Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 24: A Promise is Made, the Beauty Departs

At this moment, Qianmo felt empty inside, his mind filled with memories of the past three years with Gu Yuena.

They trained together, studied together, ate together, and went shopping together. He even bought her beautiful jewelry and interesting gifts.

Although Qianmo still doesn't know why Gu Yuena has been following him around for three years.

As he pondered, Qianmo realized he couldn't bear to part with Gu Yuena, so he decided to take the initiative. He turned over, stared intently at Gu Yuena, and asked, word by word.

"What are your plans after you go back?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena paused for a moment before replying in a cool tone, "It depends on the family's arrangements."

"Forget about the family's arrangements," Qian Mo eagerly extended the invitation, "In six months, the family wants me to participate in the Shrek Academy's inner court assessment. Will you come with me?"

Having studied in the Holy Angel Family for a long time, Gu Yuena naturally knew Shrek Academy well. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm not sure if my family will let me go."

"Going there won't hurt, and you'll get resources too. Come with me, okay?" Qian Mo grabbed Gu Yuena's small hand, his eyes meeting hers earnestly. He was determined to keep Gu Yuena by his side.

Gu Yuena looked away, her heart filled with turmoil. She struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she stopped struggling and remained silent, her eyes filled with confusion.

Qian Mo gripped Gu Yuena's small hand tightly. Gu Yuena glanced at Qian Mo, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes. She knew that she and Qian Mo were not suited to have any deeper interaction, but...

"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Yuena finally softened and agreed softly.

Qian Mo suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. He excitedly pulled Gu Yuena into his arms and said domineeringly in her ear, "I mean what I say. I want to see you at the gate of Shrek Academy in six months."

Enveloped by the divine and sacred masculine aura, Gu Yuena blushed from her face to her neck, her heart pounding wildly. Her shyness was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, delicate and beautiful.

"I will definitely come, can you let go first?" Gu Yuena said, her head lowered, trying to suppress her embarrassment.

Qianmo reluctantly let go, but his "pig's trotter" (referring to his penis) clung to Gu Yuena's hand.

Gu Yuena didn't care about these things. With her other hand, she took out a pendant from her bosom. It was made of pure silver with layers of fine patterns and scales the size of pigeon eggs, and handed it to Qian Mo.

"Take this pendant; it could save your life in a critical moment."

Is this the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale? Qian Mo held the silver scale pendant in her hand, examining it closely. She discovered that the scale itself wasn't a perfect oval; one side was oval, while the other side curved upwards, making it resemble a small shield. There were four layers of patterns on it, overlapping and creating a three-dimensional effect. The ends of the patterns all curved upwards, and even a slight ray of light shining on the scale would give it a three-dimensional appearance.

Qianmo took off the red cross pendant from her neck and put on the silver scale pendant. Looking at the cross pendant in her palm, she said with emotion, "My mother has worn this pendant since I was born. It has been with me for nine years. Now I give it to you. I hope that during my absence, it can accompany you in my place."

Qian Mo held the cross pendant in his hand, wrapped it around Gu Yuena's neck, and gently lifted her smooth silver hair. The strands of hair brushed against the tip of Qian Mo's nose, making his heart itch.

After putting the cross pendant on Gu Yuena's wrist, Qian Mo instructed her, "This pendant has been modified by Elder Kong and me into a level nine defensive soul tool called Angel's Protection. It can help you withstand three attacks from Title Douluo-level opponents. Moreover, it contains my divine aura, which can help you distinguish between good and evil and dispel evil spirits."

"I hope it can help you avoid all danger, Na'er!"

……

The next morning, Qianmo slowly opened her sleepy eyes on the balcony. The crisp chirping of birds filled her ears, and morning dew clung to her eyelashes and hair. A blanket had been placed over her body without her noticing.

Qian Mo turned his head and looked around. The beauty who had held his hand tightly last night was nowhere to be seen. Only a storage ring remained, lying quietly on the recliner.

"Sigh, every goodbye is just the prelude to a better reunion!"

Qian Mo stretched, picked up the storage ring, glanced inside, and was immediately filled with surprise.

"Damn, Na'er actually has some left over."

"This is good stuff! This is really good stuff!"

Just then, Le Jing came downstairs and saw Qian Mo fiddling with a storage ring in the living room. Curious, she asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning? Hey, your clothes...it looks like you've been lying outside all night!"

Qianmo clutched the storage ring, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Na'er is gone."

"Let's go? Where are we going?" Le Jing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Qian Mo meant.

Qianmo touched the silver dragon's reverse scale pressed against her chest and said in a complicated tone, "She was picked up by her family."

"Huh?" Le Jing was stunned, and subconsciously said, "How is that possible? No outsiders have come to our clan's territory recently!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Qianmo shrugged and said helplessly, "Na'er's family was quite impolite; they secretly took Na'er away."

"What? Your grandfather was still in the clan's territory yesterday and didn't notice any outsiders sneaking in?" Le Jing frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"Na'er comes from a reclusive family; perhaps there's a Limit Douluo in her family who's skilled in spatial manipulation!"

Qianmo knew that if Di Tian made a move, he could take Gu Yuena away from under Le Zheng'en's nose without anyone noticing.

Le Jing's expression gradually darkened. She turned to Le Zhengyu, who had just come downstairs, and called out, "Zhengyu, go check on Na'er's room."

"Ah, oh!" Still half asleep, Yue Zhengyu didn't know what was happening, but he still subconsciously obeyed his father's instructions.

After a while, Le Zhengyu rushed downstairs in a panic and shouted, "Dad, something bad has happened! Na'er is missing, and all her clothes and jewelry are gone from her room too!"

Le Jing's expression grew increasingly grim; he was furious about Gu Yuena's family trespassing on the Holy Angel family's territory and Gu Yuena's abrupt departure.

In particular, back then, he had defied public opinion to give Gu Yuena the treatment of a core member and nurture her. Now that she had run away without a word, three years of investment might have gone down the drain. How could he explain this to his family?

Qianmo took in Le Jing's ashen face and comforted him, "Uncle, don't worry, Na'er is not an ungrateful person. She left us something to repay the kindness of these three years."

After saying that, Qianmo took something out of her storage ring and showed it to Lejing.

A piece of blue jade, about the size of a thousand-palm, shaped like a pebble, and as clear as crystal.
