Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 161 The joys of this place are not to be told to outsiders.

Night always seems to fall much earlier at sea than on land.

After a fierce battle of Three Kingdoms Kill, everyone went to the not-so-large balcony.

As the sun gradually sank into the orange sea, a cool sea breeze swept across the clouds, which, pierced by the blazing sunlight, resembled burning flames. Countless golden dust fell, staining the sea surface and giving the water a strange, layered appearance.

"Is this the sea at dusk?"

Yuan Enhui had never been to the seaside before, and she stared wide-eyed into the distance.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Na’er made a decisive move. “If you and the other sisters like it, Yuan’en, my brother and I can ask you to go to the beach to watch the sunset anytime.”

"She's so capable..." Nan Liujing exclaimed sincerely. "With a sister like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
Yuan Enhui was very perceptive and easily understood the meaning behind Na'er's words. She smiled and said, "Why don't we all come to the beach as a group when we have time in the future?"

Na'er's eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly as she extended the back of her hand. "In that case, let's make a pact that every year from now on, the six of us must watch the sunset together."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Na'er.

The hazy sunlight streamed onto her delicate and beautiful face, the sea breeze tousled her hair, and her smile was radiant and unforgettable.

No one spoke, but as if by unspoken agreement, they all chose to place their palms on the surface.

Even Gu Yue had a faint smile on her lips.

Nan Liujing's hand is the largest and also the one at the top.

Attention passengers!

Suddenly, the announcement rang out in every cabin, attracting the attention of countless resting passengers.

"Welcome aboard the Star Luo ocean liner. Tonight, we will be hosting a grand banquet in the banquet hall. We cordially invite all guests to dress in their finest attire. In addition to a dance performance, we will also be having some fun games. We hope that this long journey home will foster lasting friendship between our two continents."

As soon as the voice fell, the Starship came alive with activity. Thousands of passengers quickly got to work, happily dressing themselves in front of the full-length mirrors.

Meanwhile, in Nan Liujing's cabin, everyone blinked and looked at him.

We had just decided to go night fishing together tonight, but now we've run into a party.

"Shhhhhh!"

Nan Liujing made a move with lightning speed.

Soon, each of the five women had a specially made sea fishing rod in their hands.

Everyone stared blankly at the fishing rod.

Wu Siduo couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going night fishing instead of going to the dance party?"

Gu Yue recalled the scene of Wu Siduo and Nan Liujing dancing alone in the garden that night. She gripped her fishing rod tightly and said calmly, "There will definitely be a lot of people at the banquet. I don't like places that are too noisy. Let's go night fishing instead."

Yuan Enhui shrugged: "I don't have a dress, and I can't dance."

Ye Xinglan calmly said, "I can wield a sword, but I absolutely cannot dance."

Wu Siduo opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. Since no one else was going, she didn't know what to say.

“Actually, we can dance this ourselves, and we don’t have to worry about being unable to dance it and embarrassing ourselves,” Nan Liujing said quietly.

"???"

Five pairs of eyes looked at them.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "There are games at the ball, so we can play some games too."

Okay, after we start night fishing, the person who catches the last fish must dance a song by themselves, with no outsiders watching, just the six of us.

how about it? "

“I agree.” Na’er followed blindly.

Ignoring Na'er, Gu Yue and the others exchanged glances, and surprisingly thought it was alright.

Since that's the case, everyone simply chose to accept it.

The six of them walked out of the cabin together.

As soon as they came out, the group bumped into Xia Zheng Leng.

"you?!"

Xia Zheng's cold, beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise. She never expected that several girls would suddenly emerge from her beloved great-grandson's cabin, and that these girls even had slightly disheveled hair.

The five women were taken aback. After all, women understand women better, and they quickly noticed the strangeness in Xia Zheng's cold eyes. Their pretty faces couldn't help but blush.

Nan Liujing did not explain, but sincerely praised, "If my great-grandfather were here, he would surely be amazed by your attire."

As the leader of the exchange team from the Spirit Transmission Academy, Xia Zhengleng was obliged to attend the banquet, so she wore a moon-silver dress.

