NOVEL NEXT Chapter 523: Three-Eyed Golden Lion Cries Disaster, Lin Xiao Bragging?
Gu Yuena discovered that Lin Xiao seemed very familiar with Na'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Xiao Wu.
And Lin Xiao addressed her as Gu Yuena…
This meant he knew she was the Silver Dragon King?
Did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion or Xiao Wu leak the secret, or did Lin Xiao figure it out himself?
Gu Yuena didn't know.
But Gu Yuena knew she was very unhappy right now.
Why was the Emperor Auspicious Beast so sure she wasn't as good as Lin Xiao? And why did it keep saying she shouldn't do things she wasn't good at.
Its words were all insinuating that she wasn't suitable to be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, that she lacked the virtue for her position.
Gu Yuena couldn't take it anymore.
Her voice echoed in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind.
"Go ask this Lin Xiao, ask him if he thinks Gu Yuena is suitable to be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, and if not, what are the reasons?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated.
It wasn't that she was afraid to ask Lin Xiao questions.
It was just, wouldn't the Master be upset if she heard the real answer later?
Only when Gu Yuena urged the Three-Eyed Golden Lion repeatedly.
Did she slowly ask Lin Xiao:
"Lin Xiao, I want to ask you something, do you think Master is suitable to be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts?"
Lin Xiao looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with some surprise, as if wondering why she would ask such a question.
But after a moment of thought, Lin Xiao gave his answer.
"Gu Yuena is not suitable, in fact, she lacks the virtue for her position."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion subtly observed Gu Yuena's expression and found that her demeanor was normal, without any unusual signs, as if the discussion wasn't about her.
But Xiao Wu noticed that Gu Yuena was holding a snack in one hand, while the other hand unconsciously crushed the snack into powder.
This… the situation was very dangerous!
It was like the calm before the storm.
Damn it, how should she transmit this information to Lin Xiao?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked again:
"Then Lin Xiao, why do you think Master is not suitable?"
Lin Xiao seemed a bit puzzled.
"What's there to ask? If she's not suitable, she's not suitable."
"Whether Gu Yuena is suitable or not isn't for her to decide, you can tell just by looking at what she's done."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blurted out:
"What has Master done?"
"Yeah, what has Gu Yuena done?"
Lin Xiao didn't answer, but instead asked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion back. After a brief moment of thought, the atmosphere gradually fell silent.
It made so much sense, what had Gu Yuena done? She hadn't done anything!
Knowing Gu Yuena was waiting for the answer behind her, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly found an excuse:
"Master's existence is still very useful, she united the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Hmm… are you sure it was her who united the Ferocious Beasts? With or without her, the Ferocious Beasts are still like this, aren't they? You could even say Di Tian has always been in charge."
The Silver Dragon King held the supreme Authority over the Star Dou Great Forest, known as the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, but in essence, she was a hands-off manager, possessing Power but not doing the work.
If you ask, people say the Silver Dragon King is crucial to the Star Dou Great Forest, the hope of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the future of the entire Soul Beast species, but once you ask for specific benefits, they have nothing to say.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's scalp tingled.
She subconsciously swallowed, her eyes involuntarily wanting to glance back to see Gu Yuena's expression, but she didn't quite dare to turn around.
Until Gu Yuena's voice, calm and devoid of emotion, echoed in her mind, carrying a faint hint of death, and urged her on.
"Don't stop, keep asking."
"I'd like to see just how unbearable this Master is in Lin Xiao's eyes?"
"Heh heh…"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was now certain.
Gu Yuena wasn't indifferent, far from it. Her seemingly calm words now concealed a raging storm, making her extremely dangerous.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion really wanted to salvage the situation and tried to guide the conversation towards praising Gu Yuena, subtly suggesting:
"You can't say it like that."
"The Silver Dragon King is the spiritual totem of the Soul Beasts. They don't need to do anything beneficial for the Soul Beasts; their mere existence is the backbone of all Soul Beasts."
Lin Xiao shook his head. "That's not true."
"Firstly, the Soul Beasts in the Extreme North don't even know about the Silver Dragon King. Take the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, for example. They live in the Extreme North year-round; what kind of spiritual totem could they possibly have? Everyone believes in their own strength more than anything."
"Secondly, the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest follow the basic principle of survival of the fittest. What good is a spiritual totem? If there were a spiritual totem, they should be classified into the same groups and not kill each other."
"Even those Ferocious Beasts in the Lake of Life are no different! Weren't Xiong Jun and the Myriad Demon King both subdued by Di Tian? What does that have to do with Gu Yuena?"
"Gu Yuena's existence only continuously occupies the resources of the Ferocious Beast tribe. Any resource that truly benefits the Ferocious Beasts is basically supplied to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena has always been in a severely injured state, constantly draining the Ferocious Beasts' energy and slowing down their growth."
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, I think if Gu Yuena wasn't around and the Authority was completely handed over to Di Tian, letting him act freely, the Soul Beasts' situation might even be better."
"Because of Gu Yuena, their superior, Di Tian is restricted in his actions and must prioritize whether Gu Yuena agrees, and prioritize not disturbing Gu Yuena's recovery."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned.
She stammered for a long time, so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, still not knowing what to say.
She only had one thought in her mind:
It's over, it's all over! If Master doesn't blow up, I'll eat my hat!
At this moment.
Gu Yuena finally couldn't help it. She smiled thinly and pretended to be naive as she asked:
"It seems that this Co-Lord of Soul Beasts named Gu Yuena is indeed useless."
"Na'er thinks that you, Lin Xiao, are more suitable. But if you were in her place, what could you bring to the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Lin Xiao glanced at Na'er.
He saw that this gluttonous dragon, for once, managed to curb her appetite, only eating half of her snacks and even starting to care about important matters. Had she truly improved after being in the human world for so long?
"It's not about what I would bring to the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but what I would bring to all Soul Beasts!"
"If I were in Gu Yuena's position, the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would have absolute strength. Of course, I would first conquer the Ferocious Beasts, then make the Extreme North submit, and then advance into the sea Soul Beasts. The sea is vast, but it doesn't need to be completely conquered. We only need to have our own sphere of influence."
"This way, when launching a Beast Tide, it wouldn't just be the Star Dou Great Forest fighting alone, but Soul Beasts from all regions surrounding the human empires. You must know that the number of Soul Masters is far less than the number of Soul Beasts."
"This applies to any level!"
"Of course, I am human, so I naturally wouldn't be a traitor. I won't help the Soul Beasts invade human empires. What I can do is to allocate larger habitats for the Soul Beasts to recuperate and grow, and at the same time, open up the path to godhood for the Soul Beasts."
You're just bragging!
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes!
There's one more chapter, will be released later.
