Gu Yuena's hand transformed into a claw, fiercely stabbing towards Qian Renshang, her eyes filled with killing intent!
But... her hand stopped at Qian Renshang's neck, Gu Yuena's face full of complex emotions.
"Sigh... in the end, I still can't bring myself to do it?"
Gu Yuena was actually more decisive than Di Tian had imagined; she had calmed down from that emotional state that night.
She knew that as the Silver Dragon King, the current ruler of all soul beasts, her greatest mission was to become a god... and then lead the soul beasts to reclaim their rightful place.
And now, all she needed to do was devour Qian Renshang's Golden Dragon King bloodline to achieve a great deal of success!
But thinking of the child's tragic past, she felt a pang of pity; this child was too pitiful... she, Gu Yuena, couldn't bear to harm such a child.
"I'll raise him for another month... no, three months.
In these three months, I'll let him experience the most precious and beautiful things in the world, and then I'll send him on his way."
"That way, I won't feel guilty about absorbing his Golden Dragon King bloodline."
Gu Yuena looked at Qian Renshang's profile and secretly made up her mind.
Once the three months were up, she would definitely kill Qian Renshang.
The fast-sleeping Qian Renshang was unaware of Gu Yuena's resolve; he was simply dreaming, having a very long dream.
In the dream, his mother, Bibi Dong, regretted her actions and frantically begged for his forgiveness, as did her, Qian Renxue.
They wanted Qian Renshang to return, to be their good son and good brother.
This dream would have been a beautiful dream in the past, but now it was a pure nightmare.
"I won't go home again... I have no mother, no sister, I can live well on my own."
"Go away... go away!"
"I... won't be sad."
Qian Renshang unconsciously murmured in his sleep, large tears streaming down his face, looking incredibly sorrowful.
"Don't cry...don't cry."
Hearing Qian Renshang cry again, Gu Yuena, who had just been thinking about killing him three months later, immediately changed her expression.
She picked Qian Renshang up
and gently rocked him, her voice tender.
"Don't cry, don't cry...dreams are always the opposite."
"Waaah...I don't want to be abandoned, please don't abandon me."
"No, no."
"Mommy!"
"Sigh..."
In the dimly lit room, a silver-haired girl held a child and whispered something, the scene was extremely heartwarming.
Little did they know that their intertwined fates were about to begin!
...
...
The next day, early morning!
Gu Yuena woke up on the wooden bed.
She shook her head, feeling a little groggy.
She had barely slept the night before; Qian Renshang had been so restless, crying almost all night.
She subconsciously touched the bed, her expression instantly changing.
"Wait...where's the child?"
Gu Yuena was shocked. Qian Renshang was gone; she had searched the entire room but couldn't find him.
Just as she was about to go out to look for it, she felt herself bump into something and quickly stopped.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
someone cried out in pain.
Gu Yuena looked down and saw a rather thin figure.
That determined little face was none other than Qian Renshang.
"Sister Nana... time to eat!"
Qian Renshang looked up and handed her the food wrapped in grass leaves.
This was his breakfast, which didn't actually contain much—just some porridge, fruit, and some meat.
"You just went out to make breakfast?"
Gu Yuena was a little stunned.
"What time did you get up?"
"I don't know... it was just getting light."
Qian Renshang answered casually, and without waiting for Gu Yuena to ask any more questions, he put down the food and turned to run.
His urgent voice carried on the wind.
"Sister Nana, eat first... I still have to deliver some to others."
Gu Yuena watched Qian Renshang's small figure running away, her expression complicated.
"This kid..."
...
Qian Renshang brought breakfast to everyone.
He first went to Biji, who warmly welcomed him, and then to Ziji, where the same was true.
Then he walked towards the direction where Di Tian was resting, and after searching for a while, he finally found Di Tian... who was sitting quietly by the Lake of Life.
"Uncle Di Tian... here, this is the breakfast I made."
Qian Renshang ran over with the food, and Di Tian slightly opened his eyes.
"Take it away, I don't need to eat this useless stuff."
Based on the decision they had discussed the night before, Di Tian deliberately replied indifferently, hoping that the child would give up.
But Qian Renshang just gave a faint "oh," and then put down the food and left.
"Remember to eat, Uncle Di Tian."
Di Tian: "???"
Can't this kid understand human language?
He wanted to find Qian Renshang, but found that the child had simply run away.
Next, Qian Renshang went to find Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang in turn.
Unsurprisingly... he ran into a wall?
These beast kings had secretly joined forces to avoid giving Qian Renshang a friendly look.
Therefore, they were completely unwilling to accept anything from him.
"No, take it back!"
"What are you doing, kid?... I don't want this stuff."
"Food? This is food?
It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
...
But Qian Renshang, who had been rebuffed all the way, wasn't angry at all.
He put down the things and left. Whether
Di Tian and the others wanted him or not was their business, but whether Qian Renshang would do it was his own.
They had taken him in, and he had to repay their kindness; this was Qian Renshang's principle.
However, he was still too weak to do anything significant, and could only accumulate small things little by little.
Besides, speaking of being rebuffed, how many rebuffs had he suffered with Bibi Dong... this was nothing compared to what he had already experienced.
All the Xiong Jun and the others were astonished to find that after they refused Qian Renshang, the boy had become even more foolish.
"Why are you so happy... Didn't you notice they're targeting you?"
Gu Yuena had obviously noticed Di Tian and the others' underhanded tactics, and she approached Qian Renshang curiously.
"Shouldn't I be happy?
Because I feel so blessed right now!"
"Blessed... Why?"
"Because I can eat my fill here, and I can stay here... I have a place to live, I'm not an unwanted child anymore."
Qian Renshang was content; he knew no one in this world owed him anything, so he cherished the present.
Gu Yuena opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
This child was frighteningly strong!
Not far away!
Di Tian and the others had actually been listening to the commotion using their mental power.
After hearing Qian Renshang's answer, they all fell silent!
They suddenly felt guilty; had they gone too far?
