Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 157 Night Attack
However, everything that was expected did not happen.

Gu Yue simply looked at him quietly, her gaze as cold and indifferent as ever, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

She reached out and pulled Su Qiu up from the ground. She patted the dust off him and said casually, "Get up, the ground is dirty."

Su Qiu was stunned: "Huh?"

This left him somewhat puzzled; what exactly did Gu Yue mean?
Gu Yue turned around, seemingly unaffected by what had just happened, her tone as calm as if discussing the weather: "Are you satisfied with the dance just now?"

Su Qiu became even more uneasy at her nonchalant attitude: "Satisfied."

Gu Yue nodded, seemingly confirming something trivial.

She took a couple of steps away, then stopped, turned her head slightly, and added casually, "If you like it, that's fine. That's all."

At the subsequent banquet, Gu Yue behaved normally.

She sat quietly in her seat, occasionally nodding to the people next to her, her gaze calm and her demeanor proper, as if the incident in the center of the dance floor had never happened.

Su Qiu, however, couldn't calm down at all. The banquet had lost its flavor.

"Hurry up and eat!" A stunningly beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure walked over.

Yuan Enhui said gloatingly, "Hurry up and eat as much of your last meal as possible."

"What do you mean?" Su Qiu immediately sped up her cooking.

Yuan Enhui raised an eyebrow, sat down in the empty seat opposite him, and said lazily, "You're actually going to eat?"

She pointed to Gu Yue not far away: "You don't really think she's alright, do you? If you don't go and coax her now, it'll be over after the banquet."

Su Qiu subconsciously turned her head and, sure enough, met Gu Yue's gaze.

The gaze remained unchanged, but it lingered on him for a moment before casually looking away.

Su Qiu hesitated and said, "It can't be that bad, can it?"

He was certain about Na'er's feelings, but he had no idea about Gu Yue's.

Over the years, Gu Yue's attitude towards him has been ambiguous, often making him feel that the other party likes him.

But each time he came to his senses, he realized that he might not be that important to Gu Yue.

He was, after all, the Silver Dragon King.

And
"I don't know how to coax people."

Yuan En Yehui was completely dumbfounded.

Not buddy.

"So many women are always around you, and you're telling me you don't know how to charm women?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Su Qiu scratched his head: "They've always indulged me since I was little."

Yuan Enhui was silent for three seconds before slowly uttering two words: "Awesome."

"Just wait to die, there's no hope for you." She turned and left.

Everything was normal after the banquet.

Su Qiu went to find the head chef on the ship, who was Makino.

Intuition is still providing warnings.

Perhaps it wasn't because of Gu Yue, but because there was an evil spirit master on the ship.

As Su Qiu arrived at the kitchen, she could smell a rich aroma of food from afar.

Makino, wearing an apron, was busy at the stove, his movements practiced and steady. Seeing Su Qiu enter, he greeted her with a smile, "Hey, Xiao Qiu, how did you know I was going to cook for you?"

"Teacher, you should be more careful in the future. I'm afraid that some evil spirit masters might have infiltrated."

"An evil spirit master?" Mu Ye placed a plate of freshly roasted meat in front of him. "There must be some on the ship."

"With exchanges between the two countries, it goes without saying that the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely send someone to infiltrate."

As Makino skillfully sprinkled spices onto the roasted meat, he casually remarked, "You don't need to worry about the evil spirit masters. There are quite a few powerful individuals secretly following us on this exchange."

"Is that so?" Su Qiu said thoughtfully.

"Bullshit evil spirit masters, none of that matters." He pushed the plate in front of Su Qiu: "Since you're here, I might as well remind you."

Su Qiu ate the barbecue. Although he had just finished a banquet and his stomach was full, he could digest it all in a single breath if he wanted to.

"Get ready, we'll begin practicing the Body Essence Secret Technique tomorrow."

"This ocean is also an excellent place for cultivating one's true form."

"The Body's Secret Technique?" Su Qiu was taken aback. "Start now?"

Makino glanced at him: "What, is there a problem?"

"No, that's not it." Su Qiu scratched his head. "It's just that I've been a bit busy lately."

"Too much to do?" Mu Ye looked at him with a half-smile, his expression meaningful. "Take it easy. You're still young. This is the golden age for cultivating your true form's secret techniques." Although Mu Ye was cooking in the kitchen, he had been keeping an eye on Su Qiu with his spiritual power ever since he boarded the ship.

"With so many beautiful girls on this ship watching you, you might accidentally lose your virginity."

Su Qiu: "?"

"You shameless old man," Su Qiu laughed in exasperation.

After chatting with the teacher for a while, he felt much more relaxed. He turned and left, saying, "Teacher, I'll be going now. See you on deck tomorrow."

Makino waved his hand and continued working without turning his head: "Go, remember what I said, don't lose control while you're on the ship!"

Su Qiu stumbled.

He pushed open the door and walked out of the kitchen. It was already late at night, and the corridor was softly lit. His footsteps echoed in the quiet space.

Back in my room, I quickly washed up.

As night deepened, the sea became calm, with only small waves gently lapping against the hull.

Su Qiu lay in bed, breathing steadily, fast asleep.

Since he gained the ability to cultivate automatically, he has completely let himself go.

Instead of meditating at night, I go to sleep peacefully.

For him, this is an obsession stemming from his past life as a working beast of burden.

Being able to sleep until you naturally wake up is the greatest happiness in life.

This was what he wanted most in his past life.

Now, it has finally come true.

……

Time passes little by little.

After some time, the moonlight outside the window was obscured by a thin cloud, and the lights in the corridor dimmed a bit.

The room was quiet, with only Su Qiu's even breathing audible.

Suddenly, the space trembled slightly.

A tiny ripple appeared on Su Qiu's bed, as if someone had gently touched the surface of water.

The next second, a slender figure appeared silently in the room.

It hangs above Su Qiu.

"Humph!"

Su Qiu suddenly opened her eyes.

"I was prepared for you, you audacious evil spirit. Huh?"

"Gu Yue?"

In the instant he froze, Gu Yue had already landed and sat on his waist.

With her slender, long legs clamped together, she sat as if nailed to him, extremely stable.

She looked down at him, her eyes cold and aloof.

not good!

Su Qiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Gu Yue's eyes, which were completely different from usual.

What kind of eyes were those?

A silvery light flowed slowly deep within his pupils, carrying an indifferent gaze upon all living beings and a supreme divinity.

That wasn't the Gu Yue who quietly stayed by his side on ordinary days.

That is—the Silver Dragon King.

Su Qiu felt a chill run down her back, instantly sobering up and even unconsciously slowing her breathing.

"Gu Yue?" he called out tentatively.

The girl sitting on his waist did not answer immediately, but looked down at him, her silver eyes slightly narrowed, as if scrutinizing him.

Silence fell in the room.

After a long while, Gu Yue tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't call me Gu Yue."

"Call me Queen!"

Su Qiu: "?"

Not sisters.

What's wrong with you?
