Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Page 316

Her silver hair fell down, her purple eyes opened, and her stunningly beautiful face, which could captivate all beings, was slightly pale at this moment, yet it was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Gu Yuena.

She has emerged from quarantine.

"Lord!"

Di Tian knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.

But at this moment, a tidal wave of emotions surged within him.

Why did our lord emerge from seclusion at this time?

Her injury hasn't healed yet, has it?

Gu Yuena walked up to him, her purple eyes gazing at the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest, her expression complex.

"Di Tian."

Her voice was soft, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

"I need you to go out for a bit."

Di Tian was taken aback: "My lord, you mean..."

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and looked at him.

Those purple eyes were now burning with an unprecedented light.

"Di Tian."

Gu Yuena's voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"I need you to go to Douluo Continent."

Di Tian, who was kneeling on one knee, trembled slightly, but without any hesitation, he immediately replied, "What are your orders, Master!"

Gu Yuena turned around, her back to him, and looked at the lush forest in the distance that had been nourished by the Lake of Life for thousands of years.

"I need treasure."

She paused, her voice still calm, but Di Tian could hear a hint of urgency hidden beneath that calm.

"Rare and precious materials, spiritual herbs and immortal plants, rare metals containing enormous energy... find everything that can help me recover from my injuries as quickly as possible."

Di Tian raised his head and looked at the silver figure, a hint of doubt flashing in his golden eyes.

Hasn't the Lord's injury almost stabilized?

Why the sudden rush to recover?

But he didn't ask.

His more than 100,000 years of following her made him understand better than anyone else that Gu Yuena never explained herself; she only gave orders.

All he had to do was execute the orders.

"Yes, my lord."

Di Tian responded in a deep voice, then asked, "My lord, is there any specific target? Or which direction should I search in?"

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment.

She didn't turn around, but slightly tilted her head, glancing at Di Tian's bowed and respectful figure out of the corner of her eye.

"The entire continent."

She said calmly.

“Bring back anything that catches your eye.”

Di Tian's heart trembled.

The entire continent?

My lord is... going all out.

But he still didn't ask why.

"Understood."

Di Tian stood up, his jet-black dragon claws gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Gu Yuena suddenly spoke again.

"Di Tian."

Di Tian paused, "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

Gu Yuena turned her back to him and remained silent for a full three seconds.

Then, her voice came through, still calm, but with a hint of complexity that Di Tian had never heard before.

"...Go."

Di Tian frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

He turned around, bowed deeply to Gu Yuena, and then his figure transformed into a black streak of light, instantly disappearing into the sky above the Lake of Life.

He flies very fast.

The scene that was almost behind me turned into a blurry light and shadow in the blink of an eye.

But his golden eyes were now burning with a light completely different from Gu Yuena's.

Excited.

Yes, I'm excited.

Chapter 448 Sealing the Dragon Realm

Di Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

He didn't know why Gu Yuena suddenly wanted him to go treasure hunting.

But he knew that whatever that being resonated with the Dragon God was, he had to find out.

Even just a glimpse from afar.

Even if it's just to confirm what that thing is.

And at this moment, on the shore of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena stood still, her long silver hair swaying gently in the wind.

She gazed in the direction where Di Tian had disappeared, the complex light in her purple eyes gradually settling into a deep, cold indifference.

"Golden Dragon King..."

She murmured the name softly, so softly that only she could hear it.

"You finally... couldn't hold back anymore?"

No one answered her.

Only the waters of the Lake of Life gently lapped against the shore, making a soft sound.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, feeling the faint pain in her body and the slight rejection emanating from the Dragon God's heart.

So many years have passed.

From the moment the Dragon God fell, she knew that she was not the part he liked the most.

The Golden Dragon King inherited most of the Dragon God's power, as well as the Dragon God's madness, domineering nature, and indomitable fighting spirit.

She was merely the embodiment of kindness, the part of reason and gentleness that the Dragon God separated before his fall.

The Dragon God's divine sense never gave her a second glance.

Even though she knelt before the Dragon God's tomb for ten thousand years, and even though she tried countless times to communicate with that wisp of remaining divine consciousness, all she ever received was silence.

Occasionally, that consciousness would stir.

But that was aimed at the Golden Dragon King.

That fool trapped in the realm of gods, insane and only knowing how to destroy.

Gu Yuena clenched her fists.

Her fingernails dug deep into her palm, and blood dripped from between her fingers, but she was completely unaware.

She always thought it was because she wasn't strong enough.

It was because his injuries were too severe and his strength too weak that the Dragon God's divine sense disregarded him.

So she needs to recover.

Even if it costs the entire continent's resources, even if it means letting Di Tian traverse every inch of land, she must recover to her peak condition in the shortest possible time.

By then...

Gu Yuena opened her eyes, and the shimmering light of the Lake of Life was reflected in her purple pupils.

At that time, she would see if the Dragon God's divine sense could still ignore her.

"Just wait and see."

She murmured to herself, her voice soft, yet carrying a chilling edge.

"Very soon."

In the distance, Di Tian's figure had completely disappeared into the horizon.

He flew so fast that the air was torn apart in front of him, emitting a piercing shriek.

But at that moment, only one thought occupied his mind.

That direction.

The direction that the dragon god's claw pointed in.

What exactly is waiting for him?
