"Do you want to cooperate?"
Shi Quan thought to himself, this was the only purpose he could think of for Gu Yuena.
The God Realm does not allow Spirit Beasts to become Gods.
Gu Yuena probably also wants to retaliate against the God Realm, and the Dragon God's other Clone, the Golden Dragon King, is still Sealed in the God Realm.
In other words, the God Realm is also Gu Yuena's enemy, and as the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
If the Child of Destiny is truly as Gu Yuena said, then even if Shi Quan does nothing, he will be categorized by the Gods of the God Realm into the enemy camp of the God Realm.
Gu Yuena was already outnumbered, so she naturally had to win over Shi Quan, a partner with astonishing potential.
As for Gu Yuena helping him conceal the aura of the Child of Destiny, Shi Quan didn't dare to gamble; if it was truly as Gu Yuena said, and the Gods directly made a move, then it would only end in tragedy.
Thinking of this, Shi Quan then spoke, "Regarding this matter, I know very little. How can I trust you based solely on your one-sided statement?"
"I will do my best to help you achieve the position of God King. Before that, I don't need any repayment from you. I only need you to achieve the position of God King, then you will naturally know whether it's true or false."
"Then what kind of repayment do you want?"
Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan with burning eyes and said, "I hope that after you achieve God King, you can help me reclaim my other Clone from the God Realm."
Gu Yuena could be said to be full of sincerity. If Gu Yuena truly helped him achieve the position of God King, with his many trump cards, he would even have the confidence to fight against the fully powered Dragon God.
It must be said, how could Shi Quan refuse such a profitable deal?
"Good."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena also showed a brilliant smile. "Shi Quan, you will never regret the choice you made today."
"Happy cooperation." Shi Quan extended a hand.
Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan's outstretched hand and paused, somewhat bewildered.
Shi Quan awkwardly retracted his hand and explained, "Sometimes, after humans reach a cooperation, they shake hands to show friendliness and wish for happy cooperation. It can also deepen mutual trust."
"Is that so?" Gu Yuena extended her hand and said, "Happy cooperation."
"Happy, happy."
Shi Quan shook her hand again. Explaining it this way felt strange, but the Gu Yuena in front of him didn't seem to feel anything.
Shi Quan let go of her hand and asked, "Where are you going next?"
Gu Yuena directly said, "I plan to follow you and experience the Human World. Moreover, with me here, your aura won't be discovered by the people of the God Realm, and I can also protect you."
"Ah?" Shi Quan scratched his head. If he took Gu Yuena back, the three girls would probably explode.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "Is there any problem?"
"Nothing." Shi Quan waved his hand. "Wait for me, I'll dig some dirt."
Digging dirt was naturally for planting immortal beans. As for the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he already had some stock in his hundred treasure pouch, and he replenished some when he came up.
"Let's go."
Shi Quan flew out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first, and Gu Yuena naturally followed closely behind.
Shi Quan planted the immortal beans from his hundred treasure pouch. Looking at the immortal beans in his hundred treasure pouch, he looked at Gu Yuena beside him and suddenly asked, "Gu Yuena, have all your injuries recovered?"
"There are still some injuries that haven't recovered, but they don't affect my strength."
"This bean might be good for your injuries, would you like to try it?" Shi Quan took out an immortal bean from his hundred treasure pouch and handed it to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena suspiciously took the immortal bean from Shi Quan's hand, examined it up and down, and then asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"This is called an immortal bean, specifically used for recovery."
Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena. He gave the immortal bean to Gu Yuena also to see where the limit of the immortal bean was.
Gu Yuena's injuries were all caused by a God King. If Gu Yuena could recover immediately after consuming it, then the practicality of the immortal bean would reach a terrifying level.
"Recovery?" Gu Yuena looked at the seemingly ordinary immortal bean in her hand with a puzzled expression. This immortal bean didn't seem to have anything special about it.
But it was Shi Quan's good intention, and she didn't want to hurt his Face, so she opened her mouth and ate it. For her, things from the Douluo World had minimal help, and it was just a bean anyway. Even if it was poisonous, it would have no effect on her, so she just ate it.
Then, as the immortal bean entered her stomach, Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly constricted violently like an earthquake.
She only felt as if all the power in her body had been activated. A small bean seemed to contain endless energy, instantly restoring all her internal injuries to their original state, including some hidden old injuries. The abundant energy immediately restored her to her Peak condition.
"Shi Quan, what exactly did you give me to eat?" Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan in shock.
Shi Quan, seeing this, also asked, "Are your injuries recovered?"
Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise, "That's right! Even the hidden injuries in my body have all recovered, and it directly brought my physical condition to its best state."
"Even Gu Yuena can recover. It's effective for at least below a first-rank God; a God King is still hard to say." Shi Quan thought to himself, but on his Face, he smiled and said, "We are partners. I naturally can't just watch you get hurt, can I?"
