Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 146 Wu Siduo's Free Gift, Gu Yue is a Soul Beast?

In the center of the dance floor, Leng Yaozhu's crimson dress bloomed like a rose, radiating beauty. Gu Yue danced with her teacher, her pale silver sleeves billowing like flowing clouds, resembling a starry sky. The soft light reflecting in the hall swayed with their dance steps, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The overlapping skirts resembled twin flowers, and every movement, in sync with the music, made the hearts of onlookers tremble.

The impact of dance combined with beautiful women far surpasses any words.

When the song ended, the enthusiastic applause lasted for a long time.

The beauty returned the greeting, and they walked off the dance floor together.

The atmosphere reached its peak, and even some men and women who didn't know how to dance made an appointment to go. Although there were quite a few incidents of stepping on feet, it made dancing together more fun and less about maintaining an air of elegance.

"Senior brother?"

Just as she left the dance floor, Gu Yue caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past in the corridor outside the door not far away.

Even for just a moment, nothing escapes her eyes.

"Teacher, I want to go outside for some fresh air," Gu Yue quickly made up an excuse.

"Go."

Leng Yaozhu was still tasting the wine. The official team was willing to spend a lot of money, and the quality of these wines was only slightly inferior to the wines she had stored.

Gu Yue walked away quickly. When she arrived at the corridor, there were no pedestrians around, but a familiar scent lingered in the air.

Following the scent, she quickly went to investigate.

The September banquet was very large, but because the venue was booked out today, only a few staff members occasionally passed by, apart from the guests.

"Excuse me, did someone just leave from here?" Gu Yue approached a waitress.

The waitress replied respectfully, "Yes."

Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly: "Where did he go?"

The waitress pointed in a direction, "That customer just walked that way, but I don't know exactly where he went."

"Thank you." Gu Yue followed the directions and left.

A few minutes later, she arrived outside a garden.

At that time of year, all kinds of flowers were in full bloom, bathing the garden in the bright moonlight and filling it with countless refreshing fragrances.

Da da da!
There were footsteps, very orderly, like dance steps.

Gu Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She kept a low profile and quietly entered the garden. As the sound grew clearer, she hid behind a flower bush and peeked out. But the moment she saw what was happening, her pupils suddenly contracted.

There, a man and a woman are dancing together.

The handsome young man, dressed in a silver-gray suit, stood tall and straight like a sturdy pine tree, with a carefree smile always on his lips. This was none other than Nan Liujing.

The girl dancing with him had long, reddish-brown hair that cascaded down in the moonlight, the ends curling slightly like a cold flame burning. Her skin was translucent, as if bathed in moonlight. Her dress accentuated her proud bust and her slender waist, which seemed so delicate it could be grasped in one hand. She was beautiful, with stunningly beautiful, cold features. Most striking were her extraordinary heterochromatic eyes, which held a mixture of wildness and tenderness in every glance and smile. But the only person who caught her eye was the young man.

The two dancers moved with a mix of light and wild steps, with the chirping of insects replacing the music and flowers serving as their audience.

After a long while, the dance came to an end.

Wu Siduo's face was full of joy, and her voice was melodious and cool: "You're pretty good. When you were a kid, you would step on my feet at least seven or eight times a minute when you danced. You've improved so much now."

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "How's this surprise?"

"So-so." Wu Siduo's face was still slightly flushed. During the dance, the two had quite a few intimate contact movements.

Both of them have grown up and are no longer as naive as they were when they were young.

"This is so-so," Nan Liujing complained. "And I studied dancing so diligently."

Wu Siduo smiled and said, "Let's sit down and chat."

What could Nan Liujing say? He followed her and sat down on the bench.

"By the way, why did you decide to invite me to the garden? Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the hall?" Wu Siduo asked curiously.

“It’s too noisy over there, I don’t like it,” Nan Liujing explained. “I just wanted to experience what it felt like to be a child, and it just so happens that there’s a garden here.”

Mentioning this, Wu Siduo couldn't help but reveal a smile of the past in her eyes. She suddenly sighed, "If I had invited you to stay at my house back then, perhaps the person who would have been your childhood sweetheart wouldn't have been Xinglan, but me."

"Oh, right!" Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said something surprising, "Nan Liujing, since you don't have a girlfriend yet, why don't we give it a try?"

Beside the flower bushes, Gu Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and a strange feeling burst forth in her chest.

She had expected Ye Xinglan and Na'er to be the first to jump out, but she never imagined it would be Wu Siduo.

"No, is it really that casual?" Nan Liujing was taken aback. His original intention was to wait for the relationship to continue to heat up before confessing his feelings.

Wu Siduo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "That's what my mom said. If you like someone, just go for it. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. That's how she pursued my dad."

"Besides, our family backgrounds are a good match. My dad and your uncle are sworn brothers, so my parents won't object to us being together." "Most importantly, once we're together, we'll keep it a secret and not tell anyone else."

As she spoke, Wu Siduo's eyes gleamed with excitement, and her face flushed as she said, "Just imagine, when everyone gets together, I'll secretly call you away, and we'll have a little chat behind everyone else's back, right next to each other. How exciting would that be!"

what?
Nan Liujing stared in disbelief, completely dumbfounded, and turned to stone on the spot.

