Chapter 1823: Chapter 1820 - Adulated?

Even Shrek Academy could not take action against the Spirit Pagoda so easily when it was working hard to render services for all soul masters. What’s more, the Qiangu Clan had already been removed so Spirit Pagoda was considered stabilized.

“Furthermore, the Spirit Pagoda’s profits will not be reduced by much really,” Gu Yuena said tirelessly as if she was about to tell Tang Wulin about the Spirit Pagoda’s top secrets, “I’ve extended the Ten Thousand Beast Platform by channeling all the life force absorbed by the Silver Dragon Spear into it. It stabilized the plane and allowed me to expand it to almost twice its size. Naturally, the number of soul masters that it can contain simultaneously has increased as well. As a result, our profits will still grow even with the price halved if the operation is running at full capacity.”

Tang Wulin was enlightened. “I see. This is a good thing for the soul masters’ world actually. What are you trying to turn the Ten Thousand Beast Platform into really?”

Da Ming and Er Ming were living in that world. Tang Wulin once asked Er Ming about the nature of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, but Er Ming did not elaborate too much at the time. In fact, his explanation sounded a little vague.

Er Ming had looked at Tang Wulin strangely when he asked why they were willing to work together with Spirit Pagoda. His face seemed apologetic yet there was a dash of determination and persistence in him.

Gu Yuena was quiet for a moment. “You know about the Great Star Dou Forest in the past. We went there together before. The soul beasts’ habitat there has ceased to exist. I hope that I can turn the Ten Thousand Beast Platform into a new Great Star Dou Forest so that the surviving soul beasts can have a new environment to survive and thrive.”

Her voice was filled with emotions when she made the statement.

“Is this your goal? Is this also the reason you choose to remain in the Spirit Pagoda?” asked Tang Wulin.

“Hmm.”

Tang Wulin took a deep breath as if he was trying to muster the courage. “Gu Yue, I’ve been meaning to ask you this. What are you...”

“Don’t ask because I don’t want to lie to you. You will find out when the day arrives,” Gu Yuena baruotly cut in with an urgent tone.

Tang Wulin, “Which day is that?”

Gu Yuena said, “Soon, perhaps. When the day arrives, I will tell you everything.”

Tang Wulin cracked into a smile. He spoke with a determined tone, “Gu Yue, I’ll be waiting for the arrival of the day. However, remember this. Regardless of your identity and origins, in whatever way you plan your future, it must include me. I will accept you regardless. Can you understand that?”

The other end of the call went quiet. Gu Yuena stopped speaking, but Tang Wulin could sense that she was filled with waves of intense emotion on the other end.

It took a long while before Gu Yuena finally spoke, “That’s all for now. Goodbye.”

She hung up and left Tang Wulin in a daze. Her sweet voice lingered in his ears.

“Hey, you’re drooling.” A peculiar voice jolted Tang Wulin awake. He turned his head to the side instinctively and looked toward the speaker.

He saw Ling Zichen sneering and looking at him with her hands on her hips.

“Can you stop being so infatuated and mushy?” said Ling Zichen coldly.

Tang Wulin rubbed his face subconsciously. “Infatuated? Am I?”

Ling Zichen sneered once. “Are you? You are, a lot. You just began speaking on the communicator when the expression on your face became incomparably amorous. You’re quite something! I didn’t expect that the leader of the Tang Sect and Shrek was actually this type of person. That look of yours makes me feel like...”

At this point, she found that she was at a loss for words, but her emotions showed that she was exasperated.

Tang Wulin looked toward Xie Xie by his side and said in puzzlement, “She said that I’m infatuated? Am I?”

The corners of Xie Xie’s lips twitched once. “Big brother, you really are.”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. “Hmph. Let’s go. You’ve needed to improve your combat skills recently. I shall accompany you.”

“Oh! I still have to deliver the message to someone else. I shall take my leave.” With a flash of light, Xie Xie vanished into thin air.

Tang Wulin was about to explain himself to Ling Zichen when she threw a pillow at him.

He charged out of Ling Zichen’s room with a slightly dishevelled look, but he left in a good mood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It should not be an issue for him to listen to her voice frequently, at the very least. No one from the Spirit Pagoda would stop them. As for the Qiangu Clan, Tang Wulin figured that they were no longer capable of threatening her anymore. She did not need to humor them anymore. Everything was getting better. She mentioned about the awaited day. In Tang Wulin’s perception, it should be the day that they finally get to be together.

She wanted to create a Great Star Dou Forest, so he would assist her in doing so. As long as it was something she wanted to do, he would try his best to help her complete it.

...

In the Spirit Pagoda’s camp, Gu Yuena sat on her bed after hanging up the call. She was having difficulty controlling herself for a long time. Tang Wulin’s words earlier lingered in her mind all this time. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Wulin, do you know that I don’t have a future?” At this point, tears were streaming down her face without control.

“Nana, what happened to you?” a voice asked her. Gu Yuena raised her head and looked up to see Qiangu Zhangting walking into her room from the outside. She did not notice when he entered the room because she was lost in her own thoughts.

“I’m fine.” Gu Yuena shook her head.

“How can you say that you’re fine when you’re crying?” Qiangu Zhangting walked to her side in quick strides. He was about to sit down when he felt a gush of surging soul power that shoved him to the side.

“Why didn’t you knock beforehand? Who gave you the permission to enter anyway.” The expression on Gu Yuena’s face had already turned icy cold.

Qiangu Zhangting was stunned for a moment. “With our relationship, do I still need to knock?”

Gu Yuena said icily, “Leave. I don’t want to see you now.”

Qiangu Zhangting finally sensed that something was wrong. “Nana, what’s going on with you? Are you stressed because you’ve just been appointed as the Pagoda Master? It’s fine, don’t worry. Our clan will support you fully.”

Gu Yuena replied indifferently, “Leave. I don’t want to say that again. Don’t make me fight you.”

Qiangu Zhangting’s entire body shook. “Nana, you...”

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw Gu Yuena’s eyes. They looked like two silver vortices appeared in them. Qiangu Zhangting’s own eyes revealed that he was in a trance. His entire person was already enthralled.

“Leave. Go back to your room. Cultivate by yourself,” Gu Yuena commanded plainly.

“Oh.” The entranced Qiangu Zhangting answered before he turned around and left.

Murderous intent flashed past Gu Yuena’s eyes for a moment as she watched him leave. It was only because it was not yet time for her to make a move, that she did kill the man that tried to rape her in the past.

“Di Tian, come to me.” She muttered to herself.

In the space of a few breaths, there was a flash of duskgold radiance, and a figure appeared standing before her. It seemed to be a handsome middle-aged man, but the name Gu Yuena had called out was the name of the most powerful soul beast. He was known as the Beast God!

“Your Highness.” Di Tian bowed and saluted Gu Yuena respectfully.

“How is the situation at the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?” asked Gu Yuena coldly.

Di Tian’s eyes were glowing with excitement that could not be concealed. “The situation is going extremely well. The effect is far better than we have expected. The entire Ten Thousand Beast Platform has expanded to twice its size. Moreover, it is exceedingly stable. We have already begun to transport those remaining soul beast clans that were close to extinction. We are nurturing new genes over here. I can’t help but say that we have already regenerated some of the completely extinct clans using Spirit Pagoda’s spirit soul-nurturing techniques with the genes we had stored.”

At this point, his eyes were filled with emotion.