Her features weren't stunningly beautiful, but they possessed a perfect balance of delicate beauty and gentle grace. Coupled with her powerful cultivation, she maintained her youthful appearance and slender figure, exuding a refined and gentle beauty that had been tempered by time. Her temperament was exceptionally elegant, and one could be drawn to her without even realizing it.

Xia Zheng's cold eyes revealed a hint of tenderness. Although they had been married for almost a century, their relationship remained as stable as ever.

"wrong!"

Xia Zheng suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Gu Yue and the others in astonishment, "Why are you carrying fishing rods to a dance party?"

The five women all turned to look at the guy who had come up with the idea.

Nan Liujing said with a smile, "We plan to go night fishing on the deck."

Xia Zheng felt a little dazed.

Am I out of touch?

Are young people these days so unconventional?
"It's getting late, you should go now." Nan Liujing coughed twice.

Xia Zheng gave Nan Liujing a strange look, which made the young man feel uneasy.

"I'll head over first then, you guys... go fishing."

Xia Zheng left after saying a few words.

Gu Yue said quietly, "I regret going night fishing."

"Agreed." (Four women x4)
Nan Liujing looked at Na'er in disbelief.

Sister, you've changed.

...

The cruise ship cleaved through the deep sea, leaving ripples that lingered for a long time. As the sun completely sank below the horizon, the lights in the banquet hall shone through the portholes, providing some illumination to the deck.

Inside the hall, thousands of people were conversing elegantly, with the constant clinking of glasses accompanied by refined music, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

The sea breeze was gentler, and it felt incredibly comfortable on my face.

Another giant ship in the distance also appears to be holding a banquet; the two behemoths are thousands of meters apart, gazing at each other from afar.

"Ouch!"

Na'er sat on the deck railing, cupped her hands in front of her mouth, making a microphone shape, and adorably looked out at the distant sea.

Wu Siduo, Yuan Enyehui, and Ye Xinglan stayed by Nan Liujing's side, adjusting the bait.

Gu Yue replied telepathically, her face expressionless, "Don't you think you're being silly?"

"Why would I be silly?" Na'er grinned, revealing her teeth. "My own happiness is more important than anything else. So, Gu Yue, can you be as happy as I am?"

A knowing blow!
Gu Yue's face froze. She was about to retort that she had the great responsibility of reviving the soul beasts on her shoulders, unlike you who play around so carefree.

"what!"

Suddenly, Ye Xinglan cried out, "Nan Liujing!"

Gu Yue turned her head and saw Nan Liujing laughing loudly, seemingly having smeared bait on his hand and mischievously smearing it on Ye Xinglan's face.

Ye Xinglan instantly summoned the Star God Sword and began her pursuit with overwhelming force.

Wu Siduo and Yuan Enyehui cheered Ye Xinglan on enthusiastically, creating a very joyful atmosphere.

Gu Yue's eyes widened in surprise.

"Last time, my brother and I went to Devil's Island. There, the energy of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life remained. The life energy attracted the soul beasts of the nearby sea, but the destructive energy blocked them. In the end, hundreds of thousands of sea soul beasts obtained the life energy, which enhanced their bloodlines. Can you guess who helped them?"

Na'er swayed her fair, slender legs, her deep purple eyes fixed on Nan Liujing, who was evading Ye Xinglan's pursuit, with boundless tenderness.

Gu Yue remained silent.

“It’s my brother,” Na’er transmitted her voice to herself. “He has gained the respect of many, many sea spirit beasts. As a human, he could have ignored them or even manipulated destructive energy to attack them. After all, they are hundreds of thousands of high-quality materials for inheriting soul spirits. But he didn’t do that. He said that humans and soul beasts are both part of this world. It is difficult for humans to be friends with soul beasts, but coexistence is not impossible. It’s just that our current strength is insufficient to maintain a balance.”

Gu Yue said quietly, "Can I take this as you explicitly pointing fingers at me?"

