The Dragonman gazed down at Gu Chaoyan, his expression treating her as if she were a child much younger than himself.

In the next instant…

The Dragonman received a powerful blow to the head.

“Quiet down.” Gu Chaoyan’s hand met his head with a sharp pat, her voice commanding.

“How dare you strike me? I’m distancing myself from you and you’d better return my father’s jewelry!” The Dragonman retorted, hands on hips, as though he were threatening to leave home.

Gu Chaoyan paid no heed to his words.

She had already deciphered the Dragonman’s disposition.

Beneath its loud exterior, it was actually a rather introverted being.

Despite its ferocious appearance, it clung to her for support. If it truly desired to depart, it wouldn’t have acted this way the last time.

And that was the crux of the matter.

In Gu Chaoyan’s estimation, this behavior likely stemmed from its father.

It had entered the world shortly before its father’s passing.

From a young age, it communicated solely through the residual divine power left by its father. However, many individuals lusted after its power and the dragon vein it possessed.

This was the cause of its fierce facade.

Had it not displayed ferocity, it might have been forcibly taken.

Gu Chaoyan turned her attention away, focusing on arranging the contents within the interspatial ring.

Within it lay numerous Spirit Stones and medicinal pills.

Although the Dragonman didn’t consume pills, it had a penchant for Spirit Stones.

As she assembled a stack of Spirit Stones for herself, she made sure to set aside another pile for the little dragon. “Would you like some?”

The Dragonman’s fierce demeanor softened, and it eagerly approached to consume the offered Spirit Stones.

Indeed..

It was indulging in the Spirit Stones.

While the little dragon relished the stones, Gu Chaoyan absorbed her own portion without much surprise. The novelty had worn off by now.

The Dragonman savored the nourishment, comprehending that the Spirit Stones were rightfully hers, not an inheritance from its father.

She exhibited true kindness.

Although what her father had bequeathed to her was already hers, she had refrained from tapping into it.

This realization stirred deep emotions within the Dragonman.

However, expressing these sentiments proved perplexing.

The Dragonman exchanged a glance with her.

“Just eat them, or I’ll snatch them away,” Gu Chaoyan stated bluntly.

In response, the Dragonman rolled its eyes and resolved to maintain silence. This woman was perpetually exasperating.

The competition unfolded upon Wuyuan Island.

Wuyuan Island lacked affiliation with any sect, existing as an unclaimed territory.

However…

Wuyuan Island wasn’t just any uninhabited location; it held an air of significance and could not be casually or recklessly approached.

A spring graced Wuyuan Island, possessing copious amounts of spiritual energy. Immersing oneself in its waters could triple the speed of cultivation compared to ordinary disciples.

In the context of the sect competition, the victorious sects were granted a unique privilege: access to Wuyuan Island.

The triumphant sects had the privilege of assigning two disciples to partake in six months of intensive cultivation on the island.

Curiosity piqued within Gu Chaoyan regarding the spring.

Outside her own spiritual spring, she’d never encountered or learned about spring waters elsewhere. A desire to discern the differences between the two springs stirred within her.

“Junior Sister,” Yuan Jia’s exuberant voice reached out to Gu Chaoyan.

Having journeyed to Xuhai City during the previous instance, Yuan Jia, the leading disciple of the Fist Sect, once more found himself designated to compete on Wuyuan Island.

“Senior Brother,” Gu Chaoyan greeted him with politeness.

Yuan Jia held a genuine fondness for his Junior Sister.

Her quick wit and intelligence never failed to impress him.

Beyond the fact that she had once rescued him, there was also something else he wished for…
