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

After listening to Gu Qiuxi's explanation, Xu Xingyu asked curiously, "So what do you plan to do with this dragon egg? Since the dragon souls chose to entrust it to you, they must have their own ideas, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiuxi's face flushed slightly as she said, "About this... those dragon souls want me to be the foster mother of this dragon egg..."

"............."

It's not entirely unreasonable for the dragon souls to have such thoughts. Gu Qiuxi's Golden Dragon King bloodline is inherently more noble than that of the Fire Dragon King, and she herself also possesses fire attributes. Therefore, it's not so illogical to ask her to hatch dragon eggs.

It's just that at such a young age, it's a bit... I don't know how to put it.

However, Xu Xingyu seemed unable to say anything, since he also had a daughter named Buyeer who had forcibly recognized him as her father, so he could understand Gu Qiuxi's situation.

Xu Xingyu listened quietly to Gu Qiuxi's explanation, understanding dawning on him. He knew that being chosen as the future Fire Dragon King's adoptive mother would place a heavy responsibility on Gu Qiuxi's shoulders.

It is indeed surprising that Gu Qiuxi is so old, but as a Soul Master, age is not the only standard for judging ability; temperament is also a very important standard.

Many people believe that the most important thing for cultivators is their own cultivation level, while things like temperament are secondary.

However, in reality, a person's character is also a very important factor in cultivation, and this factor can even determine a person's upper limit.

For example, why did the Phoenix Douluo during the Peerless Era only reach level 97 in cultivation? And this breakthrough was only possible because of taking drugs?

In contrast, ten thousand years later, Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo with the same Bright Phoenix Martial Soul as Yan Shaozhe, was able to reach the level of a demigod.

You could argue that this is simply a difference in talent or a difference in resources ten thousand years from now.

However, in Xu Xingyu's opinion, the biggest reason was Yan Shaozhe's personality. In his teacher's words, Yan Shaozhe was never magnanimous enough and only cared about his own interests. He could even be described as pedantic.

Even if his own people infringe upon the interests of his faction, he will find various pretexts of righteousness to obstruct them and engage in other shameless acts.

It can be said that his personality is very incompatible with the attribute of light, which leads to his limited understanding of light itself. It is quite normal that he could not even reach the limit of his cultivation in the end.

Gu Qiuxi's attributes are light, fire, fate, and destruction.

At this stage, Gu Qiuxi's temperament and the two powers of flame and destruction are very compatible, which can be seen from how she fights.

The problem is that if it's just flames, that's fine, but if it tends towards destruction, then it's questionable whether Gu Qiuxi will be able to maintain her own identity in the future.

The worst-case scenario would be even more severe than the previous berserk state after absorbing the shattered crystal core. In that case, Xu Xingyu could still salvage the situation, but once even her self is destroyed, then even Xu Xingyu wouldn't be able to save her.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take care of the dragon egg to make Gu Qiuxi have a deeper sense of responsibility, and also wanted Gu Qiuxi to temper her temper a little.

This will not only benefit her further understanding of the power of light and destiny, but also pave the way for her to completely control the power of destruction in the future.

Of course, this matter cannot be done by Gu Qiuxi alone. After all, the two have already established a relationship, so if she is to be the future Fire Dragon King's adoptive mother, he will have to take on the responsibility of the adoptive father.

"Qiu'er, I understand your situation," Xu Xingyu said softly. "As the foster mother of the dragon egg, you will bear important responsibilities, but you will not be alone."

He reached out and gently took Gu Qiuxi's hand, his tenderness calming her emotions. "Don't worry, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you. After all, you are my woman, and it's my responsibility to take care of your adopted daughter."

"I already have one adopted daughter, so having another one wouldn't be a big problem."

After hearing Xu Xingyu's words, Gu Qiuxi blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Xingyu-gege. Actually, I understand what you mean, but suddenly becoming a mother (albeit an adoptive mother) still caught me a little off guard."

"But you're right. Although I have no experience in hatching dragon eggs, since you've chosen me, I have to do my best."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu smiled and handed a red dragon pill to Gu Qiuxi.

Gu Qiuxi, upon receiving the Dragon Pill, knew without even looking that it was the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Pill that Xu Xingyu had obtained at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, containing the Fire Dragon King's exclusive divine position.

The dragon egg beside Gu Qiuxi seemed to sense the aura similar to its own contained within the dragon core and began to resonate with it.

However, Gu Qiuxi did not immediately give the Dragon Pill to her future adopted daughter. The energy contained in the dragon egg was already extremely large due to the continuous infusion of energy by the dragon souls.

If the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Core is put in, the little life inside the dragon egg will explode on the spot because it cannot withstand the force.

At this moment, Gu Qiuxi suddenly raised her head and said, "Now that we've dealt with the Dragon Valley matter, shouldn't we start searching for the missing remains of the former Dragon Emperor?"

Gu Qiuxi hadn't forgotten that before they came here, they had promised the Dragon Emperor that they would find the remains of the missing previous Dragon Emperors. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to leave empty-handed?

Xu Xingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, while I was busy forging the Star Dragon Tower, I also used some of my mental energy to find those remains."

After saying that, Xu Xingyu snapped her fingers, and a spatial rift appeared, from which several coffins and similar objects fell.

Seeing this, Gu Qiuxi remained silent for a moment before asking, "So, are we leaving Dragon Valley now?"

Now that we've basically achieved our goals here, theoretically, the only thing left to do is leave.

"I'd actually like to leave like this," Xu Xingyu said, pointing to the Star Dragon Tower behind her. "But the Star Dragon Tower isn't fully completed yet. Although the remaining work can be completed automatically using preset programs, it will still take a considerable amount of time."

"Therefore, we cannot leave Dragon Valley before the Star Dragon Tower is fully completed. After all, Dragon Valley cannot maintain its orbit in the void by relying solely on the incomplete Star Dragon Tower."

"How long will this take?" Gu Qiuxi frowned and said, "Although there is no time limit for this assessment, it's not a good idea to take too long, is it? We still need to further win over the faith of the Five Elements Dragon Clan."

Xu Xingyu responded somewhat awkwardly, "It could take anywhere from a few months to almost a year."

"..................All right............"
