Chapter 55 Kunpeng's Judgment: You Don't Deserve That Drop of Blood!
Do you know that person?
Su Ling withdrew his hand and looked up at the female Kunpeng.
He was referring to the supreme being who had suddenly appeared in the outside world.
This is also a way of changing the subject.
The female Kunpeng was stunned for a moment.
Those icy, piercing golden eyes moved away from Gu Yuena and landed on Su Ling's face.
She looked at him, at the calm expression on his face that said, "I don't want to argue," and remained silent for a moment.
She nodded slowly.
"Um."
Her voice was still cold, but it had subtly softened its chill.
"In the distant past, he led a group of cult leaders to besiege and kill me."
She spoke of it casually, as if it were a trivial matter unrelated to her.
Gu Yuena's heart clenched violently upon hearing these words.
Ambush?
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the female Kunpeng.
This woman... was surrounded and killed by a group of such terrifying beings?
Su Ling's expression remained unchanged.
He simply nodded.
"knew."
His gaze returned to the fishpond.
The emerald green bamboo fishing rod was held firmly in his hand.
The terrifying aura emanating from the outside world, at the supreme level, was probably no different from a flying insect skimming the surface of the water in his eyes. Not worth a second glance, not worth wasting his time fishing.
That's just the kind of person he is.
Nothing is more important than this still pool of water before us, no matter how big the matter may be.
The female Kunpeng frowned slightly as she looked at him.
But she didn't say anything more.
However, he turned his gaze back to Gu Yuena.
Cold, cruel, and leaving no room for compromise.
Gu Yuena froze.
When those golden eyes looked at her again, she felt her soul being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost suffocating her.
But this time, she didn't dodge.
She forced herself to raise her head and meet those cold, emotionless eyes.
Then, she froze.
What kind of face was that?
Her black hair, as black as the night, cascaded down to her waist, the ends shimmering with a golden sheen like the dawn.
Her golden eyes were like eternal stars, and with each blink, they seemed to pierce through eternity.
Her appearance was ethereal and elegant, yet her brows revealed a sharpness that could sever the laws of nature.
She stood there quietly, doing nothing, yet everything around her seemed to pale in comparison.
Gu Yuena felt a deep-seated sense of shame.
It wasn't a comparison of appearances, but a kind of humility that emanated from the very essence of life.
The woman before him was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Only such unparalleled elegance is worthy of him.
Gu Yuena lowered her head deeply.
Her long, silvery-white hair fell down, obscuring her pale face and red-rimmed eyes.
She dared not look anymore.
"You think I'm cruel."
The female Kunpeng's voice rang out again.
It was very light and very cold, like the sharpest icicle, piercing into Gu Yuena's heart.
"They think I'm not kind enough."
"They think I'm...not like a human being."
Gu Yuena shuddered and abruptly looked up.
Those all-seeing golden eyes were looking down at her without any emotion.
With just one glance, he saw through all her thoughts.
"You think you are valuable."
The female Kunpeng continued, her voice devoid of sarcasm, only cold as if stating a fact.
"But you must know that everything related to you is a gift from Xuan Tian."
"Including your ability to stay in this time-space city."
"Including the fact that you can stand in front of me."
"Including the fact that you can still breathe right now."
Gu Yuena opened her mouth.
She wanted to explain, but it felt like her throat was being choked by an icy hand, and she couldn't even squeeze out a breath.
Every word the other party said was true.
Without Su Ling, she would have been torn apart by chaos long ago.
Without Su Ling, she is nothing.
The female Kunpeng took a step forward.
She walked up to Gu Yuena, stopped, and bowed slightly.
"You are not qualified to stand beside him."
Her voice was very soft, like a sigh.
"Therefore, I want to reclaim that drop of blood."
Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted!
Recycling? That drop of true dragon blood essence?
That was the source of her transformation, the cornerstone of her rise to power, and the only reason she could stand here and dare to harbor delusions!
Without that drop of blood... she would be reduced to her original form, or even worse!
A tremendous fear gripped her.
"You are not worthy of it." The female Kunpeng straightened up, her voice icy cold.
"This drop of blood deserves someone better."
"Instead of a cowardly, stupid, ungrateful, and hypocritical mixed-blood dragon."
Gu Yuena was trembling violently.
She wanted to argue, she wanted to scream and say, "I'm not!"
But what could she say?
She once thought she was the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts.
But in front of this woman, in front of Su Ling, she was as insignificant as dust.
"A drop of true dragon blood," the female Kunpeng continued.
"If used properly, a pure-blooded true dragon can be reforged."
"We can try to revive a trace of the ancient True Dragon King's fighting spirit."
"It can be used to deduce and complete the True Dragon Treasure Technique that was lost in the Immortal Ancient Era."
"Such a divine object, even a Celestial King would covet it and be willing to wage a bloody war."
She paused.
Turning his head, he looked at Su Ling, who was focused on the fishing float.
Complex emotions surged within those cold, golden eyes.
Helplessness, annoyance, and a touch of indescribable heartache.
"Yet you casually gave it to this ungrateful, stupid dragon."
Su Ling's hand holding the fishing rod paused almost imperceptibly.
He turned his head.
His calm gaze fell on the beautiful, angry profile of the female Kunpeng.
He didn't speak.
The female Kunpeng met his gaze.
His tone was resolute.
"In the lower realm, there is still the last remaining egg left by the ancient True Dragon King."
Gu Yuena was struck dumb.
The True Dragon King... still has descendants?
"In the late Immortal Era, the True Dragon King fought against many immortal kings from other realms to protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and ultimately perished."
The female Kunpeng's voice lowered, carrying a sense of solemnity and tragedy.
"Of its three remaining dragon eggs, two have long since turned into dead eggs and lost all their divinity."
"The last one, due to the harm and curse of foreign secret techniques, was born with a flaw and has been unable to break out of its shell for countless ages."
Her gaze was fixed on Su Ling.
"The drop of blood in your hand comes from the essence of the True Dragon King at his peak. It may be able to help him repair his flaws and break the curse."
"Perhaps... we can recreate a trace of the glory of the ancient True Dragon King."
Gu Yuena's heart sank little by little into the icy sea.
She finally understood the female Kunpeng's intention.
That drop of true dragon blood should never have belonged to her.
It carries a more important mission.
She was merely a passerby who stole this glory by chance.
"Now, you have obtained such an opportunity and hold such a divine object in your hands."
In the female Kunpeng's voice, the heartache was finally hard to conceal.
"He casually gave it to a mere ant in the lower realm."
"A stupid dragon with mottled bloodline and a terrible temperament."
She looked at Gu Yuena, the coldness and disappointment in her golden eyes almost tangible.
"And this foolish dragon, instead of being grateful, used its insignificant body to commit blasphemous acts."
She paused slightly, her words sharp and clear.
"How can I possibly tolerate this?"
