Tricking Gu Yena into Being a Bodyguard, But Actually Coveting Her Body (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Support)

Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, flashed forward like a mountain, blocking Yang Teng's path. Pressure condensed within his golden pupils as he stared fixedly at the boy.

Yang Teng did not even lift an eyelid; he possessed a trump card for self-preservation.

However, if he were truly forced to fight, his current strength was merely equivalent to the Spirit Ancestor realm of Douluo Star.

Due to plane repulsion, he could not unleash his full power, and as his strength increased in the future, the structural integrity of this world would inevitably collapse.

Therefore, his father had personally placed a seal upon him.

All these shackles could only be completely undone by breaking through to become a god here.

Even so, Gu Yena, who stood within the space, felt her pupils contract slightly for a fleeting moment.

As a deity herself, her perception was terrifyingly sharp; the bloodline level within Yang Teng far surpassed her own, and even more so that of the original Dragon God.

Inside the space, Gu Yena traced a line through the void with her slender fingers.

A spatial rift tore open silently, swallowing the three of them whole.

This was an isolated, independent space where the aura of the outside world vanished completely, replaced by a silvery-white domain constructed from Gu Yena's own divine power. The walls were like mirrors, reflecting a faint, shimmering light.

He is indeed quite a bit inferior to Father! Yang Teng thought to himself as he surveyed his surroundings.

Gu Yena shed her dragon form and transformed into a human.

Long silver hair cascaded from her shoulders to her waist, each strand emitting a faint, cold glow. Her pair of purple eyes were incredibly enchanting, and her fair neck was as smooth as ivory.

Di Tian retreated to the side in silence, the vigilance in his pupils undiminished, yet he dared not overstep his bounds.

Yang Teng was straightforward; without pleasantries or preamble, he cut straight to the point.

"Silver Dragon King Gu Yena, how about you become my bodyguard?"

Di Tian's dragon pupils shrank violently as rage surged within him. What kind of status did his Lord possess? Becoming someone's bodyguard was an impossibility in this lifetime.

But Gu Yena raised her hand slightly, her fingertips twitching, and Di Tian swallowed the words stuck in his throat.

"A bodyguard?"

Her voice was clear and cold, devoid of emotion.

"Correct."

Yang Teng looked directly into those purple eyes, his expression calm.

"And the reward I offer is one you cannot refuse."

Yang Teng's expression was confident, his tone brooking no doubt.

"I will shatter the iron law that prevents spirit beasts from becoming gods."

Gu Yena's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Your subjects—those spirit beasts trapped on Douluo Star for generations, unable to break their shackles—will gain the qualifications to ascend and become gods."

Gu Yena did not speak, her purple eyes fixed on the youth before her. His face was excessively young, yet his tone was as certain as if he had already achieved it.

Gu Yena calculated rapidly in her heart.

Not long ago, she had vaguely sensed a disturbance in the direction of the God Realm. An aura identical to the youth before her had appeared in the God Realm, though it was far more powerful.

Gu Yena had assumed it was a powerhouse wandering the universe, but this youth had appeared on Douluo Star at exactly this time.

The timing matched, the aura matched, and even the mere sliver of the sealed bloodline leaking from his body left her astonished.

"To prove I have this capability, you may examine the seal within me."

Gu Yena did not stand on ceremony. Her pupils trembled as she thought, This seal is exquisite and powerful; the one who cast it must be an inconceivable existence.

Yang Teng smiled slightly and forcibly tore open the void.

He pulled a long spear out from the rift in the void, bit by bit, appearing to exert great effort.

The spear's shaft was pitch black, tinged with the faint color of a shooting star, resembling the night sky filled with endless stars.

A faint luster flowed over the spear's blade—a glow unlike any energy found on the Douluo Continent. It was as warm as jade, carrying a transcendent, ethereal charm.

Gu Yena's breathing paused imperceptibly for a moment.

That is the trace of being nourished by immortal energy, and I can sense it is truly extraordinary.

This was a divine artifact genuinely nourished by immortal energy.

"What exactly happened in the God Realm?"

She finally spoke, her voice still cold, but her tone had shifted.

Yang Teng held the spear horizontally before him, the blade reflecting his calm face.

"My father, the Space-Time Dragon God King, Lord of the God Star! He hails from the Guandu Star Domain."

He raised his gaze, locking eyes with Gu Yena's purple pupils.

"He descended upon the Douluo God Realm solely for the sake of my training."

Gu Yena's fingertips tightened slightly.

The Master of the God Star—that was a God Star.

Having once been a fragment of the Dragon God from the Douluo God Realm, she knew just how unreachable a God Star truly was, yet the youth before her was the offspring of its Master.

The space remained silent for a long time.

Silvery-white light flowed slowly around Gu Yena, her features flickering in the interplay of light and shadow as she weighed the risks in her heart.

To gamble, or not to gamble.

Soul beasts could not become gods; this was the ironclad rule set by the Douluo God Realm, a curse carved deep into the bloodline of every soul beast.

Gu Yena thought to herself that his bloodline, the divine artifact in his hand, and his connection to the anomalies in the God Realm—every clue pointed to the same conclusion: he was telling the truth.

"Very well."

Gu Yena raised her eyes; the coldness in her violet pupils had not faded, but a certain resolve now shimmered within them.

"I will be this bodyguard."

Di Tian, standing behind her, opened his mouth to speak but stopped, ultimately lowering his dragon head and silently submitting.

Yang Teng looked at the cold, stunningly beautiful face before him, and the corners of his lips finally curled up slightly—a curve so subtle it was hidden deep and vanished in an instant.

No one knew that breaking the iron rule forbidding soul beasts from becoming gods was a step in his plan from the very beginning, nor did anyone know that what he wanted all along was not merely Gu Yena's protection.

Love grows with time; it is you that I truly want!

Lord Silver Dragon King!

Just like that, Yang Teng had successfully secured the highest peak of the soul beast world to stand before him; from now on, who would dare touch him?

The spatial rift tore open once more, the silver light dissipated, and the figures of the three appeared again under the daylight of Douluo Star.

Gu Yena walked in the lead, her silver hair lifting slightly in the wind, never looking back.

Yang Teng followed behind her, his gaze sweeping over her slender back, the smile on his lips finally no longer concealed.

"Let's go."

Gu Yena's cold voice drifted back from the front.

"Shouldn't you be following me?"

Yang Teng said with a straight face.

"My injuries have not yet healed, and I fear those people in the God Realm have already discovered me."

As she spoke, Gu Yena produced a silver scale.

"If you encounter danger, just crush this, and I will appear!"

"With my old man's deterrence, they wouldn't dare do anything!"

Yang Teng was unwilling to accept this; he had intended to win Gu Yena over through the slow passage of time, and if it were like this, what would be the point?

Gu Yena looked at Yang Teng with scrutiny, wondering if the son of the God Star's Master could really be this afraid of death.

"Fine! But if you fail to fulfill your promise, I, this King, will sooner burn both jade and common stone together than let you drag the entire soul beast race down as a cushion."

Yang Teng smiled brilliantly. "You should just disguise yourself as a Spirit King for now! It will save us a lot of trouble later."

At this moment, Di Tian's worldview was being reshaped; what kind of outrageous words had he heard today?

God Star!

Master of the God Star!

The Lord has become someone's bodyguard!
