Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 231 Loyalty to Xiong Jun, Cherish it, One Glance at the Needle!
As Gu Yue's voice faded, the room fell into a brief silence.

Xiong Jun stood there stunned for two and a half seconds, his bright yellow eyes darting around.

Looking at Di Tian beside him, Xiong Jun's eyes flashed with a shrewd glint. Compared to staying with Lord Gu Yue, going to King Na'er's side didn't seem so bad...

Now that Lord Guyue has Ditian around, his status is definitely lower than Ditian's. There's no way he could surpass Ditian and become Guyue's number one general.

But it's different for King Na'er. Right now, everything is in disarray and they're short of manpower. If he were to go there now, wouldn't that be like a bear following a dragon in the human world?
He did consider replacing Di Tian and becoming the Beast God of the Soul Beast Realm.

But Di Tian's Dragon God Claw shattered his dream of becoming a beast god.

However, his original intention remained unchanged, and he still wanted to rebel against Di Tian. But as time went by, before he could become the Beast God, the "dynasty" of the Soul Beast race perished...

"Damn Huo Yuhao." Thinking of this, Xiong Jun cursed inwardly. When he first met this kid, he felt that he was not a good person. The three-eyed little golden lion that he had watched grow up died because of him.

But just as he was about to kill Huo Yuhao, he was sent flying by Di Tian's claw.

Sure enough, with the advent of this Spirit Pagoda, the Soul Beast race perished even faster.

With the appearance of his lord, his idea of ​​becoming the Beast God changed to vying to become the number one general. Mainly, facing his lord with god-level cultivation, he saw no hope of becoming the Beast God due to the huge difference in strength.

Therefore, finding an opportunity to break through his own cultivation level and revive the soul beast race became his short-term goals, as well as continuing his rebellion to replace Emperor Tian's position as the number one general...

"My lord, wouldn't it be inappropriate to send Xiong Jun?" At this moment, Di Tian glanced at Xiong Jun and said hesitantly.

He knew very well that Xiong Jun was inherently rebellious, and in his view, loyalty that wasn't absolute was absolute disloyalty.

"It's alright, I will make my own decision." Gu Yue waved her hand lightly, her gaze fixed on Xiong Jun with a deep look: "And I believe in Xiong Jun's loyalty, what do you say, Xiong Jun?"

“You’re such a good judge of character!”

Xiong Jun's expression turned serious, and he solemnly said, "Your subordinate is absolutely loyal and guarantees to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty!"

At the same time, Xiong Jun glanced at Di Tian furtively, realizing that Di Tian was trying to cut off his path to progress!

Once he reaches King Na'er's side, he will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive for the opportunity to advance his cultivation level. Perhaps he will even have the chance to become a god in the future!

Why must the Beast God be Di Tian, ​​and not him?
I don't know!

Although Di Tian's Dragon God Claw is powerful, his Dark Gold Terror Claw is not without its advantages!
As he thought about it, Xiong Jun felt the same drive he had when he rebelled back then, and it was as if the passion in his body had been rekindled.

At this moment, Xiong Jun seemed to have become a god, his brain connected to rebellion, replacing thought, and he was determined to surpass Di Tian.

Moreover, in his view, based on what Lord Guyue had said before, he was going to infiltrate King Na'er's side, so he would have two identities, and he would have the opportunity to choose whether to be loyal to King Na'er or to Lord Guyue.

When the time comes, he can first investigate whether or not to go all in on King Na'er.

"This... is fine." Seeing that his lord had made his decision, Di Tian said nothing more, only glancing at Xiong Jun slightly. "Xiong Jun, I believe you won't defect, right?"

"Di Tian, ​​what are you saying? My loyalty is beyond question! Don't you dare slander me in front of the Lord, or I'll report you for defamation!" Xiong Jun said somewhat excitedly, his expression showing no sign of feigned emotion.

At the same time, having been suppressed by Di Tian for too long and suffering under Di Tian's oppression for so long, he has begun to lean towards Na'er.

"Alright, now that the plan is finalized, you may all leave." Gu Yue said softly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"Oh, right, Di Tian, ​​don't forget to keep an eye on Cai Yue'er from the Sea God Pavilion. Make sure she knows what serious consequences are." Gu Yue added as if she had just remembered something.

"Yes, sir!" Di Tian bowed slightly, a hint of joy flashing in his dark golden dragon eyes.

He has endured for so many years, and now he is finally going to follow his lord in striking hard.

It is believed that his dream of traveling in space in the future is getting closer and closer to being realized.

Xiong Jun, who was standing to the side, also bowed and then turned to leave with Di Tian, ​​but his bright yellow eyes kept darting around.

"If I decide to follow Queen Na'er, what should I give her as a gift for our first meeting?" Xiong Jun pondered, rubbing his chin.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. "In the human world, there's a saying about donning a yellow robe. When the weather gets cooler, I, Old Bear, can present one to Queen Na'er..."

After the two left, Gu Yue stretched out her slender fingers and touched her brow, a hint of weariness appearing on her cool and proud face.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, a hint of shame and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she clenched her teeth.

