"I... I'm fine..."
Dong Qianqiu fidgeted awkwardly with her hair, the air thickening with both unease and a hint of something more between them.
"Brother, are you having fun?"
Just then, Yuan Enhuihui approached Gu Xun with a cheerful smile and asked. Gu Xun turned to look at him.
"Fun? Absolutely! Since you've just broken through to Spirit Grandmaster, I'll be happy to spar with you."
Gu Xun gave Yuan Enhuihui a genuinely kind look before a golden dragon spear materialized in his hand.
Seeing the cold gleam emanating from the golden spear, Yuan Enhuihui instinctively took a step back.
"Uh... Lord Brother, I suddenly remember I have something to do. I'll be going now! Goodbye, Lord Brother!"
"Get back here!"
Gu Xun immediately raised the golden dragon spear and chased after Yuan Enhuihui, slashing at him. When Dong Qianqiu saw the golden dragon spear in Gu Xun's hand, she felt like she had seen it somewhere before.
[Ten minutes later]
Yuan Enhuihui now had a large bump on his head, while Gu Xun walked back as if nothing had happened.
"Um... could I take a look at that golden spear from earlier?"
Dong Qianqiu immediately asked to see Gu Xun's spear upon his return. Gu Xun raised an eyebrow at the request.
"Another memory resurfacing?"
"Well... I feel like I've seen this spear before."
"Then take a look. Just don't touch it. It possesses the ability to absorb life force."
A flash of golden light erupted from Gu Xun's hand, revealing a golden dragon spear. Dong Qianqiu stared at the golden weapon, her expression momentarily dazed.
Fragments of memory surfaced in Dong Qianqiu's mind. She immediately turned to Gu Xun.
"Where did you get this spear?"
Seeing Dong Qianqiu's question, Gu Xun sheathed the golden dragon spear. He shot Dong Qianqiu a disgruntled look and replied.
"It's a family heirloom."
"A family heirloom..."
When Dong Qianqiu heard Gu Xun say it was a family heirloom, the look in her eyes changed.
It was filled with complex emotions. Seeing Dong Qianqiu's expression, Gu Xun thought he was skeptical and immediately turned to Di Tian.
"Di Tian, are the Golden Dragon Spear and the Silver Dragon Spear artifacts passed down in our family?"
"Hmm? Yes, young master. The Golden Dragon Spear and the Silver Dragon Spear can only be wielded by those with the bloodline of the golden dragon or the silver dragon."
Hearing Di Tian's answer, Dong Qianqiu still harbored some doubts, but soon, she seemed to make up her mind.
"Did you hear that? It's a family heirloom. Look."
Gu Xun spoke as he drew the Silver Dragon Spear and waved it. Yet when he looked at Dong Qianqiu, he noticed the expression in her eyes had changed—becoming strangely tender and affectionate.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xun studied Dong Qianqiu's unusual demeanor, but she shook her head quickly.
"Nothing. Just thinking about more things. My memories have returned a bit more."
"Memories? Congratulations then."
Gu Xun observed Dong Qianqiu's tender gaze fixed on him. How could he not realize she was mistaking him for Tang Wulin's descendant?
Damn it! Logically speaking, he should be Tang Wulin's father—by bloodline, that was indeed the case.
"Thank you for helping me recover so many crucial memories."
Dong Qianqiu addressed her gratitude directly to Gu Xun, who waved it off nonchalantly.
"No big deal."
Just as Gu Xun dismissed it, Dong Qianqiu took his hand of her own accord. Surprised, he looked at her.
Feeling Gu Xun's gaze, Dong Qianqiu's cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly changed the subject.
"Gu Xun, let's go ride that one."
Dong Qianqiu pointed toward the roller coaster. Seeing Gu Xun and Dong Qianqiu heading toward the ride, Yuan Enhuihui immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes! I want to ride too! Sister Qiu'er, you should come too!"
"Huh? Hmm?"
Yuan Enhuihui extended an invitation to Di Qiu'er as well. Upon hearing this, Di Qiu'er glanced at the roller coaster, which looked incredibly thrilling, and her interest was piqued.
"Let's go."
Dong Qianqiu took Gu Xun's hand and led him toward the roller coaster, with Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er quickly following behind.
Watching the four youngsters play together joyfully, Di Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"Who would've thought I'd have such a carefree and pleasant day? All thanks to my master."
Di Tian never forgot that it was Gu Xun who shattered the rule forbidding spirit beasts from becoming gods. It was Gu Xun who granted him the position of Evil God King, allowing him to ascend to godhood.
For such immense favor, Di Tian would gladly sacrifice everything to repay Gu Xun's debt.
As for the rule forbidding spirit beasts from becoming gods... that was established by the first Dragon God. What did it have to do with me, Gu Xun? True, I did break that rule.
At the roller coaster, Dong Qianqiu sat beside Gu Xun, while Yuan Enhuihui sat next to Di Qiu'er.
As the roller coaster plunged downward at breakneck speed, screams filled the air. Dong Qianqiu clung tightly to Gu Xun's arm.
Hearing Yuan Enhuihui's shrieks ring out the loudest, Gu Xun sighed inwardly. Well, what the heck—might as well treat this like babysitting. Might as well bring them along for the ride.
