Chapter 68: Suppressed by a Raised Hand
Through her perception and instinctive reaction, she realized Bai Yu was right; this place was indeed suitable for plant growth.
There was just a peculiar suppression that made her a bit uncomfortable, but it wasn't a major issue.
"This place is indeed very special. If I cultivate here, my recovery speed is even faster than in the Blue Silver Forest, but there's a peculiar aura here that makes me a bit uncomfortable."
"The aura you perceive is the pressure from the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. This pressure prevents nearby living beings from developing sentience, but it has no effect on beings that already possess sentience."
Before Bai Yu could speak, a clear, cold female voice came over, making Bai Yu's pupils contract in shock.
In an instant, he condensed four water walls, blocking him and Ah Yin in the middle, and he even entered his Creation Form, staring intently behind him.
He saw a silver-haired woman leading a purple-haired woman, walking step by step towards them. Gu Yuena, who was leading, was looking at him with a smile.
Bai Yu's mouth twitched. He secretly thought he was an idiot. There were only a handful of women on the entire continent whom he couldn't perceive.
There was no one he had a grudge against, so why such a big reaction? He then took a deep breath and respectfully said, "Bai Yu greets both seniors. May I ask why you have come here? Is there anything I can help with?"
The smile on Gu Yuena's face became even brighter. She took a step, directly crossing space to appear in front of Bai Yu.
She raised her hand and pressed it on his shoulder, suppressing all his power. Then she chuckled softly, saying with a hint of teasing, "Hehe, don't be so agitated. We were just passing by and saw that this is the burial ground of two old friends, so we came to take a look."
Bai Yu's face alternated between green and red. Previously, he was always the one suppressing others, but what goes around comes around.
Now he was suppressed by this woman, and the most sorrowful thing was that he couldn't resist, so he could only give a dry laugh.
"Haha, in that case, please make yourselves at home, seniors. We won't disturb you any further."
At the same time, he secretly muttered to himself:
"Passing by? Bullshit. This woman, Silver Dragon King, definitely followed me all the way. Damn it, she wouldn't really want to capture me to be a laborer, would she?"
"To find a helper to deal with Shura, this young master has truly suffered greatly! Sigh, wanting to suppress her in return is a long and arduous task!"
Gu Yuena looked at him with a half-smile, while Ziji blinked her eyes, looking at Gu Yuena.
"Master, I feel like this guy seems to have some ill intentions? Should we just kill him?"
"Ah?"
Bai Yu's eyes widened as he stared directly at Ziji. He wasn't worried that the Silver Dragon King would kill him; he was just extremely curious how she saw his ill intentions.
Was it a natural-born Sixth Sense? So accurate? He had just started thinking about how to suppress Gu Yuena, and she already discovered it?
Hearing Ziji's question, Gu Yuena smiled, released her hand from Bai Yu's shoulder, and walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Don't mind it. I'd like to see what he can do, even if he has ill intentions."
Bai Yu was a bit embarrassed, but he didn't dare to talk back, afraid of being taken as a laborer. He could only turn his gaze to Ziji, secretly thinking:
"Little Hell Demon Dragon, don't let me catch you alone! Otherwise, you'll be in for it!"
Ziji shivered all over from Bai Yu's stare. Her eyebrows stood on end, and remembering that her master wouldn't let her act, she could only stomp her foot and run towards Gu Yuena.
"Master! I'm serious, that guy definitely has ill intentions!"
Ah Yin had been watching for a long time. Based on the description in the Chronicle of Light and Shadow, she had already recognized her.
This indescribably beautiful woman was Bai Yu's old friend from his previous life, the co-lord of Spirit Beasts, the Silver Dragon King!
And judging by her appearance, this Silver Dragon King should also have a copy.
Ah Yin then couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was her first time seeing Bai Yu look so frustrated.
Looking at Ah Yin, who wouldn't stop laughing, Bai Yu rolled his eyes.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"
Ah Yin waved her illusory arm, shaking her head and saying, "No more laughing, no more laughing. By the way, who are these two? Do you know them?"
Bai Yu was expressionless and also walked towards Gu Yuena, saying faintly, "I don't know them, but I can get to know them now."
Ah Yin heard Bai Yu's half-hearted answer and laughed again.
Bai Yu, who had turned around, also curled his lips, secretly thinking:
"You think I'm on the third floor, and you're on the fifth, but in reality, I'm in the atmosphere, little sister!"
When Bai Yu walked to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, ignoring Ziji who was glaring at him, he turned to look at Gu Yuena.
"Senior, you just said this is the burial ground of your two old friends? What exactly happened? Isn't this the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Gu Yuena withdrew her somewhat melancholic gaze and glanced at Bai Yu, secretly thinking he was really good at pretending. Since that was the case, she would play along.
"You don't need to call me senior, just call me Gu Yuena. Your question isn't too big of a secret, so I'll tell you."
Then Gu Yuena began to recount the ancient War of the Gods. Ziji and Ah Yin listened dumbfounded, and Bai Yu also pretended to be dumbfounded.
When Gu Yuena finished speaking, Ziji immediately spoke up impatiently.
"Master, since this is the burial ground of the two Dragon Kings, should we bring them back and rebury them?"
Gu Yuena shook her head, saying with some helplessness, "No, their dragon souls haven't dissipated. Once their remains are moved, it will definitely awaken them, and the commotion will be too great."
Ziji was very excited to hear that the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's dragon souls hadn't dissipated, but hearing that they couldn't be awakened made her scratch her head.
She looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a dejected expression. If her master couldn't do anything, then she certainly couldn't.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena reached out and patted Ziji, then turned to Bai Yu and said,
"I've already seen my old friends, so I'll be leaving now. You must cultivate diligently; I will come find you again!"
After speaking, Gu Yuena pulled Ziji and took a step, crossing space and disappearing to an unknown location.
Bai Yu scratched his hair, looking helpless. Cultivate diligently, and then go be your coolie? Where's the motivation in that!
Then he said to Ah Yin,
"You find a place to take root first and adapt to the aura here. I'll go out and catch some wild game for dinner. After I eat, I'll help you recover your strength."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Ah Yin was once again lost in thought, not even noticing Bai Yu walking away. She muttered to herself,
"Recover? What should I do after I recover? Go find Hao... Tang Hao? Or go see Little San? Little San... is he still my son?"
Ah Yin shook her head. Just as she was about to ask Bai Yu, she found that he was long gone. She could only sigh and stop thinking about these things.
Then she found an empty space and took root there, restoring her shrunken body to its normal size.
In an instant, a Blue Silver Emperor covering one-fifth of the entire valley's area appeared, giving a sense of blotting out the sky.