"Hmm." Na'er immediately admitted her feelings.

Gu Yue crossed her arms over her chest and let out a pleasant laugh.

Na'er, confused, asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Yue smiled faintly, "I knew about his attitude towards soul beasts before you did."

"Impossible!" Na'er exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible."

"It's just that I know the attitude is bad..." Gu Yue added in her mind.

A moment later, Nan Liujing, his face covered in bait, stood in front of the women, looking as if he had fallen into a latrine.

"Pfft."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud. Night fell, and the sky turned a deep blue.

Nan Liujing flicked his right hand, and the Panlong Staff appeared, as thick as a bowl.

The Thunder Dragon Soul Coiling Dragon Staff, which instilled fear in the younger generation of Douluo Continent, was fitted with a fishing line and hook by him.

The night fishing competition begins.

Everyone threw their floats out in parabolic arcs, and the floats landed in the water, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

Apart from Nan Ryukei who had fished there, no one else had ever come into contact with it.

To everyone's surprise, the first fish to be served was Wu Siduo, who had originally intended to go to the banquet hall.

"I won! I won!"

Wu Siduo's pretty face turned bright red with excitement; it had only been less than half a minute since she cast her line.

When the catch was pulled up, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The fish was about the size of a palm, with its slender body covered in blue specks of light. Under the night sky, it shone with a translucent luster, making it extremely beautiful.

"Brother, what's this fish called?" Na'er asked curiously.

Nan Liujing clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "This is a Starlight Spotted Fish. Although it is not a Soul Beast, it can absorb the power of starlight. It has a good nourishing effect on Soul Masters with the Star attribute. If you sell it, one will cost at least 150,000 Federal Credits."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ye Xinglan.

Her Star God Sword belongs to the Star attribute category.

Ye Xinglan calmly said, "This spotted fish is too small; it hasn't reached the minimum age for consumption."

Clearly, she had eaten it.

Wu Siduo took it off and threw it into the sea without hesitation: "Then let the fish return to the sea."

Gu Yue and Na'er's eyes flickered slightly, and their expressions softened considerably when they looked at Wu Siduo.

Yuan Enhui solemnly said, "In the first round of the competition, Siduo came in first. Let's continue."

Not to be outdone, the giant ape girl threw herself into fishing.

It's said that boys like to compare themselves when they team up, and the winner accepts the loss as their son. Girls are no different; they compare themselves to each other. So, none of them wanted to be in last place. For a moment, these girls, who had never fished before, became incredibly focused, their eyes sharper than those of seasoned anglers who had been fishing for decades.

With the help of specially made bait, Na'er, Ye Xinglan, Yuan Enyehui, and Nan Liujing caught ordinary big fish one after another, cheering and clapping.

Gu Yue stared blankly, muttering, "I actually lost."

Nan Liujing chuckled: "How so?"

Gu Yue said unwillingly, "I promised the loser to dance, and I can't break my promise."

Na'er calmly took out her phone and secretly pressed the record button: "Let's do it."

In her memory, Gu Yue had never danced before, so the embarrassing videos could be used to make fun of her later.

However, just as Na'er was thinking this, Gu Yue made a move.

The sea breeze and waves provide the melody, and right there on the deck, there are no formal dresses, no elegant music, only a young girl dancing alone.

She twirled alone, like a match lit by moonlight; wherever her toes touched the ground, flames rose like fiery lotuses, each step leaving an indelible mark on the deck.

Summoning fire elementals to dance with you naturally attracts everyone's attention.

Even Yuan Enhui and Ye Xinglan, who had the least interest in dancing, were amazed.

Has anyone ever seen this kind of dance?
Na'er stared in disbelief: "No, you really know how?"

"Master, how did I do?"

Nan Liujing crossed his arms, his dark blue eyes filled with amusement, as he admired Gu Yue's dance. Suddenly, the voice of Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng echoed in his mind.

"Well done," Nan Liujing praised.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng chuckled: "So, who's next?"

"I want to see sword dancing."

"clear."

