Gu Yue believed that Li Luo was the reincarnation of the Rainbow Dragon King, the queen of the Dragon Clan.
And in her previous life, her origin had been the Dragon God.
The Rainbow Dragon King was the Dragon Clan's queen, the Dragon God's wife.
That made her Gu Yue's wife.
Now this bunch of stinking men were making a move on her wife. How could Gu Yue not be angry?
She glared at them murderously. "You're all boys. What are you going to do to him?"
"Your hands are all over him."
"He's going to get tired."
Gu Yue snapped, "Let go!"
"Let go of him, all of you!"
Xie Xie was furious. He'd finally gotten the jump on the others, and his hand was already resting on the back of Li Luo's hand.
Now a girl had suddenly appeared and told him to let go.
Xie Xie shot her a challenging look. "Who are you?"
"What's it to you?" Tang Wulin chimed in.
Though Tang Wulin felt a sense of closeness toward Gu Yue, they were both origins of the Dragon God.
Which was better: a girl who was only a girl in name, or a real girl?
Tang Wulin instinctively chose Li Luo, the real girl.
For the moment, he and Xie Xie were on the same side.
The moment Gu Yue appeared, Li Luo felt something and turned to look at her.
For an instant, it was as if he were looking at Na'er.
A Na'er who had grown up just a little.
Looking more carefully, Li Luo noticed some differences. Gu Yue had silver hair, but no silver eyes.
The Na'er he had found had both silver hair and silver eyes.
Li Luo thought to himself, So Gu Yue and Na'er haven't merged yet?
Could Na'er be inside Gu Yue?
She probably is.
Li Luo let go. He could ignore Gu Yue's feelings, but he had to consider Na'er's.
Na'er had hated Tang Wulin before. If she saw this, she would definitely be upset.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were both disappointed.
Hmph. It was all that woman's fault. Otherwise, they could have touched Li Luo's hand a little longer.
Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction. The Dragon Queen had done well, remaining pure and chaste for her.
If Gu Yue had to give the Dragon Queen an award, she'd give her one for being as pure as ice and jade.
"You're very good," Gu Yue said, her tone a little forceful. "I'm going to pursue you."
"Li Luo, get ready to accept my advances!"
"Holy crap!" Tang Wulin was instantly on edge. This girl was so domineering and direct, brazenly declaring that she was going to pursue Brother Luo.
Is Brother Luo really going to be swept away just like that?
Tang Wulin was so nervous his heart was in his throat.
Even Xie Xie, who had only just fallen for Li Luo, opened his eyes wide.
This woman was pretty bold. A real firecracker.
Brother Luo isn't going to fall into her hands, is he?
Please, please!
Don't do it!
"Boys, take good care of yourselves out there!" Gu Yue tossed over her shoulder, then turned away with a flourish.
She was sure it had been a beautiful turn. Hadn't the Dragon Queen frozen on the spot?
Li Luo really had frozen.
Gu Yue's personality was completely different from Na'er's.
If Na'er was a bashful mimosa, Gu Yue was a blazing rose.
As for Gu Yue's promise to pursue him, Li Luo didn't take it too seriously.
But in the days that followed,
Li Luo had just reached the entrance to the teaching building when Gu Yue came rushing over.
She was carrying an exquisite flower basket.
"Have you had breakfast? Here!"
Gu Yue held out the delicate basket. "It's filled with your favorite Star Osmanthus Cake. I even picked the star osmanthus myself, from Star Dou Forest."
"Go on, eat."
"Once you've eaten my Star Osmanthus Cake, you'll be mine."
Li Luo's outstretched hand froze in place. What did she mean, once he ate her Star Osmanthus Cake, he'd be hers?
If Na'er saw this later, wouldn't she be heartbroken?
Li Luo forcibly pulled his hand back. "Uh... I don't like sweet things."
Li Luo walked away and entered the teaching building.
Gu Yue stood there, stunned.
The Dragon Queen had actually rejected her!
She felt a little down.
But it wasn't a big deal.
Tang Wulin had witnessed the whole scene.
For a moment, Tang Wulin thought he was seeing his former self.
Hadn't he once been just like Gu Yue, bringing breakfast to Brother Luo, only for Brother Luo to refuse it?
"What's that look for?" Gu Yue asked unhappily.
Tang Wulin's eyes gleamed with smug delight. "You think you can win Brother Luo's heart with that romance-novel trick?"
"Gu Yue, you're dreaming!"
With that, Tang Wulin strode away.
Gu Yue had just been looked down on by Tang Wulin, and immediately pulled out her Soul Guidance Communicator to send King of Ten Thousand Demons a message.
She told King of Ten Thousand Demons to collect every romance novel on the market.
King of Ten Thousand Demons faithfully carried out its master's orders.
It ran all over East Sea, visiting bookstores large and small.
It collected two sacks of romance novels and delivered them to Gu Yue.
In the girls' dormitory,
Gu Yue read late into the night. The Silver Dragon's wisdom shone in the darkness, and panda circles appeared around her eyes.
At last, she closed the final book and declared,
"I get it!"
"I understand!"
"I've learned!"
The next evening, Li Luo returned from the cafeteria after dinner.
It was already getting dark.
When he reached the dormitory, Li Luo stopped short...
In the open space outside, Gu Yue stood holding a bouquet of flowers, smiling at him.
In front of her lay an enormous heart, formed from countless white candles.
Gu Yue's voice was gentle. "You're back."
Li Luo was stunned. He really hadn't expected Gu Yue to pull something like this. Wasn't she supposed to be the most terrifying Ferocious Beast in Star Dou Forest?
While Li Luo stood frozen, Gu Yue snapped her fingers, and fire elements burst forth.
"Whoosh!"
The giant heart made of white candles lit up.
Gu Yue was brimming with confidence. Romance novels say that girls all love romantic gestures with a sense of ceremony.
I arranged this whole scene myself. The Dragon Queen will probably cry her eyes out when she sees it...
She took Li Luo's hand and rubbed her little hand against his palm.
Gu Yue secretly congratulated herself. You think I can't handle you?
She led Li Luo into the giant heart.
Then she went down on one knee.
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Li Luo, will you be my boyfriend?"
Tang Wulin, who had followed Li Luo back, jolted. His heart screamed hysterically, Gu Yue, how could you do this?
You're cheating!
He hadn't expected Gu Yue to be so bold.
She'd actually dared to confess her feelings for Brother Luo in front of everyone.
No!
Absolutely not!
Xie Xie let out a mournful cry in his heart. Brother Luo, please, please don't say yes to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue is just a woman.
But we could be brothers.
Brother Luo, you can't abandon your brothers for a woman!
The anguished cries in Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's hearts couldn't stop Gu Yue.
Kneeling on one knee, Gu Yue held up the flowers. "Li Luo, are you willing?"
Li Luo took the flowers and reached out his hand to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue took it.
Li Luo helped Gu Yue to her feet.
His voice was sincere. "Gu Yue, I'm very touched. Thank you for your feelings."
"But I can't accept."
"I hope you understand."
Li Luo walked away with the flowers.
Gu Yue stood where she was. A breeze drifted past, its light gently brushing her face as the white candles glowed. Wisdom sparkled in her eyes.
Could the Dragon Queen dislike me because I was born a woman in this life, and am missing something?
