Chapter 378 Ye Fox Wants to Understand His Master
"This is what you call a bedtime story?" Gu Yuena asked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Sitting opposite him, Ye Nanxiao was setting up a rack with a pile of wood, and there was a lot of roasted meat on the rack.
Di Tian squatted in front of the wooden barbecue grill, his brows slightly furrowed, trying to understand what Ye Nanxiao was doing.
"Damn, why is this pile of wood so hard to light? Where did you find the wood?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
He tried at least five different ways to start a fire, but the pile of wood remained completely unharmed.
"You said you wanted to find some good wood, so I specially went to the Yuntong Forest to find some wood," Di Tian replied earnestly.
"Alright, it is indeed very good wood, but it can't be lit with ordinary fire." Ye Nanxiao clapped his hands and stood up.
The paulownia wood is a treasure trove for wood-attribute soul masters; it's a wonderful thing, but it's not suitable for starting a fire.
"Light a fire? If you want fire, just say so!" Di Tian opened his hand, and a ball of black flame appeared in his hand, scorching the surrounding space.
Ye Nanxiao instantly retreated into the Spirit Blooming Grass, fanning the grass leaves as he said, "Quickly put it away! That thing of yours is too hot!"
She had finally managed to recover some of her soul power through the nourishment of the Spirit Blossom Grass, which allowed her to temporarily materialize. She couldn't let this fool in front of her burn it all away.
"Oh, you should have said so earlier." Di Tian put away the black flame in his palm and said in a serious tone.
Ye Nanxiao: (⊙…⊙)
What's wrong, Di Tian? You're acting like a fool.
Was his later majesty only revealed after experiencing the impact of worldly affairs?
What about Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King who commands respect and suppresses all directions?
Where are your once-dominant golden dragon eyes? They're now filled with question marks.
Ye Nanxiao sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
Sitting by the lake watching the dragon and the grass playfully fighting, Gu Yuena flicked her finger, and a flame instantly landed on the Yuntong wood, igniting the wooden frame.
"The fire burns just right, perfectly controlled within the grilling area without affecting the other wood. What amazing control! So precise!" Ye Nanxiao patted the grass leaves, his mouth constantly uttering words of praise.
Listening to Ye Nanxiao spewing words like a machine gun, Gu Yuena silently withdrew her gaze, ignoring Ye Nanxiao, but her irritable mood did indeed improve somewhat.
Di Tian was somewhat helpless. He had put away all his arrogance in front of Gu Yuena. Besides, how was he supposed to know that Ye Nanxiao wanted to grill meat?
Why would a soul like you eat barbecue?!
However, Di Tian's gaze soon became fixed on the roasted chicken on the wooden rack.
Golden crispy skin, tender meat locking in the juices.
He had eaten many good things when he was under the Dragon God's throne, but those things were all aimed at improving cultivation and physique, and did not pay attention to taste. Not to mention that now he and Gu Yuena had been expelled from the God Realm, and he relied entirely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Why is this thing so tempting? Why is the aroma so strong?" Di Tian asked.
"This is something I spent countless days and nights researching and developing to win over my little rabbit, so it has to smell amazing!" Ye Nanxiao said proudly.
"However, can you eat a soul?" Di Tian glanced at Ye Nanxiao's body.
Although it is now in physical form, the energy connection of the Blooming Spirit Flower is still with Ye Nanxiao.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao showed no embarrassment whatsoever; his original intention was not to grill it for himself.
Before bedtime stories, let's start by watching some mukbang videos of people's daily lives.
He didn't have any other intentions; he just wanted to seduce the person who was about to go to sleep.
"Here, have some." Ye Nanxiao said to Di Tian.
"Give it to me, but what about my lord?"
"She is a spiritual embodiment. Since she can't eat it, I'll bake it for her to see, so she can have a good dream."
"."
Gu Yuena's mood, which had just begun to improve, suddenly vanished.
"Di Tian!" Gu Yuena suddenly called out.
"I am here, Your Majesty!" Di Tian instantly stood at attention, his expression solemn.
"Eat your fill. The strategist thinks highly of you, and surely he wouldn't want his general to go hungry, would he?" Gu Yuena looked at Ye Nanxiao with a half-smile.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that his "Wishing you sweet dreams" food exploration plan seemed to have fallen through.
Feeling Di Tian's gaze on him, and Gu Yuena's occasional glances at the Spirit Blossom Grass, Ye Nanxiao suddenly wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to provoke the Silver Dragon?
Dragons are known for holding grudges!
"Of course, it's good," Ye Nanxiao said, forcing a smile.
Di Tian smiled broadly at Ye Nanxiao, his face as warm as a spring breeze.
Ye Nanxiao compared Di Tian's height to his own and realized that even if he broke his arm, he might not be able to feed a dragon to its full capacity.
After a full hour of praising him, Gu Yuena finally got Ye Nanxiao to stop.
Upon gaining his freedom, Ye Nanxiao instantly transformed into a ray of spiritual light and disappeared back into the Spirit Blossom Grass.
He swore he would never return as a spirit unless absolutely necessary.
Di Tian touched his belly with a hint of regret, seemingly still wanting more.
He didn't feel full at all.
After cleaning up the scene, Di Tian left with a pile of debris. He was going to set rules for Xiong Jun and the other beasts. Since they had joined his team, they were now his soldiers.
Gu Yuena continued to gaze quietly at the sky, the stars, large and small, reflected in her pale purple eyes, shining brightly.
