular disadvantage.
Speaking of which, his own ancestor from five thousand years ago might not even have been born yet.
"Aiya, isn't that right? From today onwards, Little Brother, you must be good and listen to your Big Sister, okay?"
Di Mingli was satisfied. Immediately, she began to recount the story of her soul ring condensation.
Pei Qing naturally listened very attentively, and in places he didn't understand, he would ask directly.
Di Mingli was quickly stumped by his questions and couldn't say anything more.
Seeing that the Big Sister he had just recognized was so unhelpful, Pei Qing turned and left without any intention of staying.
"You, Little Brother, wait! I'll answer you soon."
Seeing Pei Qing about to leave, Di Mingli immediately became upset. This was simply disrespecting her as the Big Sister.
Having finished her provocation, he flew away incredibly fast—so fast that Di Mingli didn't even react.
By the time she reacted, Pei Qing had already disappeared from her sight.
After Pei Qing was more or less prepared, the group finally set off toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, only Pei Qing, Bi Ji, and Di Mingli went. Pei Qing had not informed the four girls from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After all, the Lake of Life was a treasure of the Soul Beast Clan. Without an invitation, bringing so many people in privately was not very appropriate. If it aroused Gu Yuena's dissatisfaction, while it wouldn't endanger their lives, they would likely receive a stern warning.
So, since it was better to avoid trouble, there was no reason to bring them to the Lake of Life.
Once inside the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Mingli was like a little girl who hadn't returned home for a long time—happily running around the forest.
However, this seemed to be her home. It was normal for her to be excited after over a year away.
After letting Di Mingli relax for a while, Bi Ji used her spatial ability to open a path to the Lake of Life.
As soon as they entered the Lake of Life, they were immediately locked onto by several powerful auras.
It wasn't until they clearly saw the figures that Di Tian and the others finally relaxed their guard.
"Di Tian, we're back!"
As soon as Di Mingli saw Di Tian, she happily ran over.
She was raised by Di Tian, and their relationship was almost like that of father and daughter.
"Welcome home, Auspicious Beast."
"Welcome again, Pei Qing. It seems you've already decided which 100,000-year soul beast will be your first."
As the strongest fierce beast, Di Tian had already seen through Pei Qing's current cultivation at a glance.
Being able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring at level 60 was truly a terrifying talent.
Even though Di Tian had lived on the Douluo Continent for countless years—and had even witnessed the Sea God and Angel God achieve godhood—he had never seen anyone with such astonishing cultivation talent as Pei Qing.
"Senior Di Tian, for my sixth soul ring, I want to choose a Sacred Light Gryphon Emperor!"
The Sacred Light Gryphon Emperor was a top-tier Soul Beast that preyed on sub-dragons, possessed ultimate divine power, and was no weaker than the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Blue Bull Python.
If outside the Star Dou Great Forest, it could definitely be called a generation's King of Beasts.
"A Sacred Light Gryphon Emperor? That kind of Soul Beast is no problem!"
Di Tian's eyes flickered with surprise at Pei Qing's choice, but quickly, joy appeared in his expression.
He, the Beast God, had no particular fondness for creatures like the Sacred Light Gryphon Emperor that preyed on dragons!
Now that Pei Qing needed one, he wouldn't have the slightest dissatisfaction if it were caught and slaughtered directly.
"Then I'll trouble Senior Di Tian."
Pei Qing smiled.
Di Tian nodded, then disappeared from where he stood.
Not long after Di Tian left, colorful elemental energies began to stir constantly.
A stunning figure suddenly emerged from the shattered space.
The person who arrived was, of course, Gu Yuena. At this moment, she was still dressed as before.
But today, her face was somewhat flushed, and her gaze toward Pei Qing and Bi Ji was filled with a strange intensity.
"I didn't expect you to reach such a realm in just a few years. It seems you'll be able to break through to God-level in at most fifty years!"
Gu Yuena's clear voice rang out. She was very satisfied with Pei Qing's current cultivation.
One must know that Pei Qing was only sixteen years old today—truly just a child by human standards.
Breaking through to level 60 at this age was enough to demonstrate how diligently he cultivated.
Gu Yuena was very clear about Pei Qing's cultivation. After giving her the Silver Dragon King Scale, she often secretly observed his progress through it.
She had seen everything that should be seen—and everything that shouldn't.
"Twenty years is enough!"
Pei Qing was confident that, as long as he maintained his cultivation speed, he could achieve godhood within twenty years at most.
"It seems you're very confident. In that case, I won't say much more. But I think you should focus more on your cultivation and avoid doing certain things at night."
Gu Yuena finally couldn't help but speak. Didn't he know that dragons were naturally lustful? She had endured enough over these years.
If she kept watching, she felt she shouldn't be called Silver Dragon King anymore—perhaps simply Silver Dragon Fish.
Pei Qing: ???
He had no idea what Gu Yuena was implying. Pei Qing could never have imagined that the Silver Dragon King Scale could transmit images and sounds.
"My Lord, A Qing and I will pay attention."
Bi Ji's cheeks flushed. Her cultivation was higher, and she understood the Silver Dragon King Scale better.
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, her small face immediately turned red, and she shyly dared not look at Pei Qing.
She should have known not to let A Qing carry the Silver Dragon King Scale just to provoke her. Next time, she would throw it out before taking action.
"It's good that you understand."
Gu Yuena nodded, finally releasing a sigh of relief.
This way, it shouldn't affect her anymore.
Gu Yuena, the wisdom of the Dragon God and co-ruler of the Soul Beast Clan, would not waste time on trivial matters.
Her focus should be on more important things—like helping to restore the strength of the Soul Beast Clan.
Although she had been recovering from her injuries over the years, her investment in Pei Qing, the future God King, was significant.
Indeed, when it came to wisdom, no one could surpass her!
