Chapter 60 Lin Ye Meets Gu Yuena! The Lord of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King!
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun revealed a hint of embarrassment and a forced smile on his enormous bear face.
Still want to compete?
Even if you gave it ten times the courage, it wouldn't dare to do it now.
Seeing that Lin Ye had no intention of pursuing the matter, Bi Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
She bowed to the forestry official again, turned to the side, and made a "please" gesture.
"Blue Silver Emperor, the Lord is already waiting for you. Please follow me."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Lin Ye nodded slightly, then started walking, following behind Bi Ji, towards the core area of the Lake of Life.
Xiong Jun stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance. He touched his chest, which was still aching slightly. His eyes held nothing but awe, with no trace of resentment.
...
The path leading to the heart of the Lake of Life is a trail paved with countless exotic flowers and plants.
The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, and the vitality around us was so strong that it was almost tangible.
Lin Ye walked along the path, his expression calm.
Brigitte walked beside him, slightly ahead, to lead the way.
She moved with light steps and swaying figure, her emerald green dress resembling a blooming lotus flower.
The slit design of the skirt made her long, straight legs appear and disappear, dazzling the eyes in the dappled light and shadow around her.
The journey was silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Brigitte tried to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.
The man in front of her, though he appeared gentle and harmless, had left a deep impression on her with that devastating sword strike.
That was a power powerful enough to threaten Emperor Tian, and even the Lord.
After a long silence, Brigitte finally mustered the courage to break the tranquility.
Her voice remained as gentle and melodious as ever.
"Blue Silver Emperor, your strength has truly broadened Brigitte's horizons."
This is not flattery, but a heartfelt expression of admiration.
Lin Ye looked ahead and said calmly.
"It's just a means of self-preservation."
Upon hearing this, Brigitte's lips twitched slightly.
The strength to kill a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation with a single sword strike is merely... a means of self-preservation?
This Blue Silver Emperor is far too modest.
She composed herself and spoke again, this time voicing the biggest question in her mind.
"May I ask, Blue Silver Emperor, what brings you here to see the Lord?"
She paused, then added.
"I heard that you…seem to want to ask the Lord for something extremely precious?"
The work of forestry has not stopped.
"good."
He readily admitted it, without any intention of hiding anything.
"I need the 'Dragon Blood Ginseng Fruit' to restore my wife's physical body."
"This matter is of utmost importance to me."
Upon hearing the words "Dragon Blood Ginseng Fruit," Brigitte's pupils contracted slightly.
That is the most precious treasure at the core of the Lake of Life, a divine object that the Lord has nurtured with countless efforts. Its value is immeasurable.
Unexpectedly, this was what he wanted.
only...
But in her heart, Brigitte couldn't help but think of another possibility.
She secretly glanced at Lin Ye beside her.
He was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament, and his strength was unfathomable.
Such beings are among the most elite, whether placed in the human world or the world of spirit beasts.
As for herself, the Emerald Swan, she possesses unparalleled healing abilities, hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, and is widely recognized as a beauty in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Many soul beasts consider themselves to be "an extremely precious thing".
Lord Blue Silver Emperor always prefers to leave things unsaid.
Could the "precious thing" he mentioned... be referring to himself?
Once the thought pops into your head, you can't stop it.
Brigitte's heart started beating faster for no apparent reason.
She felt her cheeks getting hot.
Could it be... that this Blue Silver Emperor wants to propose marriage to the Lord, and wants to... take me away?
Although he said it was for his wife, perhaps that was just an excuse?
An excuse?
After all, for a strong person like him, having one or two more companions doesn't seem like a big deal.
For a moment, Brigitte was in a state of turmoil, and two beautiful blushes quietly appeared on her fair and jade-like face.
As she walked beside Lin Ye, her steps became lighter.
The initial tension and unease caused by Xiong Jun's reckless actions had long been replaced by a strange sense of anticipation and shyness.
She even began to mentally rehearse what she would do if the Blue Silver Emperor really spoke to the Lord.
Should I lower my head demurely, or...?
Just as Brigitte was wavering and lost in thought, the view in front of her suddenly opened up.
They had reached the end of the path.
Before us lies the core of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the source of the Lake of Life.
It was a sacred place that defies description.
The lake water is not crystal clear, but rather has a dreamlike milky white color, as if it were formed from the purest life energy.
A faint, seven-colored mist swirled on the lake's surface, each wisp containing the life essence that would drive even a titled Douluo mad.
In the very center of the lake, a towering ancient tree, its entire body emerald green, as if carved from the finest jade, stands quietly.
It is the ancient tree of life.
Beneath the ancient tree, near the lake shore, a figure sat quietly cross-legged.
Lin Ye's gaze was immediately drawn to that figure.
Brigitte stopped in her tracks, bowed her head respectfully, and dared not go any further.
It was a woman.
A woman whose beauty defies description.
She had a cascade of long, silver hair that cascaded down her back, its strands shimmering with a sacred and noble luster against the backdrop of the iridescent mist.
Her skin was more radiant than the waters of the Lake of Life, so fair it was almost transparent, as if it could be broken with a touch.
Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes cast faint shadows under her eyelids.
Her features were so exquisite that they resembled the most perfect creation of a god, without the slightest flaw.
Absolutely stunning.
Extraordinary and refined.
Just sitting there, she exuded a regal aura that transcended all living beings, as if she were the sole ruler of this world and this forest.
She wore a similar silver dress, simple in style, yet it perfectly accentuated her stunning figure.
Especially those legs crossed in a seated position.
Even though most of her figure was hidden by her skirt, her breathtakingly long and slender silhouette was still clearly visible.
The calves have smooth and elegant lines, the exposed ankles are rounded like jade, and the toes are crystal clear, as if they were the finest works of art in the world.
Just this sitting posture exudes endless allure.
It was an attraction that originated from the very source of life, from the pinnacle of one's bloodline, unrelated to worldly desires, yet more deadly than any other kind of lust.
She is none other than the ruler of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
