Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 398 Gu Yue: Absorbing Chapters with Interest; The Fearful Leng Yaozhu

If Ning Rongrong hadn't witnessed that terrifying three-day, three-night experience firsthand, she might have believed Huo Yuhao's words.

But now, through her previous observations, she clearly knows that Huo Yuhao, who possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, obviously does not resist the instincts of the dragon race.

In this situation, when someone offers themselves up, shouldn't he be eager to take them in like a dragon seizing a glittering treasure?

Ning Rongrong lowered her head somewhat unwillingly, looking at her current appearance.

Yes, it must be because of my current disheveled and miserable state that I was unable to show him my true charm.

Once she regains her divine power, grooms herself properly, and looks radiant again, Huo Yuhao will definitely regret not taking advantage of the situation to win her over.

Seeing Ning Rongrong with her head down and eyes darting around, yet she remained silent, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, his voice growing colder: "Are you unwilling to sign the contract? Since you're so principled, then I won't force you."

While extracting the divine essence is somewhat troublesome, it's not entirely impossible for me. I can simply find a suitable successor when the time comes.

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and gestured towards the golden dragon spear that was stuck in Ning Rongrong's chest, as if he was about to activate the golden dragon spear's devouring properties to annihilate Ning Rongrong's body and soul into nothingness.

Feeling her already meager life force rapidly draining away uncontrollably, Ning Rongrong was terrified and frantically shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Don't do anything, I'm willing to sign, I'm willing to sign anything..."

……

Outside the Valley of Love and Destiny, in the VIP reception room within the small world.

Leng Yaozhu, dressed in a dark red, luxurious dress, was leaning against the sofa.

Long, slender fingers gently swirled the wine in the glass, the red wine reflecting a beautiful and mesmerizing color under the soft light.

This vibrant red complemented her already fiery red, flowing hair, further accentuating her curvaceous figure. .

Every gesture exudes a captivating charm unique to adults.

Before Leng Yaozhu could even bring the wine glass to her lips and savor the taste of this treasured wine, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Yue, looking worried, strode in.

As soon as she entered, Gu Yue couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher, it's been three whole days, is there still no news from Teacher Lingbing and the others?"

"Don't rush, sit down first. I've told you many times before, no matter how anxious we are about this, it's useless now."

Leng Yaozhu put down her wine glass, gestured for Gu Yue to sit down beside her, and said earnestly:

"You should also know that Ling Bing has been designated as the successor of the God of Destruction, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who have also become gods, are by her side."

The events unfolding within the Valley of Love and Destiny have already involved a power struggle and conflict between deities. How could we mortals easily interfere in matters of this level?

Moreover, Yu Lai also told me that the core area of ​​Qiankun Wenqing Valley is currently completely closed off, and the outside world has no way of knowing the specific situation inside.

So all we can do now is wait patiently. Once we can re-establish contact with the people inside, the results will naturally come out; it's just that we don't know yet whether the results will be good or bad.

In the end, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

On one hand, he was seeing his usually aloof and arrogant personal disciple now showing such concern for Ling Bing.

For the past three days, she has been completely preoccupied with the other person, to the point of being extremely worried about them. As a teacher, she felt a little jealous.

On the other hand, it was, of course, to prevent these naive young girls from worrying too much and ruining their mood.

Leng Yaozhu specifically instructed her younger sister not to tell Gu Yue and the others the whole truth.

According to Leng Yulai, the god of love clearly had ulterior motives.

First, they used Qiankun Wenqing Valley to scheme against Zhu Zhuqing, and now they have devised a plan to lure Ling Bing and the others into Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

As Ya Li's best friend, Leng Yaozhu sincerely hoped that Ya Li's lover could get through this crisis safely.

Gu Yue, who was sitting obediently next to Leng Yaozhu, was completely unable to calm down at the moment, her heart was beating very fast.

She never imagined that she was just following Leng Yulai to greet her teacher and taking a stroll around the outskirts of Cupid Town.

