“Brother Ningliu, he…”
Xiao Wu, holding the restored ancient trident, asked softly.
"He went home to be with his wife."
Ning Liu answered casually, then turned around and looked at the silent silver figure.
He didn't say much, just shrugged, with an expression that said, "You see, that's how it is."
Actions speak louder than any explanation.
He persuaded a top god of the divine realm to "retire" in front of Gu Yuena, which in itself was the best pledge of loyalty.
Gu Yuena's silver eyes gazed silently at Ning Liu.
She noticed.
This human is definitely not a lackey of the gods.
He wasn't simply using himself.
After all, why go through all this trouble if you just want to use yourself?
"I see."
Gu Yuena spoke, her voice cool and clear, yet it already carried a hint of candor between allies.
What do you need me to do?
She didn't ask Ning Liu about his background, nor did she ask him why he was able to produce the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus.
None of these matters.
Importantly, he gave the Soul Beast race a chance.
"The Soul Beast race is in a difficult situation."
She didn't wait for Ning Liu's reply, but continued, her voice carrying a hint of heaviness.
"The suppression of the laws of the divine realm prevents us from becoming gods. Over the years, countless exceptionally talented members of our clan have ultimately turned into dust before their ten-thousand-year limit."
"The Star Dou Great Forest may appear prosperous, but it is actually a candle flickering in the wind. Without the birth of new god-level powerhouses, there will be no powerful bloodline to continue its legacy!"
"It's unrealistic to simply expect bloodline mutations and reversion to ancestral traits to occur during the generational transmission of soul beasts!"
"We will eventually be devoured by human soul masters."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian lowered his enormous dragon head, his golden pupils filled with sorrow.
What the Lord said is true.
This is why he harbors such deep-seated hatred for humanity.
"I see."
Ning Liu nodded.
He looked at Gu Yuena and pondered for a moment:
"Your condition has just recovered. Although your soul is stable, the recovery of your divine power is not something that can be accomplished overnight. There's no rush to overturn the chessboard."
Gu Yuena remained silent.
Ning Liu was telling the truth.
"but,"
Ning Liu changed the subject, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"While you are slowly recovering, I have a little thing on hand that might help improve the quality of life for the soul beast race."
He paused, then added:
"Could this be considered... a small experiment?"
"Things? Experiments?"
Gu Yuena looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Di Tian also pricked up his ears.
This human always manages to come up with something astonishing; he'd like to see what it is this time.
Ning Liu didn't keep anyone in suspense. He ran his hand across the Spiritual Star Ring, and a flash of light appeared.
The next moment, a long, rectangular, incredibly soft and comfortable-looking life-size body pillow appeared in his hands.
"..."
The space fell into an eerie silence once again.
Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes were fixed on the pillow.
What is that thing?
It's white, soft, and embroidered with a cartoon figure in gold thread.
The little figure was wearing a comical nightcap, with its eyes closed and drool dripping from its mouth. It was fast asleep, hugging a small pillow, with a few "Zzz" characters floating beside it. It looked adorable, even a little... stupid.
Ditian's Dragon Brain has crashed for the second time.
He had imagined what kind of peerless immortal herbs, divine weapons, or even another divine lotus Ning Liu would bring out.
But to his utter surprise, what the other party solemnly presented was... a cushion?
Is this the little thing you were talking about that can improve the quality of life for the soul beast race?
Are you insulting our Soul Beast race?!
A surge of anger almost ignited in Di Tian's chest again.
Even Gu Yuena's cool and beautiful face froze for a moment.
She stared at the cushion that seemed completely out of place with the somber atmosphere, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
"Don't let its cute appearance fool you,"
Ning Liu seemed oblivious to their expressions, instead patting the cushion in his arms with great interest and introducing it,
"This is a real gem."
He cleared his throat and began to recite in a salesman's tone.
"This is the snoring pillow of the sleeping god!"
The sleeping god?
Both Di Tian and Gu Yuena were taken aback.
Does this deity exist in the divine realm?
There seems to be a vague impression in ancient memories.
"This item is a heirloom."
"Effect 1: Calming. Holding this pillow while sleeping can instantly induce deep sleep, improve sleep quality by 1000%, and increase mental energy recovery speed by 500%."
boom!
Upon hearing this effect, Di Tian's dragon body trembled violently.
Sleep quality improved tenfold? Mental energy recovery speed increased fivefold?!
What does this mean?
For soul beasts, especially powerful ones, sleep is an important way to recover from injuries, refine their spirit, and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.
Many soul beasts sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years at a time.
If this efficiency could be increased several times over, it would mean... a terrifying increase in cultivation speed!
A sharp light suddenly shone in Gu Yuena's silver eyes.
She immediately understood the value of this thing.
For the soul beast race, which generally lacks sophisticated methods for cultivating spiritual power, this is simply a divine gift from heaven!
