"You can tell me any difficulties you have. I'm counting on you to help the Spirit Beasts escape their predicament. Besides, borrowing all available power is a method a strong person should learn." Gu Yuena nodded, her light purple eyes fixed on Yang Tian.
Hearing Gu Yuena's advice, Yang Tian smiled slightly and immediately said, "Do you remember the girl who was with me a few days ago? She has a marriage contract; please help me dissolve it."
Gu Yuena's eyes flashed. She looked at Yang Tian with some surprise, and at the same time, a strange discomfort arose in her heart: "You want me to help that woman break off her engagement?"
"Yes, it's not difficult for you, but for me, it might take some time. As for other things, I'll do them myself. If I encounter danger, don't I still have you?" Yang Tian nodded. Gu Yuena was inwardly resistant, but she had just promised Yang Tian.
"You have other things to do? Are they dangerous?" Gu Yuena asked.
Yang Tian replied, "It's alright, not too dangerous."
Gu Yuena immediately said, "I don't understand how to break off an engagement, but I can follow you. Including whatever else you need to do."
"You're following me?" Yang Tian looked at Gu Yuena in disbelief. He understood what Gu Yuena meant: wasn't it asking him to take a stunning beauty to break off the engagement for another stunning beauty? What kind of situation was this?
But Gu Yuena's reason was also very logical; she didn't know how to break off an engagement. Yang Tian really had to make a trip to Star Dou. However, with the Silver Dragon King present, wouldn't the travel time be greatly reduced?
As if seeing through Yang Tian's thoughts, a smile appeared on Gu Yuena's exquisite face. She said, "I can't use spatial shuttle skills at high frequency, or I might be detected by the Gods of the God Realm."
... Yang Tian stared at Gu Yuena intently, thinking to himself, "Are you sure you're not trying to get closer to me?" However, having such a beautiful woman by his side all the time would be quite enjoyable, though it's a pity he can't tease her... When he gets stronger in the future, should he... yao~
After intense internal struggle, Yang Tian decided to set off! Even if the journey presented a thousand difficulties, Yang Tian would embark, even if it meant sacrificing his own body, he wouldn't hesitate.
The two, each with their own ulterior motives, reached an agreement. Yang Tian returned to the training room, leaving a letter and all the Holy Spring Water. The Holy Spring Water was, of course, for Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu. Dai Mubai and the others hadn't earned that privilege yet.
Yang Tian didn't tell everyone where he was going, nor did he tell Zhu Zhuqing what he was going to do. He merely gave everyone a motivation.
The night was quiet. Yang Tian took out a map, determined the direction of Star Luo Imperial City, and then with a wave of his hand, a black iron shell appeared before him.
Gu Yuena curiously looked at the large object Yang Tian suddenly produced and asked, "Is this a tent? Are we resting before we even start traveling?"
Yang Tian smiled mysteriously, offering no explanation. This thing was a technological product, a luxurious off-road vehicle, four-wheel drive. As long as the mountain road wasn't too rugged, it would feel like driving on flat ground.
Opening the car door, Yang Tian invited Gu Yuena to sit inside. The leather seats were wide and comfortable. Gu Yuena reclined in the passenger seat, her graceful figure perfectly conforming to the seat. Especially those perky peaks, they truly affected Yang Tian's driving skills.
As if sensing Yang Tian's gaze, Gu Yuena's lips curved slightly. Then she puffed out her chest and stretched: "What is this thing? A carriage?"
Yang Tian's mouth felt dry as he watched, thinking that Gu Yuena shouldn't be so casual. Or was Gu Yuena actively sacrificing herself for the Spirit Beast race?
Forcibly diverting his attention, Yang Tian started the car, and a powerful roar of the engine sounded: "This is a carriage that doesn't need horses. It should reduce our travel time by two-thirds."
The car's speed was naturally far superior to a carriage, but Yang Tian didn't have enough fuel. Soto City was more than a thousand miles from the Star Luo Empire. The gasoline in Yang Tian's storage ring was only enough for a one-way trip.
Hearing Yang Tian's words, Gu Yuena's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she softly asked, "Why shorten the journey by half? Are you in such a hurry to break off her engagement? Is she prettier than me?"
Gu Yuena's string of questions left Yang Tian at a loss for how to answer. He then said, "She is naturally not prettier than you, but I don't necessarily have to like prettier women, do I? As for the journey, spending too much time on the road is not good for my cultivation."
Gu Yuena ignored the latter half of Yang Tian's sentence, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she softly said, "You won't like prettier women? That's not necessarily true."
Yang Tian pretended not to hear. The car started, and he also turned on the DJ. Gu Yuena unconsciously began to sway with the rhythm, almost causing Yang Tian to drive the car into a ditch.
That morning, a magnificent and grand city appeared in Yang Tian's line of sight.
Barak Royal City!
This city was situated on Yang Tian's essential route to the Star Luo Empire. To bypass it would inevitably add two more days to the journey, and those would be on rugged, narrow paths.
Outside the city gates, Yang Tian put away the off-road vehicle. Gu Yuena looked at the royal city before her, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. She had never been to human society before.
"Na'er, once we enter the city, you must not act rashly, understand?" Yang Tian was worried that Gu Yuena might get angry at some insensitive fellow and directly kill someone, which would truly be troublesome. Although they weren't afraid of trouble, avoiding it would get them to the Star Luo Empire sooner, wouldn't it?
Walking towards the city, Gu Yuena quickly followed, then her beautiful eyes scanned the surrounding pedestrians. Her jade hand rested on Yang Tian's arm, holding his forearm to her chest.
His arm sank into a soft embrace, and Yang Tian was startled. Then he looked at Gu Yuena in confusion. Seeing this, Gu Yuena gestured with her small mouth towards a couple: "They all do this."
"They are a couple."
"Then we are also a couple," Gu Yuena said seriously.
Yang Tian was stunned, then asked, "Na'er, do you know what kind of relationship a couple has?" He asked this because he was afraid Gu Yuena didn't know what 'couple' meant.
However, although Gu Yuena had never been to human society, she was knowledgeable about some social customs, so she immediately nodded: "It's that kind of relationship between a man and a woman, isn't it? What, you're unwilling?"
Gu Yuena, like a little girl, tilted her head and looked at Yang Tian. At this moment, she was playing the role of a young maiden who was new to the world. Coupled with Gu Yuena's impeccable, flawlessly delicate face, Yang Tian felt his heart pound intensely. He nodded without hesitation, then boldly rubbed Gu Yuena's head: "I couldn't ask for more. I just can't imagine that you, the dignified Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, would have such a pure side?"
With her head stroked by Yang Tian's large hand, Gu Yuena paused slightly, then closed her eyes. This warmth... At this moment, Gu Yuena seemed to forget her identity as the Silver Dragon King, transforming into a weak little girl enjoying Yang Tian's protection.
"Let's enter the city. We've been on a bumpy road; let's go in and rest," Yang Tian said. Gu Yuena opened her eyes, somewhat missing the warm and comforting feeling she had just experienced. But for her, the Silver Dragon King, to actively ask for a head pat was impossible.
