Through a deliberate approach, where one was willing to play along and the other was willing to pursue, the two had essentially become familiar with each other. Their daily interactions now felt like those of old friends.
After chatting for a short while, Gu Yue Na suddenly asked, "Your beast-controlling martial soul is incredibly powerful, with your first few soul rings being especially impressive. The Thunderous Hell Vine, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Golden Lion Tiger, and the Dragon God Turtle all have god-level bloodlines. Have you considered what kind of soul beasts you'll use in the future?"
As her words fell, she stared directly at Nangong Lingyun, her expression seemingly calm. However, a hint of barely perceptible tension flashed in her eyes.
After several failed attempts to extract information and with her charm tactics proving ineffective, she devised a new plan. It was simple, consisting of only two words: espionage.
Didn't Nangong Lingyun need powerful spirit beasts to become his contract soul pets?
"You might not find them elsewhere, but the Star Dou Great Forest's core area is full of them. Just send one out, and you can figure out the secrets of that beast-taming space.
Furthermore, although the deeper secrets haven't been uncovered yet, the news that it can help spirit beasts evolve and avoid heavenly tribulations has already been confirmed by the other party. This isn't a bad thing for those ferocious beasts.
A win-win, no… a three-way win, she, this devil coach, and the ferocious beasts themselves, were all going to win big."
She was very pleased with her strategy.
Nangong Lingyun smiled faintly, "My requirements aren't high.
First, the ability must be special, like Ah Yin's Devour, Ah Zi's Destruction, or Tiger's Evil.
Second, the potential must be great. I hope there won't be any major bottlenecks before they grow into a God King.
And third, unless they are particularly outstanding and irreplaceable, I don't want abilities that are repetitive, male creatures, or anything that's too ugly.
Age doesn't matter. Even a ten-year-old spirit beast is acceptable, but of course, the older, the better."
Gu Yue Na held her head in her hands, rolling her eyes wildly.
Her mouth opened and closed several times, her face twitching violently, but she didn't know what to say.
You call this a reasonable request?
Just the second condition alone would be impossible to fulfill, even if you turned the entire Douluo Star upside down.
Even Nangong Lingyun's five existing soul beasts didn't meet the criteria, save for the Golden Lion Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Dragon God Turtle's bloodline levels were only at the Main God level. In other words, they could only cultivate to the Main God level under normal circumstances.
Breaking the bloodline shackles was necessary to reach the God King level.
This was nearly impossible for soul beasts, and the chances of success were close to zero. Furthermore, the higher the bloodline, the harder it would be to break through the shackles in the future.
The reason the Dragon God was so formidable, and so envied and feared, was because he'd accomplished such feats, repeatedly, feats that seemed almost impossible.
Gu Yue Na took a deep breath and said, speechless,
"You even look for females when it comes to spirit beasts?"
"I didn't have that thought initially. After all, spirit pets are just a part of my power; there's no need to distinguish between gender or aesthetics.
But later, whether it was a guiding hand of fate, or just pure coincidence, several spirit beasts in a row turned out to be female.
I just decided to go with it."
Gu Yue Na couldn't hold back again. Her eyebrows were twitching wildly, and she felt like her heart would explode if she said one more word.
But after two seconds, she still quietly started calculating the few ferocious beasts in the core area.
Di Tian, Xie Di, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and Xiong Jun are all male. Bi Ji is female, but her life attribute is redundant. Zi Ji is female, but she's Di Tian's wife.
That leaves only the Golden Crow, the Heavenly Snow Woman, and the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion.
Among them, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's bloodline can barely reach the god level.
Only Xue Di is formed from the purest ice attribute heaven and earth elemental energy in the core circle of the extreme north. After countless years of nurturing, she finally gave birth to her own thoughts and wisdom, becoming a sentient being.
Her potential is almost limitless.
As for the Golden Crow, she has a very rich phoenix bloodline flowing through her, at least at the main god level, no worse than the Dragon God Turtle.
Then there are the sea soul beasts, but if they choose Xue Di, the water and ice attributes would be redundant.
Actually, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aptitude and uniqueness also perfectly meet the requirements, but she won't expose her auspicious beast status, let alone contract to become someone else's soul ring.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yue Na suddenly said mysteriously:
"If... I mean if, what if I could help you find a soul beast that meets your perverted requirements, how would you repay me?"
"Wife, as long as you can be found, you're my real wife, and I'll spoil you rotten."
Nangong Lingyun, on his deathbed, suddenly sat up, his face alight with excitement.
After dismissing the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, there was now a vacant spot on the original list of soul pets.
His requirements for soul beasts were indeed a bit outrageous. Of his current five soul rings, only the Dragon God Turtle was one he had found himself, and it had filled another vacant spot.
The others…
Ah Yin was for quickly earning those sweet points. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Thunderous Hell Vine had both appeared in the original novel, while the Golden Lion Tiger came from his pre-transmigration setting.
When it came to understanding soul beasts, their habits and distribution, Gu Yue Na was definitely leagues ahead of him. With her help, the problem would be solved.
Gu Yue Na gave Nangong Lingyun a flirtatious look. "Get lost! Are you rewarding me, or are you rewarding yourself? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it."
"Isn't it a reward? There's no other man as outstanding as me on the entire Douluo Star, is there?"
Nangong Lingyun looked perplexed, appearing genuinely confused, which caused the Silver Dragon King to sneer.
"There's no one else as fickle as you. I saw you going to flatter Shui Bing'er last night."
Nangong Lingyun was instantly furious. "What do you mean, 'flatter'? Do I need to flatter a woman to get her? She's a training camp member who can't control her martial soul's power; I was just doing normal training."
"What about Ye Lingling? She only has one soul skill; she can't possibly be unable to control it, can she?"
Nangong Lingyun argued with confidence.
"You're wrong about this. She's the one who's ambitious and wanted my guidance."
And the Nine-Petaled Ruyi Herb is even more troublesome than the Ice Phoenix. There can only be two of them at most, and there's definitely something fishy going on behind the scenes.
As a spirit soul theory expert, how could I not be curious and investigate?"
Gu Yue Na clenched her teeth, the veins on her forehead throbbing.
"Besides those two, there's also Huo Wu and Zhu Zhuqing..."
"They've already been absorbed as core members of the Kaiyuan Sect, and I need to teach them the sect's secret techniques.
By the way, you're keeping such a close watch on me. Are you jealous?"
Silver Dragon King: "..."
After five seconds of silence, the argument reignited with even greater intensity.
"Don't you get tired, going to eight different places every day? How do you manage your time?"
"Besides what I just said, there's Xiao Wu, and a few female spirit beasts. There might even be more I don't know about."
"Of course, I don't get tired. My body has life attributes, and my will has mental attributes. Fatigue doesn't even have a chance to build up before it's automatically restored.
As for the time, I am a master of time management, and I am also skilled in spatial power, which can greatly save travel time."
