Tricking Gu Yuena into Becoming His Bodyguard, When He Really Just Wanted Her (Please Read and Support)

Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian flashed forward, blocking Yang Teng like a towering mountain. Pressure gathered in his golden pupils as he fixed Yang Teng with a fierce stare.

Yang Teng didn't even lift an eyelid. He had a life-saving trump card, after all.

But if it really came to a fight, his current strength was only equivalent to a Soul Ancestor on Douluo Star.

The plane's rejection kept him from fully unleashing his power. As his strength increased in the future, this world would surely crumble under the strain.

So his father had personally placed another seal on him.

The only way to completely break free of all these restraints was to become a god here.

Even so, Gu Yuena, who was within the spatial realm, felt her pupils contract ever so slightly.

She was a god, after all, and her senses were terrifyingly sharp. The level of the bloodline within Yang Teng far surpassed her own—and even that of the Dragon God from back then.

Inside the spatial realm, Gu Yuena's slender fingers traced a light line through the air.

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

It was an isolated space, cut off from the outside world. The external aura vanished completely, replaced by a silvery-white domain formed from Gu Yuena's divine power. Its walls were like mirrors, reflecting faint light.

"He's indeed nowhere near as strong as Father!"

Yang Teng glanced around, thinking to himself.

Gu Yuena shed her giant dragon form and transformed into a human.

Her silver hair fell from her shoulders to her waist, every strand gleaming with a faint, cold light. Her violet eyes held an alluring charm, and her fair neck was like ivory.

Di Tian silently retreated to one side. The wariness in his eyes didn't lessen in the slightest, but he didn't dare overstep.

Yang Teng was direct. He skipped the pleasantries and preamble, getting straight to the point.

"Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, how about becoming my bodyguard?"

Di Tian's dragon pupils shrank sharply, and anger surged within him. What sort of status did his lord have? Becoming someone's bodyguard was out of the question for all eternity.

But Gu Yuena gently raised a hand and moved her fingertips. Di Tian swallowed the words in his throat.

"Bodyguard?"

Her voice was clear and cool, revealing no emotion.

"Exactly."

Yang Teng met her violet gaze, his expression calm.

"And the reward I'm offering is something you can't refuse."

Yang Teng looked confident, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty.

"I'll break the ironclad rule that Soul Beasts can't become gods."

Gu Yuena's lashes trembled faintly.

"Your people—the Soul Beasts trapped on Douluo Star, unable to break through their shackles for generations—will have the chance to ascend and become gods."

Gu Yuena said nothing. Her violet eyes were fixed on the young man before her. He looked far too young, yet spoke with the certainty of someone who had already made it happen.

Gu Yuena rapidly weighed the possibilities.

Not long ago, she had faintly sensed a disturbance in the direction of the Divine Realm. An aura identical to that of the young man before her had appeared there, though it had been even stronger.

Gu Yuena had thought it was some powerful wanderer of the cosmos. But now, this young man had appeared on Douluo Star at just the right time.

The timing matched, and so did the aura. Even a trace of the bloodline sealed within him was enough to astonish her.

"To prove I have the power to do it, you can examine the seal inside me."

Gu Yuena didn't hesitate to accept his offer. Then her pupils quivered, and she thought, This seal is intricate and powerful. The one who placed it must be an unimaginable being.

Yang Teng smiled faintly and forcibly tore open the void.

He slowly drew a long spear from the rift, bit by bit, as if struggling to pull it free.

The shaft was pitch-black, glimmering faintly like a meteor. It resembled the night sky, filled with countless stars.

A faint sheen flowed along the spearhead. It was unlike any energy on Douluo Continent—warm as jade, with an immortal quality that seemed to transcend the mortal world.

Gu Yuena's breath caught for the briefest instant.

"That's the mark of something nourished by immortal spiritual energy—and it feels extraordinary."

This was a divine weapon truly nourished by immortal spiritual energy.

"What exactly happened in the Divine Realm?"

She finally spoke. Her voice was still cool, but her tone had changed.

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

"My father is the Space-Time Dragon God King, lord of God Star. He comes from the Guandu Star Domain."

He raised his eyes and met Gu Yuena's violet gaze.

"He came to the Douluo God Realm solely for my trial."

Gu Yuena's fingertips tightened slightly.

The lord of God Star—that was God Star itself.

She had once been the Dragon God of the Divine Realm, before splitting apart, and knew how impossibly distant God Star was. Yet the young man before her was the child of its lord.

Silence settled over the space for a long while.

Silver-white light slowly swirled around Gu Yuena. Her face flickered in the shifting glow as she weighed the choice in her heart.

Do I take the gamble or not?

Soul Beasts could not become gods. This was an ironclad law set by the Douluo God Realm, a curse etched deep into the blood of every Soul Beast.

Gu Yuena thought, His bloodline, the divine weapon in his hand, and his connection to the disturbance in the Divine Realm—all the clues point to the same conclusion. He's telling the truth.

"Fine."

Gu Yuena lifted her gaze. The chill in her violet eyes remained, but now they shone with a resolute light.

"I'll be your bodyguard."

Behind her, Di Tian looked as if he wanted to speak, but in the end, he simply lowered his dragon head and obeyed in silence.

Yang Teng looked at her cool, breathtakingly beautiful face, and the corners of his lips finally lifted slightly. The smile was hidden so well it vanished in an instant.

No one knew that breaking the ironclad rule that Soul Beasts could not become gods had been part of his plan all along. And no one knew that, from the very beginning, he had wanted more than Gu Yuena's protection.

With time, love will blossom. What I really want is you!

"Silver Dragon King!"

Just like that, he had won the highest peak of the Soul Beast Realm and brought her to his side. Who would dare lay a finger on him now?

The spatial rift tore open again. The silver light faded, and the three of them reappeared beneath Douluo Star's open sky.

Gu Yuena walked in front, her silver hair lifting faintly in the breeze. She didn't look back.

Yang Teng followed behind her, his gaze sweeping over her slender figure. At last, he let the smile on his lips show.

"Let's go."

Gu Yuena's cool voice drifted back from ahead.

"Shouldn't you be following me?"

Yang Teng said with a stern face.

"My injuries haven't healed, and the people in the Divine Realm may already have discovered me."

As she spoke, Gu Yuena took out a silver scale.

"If you run into danger, just squeeze it and I'll appear!"

"With my dad keeping them in check, they won't dare do anything!"

Yang Teng wasn't willing to settle for that. He'd taken Gu Yuena in with the plan of letting love blossom over time. What would be the point if things went this way?

Gu Yuena studied Yang Teng, thinking, Is the son of the lord of God Star really that afraid of dying?

"Fine! But if you fail to keep your promise, I'll fight to the death and drag you down with me to answer for the entire Soul Beast Clan."

Yang Teng beamed. "For now, just disguise yourself as a Soul King. It'll save us a lot of trouble later."

Di Tian's worldview was being remade on the spot. What sort of outrageous things had he heard today?

"God Star!"

"The lord of God Star!"

"My lord became someone's bodyguard!"
