Gu Yue: The Dragon Queen Won't Dislike Me Just Because I'm Missing Something, Will She?

Three years had passed since the last time he had slain the nine-ringed Titled Evil Soul Master.

At the East Sea soul train station, a youth who looked like an Immortal stepped out onto the platform.

His white robes were as pristine as snow.

His sleeves fluttered in the breeze.

He looked as if he had just stepped out of an ink wash painting.

It was Li Luo.

Beside him, Tang Wulin was carrying bags upon bags, huffing and puffing as he bore the heavy load.

"Wulin, please, give me my luggage."

"It's too much work for you to carry it all alone."

Li Luo spoke up.

Tang Wulin grinned and shook his head vigorously, "Brother Luo, I'm fine. I don't know why, but I feel like I have so much strength."

"Helping you carry a few things for Brother Luo..."

"It's not tiring at all."

Li Luo looked at Tang Wulin, who was almost completely buried under the mountain of bags, and felt truly helpless.

He had his own hands and feet.

Yet, his classmate Wulin insisted on snatching his luggage away.

Sigh!

A satisfied smile beamed across Tang Wulin's face, "Brother Luo, Na'er isn't here, so you don't need to worry."

Li Luo nearly tripped and fell to the ground.

That was right!

Na'er had already left with the Great Beasts.

She should be coming, right?

Three years ago, after he had slain the nine-ringed Evil Soul Master, the Great Beasts led by Di Tian had moved into his home.

He had thought that Na'er being taken away, as it happened in the original story, would not occur.

Unexpectedly, that group of Great Beasts had snuck away in the middle of the night.

They had abducted Na'er.

Lord Bear had been very dissatisfied with this and had angrily questioned Di Tian, "Boss, we were living just fine at the Matriarch's house, why did we have to run away in the middle of the night? I don't want to."

"I don't want to, I don't want to."

The cute version of Lord Bear was online.

Di Tian felt a massive headache coming on.

He wasn't afraid of Lord Bear when his combat power was off the charts and he was ready to go berserk at any moment.

But if it was the cute Lord Bear...

Di Tian shuddered.

He explained helplessly, "Lord Bear, this was the Lord's instruction."

Lord Bear continued to pout, clearly still very dissatisfied.

Di Tian ignored him.

They had run back to the Star Dou Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.

Gu Yue had utilized the contingency plan left behind in the Lake of Life and successfully seized control of the body.

At that moment, she had almost let out a cackling laugh, "This King has finally returned."

The next instant, her palm slapped her own face with a loud crack.

Gu Yue froze.

Ah, why was it that even though she had seized control of the body, Na'er could still control a portion of it?

Gu Yue felt like someone fighting against themselves.

It was utter misery!

Because of the Dragon God's Kiss, Na'er was far more powerful than she had been in the original Douluo III. Gu Yue had no choice; it took her two years and nine months to finally gain complete control of the body.

However, even then, it was only achieved after she and Na'er had agreed to three conditions.

The first condition they agreed upon...

Was to find Li Luo.

Thus, Gu Yue also planned to come to the East Sea. She had already investigated and confirmed that Li Luo had headed to the East Sea to prepare for his studies at East Sea Academy.

This time, Gu Yue did not bring all the Great Beasts along.

She only brought Lord Bear.

Originally, she hadn't wanted to bring Lord Bear either.

However, seeing how incredibly loyal Lord Bear was, she decided to bring him along.

In truth, these were merely the reasons on the surface.

The reality was that Di Tian had strongly insisted that Lord Bear be taken away so he wouldn't remain in the Star Dou Forest to wreak havoc on them.

Because whenever Lord Bear had a spare moment, he would pester Di Tian with endless questions about their Matriarch, the Rainbow Dragon King.

Questions such as:

"Di Tian, what does the Matriarch like to eat? Does she like meat?"

"Di Tian, why is the Matriarch's personality so good?"

"Di Tian, what does the Matriarch like?"

