I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Xu Xingyu really didn't know what to say to Gu Yuena's embarrassed explanation. He really wanted to say that she was just a child and that children's words are innocent.

However, Xu Xingyu understood that such an excuse could easily breed unruly children. Although Bai Xiuxiu had always behaved very well, it was still not a good idea to use such a reason to help the other party escape danger.

However, considering that this was mostly Gu Yuena's fault, he finally said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Nana, don't be so petty next time. Xiuxiu is still young and has no experience with human emotions, so please give in a little."

Gu Yuena knew that Xu Xingyu didn't blame her for what she said, but she was also very clear in her heart that she might have gone a bit too far in bullying her.

But there was no way around it. At first, Gu Yuena only wanted to tease Bai Xiuxiu a little by pinching her cheeks as punishment, but she got a little addicted to it and really didn't want to let go of Bai Xiuxiu's chubby little face.

This is the reason why Gu Yuena has been obsessed with pinching Bai Xiuxiu's cheeks, a fact she would never admit to anyone.

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu, who had been clinging to Xu Xingyu's leg, spoke up: "So why did Teacher Nana suddenly pinch my cheek?"

Both Xu Xingyu and Gu Yun knew the answer to this question, but they really didn't know how to explain it to a naive and innocent child like Bai Xiuxiu who didn't understand social etiquette.

In the end, Xu Xingyu cleaned up the mess, saying, "Xiuxiu, sometimes you should observe the emotions of those around you before expressing your thoughts, otherwise you'll suffer sooner or later."

"But Xiuxiu didn't say anything wrong, did she?" Bai Xiuxiu looked at Xu Xingyu with a puzzled expression.

Bai Xiuxiu didn't know what the aura on Xu Xingyu that surpassed that of the Sea God was, but it must be a god-level power. Therefore, Xu Xingyu was destined to become a god, and Wang Dong'er, after becoming the successor of the Sea God, was also destined to become a god.

Considering that Xu Xingyu and Wang Dong'er are engaged, isn't it normal to say that they are the most compatible couple?

The reason for this thinking is that although Gu Yuena has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Xu Xingyu and is even deeply loved by Xu Xingyu, in Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, who is unaware of Gu Yuena's identity as the Lord of Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena has no way to become a god.

Therefore, according to the principle that the best male in the world of soul beasts must be paired with the best female, Wang Dong'er is a better match than Gu Yuena.

Of course, another reason is that in Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, the Sea God is the most supreme being, so even if she knows that Gu Yun is a Soul Beast Princess, she will still be below the Sea God in her heart.

And isn't it the duty of believers to support the love of the next sea god?

Faced with such a stubborn Bai Xiuxiu, Xu Xingyu could only change the subject before she said anything that might provoke Gu Yuena.

Xu Xingyu suddenly pulled Bai Xiuxiu into her arms and said, "Alright, Xiuxiu, let's leave this matter here for now. Let's discuss your future cultivation."

After saying that, Xu Xingyu found a seat and asked Bai Xiuxiu to find a comfortable spot to sit on her lap.

This action made Gu Yuena, who was already in a bad mood, even worse. Xu Xingyu could only use his mental power to tell her that he would make it up to her that night, which made Gu Yuena feel a little better.

After calming Gu Yun down, Xu Xingyu asked, "Have you prepared the things Na'er asked you to prepare before?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena took out an ice-blue sphere from her storage ring. The moment the sphere appeared in the room, the temperature dropped instantly.

Large amounts of water and ice elements began to spread throughout the room, and it was at this moment that the sphere began to emit deep dragon roars.

This sphere is the Ice Dragon King's Dragon Pill that Xu Xingyu obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

The moment Xu Xingyu saw the Ice Dragon King's Dragon Core, she took it from Gu Yuena's hand and looked at the patterns on it, saying, "Na'er, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Xingyu suddenly handed the dragon pill in her hand to Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, take some time to eat this and then refine the energy inside. This will be of great benefit to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu immediately accepted the Dragon Pill, and after observing it for a while, she asked, "Is it really appropriate for Brother Xingyu to give me such a treasure? I feel like I can't absorb it at all right now."

It's no wonder Bai Xiuxiu had such a question. With the insights of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, she could naturally tell that this was the inner core left behind by a soul beast after its death, and judging from the dragon roar coming from it, it was related to the dragon race, the noblest of the soul beast species.

What amazed Bai Xiuxiu even more was that the energy contained in this dragon pill not only far exceeded that of herself before she took human form, but also surpassed that of her own mother, a ferocious beast!

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Bai Xiuxiu to think that she cannot absorb it, after all, she is just a nobody with a soul power of more than ten levels.

However, Xu Xingyu stopped and said, "Don't worry, do you see the patterns on the Dragon Pill? This is a seal that your teacher placed on it. So the energy you absorb after swallowing it will only be the energy that you can withstand at this stage. You can refine the remaining energy in the Dragon Pill after your cultivation level improves."

These words did not completely dispel Bai Xiuxiu's doubts, so she looked at Xu Xingyu and asked, "Brother Xingyu, why did you give Xiuxiu something so precious? Although I am very grateful to Brother Xingyu and Teacher Nana for their help during this time, I don't think I deserve something so precious right now, do I?"

Xu Xingyu smiled without saying a word and said, "Consider this a gift from me, your senior brother, and Na'er, your teacher. If you really want to repay us later, we can do so after you've become stronger, okay?"

"Yes! Xiuxiu will definitely not let Brother Xingyu and Teacher Nana down!"

After saying that, Bai Xiuxiu took the Dragon Pill and, with Xu Xingyu's help, went to a cultivation room next door. Under Xu Xingyu's guidance, she began to consume the power within the Dragon Pill.

Although Bai Xiuxiu still doesn't quite understand why Xu Xingyu insisted on giving her the Dragon Pill, she knows that she has been taken care of by him during this time. So, since Xu Xingyu would give her this, he must need something from her in the future.

So what I can do now is to accept their kindness and repay them when I am strong enough.
