Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 105 Gu Yuena: He is mine

"I thought you'd be like those men who hunt down drunk girls in pubs, trying to lower their guard by saying things that show understanding so you can make your move."

After saying that, she took the glass of wine without hesitation and downed it in one gulp.

The cool liquid, with a hint of sweetness, carries a rich aroma of wine, with distinct layers of flavor, and the final touch of snow lotus fragrance is unforgettable.

With just one sip, Zhang Lexuan's eyes lit up immediately. She subconsciously examined the wine in her hand, which shimmered dreamily under the moonlight. Just as she was lost in thought, Huo Yuhao's question slowly rang out.

"But someone like Sister Lexuan doesn't need anyone else's pity or approval, does she?"

Zhang Lexuan paused, subconsciously looking at Huo Yuhao. As if sensing her gaze, Huo Yuhao, who was looking down at the flames in front of him, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Just like what Sister Lexuan told me three months ago, in my heart, Sister Lexuan is a steadfast and courageous person."

If Zhang Lexuan had been easily defeated by hardship, she wouldn't have reached where she is today.

Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say. Her heart, which was already beating faster than usual, accelerated again, pumping hot blood into her brain like a high-pressure pump, and a faint blush crept onto her delicate cheeks.

She suddenly felt a little drunk, and those thoughts that she had suppressed before resurfaced in her mind.

For some reason, looking at the young man in front of her, Zhang Lexuan heard the words that Elder Mu had said before.

—I hope that when you come to see me next time, you will have found your own answer.

Three months later, it seems I have truly found the answer that Master Mu spoke of.

After hesitating for so long, she finally made up her mind at this moment.

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Zhang Lexuan's increasingly strange gaze, finally spoke up, his voice filled with doubt.

"Sister Lexuan?"

what's wrong?

Did I say something wrong?

Just as Huo Yuhao was wondering what was going on, a soft hand gently cupped his cheek, and the irresistible force made him subconsciously turn his head to face Zhang Lexuan's stunningly beautiful face, which was so close to his.

The warm breath, carrying the rich aroma of wine, touched his face. Before Huo Yuhao could react, the gentle touch silenced his words.

?

What happened?

However, the newcomer adventurer seemed unsatisfied with superficial contact. She awkwardly pried open the tightly closed treasure chest, entered it, and began to plunder the treasure inside based on instinct.

"Waaah—"

The boy's cries did not elicit any pity from Zhang Lexuan; instead, they aroused his sanity, causing her behavior to escalate. In no time, she caught up with the knight guarding the treasure and quickly became entangled in a fight with him.

To prevent Huo Yuhao from escaping, the hands that were originally holding his cheeks gradually moved to the back of his head.

The scene was so tragic that it was almost unbearable to watch.

"Hmm."

Fortunately for Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan didn't seem to have grasped the technique of breathing during the process, and a few minutes later she opened her mouth on her own due to lack of oxygen.

"Hoo-ha—"

After a long sigh that sounded like he hadn't quite finished expressing his feelings.

Just as adventurers, having seized treasure, scattered their loot in their haste to escape, the silver threads stretched slowly under the moonlight, like a silver bridge connecting the treasure chest and the explorers.

The incident happened so suddenly that Huo Yuhao felt like he was dreaming, but the faint aroma of alcohol lingering in his mouth reminded him of what had just happened.

As he caught his breath, a question slowly surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.

We were supposed to clink glasses, so how did it turn out like this?

Looking at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes still held a hint of confusion and bewilderment, and whose lips were trembling slightly, Zhang Lexuan swallowed hard, swallowing all the sweetness she had just plundered.

So that's what it feels like.

Having tasted the sweetness of it, she lightly licked her lips and offered an explanation in a strange voice.

"Yuhao, wasting is not a good habit."

".ah?"

When Zhang Lexuan, having recovered, pounced on him again, Huo Yuhao finally understood that the seemingly incomprehensible remark referred to the glistening residue on his lips.

The new student teaching building.

Looking up at the increasingly high-hanging moon, Gu Yuena, leaning against the corridor, frowned slightly.

After a moment of hesitation, she glanced one last time at the empty space in front of the dormitory building, and finally turned and headed towards the stairs.

"If you're going to find Huo Yuhao, he should be back soon."

Just as Gu Yuena stepped out of the dormitory building, an aged voice made her pause slightly. Turning her head, she saw an old man lying on a recliner, seemingly asleep. He slowly opened his eyes, his dim yellow eyes quietly watching her, and continued to add to the story.

"Unless a major enemy invades, the academy is still quite safe."

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint pressure immediately enveloped Mu En.

"I don't need to be reminded; I prefer to confirm his safety myself."

"You're protecting him? What is it about that child that makes you go to such lengths for him?"

Completely ignoring the hostility the girl displayed, as if he didn't feel any pressure, Moon asked with a questioning tone.

"Although that child is somewhat special and his talent is unprecedented, he is still human, isn't he? No matter how powerful he is, it wouldn't warrant a top-tier being from the Soul Beast Realm coming all the way to the human world to do these things, would it?"

"Or is there something I don't know that makes someone like you willing to offer him shelter?"

He couldn't determine which of the Ten Ferocious Beasts Gu Yuena was, but he still had some guesses in his mind.

After all, as the owner of the Holy Dragon Martial Soul, he had never experienced what it felt like to have his Martial Soul suppressed in all his years of life.

But just three months ago, under Gu Yuena's indifferent glance, his martial soul suddenly felt a sense of dread.

Martial Soul Suppression!

Regardless of strength or willpower, the only possible cause for this situation is pure bloodline suppression.

But are there still bloodlines in this world capable of suppressing the Holy Dragon of Light?

How is that possible?

Even the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, ranked number one on the list of ferocious beasts on the mainland, couldn't have done that, right?

He had also speculated that Gu Yuena might be one of the other ferocious beasts on the list of ferocious beasts, but he quickly dismissed the idea. The other ferocious beasts weren't even dragons, let alone able to suppress his Holy Light Dragon.

Not to mention that Gu Yuena's suppression wasn't just about bloodline; if she didn't actively release it, he couldn't even sense her aura at all, which was enough to prove that her strength was incomparable to those lower-ranked ferocious beasts.

After eliminating all possibilities, the other party's identity was finally confirmed.

An existence that exists outside the list of ferocious beasts, whose strength even surpasses that of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, yet has never been discovered by humans.

Seeing Gu Yuena remain silent, Mu En continued to add.

"A huge security threat has suddenly emerged within the academy. We need to figure out whether the other party is friend or foe, what their purpose is, and their attitude."

Stop your probing, human.

Gu Yuena interrupted him indifferently, her ethereal voice now carrying a hint of killing intent.

"Since you know I'm a safety hazard, who gave you the audacity to question me so brazenly in front of me?!"

"Is it because you've observed me over this period of time and think I'm too easy to talk to? Or is it something else?"

After a brief pause, accompanied by Gu Yuena's extremely cold and thunderous voice, a pressure several times more terrifying than before suddenly descended upon Mu En.

"Or do you believe that the human deities you worship can stop me before I completely destroy this place!?"

Mu En's expression changed. His body emitted a faint golden light, and with the circulation of his soul power, he barely managed to withstand the pressure released by the other party.

"You'd better pray that your college is really safe, now and forever."

Gu Yuena scoffed lightly, her voice cold.

"Otherwise, if something happens to him here, I will be the most vulnerable factor. If it really comes to that, let's see if all of you so-called Title Douluos combined have the ability to stop me."

"You, you are..."

Feeling an unprecedented sense of dread emanating from his own martial spirit, he finally realized the other party's identity.

As Gu Yuena's aura subsided, Mu En, who felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, felt an indescribable sense of absurdity welling up inside him.

After a long while, as if he had figured something out, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"What's this? Dragons won't allow others to touch the treasures they've set their sights on?"

Gu Yuena smiled too, but her smile was devoid of any warmth.

"You think you've seen his potential, but I think you haven't really understood that his value is far greater than you imagine, more precious than any treasure."

"As for the relationship between him and me, to put it more bluntly, as humans, you can understand it as—"

Gu Yuena raised her eyes, her gaze towards Mu En somewhat condescending, as if looking down upon him. Her tone carried an unquestionable arrogance, as if declaring ownership, as she spoke each word with deliberate emphasis.

"He is mine."

Seeing Mu En's astonished expression, Gu Yuena spoke calmly.

"I don't mind him interacting with others. If I'm in a good mood, I can respect his wishes and lend it to someone he likes. After all, it would be a shame if such a precious thing were only appreciated by himself. But that doesn't mean that anyone can take it away from me."

At this point, Gu Yuena paused, her smile slowly fading, and she uttered words with a serious expression that left no room for doubt.

"My things are always borrowed by me; no one can take them from me."
