"Silver Dragon King…"
Shen Hanyu looked at the enormous silver-white dragon before him, chuckled lightly, and then said:
"It's hard to imagine that we would actually have an intersection…"
The Silver Dragon King's massive purple dragon eyes sized up Shen Hanyu for a moment. Her calm voice carried a hint of emotion as she said softly:
"The remnant souls and soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are both on you, right…"
"Mm."
Shen Hanyu did not deny it. Even if the Silver Dragon King was severely injured and her strength was greatly affected, as the avatar of the Dragon God, who was once a supreme powerhouse in the Divine Realm capable of matching God Kings, even in her heavily wounded state, her power remained unfathomably deep. This was an undeniable fact.
"Hehe…"
"Old acquaintances from the past have passed away one by one. Now, to hear that two old friends still have a sliver of hope remaining is some consolation, I suppose…"
The Silver Dragon King said softly. Her huge dragon head lifted slightly, and her enormous, slender, and magnificent silver body was fully revealed before Shen Hanyu without any concealment.
For the first time, Shen Hanyu truly realized just how terrifying the Silver Dragon King's injuries were.
In the middle of the Silver Dragon King's massive body was a huge wound so deep it reached the bone. Within it, blood-red strange energy continuously generated and destroyed the surrounding flesh and scales. Besides this most obvious massive wound, there were countless other large and small injuries. No wonder in the original story, the Silver Dragon King needed to recuperate underground in the Lake of Life for tens of thousands of years to recover.
The Silver Dragon King also noticed Shen Hanyu's gaze. She chuckled lightly and said:
"The injury left by the Asura Demon Sword carries the divine power of the Asura God. With the strength I can currently exert, I can't expel it at all. I can only endure the boundless pain caused by its daily destruction. This is the main reason my injuries are so difficult to heal."
Shen Hanyu slowly withdrew his gaze and said calmly:
"You called me here. It shouldn't just be to say these meaningless words, right? Tell me your purpose. It seems your injuries don't allow you to stay awake for too long…"
The Silver Dragon King seemed to chuckle lightly. A trace of interest appeared in her purple dragon eyes as she said:
"You obtained the remnant souls and god-level soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. You must have found those two dragon corpses. May I ask if you could hand them over to this King…"
Shen Hanyu said softly:
"The Ice Dragon King's corpse has already been given to the Ice Dragon Clan, the descendants who inherited the Ice Dragon King's legacy in the Far North. Now only the Fire Dragon King's corpse remains…"
The Silver Dragon King was somewhat surprised, but then said:
"That will do as well…"
Shen Hanyu looked at the Silver Dragon King with some amusement and said softly:
"Getting something for nothing isn't a good habit, Your Highness Silver Dragon King…"
"Oh?"
A trace of surprise and amusement appeared in the Silver Dragon King's tone. She looked at Shen Hanyu and said calmly:
"What do you want?"
Shen Hanyu spread his hands and said directly:
"Give me a piece of Life Gold, three pieces of hundred-thousand-year soul bones, plus one drop of your essence blood. How about it?"
The Silver Dragon King's expression remained unchanged as she said:
"Too much…"
Shen Hanyu helplessly spread his hands and said:
"Then there's no need for us to make a deal…"
The Silver Dragon King took a deep breath and then said:
"You're so bold. Aren't you afraid this King won't let you leave this space?"
Shen Hanyu's gaze swept over the Silver Dragon King, then he said with some amusement:
"I admit that even though you're severely injured, you still possess power far beyond this plane. But you can't treat me like I'm an idiot. To be honest, threats like yours might work on ordinary people, but for me, they're somewhat pale and powerless…"
The Silver Dragon King was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly:
"You really are a bold and interesting human. Fine, this King accepts your deal. However, essence blood is of great importance. This King cannot hand it to you lightly. When you deliver the Fire Dragon King's corpse to this King, this King will naturally give it to you."
Shen Hanyu nodded and said:
"I'm too lazy to make another trip. I'll tell you the location, and you can have Di Tian go."
The Silver Dragon King gave a nearly imperceptible nod. Then a spatial rift appeared behind her once more, and Di Tian's figure slowly walked in. He respectfully bowed toward the Silver Dragon King.
"Di Tian, go to the location he mentioned and bring back the Fire Dragon King's corpse."
The Silver Dragon King said calmly, then turned her gaze toward Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu glanced at the respectful Di Tian, then briefly told him the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Fire Dragon King's corpse.
Since Dugu Bo was no longer tormented by toxins, he rarely went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well anymore. The immortal herbs and medicinal plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had mostly been scavenged by him and You Mengchu. What remained were only seedlings or roots. Even if Di Tian noticed them, he probably wouldn't care.
Still, out of caution, Shen Hanyu gave Di Tian a few simple reminders. He didn't want any unnecessary accidents due to his own carelessness.
After watching Di Tian leave, the Silver Dragon King coughed a couple of times. Her condition visibly deteriorated. Her sharp dragon claw casually slashed across a huge piece of Life Gold nearby, and soon, a fist-sized chunk of Life Gold was slowly sent toward Shen Hanyu.
The Silver Dragon King said softly:
"My name is Gu Yuena. From now on, you may address me as such…"
"Life Gold is of little use to me. You can have it now. As for the soul bones you want, after Di Tian returns, you can go find him…"
"If there's nothing else, then leave."
As she spoke, a rift cracked open in the space behind Shen Hanyu once more.
Shen Hanyu nodded, then turned and left this space that was nearly isolated from the continent…
…
When he returned to Snow Empress's side, Snow Empress was sitting on a rock in a daze, while the girls had already lit a campfire and set up camp. They were now gathered around the fire, whispering among themselves.
Seeing Shen Hanyu return, Snow Empress gently stood up to meet him and said:
"No problems, right?"
Shen Hanyu shook his head and said:
"The Silver Dragon King wants the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' corpses. Though I don't know exactly what use she has for them, her attitude was fairly good. At least for the short term, she won't become an enemy…"
Snow Empress let out a slight sigh of relief, then slowly leaned into Shen Hanyu's embrace. Her slightly cool little face pressed against his chest, listening to the reassuring heartbeat…
Shen Hanyu patted Snow Empress's shoulder, then took out that piece of Life Gold.
Snow Empress looked at the greenish mineral in some surprise and said:
"This is Life Gold?"
Shen Hanyu nodded, then directly broke off a small piece from the entire chunk of Life Gold and tossed it into the black-gray cocoon enveloping Shen Liuyu.
Snow Empress took the Life Gold from Shen Hanyu and said softly:
"This is what you got from that Silver Dragon King?"
Shen Hanyu nodded and said:
"Life Gold is truly a supreme treasure. Such a large piece of Life Gold contains an unimaginable amount of life energy. In a critical moment, it could even save our lives…"
