Zhong Shenxiu Looking at the girl in front of him who was only as tall as his shoulders, a serious look appeared in her light golden vertical pupils for the first time.
He remembered something.
Those vague, distant memories, like those from the previous life.
In that memory, what does the name Gu Yue represent?
Silver Dragon King.
One of the two clones formed by the split of Dragon God.
A terrifying existence that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Even if she has sealed her origin and most of her power, as long as she is willing to reveal a little...
Zhong Shenxiu's pupils shrank slightly.
He remembered the flash of light in Gu Yue's black eyes when they first met.
That light should not belong to a level 19 Elementalist.
That light is the light of an apex predator.
Same as him.
The corners of Zhong Shenxiu's mouth curved slightly.
Very light.
So faint that it's almost invisible.
But Gu Yue saw it.
Her eyes lit up slightly.
Then, she heard the voice of Zhong Shenxiu--
"Time. Place."
Four words.
Still brief.
But Gu Yue heard what was behind those four words.
That's fighting spirit.
It's excitement.
It's expectation.
Gu Yue's mood suddenly became complicated.
She raised her white chin, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her black eyes.
This guy!
When a girl like me asked him out, she actually had to have a fight before she could ask him out...
Shouldn't he think of something else?!
But soon, she felt relieved again.
Forget it.
To be a dragon, you cannot have both.
Let's deceive this Little Dragon-Man first. Then she will have the final say on how to rub it and flatten it. (￣▽￣)✧
Thinking of this, her mood improved again.
"Six o'clock in the evening, at the gate."
She said with a smile.
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
"See you or see you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The pace was a little faster than usual.
That back view conveyed a sense of impatience.
Gu Yue looked at his leaving figure, the smile on his lips getting deeper and deeper.
This man - no, this boy - he took the bait.
She hummed a little tune and turned around.
Then--
She was stunned.
Not far away, four faces were looking at her.
Tang Wulin's eyes were wide open, and the words "Are you crazy" were written in those long eyelashes.
Xie Xie's mouth opened into an O shape, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Wang Jinxi's cold face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, had a rare trace of dullness at this moment.
Zhang Yangzi forgot to eat the snacks in his hands, leaving them hanging in mid-air, precariously.
Four people, eight eyes, all staring straight at Gu Yue.
In those eyes, there was shock, confusion, and deep concern of "Are you out of your mind?"
Gu Yue: "...(;一_一)"
She took a deep breath.
"What are you looking at?"
Tang Wulin was the first to come to his senses. He swallowed and asked cautiously:
"Gu Yue... you just said... that you want to fight with Shenxiu?"
Gu Yue nodded naturally.
"Yes."
Tang Wulin's mouth twitched.
"Are you... sure?"
Gu Yue raised his eyebrows.
"What's the problem?"
Tang Wulin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
He could only look at Xie Xie and send out a distress signal with his eyes.
Xie Xie received the signal.
He cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said in a tone of "I've been here before":
"Gu Yue, I know that you have been getting closer to Zhong Shenxiu recently, and I also know that you are interested in him--"
Gu Yue's brows jumped.
"But," Xie Xie continued, "You are interesting, so you can't stop thinking about it!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Zhong Shenxiu disappeared.
"That's Zhong Shenxiu! It's the devil! It's the harvester!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became.
"In the past three months, he picked you eight times if not ten times, right? When were you not nailed to a tree as a hanging? When were you not dismantled to pieces?"
Gu Yue's brows jumped even more.
Xie Xie was completely unaware and continued to talk:
"You actually take the initiative to pick a fight with him now? Do you think you don't want to die quickly enough? Or--"
He paused, his eyes brightened slightly, and something that only adults knew flashed through his mind.
He looked at Gu Yue, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
In that kind of complexity, there is a hint of shock, a hint of surprise, and a hint of... "So you are this kind of person" subtle meaning.
"Could it be that..."
he murmured.
"This is the legendary..."
He swallowed and whispered the word:
"M?"
The moment the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.
Tang Wulin was stunned.
Wang Jinxi was stunned.
Zhang Yangzi The snack in his hand finally fell to the ground.
Gu Yue was also stunned.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Then, a smile appeared on Gu Yue's face.
That smile is very sweet.
Sweet as the spring sunshine.
As sweet as the summer breeze.
As sweet as...
The calm before the storm.
Xie Xie's pupils contracted violently.
He felt it.
I felt the breath of death.
He wants to escape.
But it's too late.
Gu Yue raised his hand.
The hand was white and slender, and looked harmless.
But the next moment--
A strong wind rose out of thin air, wrapped around Xie Xie's body, and rolled him directly into the air.
"Hey hey hey--?!"
Xie Xie screamed in horror.
Gu Yue didn't give him a chance to struggle.
Her palm pressed down gently.
Boom--
Xie Xie's body was like a cannonball, hitting the ground hard.
The ground cracked and gravel flew.
Xie Xie's whole body was embedded in the ground in a large shape, with smoke still coming out of his mouth.
"Cough cough cough--"
He coughed violently and struggled to get up.
But Gu Yue had already walked in front of him.
She looked at him condescendingly, with that sweet smile still on her face.
"Xie Xie ah~"
Her voice was soft and waxy.
"What did you just say? My sister didn't hear clearly. Can you say it again?"
Xie Xie shook his head crazily.
"No, no, no - I didn't say anything! (;′⌒`)"
Gu Yue tilted his head.
"Really?"
"Really! Realer than real gold!"
Gu Yue smiled.
Then, she raised her foot and stepped lightly on Xie Xie's back.
Bang--
Xie Xie's whole body sank another three inches.
"Remember," Gu Yue leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about sister's affairs. Understand?"
Xie Xie nodded crazily.
"I understand, I understand! I understand very well! (>_<)"
Gu Yue nodded with satisfaction, took back his feet, turned and left.
That light step, that elegant back, it was as if nothing had happened just now.
Only Xie Xie was left embedded in the ground, like a pinned turtle, struggling on all fours.
Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi stood aside and witnessed the whole process.
Silence.
A long silence.
Then, Zhang Yangzi swallowed and asked in a low voice:
"She... has always been like this?"
Tang Wulin thought for a while and said seriously:
"No, she is usually quite gentle."
Zhang Yangzi looked at the human-shaped hole on the ground that was still struggling.
"... Is this called gentleness?"
Tang Wulin was silent for a moment.
"At least be gentle with us."
Zhang Yangzi looked at Wang Jinxi.
Wang Jinxi remains expressionless.
But this time, he didn't say "just get used to it".
He just took a step back silently.
He took another step back.
Then turn around and leave.
Zhang Yangzi looked at his back, thoughtfully.
Then, he also took a step back.
He took another step back.
Turn around and leave.
