Li Luo's left and right brains were fiercely at war...
Reason told him he couldn't do that. If he did, he'd be an animal.
Instinct told him, "This chance won't come again, you idiot. Hurry up and do it!"
If he didn't make a move, he'd be looked down on for the rest of his life.
Just as Li Luo stood there dumbfounded, Gu Yue grabbed his hand and moved it to the other side...
"Boom!"
Li Luo felt like his head was about to explode.
A tingling, shivering sensation spread throughout his body.
He felt as if he'd fallen into the clouds, wrapped in bliss.
His whole body felt light as a feather.
"Wifey, do you like it?" This time, Gu Yue's voice was coquettish—extremely so.
Gu Yue's condition had gotten even worse...
Li Luo suddenly snapped awake. "This can't go on."
Great Might Heavenly Dragon.
Boundless Sea of Dharma.
Grant me strength.
I pluck!
Li Luo moved with lightning speed, trying to pluck the Seven-Colored Mushroom that had caused Gu Yue's affliction.
The mushrooms that had grown on Tang Wulin and the others were all monochrome, but the one on Gu Yue was a Seven-Colored Mushroom.
Li Luo could tell from this that Gu Yue had been affected far more severely than Tang Wulin and the others.
"If I just pluck it, everything will be fine."
But despite the speed he'd honed through years of being single, Li Luo didn't grab the Seven-Colored Mushroom. Instead, he grabbed the Peak of the Mountain.
Li Luo froze completely.
"This... I..."
That wasn't what Li Luo had meant to grab at all. "Gu Yue, I'm... I'm sorry, I..."
Li Luo stumbled over his words.
Gu Yue was stunned too.
Her eyes were unfocused.
A mist rose in them.
After a moment, Gu Yue gasped softly, "Wifey, you're so naughty."
Her eyes were so tender they seemed about to melt into water.
Li Luo wanted to slap himself hard across the face.
He'd actually forgotten what the Grandmaster of Soul Guidance Floss Psychology had said.
When dealing with a mentally ill person, it was best to go along with what they said.
Not oppose them.
"Oh, yes. I like it very much."
Li Luo stopped resisting and said, "Could you let me take a proper look?"
"Wow." Gu Yue was overjoyed to hear that.
"You're my wife."
"What's mine is yours."
As she spoke, she even guided Li Luo's hand, helping him get familiar with it.
Gu Yue let down her guard.
She opened her heart to him.
"Beautiful." Li Luo praised her sincerely, his hand seeming to brush past as if by chance.
Gu Yue's eyes went blank.
They rolled back—
But the next moment...
"Smack!"
Li Luo plucked the Seven-Colored Mushroom cleanly out.
Gu Yue's whole body went limp, and she collapsed into Li Luo's arms. Her breathing was faint. "Li Luo, thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me," Li Luo said.
Gu Yue's voice was wistful. "But I'd rather you hadn't saved me."
Li Luo froze again.
It seemed that Gu Yue was even more terrifying when she was lucid than when she was dazed.
Time to make a run for it.
Li Luo fled in a panic.
In the empty dormitory, only Gu Yue remained. She licked her lips. "What a pity. I was only one step away."
But she didn't dare take that final step.
Her behavior just now had been beyond her control, so it could be forgiven.
But now that she was lucid, if she acted like that again, she felt that cold, sinister aura would draw near once more.
"So annoying!"
Gu Yue waved her arms wildly. "The Dragon God is dead. The Silver Dragon shall rise."
"Wifey is mine!"
"No one's taking her from me!"
In Dormitory 205, inside Tang Wulin's Soul Sea of Consciousness,
Tang Wulin looked at Sea God Tang San and asked seriously, "You mean the Golden Dragon inside me is one half of the Dragon God, split apart and called the Golden Dragon King."
"And the Eighteen Seals inside me are sealing the Golden Dragon King."
"That's right."
Sea God Tang San had regained his dazzling golden glow and no longer looked so wretched. He explained slowly,
"The Eighteen Seals were laid down by a great being, using his own flesh and blood as the catalyst. You could say you're alive entirely thanks to him."
Sea God Tang San didn't mind taking credit for himself at all.
Tang Wulin said gratefully, "If I ever get the chance to meet that senior, I'll thank him properly."
"And thank you too, Grandpa."
"If not for you, my seals would've shattered. Thank you."
Sea God Tang San waved a hand. "All right, save your thanks for later."
"I have to tell you that you can only survive by undoing these seals one by one and absorbing the power released from each one."
"Also, the Golden Dragon King's power will be drawn to the aura of dragon bloodlines."
"That's extremely dangerous for you."
"Especially with the aid of a Dragon-type Martial Soul. That's poison to you."
Sea God Tang San's voice turned grim. "So do you understand now? You mustn't have any more contact with Li Luo!"
"Otherwise, you'll die!"
In truth, Tang Wulin wouldn't die just from being around Li Luo.
The real danger was repeatedly receiving Li Luo's assistance.
The Rainbow Dragon King's assistance was the deadly poison.
But Sea God Tang San outright forbade Tang Wulin from seeing Li Luo.
It wasn't for any other reason. Tang San was afraid of the mysterious being lurking in the shadows.
Tang Wulin's face turned pale. Not being able to see Li Luo would be worse than killing him.
"Grandpa, isn't there any other way? I don't want Brother Luo and me to become familiar strangers."
Sea God Tang San's expression turned cold. "Either you die, or you do as I say."
Tang San was furious. He could accept his own son calling him Grandpa, since he hadn't revealed his identity to Tang Wulin and felt the time wasn't right yet.
But Tang Wulin was still unable to tell what mattered most, even with his life at stake. That made Tang San livid. "Which matters more, your life or Li Luo?!"
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, but Brother Luo matters more." Tang Wulin's little face was stubborn.
Tang San's face turned ashen. "You!"
He cursed furiously. "You're beyond teaching! You deserve to die! You're stubborn to the bitter end..."
Tang Wulin hunched his shoulders. Let him curse all he wanted; he was as unbothered as a mountain in a breeze.
After cursing himself hoarse, Tang San stared at Tang Wulin, his thoughts churning. "I can cut my daughter in half. Why can't I cut off a small piece of my son?"
"My knife skills are excellent. I could say they're my strongest skill."
"Back then, I cut Wutong in half with a single stroke, and she turned out perfectly fine in the end."
"Wulin will be fine after one cut from me, too."
The more Tang San thought about it, the more sense it made. "As long as Wulin doesn't have that thing, he shouldn't be interested in Li Luo. Then the seals won't break prematurely."
"Wulin will be safe."
"Perhaps this method won't just work on Wulin. It could work on other people too."
"With all six roots purified, there'd be fewer worries. They'd focus on cultivation and improving their strength."
"I feel like I've created a cultivation method even more impressive than my teacher Xiao Gang's."
"I'll name it the Sterilization Cultivation Method."
"Once their strength has improved, we can put that thing back on. Perfect."
"I'd say this method is even better than my teacher's Running Method."
"My teacher's Running Method could be passed down for thirty thousand years, so the Sterilization Cultivation Method I invented is definitely no worse."
The great Sea God Tang San looked toward Tang Wulin's crotch. "Wulin, since you're unwilling, I have another idea. Would you like to give it a try?"
Tang Wulin was delighted. "Grandpa, what idea?"
