Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Do you know how he got through those seven days?

What? You mean Ye Xinglan also had a month before?

Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan practiced dual cultivation at night, but during the day they were still able to rest, meditate, and practice swordsmanship normally.

Tang Wulin is completely insatiable, relying solely on the Golden Dragon King's monstrous stamina. From morning till night, and from night till morning, he basically never stops.

Xie Xie brushed his slightly sweaty hair back and got out of bed barefoot. As soon as he reached out to open the door, a mountain of documents piled up at the doorway rushed in, burying him completely.

"I rely on!"

Xie Xie peeked out from the mountain of documents and found that all sorts of papers were scattered all over the floor, and even the communication system was overloaded with 999+ messages.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy has Wu Changkong, otherwise even more documents would have been delivered today.

Xie Xie looked down at the mess on the ground, his forehead veins throbbing. He really wanted to slap Tang Wulin again.

Tang Wulin, who was kicked off the bed, was not angry at all. Instead, like a large dog that was used to being kicked, he skillfully got up from the ground and once again accurately hung on Xie Xie.

She was also barefoot, wearing only a loosely draped shirt that barely covered her thighs.

Tang Wulin wrapped his arms around Xie Xie's waist from behind, buried his head in the crook of his neck, and whispered in a soft, sticky voice, "Xie Xie~"

Xie Xie pulled the person off without expression and casually tossed him aside.

Without looking back, he weaved through the pile of documents and pushed open the door to the office next door.

He fell silent as soon as the door opened.

This one is even more outrageous than the last one.

The files weren't just piled up like mountains; they formed an endless mountain range. From the doorway to the window, from the floor to the edge of the table, every possible place to put something was filled.

Xie Xie stood at the door, looking at the room overwhelmed by official business, and hesitated for a long time before taking the next step.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said wearily:

"Tang Wulin, come here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Wulin appeared beside him as if by teleportation.

Before Tang Wulin could even speak, Xie Xie grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, forced her to sit down in front of the desk, and then slammed a stack of documents onto the desk with a "thud".

Tang Wulin stared at him expectantly.

Xie Xie grabbed a document and slapped it on her face. "If you don't finish these documents today, don't even think about getting into my bed tonight."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin quickly pulled the documents off his face, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xie Xie. "Does that mean if I finish everything, we can continue tonight?"

Xie Xie: "..."

After letting Tang Wulin cover for him, Xie Xie changed his clothes and hurriedly headed to the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City.

For the past two years, Gu Yue has been secretly developing his own power in the Spirit Pagoda. Now he can vaguely rival the Qian Gu Clan. After completely reclaiming his own power, his cultivation level has soared.

The master of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda is Su Xuan. Because of his relationship with Xie Xie, he stood on the side of the Ancient Moon faction without hesitation.

Xie Xie only learned in recent years that Su Xuan had also been in love with his mother, Lin Wanqing, when he was young.

But Su Xuan also told him personally:

"My love for your mother is a love that has been weighed against the pros and cons. And compared to love, what I want more is power."

Therefore, he gave it up voluntarily back then.

The private elevator stopped at the top floor with a "ding".

Xie Xie straightened his collar and stepped out. The door to the Tower Master's office was ajar, and he simply pushed it open.

The person in the office was indeed Gu Yue.

She leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, holding a cup of tea in her hand, her black hair tied into a high ponytail with a faded purple gemstone headband.

"You're here?"

Gu Yue lazily raised her eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"I thought you were going to let Tang Wulin pester you for a few more days. You really like her that much?"

Xie Xie: "..."

Okay, the issue of death.

Chapter 498 So the 7 days and 7 nights were a reward?

"Now that you've tried both," Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie, who was frozen at the doorway, leaned forward slightly, and slowly asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

Xie Xie: "...Am I really going to die today?"

Gu Yue chuckled as she looked at his tense expression.

She put down her teacup and waved to him.

"I'm not kidding you anymore, come here."

Xie Xie felt as if he had been granted a pardon and let out a long breath. He walked over, slammed the back of his head against the sofa, and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Gu Yueyue, you have no idea. Just the Xie family patriarch and the Sea God Pavilion master alone have exhausted me. I'm reviewing documents until midnight every day. If it weren't for Teacher Wu, I would have quit and run away long ago."

He paused, his tone becoming even more mournful: "If I really become the Dragon God later, and then manage a race of soul beasts, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?"

Gu Yue remained silent.

She got up and walked over, naturally sitting on his lap and pinching his cheek.

“But you are already the Dragon God.” Gu Yue looked into Xie Xie’s eyes, a smile playing on her lips. “Even Di Tian recognized you two years ago. The Beast God has already knelt before you. It’s no use regretting it now.”

Xie Xie opened his eyes and looked at the face so close to his.

He reached out and pulled her closer to his waist, so that there was almost no gap between them.

