A comparison of the two Douluo, starting with Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

[Gu Rong has shown an unprecedentedly tough stance on the issue of hiring.]

His thinking was clear: going to the Linghai Mountains was possible, but unnecessary risks had to be avoided.

Therefore, hiring someone familiar with the mountains would be very suitable.

Yu Xiaogang only said a few words about Gu Rong's persistence and then didn't say anything more.

[Because Yu Xiaogang could sense the other person's concern for him from their words.]

Since my elders care so much about my safety, why should I forcefully refuse their kindness?

It's not a matter of principle anyway.

With Yu Xiaogang agreeing, Xu Aoxin naturally followed suit.

After Xu Aoxin revealed her identity, she inquired carefully about Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong's backgrounds.

[Yu Xiaogang goes without saying; his strength, talent, and intelligence are all top-notch.]

[Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang's every move, even without deliberate display, unintentionally revealed the aura of a chosen one from a powerful force.]

To say that Yu Xiaogang came from an ordinary family is utter nonsense!

[As for Gu Rong, in Xu Aoxin's eyes, he was the kind of protector who accompanied his juniors on their travels and incidentally safeguarded them.]

Although Gu Rong hadn't explained his strength in detail, Xu Aoxin guessed that he was most likely an eighth-level expert.

[An eighth-level expert escorting Yu Xiaogang during his training—this kind of treatment is something only the royal family and a few other powerful forces second only to the royal family could offer in the entire Sun Moon Continent.]

However, Yu Xiaogang is not among these forces.

Of course, this doesn't refer to a person named Yu Xiaogang; it's not about that name or appearance. After all, names and appearances can be changed easily.

But Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is too special.

[If a martial soul like Little Dragon, completely independent of the soul master, were to appear within a major power, the royal family would surely be aware of it.]

But there was nothing there.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, arousing Xu Aoxin's intense curiosity about him.

[Even though Xu Aoxin had already revealed her identity, when she pressed Yu Xiaogang about his true identity, she received two infuriating words in return.]

【"you guess"】

Recalling Yu Xiaogang's smiling face from back then, Xu Aoxin couldn't help but feel indignant.

[I, a princess, have already told you my identity, yet you still say nothing. Is this acceptable?]

But Yu Xiaogang's reasoning is surprisingly reasonable:

"You didn't reveal your identity willingly; we guessed it, and you just blurted it out."

"Since that's the case, you should try to guess our identities first. Once you've guessed fairly well, we'll tell you."

"However, regarding this question, because of its difficulty, I can give you a hint."

"You can try to guess in the most exaggerated way possible."

Yu Xiaogang gave a hint with a smile.

"Let's speculate in the more exaggerated direction..."

"Could it be...?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Aoxin pondered for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she immediately came up with an "exaggerated" answer.

"Could it be that Yu Xiaogang is actually a member of the royal family? Or even the son of one of my father's concubines?"

It's no wonder Xu Aoxin thought that way.

[Having learned from the example of the head of Shanletang, Xu Aoxin realized that not all of her father's concubines were necessarily in the palace.]

Does that mean that not all of one's brothers and sisters are necessarily in the palace?

[And coincidentally, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Little Dragon, is a dragon.]

Everyone on the Sun Moon Continent knows that the Xu family's inherited martial soul is a dragon-type martial soul. Although it often undergoes various mutations, like my own, my martial soul is completely different from my father's, directly mutating into a wood attribute.

[Then it's not impossible for one of their brothers' martial souls to mutate into the dark attribute, and further mutate into something like a little dragon.]

Following this conjecture, Xu Aoxin began to imagine a dramatic love story involving Yu Xiaogang.

[A prince, abandoned and longing to see his father, strives to improve his strength and eventually gains his father's favor through sheer power...]

Xu Aoxin even began to imagine what would happen after Yu Xiaogang was brought back to the palace, and how he would fight with his brothers, enacting a drama similar to the one depicted in those storybooks about the real and fake young masters.

[He was framed by his brother, misunderstood by his father, and ultimately heartbroken.]

After leaving, his father and the brothers who had framed him suddenly regretted their actions, leading to scenes of sons being cremated and brothers being cremated.

As Xu Aoxin grew increasingly excited, a subtle expression unconsciously appeared on her face.

[This expression made Yu Xiaogang hesitate to speak.]

He could guess without even thinking that Xu Aoxin wasn't up to anything good.

So Yu Xiaogang casually asked her what she was thinking.

["Hehe, I just wanted to imagine scenes where you were bullied by your father and brothers, and they regretted it for the rest of their lives after you died..."]

Xu Aoxin subconsciously blurted out what was on his mind.

Upon hearing Xu Aoxin's words, Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with confusion.

"I was bullied by your father and brothers. If I die, will they regret it for the rest of their lives?"

"So, where exactly did this idea of ​​yours come from?"

"Why was I bullied by your father and brothers? Why did I die? And why did I make them regret it?"

Yu Xiaogang didn't understand; he genuinely didn't understand.

How exactly did these ideas come about?

"Ah, oh, cough cough cough... Sorry, sorry."

"These are all associations I made based on your identity."

Xu Aoxin repeatedly apologized, after all, the other person was perfectly fine, yet he had been thinking about their death, and more importantly, he had said it to their face.

"So, what's your guess?"

Yu Xiaogang had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, you want me to guess something outrageous? The most outrageous guess is, 'You're my brother,' right?"

[Xu Ao said this as if it were the most natural thing in his mind.]

"Look at you, your Martial Soul, Little Dragon, is also a dragon-type Martial Soul. Add to that your aura, strength, and talent."

"The most reasonable explanation is that you are my father's long-lost son, and your mother probably had some kind of responsibility, like the head of the Shanle Hall, which is why you've always been away."

"Am I right?"

Xu Aoxin looked at Yu Xiaogang expectantly, awaiting his answer.

Upon hearing Xu Aoxin's guess, Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

Is this another possible guess?

【Pfft】

Gu Rong was also momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[It has to be said, Xu Aoxin's conjecture is indeed quite exaggerated.]

[I enjoy watching this drama!]
