Chapter 524: Gu Yuena's Defense Crumbles, Am I Truly Unworthy to be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts?
Conquering soul beasts and forming a great Ferocious Beast alliance was easier said than done.
In reality, Gu Yuena was severely injured, and no one knew how long it would take her to recover. Di Tian and the others had to guard her and protect her during her recovery.
Um…
Wait, something seemed off.
Had she really become a burden?
No, how could she possibly be a burden! She had always been trying to find ways to revitalize soul beasts, and because her goals were so grand, she disdained such useless actions.
Even if she united the soul beasts, could they defeat the God Realm? It would be better to find a way to rescue the Golden Dragon King!
How to rescue him?
That's none of your business, I'm working on it!
Na'er subtly mocked Lin Xiao:
"Wow, it sounds like you, Lin Xiao, are much more capable than this Gu Yuena. You have so much influence. Just opening your mouth, you can promise soul beasts larger habitats and casually pave the way for soul beasts to reach godhood!"
Gu Yuena couldn't take it anymore. She directly retorted, accusing Lin Xiao of bragging and making empty promises, claiming he lacked the actual ability and was just creating illusions.
She suddenly lost interest in Lin Xiao. She had initially thought he was quite capable, so much so that even the Emperor Auspicious Beast was clamoring to have his children.
Now it seemed.
He was just someone with delusional thoughts and empty words.
Lin Xiao didn't realize he was being mocked.
After all, Na'er's character as a gluttonous dragon meant she had a simple mind and a huge appetite. Her amazing brain capacity couldn't handle the complex operation of mocking others.
"I can describe Gu Yuena in four words."
"Living off the fat of the land."
"Those who hold power but do nothing are the most hateful people; because they occupy positions, they also hinder those who want to do things."
Lin Xiao spoke with implied meaning and said no more.
Gu Yuena was very disdainful.
No matter how much Lin Xiao slandered her, would the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest feel the same way? Let alone Di Tian and the others, even Xiao Wu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't agree!
Thinking this, Gu Yuena looked at Xiao Wu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, only to be shocked to find them nodding thoughtfully, as if they deeply agreed.
Her composure suddenly faltered.
If even the soul beasts didn't believe her and instead believed Lin Xiao, a human, did that mean her actions had truly disappointed everyone?
Was she truly unworthy of being the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts?
At this moment.
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress walked in from outside.
Gu Yuena was surprised to find that these were two Ferocious Beasts! Among them, the one with snow-white hair and an ethereal aura was even comparable to Di Tian!
"Oh, Little Auspicious Beast is visiting again."
The Snow Empress walked forward, rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cheek, and asked curiously:
"What are you all talking about? You look so serious."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion briefly explained.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress poked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head.
"Is there even a need to ask? The Silver Dragon King is naturally no match for Lin Xiao. He's the one who truly found a way to help soul beasts achieve godhood…"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very curious.
"What way?"
"I won't tell you."
"…"
The Ice Empress also said:
"What Silver Dragon King? I don't know her."
"Let her be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts. Anyway, I only trust Lin Xiao."
After she spoke, she seemed a little embarrassed, turning her face slightly to avoid Lin Xiao seeing, her ear tips turning a little red.
Lin Xiao felt deeply gratified.
It was worth his sincere devotion to the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress!
However, while Lin Xiao was gratified, Gu Yuena beside him fell into a state of depression.
She believed she was the undisputed Co-Lord of Soul Beasts and didn't need to do anything; all the Ferocious Beasts should have bowed down to her just by knowing of her existence.
But why did the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, who were soul beasts themselves, disregard her, the dignified Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, and instead trust a human like Lin Xiao?
Gu Yuena's mood was extremely unpleasant.
She snorted, "What do you mean, becoming a god or not? I don't understand."
"I don't see you two as gods either."
It was the same old passive-aggressive tone.
But Na'er's brainless image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds, and it became Gu Yuena's best disguise at this moment. No one found anything wrong with her words; on the contrary, it fit her persona perfectly.
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress exchanged a smile.
The Ice Empress's tone was tinged with a hint of boastfulness, proud yet a little cute.
"Heh, Lin Xiao helped me through my 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."
"When Lin Xiao becomes a Titled Douluo, he can also help Sister Xue through her 800,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."
"Lin Xiao and I have signed a very special contract. Our powers are bound and intertwined. When Lin Xiao becomes a god, my power will also be sublimated, thus achieving godhood."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up.
Completely disregarding Gu Yuena's presence, it blurted out impatiently:
"There's such a good thing?"
"Lin Xiao, sign a contract with me too!"
"I'll have children for you when I become a god!"
Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to deal with this 5,000-year-old young beast, dismissing it as childish prattle. Who knew how old her mind actually was? There was no need to argue with her.
Xiao Wu's gaze was filled with grievance.
Fine, I worked so hard for you. You asked me to monitor Tang San, and I did. Then you asked me to make Da Ming and Er Ming defect, and I did. Now I'm even your spy, helping you take care of two troublesome ancestors.
But when there's something good, it doesn't involve me?
Xiao Wu felt a pang of heartache… her gaze towards Lin Xiao was melancholic, like a resentful wife.
Lin Xiao felt a bit awkward. He was mainly embarrassed to face Xiao Wu's gaze. He seemed to have truly forgotten about her, subconsciously treating her as a tool – a very useful one.
He said sheepishly, "Everything has a process. When it's time to settle the accounts, I can give you a reward then, right?"
"As for the Ice Empress, it was because her Heavenly Tribulation was imminent, so the reward was given in advance. That's right, it's exactly like that."
Xiao Wu felt a little better upon hearing this.
Gu Yuena remained suspicious, as all of this was too unbelievable.
Something that even I, the dignified Silver Dragon King, cannot achieve, can Lin Xiao really do it?
The ability to help Ferocious Beasts through their Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years is shocking enough, even to the point of being unbelievable.
"No, there's a fatal logical flaw here. Lin Xiao is clearly a human, so why would he care about Soul Beasts?"
"He's human, shouldn't he be trying to kill all Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings and Soul Bones? Is he really placing himself in the position of a God Emperor, ruling over all races?"
Gu Yuena didn't believe it.
She quietly observed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Wu, realizing that these two allies of hers were starting to be brainwashed by Lin Xiao, viewing him as a savior.
Terrifying.
What if all of this is Lin Xiao's conspiracy…
Hiss—
Gu Yuena couldn't help but shiver.
Her gaze turned cold.
No, I can't let Lin Xiao brainwash the Soul Beasts like this. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a lost cause, but Di Tian and the others absolutely must not believe Lin Xiao's nonsense.
Those who are not of our kind must have different intentions!
I must make Di Tian keep his distance from Lin Xiao and treat him as an extremely dangerous individual! A cult leader! Do not approach or cooperate with him without authorization!
And I will continue to lurk by Lin Xiao's side from now on, using the information gap that occasionally arises to expose Lin Xiao's true face!
That's how it is!
When Lin Xiao's true face is revealed, I'll make these ungrateful Soul Beasts who believe a human over me regret it immensely!
