"Is that so..."
Ye Feng felt somewhat disappointed and began pondering whether there was anything in the Douluo Continent that could nourish the soul.
However, Gu Yuena's status was simply too high. Only the Lovesick Heartbreak Grass and his own blood could have any effect.
"What are you thinking about? A year is still long, isn't it?"
Gu Yuena lightly flicked Ye Feng's forehead and said, "My physical injuries have already healed, so I don't need to hibernate now. Since you have the ability to traverse space, just come see me more often."
"Mm, I will!"
Ye Feng nodded, feeling that this was the only way for now. He truly couldn't think of anything that could heal the soul in such a short time.
"Also, I won't interfere with your affairs outside, but you're not allowed to hide the Reverse Scale I gave you. It will keep track of your visits. Every time you return, you must make up for them!"
As if suddenly remembering something, Gu Yuena pinched Ye Feng's face and said angrily.
"That's not really appropriate..." Ye Feng twitched his lips, feeling helpless.
He knew Gu Yuena had a strong Competitive Spirit, but competing over the number of visits was just too extreme.
"I don't care! And you absolutely must not leave any descendants outside. Your first child must be mine!" Gu Yuena tightened her grip.
She could compromise on other things, but she would never yield on this.
If Ye Feng "created life" outside, she would be truly furious.
"Alright, alright, I promise..." Ye Feng quickly agreed.
After all, he had no intention of having descendants.
His ambitions lay elsewhere, and his lifespan was long—practically infinite. Leaving behind descendants would only become a burden or a weakness, which would be troublesome.
"Hmph, that's more like it~" Gu Yuena gave a satisfied hum, clearly pleased with his attitude.
"Alright, rest well. Look how much weight you've lost these past few days. Sister will have someone prepare some nourishing delicacies for you~"
Gu Yuena gently patted Ye Feng's head, then got out of bed, draped a gauzy robe over herself, and left the room with light steps.
"You know exactly why I lost weight..."
Ye Feng muttered under his breath, exasperated.
...
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest suffered—especially those with delicious and nourishing flesh.
One beast a day, never repeating the same kind.
After consuming such an abundance of nourishing meat, Ye Feng not only regained his former physique but even gained a slight plumpness.
Clearly, he had overeaten, and the excess energy, unable to be digested immediately, had accumulated in his flesh as fat...
Of course, these days, Ye Feng lived like an emperor.
Gu Yuena's care for him was meticulous to the extreme.
She even fed him mouth-to-mouth.
And after meals...
Well, she indulged his every whim. Whatever Ye Feng wanted, Gu Yuena agreed.
Even when he proposed some "unconventional" ideas, she would only pout in protest before obediently playing along.
Though the space Gu Yuena resided in wasn't large, every corner bore traces of their "activities."
It could truly be described as "utter madness."
Had their statuses not been so vastly different, they might have actually conceived a child...
As for reproductive barriers—those certainly didn't exist.
The reason there are so many dragon descendants in this world is because the dragon bloodline is "indiscriminate"—it doesn't discriminate at all.
No matter which race they mate with, they can produce entirely new bloodline descendants.
However, Ye Feng ultimately couldn't stay here for long.
"Leaving so soon?" Gu Yuena clung to Ye Feng, hugging him tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"I've established the Star Sect outside, and there's still the Advanced Soul Master Competition to prepare for. I'm quite busy~" Ye Feng said with a smile, his hands supporting Gu Yuena's bottom.
"Hmph, you just can't bear to part with your little girlfriends..." Gu Yuena pouted slightly, muttering under her breath.
Ye Feng hadn't hidden anything these past few days, telling Gu Yuena all about Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, and A Yin.
Even though Ye Feng omitted many details, Gu Yuena still felt upset after hearing it, making him "pay" for a full day and night before her anger subsided.
Fortunately, Gu Yuena only got angry once.
Once her temper cooled, she wouldn't fuss over these matters again.
"Once Sister's soul injuries are fully healed, I'll bring her to meet them. With Sister's strength, she'll surely 'tame' them into submission," Ye Feng said with a laugh.
No matter what, Gu Yuena was the strongest.
She would undoubtedly be the top dog outside—even Qian Renxue wouldn't dare raise her head in front of Gu Yuena.
It didn't matter if Qian Renxue hadn't become a god yet; even if she did, Gu Yuena would still pin her to the ground without a chance to fight back.
"Hmph, then it's settled~" Gu Yuena gave a satisfied hum, her pride showing.
Gu Yuena was arrogant.
In her eyes, Ye Feng's interactions with other women were her magnanimity.
Those women should be grateful to her.
Even if they were to coexist in the future, she would naturally be the supreme "matriarch."
Not just in status—her strength was also unmatched.
Only Ye Feng might surpass her in the future; the others stood no chance.
"Mhm, it's settled. Sister is the strongest~"
Ye Feng held Gu Yuena, sweet-talking her until she was finally appeased and agreed to let him leave.
The most important condition was:
Unless there were special circumstances,
he had to return at least once a month.
As for what they'd do then...
Of course, it was to "fulfill his duties"...
Now that Gu Yuena no longer needed to hibernate, her daily life consisted of nothing but the novels and stories Ye Feng brought her.
Only intimate moments with Ye Feng could bring her joy and relieve her boredom.
...
Leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Feng didn't teleport but flew slowly at low altitude.
Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, he inexplicably felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration.
Though being with Gu Yuena was comfortable, the space she resided in was too oppressive.
Having stayed there for hundreds of thousands of years, Gu Yuena was oblivious to the beauty of the outside world and thus unfazed.
But Ye Feng disliked such a confined environment.
To him, that place was a cage.
Of course, it was the same for Gu Yuena.
This was also one of the reasons Ye Feng wanted to hurry and heal her injuries.
Soon after, Ye Feng left the Star Dou Great Forest, leisurely making his way toward Sky Curtain City.
With Gu Yuena's affairs settled, it was time for Ye Feng to attend to another matter.
That would be to head to the Land of Extreme North and see if he could persuade the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to take human form.
Participating in the Advanced Soul Master Competition required a team of seven, and Ye Feng already had a plan in mind.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, A Yin, the Ice Empress , the Snow Empress, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and himself—exactly seven people.
Four were already accounted for.
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress wouldn't be easy to convince, but Ye Feng was willing to try.
As for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, that creature might still be in the process of being born. Protected by the laws of heaven and earth, even Gu Yuena couldn't locate its whereabouts. That would have to wait for another time.
It would be best if he could gather them all.
But if not, it wouldn't matter.
At worst, he could just drag a few mediocre disciples from the sect to fill the spots.
After all, the Star Sect was thriving, and the Star Advanced Soul Master Academy was under construction, though the "qualification" for the advanced academy hadn't been approved yet.
This matter would have to be left to Qian Renxue to handle...
