Douluo: After Bibi Dong's abuse, Gu Yuena takes care of her

Meanwhile, Da Ming and Er Ming watched this change unfold.

The massive snake body of the Ming Dynasty slowly sank into the lake, leaving only its island-like head and a small section of its neck exposed.

His amber-colored vertical pupils stared unblinkingly at the lake before him, a lake that seemed to have been given a second life.

The lake water was no longer a simple deep emerald color, but rather flowed with seven-colored rays of light, and the several huge, pure white lotus flowers in the center of the lake emitted a soft halo and a refreshing fragrance.

Just breathing in the air here makes me feel all my ailments disappear and my soul energy become vibrant.

Erming didn't go into the water; it squatted on the lake shore, its thick, pillar-like arms supporting it on the ground, its large, bell-like eyes filled with awe.

It even stretched out its enormous finger and carefully touched a strange little grass that had just sprouted on the shore, emitting a pale blue halo, feeling the abundant water element energy within it.

The two kings of the forests were now filled with turbulent emotions.

They originally thought that the "Soul Tower" and those new rules proposed by Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena were more of an idealistic concept, and might even have been a kind of arbitrary bestowal by the powerful.

But the earth-shaking miracle before their eyes truly told them—those two were serious!
They truly want to fundamentally change the landscape of this continent, and they possess the terrifying power to achieve it!
"Big brother..." Erming began in a muffled voice, trembling slightly with excitement. He withdrew his finger and looked at Daming in the water.
"This...this is simply...a miracle! The power of the Silver Dragon King...and that Thousand Blades of Sorrow..."

Da Ming slowly exhaled a breath filled with thick moisture, his voice low and complex:
"Yes... a miracle. They... have reached heights beyond our comprehension. Change is not just empty talk."

Its enormous serpentine eyes turned toward the direction where Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena had disappeared, its gaze filled with indescribable emotions.

"Do you still remember..." Da Ming's tone carried a distant recollection, "Back then, what that blond boy looked like when he first ventured into the Lake of Life?"
So small, covered in wounds, its eyes filled with wariness and stubbornness, like a little beast with nowhere to run but refusing to give in. Erming scratched his head with his paw, making a rustling sound, and mumbled:

“I remember… how could I not remember? Back then he was very weak, even a hundred-year-old soul beast could chase him all over the place. It was the Silver Dragon King who brought him back.”

"Yes..." Da Ming's voice was filled with endless sighs.
"Who would have thought that the little guy we used to have to watch out for to avoid being accidentally killed by other guys in the forest has now become a being comparable to a god, capable of reshaping mountains and rivers with a wave of his hand."

In its words, besides感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion), there was also a faint hint of regret that it itself was unaware of.

“If back then… we could have forged a deeper bond with him… perhaps…” Da Ming didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

If back then, Di Tian, ​​Chi Wang, Bi Ji, and even themselves, had shown more goodwill towards that boy, instead of merely tolerating and providing limited guidance out of respect for the Silver Dragon King, would these overlords of soul beasts today have been able to glimpse an opportunity to break through their own limitations and reach a higher level through that friendship?

Once this thought arises, it entwines around my heart like a vine, bringing a dull ache.

Erming also fell silent. Although it was not as perceptive as Daming, it understood the unspoken meaning in its elder brother's words.

A hint of annoyance and regret flashed in its large eyes.

However, this glimmer of regret was quickly shattered by a heavier reality.
