Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Seeing that Gu Yuena was listening to him, An Zhen's emotions calmed down a bit.

It seems that getting stabbed is quite effective.

This directly brought out Gu Yuena's innermost feelings.

At this moment, the hole in An Zhen's chest pierced by the Silver Dragon Spear was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, thanks to the divine version of the Life Gold.

An Zhen was fully capable of dodging Gu Yuena's spear. She could even block it with her physical body and divine power alone. The Silver Dragon Spear was indeed quite powerful, ranking among the top in the divine weapon category, but at this moment, if Gu Yuena didn't release her own seal, she wouldn't be able to unleash the true power of this divine weapon with just her maximum strength.

But Anzhen chose to resort to a self-inflicted injury strategy.

And An Zhen was confident that she could accomplish this without threatening her own life.

Both the Silver Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear can devour life force. However, An Zhen has a piece of divine-level life-gold within her body. Even if the Silver Dragon Spear is highly absorbent, without its master's control and relying solely on its own instincts, it would take at least a year and a half to completely absorb such high-quality life force.

An Zhen really didn't want to die.

But a little pain is still bearable. After all, he did lie to Gu Yuena.

“I admit it,” An Zhen continued, gently stroking Gu Yuena’s cheek with her fingers. “At the beginning, I did have some lustful thoughts, after all, Na’er is just too beautiful, the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life.”

"But Na'er, you know my personality. I'm affectionate, but not a jerk. I'm responsible for every girl around me. I will never do anything inappropriate until I'm sure I can and want to shoulder the future of a young girl."

He's affectionate, but not a jerk; he's very responsible!

That's the truth. Whether it's soul bones, soul rings, soul spirits, immortal herbs, or divine trials, Anzhen gives them the best she can. Compared to the original story, things are much better now.

“I know Na’er’s identity…”

An Zhen's gentle expression was reflected in Gu Yuena's purple dragon eyes.

"So, on that day, I was already prepared to take on Na'er's future, and the revival of the dragon race naturally became my goal."

Gu Yuena turned her face away. The intense and sincere gaze made her thoughts churn. She couldn't bear to look at him any longer, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions in the next second. She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "You talk a good game."

“I’m serious,” Anzhen said with unwavering determination. “It’s not just because of the agreement with the Ice and Fire Dragon King, but also because of Na’er. Just think of it as me trying to win Na’er’s favor.”

“Liar…” Gu Yuena murmured softly, “You just want to keep lying to me.”

But the girl's delicate body nestled quietly in An Zhen's arms, her silver hair obscuring her eyes and concealing the churning thoughts within them.

Gu Yuena's rationality kept warning her that this was just another trick An Zhen was using to deceive her. She had already been deceived so badly once and lost so much; did she really want to be deceived again? But Gu Yuena's emotions made her want to believe it. Perhaps more than anything, she didn't want to think that all the ambiguous intimacy they had shared in the past was fake; she wanted to believe that their past feelings for each other were real.

The name "Anzhen" kept invading Gu Yuena's mind.

After a long time.

Gu Yuena turned to look at An Zhen, her expression extremely serious, and asked a question that had been bothering her, "Then let me ask you, how did you know about those things about the Dragon God War, even things I didn't know? Also, why did you recognize me immediately after I arrived at Shrek Academy? I was using the name Gu Yuena for the first time at that time."

"Ever since the Dragon God split into me and the Golden Dragon King, I have been hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest after escaping from the God Realm. Only Di Tian knows about my existence, so how do you know about it!"

Gu Yuena was very puzzled. If An Zhen wasn't the Fire Dragon King, how did he know these things?
"I……"

"I'm warning you," Gu Yuena interrupted An Zhen, her tone extremely serious, "An Zhen, if you dare to lie to me again, I will hate you for the rest of my life, and there will be absolutely no possibility between us!"

"I can't tell you right now," An Zhen said helplessly.

Gu Yuena was angry, "You're doing this again!"

“I have my reasons,” Anzhen explained. “This matter is of great importance.”

"So you just don't believe me!" Gu Yuena glared at An Zhen, even angrier. She had originally wanted to give this guy another chance, and she had finally found a reason to convince herself—as she had said before, the interests of the race were above personal feelings. If An Zhen could help the dragon race revive, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for her, as the Silver Dragon King, to make some sacrifices.

But now it seems unnecessary. This guy doesn't trust her at all, how can she be expected to trust him!

