After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuena finally calmed herself down, then raised her head and looked at Xu Xingyu with her red-rimmed eyes, saying, "Welcome back."

Xu Xingyu could only respond with a wry smile and a guilty expression, "Yes, I'm back! I'm sorry I made you worry."

Although he and Gu Yuena were in love before, it was their first relationship, so he never fully understood how much he meant to her. As a result, Xu Xingyu sometimes had a feeling that things weren't really real.

However, Gu Yuena's emotional outburst this time also made him realize that his position in her heart was already irreplaceable. Even if a Tang Wulin appeared in this era, Gu Yuena would never pay attention to him. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena had engaged in sexual intercourse, which is a special feat for girls. It would be strange if they did it without a special place in each other's hearts, right? (Except for the kind of coercion).

It seems I've stayed in the Primordial Realm for too long. Once I entered the Primordial Realm, I wouldn't have any doubts about this, and I would wholeheartedly believe that Gu Yuena would always stand by my side.

However, it's impossible to maintain that profit-driven personality for billions of years. It would be a lie to say that it wouldn't have any impact on the original personality. It seems that the best thing to do is to digest those memories as soon as possible so that they won't continue to affect you.

Just as Xu Xingyu was lost in thought, a cough interrupted his train of thought. Buyer, hands on her hips, said, "Mom and Dad, I know you haven't seen each other in a long time, but could you please consider the others who are still here?"

Faced with their daughter's disgruntled expression, as if she had "had enough of this dog food," Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena felt somewhat awkward. After all, she was their adopted daughter, and it wouldn't do to keep ignoring her like this.

After they had sorted out their thoughts, Xu Xingyu asked Gu Yuena, "By the way, did anything happen while I was gone?"

"Well, if we exclude the fact that you were trapped in the Primordial Realm and nothing particularly serious happened," Gu Yuena said after some thought. "For the past six months, I've publicly stated that you entered a state of deep meditation, so no one else sent anyone to look for you during that time. The only girls who did go to see you, although I didn't tell them about the Primordial Realm, still felt something was off. Especially Wang Dong'er, because of her connection with you through the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, she could vaguely sense your state. She didn't doubt your cultivation, but based on her connection with you, she still felt that you weren't doing particularly well, so she always asked me about your condition. I could only try to gloss over it. Now that you're out, you can explain this to them yourself. I think you've kept those things from them long enough, so you can trust them a little."

"Yes, I'll give this matter a lot of thought." Xu Xingyu nodded and said, "So, how's their progress in the divine examination and cultivation? They haven't fallen behind because I wasn't there, have they?"

"If you're asking about Wang Dong'er and the others, I can only tell you that they've been cultivating very hard lately. Although everyone except Gu Qiuxi, who hasn't taken the test yet, is still stuck on the first test of the Divine Exam, the first test is more like a training ground than a postgraduate entrance exam. So even if they could pass it quickly, they didn't immediately pass the test in order to lay a better foundation."

"Among them, Wang Dong'er has reached level 54 Soul King, Jiang Nannan is level 59 Soul King, Xu Yanxue is level 51 Soul King, Ma Xiaotao is level 75 Soul Saint, and Xu Jiujiu has just reached level 70 and is currently absorbing Soul Rings from Soul Spirits to give her her seventh ring."

"How is Gu Qiuxi doing? Has her comprehension of the Void Godhood caused her to fall behind in her cultivation? Also, has the Golden Dragon King's bloodline been acting up during this time?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena shook her head and said, "The Golden Dragon King's bloodline has been quite stable for the past six months. As for the blank divine position, I've instructed Gu Qiuxi to focus her energy on cultivating and refining the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. After all, unlike other divine positions, the blank divine position doesn't have any assessment; all that's required is to imprint the laws you've learned onto it. So, things like refining the blank divine position should wait until she reaches the Limit Douluo level!"

"The only problem is that Gu Qiuxi has always been slightly dissatisfied with her cultivation progress. Although her cultivation speed is considered relatively fast by Shrek Academy standards, after all, she is already a level 48 Soul Master and there are no rivals among the outer court students. However, compared with the other girls who have been given divine trials by you, her cultivation speed is still much slower."

"Don't be fooled by her rarely putting on airs in front of you and always acting like she's at your beck and call. At Shrek Academy, she's not only known as the Golden Dragon Princess, but also has titles like the Queen Who Is Absolutely Untouchable. Any boy who dares to get close to her will be beaten to a pulp and sent to the hospital."

"That's really impressive." Recalling Gu Qiuxi's personality as Wang Qiu'er in the original work, she wasn't this domineering, was she? In my impression, she was a strong, queen-like character, but she wouldn't have such a germaphobia, would she? Or is it simply because she looks down on those who are not as good as her?

It's normal for Gu Qiuxi, as an imperial auspicious beast, to look down on humans from the bottom of her heart, because imperial auspicious beasts are beings bestowed with fortune, living darlings of destiny, born nobler than most species.

As the first imperial auspicious beast of the ancient dragon race, the Starry Dragon Emperor has the right to speak on this point.

I feel she's become a bit too arrogant. I guess I need to find some time to properly discipline, cough cough, teach this somewhat conceited younger sister a lesson.

Before that, however, he wanted to confirm the topic Xu Xingyu was most concerned about. He turned to Gu Yuena and asked, "How's it going at Dragon Valley? Did they break the seal while I was cultivating?"

Gu Yuena shrugged and said, "When I went to investigate last week, it was still sealed, so it's most likely still sealed now. If you want to unseal it, you'll probably have to go there in person."

"Okay, let's rest for a while and let me get used to my current physical condition before we rush the team to set off. It's safer to get the things in Dragon Valley this morning."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly said quietly, as if she had thought of something, "Speaking of which, you made me worry about you for half a year, aren't you going to give me any compensation?"

"Compensation? What do you want? Wait, Na'er, where are you moving?! Don't pull my clothes!"

"Be good, okay? Let me enjoy myself tonight, it's been so long!"

At this moment, Buyer was too shy to continue and returned to her original form. At most, she would observe the current situation through the life seed of her former father to prevent any deaths.
