Gu Yuena's Husband, Lu Ming?! The Number One on the Golden Ranking is About to Be Revealed!

"Gu Yuena... how fortunate she is..."

Ah Yin's voice was very soft, carrying a barely perceptible tremor.

"To actually... have a husband who loves her so deeply."

Her gaze was somewhat dazed, as if through the Sky Screen, she could see the happy smile on the face of the Silver Dragon King she had never met.

That kind of happiness was something she had never experienced.

"If only... if only I also had a husband who cherished me this much..."

Ah Yin's eyes gradually reddened, her voice choked with sobs.

"Even if I had to die for him, I would be willing, without a moment's hesitation!"

Two streams of clear tears slid down her pale cheeks.

Without comparison, there is no pain.

Gu Yuena's circumstances, compared to hers, were like one in heaven, the other on earth.

Another woman's husband gifted a Super Divine Artifact, ranked second on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, as a token of love—that depth of affection was as profound as the sea.

And her husband, Tang Hao?

For his own selfish desires, he treated her as a Spirit Ring to be sacrificed at any time, forcing her to offer herself up—such conduct was no different from a beast's.

The immense disparity made Ah Yin's heart ache as if twisted by a knife.

Lu Ming listened to their discussions, his gaze deep, and fell into a brief contemplation.

The Eternal Life Pendant...

This exotic treasure was indeed something he had given to Gu Yuena.

He still remembered how much effort he had expended to forge this pendant.

He had ventured deep into the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave in the Extreme North Land, seeking the purest life core.

He had also dived down to the Deep Sea Abyss, ten thousand meters below, to collect the Seabed Divine Crystal that contained the eternal divine principles.

He had traversed mountains and rivers, crossed the starry river, gathered countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and finally, using his own source Divine Fire, spent eighty-one days forging it.

He had poured all his love and protection for her into this small pendant.

But that girl had probably always thought it was just an ordinary token.

Lu Ming let out a soft sigh in his heart.

Gu Yuena thought he was dead. Now, suddenly seeing the true origin and value of this treasure on the Golden Ranking... she would probably be crying her eyes out again.

That silly girl was perfect in every way, except she cried too easily.

She was practically made of water.

Just as he was pondering this, Ye Lingling's voice, tinged with a dreamy quality, rang out again.

"Senior Gu Yuena's husband gave her such a precious treasure, and after learning of his death, Senior Gu Yuena must have shed the sorrowful Tears of the Silver Dragon King... Wow, this is truly a touching love story!"

The young girl cupped her hands over her heart, her face full of longing.

"I just wonder... who exactly is this husband of Senior Gu Yuena? To have won the Silver Dragon King's heart, he must be a peerless hero!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming snapped back from his reverie, picked up his teacup, and blew on the floating tea leaves.

His expression was calm as he spoke indifferently.

"I'm afraid he's a person of considerable charm."

At these words, everyone was momentarily stunned.

And Bai Xiuxiu, who had been standing quietly by Lu Ming's side, a flicker of complex emotion passed through her deep eyes upon hearing this.

She naturally knew that Gu Yuena's husband was none other than the unfathomable Ancestor before her.

And precisely because she knew, her heart was filled with envy.

To have earned such devoted love from the Ancestor—that Silver Dragon King must be incredibly fortunate.

Just then, on the Golden Ranking, the information about the original owner of the "Eternal Life Pendant" finally fully manifested.

[Original Owner: Lu Ming]

[Current Owner: Gu Yuena (His Wife)]

When those two clear Golden Characters came into view, Ye Lingling's eyes instantly went wide as saucers!

She pointed at the sky, her voice stammering.

"Wh... what?!"

"Senior Gu Yuena's husband... is also called Lu Ming?!"

"Then... doesn't that mean he shares the same name as the Ancestor?!"

Ye Lingling was truly stunned; she had never imagined such a coincidence could exist in this world!

Boom!

The moment these words were spoken, every Ye Family elder present in the courtyard, including Ah Yin, felt their hearts tremble violently!

All eyes instinctively converged on the calm and composed young man seated upon the Main Throne.

Could it be...

An absurd yet heart-racing thought wildly took root in everyone's minds!

However, before that thought could fully form, Ye Qingxian, seated below, spoke first, breaking the eerie silence.

Her voice was steady, carrying a rational analysis.

"Lingling, don't let your imagination run wild."

Ye Qingxian shook her head and said, "When the Sky Screen previously announced the ranking for the Angel Holy Sword, it included a note."

"That note stated that the peerless expert who severely wounded the Sea God Poseidon and saved the First Generation Angel God Qian Yuhan was also named 'Lu Ming,' but that happened a full twenty thousand years ago."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Lu Ming, then continued, "And my Ye Family's Ancestor, according to the family records, is a figure from over ten thousand years ago. The timelines simply don't match!"

"Therefore, this Lu Ming is not that Lu Ming. It's merely a coincidental case of the same name."

Hearing Grand Elder Ye Qingxian's analysis, Ye Lingling also came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.

"Right, right, right! The Grand Elder is correct!"

She patted her ample chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Besides, Gu Yuena's senior Husband... has already died of old age. Yet our Ancestor is still sitting here perfectly fine!"

"So, they definitely can't be the same person!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt the reasoning was sound, and the absurd notion in their hearts faded considerably.

Indeed, the timelines didn't match, and life and death didn't align either.

How could they possibly be the same person?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard relaxed once more.

Everyone murmured among themselves, marveling at the vastness of the world and the strangeness of coincidences, that such a case of identical names could occur.

Only Lu Ming sat there from start to finish, a faint smile on his face.

He held his teacup, his gaze deep, and spoke not a single word.

Within the Ye Family Mansion, the lighthearted atmosphere brought on by the "coincidental name" did not last long.

Just as everyone was sighing to themselves, the Golden Ranking, eternal in the sky above, suddenly blazed with renewed radiance!

This time, the Golden Light was more dazzling and brilliant than any before!

It was as if all the light in heaven and earth had been absorbed into it at this moment, condensed into a single line of gilded characters that shook the soul!

[The first place on the Douluo Exotic Treasures Ranking is about to be revealed!]

As these words appeared, heaven and earth fell into a sudden silence.

No matter who they were, no matter where they were or what they were doing, everyone was seized entirely by this sudden proclamation.

Elsewhere.

The battlefield.

Jialing Pass.

At this moment, it had already transformed into a hell on earth woven from blood and fire.

The roar of battle shook heaven and earth. Countless Soul Skill lights interwove, clashed, and bloomed above the battlefield, unleashing a brilliant yet deadly display of fireworks.
