Chapter 92 The Confession Game
In a corner of the college cafeteria, the light was dim and the surroundings were somewhat noisy.
Gu Yuena hadn't expected that Kong Xuan would bring the two of them here to discuss matters.
Kong Xuan sat opposite Gu Yuena and Bi Ji, his golden eyes flickering slightly as his gaze shifted between the two women.
Would you like something to drink?
Kong Xuan asked calmly with a faint smile on his face.
Gu Yuena did not answer, but simply raised her hand, and silver soul power enveloped the three of them like a veil, slightly distorting the space and completely isolating them from all outside observation.
Kong Xuan glanced around and exclaimed, "As expected of His Excellency the Silver Dragon King, your mastery of spatial power is truly remarkable."
Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly, realizing that the other party indeed knew her identity.
Brigitte, standing beside him, clenched her fists, looking slightly nervous, but dared not utter a single careless word.
Gu Yuena looked at Kong Xuan opposite her and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, as a deity, what is your purpose in staying in Douluo Continent?"
Kong Xuan was also taken aback by this question. Only then did he realize that Gu Yuena, like his previous teacher Yun Ming, regarded him as a god!
However, Kong Xuan was not as sincere when facing Gu Yuena as he was when facing his teacher.
He didn't explain that he was just an ordinary person, but thought for a moment and smiled, "It doesn't necessarily have to be for any purpose. Let's just say I want to experience a different life."
Kong Xuan's ambiguous answer made it impossible for Gu Yuena to ask any further questions she had prepared.
She thought for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Your strength is extraordinary. May I ask which one of you in the divine realm?"
The spiritual energy she had previously probed was directly devoured and destroyed, so Gu Yuena could only roughly judge the opponent's strength, but she couldn't sense the specific aura.
Without knowing the other party's aura, it's impossible to determine Kong Xuan's "true identity".
Therefore, even if she has some judgment in her mind now, it is without any basis.
"If I were to say that I am not actually from this world, would you believe me?"
Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly, and then she fell silent.
As a half-body of the Dragon God, her understanding of the divine realm is definitely no less than that of the God King.
The existence of other worlds beyond the realm of gods was not an unacceptable secret to Gu Yuena.
So when Kong Xuan said those words, she already believed them to some extent.
"I see!"
Gu Yuena nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her tense face.
Since they aren't gods from the Douluo Continent, they shouldn't have so much prejudice against them, which explains why they didn't take any action even after learning her identity.
Beside her, seeing Gu Yuena visibly lower her guard, Zi Ji sighed inwardly, thinking to herself that her lord was still "too young"! How could she believe the other party's words so easily!
At this moment, in the exchange between the two deities, it was already an honor for Brigitte to be allowed to sit at the table.
But given the current situation, she had no choice but to speak up.
"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on soul beasts?"
Kong Xuan turned his gaze to Bi Ji, this mature and intellectual woman.
However, Brigitte, whom he remembered as gentle and full of maternal glow, seemed somewhat reserved at this moment.
Kong Xuan, of course, knew the purpose of Bi Ji's question and smiled, "I think that soul beasts, like humans, are an indispensable part of the Douluo Continent."
Gu Yuena's eyes lit up upon hearing this, realizing that her previous judgment was indeed correct; Kong Xuan harbored no ill will towards the soul beasts.
To even utter such a statement already demonstrates a great deal of goodwill towards the soul beasts.
Brigitte, however, was not so optimistic, because she knew that many things were impossible to verify and could not be taken entirely at face value.
Biji continued, "Because of spirit rings and spirit bones, humans and spirit beasts are naturally enemies. However, humans have developed too quickly, and the number of spirit beasts has been decreasing over the past ten thousand years. We spirit beasts are facing the danger of extinction."
As she spoke, Biji was also carefully observing Kong Xuan's expression, seemingly trying to glean something from it.
Kong Xuan's next sentence, however, made both Bi Ji and Gu Yue Na widen their eyes simultaneously.
"In fact, there may be a possibility of peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts."
"Impossible!" Gu Yuena said decisively, "Human soul beasts need to acquire soul rings to increase their soul power, and to acquire soul rings, they need to hunt soul beasts. This is an unsolvable fact."
Kong Xuan was not surprised at all by Gu Yuena's conclusion.
After all, the way this deity thought of resolving the conflict between humans and soul beasts was to rule over humans, never to address the root cause of the problem.
Kong Xuan did not refute this, but slowly said: "In the end, a soul ring is nothing more than a product of the convergence of soul power. As long as we analyze the secrets of the soul ring, there may be a way to obtain a soul ring without hunting soul beasts."
"Is it really possible to obtain a spirit ring without hunting spirit beasts?"
A hint of longing appeared in Brigitte's eyes. If it could really be like that, then it would truly resolve the conflict between the two sides at its root.
Knowing the original plot, Kong Xuan naturally knew that this was possible, and artificial souls were one way out.
However, all of this requires continuous experimentation and cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.
"I already have some ideas, and I believe I will achieve results soon. Whether they are true or false, we will know when the time comes!"
With Electrolux around, Kong Xuan was completely at ease about the research on soul spirits.
Upon hearing Kong Xuan's words, Bi Ji showed a hint of joy for the first time.
Compared to the previous statements, at least this one will be easy to verify in due course.
It was at this moment that Biji realized that Kong Xuan might not really have any ill intentions towards soul beasts.
This is undoubtedly excellent news for them.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena's mind was still replaying Kong Xuan's words, and she was no longer so confident in her previous judgment.
Kong Xuan then added, "We will need your cooperation at that time. After the research reaches a certain stage, we will need human soul masters and soul beasts to conduct some experiments."
Making friends with spirit beasts was originally part of Kong Xuan's plan.
Now that the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, has taken the initiative to approach, Kong Xuan naturally wants to seize this opportunity.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and said, "If it really works, the soul beasts will definitely cooperate fully!"
Having received this promise, Kong Xuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling that his previous words had not been in vain.
Gu Yuena had only come to test the other party's attitude towards soul beasts, and she hadn't expected Kong Xuan to be so "friendly" towards them, which made her feel quite flattered.
"I was truly rude to test you out of curiosity earlier."
Sensing Kong Xuan's goodwill, Gu Yuena thought for a moment and then solemnly apologized to Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan was somewhat flattered. In fact, it was Electrolux who devoured Gu Yuena's spiritual power; he should be the one apologizing.
"nothing."
Kong Xuan shook his head indifferently, then made up his mind and said, "Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, you don't need to be so polite, nor do you need to test me. I have no prejudice or malice towards soul beasts."
"Besides... we have a common enemy!"