“Really, I’ll tell you in the future, but now is not the time.” Anzhen tried to change the subject. “Na’er, weren’t we talking about the revival of the dragon race?”

"Then tell me." Gu Yuena looked at An Zhen, at her former lover, the one she loved so deeply who had deceived her. "Tell me, how can I trust you again!"

"Time will tell," Anzhen said.

After all, it's just a verbal promise, and these things ultimately need to be proven by facts.

"Then you can wait for the time you mentioned to come." Gu Yuena struggled in An Zhen's arms again. "Let me go!" This time, An Zhen released Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena stood up, her gaze sweeping over An Zhen, lingering for a second on the almost healed wound on An Zhen's chest, before turning and walking towards the wardrobe to change into a clean set of everyday clothes. Blue trousers, a short-sleeved shirt, and a white trench coat—practical and capable while retaining a youthful sweetness, even though Gu Yuena's face was as cold as frost at the moment.

An Zhen sat on the edge of the bed, watching Gu Yuena pack up the clothes in the closet. "Where is Na'er going?"

"go home."

"This is it."

Gu Yuena said coldly, "Liar!" With that, she continued packing her things, leaving An Zhen with only a resolute back view.

"What if I don't let Na'er leave?" Anzhen's voice was slightly low.

Gu Yuena needs to evade detection from the divine realm and cannot use divine-level or higher powers. An Zhen now indeed possesses the ability to forcibly keep Gu Yuena here.

"That's your own business." Gu Yuena turned around, her purple dragon eyes devoid of any emotion, only icy coldness. "So, are you going to use force to forcibly imprison me?"

“…” An Zhen couldn’t stand that kind of gaze; it was like being looked at by a stranger.

“Lake of Life is a beautiful place to vacation,” An Zhen said, her tone softening. “After such a change of scenery, it’s good to relax in a different environment.”

In any case, for him now, going to any location in Douluo Continent is just a matter of a thought. Even in Mingdu, he can clearly sense what is happening in the Star Dou Great Forest.

An Zhen raised his hand, and a blue crystal the size of an infant's fist appeared in his palm. A rich natural aura emanated from it, and a life force that transcended the mortal realm surged within it. The laws of life within it were almost tangible. If An Zhen hadn't controlled it with energy, it would have turned the surrounding area for dozens of miles into a forest the moment it was taken out.

A piece of divine gold cut from the divine realm.

"Take it," An Zhen said, interrupting Gu Yuena before she could speak. "The interests of the race should take precedence over personal feelings. As the king of the dragon race, given the current dire situation of the dragon race, you must take good care of your health."

Gu Yuena remained silent, then accepted it.

"Where are Biji, Qiu'er, and the others?" Anzhen asked.

Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then said, "Tell them the truth, and let them choose whether to stay here or come back to the Star Dou Great Forest with me."

An Zhen raised her hand, and ripples spread through the space. The figures of Bi Ji, who was cooking, and Zi Ji and An Qiu'er, who were eating snacks, appeared in Gu Yue Na's bedroom.

"Uncle/Sir?"

The messy scene in the bedroom seemed to them like a "battle," or more like a fight. After all, in the past, at most clothes would be scattered and the bed would be crushed, but this time, various pieces of furniture and even the walls in the room were damaged. Even Brigitte, who was the least skilled in combat among the three women, quickly judged from the traces at the scene that a small struggle had taken place.

What's going on here?
Why did they start fighting?
An Zhen split her spiritual energy into three groups, allowing the three of them to quickly understand the cause and effect of the matter and the entire process.

A hint of embarrassment and anger flashed in Biji and Ziji's beautiful eyes. After exchanging a glance, they seemed somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do.

An Qiu'er's eyes were full of surprise, "So Uncle isn't Uncle after all."

Will she still have to call him "uncle" from now on?

However, if we call her Anzhen, it would be the same as how others call her.

An Qiu'er's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and her serious expression attracted the attention of the others. As if she had figured something out, she clapped her hands and made a decision, "Let's continue to call him Uncle!"

Princess Jade and Princess Purple: ...

You look so serious, is this what you're thinking about?
"I have a question?" Zi Ji suddenly spoke up.

“Go ahead,” Anzhen said.

Zi Ji looked at Gu Yue Na.

"This is between you and him," Gu Yuena said calmly.

"I want to know," Zi Ji asked, "Are the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress in the same situation as us?"

An Zhen shook her head. "Let them answer this question themselves."

A few seconds later, a cool voice rang out, "Of course not." (End of Chapter)