Then, he pressed his face against hers, his tone grinning and slightly mischievous: "Gu Yue, if you were the Dragon God, could I openly and legitimately live off a woman?"

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow.

She released her grip on his face and instead gently patted his cheek twice, lightly, with a hint of teasing.

"Want to be a kept man?"

She drew out her words, her smile deepening, "Alright, but first I'll have to become the Dragon God."

A dark glint flashed across Xie Xie's eyes, but his face remained carefree and smiling.

"You said it yourself!"

“Yes, yes, yes,” Gu Yue laughed again, amused by him, and reached out to ruffle his hair. “I said it.”

The two chatted for a while longer.

Xie Xie leaned back on the sofa, responding half-heartedly, his fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of Gu Yue's hair that fell down. Gu Yue let him play around, occasionally glancing down at him with a smile in her eyes.

It wasn't until Xie Xie yawned that Gu Yue finally got down to business.

"There's something I need to discuss with you."

Her tone softened, and she sat up straighter. "I recently received information that the Qian Gu family has hidden a secret experimental base under the Spirit Transmission Tower in Ningbo City."

Xie Xie stopped twirling his hair with his fingers.

"An experimental base?" He looked up. "What kind of research is it conducting?"

“It’s an inhibitor, supposedly to suppress emotions.” Gu Yue’s voice calmed down. “We haven’t obtained the specific ingredients yet, but based on the intercepted intelligence, it’s likely to work on powerful soul beasts.”

Xie Xie's brows furrowed slightly.

The ancient family is developing an inhibitor to control the emotions of soul beasts, and their purpose is self-evident.

“There’s one more thing.” Gu Yue looked at him, paused, and said, “I had someone check the list of researchers at the base and found two names.”

"Who?"

"Tang Muran, Langyue."

Xie Xie's expression changed instantly.

"No! Tang Wulin must not know about this!"

He blurted out almost subconsciously, "I just used my divine power to pull her back from the Abyss Saint King, and that bastard Tang San took advantage of my weakness and stabbed me with the Golden Dragon Spear. Her emotions have only just stabilized a little!"

The air in the office suddenly seemed to freeze.

Xie Xie wearily pinched the bridge of his nose. "The personnel in these secret experimental bases must have been controlled by some means."

“If she finds out that something has happened to her parents, I’m afraid the Golden Dragon King’s essence within her will go berserk again.”

"I won't be able to use my divine power for a while."

"You also need to conserve your strength to suppress the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, while simultaneously confronting the Ancient Clan. You—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yue suddenly stood up.

Xie Xie was stunned. Before he could react, Gu Yue had already ripped open his collar.

The spot pierced by the Golden Dragon Spear had long since healed, but the hideous scar remained, several shades darker than the surrounding skin, and slightly raised to the touch.

Gu Yue reached out and lightly touched the scar with her fingertips, her fingertips tracing the scar's path little by little.

Xie Xie could clearly feel her hands trembling.

"Gu Yue, I..."

He was about to speak when Gu Yue raised his head.

The languor, smile, and affection in her eyes just moments ago vanished completely, replaced by an almost frozen coldness. A murderous intent surged within her deep purple eyes, so oppressive it was suffocating.

The temperature in the entire office dropped several degrees.

Outside the window, it was still a bright sunny day, but the air inside the office felt frozen, and even breathing became a cautious affair.

Gu Yue's hand was still on his scar.

She applied slight pressure with her fingertips, as if trying to erase the mark from his body.

"I'm going out."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Hey?"

"Hey! No, no, no!"

Xie Xie immediately sprang up from the sofa, rushed after her in a few strides, grabbed her from behind, wrapped his arms around her waist, and earnestly advised:

"I'm fine, I'm really fine! You can come and check if you don't believe me!"

Gu Yue is now a fully-fledged dragon.

If Gu Yue really goes, out of respect for him, Tang Wulin won't be beaten to death, but that's about it. Besides, with Gu Yue causing such a scene, Wu Changkong definitely won't be able to keep it a secret anymore.

If the two of them join forces, they might really be killed by Tang Wulin.

"Although I sealed away the power of the Dragon God, my vitality as the Light Dragon King is not to be underestimated, and the seed of life within Tang Wulin is also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yue suddenly turned around, grabbed his collar, and pulled him forward half a step.

Gu Yue's eyes were red, and her chest heaved violently.

“Before, even though I wanted to kill you countless times, I couldn’t bring myself to lay a finger on you, she…”

Her voice trembled, each word seeming to be squeezed out of her throat, filled with suppressed anger and grievance.

"How dare she!"

Xie Xie was taken aback.

"She treated you like that," Gu Yue tightened her grip on his collar, her eyes red as she stared at him, "and you still rewarded her! She stayed for a whole seven days! You like her that much?!"

Xie Xie was completely stunned after hearing this series of questions.

award?

What reward?