At the time, Di Tian had been so annoyed he nearly revealed his true form as the Black-Eyed Golden Dragon King. Frustrated, depressed, and feeling as though life had lost its meaning, he told Lord Bear, "The Matriarch is the Rainbow Dragon King. The Rainbow Dragon King—she must obviously like rainbows."

Lord Bear's eyes lit up.

Di Tian and the others were doomed.

From that day on, the Star Dou Forest gained a Lord Bear who was dedicated to researching how to create rainbows.

Whenever the clouds gathered, Lord Bear would fly up and use his hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation to defy the great Newton.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

His terrifying Sky-Splitting Terror Claw carried the pressure to tear through the void.

He shredded cloud after cloud.

Di Tian and the others watched from below.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons was dumbfounded, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Big Silly Chun, what are you doing?"

"You are a dignified Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, possessing Dark Gold Terror Claws capable of tearing the sky, yet you are actually using them to make a rainbow!"

However, before the King of Ten Thousand Demons could finish his scolding, Lord Bear's voice drifted down from the sky, "Hey, all of you come help! I'm just one beast, I can't tear them fast enough, and there isn't enough water vapor to form a rainbow."

Di Tian collapsed to the ground.

Bi Ji collapsed to the ground.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons extended his tree roots and buried his entire body deep into the earth...

Because of things like this, to prevent Lord Bear from continuing to wreak havoc on them, the Great Beasts voted unanimously to have Lord Bear escort their Lord to the East Sea Academy.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Yue regretted it.

She, too, found herself unable to endure Lord Bear's incessant chatter, so she turned back, returned to the Star Dou Forest, dumped Lord Bear, and brought the King of Ten Thousand Demons to the East Sea instead...

Li Luo was unaware of the affairs between the Great Beasts.

He walked out of the station with Tang Wulin.

As soon as they exited, they saw many beautiful women holding up numerous signs.

[Welcome! Welcome!]

[Warmly welcome Li the Immortal to East Sea Academy]

[To live a life without knowing Li the Immortal is to live in vain, even as a youth]

[With the body of a Spirit Master, you defied and slew a nine-ringed evil Titled Douluo; Li Luo, you are the best]

The words on the signs grew increasingly elaborate.

Li Luo felt a bit embarrassed.

The story of a Spirit Master defying and slaying a nine-ringed evil Titled Douluo had spread from the Federation after he collected his reward.

Just as he had anticipated back then, the Federation offered generous bounties for slaying evil Spirit Masters.

He remembered that in the original Douluo III, the Federation had clear regulations that killing evil Spirit Masters was rewarded, and reporting them was also rewarded.

He just hadn't been sure about the scale of the rewards.

When he submitted the footage, it took over a week of auditing before the bounty was released: eight and a half million Federation Coins.

As for the submission channel, Li Luo had gone through Red Mountain Academy.

Once the prize money arrived, Li Luo transferred it directly to Red Mountain Academy. When Principal Gao heard the ding of the deposit notification, he nearly knelt before Li Luo.

Principal Gao had previously been forced to carry an oxygen tank to the academy frequently.

He ripped off his mask and declared, "This piece of junk—whoever wants to wear it, can wear it!"

"I'm not bringing it anymore."

"I'm not working tonight; I'm going to find Teacher Bai. It's been a long time since I studied a foreign language."

"I love to study."

Principal Gao was truly such a pure man, one who had transcended low-level interests.

After finishing his business, Principal Gao even had the leisure to question the Federation, feeling that a reward of only 8.5 million Federation Coins for exterminating a nine-ring Titled Evil Soul Master was simply too little.

The Federation was up to something fishy.

There was a dark conspiracy.

Li Luo, however, didn't care about that anymore; he only held a slight grudge that the Federation had leaked his information, leading to his appearance on the Young Genius Ranking.

What kind of decent person would want to be on a ranking list!

At any rate, he didn't want to be.

But there were indeed people who wanted to be on it.

Xie Xie looked at the welcome signs for Li Luo with a face full of indignation, "A level-fourteen support soul master counter-killing a nine-ring evil Titled Soul Master—you lot actually dared to print that on there..."
