"Have I reached my limit?"
Gu Yuena murmured, her expression complex.
But now there were only three days left until the three-month deadline.
"No… it was agreed to be three months, so it has to be three months."
Gu Yuena didn't know why, but she was incredibly stubborn about this.
She was determined to hold on until three months later.
She felt that after three months, she could devour Qian Renshang without any guilt, then merge with his power and become the new Dragon God.
So,Gu Yuena took a deep breath, nodded to herself, and then picked up a bright green fruit and ate it.
She felt she could hold on for another three days.
She glanced at the sleeping Qian Renshang behind her with a complicated expression and sighed helplessly.
Di Tian and the others could only let Gu Yuena be stubborn for now.
Of course… they mainly felt that their lord should know what was going on.
They could devour Qian Renshang after the three-month agreement was fulfilled in a few days.
If that day still doesn't work, then Di Tian and the others will have to use force, even if they will be blamed by Gu Yuena afterward, they will accept it.
"There are never two perfect solutions..."
The kindest of the beast kings sighed helplessly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this child will only have three days to live.
He has suffered since birth, and we have given him three months of good times, which is enough for him."
"However... after he dies, perhaps we can try to do something for him?"
Bi Ji suddenly suggested. Qian Renshang being devoured by Gu Yuena is almost a foregone conclusion, and Bi Ji can't and won't stop it.
So, they can only try to fight for something for this poor child.
"Well said... we can definitely do something for this child, otherwise my conscience will really bother me."
"But, this child doesn't seem to have anything he particularly likes... what can we do for him?"
"That's right, this child has no desires."
The beast kings were excited at first, but then became troubled.
Just then, the seemingly honest Xiong Jun suddenly brightened up and spoke up.
"I understand, we can definitely avenge this child!"
"Avenge?"
Biji frowned, somewhat confused by Xiong Jun's meaning.
Xiong Jun immediately explained,
"Have you forgotten why this child has suffered so much since birth?
It's because of his... mother."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that... Damn it, when I heard this child tell his story, it made me so angry!
How could there be such a beastly mother in this world!" "
To be so cruel to one's own child, she's even more beastly than a beast."
The Demon King's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and the Crimson King was equally radiating murderous intent.
"Boss, so... should we do something for this child?"
Xiong Jun looked at the silent Di Tian and asked.
The latter was silent for a moment, then spoke seriously.
"Alright, after this child is devoured by the Lord... we'll avenge him!?"
As he spoke, Di Tian exuded a fierce and domineering aura.
They, who already felt guilty towards Qian Renshang, finally found an outlet.
That was to avenge Qian Renshang!
They didn't believe Qian Renshang had suffered such great injustice and abuse, and harbored no resentment whatsoever.
If there really wasn't... they couldn't bear to watch any longer, and would consider it a way of avenging Qian Renshang.
With this thought, the beast kings instantly felt relieved, and simply waited for the final moment of the three-day roar.
...
Gu Yuena was unaware of Di Tian and the others' thoughts; she simply continued to maintain her physical functions so that others wouldn't notice her difference.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
This time, after practicing spear techniques with Qian Renshang, Gu Yuena's expression was momentarily dazed.
Forcing down the blood she was about to vomit, Gu Yuena was about to rush to her child's tree hollow when she hesitated for a moment, then took Qian Renshang with her.
Bang!
Closing the door, Gu Yuena went straight to the bed, sat cross-legged in meditation, her face terrifyingly pale.
"Sister Nana... why are you so pale?
I have to go and inform Uncle Di Tian and the others."
Qian Renshang immediately panicked and was about to rush out to call for Di Tian and the others, but Gu Yuena beckoned, and Qian Renshang was pulled back.
"You silly boy... if you go out to call them, you'll die, do you know that?"
Gu Yuena said coldly, expressionless. Qian Renshang was puzzled.
"Why?"
Gu Yuena didn't want to explain this to Qian Renshang. She just pointed to the void with a stern face.
"I set up a restriction with my mental power... you must not go out these next few days.
If I can't hold on any longer, I will use my last strength to teleport you away."
That's right, Gu Yuena ultimately couldn't bring herself to harm a child; it crossed her bottom line.
Since she was being willful, she might as well be willful to the end.
Moreover, as the noble Silver Dragon King, if she had to survive by devouring a pitiful child, then Gu Yuena would rather die.
Gu Yuena wanted to try and make a breakthrough.
If she could create her own godhood, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
She didn't need to become a dragon god; she, the Silver Dragon King, could become a god directly!
Without further ado, Gu Yuena closed her eyes and began to work.
"Sister Nana..."
Qian Renshang was extremely anxious.
He sensed that Gu Yuena was intentionally hiding something from him, and that she might pay a heavy price.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Renshang decided to ignore Gu Yuena's words and directly tear open her protective barrier to call for Di Tian and the others to rescue her.
As for what Gu Yuena said—that calling for Di Tian would mean her death—
Qian Renshang didn't care at all. Every extra day he lived was a bonus; there was nothing to regret.
Besides, he had a vague idea of what was going on.
"Huff...why is it so hard?
No, I can't break it at all."
Qian Renshang was sweating profusely, using all his strength but unable to cause the slightest damage to Gu Yuena's barrier.
Qian Renshang was very distressed when suddenly, a loud thud was heard...Gu Yuena collapsed onto the bed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her breathing extremely unsteady.
Clearly, Gu Yuena had failed!
"Sister Nana!"
Qian Renshang rushed to Gu Yuena's side and cradled her head in his arms.
Gu Yuena had fallen unconscious once again.
Her face was deathly pale, and Qian Renshang could feel her life slipping away.
"What should I do? What should I do..."
With his limited experience and the fact that he hadn't even awakened his martial soul, Qian Renshang had no idea what to do.
After a moment of panic, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right... life force! Aunt Biji said Sister Nana seems to be lacking some kind of life force!"
Qian Renshang felt he had found a turning point, but he didn't have anything with strong life force around him.
"No... there seems to be something else."
Qian Renshang narrowed his eyes, staring at his wrist, then glanced at the small knife beside him.
As if he had made up his mind, his eyes were filled with determination!
