Let Me See

"Not yet."

Gu Yue repeatedly applied her eye makeup in front of the mirror.

"Di Tian and the others are still preparing."

"Forcing the Golden Dragon King to return isn't something that can be done on a whim. It's not that simple."

"The Golden Dragon in my body sensed it. Tang Wulin does indeed carry the Golden Dragon King's aura, but there isn't much of it." Na'er asked doubtfully, "And his power is far too weak. Is the Golden Dragon King really inside him?"

"I saw it with my own eyes." The Golden Dragon King's wails flashed through her mind, and Gu Yue's voice carried a trace of hatred. "The reason you can't sense much is because a God King placed eighteen seals on him, locking the Golden Dragon King firmly inside Tang Wulin."

"Kill him?" Na'er was succinct. Whenever Su Qiu wasn't involved, she was still quite decisive.

Gu Yue's hand paused as she held the eyebrow pencil, and a frosty glint appeared in her eyes in the mirror. "There's no need."

"The God King who placed those seals left behind a strand of Divine Sense within them."

"With the God Realm gone, that rootless, source-less Divine Sense will dissipate sooner or later."

"Though it could be dealt with after some trouble, there's no need to do that."

"That God King was Tang San. If I'm not mistaken, Tang Wulin is his descendant. We only need to take the Golden Dragon King."

"Killing Tang Wulin would be forcing Tang San into a desperate fight. Who knows what contingencies he might have left behind on the Douluo Continent?"

Tang San had quietly possessed the Douluo Plane without anyone noticing. Gu Yue didn't believe he had no other cards up his sleeve.

His father possessed a plane.

Then what the hell was his mother doing?

"If we only take the Golden Dragon King, Tang San won't risk his life. Nor will we need to pay too great a price." Gu Yue said seriously, "We'll deal with the rest after the Golden Dragon King returns."

"We'll have plenty of time to settle the score afterward."

"Is that so?" Na'er trusted Gu Yue on such matters. After all, she possessed all the Shocking Wisdom.

When Na'er had been split off, Gu Yue hadn't given her a single bit of wisdom.

Now, one of them was a brainless brute, while the other was an emotional idiot.

With business concluded, it was time for personal matters.

"What about Su Qiu? What are you planning to do with him?" Na'er began probing. Su Qiu's talent had been far too impressive today, and she feared Gu Yue might change her mind.

"Su Qiu?" Gu Yue asked in confusion. "Didn't I already say it? Sooner or later, I'll make him fall in love with me, just as you fell in love with him."

Having come up with such a world-shaking plan, Gu Yue had never considered giving up on it. Perhaps she had once been wary of Su Qiu's potential, but now that she was about to obtain the Golden Dragon King's power, her mindset had completely changed.

What talent? What nonsense? No matter how powerful he became in the future, could he surpass the fusion of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings?

A fine general like Su Qiu was destined not to escape her grasp.

"Tch, you?" Na'er said disdainfully. She stepped forward and casually rummaged through Gu Yue's cosmetics.

Then she clicked her tongue twice.

Na'er said nothing, yet it felt as though she had said everything.

Of course Gu Yue knew what she meant. She turned her head to look at Na'er, who was naturally gorgeous and wore no makeup at all.

An unpleasant feeling rose in her heart. It was the first time she had felt such an emotion, and she didn't know it was called having her defenses broken.

"Isn't it all because of you?!" Gu Yue clenched her fists. "I never should have listened to you and changed into this appearance."

"It's completely useless!"

"How is that my fault? I only made a suggestion. You didn't have to listen." Na'er made no effort to hide the smugness on her face.

"Hmph, but it doesn't matter. In a while, I can use growth as an excuse to return to my original appearance."

"Ah!" Na'er immediately changed expression, looking worried as if she were thinking of Gu Yue's sake. "Wouldn't that be too fast? It'd be bad if people became suspicious. You should take it slower."

"Hehe." Gu Yue merely laughed and said nothing.

"Hmph." Seeing that it had no effect, Na'er gave a soft snort.

After wandering around Gu Yue's bedroom, she discovered a diary on the desk.

Na'er picked it up and opened it. The contents made her eyes light up.

[Su Qiu Observation Diary]

[1: Whenever I expose my legs, the frequency of Su Qiu's glances noticeably increases. Testing has confirmed that he likes it when I wear revealing clothes.]

[2: As for appearance and styling, Su Qiu seems to like a single ponytail. No, it's twin tails. No, that was loose hair over the shoulders. He seems to simply like whatever looks good.]

[3: Su Qiu likes meddling in other people's business. No, humans seem to call that doing good deeds?]

[4:.]

Before Na'er could continue reading, Gu Yue had already snatched it back.

"Don't!" Na'er immediately pounced at her, trying to snatch it back. "Just one look! Let me have one more look!"

Repeatedly using spatial teleportation, Gu Yue dodged Na'er's various pounces.

Clutching the diary tightly to her chest, Gu Yue took two steps back, wariness beneath her exquisite eye makeup. "You're not allowed to look!"

She had never expected Na'er to suddenly rummage through her desk and discover this diary recording Su Qiu's preferences.

"Just one look!"

A faint dragon's roar seemed to echo in Na'er's footsteps. She was getting serious now, suddenly launching a surprise attack from the side. "Let me see it already! Maybe I can even help you come up with ideas!"

Though she said that, her eyes were filled with longing for the diary.

"Looks like I've indulged you too many times and made you lose sight of what matters." Gu Yue slowly rose into the air, unleashing her full power. "What I give you is yours."

"If I don't give it to you, you can't take it!"

Rumble—!

Sounds as if the heavens and earth were collapsing rang out continuously.

Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and the others ran out of their rooms, rubbing their ears from the vibrations as they shouted angrily, "Why are you going crazy in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

"Huh?"

Once they realized the noise was coming from Gu Yue's room, they all fell silent, their anger vanishing instantly.

"What... is happening?" Zhang Yangzi asked weakly. "What's going on in Gu Yue's room?"

"Sounds like they're fighting." Tang Wulin rubbed his eyes. He could sense the Golden Dragon power within Na'er erupting. "Na'er is in there too."

"They didn't actually start fighting, did they?" Remembering how the two had been at odds during the day, Wang Jinxi made a perfectly reasonable guess.

"Uh..." Upon hearing that Na'er was inside as well, Xie Xie recalled the instrument that had been smashed that afternoon and immediately shuddered.

He quickly changed his tune. "Actually, it's not that loud."

"Yeah. Haha."

The group scratched their heads, preparing to return to their rooms.

"Have you two had enough?!"

Forced out of meditation, Su Qiu rushed out of his room and kicked Gu Yue's door.

"What time is it now? Are you not going to sleep?!"

"Everyone still has training tomorrow!"

Only after kicking the door did Su Qiu realize this was Gu Yue's room.

The air went still.

The earth-shattering noises inside immediately stopped.

"Brother Su... awesome." Xie Xie and the others lowered their voices and gave Su Qiu a thumbs-up.

"Ahem." Only then did Su Qiu start to feel guilty. He had acted too impulsively just now. Gu Yue wouldn't hold a grudge, would she?

He silently returned to his room and hid under the covers for a while. Everything remained normal, as though nothing had happened. Su Qiu let out a sigh of relief. It seemed to be fine.

The next day, Wu Changkong was somewhat surprised as he looked at the gathered members of Zero Class. Why did everyone look so listless, as if they hadn't slept well?

He had stayed up all night studying the plans for their upcoming training and had not returned to the dormitory.
