Chapter 34: Gu Yue's Grand Plan, Di Tian's Anxiety.
"No! Na'er is just a blind cat that stumbles upon a dead mouse. Stupid or not."
After two and a half seconds of thought, Gu Yue immediately rejected her previous thought. However, she became curious about Jiang Xiu.
"This young man might have abilities that transcend human limits."
"Gu Yue, aren't you leaving yet? Jiang Xiu and I are going to eat."
Na'er looked at Gu Yue, whose eyes flickered, her brows furrowed slightly. She instantly approached Jiang Xiu, as if asserting her authority and offering a warning.
"Having just joined the Spirit Pagoda, I naturally need to familiarize myself with this place first. We'll both be Spirit Pagoda members, so why are you so wary of me?"
Seeing Na'er's response, Gu Yue smiled, the previous gloom in her heart instantly dissipating. She had a better plan.
For Na'er, she, Gu Yue, could replace her!
"Then you can take your time getting acquainted. Jiang Xiu and I are going to eat first."
Na'er looked at Gu Yue, who was harboring ill intentions, and she felt a faint regret for bringing Jiang Xiu along.
"Then we'll see you later."
Jiang Xiu, feeling Na'er tugging at his sleeve, smiled at Gu Yue and prepared to leave with her.
His meeting with Gu Yue today had been quite as he'd expected. Gu Yue hadn't changed in any significant way. Aside from the Silver Dragon King's premature transformation, the world continued to function normally.
He speculated that Tang Wulin should have already unlocked the first seal of the Golden Dragon King. He had to expedite his plan to steal the Golden Dragon King's essence. He had to do it before the second seal was unlocked. The more layers of the Golden Dragon King's essence were unlocked, the more closely it would align with Tang Wulin, making it increasingly difficult for him to steal.
The opportunity to steal the Golden Dragon King's essence lay within his Shadow Monarch spirit.
He also had to be vigilant regarding Tang San's spiritual sense, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin. Tang Hao and Ah Yin might be afraid to appear due to the Abyss Sage Lord, but if Tang San's spiritual sense faltered, they would undoubtedly take action.
"Three chances to escape? Are they really only three?"
Jiang Xiu muttered inwardly, following Na'er out of the battle space.
But at that moment, Gu Yue's voice echoed again within Na'er's spiritual sea.
"Na'er, you don't want your boss to be kidnapped, do you?"
"Gu Yue, what are you trying to do?"
Na'er paused, her beautiful eyes widening.
"Nothing much. We'll compete fairly in the Spirit Pagoda and see who will be the ultimate winner."
"But don't worry. I don't use those underhanded tactics. I only appreciate what I personally obtain."
Gu Yue's pretty face curved into a smile as she spoke calmly.
"You'd better! We'll see!"
Having sealed the deal, Na'er snorted softly and continued to pull Jiang Xiu out of the battle space, completely disappearing from Gu Yue's sight.
She, Na'er, never gave up!
"The first step in the soul beast revival is successful. The next step is to gradually improve my status within the Spirit Pagoda and place Di Tian and the others there one by one."
Gu Yue lifted her fair legs and began to wander around the Spirit Pagoda, silently calculating.
The East Sea Spirit Pagoda branch, one of the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, spanned a vast area and boasted a wide array of essential facilities. After touring the towering structure for half an hour, Gu Yue left the tower.
Outside the towering structure, Gu Yue raised her head, her gaze sweeping across the vast structure that towered into the sky.
"I will reach the highest point, step by step! The Soul Beast Clan will completely restore its glory under my leadership!"
In the year since entering the human world, she had witnessed the rapid advancements in human soul technology, a level that simply crushed the Soul Beast Clan.
Therefore, she had long ago formulated a three-step plan: I join, I learn, and I revive.
She would leverage human technology to revive the Soul Beast Clan, which was currently too weak, with only a few remaining.
Suddenly, Gu Yue's eyes flickered, as if sensing something. She rose to join the crowd, stopping only in a deserted alley.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Ripples rippled through the air as a tall figure emerged from the void, approaching Gu Yuena and bowing respectfully.
"My Lord, the Bear King has recovered now. Should we continue our attack?"
This figure was none other than Di Tian, who had accompanied Gu Yue to the human world.
"Wait a little longer. There's no need to rush,"
Gu Yue mused for a moment before speaking.
A year ago, she had intended to begin her campaign by visiting several major cities within the Sun-Moon Federation, but she was surprised to detect the presence of the Golden Dragon King, supposedly imprisoned in the divine realm.
However, when she followed the presence, she unexpectedly discovered that the Golden Dragon King had long since died, his essence sealed within a human. This was a better solution for Gu Yue, as she had already developed an independent mind and naturally refused to merge with the conscious Golden Dragon King. All they had to do now was extract his essence and refine it. However, just as they were about to attack, this human, a mid-level spiritual being in the sea of spirit, retained a powerful divine consciousness that severely injured the Bear King, who had initiated the attack. This was despite Di Tian's Dragon God Claw defending him.
"But my lord, I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That divine sense certainly can't keep attacking. Once you, my lord, merge with the Golden Dragon King's essence, your strength will undoubtedly increase."
Di Tian said hesitantly, then, as if making a decision, he knelt on one knee and spoke solemnly.
"My lord, I am willing to go and sacrifice my life in exchange for the dissipation of that divine sense. As long as the soul beast race can be revived in the future, I will die!"
"Foolish!"
"Waiting isn't about not taking action, it's about not escaping the opportunity. How do you know how many more chances that divine sense will have to strike? If you die and it doesn't dissipate, wouldn't that be a loss?"
"What's more, we're not only at odds with the human race, but also facing the threat of the Abyss. I need you to protect my growth," Gu Yue said in a deep voice. She firmly believed that Tang Wulin's path to growth wouldn't be smooth sailing. Whenever there was a crisis, that divine sense would strike, and she would just sit back and reap the benefits.
She also had a vague feeling that if that divine consciousness dissipated, it might cause even greater trouble, something she wasn't strong enough to handle with her current strength.
"I will obey the Lord's orders!"
Seeing Gu Yue's determination, Di Tian realized he had been a little too excited.
"Don't worry, my plan will never go wrong. The future will definitely belong to us."
Gu Yue's deep eyes gazed into the distance.
...
In the Spirit Pagoda, inside the VIP room.
A large table was filled with delicacies from land and sea, and Jiang Xiu and Na'er savored the food.
"Jiang Xiu, I'm telling you, you're still young. Don't let women fool you. The more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive she is [chew, chew, chew]," Na'er said earnestly to Jiang Xiu as they ate.
"How did you know that?"
Jiang Xiu asked, a smile curling his lips.
"Ah, by the time you're my age, you'll understand. In short, don't let yourself be fooled! Beautiful women are the most deceptive," Na'er sighed wistfully before speaking seriously.
"Then, Na'er, have you ever lied to me?"
Jiang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Na'er in front of him, and asked softly.
As Jiang Xiu's voice fell, Na'er suddenly froze.
