Douluo Dragon King: The martial soul has double pupils, and it is destiny!

Chapter 228 If Nothing Unexpected
Although Gu Chen was not very clear about the concept of "girlfriend", it did not mean that he was completely unfamiliar with it.

He still knows what the concept is.

After all, on the bustling streets of Ming City, there are couples everywhere, so many that they are simply impossible to count.

Just look around and you will find men and women walking side by side and behaving intimately, and 90% of them can be considered as lovers.

Although Gu Chen himself has never been involved in emotional affairs, he has some knowledge about it through daily observation and what he has heard and seen.

As everyone knows, the continuation of human society is inseparable from the union of husband and wife, and this is also the key to promoting the birth and growth of a new generation of life.

However, in reality, many couples’ relationships are not always harmonious and happy.

Gu Chen has already understood this from many books.

Plots such as two women competing for one man and complicated love triangles are common.

In this day and age, it seems that opening an HQ for girls is a very normal thing.

If a person has truly good moral character, he will not bother to say that others have bad moral character, and he probably won't care even if some of these things are said to be crooked.

Just blurt it out.

With his extraordinary keen observation skills and amazing reading speed - let alone reading ten lines at a glance, even reading a hundred or even a thousand lines is no problem for him - he can finish reading a whole book in just a few seconds.

Not only that, more importantly, all the emotional entanglements and character relationships involved in the book will be deeply imprinted in his mind, as if engraved and indelible.

Because of this, he has plenty of time to repeatedly ponder and deeply explore the human philosophy and emotional truths behind these stories.

This was the first time that Gu Chen seriously faced the relationship between men and women.

If I have to say it, it would be three words:

Hard to comment.

That's it.

Gu Chen slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor. He took out the exquisite room card from his pocket, swiped it lightly, and the door opened.

He pushed open the door and stepped into the unfamiliar room.

The first thing that catches your eye is the brown walls and floors, which give people a calm and warm feeling.

The ceiling emits a soft warm yellow light, just like the warm sun in winter, which makes people feel warm.

The layout of the entire room is simple yet stylish, which really creates a unique atmosphere.

At this moment, Su Mengchan also followed into the room.

She looked around curiously, and her eyes finally fell on Gu Chen. She asked, "Brother, where should I sleep?" Gu Chen pointed to the second bedroom next to her and said, "You sleep in the second bedroom." Su Mengchan nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."

However, this time Su Mengchan did not make more requests or act coquettishly as usual, which surprised Gu Chen.

He couldn't help but tease, "You didn't say anything this time?" Su Mengchan raised her eyebrows playfully, snorted softly, and replied, "Hmm. Do you want me to say, 'Brother, please, brother, please?'"

After saying this, he blinked deliberately and acted cute.

Hearing this, Gu Chen quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's quite corny."

Su Mengchan pretended to be angry and pouted, "Humph, you actually think I'm corny!"

Gu Chen explained: "No, no, I don't think so." Seeing Gu Chen's anxious look, Su Mengchan chuckled and stopped teasing him.

After a moment of silence, Su Mengchan said, "I'll stop talking now. I'll go back to the second bedroom first."

Gu Chen smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, go ahead."

Watching Su Mengchan turn and walk towards the second bedroom, Gu Chen felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Gu Chen slowly reached out his hand, gently but forcefully grasped a corner of the heavy curtain, and then suddenly lifted it.

As the curtains were fully opened, the entire huge floor-to-ceiling window appeared before our eyes.

However, outside the window was a heart-pounding darkness, like an endless abyss.

Although it was dark outside, for Gu Chen, it did not mean that he could not see the hidden things outside.

With his keen perception and special abilities, he is able to see subtle details that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

Life now seems calm and everything remains peaceful on the surface.

However, only Gu Chen himself knew that this calmness was just a fragile disguise.

Beneath this appearance, there are countless unknown crises and undercurrents.

Who can know what kind of raging dangers are hidden behind this tranquility?

However, deep down in his heart, Gu Chen sincerely hoped that such a life could last longer.

After all, he wasn't really keen on ending other people's lives with his own hands.

For him, the act of putting people to death was not simply disgust, but more of a slight dislike.

Because every time he did this, an inexplicable emotion would surge in his heart - as if he was despising every living life, treating it as insignificant as weeds on the roadside.

Deep in Gu Chen's memory, there has always been a deep-rooted idea: all living beings should be treated equally.

Everyone has his or her own unique value and meaning, and no one is nobler or humbler than anyone else.

But the real world always cruelly breaks this beautiful fantasy, forcing him to face many helplessness and contradictions.

Perhaps, truly achieving equality for all was destined to be an unattainable luxury from the very beginning...

He once immersed himself in the vast sea of classics, exploring the development process and rise and fall of soul beasts.

Those yellowed pages seemed to carry the memories of the years, telling him about the glory and honor of the soul beasts in the past.

However, as time went on, soul beasts gradually declined.

This process did not happen overnight, but was a long and tortuous journey.

The more he studied this period of history, the more he felt that human nature was difficult to understand.

empathy.

The role humans played in the decline of soul beasts...

Either take the opportunity to catch more and raise them, or make them into souls directly.

A certain Holy Spirit is named here.

The descriptions of all this in the book often whitewash the situation and portray human beings as noble and righteous.

But anyone with a little common sense can see through the hypocrisy at a glance. The real situation is right in front of us and no one can refute it.

The so-called "equality of all beings" may just be a beautiful vision that people can only imagine in their dreams.

To realize such an ideal, there must be a great man who can step forward and lead the entire human race onto a completely new path.

And this is exactly the responsibility and mission that a true emperor should shoulder.

But unless something unexpected happens, such a person will never appear in the future.
