caster—Electrolux
"Wait, Xiao Yu, why are you taking off your clothes?"
Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu standing by the bed and casually starting to undress, Gu Yuena hurriedly stopped her.
"I'm getting ready for bed!" Qian Gu Huang Yu said indifferently.
"But this is my room!" Despite her words, Gu Yuena showed no intention of throwing her out. Instead, she stared fixedly at Qian Gu Huang Yu.
"Yeah, we'll sleep together."
"Th-This..."
Gu Yuena was at a loss after Qian Gu Huang Yu's blunt attack, taking half a step back to put some distance between them.
Yet Qian Gu Huang Yu was a woman of action. She stepped forward and placed both hands on Gu Yuena's delicate shoulders.
A sly look flickered in her wine-red eyes as Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Gu Yue, it's perfectly normal for friends to sleep together among humans! Don't overthink it."
That was a lie. Qian Gu Huang Yu had always slept alone before.
"Is... is that so?" Gu Yuena was somewhat unable to make sense of the situation.
"Of course. But don't do this with other humans, okay? I'm the only one who's your friend!"
Seeing the clear, foolish innocence in Gu Yuena's eyes, Qian Gu Huang Yu silently added another safeguard, afraid that Gu Yuena would be tricked by someone else.
"Don't worry. I'll help you adapt to human life more quickly." As she spoke, Qian Gu Huang Yu patted Gu Yuena's back, signaling for her to relax.
"It's lucky I have you."
Night fell.
Holding Gu Yuena in her arms and breathing in her fresh, elegant scent, Qian Gu Huang Yu could not help feeling that all of this was unreal.
She had come to Douluo Continent eight years ago, and it had only been two years since she awakened her martial soul. Yet now, the final boss of Douluo Dalu 3 lay in her arms like jade, while the boss of Douluo Dalu 1 had become her lackey. It was as though all that remained was dealing with the boss of Douluo Dalu 2.
[Now isn't the time to relax. A solid alliance cannot be maintained by feelings or interests alone. Only the combination of interests and feelings can form a truly unbreakable alliance.]
That was why Qian Gu Huang Yu used these intimate gestures to close the distance between herself and Gu Yuena.
But had she truly not fallen for her?
The next day.
After getting up, Qian Gu Huang Yu first took Gu Yuena around the Spirit Pagoda. They ate breakfast while passing the cafeteria, and after she gave Gu Yuena a brief introduction to the Spirit Pagoda, they parted ways. Gu Yuena went to find Leng Yang Jun, while Qian Gu Huang Yu went to train with Di Tian according to Qian Gu Die Ting's arrangements.
"Brother Gu, Xiao Yu will be in your care from now on." Qian Gu Die Ting spoke sincerely. Though he had arranged for Qian Gu Huang Yu to become Di Tian's disciple for the sake of political struggle, she was still the child he thought most highly of. Naturally, he cared deeply about her future.
"Please rest assured, Pagoda Master," Di Tian replied calmly.
Before long, Di Tian and Qian Gu Huang Yu arrived at a training room arranged by Qian Gu Die Ting. After briefly introducing the room's functions, Qian Gu Die Ting left.
The entire training room was extremely spacious. Apart from a device that could regulate pressure, there was nothing else inside.
With no outsiders present, Di Tian relaxed as well. "Senior..."
"Alright, don't call me Senior. Just call me Xiao Yu, like they do, Teach-er?"
When she said "teacher," Qian Gu Huang Yu deliberately blinked at Di Tian, looking utterly adorable.
"Alright." Di Tian smiled faintly and continued, "Xiao Yu, how are you feeling now? Is there anything you need my help with?" Naturally, Di Tian was asking about Qian Gu Huang Yu's recovery. In his view, the girl before him was a God King rebuilding her cultivation. He only needed to help her regain her strength; there was practically nothing for him to teach.
An awkward expression appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face. "To break through the limitations of reincarnation and rebirth, I not only lost part of my memories, but my cultivation also fell greatly. In terms of elemental control, I may not even be your equal."
Di Tian nodded without doubt. How could one bring several thousand divine artifacts into reincarnation without paying a price?
"What do you need me to do?"
Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Teach me some things about elemental control and swordsmanship first."
Although Bei Gong Li was also a quasi-god, her comprehension of the elements was ultimately inferior to Di Tian's. With Di Tian's guidance, Qian Gu Huang Yu would also have another point of reference.
As for swordsmanship, Qian Gu Huang Yu had already decided to make the Sword of Separation her primary weapon in the future. But she had no intention of being like some King of Streetlights, possessing the strongest sword yet knowing nothing about swordsmanship.
"If you don't use the sword you displayed before, do you currently have a suitable sword?" Di Tian swiftly identified the crux of the matter and raised the key question.
Naturally, she could not use the Sword of Separation right now. Nor could she take another divine artifact from the Gate of Babylon, since there would be no way to explain it. She could not exactly forge a sword out of rare metals, could she?
As Qian Gu Huang Yu's silence grew deafening, Di Tian was already prepared. Silver light flashed, and a longsword resembling green crystal appeared in his hand.
The moment the longsword appeared, the entire training room was instantly filled with the aura of life.
Di Tian said, "My Lord had already foreseen this, so she had a portion of the Spirit Gold beneath the Lake of Life cut off in advance and forged into this sword. Consider it our gift to you."
"You've gone to great expense." Qian Gu Huang Yu accepted the sword, a trace of gratitude rising from the depths of her heart.
Di Tian shook his head with a smile. "It was the Fountain of Youth you provided that allowed My Lord to emerge from seclusion ahead of time. We are merely returning the favor. Besides, Spirit Gold can rapidly recover when watered with Spring of Life."
Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately understood. "Don't worry. There'll be plenty."
"This is... Spirit Gold?"
An aged, mysterious voice suddenly rang out in Qian Gu Huang Yu's Sea of Consciousness.
Her eyes widened slightly, and Qian Gu Huang Yu was overjoyed. "Elder Ilex, you're awake?"
After the Holy Grail was partially repaired and able to perform a second Holy Grail Summoning, Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately carried out a Heroic Spirit Summoning.
The one she summoned was the Holy Necromancer, the Calamity of the Undead, Electrolux—the man Three Waters had cruelly killed in the original work because there were not enough Monthly Tickets!
Looking across both Douluo Dalu 1 and Douluo Dalu 2, was there anyone more suited to the caster class than Electrolux?
However, during the time Electrolux had remained on Douluo Continent, he had only existed as a soul. Therefore, no matter how Qian Gu Huang Yu positioned him or which stage of Electrolux she chose, he was only a strand of Divine Sense.
That was why Electrolux had remained asleep in Qian Gu Huang Yu's Sea of Consciousness ever since she summoned him.
This was the first time Electrolux had awakened since arriving in Douluo Dalu 3.
Electrolux's weak voice sounded out. "Though I do not yet know who you are, if you trust this old man, press the Spirit Gold against your forehead."
"Alright." Qian Gu Huang Yu agreed and immediately held the Spirit Gold vertically against the center of her brow.
"Very well. Since you trust this old man, I will not disappoint you. No matter what happens later, you must not panic. Focus your mind and calm your breath. Leave everything to me, understand?"
Elder Ilex, I've finally revived you.
