"Give... give them away!"
Di Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he then snapped his gaze toward Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan was the only outsider here; Di Tian couldn't think of anyone else she could possibly mean to give them to.
Not just him, but the expressions of the other Great Vicious Beasts were also indescribably strange.
As everyone knew, Spirit Bones were items dropped after a Spirit Beast died, and the drop rate was extremely low.
Even ten thousand Spirit Beasts might not necessarily drop a single Spirit Bone.
Although Spirit Bones were useless to Spirit Beasts themselves, they held extraordinary significance.
Yet now, the Co-lord of Spirit Beasts wanted to give Spirit Bones to a human.
Wasn't this aiding the enemy?
Yang Yuan hadn't even proposed this condition when he arrived!
Di Tian frowned immediately and said, "Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, was this your idea? This wasn't among the conditions we agreed upon earlier!"
Before Yang Yuan could speak, Gu Yuena stepped forward to defend him, saying, "This has nothing to do with Yang Yuan. It was my idea."
Di Tian was even more astonished.
He looked at Gu Yuena again, his brow furrowed, thinking to himself,'Something's not right. My Lord wouldn't do this on a whim; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.'
At that moment, Gu Yuena continued, "With Yang Yuan's help, the injuries on my body can be fully healed within ten years."
"Ten years!"
The group of Vicious Beasts cried out in shock upon hearing this.
They all knew how severe Gu Yuena's injuries were; countless eons of recuperation had hardly made a dent in them.
Although Yang Yuan had vowed he could heal her, the Vicious Beasts hadn't actually harbored much hope. As long as he could slow the progression of her injuries, it would be considered a success.
After all, Gu Yuena's injuries were left by the Asura God. Even if Yang Yuan had some tricks up his sleeve, he was, in the end, just a Mortal.
Di Tian said in a low voice, "My Lord, is this true?"
Gu Yuena said indifferently, "Yang Yuan has already treated me twice, and my injuries are much better now."
The Vicious Beasts immediately became excited, especially Di Tian, who was beyond thrilled.
In his eyes, the Lord was the last hope for the Spirit Beast race.
As long as she recovered, she would one day lead the Spirit Beasts to counterattack the God Realm.
At the same time, Di Tian thought, 'The Lord is indeed far-sighted. The reason she's willing to give Yang YuanSpirit Bones must be because she's afraid he won't put in his full effort. Her insight into the human heart is truly beyond my reach.'
Thinking of this, Di Tian's gaze toward Gu Yuena became even more respectful. He said deeply, "My Lord, your subordinate shall go and retrieve the collected Spirit Bones at once."
After saying that, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.
A few breaths later, Di Tian reappeared. With a wave of his hand, a dazzling array of colorful Spirit Bones flew out from his grasp.
The Star Dou Great Forest's collection spanned countless millennia. Just the ones he brought out numbered no less than a hundred, and not a single one was below the ten-thousand-year rank.
This scene was quite spectacular, and even Yang Yuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
ten-thousand-year spirit bones that Titled Douluo in the outside world would kill for were being handled like wholesale goods by Di Tian.
Seeing Yang Yuan's expression, Di Tian said with a proud look, "Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, I don't even collect Spirit Bones below the ten-thousand-year rank. Take a look and see which ones you want."
Just as Yang Yuan was about to step forward and pick them out one by one for his friends and family, Gu Yuena made a grand gesture and spoke again.
"No need to choose. Since these Spirit Bones are useless to us anyway, just give them all to Yang Yuan."
Di Tian's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but think:
'Could there be a deeper meaning behind this move of the Lord's as well? It can't be that she's just making things up as she goes, right?'
One must know that among these hundred or so Spirit Bones, there was no shortage of hundred thousand year spirit bones!
However, Di Tian trusted his Lord unconditionally.
Thus, he also said generously, "Since the Lord has spoken, Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, please accept these Spirit Bones."
Yang Yuan naturally wouldn't be polite. He cupped his fists and smiled, "Then I shall accept them with gratitude."
With that, he reached out and swept the hundred-odd Spirit Bones into his storage.
After doing all this, he laughed heartily and said, "I won't take advantage of you. Since I've taken your collection of Spirit Bones, I'll consider it a favor I owe you."
"A favor from me... is worth much more than these Spirit Bones."
Hearing this, Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena with a sudden realization, thinking, 'My Lord, so this was your goal all along? I understand now!'
Yang Yuan was comparable to a god at such a young age, and his strength was unfathomable. It was a foregone conclusion that he would become a god in the future.
And he definitely wouldn't be an ordinary god.
If they could make him owe them a favor, it would be purely beneficial for the Spirit Beast race.
Compared to a favor from Yang Yuan, what did a few mere Spirit Bones matter?
Gu Yuena noticed Di Tian's frequent glances and was confused, thinking, 'What's wrong with Di Tian? What is he thinking about?'
However, she didn't care much and announced in front of everyone, "Di Tian."
"Your subordinate is here!" Di Tian said hurriedly, bowing down.
"I intend to leave the Star Dou Great Forest with Yang Yuan for a while. Until I return, you shall be in charge here."
The expressions of Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts changed drastically.
"My Lord, this must not be! If your existence is detected by the gods, I fear disaster will befall us!" Di Tian urged.
Gu Yuena said calmly, "It's fine. Yang Yuan has his own ways to deceive the gods."
Di Tian frowned but still said deeply, "My Lord, it's not that I don't trust Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, but better safe than sorry. I hope you will reconsider."
"Enough, my mind is made up!"
Gu Yuena's voice was cold, carrying a hint of finality that brooked no argument.
Hearing this, Di Tian had no choice but to comply.
A short while later.
Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the Titan Giant Ape returned from playing outside and saw Yang Yuan as soon as they arrived.
Xiao Wu and Ah Yin's eyes lit up, and they both ran forward.
"Boss, you're out!" Xiao Wu said in surprise.
Having not seen Yang Yuan for a while, she actually missed him a bit.
Ah Yin was even closer to Yang Yuan; she ran up and directly hugged his arm with an affectionate expression.
If there hadn't been outsiders present, she likely would have already called out "Daddy."
Di Tian watched this scene from the side, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
"My Lord," Di Tian immediately called out to Gu Yuena.
"What is it?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Your subordinate has an important matter to discuss with you."
Seeing Di Tian's serious expression, Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
A moment later, Gu Yuena and Di Tian arrived inside the Crystal Palace.
Gu Yuena asked, "What's the matter?"
Di Tian said deeply, "My Lord, perhaps I have a way to deepen the connection between Your ExcellencyYang Yuan and our Spirit Beast race."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up.
No one knew Yang Yuan's potential better than she did.
She hurriedly asked, "What way?"
Di Tian smiled and said, "My Lord, if someone from our Spirit Beast race were to marry and have children with Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, wouldn't that deepen the relationship between him and our race?"
Gu Yuena heard this and immediately felt it made some sense.
But then she thought, 'Among the Spirit Beast race, who is worthy of Yang Yuan?'
After thinking it over, Gu Yuena realized something.
Looking at the entire Spirit Beast race, it seemed she herself was the most suitable one!
This was going to be difficult!
