Huo Yuhao coughed twice, trying to steer the conversation back to the main topic, because he was about to reach his limit. " Na'er, no, Silver Dragon King, let's get down to business first."
Gu Yuena walked up to Huo Yuhao, hugged him, and said, "Isn't what I said serious business?" She nestled in Huo Yuhao's arms, pressing her cheek against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat and his breathing; the steady and warm feeling instantly filled Gu Yuena with happiness.
"I wish we could stay like this forever, never to be apart again," her voice was soft and gentle, yet filled with an undeniable longing.
She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with affection. "Also, I don't want you to always call me ' Silver Dragon King, Silver Dragon King '... I'd rather you call me Na'er."
Huo Yuhao was completely bewildered, and in his dazed state, he uttered, "Na, Na'er?" What on earth is going on? Weren't we supposed to be discussing rescuing the Golden Dragon King? Why does this feel like things are moving a little too fast?
Besides, I don't even have the mind for it right now.
"Um, Na'er, what's going on? Shouldn't we be discussing the Dragon God?" He seemed somewhat at a loss.
Gu Yuena chuckled softly, her fingertips lightly brushing against his lapel. She said to Huo Yuhao, "Isn't our goal now to establish the existence of the Dragon God?"
Huo Yuhao tried to calm himself down and said, "Alright, alright, let's be serious now."
Gu Yuena said coquettishly, "No, you've fallen for so many of your sisters, have you ever fallen for me? Yuhao, I've always loved you too."
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that Gu Yuena now had a bit of Bibi Dong's yandere vibe.
It made him feel panicked, and Gu Yuena was now much stronger Bibi Dong, with strength approaching that of First-Level God. Although he could completely break free, this was clearly not the right time for him.
"What on earth happened? Why did it happen so suddenly?" Huo Yuhao wondered to himself, struggling with his thoughts.
Gu Yuena gazed at Huo Yuhao, her voice soft yet firm. " Yuhao, I know what you're worried about. You're worried that since I've seen the future, I might be interested in Tang San's son Tang Wulin. That's why you're being so wary."
She sighed softly, a complex look appearing in her eyes. "But, Yuhao, because I've never said I like you, that's why you've misunderstood."
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena with a completely bewildered expression, his face showing utter confusion.
" Na'er, can you tell me why? Why do you like me? Because of Tang Wulin, you should hate humans!"
Gu Yuena's tone was gentle and sincere, "You're different, Yuhao. You're my friend, I see your sincerity, I see everything you've done for the Soul Beast."
She took a step forward, her gaze intense. "I've seen your gentleness and thoughtfulness, your willingness to sacrifice everything for love. Qiu'er also told me your story. I really regret not coming to your side sooner, not discovering you sooner. That way, you wouldn't have belonged to Tang Wutong in the previous life."
"Now you're my man. Together we'll help the Soul Beast rise and the Dragon Clan revive. You'll definitely go far, and won't just inherit a mere God of Emotion."
"We won't be manipulated by Sea God Tang San. Why didn't fate bring us together? We are destined to travel together."
"We should be each other's lovers."
Huo Yuhao's voice was low and suppressed, as if every word was soaked with the bitterness of time. "The things of my previous life also made me sad. Why was I manipulated by the Sea God Tang San and became a puppet? Why did I give up my hatred and become a loyal son-in-law of the Tang Family? This is not what I wanted."
His tone grew increasingly agitated, filled with an unbearable pain. "Why didn't I take revenge? Why didn't I kill Dai Hao? Why did I let him ascend to the Divine Realm?"
"Why did I have to meet Tang Wutong? If I hadn't met her, my life would have been completely different."
He closed his eyes, his voice filled with a deep sense of helplessness. "Why, why? But life never has a why. Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Perhaps it's the fault of the creator god, or perhaps it's the manipulation of the God of Fate. And this god who can manipulate fate, the god who controls the fate of a nobody like me, is none other than the Sea God Tang San."
I am truly desperate.
Gu Yuena cupped Huo Yuhao's face in her hands. "Now, you don't need to despair anymore, my Yuhao. If I could go back to your past life, and my past life, and our past life, I would definitely stop fate from happening and prevent you from being manipulated."
Her fingertips traced his cheek, her voice as clear as a vow. "I will let you meet me, meet Qiu'er, meet the other sisters around us, so that you won't have to be so tired."
"No need to die again"
Huo Yuhao responded softly, "Yes, Na'er, actually, sometimes, I love you, but I don't dare to say it."
"Because sometimes, I'm afraid you don't love me. Your choice determines my love. If you chose me, my love has color; if you didn't choose me, then I have no love."
Gu Yuena embraced him, her voice firm yet gentle. "You don't need to worry about that, my silly Yuhao. I will always love you, even through a thousand lifetimes. If I stop loving you in any of those lifetimes, then I will eliminate that version of myself that doesn't love you."
She gently kissed his forehead, her voice as resolute as a vow. "We'll always be together."
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Huo Yuhao Yuhao's eyes welled up, and he finally couldn't hold back a tear. He whispered:
Thank you for your love, Na'er, I love you too.
Tears welled up in Gu Yuena's purple eyes as well. She smiled, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "Now, I am your lover too, my lover. Today, my wish has finally come true."
Huo Yuhao and the other person were immersed in this situation. Sometimes, fate is a painful thing, and sometimes, fate is something that must be faced. How to explain it? No one knows.
Now Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao are together, which is due to Gu Yuena's lingering affection.
There's also Huo Yuhao's persistence. After reincarnation, the two were able to meet again. That's what it means. If God could give him another chance, you could say that.
This was an opportunity given by heaven, and Huo Yuhao seized it.