This is this...

Nan Liujing subconsciously rehearsed the scene in his mind, and his body trembled instantly.

He quickly shook his head: "That's not good."

"Why?" Wu Siduo asked, puzzled. "Anyway, I don't mind if you have other women."

Gu Yue was greatly shocked and chose to continue to observe.

Nan Liujing looked at the moon and said, "I'm not a one-sided person. I like you, Xinglan, Yuanen, Na'er, and Guyue, but I prefer to pursue them in a fair and just way. That's why I told you last time that I would confess to you when the time was right. This secretive method is really unfair to you. It's like being a thief. If we're going to be in love, let's just be open and honest about it."

"Why all this nonsense?" Wu Siduo retorted, and then, to Nan Liujing's surprise, she stood up, cupped his head, and kissed him.

The whole thing is fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Their lips met; the boy was bewildered, the girl blushed, yet they were unusually bold.

The kiss gradually became more passionate.

The sweet, alluring scent of a young girl wafted from Nan Liujing's nostrils.

A full half minute passed before Wu Siduo finally raised her blushing face and said seriously, "I know my place. Although I met you first, we spent the least time together, so I guess you like me the least. If we're really going to be fair and just, I guess I'll be the last one to confess. I'm too lazy to wait that long."

"Now that we're intimate, let's just leave it at that. We'll consider ourselves a couple in private."

"..." Nan Liujing's eyes widened. No, you tiger woman?

Oh, the White Tiger Martial Soul, it really is a tiger woman.

Wu Siduo coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, among us girls, Gu Yue is probably the hardest to pursue. What are you planning to do?"

Gu Yue suddenly twitched her ears, eavesdropping intently.

He even forgot the hostility he had just felt towards Wu Siduo.

Nan Liujing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Wu Siduo asked curiously. "She's your junior sister. You've known each other for a long time, haven't you? You should be more familiar with each other."

Nan Liujing said in a low voice, "Gu Yue is sometimes close to me, and sometimes distant. To be honest, I don't like this feeling, but I can understand. After all, she is able to help a group of scientists improve their research on soul spirits at her current age. But I don't think she did it on her own. It's most likely related to her family. And her family also has special ideas about the Spirit Pagoda. Strangely, Gu Yue's family has not accepted the teacher's invitation to join the Spirit Pagoda so far. It's really too mysterious."

"Perhaps, it will be a difficult path to get Gu Yue to truly open her heart and accept me, and to complete this path, I must stand at the highest point in this world by force."

Wu Siduo looked bewildered: "Her family can't possibly be stronger than the Spirit Pagoda, right? You and Gu Yue together, isn't that just a powerful alliance?"

"Who can say for sure?" Nan Liujing smiled and said calmly, "Being able to surpass the Spirit Pagoda in soul research, I even suspect that her family is a soul beast in disguise. Otherwise, even if they are a reclusive family, there would be no need for them to be so mysterious."

Gu Yue's pupils contracted, and a rare look of panic appeared on his face.

"Are you making up stories here?" Wu Siduo was amused, her chest heaving. "Land-based soul beasts are almost extinct, with only the forbidden area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest remaining. The Spirit Pagoda has also built a fortress there, so there's no way soul beasts could have escaped. How could it be a soul beast in disguise?"

Nan Liujing said helplessly, "Of course I know this guess is mindless, but only this guess can explain why Gu Yue is sometimes close to me and sometimes distant. I feel that she has been restraining something."

Wu Siduo paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If Gu Yue really is a spirit beast in disguise, then wouldn't she be our sworn enemy?" As she spoke, Wu Siduo's eyes changed, "A sworn enemy? Right, we humans have a sworn enemy with spirit beasts, could that be why she's so wary?"

Nan Liujing retorted, "You said I was making up a story, but you immediately got into it yourself."

Wu Siduo crossed her arms and chuckled, "Then let me ask you, if Gu Yue is truly a soul beast, then at that point, whose side will you help?"

Gu Yue hid in the shadows, his expression turning serious.

For Wu Siduo, this was an interesting topic, but for her, it was extremely important.

"To be precise, I'm directly helping this planet, and indirectly helping humans and soul beasts."

Gu Yue was taken aback, and Wu Siduo asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Nan Liujing: "The world we live in has begun to collapse. There is only one way to save it: to give birth to another god. Use the power of the god to restore the living space of the soul beasts and let them recuperate. Now that we have the soul spirit system, hunting soul beasts can naturally be restrained or even prohibited. Then use the power of the god to improve the foundation of the planet and urge humanity to leave our home planet and explore outer space. The vast universe has inexhaustible resources. That is the right path."

"I choose to help this planet because it is the shared home of humans and soul beasts. It has nothing to do with Gu Yue's identity."

Wu Siduo never expected her boyfriend to say that: "But the realm of gods no longer exists."

"The old realm of gods is gone. Let us create a new one!"

Nan Liujing stood up, his dark blue eyes flashing with a thunderous aura, and a thunder god mark, invisible to others, appeared on his forehead.

Wu Siduo stared blankly at him. In the shadows, Gu Yue quietly left, his expression no longer serious.
