"The One Who Becomes the Dragon God Will Be Me" (Please Add to Favorites and Keep Reading)

Returning to her own body, Gu Yue once again thought over everything she had seen and heard in Yu Tianshuo's sea of consciousness.

She knew that although her words had been tempting, they still weren't enough to fool that guy. He was a clever one, and after being tricked once by the Ice Dragon King, he would only become more cautious.

Even so, she smiled. Then she murmured to herself,

"But this is enough to keep him hooked for now. And with Na'er staying by his side, I refuse to believe that in the end, his feelings won't get in the way. Heh heh heh, just you wait, little Tian Shuo."

Gu Yue wore the smile of a victor and said,

"The one who becomes the Dragon God will be me."

With that, she sank back into slumber, imagining that by the time she woke again, it would be time to claim the fruits of victory.

Back with Yu Tianshuo, he returned to his own body. The odd sensation in his hand made him pause, and he looked down.

Oh, he was still holding on to Na'er's head. Nothing to worry about, then.

Thinking this, he eased his grip and stroked Na'er's smooth silver hair, marveling inwardly,

This really does feel nice. It's so smooth, and I can even smell a faint fragrance. I wonder what kind of shampoo the Silver Dragon King uses.

Come to think of it, does the Silver Dragon King wash her hair?

Yu Tianshuo fell into thought.

What he didn't notice was that Na'er's cheeks had turned bright red. The girl who had seemed so cool and distant at first now looked much more lively.

After giving up on thinking it through, Yu Tianshuo led Na'er out of his room and brought her to his senior brother and sister-in-law.

After asking his sister-in-law to take Na'er to buy a few new outfits, Yu Tianshuo returned to the training ground, planning to get in some more body training with his master before dinner.

But before he could go looking for his master, the man silently appeared behind him as soon as he entered the training ground.

Yu Tianshuo sensed his master and turned around, only to be taken aback by the question.

"Is this another one of those Dragon Kings?"

Yu Tianshuo was dumbfounded.

Yu Tianshuo was stunned.

Yu Tianshuo looked utterly incredulous.

???

Watching his disciple's expression grow more and more twisted, Dugu Bo confirmed his guess.

He couldn't help it. He knew his disciple too well.

He might not be able to tell what the boy was up to just by looking at his backside.

But one gesture or expression was enough for him to guess the gist of it.

Dugu Bo sighed, then solemnly placed a hand on Yu Tianshuo's shoulder and said,

"Can you handle it? If there's anything you can't deal with, you have to tell me. I might not be able to solve it for you, but another person means another perspective."

Seeing his master's concerned expression and hearing the concern in his voice, Yu Tianshuo felt a warmth in his heart.

So Yu Tianshuo smiled at his master and said,

"It's fine, Master. They're only little Dragon Kings. Just watch your disciple handle them."

As he spoke, he even made a gesture like someone who'd lost the Korean market.

Dugu Bo didn't say anything more. Instead, he changed the subject.

"So, what should we do with that little one? Keep her around or kill her outright?"

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture and asked Yu Tianshuo.

Yu Tianshuo broke into a sweat. Killing her was definitely out of the question. If he laid a hand on her, Di Tian would probably be at the door the very next second.

Yu Tianshuo thought it over briefly and ultimately suggested keeping her around for now. After all, Na'er was a link between him and Gu Yue; keeping her was just a matter of setting one more place at the table.

After discussing it with his master, Yu Tianshuo took off his shirt and prepared for training.

Neither of them noticed Na'er secretly watching Yu Tianshuo from the entrance to the training ground. But when she saw him take off his shirt, all she could do was blush and run away.

What Na'er didn't notice was that above Dugu Manor, Di Tian was hiding his aura in a spatial passageway, watching everything.

He scratched his black hair, unable to make sense of what his lord's actions meant.

What Di Tian didn't notice, however, was that a pair of eyes inside the spatial rift was watching everything too.

Just as Di Tian sensed something and turned to search for whoever was spying, those eyes vanished into the spatial rift.

After searching in vain, Di Tian also disappeared into the sky through the spatial passageway.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yuan took his wife and children along with Na'er to buy clothes.

As for Yu Tianshuo, his master's Bone Whip had him yelping like a stuck pig.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

Today was the day Dugu Bo would be honored as a titled Douluo serving the imperial family.

Early that morning, Na'er charged into Yu Tianshuo's room with Dugu Yan, not even giving him time to get up and ask what was going on.

The two of them leaped straight into Yu Tianshuo's arms. They couldn't possibly hurt him with that little force, of course, but he still let out a muffled groan, clutching his stomach and pretending he'd been badly hurt.

Just as the two little ones began looking at him with concern, Yu Tianshuo pulled the quilt over their heads and began their punishment.

He tickled their most sensitive spots through the quilt, and only stopped when they started begging for mercy. Then he lowered his wicked hands and let them crawl out.

Wiping away tears of laughter, the two spoke to Yu Tianshuo in soft voices.

"Brother Tian Shuo, get up! The ceremony is this afternoon. Since it's still early, take us around and show us the sights~."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan pulled her Na'er-jiejie into joining her in pleading with Yu Tianshuo.

Na'er copied Dugu Yan, using the same soft voice to plead,

"Please, Brother Tian Shuo."

Looking at Na'er like this, Yu Tianshuo felt as if the world had turned upside down.

Na'er was the Silver Dragon King's avatar; she shouldn't have had so many emotions. But for some reason, in just a month, she had become like this.

She was so innocent and adorable, practically a six-year-old child. Every day, aside from playing with Dugu Yan, she stuck to him whether she had a reason to or not. It was as if, after passing along Gu Yue's message, she had completely turned into a child.

But with such an obedient little sister, Yu Tianshuo couldn't complain. What else could he do but spoil her for now?

Still, he kept his guard up. The Ice Dragon King's betrayal was fresh in his mind, after all. If Na'er's current state was also an act, then the moment she struck would be the moment she went for the kill.

He patted both girls on the head, then sent them to wait in the garden while he washed up and got dressed.

His clothes were fairly formal. His master had taken him to have them made just a few days ago.

After all, once he had absorbed his fourth Soul Ring, he'd shot up in height again. He was already 1.9 meters tall. If you didn't know his age, you'd never guess he was a six-year-old who was almost seven.

But just as Yu Tianshuo finished getting dressed and arrived in the garden,

a voice both familiar and loathsome reached his ears.

"Well, look at that, two adorable little girls. How about coming to play with big brother?"
