"..."
"Why else?"
Tang Luochuan fell silent for a long while, then gave Gu Yue a look as though she were an idiot.
If he had not been born to his own parents, could he have been born to the person in front of him instead? How had Gu Yue even managed to ask that question?
"I..."
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing..."
Seeing Tang Luochuan's bewildered expression, Gu Yue hurriedly waved her hand and said somewhat awkwardly. Yet the light in her eyes did not fade because of his words.
The guy before her really was human, but that did not mean... he had always been one.
The Golden Dragon King was dead. Of course she knew that.
Yet the person before her had appeared in such a young form, which could only mean one thing: he was still alive.
Dead, but not completely dead.
If the Golden Dragon King had truly vanished, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline would have disappeared entirely from this world rather than transferred to someone else.
That could only mean that, through some kind of opportunity, he had been reborn on the Douluo Continent, even taking on a human body...
Good thing you were clever, kid. If you had really disappeared, this Silver Dragon King would have been all alone.
Gu Yue looked deeply at Tang Luochuan. There was not much emotion on her face, but she wore a beautiful smile as she sighed inwardly.
This guy...
He really is pretty smart!
No wonder Na'er is so utterly smitten with him.
So you really aren't human after all!
"Mm..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing her like this, Tang Luochuan hesitated for a moment before asking.
She smiled. She actually smiled?
He did not know what she was thinking, but judging from the current situation, things were probably not that simple.
Naturally, Tang Luochuan had no idea what Gu Yue was thinking. Even if he had known, however, he would have been deeply shocked by her reasoning, because...
There was really nothing wrong with that line of thought. When the Golden Dragon King died, she had only just emerged from seclusion and did not even know how he had died. She could be said to know nothing at all.
She also did not know that the Golden Dragon King Bloodline had remained behind. Now that he had appeared, the odds of him having been reborn were simply too great.
"It's nothing."
"It's just that I feel... there's a huge attraction between our Martial Souls. Haven't you noticed?"
Gu Yue looked at him with a serious expression.
To keep him from misunderstanding, she had deliberately specified the attraction between their Martial Souls rather than between the two of them. After all, while Na'er had acknowledged him, she had not yet...
"I have felt that."
"But why is that?"
Tang Luochuan put on a thoughtful expression before asking cooperatively.
"Your Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon King. Perhaps that name holds no standing across the continent, but I think you should know of the immense power he possessed from birth..."
"He was one of the only two Lords of Beasts in the world."
Gu Yue took a deep breath. A serious look appeared on her face as she stared straight at him and spoke each word clearly.
"And my Martial Soul is called the Elementalist. But according to an ancestral tome left behind by my family, that is not an accurate name. My Martial Soul actually originates from another powerful ruler of Soul Beasts..."
"The Silver Dragon King."
Gu Yue took a deep breath, her expression solemn as she looked directly at him and said bluntly.
As she spoke, she released her Martial Soul. There appeared to be no change on the surface, but under her deliberate display, silver Dragon Scales emerged over her body.
"This is my Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon King."
"Gold and silver."
"I think..."
"This may be why I wanted to come to Eastsea City, and why I felt something strange the moment I first saw you."
Gu Yue murmured.
After saying that, she quietly watched him. She did not seem to intend to say anything more, instead waiting for him to accept everything she had told him.
After all, for a boy still so young...
That was quite a lot to take in.
"..."
Under Gu Yue's gaze, Tang Luochuan fell silent.
In truth, he really was silent.
So I really am different in Gu Yue's eyes. Why did she tell me about the relationship between the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King so quickly?
In the Original Work, didn't she only barely come to understand this before the Thousand Day Dragon Burial? This...
This script is all wrong, isn't it?
"You can take your time accepting this. There's no rush."
"From now on, let's be together. I mean for cultivation and daily life, not the kind of together you're thinking of..."
Gu Yue said slowly with a smile on her face.
"..."
Hearing her words, Tang Luochuan hesitated. If they were together for both cultivation and daily life, how was that any different from being together with her?
"If you have time later..."
"You can come to my home with me too. My family will prove everything I said, of course..."
"Provided you're willing."
Gu Yue looked at him and continued.
"Cough—"
Hearing that, Tang Luochuan froze completely.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yue was somewhat surprised and quickly asked.
"No."
"I was just thinking..."
"Are you saying you want to take me to meet your parents?"
Tang Luochuan took a deep breath, then said with a smile.
"Mm..."
"Mm????"
Hearing that, Gu Yue's eyes instantly widened, and she stood there in a daze.
No...
That's not what I meant!
Although I have thought about how things might develop later, we're both still children. It's not that soon, okay!
Tang Luochuan: Oh no, the Silver Dragon King has her eye on me!
P.S.: I saw some readers saying that the Dragon God Bloodline is not necessarily needed, so I'd like to ask everyone here whether the bloodline the Competitive System obtained from Yue'er in the synopsis is still needed.
Type 1 if you want to synthesize the Dragon God Bloodline.
Type 2 if you don't want to synthesize the Dragon God Bloodline.
Thank you, everyone!
