Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 130 Reunion with Na'er, Gu Yue and Na'er's Battleground

"Na'er!"

Gazing at the stunning silver-clad figure on the distant lake, Zhao Tao called out enthusiastically, his voice clear and urgent.

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, the silver-haired girl in the distance was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Zhao Tao.

The silver-haired girl shifted slightly. Her fingers tightened abruptly around the oar, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

"Brother Zhao Tao, is that you?"

Looking at Zhao Tao in the distance, Na'er's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement, and even a faint mist rose from the bottom of her eyes.

"It's me!"

Upon hearing Na'er's words, Zhao Tao responded enthusiastically, waving vigorously at Na'er with a genuine smile on his face.

Just then, Na'er rowed her small boat and docked at the shore of Poseidon Island.

The next moment, Na'er jumped off the boat, her white dress drawing an arc in the air.

She ran quickly to Zhao Tao and, like a fledgling swallow returning to its mother's embrace, threw herself into his arms.

She stretched out her delicate hands, wrapped her arms tightly around Zhao Tao's waist, and buried her cheeks against his chest, feeling the familiar warmth and solidity.

"Na, what are you doing here? Why did you suddenly leave Aolai City back then?"

Gently holding the girl in his arms, inhaling her familiar and pleasant milky scent, Zhao Tao asked a question knowing the answer already.

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't want to leave you, but my family found me, and I have to leave in a hurry."

"As for why I came here, it's a long story. When I returned to my family, I held a special ceremony, and my martial spirit finally awakened."

"After that, my family sent me to Shrek Academy, and I successfully became a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master—the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming."

Na'er threw herself into Zhao Tao's arms, tears streaming down her face, and poured out her story.

"It's been years, brother, I've missed you so much! I wonder how you've been these past few years?"

Looking up, Na'er and Zhao Tao looked at each other and asked curiously.

"I've missed you so much too, Na'er!"

"I've had a pretty good few years. I've been cultivating diligently, achieved some results, and become an inner disciple of Shrek Academy."

"Since you, Na'er, are also studying at Shrek Academy, I believe we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Although he knew Na'er was lying, Zhao Tao understood her predicament and didn't expose her.

Reaching out, he gently wiped away Na'er's tears and stroked her soft cheeks. Zhao Tao tenderly replied, "Yes, brother, we must play together often in the future. Na'er misses your company and all the delicious food you buy!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Na'er burst into laughter through her tears, though tears still clung to her face, making her appear exceptionally touching.

"By the way, brother, who is this older sister next to you?"

Just then, Na'er sniffed, her gaze sweeping over Gu Yue beside Zhao Tao, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and she asked, knowing the answer already:

"I am Gu Yue, your brother's girlfriend."

Upon hearing Na'er's words, Gu Yue, who was standing next to Zhao Tao, smiled slightly and gave a perfectly tactful reply.

Although she and Na'er both understood each other's identities, at this moment, she still cooperated with Na'er, putting on this charade that everyone knew was true.

However, while answering verbally, Gu Yue's mental energy subtly extended like a thin thread, establishing a connection with Na'er's mental energy.

"Na'er, you win. After spending time with Zhao Tao, I've also fallen in love with him. You've won completely."

"Let's call it quits. Whether Zhao Tao chooses you or me, I won't hurt him."

"Furthermore, I've also heard Zhao Tao's wish: that humans and soul beasts, apart from one side completely annihilating the other, can also achieve peace."

"I will stay by his side and research artificial soul spirits to completely end the grudges between humans and soul beasts."

"So you can rest assured, you don't need to be so wary of me. Now, my mindset has changed too."

In a spiritual world that only Gu Yue and Na'er could touch, Gu Yue slowly spoke, her voice carrying a faint sigh.

"Really? Sister Gu Yue, this isn't like you at all!"

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Na'er's sweet voice rang out, tinged with disbelief.

After all, in her impression, Gu Yue had always been proud and resolute, and never easily changed her mind.

"Of course it's true. Just like I didn't understand your changes back then, now I finally understand."

Hearing Na'er's words, Gu Yue's consciousness sighed softly, then said, "Perhaps... this is what you call 'love'! But no matter what, you're right."

"I'm so happy to hear this news!"

"However, Sister Gu Yue, I will absolutely never let go of Brother Zhao Tao!"

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Na'er's consciousness revealed genuine joy, but it quickly hardened.

"Alright, let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue responded with equal confidence, showing no sign of backing down.

The communication in the realm of consciousness seemed to have lasted a long time, but in the real world, it was only a fleeting moment.

After reaching a consensus, Na'er's gaze towards Gu Yue was less hostile, but still full of vigilance.

After all, there's only one brother, and he belongs to me alone. I can't let Sister Gu Yue take him away!

As her childhood sweetheart, how could she possibly lose to someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

"Sister Gu, that's not right! My brother's girlfriend should be me!"

"After all... compared to you, I've been by my brother's side for a long time!"

Thinking of this, Na'er leaned forward, turned to the side and took Zhao Tao's left arm, affectionately rubbing her cheek against his sleeve.

"Hmph, you left without saying goodbye, abandoning Zhao Tao, while I've been by his side all along. You're the one who came after him!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue did not back down. She snorted and stepped forward to grab Zhao Tao's right arm, holding it even tighter than Na'er's, as if to assert her dominance.

"Alright, alright, Gu Yue, Na'er, let's not be so tense. We should unite and love each other, right?"

"Also, Wu Lin, isn't your Grandmaster Zhuo Shi looking for you? Why don't you go back first? Stop being all lovey-dovey here!"

Seeing Gu Yue and Na'er arguing fiercely in front of him, Zhao Tao quickly stopped them and then sent Tang Wulin away.

"Yes, Brother Tao."

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief. He ran to another small boat on the lake, steered it, and fled as if escaping.

With Tang Wulin's departure, only Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Na'er remained on the shore.

"Gu Yue, Na'er...."

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Zhao Tao finally spoke his mind:
