Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

He sighed, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and something indescribable.

How could that be?

"Actually, I've had a good impression of you ever since you defeated Tang San on the Soul Arena."

Ning Rongrong blushed and lowered her head.

Her personality is very simple: she admires strength.

Actually, it's not just women who admire strength; men also admire strength.

Even Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran all harbored some degree of admiration for the strong.

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not initially get together with him because of his strength, the fact that their relationship progressed so quickly and smoothly was also related to his own strength.

Admiring the strong is never a derogatory term.

However, between him and Ning Rongrong...

"Rongrong, look up at me first."

Gu Linyuan sighed and raised his hand to lift the brim of his hat.

The moonlight shone down on his face without obstruction, illuminating his sharply defined features with exceptional clarity.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a jawline as sharp as if cut by a knife.

Ning Rongrong knew that face all too well.

She watched for more than a decade, from children to teenagers, from innocence to naivety, from liking to being tired of, and from being tired of being abandoned.

She thought she would never remember that face again, that she had completely erased it from her memory.

boom.

Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.

At that moment, her brain seemed to have been paused; all her thoughts, all her perceptions, and all her reactions froze instantly.

She looked at that face, those dark eyes.

She tried to speak, but it felt like her throat was being choked, and she could only manage to squeeze out a few incoherent words.

"Gu Linyuan... what are you doing here?"

Gu Linyuan looked at the girl in front of him with bright eyes, the moonlight flowing across his face.

"Rongrong, do you still not want to believe it? Actually... I am Longyuan."

“Originally, I didn’t want to bother you anymore. So in Soto City, I used the alias Long Yuan. I just didn’t expect things to turn out this way.” Gu Linyuan showed a hint of apology.

His reason for going to Soto City was purely to probe the protagonist group's background and, incidentally, to follow them in order to steal the external soul bone he had been longing for.

He disguised himself very well so that Ning Rongrong wouldn't recognize him.

He never expected that Ning Rongrong would fall in love with his incarnation.

This is a farce.

Let's end it here.

He also didn't want Ning Rongrong to get too deeply involved and waste her youth on someone who didn't even exist.

"Gu Linyuan, do you know what you're saying? How could you possibly be Longyuan? You..."

Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Her body swayed, as if pushed by an invisible hand, and she staggered back two steps.

She tripped on a rock by the lake, lost her balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

She couldn't feel any pain.

Only one thought kept echoing in her mind: Long Yuan is Gu Lin Yuan, and Gu Lin Yuan is Long Yuan.

The mysterious powerhouse who crushed Tang San on the Soul Arena, the man who captivated both Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran, the dream man she longed for day and night, was none other than Gu Linyuan, the one she herself had spoken of as saying "Dragons do not dwell with snakes."

She recalled that night on the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

She thought she was a dragon, and he was a snake. She thought she would fly higher and higher, and he would forever lie on the ground.

It turns out she was the snake.

Ning Rongrong sat on the ground, her hands supporting her behind her, her fingers digging deep into the soil and gravel.

Her gaze was unfocused, her pupils were unfocused, and her lips were trembling slightly, like someone frozen speechless on a cold winter night.

“Gu Lin Yuan… Long Yuan…”

She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it sounded like she was talking in her sleep.

She finally understood why Long Yuan always seemed familiar, why his silhouette made her heart race, and why his voice gave her a strange sense of peace. It wasn't love at first sight, but rather the familiarity that came from being childhood sweethearts.

Her body remembered him, recognizing him even before her heart did.

But what about her heart?

Her heart kept telling her that Gu Linyuan was a good-for-nothing, that he was not good enough for her, and that she had already abandoned him.

She instinctively refused to connect Long Yuan and Gu Linyuan because she couldn't bear the truth.

Actually, she should have recognized Long Yuan the first time she saw him, the first time she saw his martial spirit. But she simply refused to admit it; she hoped Long Yuan and Gu Linyuan were two different people. That way, she wouldn't have done anything wrong.

Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the teahouse and stood a few steps behind Ning Rongrong.

Her dark eyes looked at Ning Rongrong, who was sitting on the ground.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.

"Zhu Qing. You actually knew a long time ago, didn't you? Why didn't you tell me? You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?" Ning Rongrong, who had been holding back tears, broke down instantly when she saw Zhu Zhu Qing.

She used to consider Zhu Zhuqing her sister, but she never expected her to be like this...

"I……"

"Rongrong, I'm sorry..."

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to explain, but she knew she wasn't clean at all.

She knew that Long Yuan was Gu Lin Yuan when she was in Soto City.

But she was greedy; she didn't want to tell Ning Rongrong, didn't want Ning Rongrong and Gu Linyuan's relationship to rekindle. Wasn't she a selfish woman herself?

"You big liar. Zhuqing, I hate you."

Her voice suddenly rose, sharp and piercing, like a piece of glass being smashed on the ground.

Tears finally broke free, welling up in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks, gathering into glistening droplets on her chin before falling onto the hem of her light blue dress, leaving a small, dark stain.

Chapter 81 Ning Rongrong Returns to the Glazed Tile School, and Longyuan Is No More in the World

Shrek Academy originally had only three girls.

Xiao Wu's personality is too impulsive, but Ning Rongrong always felt that Xiao Wu had a deep mind.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was aloof, she was also very simple-minded, which is why she got along well with Zhu Zhuqing.

She thought Zhu Zhuqing was her best friend, but it turned out that this best friend had stolen her man. And for so long, she had kept it a secret from her, watching her make a fool of herself.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong felt like a clown.

I told Zhu Zhuqing so many things about how much I admired Long Yuan, and in the end…

Zhu Zhuqing's lips trembled, her fingers curled into claws at her sides, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's tear-streaked face and her eyes filled with disappointment and anger, she felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.

"I... Rongrong, I'm sorry..."

"At first, I did have ulterior motives, since we weren't that close yet. But later, I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how to bring it up."

Zhu Zhuqing looked apologetic.

Like Ning Rongrong, she didn't have many friends.

Ning Rongrong is also one of her few friends of the same gender.

"You're a liar. You're all liars, I hate you all."

Ning Rongrong got up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and staggered away.

She remembered.

Back in the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it wasn't her who proposed the breakup; it was Gu Linyuan.

Although she had already decided to break up at that time, it was Gu Linyuan who first said those words.

So, it wasn't that she abandoned Gu Linyuan, it was that Gu Linyuan didn't want her anymore.

Dragons do not dwell with snakes.

That statement might be correct. But who exactly is the dragon, and who is the snake?

Judging from Gu Linyuan's current strength.

The term "peerless genius" seems insufficient to describe it. This talent surpasses that of all the geniuses in the history of Douluo Continent.

As for myself, although I have good talent, the gap between me and Gu Linyuan is huge.

"What exactly did I do?"

"Why did Gu Linyuan's talent suddenly become so good? How did he break through to the Soul Venerable realm?"

"In other words, if I hadn't broken up with him, I would be a winner in life right now..."

Tears kept flowing down my face.

Ning Rongrong felt like dying.

She knew. The reason Gu Linyuan proposed breaking up first that day was because he sensed that she had already considered ending the relationship, so he acted first to save face. In the end, it was all her fault.

She let a peerless genius go.

Ha ha……
