A Promise with Gu Yuena

To make Gu Yuena fall for him, he first had to make her take him seriously and set her eyes on him.

In this regard, Su Yu undoubtedly qualified.

"Little one, don't mess around."

Gu Yuena shook her head and spoke softly.

"Na'er, I'm not messing around. I'm serious."

Su Yu stared intently at Gu Yuena, his eyes filled with sincerity and solemnity.

He had to let Gu Yuena know that he was not joking.

Gu Yuena froze for a moment. Then, seeing the determination in Su Yu's eyes, her expression turned slightly dazed.

This child was actually serious?

All along, Gu Yuena had treated Su Yu as a child. But now, it seemed that Su Yu had truly grown up.

He could think for himself, and he was very mature.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuena broke into a smile. "Fine. When the day comes that you are invincible under heaven, I'll marry you."

Gu Yuena gave it serious thought.

Given her status, there were scarcely any people in the world worthy of her.

Su Yu was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

The Dragon God Reincarnation, upright in character, limitless in potential, and sharing her position—they could help each other.

It was not that Gu Yuena truly liked Su Yu already. Rather, Su Yu really was suitable.

There was another point, an extremely important one.

If she could use herself to make Su Yu work even harder to grow stronger and care more about the Soul Beast clan, it would not be a bad thing.

Whoever she married, she would be married all the same. If Su Yu truly became invincible under heaven, so what if she married him?

For the sake of the Soul Beast clan, she was willing to make certain sacrifices.

The current Gu Yuena was very clear-headed, and when she considered matters, she mostly did so from the perspective of benefits.

So long as she had not fallen into the vortex of love, Gu Yuena's mind still worked just fine.

"Na'er, do you mean that?"

Su Yu's eyes lit up with a hint of delight.

"However, I have one condition. I'll only give you twenty years."

"Twenty years from now, you must become a god."

"Twenty years from now, you'll be thirty-one. For ordinary people, becoming a Titled Douluo at that age would already be impressive, but you are no ordinary person."

"Ordinary people aren't worthy of me, Gu Yuena."

Gu Yuena looked at Su Yu, her tone cool and carrying a trace of pride.

She was the noble Silver Dragon King. How could just anyone be worthy of her?

Of course, she did not truly expect Su Yu to become a god by thirty-one. She merely wanted to push him to cultivate diligently.

She did not want him to go to the human world and have his eyes dazzled by its glitz and glamour.

The human world held far more temptations than the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thinking about it this way, if she could truly use herself to keep Su Yu in check and prevent him from straying down the wrong path, it would be well worth it.

"Fine, I agree. Na'er, just wait to marry me."

Su Yu agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Tang San could become a god at twenty-five. How could he possibly be worse than Tang San?

Before he turned twenty-five, he would surely ascend to a God Position.

"If you say it, you'd better do it. I don't like people who boast."

Gu Yuena sighed softly.

Su Yu laughed heartily. "Na'er, just watch. Who am I, Su Yu? I'll never disappoint you."

A surge of boldness rose in Su Yu's chest. I'm a Transmigrator with a cheat system. How could I let you look down on me?

Girl, just wait to become this lord's woman.

Su Yu knew that Gu Yuena had no real feelings for him right now. She was merely provoking him on purpose.

But he did not care. He had never expected this to happen overnight.

On this trip, he had not even expected Gu Yuena to agree. He only wanted her to know that he was no longer a child.

He wanted Gu Yuena to change the way she saw him. Otherwise, if she kept treating him like a child, then after enough time passed, there really would be no hope.

But what he had not expected was that Gu Yuena actually agreed.

Agreeing was even better. This gave him even more reason to pursue and conquer Gu Yuena.

Still, Gu Yuena was quite ruthless to dare use her own feelings as a bargaining chip.

Was this what Gu Yuena was like before falling in love?

After falling in love with her, she became so foolish that she seemed like a completely different person.

"Then it's settled, Na'er. Neither of us is allowed to go back on our word."

Su Yu extended his right hand. Gu Yuena paused, then extended her jade-like hand as well.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

The two high-fived three times, sealing their agreement.

Su Yu's eyes darted about. Then he suddenly spread his arms and, before Gu Yuena could react, pulled her into his embrace.

The masculine scent that rushed over her made Gu Yuena's heart tremble. Having never been close to a man before, she felt both startled and angry, along with an indescribable feeling.

This guy... how dare he?

Gu Yuena wanted to hit him, but she could not bring herself to do it.

With soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, Su Yu held Gu Yuena and spun around several times. Only then did he lower his head, their foreheads touching, their breaths within reach.

Gu Yuena carried an indescribably mysterious fragrance that was utterly captivating.

"Su Yu, you're being outrageous!"

Gu Yuena's face was flushed, and it was impossible to tell whether she was shy or angry.

"How dare you..."

Before Gu Yuena could finish speaking, Su Yu lowered his head and sealed her lips.

Her tender red lips carried an indescribably wonderful taste.

Gu Yuena was stunned for two seconds before gradually losing herself in that unfamiliar yet intoxicating sensation.

But she regained her senses quickly. Her pretty face darkened with anger, and an aura burst forth from her unconsciously.

Su Yu was sent flying. A layer of silver shield appeared around him as he slammed heavily into the distant wall of space.

Only then did Gu Yuena come to her senses, worry appearing on her pretty face.

"Su Yu, are you all right?"

With a flash, Gu Yuena appeared at Su Yu's side, her expression anxious.

He was the hope of the Soul Beast clan. Had she not just killed him?

Fortunately, Su Yu shakily climbed to his feet.

"Hiss, that hurts, that hurts!"

Su Yu bared his teeth, feeling pain throughout his entire body.

Fortunately, the Silver Dragon Inverse Scale protected him, so it was not a serious problem.

Gu Yuena's aura had been too powerful. The inverse scale had immediately judged it to be a fatal attack and automatically protected its master, so he had not actually suffered much injury.

After examining him carefully and seeing that Su Yu was unharmed, Gu Yuena felt somewhat relieved. But in the next moment, boundless anger rose in her heart.

"You little bastard, messing around like that, messing around like that—do you have a death wish?"

Gu Yuena grabbed Su Yu's ear with one hand as she scolded him in an exasperated voice.

Her temperament had always been cool and detached, and she rarely showed much emotion. This time, Su Yu had nearly broken through her defenses.

If something had truly happened to Su Yu, she really would not have known what to do.

"Hehe!"

Though Gu Yuena was lecturing him, Su Yu merely chuckled.

"You're still laughing? Still laughing?"

Gu Yuena was furious. Her other hand began swatting Su Yu as well.

"Do you not value your own life?"

"Do you know how dangerous that was?"

Gu Yuena was still deeply frightened.

Thankfully, she had given Su Yu the inverse scale earlier. Otherwise, he would already have been a pile of mangled flesh.

This little bastard had actually dared to "ambush" her. His nerve truly knew no bounds.