Gu Yuena moved slightly, then slowly said, "Thanks."
"No problem." Shi Quan waved his hand.
He didn't feel bad about it. After all, he had ten immortal beans in total, and after using one, he still had nine. Moreover, immortal beans were a renewable resource for him; since there were seeds, immortal beans could still grow. Giving one to Gu Yuena could both determine the specific effect of the immortal bean and gain Gu Yuena's goodwill. It was a win-win, not a loss at all.
Their speed was very fast. In just a quarter of an hour, they left the Sunset Forest.
Heaven Dou City.
Dugu Bo's small courtyard.
"Shi Quan is back." Dugu Bo looked towards the courtyard entrance and said with a smile to the three girls.
Upon hearing this, the three girls' eyes all lit up, and they all looked towards the courtyard entrance.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Shi Quan and Gu Yuena walked in.
Seeing Gu Yuena beside Shi Quan, the three girls' expressions all changed, and their eyes towards Gu Yuena immediately filled with hostility. The reason was simple: Gu Yuena's beauty even surpassed theirs. Seeing their beloved bring back a woman more beautiful than themselves, it would be truly problematic if there was no hostility.
Dugu Bo's first reaction to Gu Yuena's appearance was great shock. He had only sensed Shi Quan's aura, but when the door opened, two people walked in.
What did this prove?
The Gu Yuena in front of him was even stronger than him.
He couldn't see through her, no matter how he looked.
"Shi Quan, who is she?" Zhuqing asked softly, biting her lip.
Shi Quan, seeing this, quickly walked to the three girls and explained, "Don't misunderstand, she's just a friend, and I just met her."
"You just met her and you brought her back?" Zhuqing gritted her teeth and twisted the soft flesh on Shi Quan's waist.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan also glared angrily.
"Hiss." Shi Quan took a sharp breath and quickly said, "Listen to me, her background is not simple, and she has a close relationship with Di Tian, and her strength is very strong…"
"Di Tian?" The three girls' expressions gradually softened upon hearing this, but they still felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts about their beloved bringing a beautiful woman home.
"Shi Quan, since she's a friend, why don't you quickly introduce her?" Dugu Bo timely helped Shi Quan alleviate the slightly awkward atmosphere on the scene.
Shi Quan quickly introduced, "She is Gu Yuena, and also a Dragon. As for her strength, she's no weaker than Di Tian."
Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. "No weaker than Di Tian"—these five words alone already represented invincibility.
And Gu Yuena said faintly, "Di Tian is not my opponent."
The scene immediately fell silent.
"Cough, cough, cough." Shi Quan lightly coughed twice. "What she said is true."
"Gu Yuena, these three are my beloved, Ye Lingling, Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan. This is my Grandpa, Dugu Bo."
Gu Yuena nodded faintly, "Hello."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Shi Quan looked at Dugu Bo, signaling with his eyes, "Grandpa Dugu, Gu Yuena wants to stay in Heaven Dou City for a while. Don't we have empty rooms in our courtyard? Could I trouble you to help her tidy up a room and let her stay for a while? She isn't very familiar with the Human World, if there are any problems, you can speak directly to her."
"Okay." Dugu Bo smiled and shook his head. He still respected the strong very much. "Gu Yuena, please follow me."
Gu Yuena nodded and followed Dugu Bo towards the inner courtyard.
Seeing Gu Yuena leave with Dugu Bo, the three girls immediately surrounded Shi Quan.
"Shi Quan, be honest, what exactly is Gu Yuena's background?"
Shi Quan gave a wry smile. When Gu Yuena said she wanted to come back with him, he had already anticipated this scene.
He then patiently explained to the three girls.
After the three girls understood the whole story, their expressions showed a hint of worry. "Shi Quan, if what Gu Yuena said is true, then wouldn't the entire God Realm be your enemy?"
"More or less." Shi Quan nodded gently. "Gu Yuena's previous incarnation was the Dragon God, so she must know a lot about the God Realm. What she said is very likely true, but there's no need to worry, aren't you all here?"
"Once you all inherit your respective God positions, won't you be my backing? If it really doesn't work, at worst I'll just accept the God Realm's summons. Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just that Gu Yuena will probably be with us for a short period, I just hope you don't mind."
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that she's protecting you, I would have already had Grandpa Dugu kick her out." Dugu Yan said indignantly.
Shi Quan chuckled softly, "Grandpa Dugu is not her opponent, so don't make things difficult for him."
"Hmph, is that what we meant?" Zhuqing glared at Shi Quan.
Ye Lingling said faintly, "Behave yourself, don't have any crooked thoughts. We don't want another sister!"
"Understood, understood." Shi Quan replied with a flattering smile.