When they returned, Huo Yuhao actually took Xiao Wu and even Zhu Zhuqing, who appeared out of nowhere, and the three of them went to cause trouble for the mysterious Cupid.

Gu Yue grew angrier the more she thought about it, even if Huo Yuhao had really decided to kill Cupid.

He shouldn't have left everyone behind and acted alone; he should at least have taken me with him when he went to help.

Shouldn't they be a team that shares weal and woe, standing together through thick and thin no matter what dangers they encounter?

Before Gu Yue could say anything in response, Leng Yulai, still dressed in her magnificent sacrificial robes, hurriedly entered the room.

Her expression was unusually strange, as if she had witnessed something unbelievable, revealing a hint of undisguised inner turmoil.

Meeting their questioning gazes, Leng Yulai took a deep breath and could only feign composure as she spoke.

"I have reconnected with God of Love. However, I am not able to find out the specifics of what happened, so I do not know."

However, the God of Love has now issued a divine decree, requiring us to travel to the core area of ​​the Valley of Love and Destiny. It is said that some important matters need to be rearranged and reorganized.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu looked thoughtful, trying to guess the deeper meaning behind it.

Gu Yue, however, couldn't wait any longer and stood up immediately. She walked a few steps to Leng Yulai and asked repeatedly, "Sister Yulai, what about Teacher Lingbing and the others? Were they injured?"

"Haha... Gu Yue, don't worry, Ling Bing will definitely be fine."

Leng Yulai's eyes darted around, and she let out a few stiff and awkward laughs, as if she found the question very difficult to answer.

God knows what exactly happened these past few days.

When she returned to the core area of ​​Qiankun Wenqing Valley, she was surprised to see her most respected Goddess of Love standing obediently behind Ling Bing like a humble maid, and even calling the boy "master"!

The scene was far too terrifying; even now, when Leng Yulai thinks about it, it still feels like a dream.

To cover up her embarrassment, Leng Yulai coughed twice and changed the subject:

"Anyway, Goddess Cupid specifically requested that you go there in person, so let's not waste any more time here and let's get going."

"Looking for me?"

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was even more puzzled.

Although his younger sister went through many rigorous tests before becoming a highly respected saintess in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

But that doesn't mean that I, as the older sister, am very familiar with Cupid.

It could even be said that very few people in the entire Federation have the chance to see Cupid.

After hearing confirmed from Leng Yulai that Huo Yuhao was safe and sound, Gu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the anxiety subsided, the intelligence that had been depleted by panic began to regain its place in the brain.

Looking back on the past few days, I realized that I had been in a terrible state of not being able to eat or drink because I was worried about Huo Yuhao's condition.

But that guy was inside doing who knows what. Gu Yue cursed inwardly and pondered to herself.

She was determined to give Huo Yuhao a good talking-to later and find out what had gotten into him, why he had abandoned her and acted alone.

I also want to absorb back the Golden Dragon King's essence blood that he owed me these past few days because he wasn't by my side, with interest!

……

As Leng Yaozhu followed her younger sister with suspicion into a side hall in the core area of ​​Qiankun Wenqing Valley, her steps involuntarily slowed down.

As soon as Leng Yaozhu stepped into this side hall, she could clearly sense that the atmosphere here was very strange.

Especially when she looked up and saw that the person sitting in the main seat was not Cupid, but a handsome young man with an otherworldly temperament, so handsome that one couldn't help but want to go up and tease him.

This stark contrast made Leng Yaozhu secretly sigh in her heart, thinking how well her good friend Yali was eating.

Despite her astonishment, the strange feeling in Leng Yaozhu's heart did not dissipate; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

However, he still bowed respectfully with an elegant posture and asked:

"Mr. Lingbing, I never expected we would meet formally under these circumstances. Did you specifically send Yulai to find me here to discuss the initial transaction regarding the fragments of the God Realm?"

Yes and no.

Huo Yuhao responded softly and gently.

