The core area of the Star Forest.
A silver-haired figure stood before the Lake of Life, as if waiting for something.
After a while, several figures appeared beside her, one after another.
These individuals held strange objects in their hands, resembling soul guides.
"My Lord, is it truly acceptable to give these things away?" Di Tian stepped forward and asked in a somewhat cautious manner.
What they held in their hands were storage soul guides.
For tens of thousands of years, soul masters had entered the Star Dou Great Forest almost daily, and countless soul masters had perished within its depths. It was only natural that some items would be left behind.
Storage soul guides were among these dropped items.
This was also one of the reasons why, before the merger of the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, storage soul guides in Douluo Continent had become increasingly scarce.
There were "ancient soul guides" circulating in the Douluo Continent, but no one had mastered the method of crafting them. If one was lost, it was gone forever.
Most of the storage soul guides were dropped during soul hunts. A small number had been collected by the soul beast kings, while others had been destroyed by the soul beasts themselves.
Now, with the arrival of the Sun and Moon Continent, even more items were being dropped in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"I have learned much from the human world," the silver-haired girl said, her expression unchanging.
"In the human world, the value of a gift is often tied to the sentiment behind it."
"The more valuable something is, the more it represents your sincerity."
"Most humans consider gold soul coins to be the most valuable."
"A small number of humans believe that soul bones and soul guides are the most valuable."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger crossed the faces of the ferocious beasts, but they remained silent.
For soul masters, the soul bones left behind after the death of soul beasts were indeed highly prized.
"Occasionally, one or two humans think that my..."
At this point, the silver-haired girl paused, then continued, "I didn't know what the most valuable thing was, so I instinctively taught these individuals a lesson."
Di Tian and the others were also quite puzzled. What could be so precious? It was a bit difficult to explain, wasn't it?
Isn't reproduction the instinct of all living beings?
If you meet the right female or male, producing excellent offspring becomes the top priority.
Ever since the Silver Dragon King appeared, she had been severely injured by the Asura God.
She had been recuperating from her injuries until now and had never laid a dragon egg.
Of course, to lay dragon eggs with the Silver Dragon King, one must first earn her favor and possess a strong "Dragon God bloodline," at least on par with her own.
The Silver Dragon King is one of the incarnations of the Dragon God. The only one who could rival her in bloodline purity was the Golden Dragon King.
"My Lord, we have stored the currency used by humans, the Gold Soul Coins, in these storage soul guides."
Indeed, it wasn't just the storage soul guides being given away, these soul guides were also filled with gold soul coins.
When the Silver Dragon King returned, she ordered all the "people" to gather or retrieve their treasured soul guides and gold soul coins. Though they were confused, they obeyed without question.
Gold Soul Coins and the Dragon Clan's collections made up the majority. Who wouldn't be drawn to these shiny things?
Over the years, they had amassed quite a number of storage soul guides as well.
After hearing this, the silver-haired girl nodded, waved her hand, and activated the power of space. The storage soul guides in the hands of the "people" vanished in an instant.
"I'm going to meet this Martial God. During this time, you must remember not to act rashly."
With those words, the silver-haired girl disappeared.
They knew that humans prized soul bones, but as soul beasts, how could they possibly give away the bones of their own kind?
Therefore, the silver-haired girl chose the gold soul coins and the soul guides instead.
If the other party was greedy and demanded soul bones, then cooperation was out of the question.
Human greed would only fuel their desires, leading to the indiscriminate slaughter of soul beasts.
There was no need to cooperate with such a person, even if they were a god.
In the blink of an eye, a silver figure appeared in the air above Liyue Port.
She gazed down at the bustling city of Liyue, a flicker of longing in her eyes, but she quickly shook her head.
The hatred between humans and soul beasts had accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and peace seemed like an impossible dream.
With a flash of her figure, the silver-haired girl appeared in an empty alley and then stepped out onto the bustling streets of Liyue.
As soon as she emerged, the pedestrians on the streets of Liyue were momentarily stunned.
Beauties were not uncommon on Douluo Continent, there was never a shortage of them.
But this was the first time they had seen a woman of such breathtaking beauty!
With her silver hair, silver eyes, and long locks cascading down to her calves, she exuded an icy aura that seemed to warn others to "keep their distance."
"What a stunning woman! She must have just arrived in Liyue. No wonder I've never heard any rumors about her."
Though everyone was captivated, no one dared to approach or strike up a conversation with her.
After a moment of awe, the crowd returned to their daily routines.
Seeing this, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness for Liyue.
In other human towns, her appearance would have caused a commotion, with people flocking to her and trying to engage her in conversation, something she found incredibly annoying.
But the residents of Liyue simply admired her from afar and never overstepped.
"Hello, where is the Martial God?"
Stopping a random passerby, the silver-haired girl spoke indifferently.
Having explored the human world before, she had a basic understanding of human communication.
Starting with "Hello" usually got a response.
The passerby couldn't help but glance at her twice.
This beautiful woman was looking for the Lord Martial God?
Wait, something felt off.
What she had said was: "Where is the Martial God?"
No honorifics?
After a moment of thought, the passerby replied, "The residence of the Lord Martial God is in the eastern part of Liyue's city center. It's called Zhongli Mansion."
"Just follow this road straight, and you'll reach it in about fifteen minutes."
"As for whether the Lord Martial God is home, that's something I wouldn't know."
Though he was puzzled by her lack of respect, beauty had its privileges, so he still provided her with Zhongli's address.
As for her intentions, the passerby didn't dwell on it.
After all, Zhongli was a god. Even if this girl had ill intentions, harming him would be impossible.
The silver-haired girl nodded slightly and, without another word to the passerby, began walking toward Zhongli Mansion.
"Who are you? At least say thank you," the passerby muttered under his breath, slightly annoyed.
The silver-haired girl paused, turned back, and seemed to consider something.
Should she say thank you after asking for directions?
Realizing this, she returned to the passerby and said, "Thank you."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and continued on her way to Zhongli Mansion.
The passerby scratched his head, feeling both bewildered and amused.
Why did this girl seem so... peculiar?
It was as if she didn't even understand the most basic social norms.
