Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in Dragon King

Chapter 24: A Promise is Made, and the Beauty Leaves

Qian Mo felt empty at this moment, his mind full of the little things he had experienced with Gu Yuena over the past three years.

We train together, study together, eat together, go shopping together, and I even buy her beautiful jewelry and interesting gifts.

Although Qian Mo still doesn't know why Gu Yuena has been following him for three years.

As he thought about it, Qian Mo found that he really couldn't bear to leave Gu Yuena, so he decided to take the initiative. He turned over and stared at Gu Yuena, asking word by word.

"What are your plans when you get back?"

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment after hearing this before she said coldly, "It depends on the family's arrangements."

"Don't worry about the family's arrangements," Qian Mo invited eagerly, "In half a year, the family wants me to take part in the Shrek Academy Inner Court Examination. Will you accompany me?"

Gu Yuena, who had studied in the Holy Angel Family for a long time, was naturally familiar with Shrek Academy. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly after a long while, "I'm not sure if my family will let me go."

"There's no harm in going there, and there are resources to be gained. Will you come with me?" Qian Mo grabbed Gu Yuena's little hand and looked into her eyes, full of earnestness. He was determined to tie Gu Yuena to his side.

Gu Yuena looked away, her heart in turmoil. She struggled a few times with her hands, but when she saw that she couldn't break free, she stopped struggling. She just remained silent, with some confusion in her eyes.

Qian Mo held onto Gu Yuena's hand tightly. Gu Yuena glanced at Qian Mo secretly, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes. She knew that she and Qian Mo were not suitable for any deeper interaction, but...

"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Yuena finally softened her heart and agreed softly.

Qian Mo suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise. He excitedly hugged Gu Yuena in his arms and said in her ear in a rather domineering tone: "Keep your word. In half a year, I will see you at the gate of Shrek Academy."

Surrounded by the divine and holy masculine aura, Gu Yuena blushed from her face to her neck, her heart pounding, and that hint of shyness was as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

"I will definitely come. Can you let me go first?" Gu Yuena lowered her head and said shyly.

Qian Mo let go reluctantly, but his "pig's trotter" still held on to Gu Yuena's hand.

Gu Yuena didn't care about these things. With her other hand, she took out a pendant from her bosom. The pendant had a piece of shining silver with layers of fine patterns and scales the size of pigeon eggs on it and handed it to Qian Mo.

"Hold this pendant carefully. It can save your life at a critical moment."

Is it a silver dragon's reverse scale? Qian Mo held the silver scale pendant in his hand, examining it closely. He discovered that the scale itself wasn't a pure oval. One side was oval, while the other side was folded upwards, giving it a somewhat shield-like appearance. Four layers of patterns overlapped, imbuing it with a three-dimensional effect. The tails of the patterns all curved upwards, and even the slightest light shone on the scale, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Qian Mo took off the red cross pendant from his neck and replaced it with a silver scale pendant. He looked at the cross pendant in his hand and said with emotion, "My mother gave me this pendant when I was born. It has been with me for nine years. Now I give it to you. I hope that it can accompany you in my place while I am away."

Qian Mo held the cross pendant in his hand, put it around Gu Yuena's neck, and gently lifted her soft silver hair. The hair brushed against Qian Mo's nose, making him feel itchy.

After giving the cross pendant to Gu Yuena, Qian Mo instructed, "This pendant was transformed by me and Elder Kong into a ninth-level defensive soul guide called Angel's Blessing. It can help you block attacks from three Titled Douluo-level enemies. It also contains my sacred aura, which can help you distinguish between good and evil and dispel evil spirits."

"I hope it can help you avoid any danger, Na'er!"

……

The next morning, Qian Mo slowly opened his sleepy eyes on the balcony. The crisp chirping of birds filled his ears, and morning dew clung to his eyelashes and hair. A blanket had been pulled over him. Qian Mo turned around, but the woman he'd held tightly the previous night was nowhere to be seen. Only a storage ring lay quietly on the recliner.

"Alas, every goodbye is for a better meeting!"

Qian Mo stretched lazily, picked up the storage ring casually, took a quick look inside, and the next moment his face was full of surprise.

"Damn, Na'er actually has some extra of this stuff."

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff!"

At this time, Le Jing came down from upstairs and saw Qian Mo fiddling with a storage ring in the living room. He asked curiously, "What are you doing so early in the morning? Hey, your clothes look like they've been lying out all night."

Qian Mo clutched the storage ring and was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "Na'er is gone."

"Let's go, where are you going?" Le Jing was stunned for a moment, not reacting to Qian Mo's meaning.

Qian Mo touched the silver dragon scales against his chest and said in a complicated tone, "She was picked up by her family."

"Huh?" Le Jing was confused and said subconsciously: "How is that possible? No outsiders have come to our tribe recently?"

Qian Mo shrugged and said helplessly, "Na'er's family was not very polite and took Na'er away quietly."

"What? Your grandfather was still in the clan territory yesterday and didn't notice that an outsider had sneaked in?" Le Jing frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"Na'er comes from a secluded family. Maybe there's a Limit Douluo in her family who's good at the way of space!"

Qian Mo knew that if Di Tian took action, he could take Gu Yuena away quietly from under Le Zhengen's nose.

Le Jing's expression gradually turned ugly. He turned to Le Zhengyu who had just walked downstairs and shouted, "Zhengyu, go check Naer's room."

"Ah, oh!" Although the sleepy Le Zhengyu didn't know what happened, he still subconsciously followed his father's instructions.

After a while, Yue Zhengyu hurried downstairs and shouted, "Dad, this is terrible! Na'er is missing, and all the clothes and jewelry in her room are gone too."

Le Jing's expression became increasingly ugly. He was very angry about Gu Yuena's family trespassing into the Holy Angel family's territory and Gu Yuena's leaving without saying goodbye.

Especially since he had gone against everyone's opinion and trained Gu Yuena with the treatment of a core member. Now she had run away without a word. All his three years of investment might have gone to waste. How could he explain this to his family?

Qian Mo took in Le Jing's sullen expression and said soothingly, "Don't worry, uncle. Na'er is definitely not an ungrateful person. She left us something to repay our kindness over the past three years."

After saying that, Qian Mo took out something from the storage ring and showed it to Le Jing.

A piece of green jade the size of Qianmo's palm, shaped like a pebble, and as clear as crystal.