While answering, he couldn't help but glance at Leng Yaozhu a few more times.

This was his first formal meeting with Gu Yue's teacher. Of course, the main reason was that Gu Yue, who came in with Leng Yaozhu, had such a resentful gaze that he dared not look directly at her.

Huo Yuhao could guess the reason for Gu Yue's appearance; it was simply because he had faced Cupid alone without saying a word or discussing it with her, leaving her behind.

Regardless of how urgent the situation was at the time, Gu Yue had only just recovered to the Soul Venerable realm.

Even if he could achieve a similar Martial Soul fusion effect with her, he hadn't forgotten that he and Gu Yuena had previously teamed up to conceal certain crucial matters from Gu Yuena, who was currently unaware of them.

If Gu Yue were to undergo spirit fusion out of necessity, she would likely immediately realize that something was wrong with her, making the situation even more difficult to manage.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's ambiguous answer, Leng Yaozhu's doubts deepened.

She then looked at Ning Rongrong, who was sitting on the other side, having tidied her appearance, put her mask back on, and regained her usual elegant and noble demeanor, and tentatively asked:

"Could it be that, God of Love, you have something special to tell me?"

"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, don't be in such a hurry. Take a look at what this is first."

Huo Yuhao spoke up at the right moment, interrupting Leng Yaozhu's speculation.

As he spoke, a rose-gold vertical pupil appeared in the center of his forehead, with dazzling sun patterns extending outwards, radiating an incomparably strange light of destiny.

"You...this..."

When Leng Yaozhu saw the full appearance of this vertical pupil, she was so surprised that she couldn't even finish her sentence.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said calmly, "It seems you can also guess my true identity."

Realizing what had happened, almost without hesitation, under the shocked gazes of Leng Yulai and Gu Yue, Leng Yaozhu knelt down on one knee, her voice trembling slightly, and said:

"Leng Yaozhu, the current deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and a descendant of the Leng family, pays respects to his ancestor."

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu's head was still buzzing, and the whole world felt unreal.

The Eye of Destiny, which originated from the sacrifice of auspicious beasts, has been the subject of extremely detailed research in the top-secret archives of various large soul master forces, especially the Spirit Pagoda.

As the deputy tower master, Leng Yaozhu had already memorized those documents, so there was no way she could have made a mistake.

Leng Yaozhu never expected that the person she was trading with this time, the Federation's newly promoted divine craftsman and the lover of her best friend Ya Li, was actually Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years ago.

After the initial shock, Leng Yaozhu inevitably felt a sense of unease deep within her.

The Spirit Pagoda's current practices and core principles have long since deviated from the original intentions set by Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago.

Let alone fulfilling the promise to reduce the killing of soul beasts by human soul masters, the soul beast race is now being driven to the brink of extinction by humans.

Even more than two thousand years ago, due to the incident in the God Realm, the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda at that time took certain remedial measures for the soul beasts in order to avoid being held accountable by Huo Yuhao, the founder, when he returned to the Douluo Plane in the future.

However, the collapse of the Soul Beast race was ultimately a deeply entrenched problem that was difficult to reverse, and those measures did not achieve any substantial results.

Even though the Tianfeng Leng family, from which he was born, had declined for a long time in the past, what is the essential difference between his ultimate goal of reviving the family and the ancient family that now controls the Spirit Pagoda?

Everyone just wants to completely control the resources of the behemoth that is the Spirit Pagoda.

As for improving the already irreconcilable relationship between humans and soul beasts, that was not her first consideration.

As her thoughts raced through her mind, Leng Yaozhu lowered her head even further, cold sweat trickling down her forehead, her inner fear and anxiety reaching its peak.

Leng Yulai and Gu Yue, on the other hand, were much more straightforward in their shock.

Leng Yulai simply never expected that Ling Bing was actually Huo Yuhao.

As for Gu Yue, she was surprised that Huo Yuhao revealed his true identity so easily.

Will I still be able to approach my teacher without any reservations in the future?