Just after dinner, Na'er said she couldn't hold her liquor and was carried away by Jiang Xiu in a daze. Before leaving, Mingming, who was on Jiang Xiu's back, gave her a meaningful look, which Na'er thought was a provocation!
"Foolish Na'er, you have angered the noble dragon!"

Gu Yue snorted coldly. She had made up her mind. She would not only take Jiang Xiu away, but also take him away in front of Na'er, so that Na'er could see it with her own eyes!

……

Under the cover of night, bright lights shone.

The crowds on the streets did not decrease; on the contrary, they increased. Young couples walked hand in hand, laughing and joking, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Xiu carried Na'er, whose pretty face was flushed, and strolled through the surging crowd.

"Hmm~." Realizing she had already left the hotel, Na'er quietly opened her beautiful eyes, her red lips slightly parted, pretending to wake up groggily.

"Boss, where are we?"

"On the way back," Jiang Xiu replied softly, then said gently, "Don't drink so much next time." "Hehe, I was just a little dizzy just now, but I'm sober now." Recalling Gu Yue's expression earlier, Na'er chuckled, secretly pleased.

"Oh~, now that you're awake, why don't you come down for a walk?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked jokingly.

"Ouch! I don't think I'm fully awake yet, my head is a little dizzy again," Na'er said softly, covering her head with her hand. "I'm going to get dizzy again."

Then, Na'er nestled her little head against Jiang Xiu's back, leaving only soft breathing sounds.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiu simply smiled slightly.

He's my little brother, so I'll just spoil him.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at a small bridge near the Body Sect. After crossing the bridge, they would reach the street designated by Leng Yaozhu for their Body Sect.

Perhaps because it was the Magpie Bridge Festival, there were many young couples holding lanterns on the bridge. The bright and warm light made the surroundings incredibly cozy, as if one were immersed in it.

"The Magpie Bridge Festival..." Na'er looked at the scene before her, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, and she murmured, "Boss, will we always be together... cultivating together in the future..."

Seemingly realizing her wording was inappropriate, Na'er nervously added a sentence.

“Of course,” Jiang Xiu said without hesitation. “Didn’t we agree that once everything settled down, I would take you to see all the mountains and rivers of this world?”

"Mmm." Na'er nodded emphatically. "I hope every day is as wonderful as today."

"It will happen, happiness will happen, and good things will happen," Jiang Xiu chuckled.

Na'er's beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons as she murmured softly to herself, "Actually, I cherish every day we spend together."

Then, Na'er continued to snuggle against Jiang Xiu's back, her lips curving upwards like a little fox.

She has an elder brother, but what does Gu Yue have?

Just as Jiang Xiu reached the center of the bridge, lanterns were released from the lake below. In an instant, lanterns flew up all around, drifting into the sky, creating a beautiful picture.

……

Outside Shrek Academy.

Yuan Enzhen stepped out of the space, his face calm.

This time he had seen through Shrek Academy's true colors. When he returned, he asked Jiang Xiu to find a suitable opportunity to bring Ye Hui out of Shrek Academy.

He no longer expected Shrek Academy to handle matters concerning the Demon Realm.

“But what should we do about the Night Glow Soul…” Yuan Enzhen frowned slightly.

Given his current status, it's impossible for him to contact Yuanen Yehui directly. The best way is for him to obtain a suitable soul spirit and then hand it over to Yuanen Yehui through Jiang Xiu.

Or perhaps he would pay for it and then ask Jiang Xiu to take Yuanen Yehui to the Spirit Pagoda to obtain the soul spirit.

"Both plans are feasible." Yuan Enzhen thought for a moment and then made his decision.

Looking back at Shrek Academy, Yuanen Zhentian rummaged through his storage soul tool and then pulled out a black hood.

The issue of Yuan Enhui's resources has been resolved, but he must teach Cai Yue'er a lesson she won't forget.

Just then, a tall figure also arrived at the outskirts of Shrek Academy from a distance. Yuanen Zhentian noticed him and casually glanced at the person.

"Why does Cai Yue'er keep staying at Shrek Academy and not fulfilling the Lord's orders? This is putting me in a difficult position," Di Tian muttered to himself as he walked from the hotel to outside Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Di Tian suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, and then he slightly raised his eyes to look.

At a distance of thirty meters, Di Tian and Yuan Enzhen's eyes suddenly met.

"Huh!" Yuan Enzhentian exclaimed softly.

"Hmm?" Di Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This person seems very approachable." For some reason, Di Tian and Yuan Enzhen thought to themselves at the same time.

They exchanged glances and sensed a harmonious feeling between them.

It was almost as if they had known each other for a long time...

After a brief pause, Yuan Enzhentian nodded first and then walked away into the distance.

He had other matters to attend to, so he couldn't stay here any longer.

Di Tian paused slightly in place and slowly shook his head.

He's lived for so many years and seen so many people; it's normal for him to have a misconception now and then.

They might never see each other again after this.

Of course, if fate allows, we will meet again...
