The beast kings were all thrilled; they seemed to see a path to godhood laid out before them!
If Gu Yuena could achieve the position of Dragon God and lead them, the soul beasts, in a counterattack against the God Realm, the rule that soul beasts couldn't become gods could be changed.
The beast god Di Tian, dressed in a black robe and appearing cold and unrestrained, looked at Qian Renshang in Gu Yuena's arms, his expression indifferent.
"My lord, make your move… this is a golden opportunity! We will protect you."
"Your early awakening this time consumed a lot of your primordial power; if you can devour this child, you can completely make up for it."
"Devour this child…"
Gu Yuena looked at Qian Renshang in her arms, somewhat swayed by Di Tian and the others.
After all, this was indeed a golden opportunity—leading the soul beasts in a counterattack against the God Realm.
This was their ultimate goal in this life.
Gu Yuena looked at Qian Renshang, a hint of killing intent gradually emerging in her beautiful purple eyes.
"Mom...can you like Xiaoshang too, just a little bit?"
"Mom...why do you never like Xiaoshang?
Am I not good enough?"
"Mom...I'm leaving, I'm never coming back."
"Mom, you're such a naughty child...Mom...live a long and healthy life!"
Qian Renshang in her arms seemed to be having a nightmare.
He murmured unconsciously, tears streaming down his face, wetting Gu Yuena's arm.
"Forget it...don't attack this human yet.
Although it has the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, it's too weak to run away anyway.
Let's keep it for now. Perhaps it has some other secrets that no one knows."
Gu Yuena was completely infected by Qian Renshang's sadness.
What exactly happened to this child?
"But..."
Di Tian and the others wanted to say something, but were interrupted by Bi Ji and Zi Ji.
"Listen to our lord! Do you intend to disobey his orders?
This child does indeed harbor a great secret; let's raise him for now."
"Exactly..."
Bi Ji and Zi Ji, being women themselves, felt a surge of maternal love upon seeing Qian Renshang's state.
This child is so pitiful!
What happened to him?
Di Tian and the other men were speechless, but they couldn't say anything.
Considering the child's lack of resistance, there was no need to rush.
"Let's go back!"
Gu Yue Na carried Qian Renshang directly back to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving behind a parting remark.
"By the way, the Wind Baboon clan, who attempted to assassinate the Dragon Clan's Supreme... will never be allowed to leave the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Yes!"
Di Tian and the others quickly followed, finally bringing this farce to a complete end.
...
...
Back in the core!
With Qian Renshang's arrival, the Beast Kings' expressions were somewhat complicated.
This was the first time a human had entered the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yue Na had a headache, as the child still clung tightly to her.
"Biji, how long until the child wakes up?"
Gu Yuena asked the woman in the green dress beside her. The woman replied,
"About three more hours.
The child just overexerted himself with the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and is seriously injured... I just treated him, but he still needs to rest."
"Alright."
Gu Yuena said, somewhat annoyed.
"What's wrong with this child... Why is he clinging to me like this?
I can't pull him away."
"He probably thinks our lord is his mother,"
Biji said with a cool and unrestrained smile, covering her mouth. Ziji chimed in.
"Sister is right... This child probably thinks our lord is his mother.
But it's puzzling, how did such a small child end up in our Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Could it be... that he got separated from his family?"
Ziji boldly guessed, but Gu Yuena didn't care about that question.
She just wanted Qian Renshang to wake up quickly and let go of her.
Gu Yuena waited quietly, but the next moment she exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah!!! You wretched brat... What are you doing?"
Gu Yuena's face turned bright red, because Qian Renshang's little hand was reaching for the peak, and his mouth was moving as if he were hungry.
"
How dare you!" "Outrageous!"
"Damn human!"
Di Tian and the others were instantly enraged. What was this human brat doing?
Bi Ji's pretty face also turned red.
"Turn around, all of you... What are you grown men looking at?"
"Turn around now!"
Zi Ji said irritably.
Di Tian and the others turned around with unpleasant expressions, their resentment towards this human child growing even stronger.
This guy actually dared to take advantage of their master!
Bi Ji and Zi Ji looked at Gu Yuena's state with a somewhat cold and unruly air.
This was the first time they had seen their master in such a state.
"This child seems to lack a sense of security..."
Bi Ji stepped forward to explain to Gu Yuena. She could sense the child's unease.
"Is it okay to do that just because I don't feel safe?
...
That wretched brat, I'll make her pay when she wakes up."
Gu Yuena's pretty face was still flushed.
Even in his unconscious state, Qian Renshang seemed to sense the commotion around him.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw a very handsome profile.
The flawless profile was slightly flushed, making him incredibly beautiful.
"Mommy... ah, no... Sister, who are you?"
Qian Renshang's eyes widened as he realized what was happening.
"How did I get here... Where is this?
Who are you?"
Qian Renshang's face was full of confusion.
Wasn't he just fighting to the death with the wind baboon?
How did he end up here?
What a beautiful lake, and so many handsome uncles and aunts, and a beautiful sister holding him.
"Of course, I saved you, you brat!"
Gu Yuena said irritably.
"Hurry up and get down... Haven't you had enough of taking advantage of me?"
"Oh, oh... okay, okay."
Qian Renshang struggled to get out of Gu Yuena's embrace, but his face was pale, and he had no strength left.
He stood up briefly but then sat back down.
Gu Yuena softened at Qian Renshang's state.
"Never mind, let's leave it at that."
Qian Renshang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but he quickly looked at Gu Yuena and thanked her.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, beautiful sister... I, Qian Renshang, will definitely repay you in the future."
"Your name is Qian Renshang?
This name..."
Gu Yuena nodded. This name didn't sound like a good one.
"Now, I'll ask you questions, and you answer them!"
But Gu Yuena hadn't forgotten what she was supposed to do.
She looked at Qian Renshang and asked in a deep voice,
"Tell me... why did you come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone, who were the people traveling with you, and... where did you get the Golden Dragon King bloodline power from?"
Di Tian and the others immediately turned their gazes towards him, clearly very curious as well.
