Chương 219: Chapter 217 Gu Yuena's Token, The Thoughts of the Ferocious Beasts_1

"Phew. Finally out," Xu Ran muttered to himself as he came out of the Lake of Life and breathed in the fresh air outside.

The moist, warm breeze that hit his face upon arrival cooled the intense heat in his heart by a few notches.

The delicate figure of Gu Yuena, her exquisite beauty, and that cold demeanor were indeed incredibly enticing.

She truly deserved to be considered the number one beauty on Soul Land at the moment!

"Ding, resolved the divine injury on Gu Yuena. Mission progress 1/20, Host can acquire 100 Skill Points. Host now has a total of 3500 Skill Points," the system lady's prompt sounded.

The mission for Gu Yuena rewarded task progress incrementally, like an hourly job with daily payoffs.

"After completing this mission, I'll have more than five thousand Skill Points," Xu Ran muttered to himself.

This time, he definitely needed to save up ten thousand Skill Points to get a chance at the grand prize.

"Lord Xu Ran," when Xu Ran emerged from the Lake of Life, the other ferocious beasts all came to his side and respectfully saluted him.

They knew what Xu Ran had gone to the lake bottom to do.

"The Master's injury has improved; do not disturb the Master," Xu Ran said with his hands behind his back, looking at the many ferocious beasts before him without a trace of fear in his heart.

Now that he was an Auspicious Beast, and especially favored by Gu Yuena, it wasn't just in the Aquipeia Forest, even if he went to the Far North or the Deep Sea, creatures like the Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Deepsea Devil Whale King would have to treat him with reverence.

And that included half-God Realm creatures like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale, who wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to an Auspicious Beast.

"Yes," the ferocious beasts responded, all looking up at Xu Ran.

As powerful as they were, they naturally noticed the difference in Xu Ran between when he had entered and when he had come out.

At Xu Ran's waist hung a Token, silver and white, which belonged to Gu Yuena!

This Token was fashioned from Gu Yuena's Dragon Scale, and even a single scale from a God King Level powerhouse possessed terrifying power.

When Gu Yuena gave Xu Ran the Token, she mentioned that it could block three fatal attacks for him. But the Token's abilities went far beyond that.

With Gu Yuena's Dragon Scale, all dragon-class soul beasts in the world would feel its impact and suppression. The weaker the dragon-class soul beast, the stronger the suppression they would feel.

Even the Black Dragon King Di Tian felt a hint of suppression from this Dragon Scale. One could imagine how strong the suppression was for other dragon-class soul beasts.

"Where are Qiu'er and Xiaowu?" Xu Ran asked, noticing the change in the ferocious beasts' expressions and smiling faintly.

"Since Miss Xiaowu was visiting the Lake of Life for the first time, we just recently constructed a small dwelling for the Master and Miss Xiaowu at the heart of the lake. Qiu'er should be there too," Bi Ji said respectfully, her body bowed slightly, clad in a cyan long dress—graceful and elegant, as if she emanated the air of a lady of Aquipeia Forest.

Although Bi Ji was not adept at combat, her strong healing powers gave her good standing with many ferocious beasts of Aquipeia Forest. Aside from Di Tian, Bi Ji had the greatest influence; most beasts would give her some face.

If Aquipeia Forest was to hold a democratic election to choose a manager, Bi Ji's approval rating would likely be even higher than Di Tian's.

Bi Ji was that kind of person—capable and virtuous, with the air of a well-managed housewife.

In such attire, with Bi Ji wearing an apron and cooking deftly, he could embrace her from behind, exchanging sweet nothings and enjoying a different kind of pleasure.

Only a woman with Bi Ji's temperament would exude such homemaker vibes.

...

"Hmm, I see." Xu Ran nodded and looked towards the center of the lake.

In the depths of the mist at the lake's heart, there was a small island, and on that island stood a newly constructed room, obviously built considering him and Xiaowu.

Xu Ran quickly made his way toward the heart of the lake.

After Xu Ran had left, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts looked at his retreating figure with eyes full of envy.

"I never expected the master to give such an important Token to Lord Xu Ran, not even Di Tian has received such a Token from the master," said the Red King.

Since Gu Yuena's Token contained her essence, she wouldn't give away such an item to avoid exposure. But now that Xu Ran had received Gu Yuena's Token, it indicated something, that in case Xu Ran was in danger one day, Gu Yuena might even risk exposing herself to save his life.

And this clearly showed how much Gu Yuena valued and trusted Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was already an Auspicious Beast, and now with Gu Yuena's high regard and trust, his status in the Aquipeia Forest would even surpass that of Di Tian in the future.

"Indeed, I didn't expect Lord Xu Ran to be so extraordinary; he gained such esteem from the master upon their first meeting," Zi Ji's seductive voice rose, her face full of charming smiles, and her willowy waist like that of a snake made all the ferocious beasts involuntarily glance over several times.

They all knew that this seductress Zi Ji had struck it lucky; somehow, she had gotten the favor of the Auspicious Beast during a mission. With the Auspicious Beast's favor, it was almost certain Zi Ji would pass her great Tribulation in two to three thousand years.

"Zi Ji, what is your relationship with the Auspicious Beast now?" Di Tian couldn't help asking.

He looked at the enticing demonic dragon beside him. Originally, he had some thoughts since he and Zi Ji were both dragon-class soul beasts, and both members of the Dragon King lineage; their union would have been a fine match. But now this incident occurred.

If Zi Ji and the newly arrived Lord Auspicious Beast were in that kind of relationship, he wouldn't dare to entangle with Zi Ji anymore.

Interfering with the Auspicious Beast would be tantamount to courting disaster from the heavens!

Once cursed by heaven, crossing the Tribulation would be impossible.

"What do you think? My relationship with the Lord is naturally very close," said Zi Ji coquettishly, gliding gracefully and looking at Xu Ran's silhouette gradually fading into the mist over the lake.

Although there was no actual relationship between her and Xu Ran yet, his image had long been in her heart.

From the moment she condescended to massage Xu Ran's feet and legs, she began fulfilling the duties of a wife.

That was to make Xu Ran comfortable and to serve him well.

Initially, she just wanted to build a good relationship with the Auspicious Beast to spite Bi Ji, but now she had completely abandoned that idea.

"Is that so?" Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts were shaken, looking at Zi Ji's curvaceous and overly ripe body, no longer daring to harbor any improper thoughts. The Auspicious Beast was a favored being of heaven and earth, born to comply with destiny. Fighting with the Auspicious Beast over a woman was defiant to the heavens. On the day of the Tribulation, one might as well lie flat on the ground and wait to be struck dead by the lightning.

"Congratulations," said Bi Ji, also giving Zi Ji a profound look, but speaking with great grace. If Zi Ji's affair with the Auspicious Beast were to come true, Zi Ji's status in the Aquipeia Forest would not be inferior to hers.

"Thank you," Zi Ji cast a glance at Bi Ji, catching her sincere gaze, and unintentionally responded. In the past, due to their competitive nature as women, she and Bi Ji didn't get along.

But now, Xu Ran held the first place in her heart; she lost the desire to compete with Bi Ji, and her liking for Bi Ji increased sharply.

Or rather, her targets of comparison had shifted to Xiaowu, Wang Qiu'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong—women who were by Xu Ran's side.
