Gu Yuena, Dragon God Core

What sounded alarmist carried exceptional credibility coming from Di Tian.

Before the interstellar age, the Soul Beast Clan had been synonymous with a Federation crisis.

Soon.

The branch director sent someone to contact the War God Temple.

The area remained noisy.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's blood-soaked body crashed to the ground, his former divine majesty mostly obscured. Almost no one recognized him.

Only after Di Tian revealed his identity did the researchers confirm it.

"Beast God Di Tian!"

"The Soul Beast King with 990,000 years of cultivation!"

"Who could have injured him this badly?!"

"Even ordinary God Levels probably couldn't do it. It'd take at least an eleventh-rank True God!"

"..."

The entire place erupted in an uproar.

A silver-haired woman walked out of the academy.

Her silver hair cascaded naturally to her ankles like a silver waterfall, carrying a dreamlike crystalline texture.

Her illusory violet eyes gave her the beauty of someone who had stepped out of a painting.

Her exquisite features seemed like nature's most perfect creation.

The Soul Beast Co-Master—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

The moment she appeared, she drew countless gazes.

Yet she paid no attention to those looks and walked straight toward the injured Di Tian, who was healing himself.

Her illusory violet eyes met his golden dragon pupils.

For a moment.

Both of them were somewhat stunned.

Di Tian wasn't stunned because he had been bewitched by her beauty. He had no idea how many years he had spent looking at that face.

No matter how beautiful something was, one would grow tired of it after seeing it too often.

The reason for his dazed expression was simply that he had thought of something.

In the original timeline.

Tianlong had intended to forcibly marry Gu Yuena.

He had even been willing to forgive Lan Xuanyu for ruining his scheme just to marry Gu Yuena.

Now.

The place where Tianlong had beaten him into a heavily injured fall was precisely the Federation Academy of Science Tiandou Branch where Gu Yuena had thawed out.

Before this, Di Tian had been ninety-eight percent certain that Tianlong Seat was the one who attacked him.

But after this.

After he had so coincidentally fallen beside Gu Yuena.

Di Tian was one hundred percent—ten thousand percent—certain that Tianlong Seat was his attacker.

And.

Tianlong had definitely been drawn here by Gu Yuena!

The only thing that could make a peak Super God level expert temporarily abandon the great undertaking of bringing down the entire Douluo Federation was love at first sight that lasted ten thousand years!

As for whether Tianlong's love was sincere, or merely the base love of lusting after Gu Yuena's body?

Di Tian had no interest in knowing.

All he knew now.

Was that Gu Yuena and Tianlong had dragged him into their mess.

Fuck!

This was just too damn unfair!

Gu Yuena also stared blankly at Di Tian.

She had been awake at the Tiandou Branch for some time, yet this was the first time she had stared at someone so blankly.

Her curled lashes trembled.

She had the persistent feeling that she knew the Di Tian before her.

As though he occupied a very, very... long stretch of her lost memories.

"Have we met before? Do you know me?" Gu Yuena couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Di Tian snapped back to himself and lied without hesitation.

"No."

"We have nothing to do with each other."

Yet as she looked into Di Tian's eyes, Gu Yuena's tone turned resolute.

"No!"

"You definitely know me!"

"And!"

"Before I lost my memories, you must have known me for a very long time!"

Seeing Di Tian's expression shift slightly, Gu Yuena knew she had guessed correctly.

She immediately pressed him.

"Who am I?"

There were few people in this world capable of stirring Di Tian's emotions, and Gu Yuena was absolutely among the foremost of them.

This time, Di Tian told the truth in all seriousness.

"You're an idiot."

Gu Yuena frowned. She could tell he was insulting her.

But she didn't know what had happened before her amnesia and had no idea how to refute him.

So she could only ask back, "What about you?"

"I'm a fool."

Gu Yuena's tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

He wasn't just insulting her—he was insulting himself too.

It seemed that... before losing her memories, she and the severely injured dragon before her were probably the same kind of pitiful people.

"Why?" Gu Yuena naturally continued the topic. "Why insult me? And yourself?"

"Heh~"

"Because I believed an idiot."

"So I became a fool."

Gu Yuena: "..."

This "person" had a huge grievance against her.

Yet she still felt that her relationship with him was very close.

She continued.

"I can sense the tangled emotions you felt upon seeing me, and I can also sense the submission of your bloodline."

"And."

At this point, Gu Yuena paused, but she still continued, "You've been staring at my chest. With every extra second you look, your dragon breath grows more hurried."

The instant those words fell, the entire crowd was shocked.

The dignified Soul Beast King, Di Tian, had actually been staring at the chest of a beautiful human woman!

Was it the collapse of morality?!

Or the loss of ethics?!

Some people's eyes burned with the flames of gossip as they rapidly spun a love story between a human beauty and the Soul Beast King in their minds. Beauty and the Beast was always the most thrilling.

Others had the rigor of scientists in their eyes. They had initially suspected that the silver-haired beauty, "Nana," might be the ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King. But upon hearing Di Tian insult her so rudely, they were the first to rule out the possibility that "Nana" was the Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King.

Everyone knew.

The Soul Beast King, Beast God Di Tian, called the Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King, "My Lord," and treated her with absolute respect. How could he possibly be so disrespectful?

Outrageous sparks of speculation burst forth in every researcher's mind.

Leaving Di Tian exceptionally speechless.

He inwardly grumbled.

What the hell are they even talking about?

I was staring at Gu Yuena's chest?

That claim is nothing but pig shit, dog stench, and toad farts!

I was looking at her heart!

Gu Yuena had more than one heart in her body.

As early as ten thousand years ago, she had fused the Dragon God's heart—the super divine artifact, the "Dragon God Core"—with her own heart.

A super divine artifact.

And one that came with the Nine-Colored Dragon God Bloodline.

It held an extremely strong attraction for Di Tian.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for him to look over there unconsciously?

Besides, rationally speaking.

He truly believed he should take back the super divine artifact, the "Dragon God Core."

Otherwise.

Given Gu Yuena's disposition of favoring humanity by a hundred and eight thousand miles, along with her ridiculous stunt of leaving the top-tier divine artifact Silver Dragon Spear to Shrek.

If he ever did anything for the Soul Beast Clan in the future.

Gu Yuena might use the super divine artifact Dragon God Heart to deal with him for humanity's sake.

Of course.

Di Tian restrained himself and didn't make a move.

That was also because of reason.

He couldn't beat Gu Yuena.

Ten thousand years ago, she had already recultivated to the combat strength of a True God-level Rank-Two God. Ten thousand years had passed, and her combat strength had neither increased nor weakened.

Forcefully robbing a True God-level expert with the foundation of a Half-Step God King, and stealing the super divine artifact already fused with her heart.

Di Tian wasn't that arrogant.

As for Gu Yuena sensing his tangled emotions?

How could Di Tian's emotions not be tangled?!

He really wanted to screw Gu Yuena right now—the kind where he'd screw her to death!

He dreamed of it!

Leaving the Dragon God Core in Gu Yuena's hands was simply aiding the enemy!

But reason told him!

He couldn't do it! He absolutely couldn't do it! He must never do it!

Tell me, how could his feelings not be tangled?!