"military adviser."
"what?"
The wilted Spirit Grass struggled to move its blade.
"What is your opinion of the current state of the divine realm?" Gu Yuena asked.
Ye Nanxiao was slightly taken aback, then touched his chin, but found nothing; the Spirit Blossom Grass didn't have a chin.
After rubbing his hands together, Ye Nanxiao replied, "The God Realm is responsible for the order of heaven and earth in each world and maintaining the operation between worlds."
"I'm asking for your opinion, not for you to recite the duties of the gods." Gu Yuena turned to look at the Spirit Blossom Grass.
Ye Nanxiao emerged from the Spirit Blossom Grass and floated above it.
"The realm of gods is a transcendence for mortals, but also a new bondage."
Ye Nanxiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky.
"I don't know what the God Realm means to you, and I'm not qualified to discuss the current state of the God Realm. You asked for my opinion on the God Realm, but I think you're asking for my opinion on the current ruler of the God Realm, right?" Ye Nanxiao said.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
"No matter what kind of living being it is, once it is born, it will have emotions, and with emotions come selfish desires. In this world, in this universe, there is no completely selfless being. Therefore, the war between you is nothing more than a struggle for interests."
"The existence of war is all due to the catalyst of interests. In my understanding, of the five important figures, one couple does not care about anything, another couple values the divine realm more than themselves, and the remaining one may want to protect it, but the order is ultimately under his control, and there is no such thing as selflessness."
"In any case, repaying hatred with hatred, repaying kindness with kindness, and repaying injustice with justice has always been the simplest principle of conduct."
As Ye Nanxiao spoke, he shrugged. Because of interests, Yuan Haisan also regarded him as an anomaly.
Gu Yuena remained silent. Her purpose in being born was revenge; right or wrong was not important to her.
"By the way, do you know the Ice Goddess? Are you close to her?" Ye Nanxiao asked. The Ice Goddess gave him the Frozen Flower, which was equivalent to her being his mentor.
"We're not exactly acquaintances, we've only chatted for a few hundred years," Gu Yuena said casually.
Several hundred more years passed.
Ye Nanxiao clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected, the gods in the divine realm were almost eternal beings.
"Could you tell me what kind of person the Ice God is?" Ye Nanxiao asked. He didn't know much about the Ice God, and half of the times they met were because he messed things up and the Ice God had to clean up his mess.
"The Ice God is a rather peculiar deity in the divine realm."
Mentioning the Ice God, Gu Yuena's originally expressionless face suddenly showed a faint smile.
"After the Dragon God War, the divine realm suffered heavy losses. Almost all the gods developed great hatred and resentment towards the divine beasts. The committee of the divine realm even issued the most cruel divine punishment in history, prohibiting all beasts in all worlds from becoming gods, in order to control the number of divine beasts."
"As long as the divine beasts obey, their numbers will neither increase nor decrease, just like domesticated livestock."
As she spoke, anger surged in Gu Yuena's eyes. She was one of the incarnations of the Dragon God, and the Dragon God's people were her people.
Which ruler wouldn't be furious if his people were treated like this?
"All the gods spontaneously abide by the unspoken rule of ignoring divine beasts. Even the goddess of fate, who is usually indifferent to worldly affairs, has no choice but to follow the crowd and ignore divine beasts. However, the Ice Goddess is the only exception. This woman not only does not ignore divine beasts, but also lends a helping hand to them, opening the Ice God Realm to connect with the Beast Realm. As long as you abide by the rules of the Ice God Realm, you are a guest of the Ice God Realm."
As she spoke, the faint smile returned to Gu Yuena's face.
"This woman is not only powerful, but her heart is also as clear as a crystal. It is thanks to her that the divine beasts have another place to shelter them from the wind and rain, besides the beast realm."
"Even when the second-generation Asura God and the God of Destruction jointly warned her and sent deities to block the entrance of the Ice God Realm to demonstrate, this woman ignored them and continued to act on her own."
"But the Ice God is not a good-tempered person, but one who will never suffer a loss. Later, the gods who blocked the Ice God Realm were all turned into ice sculptures by the Ice God and sent to the Ice God Realm prison, which was originally the prison of the gods."
"It wasn't until later, when the God of Emotions was also sent to prison to reflect on his actions, that the Second Generation Asura God could no longer sit still and went to visit him personally, but in the end, he returned empty-handed."
"Even the Asura God returned empty-handed?" Ye Nanxiao asked. Was his master really that powerful?
Gu Yuena's smile grew even more captivating as she nodded, "Yes, the Ice God is incredibly powerful, having existed for far longer than the second-generation Asura God. Furthermore, due to his age-old service guarding the divine realm's prison, he is on par with the God-King. Dealing with a junior deity would naturally require very little effort!"
"If they are so powerful, why are they still guarding the prison?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly wondered.
Most gods are constantly searching for successors to pass on their divine positions and then travel to space to see a wider world. Few gods are willing to stay in the divine realm forever.
Have you not seen how the two god-kings, one good and one evil, reincarnated ten times, enduring countless hardships and experiencing the trials of the mortal world, yet still refused to return to the divine realm to wield power?
"Because there are quite a few Ice God's wives, she has to wait for everyone to leave together." Gu Yuena turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, a meaningful smile on her face.
"??"
Ye Nanxiao silently rubbed his ears. What did he hear?
