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

Chapter 254 Family +1
The boy nodded slightly in agreement and did not object to Gu Chen's words.

This attitude of not denying is actually equivalent to affirmation.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile, slowly shook his head, and said softly, "To be honest, the fact that you ran away on your own really surprised me."

"What surprised me even more was that you were able to develop your own will."

However, upon closer examination, this doesn't seem entirely inexplicable. After all, although neither the abyss nor the demons possessed self-awareness, they each had their own masters.

"And you, although I am your master, I have not interfered with the birth of the origin of will, neither deliberately promoting it nor suppressing it."

At this moment, the boy's face was devoid of any other expression, only a calm demeanor and a hint of coldness. This expression was exactly the same as Gu Chen's. Then, the boy spoke, "My lord, I have come here to take you back with me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's smile did not fade, but he replied in a slightly lower tone, "Take me back? But now, it seems a bit too late. I have already personally experienced everything that needed to be experienced; and I am confident enough to deal with the challenges that have not yet come. So, I'm afraid you've come a bit too late."

Upon hearing this, the boy's tone clearly showed a hint of apology as he said slowly, "My lord, I am truly sorry, my will was only born a few days ago." Gu Chen smiled and shook his head, taking a sip of hot tea. These things weren't so important now.

The damage has been repaired.

He's living a wonderful life now. He no longer needs anyone's help.

Because he alone already possesses power that is almost comparable to that of the world.

Dead?

He is still alive and well.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about this issue.

However, the boy's eyes appeared unusually dim, as if they had lost all their luster.

He slowly said, “My Lord, I first became aware of myself three years ago. At that time, I heard your indistinct voice, as if it came from a distant shore. Then, two years ago, you suddenly left, leaving me feeling incredibly lonely and lost. And just a year ago, my self-awareness was finally born.”

"My lord, how have you been these past three years?" The boy's voice was full of concern and worry.

Gu Chen listened silently to the boy's story, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

He muttered to himself, "Yeah, it seems like everyone who sees me asks, 'Are you alright?' Three years isn't a long time, but it's not short either. Aside from those hazy memories, I can hardly recall this period clearly anymore. Perhaps I'm doing alright..."

Gu Chen slowly stood up, his movements solemn, as if this action carried important significance.

He slowly opened his palm and stretched it out towards the boy in front of him; the hand looked especially warm under the light.

The boy stared blankly at the hand in front of him, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

The feeling of being recognized by his owner was like a spring breeze, filling his heart with warmth and joy.

The feeling was so intense that his eyes welled up with tears.

This body, or rather, this thing that shouldn't be called a living being.

Tears should also not be present.

However, the boy did not let the tears fall. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

He nodded slightly in agreement, then reached out and carefully grasped Gu Chen's large hand. The warmth spread from his palm, making even the snowy day outside seem less cold.

Gu Chen felt the boy's response, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He gently squeezed the boy's hand, as if conveying a sense of strength and trust.

Then, Gu Chen led the boy around, their steps light as they stepped out of the restaurant and into the pristine snow. Snowflakes fluttered down, draping the world in a silvery blanket.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a trail of deep and shallow footprints.

They walked toward the distant tower, which looked particularly majestic against the backdrop of snow.

As they disappeared from sight, only one echo remained in the wide street: "Since he's my younger brother, he should take my surname. Let's make him Gu Tian, ​​and his nickname is Gu Tian."

……

Three days later, Gu Chen kicked open the bedroom door from the inside, grabbed one of them in each hand, and threw both of them out the door. Then he slammed the door shut.

Gu Tian and Su Mengchan looked at each other, but their eyes were both blank, clearly confused.

I reckon he had just woken up not long ago when he was suddenly thrown out.

Then, Gu Chen's voice came from the bedroom: "Go back to your room. The bed is too small; it can't fit three people. Also, don't peek through the window, especially at night. You look like a ghost."

Su Mengchan stretched and yawned. The rapid adjustment of her internal state made her less sleepy at the moment.

She stood up from the floor and then walked towards the kitchen.

Gu Tian also jumped up from the ground.

Then I ran to the bathroom and washed my face.

Then a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

About five minutes later, Gu Chen also came out of the bedroom. His hair was all sticking up.

Then I went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, washed my hands, and took a comb to smooth my hair.

Gu Chen also washed his face, walked out of the bathroom, and came to the living room.

Su Mengchan also brought three bowls of porridge to the table.
"Brother, would you like some porridge?"

"of course."

Gu Chen walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Almost simultaneously, a petite figure ran out of the bathroom and quickly pulled out a chair to sit down.

Su Mengchan looked at Gu Chen, who had sat down but hadn't touched his porridge much, and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"
