Silence lingered for a while before Gu Yuena took several steps back in shock.
"What?!"
Is this what Lin Yi is truly thinking?!
I can't understand, I can't understand at all.
But.
But there is an inexplicable sense that his thoughts are far superior to mine.
How did someone like me, whose mind is only filled with thoughts of revenge, becoming stronger, winning prizes, and being intimate with Lin Yi, share his bed, or even dare to disrespect him...
Gu Yuena's body deflated like a burst balloon, and she suddenly fell to her knees, looking utterly dejected.
Di Tian came over to help Gu Yuena up, but she refused him with a snap: "Don't touch me, let me cool down for a bit."
"My Lord, what is this... Did these words enlighten you?"
Di Tian asked in surprise.
Gu Yuena didn't dare to answer.
Enlightened my ass, I didn't understand a word, how could I possibly be worthy of such a revelation.
I'm such a waste, and to think I'm a Dragon King. My thoughts are far too inferior to Lin Yi's...
The others were immensely shocked by Gu Yuena's reaction.
What do I do now? It seems Gu Yuena has been enlightened by what Senior Lin Yi said. Do strong individuals realize truths this quickly? Thousand Waves knitted his brows, still pondering the deeper meaning behind Lin Yi's words.
To inherit the sacred teachings and maintain peace for all eternity... What a grand ideal, but it certainly isn't as simple as it appears on the surface, otherwise Gu Yuena wouldn't have reacted so dramatically.
There must be a deeper meaning!
Damn! Is it because I'm too weak to understand its deeper meaning?!
"Bang! Bang!"
Thousand Waves angrily hit himself on the head several times, then with a thud, he knelt down.
His eyes were hollow.
Still can't figure out the deeper meaning...
Bi Bidong watched this scene in amazement, Thousand Waves... had an epiphany too?!
How... How should I act to live up to my position as the Pope, to be worthy of the trust and expectation Senior Lin Yi has for me?!
Somebody help me!
Just then, Bi Bidong suddenly noticed Lin Yi's calm gaze turn toward her.
It was that kind of look, with a trace of scrutiny, as if Senior Lin Yi was expecting my response, he must be hoping that I would react differently from the others!
With a heart for heaven and earth, to govern for the people... Other than being moved by the ambition and breadth of heart in these phrases, Bi Bidong couldn't detect anything else.
No! I must be different from the others!
Bi Bidong spoke urgently, "Good! Good! 'With a heart for heaven and earth, to govern for the people!'"
She immediately knelt on one knee and cupped her fists toward Lin Yi.
"Bi Bidong is enlightened!"
Thousand Waves turned his head, his eyes nearly popping out.
Fuck, Bi Bidong has had an epiphany?!
This woman... She's been hiding her depth all along!
I never realized she was capable of such strong comprehension, to grasp the truth from Senior Lin Yi's profound and mysterious words.
Worthy of being a woman who can become the Pope... Xue'er, if you could reach your mother's level, grandpa's heart would be at ease.
I'm old, it seems I can no longer have such realizations.
Sigh.
Tang Chen and Poseissi exchanged a silent look, then almost in unison said: "Senior Lin Yi's righteousness! We are ashamed of our inferiority!"
Seeing the strong individuals react one by one, everyone else understood that it still depends on strength.
Considering the gap between them and the strong individuals present, if they wished to comprehend the secrets in Senior Lin Yi's words, it would take a very long time, maybe even an entire lifetime.
Bi Ji stood beside Lin Yi, turning to look at everyone's reaction below the stage, then back at Lin Yi, going back and forth several times.
```
This is Goose Goose's reward, so why doesn't Goose Goose feel anything at all? You all have such big reactions... Hmph, not hearing any words of praise for Goose Goose, such a trash reward.
Bi Ji grumbled a few words to herself and quietly walked away from Lin Yi's side.
Lin Yi: "..."
What kind of fanciful nonsense is this silly goose concocting in her head?
He looked at the crowd expressionlessly: "This really surprises me, the heart's voice that Bi Ji heard turned out to be this. Just as you all might think, there's so much I consider every moment, I've been to many places, met many people, and experienced many things; there's no helping it, it is what it is."
Gu Yuena looked up at him, her elegant eyebrows knitting together: "Aren't you... tired?"
Lin Yi gave a resigned smile: "At first, I was tired, but now I've grown accustomed to it."
"Seeing your reactions, you must all have your own interpretations of my heart's voice, which I find very comforting."
Gu Yuena's face flushed slightly, and she suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Not understanding from the very first word, does that count as understanding...
"Isn't it?"
Lin Yi suddenly asked back.
Gu Yuena blinked, bit her lip, and with a flushed face said, "Yes! I... I understood a lot! What's the word for it? Great enlightenment!"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile: "Mhm."
Gu Yuena turned around, desperately wanting to crawl into a hole out of embarrassment.
She didn't want to be the Silver Dragon King anymore because she felt like a foolish idiot, and Dragon Kings shouldn't be idiots, even Bi Ji qualified more than her...
"Bi Ji, do you still have another chance to attack? Go ahead."
Lin Yi said to Bi Ji, who was standing far off.
[Trash Gold Intermediate reward]
[No praise for Goose Goose, trash!]
[Goose Goose doesn't like this reward!]
[I detected a whiff of lying from the lord just now, Goose Goose smelled it]
[Not sure, Goose Goose needs to get closer to sniff again]
Lin Yi watched as Bi Ji ran down the stage, went over to Gu Yuena, and sniffed back and forth several times, then rushed back up again.
[Confirmed, the lord really reeks of dishonesty, the lord isn't sincere]
Bi Ji stood in her spot with a myriad of expressions.
Gu Yuena looked oddly at the creature onstage and then dubiously sniffed herself several times, completely baffled.
Lin Yi: "..."
Suddenly, he really wanted to get rid of this "hearing Bi Ji's heart's voice" reward...
Soul cannonballs are single-use, so Bi Ji's second attack required Gu Yuena to go up on stage to help.
After getting to the stage, Gu Yuena realized Bi Ji kept giving her an odd stare... Irritation welled up inside Gu Yuena, and she immediately knocked on Bi Ji's head.
"What are you freaking out about?!"
"Ouch!!"
"Get ready to attack!"
"Okay!"
[The lord's scent is delightful, every time we attack together I want to snuggle up]
[Didn't hug the lord to sleep last night, if Goose Goose can't touch the fluffy fluff, I won't be able to sleep]
[Wondering if the Golden Dragon Lord has any fluff to touch, curious...]
"Enough!"
Lin Yi couldn't take it anymore, damn it, turn off this heart-hearing reward!
Huh???
Gu Yuena and Bi Ji were both startled by his exclamation, hastily retreating backward and looking at Lin Yi in alarm.
"Er, it has nothing to do with you. Son Goku still wants to come to Soul Land to see me, begging incessantly, I'm just fed up with it. Just continue with your attack," he said.
So that was it... Gu Yuena, still feeling uneasy, patted her chest.
