The Lord of Spirit Beasts? If it were before, Zhu Zhuqing didn't know the true hidden strength of the Star Dou Great Forest, and she might not have been so surprised. But now, she knew the power of the Star Dou Great Forest; those Spirit Beasts who had taken human form were all at the level of a Titled Douluo above ninety-five ranks.
Gu Yuena bowed her head slightly. Although she didn't kneel, it was enough to show her sincerity.
Yang Tian pondered for a moment, pinching his chin, and finally said, "Forget about the Lord of Spirit Beasts. If I have the strength, I will change the cultivation laws of this World. But I won't help Spirit Beasts fight against humans. I hope you can understand."
Gu Yuena's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her wish was for Yang Tian to completely belong to the Spirit Beast side, but upon reflection, that was impossible.
He didn't even accept the position of the Lord of Spirit Beasts… Gu Yuena's purple eyes flickered slightly, then she asked, "How do you plan to help the Spirit Beast race?"
This question was basically a test of Yang Tian's sincerity. However, wouldn't it be easy for Yang Tian to help the Spirit Beasts escape their current predicament? Of course, that would have to wait until Yang Tian was stronger.
But even now, Yang Tian could produce something to reassure Gu Yuena. "My strength is still weak now. No matter how much I say, if I can't do it, it's all just empty words.
However, I might be able to heal your injury!"
Yang Tian took out a dry, green bean and handed it to Gu Yuena, saying, "Eat this, and your internal injuries will heal, and your strength will return to its peak state. Consider it the price for this Spirit Bone and spirit ring."
Gu Yuena stared at the dry bean in Yang Tian's palm in astonishment, unable to believe that this one bean could heal her injuries.
However, she also didn't believe Yang Tian would harm her, so she reached out her jade hand, picked up the immortal bean, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
As the immortal bean entered her stomach, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. Nine-colored light burst forth from her pupils, and the aura around her surged abruptly.
Seeing this, Yang Tian smiled wryly, then summoned his abnormal flames to form a glazed barrier, protecting Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beneath it.
Gu Yuena's aura only surged for an instant before subsiding. At this moment, her pretty face was rosy and glowing, adding a different kind of charm to her beauty.
Between her brows, a hint of relief flashed. With her injuries healed, she momentarily lost control of her aura, almost breaking through to the divine level. Fortunately, she reined it in quickly, preventing a major disaster.
As the glazed fire shield dissipated, Gu Yuena looked at Yang Tian with an expression full of gratitude and curiosity.
"Thank you. From now on, you are the most respected friend of the Spirit Beast race, with a status equal to mine. As for the future, I still hope you can help the Spirit Beast race escape their predicament. Gu Yuena will be eternally grateful." Gu Yuena bowed deeply to Yang Tian, her collar dipping low, revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest and a glimpse of cleavage.
Yang Tian's gaze inadvertently swept over, then he forcibly looked away, and said, "I will do what I said about the Spirit Beast race. It's just that my current strength is too weak, so please wait patiently.
If there's nothing else, please send someone to escort us out. Our companions are still in the Star Dou Great Forest, and they must be getting anxious."
Xiao Wu was also somewhat anxious. When Er Ming took her away, she clearly saw Tang San's madness.
Gu Yuena nodded upon hearing this, then took out an oval scale. The scale looked as thin as paper, but it felt cold to the touch and was extremely hard. Yang Tian felt that even with all his strength, wielding the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, he might at best be able to scratch a shallow mark on this scale.
Gu Yuena's face flushed slightly as she saw Yang Tian caress her reverse scale. Only those of the Dragon race knew what gifting a reverse scale meant. "This is my reverse scale. It can sense your safety. If you encounter danger, I will come to help you as soon as possible."
Yang Tian didn't refuse and carefully put Gu Yuena's reverse scale on his person. This thing could save his life at a critical moment.
Gu Yuena's expression was a little unnatural as she saw Yang Tian keep the reverse scale close to him. "I still don't know your name. You're unwilling to be the Lord of Spirit Beasts, so how should we address you in the future?"
"My name is Yang Tian. You can just call me by my name."
Yang Tian hadn't expected such a great harvest from this outing.

"I hope this Legendary Theft can give me a supreme cultivation art." Yang Tian prayed in his heart, but he didn't use the theft voucher now.
Gu Yuena personally tore through space and sent Yang Tian and the two girls away.
In the boundless spatial tunnel, Yang Tian said to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, "Don't talk about what happened today. If they ask how we escaped danger, just say that the Titan Giant Ape and that black dragon Spirit Beast had a conflict and ignored us.
As for the spirit rings, we picked them up.
Understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded without hesitation. Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast, but that had nothing to do with her, and Xiao Wu was happy with this arrangement.
However, Xiao Wu still pouted and said, "Tian Ge's reasons are always so perfunctory. You've picked up a lot of things, haven't you?"
Yang Tian didn't explain, only saying, "Good luck."
"Can you be any more perfunctory?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. The Silver Dragon King watched Xiao Wu and Yang Tian bickering, deep in thought.
The speed of traversing space was naturally very fast. Gu Yuena placed Yang Tian and the two girls not far from Tang San and the others, and softly said, "There are still many Spirit Bones buried in the Star Dou Great Forest, including spirit rings. If you need anything, you can come to me or… you can use your mental force to communicate with the reverse scale, and I will be able to sense it."
Yang Tian was a little tempted. Gu Yuena's offerings would at least be 100,000-year ones.
"Let's talk about it later." Yang Tian refused insincerely. Gu Yuena didn't say much and immediately bid farewell and left.
Looking at Gu Yuena's departing back, Yang Tian felt a little dazed. Recalling the experiences of this night, he was somewhat surprised, but not too confused. After all, with the system and transmigration, what else could he not accept in such a minor scene?
Zhu Zhuqing also had this feeling. She still felt as if she was dreaming, but the thirty-seventh rank spirit power in her body and the powerful external Spirit Bone on her back kept reminding her that this was not a dream!
Squeezing Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Yang Tian softly called out, "Snap out of it. Remember what I said. Don't give it away."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian, then nodded.
The three walked towards Zhao Wuji and the others. Soon, they saw Zhao Wuji and the others gathered together.
And in the center of their protective circle, Tang San was shirtless, with eight dark purple spider lances on his back, ferocious and emitting a chilling, eerie glow.
