In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 454 Changes

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

A man and a woman stood quietly together, both radiant like immortals. Their two tufts of silver hair fluttered and occasionally touched each other. Looking at their backs, they seemed like a divine couple, unparalleled in the world.

"It's about to begin."

Gu Yuena glanced at Wang Zhao, who was leaning against her, but didn't distance herself from him. She simply asked with a slightly serious expression:

"Is everything ready on your end?"

Wang Zhao gazed at the beautiful scenery of the Lake of Life, and heard the silvery sound of the beautiful woman beside him. He slowly withdrew his gaze, smiled at her, pointed to the sky, and said:

"Everything is ready. However, you don't seem to have much confidence in Di Tian."

Gu Yuena couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"With the plan you've proposed, do you really have more confidence in Di Tian than I do?"

Wang Zhao chuckled.

"Who knows? Actually, I don't necessarily want the final result to be as I wish. Anyway, it's just a matter of time for me."

Gu Yuena snorted, but did not refute Wang Zhao's words.

At this moment, a deep voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, echoed from the depths of the Lake of Life:

"My lord, Lord Wang, could you please consider the occasion when you belittle your subordinates?"

"That's called joking. The atmosphere is so tense, we need to lighten it up a bit."

Wang Zhao said with a smile.

Gu Yuena followed closely behind, but her expression was one of authority towards her subordinates. "Di Tian, ​​prepare well, and try your best not to let this bastard human next to me get away with it. Since he's so powerful, let him work hard on his own."

Di Tian: "..."

This is a lie!

If it weren't for the fact that you, my lord, have been showing off your love to this "bastard human" in front of us single beasts every day lately, I would have believed it.

However, thinking this way, Di Tian remained silent and steadily accumulated his strength...

The scene fell silent again. After a long while, Gu Yuena looked at Wang Zhao and couldn't help but say:

"When will the time you're talking about come?"

"Wait a little longer."

Wang Zhao gazed leisurely into the void, as if his gaze had penetrated the barriers of the world and reached the high and mighty outer core of the heavens, the divine realm that ruled over countless planes.

"After all, you wouldn't want our main objective for this operation to fail, would you?"

Gu Yuena shook her head, then suddenly leaned closer to Wang Zhao and casually cast a spell to shield everything around them.

She gazed at Wang Zhao for a moment, her eyes gradually softening. Yet, within that tenderness lingered a subtle, almost imperceptible depth.

"If I achieve my goal today, I will have no more scruples. You...aren't you afraid?"

Wang Zhao looked at her intently.

"To be honest, I'm still a little scared. After all, you're not the Gu Yuena from the story I told you a few years ago. You have a brain. Sigh, sometimes I really wish you were love-struck, then I could easily manipulate you now..."

Gu Yuena punched Wang Zhao in the chest and said irritably:

"What are you saying?!"

After she finished speaking, her face gradually moved closer to Wang Zhao's face.

"Since that's the case, you still dare to gamble with me? As far as I know, you're not a gambler. Or perhaps you have some trick up your sleeve?"

Guess!

Wang Zhao could give her a vague answer, but he didn't intend to say so.

"My ultimate goal is a win-win situation for everyone. But I can't guarantee you don't have ambitions to swallow everything whole. I just want to ask, after all these years of spending time with you and your alter ego, with double the experience, isn't that enough to reach your maximum level in your mind?"

Seeing that she was so close, Wang Zhao boldly and naturally placed his hand on her slender waist and pulled her close with a slight force.

Gu Yuena's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly became supple again.

She did not push Wang Zhao away.

She then gave a cold laugh, raised her head with a slightly arrogant air, and looked down at Wang Zhao.

"You're talking to me about this on such an important occasion? Wang Zhao, you haven't turned into the 'love-obsessed' person you always talk about, have you?"

"If that's the case, I wouldn't mind giving you a chance to pursue me. The condition is that you must present your..."

Wang Zhao interrupted Gu Yuena before she could finish speaking, because he knew what she was going to say, and he would never agree to it.

"Ha, is that possible? I'm a man who owns a whole forest! Hanging myself on one tree isn't my style."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's gaze instantly turned icy cold. Compared to her previous sneer, the chill in her eyes this time was genuine.

"Hmph! Sooner or later, I'll kill all your women, right in front of you!"

"Hey, don't be so unreasonable, you're the one who came later..."

"I'm stronger than all of them, and stronger than you!"

"Well……"

Suddenly, Gu Yuena's red lips were sealed. She instinctively threw a punch, but Wang Zhao, who had anticipated this, grabbed her. After struggling slightly but "unable" to break free from Wang Zhao, she gave up.

Then, Wang Zhao lifted and bound both of her hands, pressing her against a large tree nearby.

Tree thud...

Gu Yuena blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at the unrestrained man in front of her, a hint of enjoyment in her eyes.

After a brief kiss, their lips parted, and a glistening thread of silk dangled from between them.

"When you're being domineering, it really makes me want to bully you. Also, your heart and soul are actually quite honest. If you ask me, you're just a tsundere~"

Wang Zhao chuckled again, his expression sly.

The next moment, Gu Yuena, as if she had just pulled up her pants and become erect again, pushed Wang Zhao away.

"generally."

"Also, you need to understand, this behavior is because I'm enjoying you!"

Wang Zhao raised an eyebrow.

"Then why don't you enjoy it a few more times? Or, you could enjoy it even more excessively."

"I don't mind..."

"arch!"

"Hey! Someone's getting impatient, but I'm not saying who it is~"

"Go to hell!"

……

The two continued arguing, and suddenly, the sky above the Lake of Life and even the entire Starry Sky Forest darkened rapidly.

Wang Zhao and Gu Yuena both sensed something. Gu Yuena took the initiative to dispel the barrier against the outside world, and soon, several beams of light descended to the two of them.

Gu Yuena's side had the Ice and Snow Emperors, Bi Ji and Zi Ji, and other powerful beasts; Wang Zhao's side had Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu and other confidants.

It's worth mentioning that Qian Renxue also came; she had finally ended her seclusion.

At this moment, the Lake of Life visibly began to boil, as if some terrifying being was about to burst forth from the water at any moment.

Immediately following, a deafening roar of thunder was heard, and the expressions of everyone standing by the Lake of Life turned serious. Gu Yuena looked around, then with a light wave of her hand, several dazzling silver lights shone forth, enveloping everyone.

The next moment, everyone vanished from their original spot and reappeared on a mountain peak far from the Lake of Life.

Even so, if someone looks up, they can still see thick black clouds obscuring the sun.

"boom!"
