Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 71 Gu Yuena: When will I be able to have you?

"Is there anything wrong with your body?" Wu Changkong's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Tang Wulin sensed it for a moment, then shook his head:
"No, no, on the contrary, I feel better than ever before." He paused, his voice lowering, "It's just that I seem to have had a terrible dream, but I don't remember anything."

Wu Changkong's sharp eyes swept across the carriage, then looked out the window at the undamaged scenery rushing past.

That intense sense of unease surged back into my heart.

Something earth-shattering must have happened here.

But no matter how he investigated, even using his mental power to scan carefully, he couldn't find any clues.

Memory gaps, environmental restoration... these are methods that are beyond human capability.

He gave Tang Wulin a deep look, then glanced at the illusory Haotian Hammer in his hand, and finally said in a deep voice:

"Let's put this matter aside for now. The twin martial souls, especially the Clear Sky Hammer... are of great importance. Don't mention them to anyone before we return to Donghai City. Xie Xie, Xiao Yan, the same goes for you."

His tone was more serious than ever before, even carrying a hint of warning.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan nodded immediately, like chickens pecking at rice. Although they were young, they understood what a top-tier martial soul meant, and they also understood that what had happened to their captain was definitely not simple.

"Yes, teacher." Tang Wulin nodded vigorously and retracted the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul into his body.

The oppressive feeling inside the carriage disappeared.

……

Along the way, the core ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, including Di Tian, ​​Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, and Xiong Jun, gathered here, their eyes fixed intently on the silver figure ahead, Gu Yue Na.

She held a strangely shaped silver-gray metal device in her hand, its surface flowing with mysterious runes, and its interior faintly revealing a chilling golden-red light and the phantom of complex dark gold chains.

The light contained unparalleled domineering power; even a mere wisp of its aura caused the blood of the ferocious beasts present to boil, and awe and longing surged from the depths of their souls.

"The Golden Dragon King's bloodline... we've really got it!" Di Tian's deep voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and his enormous dragon eyes gleamed with wild joy. "My lord! With it, after you fuse with it, you will surely restore the glory of the Dragon God! Lead us back to the God Realm and reclaim everything we have lost!"

Murasaki's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she stepped forward, her voice trembling:

"Our lord is wise! The return of the Dragon God is just around the corner!"

The other ferocious beasts also roared or groaned, expressing their indescribable excitement and anticipation.

However, Gu Yuena's beautiful face remained calm, her purple eyes deep and unfathomable, showing no trace of the ecstatic joy of about to gain supreme power.

She gently stroked the device in her hand, feeling the wild and untamed power within, yet also carrying a familiar, primal aura, and slowly shook her head.

"Now is not the time."

Her voice calmed the agitated beasts.

"The fall of the Dragon God, splitting him into me and the Golden Dragon King, was no accident." Gu Yuena's gaze swept over the ferocious beasts. "What happened in the God Realm back then? Why did the Dragon God descend into madness? What was the root cause of the split?"

"If these problems are not resolved, it would be reckless to merge with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, which contains elements of madness..."

She paused, her tone becoming serious:
"I cannot guarantee whether what emerges after the fusion will be a complete Dragon God, or a monster that inherits the Dragon God's power, but also that madness and destructive will... It might even trigger a disaster more terrible than what happened back then."

The fervor in Di Tian's eyes quickly faded, replaced by deep thought and solemnity. He said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty's considerations are thorough; it was Di Tian's rashness. Indeed, the root cause is unclear, and the hidden dangers are too great. Now that we have the bloodline in our hands, the divine realm has vanished without a trace, and we are peacefully developing with humanity, we have plenty of time," Zi Ji said respectfully.
“What Di Tian said is absolutely right. Your Majesty need not be in such a hurry. We have been lying low for ten thousand years, so what difference a hundred or a thousand years will make? The most urgent task is to thoroughly find out the truth of what happened back then, eliminate any hidden dangers, and ensure that the integration is foolproof.”

“Indeed.” Gu Yuena nodded slightly, confirming Di Tian and Zi Ji’s views. She gently tossed the device in her hand, and it turned into a silver light and disappeared into the void, obviously being stored in a special space.

Gu Yuena looked up and said softly:
"It's about time. If we leave for too long, it will arouse unnecessary suspicion, and it will be too troublesome to deal with then."

"I'm going back. You guys can clean up the mess."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena's figure and the silver moon's reflection in the water began to blur and become transparent.

A powerful spatial force silently rippled around her, forming a miniature spatial vortex.

The next instant, her figure vanished completely from the spot, as if she had never existed.

Only these excited and agitated ferocious beasts remained.

The Lord has obtained the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and they will always have the Dragon God overseeing them.

What a wonderful occasion!

……

Lu Jun leaned back in his comfortable chair, closed his eyes to rest, and focused his consciousness into his body, carefully experiencing the power boost and new soul bone skill brought by absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

Sitting beside him, Gu Yuena remained seated with her eyes closed, her long silver hair cascading over her shoulders, shimmering softly in the sunlight streaming in from the window. Her delicate profile was as serene as a sleeping elf.

Soon, Lu Jun seemed to sense something again.

Like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing barely perceptible ripples in the space.

This fluctuation was extremely brief and fleeting. If the Ice Abyss Sword had not just undergone an upgrade and its perception had not been at its peak, and if Lu Jun had not been constantly monitoring Gu Yuena's abnormality, it would have been absolutely impossible to detect it.

As the ripple subsided, Gu Yuena's faint, almost nonexistent, ethereal feeling, as if her spirit had left her body, vanished instantly.

Instead, a familiar, cool, and refreshing life force, belonging to a human girl, filled her body once again.

Those tightly closed purple eyes suddenly opened.

His gaze shifted, still a deep purple, carrying his usual coolness and a hint of the hazy sleepiness of someone just waking up.

She turned her head with perfect ease, her gaze calmly meeting Lu Jun's slightly probing eyes. Her voice remained clear and cold, devoid of any emotion.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

It was as if all those unusual sensations just now were merely Lu Jun's illusions.

Lu Jun felt a slight chill, but his expression remained unchanged. He naturally shifted his gaze to the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and said calmly:
"It's nothing, you seem to be asleep, and you don't look too well."

"Yeah, I might be a little tired," Gu Yuena replied casually, turning to look out the window and falling silent.

The Golden Dragon King's bloodline is mine.

Next up is you, Lu Jun.

When will I be able to have you?