As the giant ship tore through the waves, splashing up millions of water droplets, Gu Yue spread her arms, and blazing fiery wings roared out from behind her, her steps coming to an abrupt halt.

"Clap clap clap."

Looking at Gu Yue, apart from Na'er who had her mouth wide open and looked astonished, everyone else was clapping.

"Cousin Na'er, is the video recording finished?" Gu Yue asked abruptly.

"Ah...I..." Na'er put away her phone guiltily, pretending to be calm, and said, "Sister danced so well, I forgot to record it."

"Really? Don't forget next time." Gu Yue glanced at her indifferently.

"Definitely, definitely." Na'er was covered in sweat.

After Gu Yue played the first piece, the atmosphere became noticeably more lively.

The second round of night fishing began soon.

It took more than ten minutes for the results to come out.

Ye Xinglan successfully secured last place in this round.

The kendo girl covered her forehead in exasperation. Facing her sisters' stares, she said helplessly, "I can't dance. When you guys start laughing later, try to hold it in if you can. If you can't, well, there's nothing I can do about it."

“You can practice swordsmanship,” Nan Liujing suddenly said.

Sword dance?

A glint of inspiration flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes, "Is that alright?"

She tentatively asked everyone.

After receiving permission, Ye Xinglan's expression suddenly turned serious.

The Star God Sword landed on her fair, white hand. The instant she drew the sword, all the surrounding light was drawn towards her, focusing on her graceful and well-proportioned figure, as if she were the only person left in the world. Immediately, she strode forward like a shooting star, the tip of her sword slightly raised, leaving behind delicate star trails, as if the curtain of night had been shattered.

Thrust, cleave, flick, hang, cloud, dot, collapse, intercept.

Each strike, executed with different techniques, leaves an indelible mark under the starlight.

As the sword dance was about to end, Ye Xinglan turned around, and the sword wind surged out. The sword intent contained within it pierced out like rain hitting banana leaves. The moonlight gathered on her body quietly twisted, like broken scales. Every ray was trying its best to bloom with the afterglow until it dimmed, but it still reflected the lingering light of the curtain call and the departure.

Sheathed her sword, Ye Xinglan closed her eyes and stood still for a few seconds, the sword intent on the Star God Sword still resonating with her heart.

"Sorry, I just had a sudden realization."

After a moment, Ye Xinglan opened her sharp eyes and spoke softly.

"Xinglan, have you grasped the essence of the Sword Soul?" Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but ask.

Ye Xinglan smiled and said, "Yes."

Yuan Enhui's eyes were suddenly filled with fighting spirit: "Once we get to land, we'll find an opportunity to spar."

"it is good."

Ye Xinglan was also looking forward to her opponent's fighting spirit. Over this long period of time, they had both benefited greatly from their sparring.

Night fishing continues.

Following Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan, Yuan En Ye Hui, Na Er, and Wu Si Duo all came in last place.

Yuan Enhui couldn't dance, so Nan Liujing resolutely stepped in to help her, leading her in a duet.

Na'er wanted to pretend that she couldn't dance, but Gu Yue coldly exposed her.

Because Na'er had danced solo with Leng Yaozhu before, and her skills were superb.

Na'er was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

When it was finally Wu Siduo's turn, she hadn't even danced yet.

Everyone noticed the problem without prior agreement.

Why is it that the five of them always come in last place? Nan Liujing is always second to last, always coming in at the perfect time.

"I can explain."

Forced to the edge of the railing, Nan Liujing quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Go to sea!"

Five pinkish-white fists slammed down, and Nan Liujing screamed as he fell into the sea.

"What do we do next?" Na'er, who had transformed into a heartless cotton-padded jacket, couldn't help but ask.

"Whoever catches the most fish before the banquet ends will be the eldest sister," Gu Yue said quietly.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and even the gradually heavy waves trembled and fell silent.

Two and a half seconds later.

Yuan Enhui, Na'er, Wu Siduo, and Ye Xinglan all expressed their agreement in unison.

The battle for the order of positions in the harem (scratch that) team is about to begin!
