Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

"This is where?"

What happened to me just now?

Hu Liena looked around in confusion, a sense of doubt creeping into her heart.

All she remembers now is that Gu Yi saved her and led her out of the Soul Beast Forest.

After that, she had a very vague memory. She only felt dizzy and lightheaded. Although she did not lose consciousness, everything she saw was very blurry.

During that period, she basically relied on her willpower to get through it.

She lost consciousness when she felt a warm current flowing through her body.

Now, although I still feel a bit weak all over, I feel much better and my thoughts are clearer.

But the dim surroundings and the unfamiliar room filled Hu Liena with doubt.

She was very hungry and thirsty, and had no idea how long she had been unconscious.

Gulu!

Her stomach growled again.

Hu Liena, suppressing her hunger, slowly climbed out of bed.

She pushed open the door and went into the living room.

"Hmm? Gu Yi?"

On the sofa in the living room, Gu Yi was sitting upright, meditating and cultivating.

The table in front of him was covered with various foods and water, as if it were waiting for her.

"Ok?"

"you're awake?"

"How are you feeling now? Would you like something to eat?"

Hu Liena's voice interrupted Gu Yi's cultivation. He turned to look at Hu Liena, who was in a daze, and asked her a question.

"okay."

Hu Liena responded and quickly walked to the sofa and sat down.

The food in front of her consisted mostly of fruit; there was no staple food prepared.

The main problem was that Gu Yi didn't know when she would wake up, so he wasn't prepared.

Hu Liena picked up an apple and slowly began to eat it.

The apple was so sweet and delicious that tears of joy welled up in her eyes the moment she took that first bite.

She really thought she was going to die!

She never imagined that she could be eating fruit like this, sitting on the sofa, being quietly watched.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Hu Liena's sudden tears startled Gu Yi.

"I...I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Gu Yi."

Hu Liena let her tears fall and looked at Gu Yi with sincere gratitude.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 35% favorability from Hu Liena. As a reward, the age of all soul bones in the host's body will increase by 10,000 years, and the age of all soul rings will increase by 1,000 years."

As the system notification sounded, Gu Yi's soul power surged once again, reaching level 73... level 74... level 75.

His soul power temporarily remained at level 75.

But Gu Yi didn't have the mind to worry about these things right now. He hurriedly grabbed a tissue from the table and handed it to Hu Liena.

"You're welcome. I just happened to be passing by. You should wipe your tears first."

Gu Yi never expected that he would actually encounter such a thing again.

Unfortunately, when he arrived, he was so focused on rescuing Hu Liena that he didn't notice who those four points of light were.

"Why did you suddenly end up in Sunset Forest? I remember you were only level 55, right? Are you already level 60?"

"

Also, were you attacked at the time?

This was what Gu Yi was curious about. In his eyes, Hu Liena had no reason to go to Sunset Forest at all.

"Elder Ju only asked me to do something, it's not important."

"But I've already memorized the names of those who attacked me."

"One day, I will make them pay!"

Hu Liena did not directly say that Ning Rongrong was behind it. She knew very well that even if she said it now, what difference would it make?

Although she is the Pope's disciple, Ning Rongrong's status is not low either. Even if she speaks out, Bibi Dong probably won't do anything.

Moreover, Hu Liena's revenge is something she will naturally take herself; why would she entrust it to someone else?

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. You're still very weak, so get some rest."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Do you need me to take you back to the Spirit Hall? Elder Ghost and the others must be very worried about you right now."

As he spoke, Gu Yi looked out the window. It was already late at night, and Hu Liena hadn't returned for almost a day. Yan must be going crazy with worry.

"Okay, then you can take me there."

Hu Liena nodded in response.

Although she actually wanted to chat with Gu Yi a little longer, it was indeed getting late, and it was time to go back.

Otherwise, my brother might worry.

"Then let's go. I've arranged a carriage at the school gate. I'll take you there."

After saying that, Gu Yi stood up, helped Hu Liena walk slowly down from the dormitory, and led her toward the school gate.

The starry sky is still beautiful tonight, and the bright moon is like a beacon, illuminating the path for the two of them.

"Gu Yi, will you still go to watch the qualifiers tomorrow?"

As the two were walking slowly, Hu Liena suddenly asked a question.

"Probably not. Looking at those things doesn't mean anything to me."

"What's wrong? Did you make some new discovery?"

Gu Yi shook his head and asked in return.

"Hmm, I spotted someone while I was looking at Shrek Academy today."

"His name is Tang San. He is a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with a control-type ability. Although his soul power is low, his leadership skills are quite good."

"Most importantly, he seems to possess something special."

"Even I can't see his movements clearly, and his hands can actually directly block the soul skills of Blazing Fire Academy."

"It looks mysterious, just like you."

Hu Liena seemed to have started talking, and went on and on.

"is it?"

"What? You also sensed a threat from him?"

"Or... do you have feelings for him?"

Gu Yi smiled dismissively and asked again.

"No!"

"He gave me a sinister feeling. Rather than a threat, I felt more disgust towards him."

"As for the goodwill you mentioned, that's even more impossible!"

Hu Liena flatly rejected Gu Yi's idea, her attitude being very firm.

"Ah!"

"is it?"

"Then why did you ask me if I was going to watch the qualifiers? Are you trying to make me hate him too?"

Gu Yi was amused by her appearance and wanted to tease her in return.

"of course not!"

"I...I just want to spend more time with you, is there a problem with that?"

"Or are you afraid that your Zhuqing will find out?"

Seeing the mischievous grin on Gu Yi's face, Hu Liena was a little annoyed. She pretended to be joking and said what was on her mind.

She appeared very calm, but inside she was extremely nervous.

"Hahaha……"

"Of course, I'm terrified of Zhu Qing finding out."

“But I’m more afraid of Yan finding out. If that kid knew I went to watch the qualifiers with you, he’d be furious.”

Gu Yi had no idea what Hu Liena was thinking and assumed she was joking, so he replied in a joking manner as well.

But Hu Liena wouldn't have it. She stopped and pinned Gu Yi against a giant tree, staring intently into his eyes.

"I'm not kidding you. What if I really wanted to take you away from Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Will you choose her or me?"

Chapter 128 You Will Never Be a Burden

"Choose her."

Without any hesitation, Gu Yi gave this answer almost subconsciously.
