Sister Yue'er? Brother Cheng, Why Did You Defect!

Cheng Duoyi turned his head and smiled at her.

"Hello, Sister Yue'er, my name is Cheng Duoyi."

Gu Yue stared straight into Cheng Duoyi's eyes, a flash of complex emotions crossing her gaze—surprise, heartache, and, more than anything, tenderness.

"You called me Sister Yue'er?" Gu Yue asked, surprised.

Cheng Duoyi tilted his head, looking rather handsome, though in Gu Yue's eyes, he looked even more adorable.

"Is that not allowed? If you don't like it, I can call you Classmate Gu Yue."

"No need! I like the name Sister Yue'er very much!"

Gu Yue said quickly, fearing that Cheng Duoyi might change his mind.

Seeing Gu Yue's expression, Cheng Duoyi chuckled inwardly: With Gu Yue around, it will be even easier for me to live off a woman in the future, and besides...

The two locked eyes.

Cheng Duoyi could feel his heart give a violent thud.

It was the Dragon God Heart leaping and cheering; it was far more powerful than when Na'er was around. Just by sitting beside her, Cheng Duoyi could sense that the vitality within his body had stopped leaking and was slowly recovering.

If they were to hold hands or embrace, he believed it would recover even faster.

Gu Yue looked at Cheng Duoyi and secretly vowed to herself: I will definitely protect you well and won't let you suffer any harm!

She saw Tang Wuling holding Cheng Duoyi's hand and asked gently, "May I call you Little Yi?"

Cheng Duoyi thought for a moment: "Little Yi? That's fine."

Gu Yue was overjoyed: "I see your complexion is a bit poor. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to help you?"

"My body is quite special; you might not be able to help me."

Cheng Duoyi finished speaking.

Gu Yue said: "That's not necessarily true. I see this classmate has been holding your hand the whole time. I imagine she is able to help you, and if it were me, I believe I could do the same."

Cheng Duoyi's left hand had been held tightly by Tang Wuling's right hand; for Tang Wuling, this helped her cultivation, and for Cheng Duoyi, it helped slow the loss of his vitality.

Hearing this, Tang Wuling looked at Gu Yue, her tone sincere: "Can you really help Brother Yi'er?"

Seeing Tang Wuling's sincere eyes, Gu Yue was at a loss. She hadn't expected Tang Wuling to say such a thing, nor had she expected that the first priority in her heart would be Cheng Duoyi.

Thinking of Tang Wuling from Na'er's memories and the things Tang Wuling had done over the past three years, Gu Yue's hostility toward her vanished, though she didn't feel much affection either. After all, she didn't want her husband to be snatched away by Tang Wuling!

Having Na'er was already giving her a headache.

Now, another person containing the Golden Dragon King bloodline had appeared—wasn't this just increasing the difficulty?

Fortunately, Gu Yue could feel that Cheng Duoyi was not repulsed by her.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Cheng Duoyi actually had some affection for her.

Gu Yue replied with a firm tone: "I can!"

Although the three were speaking quietly, Leng Xue'er could still hear them. She was even more curious about Gu Yue; if even the Title Douluo Life Douluo couldn't cure Cheng Duoyi's problem, how could Gu Yue?

Moreover, she seemed very familiar with Cheng Duoyi—what was going on there?

Seeing that Cheng Duoyi held no hostility toward Gu Yue, Leng Xue'er didn't act on her own to drive her away, deciding instead to ask her aunt, Leng Yaozhu, to look into Gu Yue's background.

Tang Wuling heard this and looked at Cheng Duoyi. For some reason, her eyes turned slightly red, though her tone revealed happiness, and she gripped Cheng Duoyi's hand a bit tighter: "Brother Yi'er, this sister can cure you. Would you like to try?"

Cheng Duoyi looked at Tang Wuling and nodded: "Sure."

Tang Wuling's expression dimmed.

Cheng Duoyi then patted Tang Wuling's head: "Once I've recovered, if anyone bullies you in the future, I'll be the one to deal with them!"

Tang Wuling looked up, met Cheng Duoyi's eyes, and nodded heavily: "Mm! I believe in you, Brother Yi'er!"

Behind the three, Yun Xiao stared unblinkingly at the table.

The table was truly just a table.

It was as if there was something on it attracting him.

Xie Xie had become addicted to the drama and kept poking Yun Xiao, wanting to say something, but Yun Xiao never responded.

"I think it would be better if you acted like you didn't know anything," Yun Xiao finally couldn't help but turn to say to Xie Xie.

Xie Xie put on an "I understand" expression: "I get it, I get it. I didn't expect it to be this exciting; Brother Cheng is truly impressive!"

At this moment, Leng Xue'er stood on the podium.

"Teacher Wu is not here right now, so you may communicate among yourselves. Later, when Teacher Wu returns, we will start self-introductions from the student on the far right."

The students below gathered in twos and threes to chat upon hearing this.

Some knew each other, but most were strangers.

The subject of most of their conversations was the new student, Gu Yue.

"I didn't expect Classmate Gu Yue's level to reach fifteen, and her first soul ring is actually a hundred-year soul ring, equivalent to her fusing with a hundred-year soul spirit. I wonder if Gu Yue is looking for followers; I want to be her follower."

"I, on the other hand, want to be the lackey of the classmate sitting next to Gu Yue."

"And why is that?"

"Look! He calls Teacher Leng 'Sister Xue'er,' so she must be his relative. If I build a good relationship with him and ask him to put in a good word for some extra tutoring later, wouldn't that be a breeze?"

"Now that you mention it, you're actually right. Why didn't I think of that?"

Seeing that Leng Xue'er had left them to chat amongst themselves, Xie Xie couldn't wait to look at Cheng Duoyi: "Brother Cheng, you're something else! As expected of your charm, Brother Cheng; a female classmate already wants to get close to you so quickly. But I have to say, we're still students, so we should prioritize our studies."

Cheng Duoyi turned his head and curled his lip: "You really have an overactive imagination. How old are we right now? Of course we prioritize our studies; we were just discussing our studies earlier."

"Discussing studies, I get it, I totally get it." Xie Xie wore a lecherous grin.

"Why do you look so sleazy when you smile?" Tang Wuling couldn't help but remark.

Gu Yue didn't have much affection for Xie Xie either: "Keep talking nonsense, and I'll smash your teeth in."

Xie Xie felt a chill run down his spine and his heart tighten; seeing the look in Gu Yue's eyes, he actually shut his mouth.

Yun Xiao remained motionless and didn't say a word, his heart filled only with admiration for Xie Xie. You are truly brave. If you provoked Brother Cheng and he gave you a punch, wouldn't he just cripple you on the spot?

In Yun Xiao's eyes, Xie Xie's physique couldn't compare to Zhou Changxi's, so he wouldn't be able to take it at all.

Cheng Duoyi said: "We are all civilized people, let's not talk nonsense."

Xie Xie hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, I knew you liked me... pfft, pfft, pfft, I knew you cared about me."

"Ugh, how disgusting. A grown man talking like that—anyone who didn't know better would think there was something wrong with your sexual orientation," Gu Yue retorted.

"You..."

"Hmm?"

The moment Xie Xie saw the look in Gu Yue's eyes, he immediately lost his temper.

"Xie Xie, I don't like girls, and besides, I already call her Sister Yue'er, so naturally, I listen to her on certain matters."

Xie Xie really wanted to blurt out, Brother Cheng, why have you defected to the enemy?

But he didn't dare say it...
