Chapter 62: Grasping, Gu Yue Na Forced to Become a Reborn

At the moment he saw Gu Yue Na, Luo Ye secretly laughed in his heart, yet relying on his movie‑emperor‑level acting, he let his pupils contract sharply, his mouth gape open, his face fill with shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

"Gu"

Gu Yue Na had only called out the beginning of her name when it stopped abruptly.

Luo Ye ran after her while writing in his diary.

【Gu Yue Na?!】

【How could this be? How could I see Gu Yue Na? At this time, shouldn't she be sleeping in the Lake of Life?】

【She should have woken up only after a few more years, but what's going on now? How did she wake up early?】

【What exactly happened? Could this also be a change brought about by my rebirth?】

【But that shouldn't be; I've never even entered the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and in my past life Gu Yue Na herself told me that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's sacrifice didn't awaken her.】

【So, is it possible that Gu Yue Na also reincarnated?】

【Yes, very likely!】

【Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the Titan Giant Ape would abandon Xiao Wu and disappear, then turn to chase me; moreover, in this life I have no relation whatsoever to Gu Yue Na, and even because of the hostile relationship between humans and soul beasts, she is also very antagonistic toward humans—how could she possibly save me, a complete stranger, from the Titan Giant Ape?】

【If Gu Yue Na also reincarnated and wanted to use this opportunity to meet me, so she directed him to do this, then everything would make sense.】

【After all, after Gu Yue Na reincarnates she will surely seek me out, and even if she doesn't know I've also reincarnated, using this method of helping me escape the Titan Giant Ape's pursuit to establish a relationship wouldn't seem too abrupt.】

【She could even take this chance to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and stay with me.】

【If that's really the case, it couldn't be better!】

【For me, rebirth is not only fortunate but also a different kind of pain; although my loved ones are right before my eyes, because they lack their past‑life memories I cannot recognize them, and I can only retrace my steps from scratch.】

【But if Gu Yue Na also reincarnated, then I would have someone to confide my innermost thoughts to.】

【Once I completely shake off the Titan Giant Ape, I will test it to see whether Gu Yue Na is really a reincarnator like me!】

Luo Ye stopped writing in his diary and instead gave Gu Yue Na a deep look, his heart filled with amusement.

The reason he persisted in entering the Star Dou Great Forest even after breaking with Tang San, Dai Mubai and the others was not only to sabotage Oscar's soul‑hunting operation, but primarily to seize the chance to probe Gu Yue Na.

The facts proved that Gu Yue Na indeed did not disappoint him.

So impatient, she jumped out this early and even tried to build a relationship with him using such a crude plan.

Such a good opportunity appearing before him, Luo Ye could certainly not miss it.

Under the condition that he could not expose the diary copy, Luo Ye also blocked all her other excuses and escape routes; even if she was unwilling, she could only be forced to accept the identity of a reborn person, pretend to have so‑called past‑life memories, and have intimate contact with Luo Ye.

"Gu Yue Na, Gu Yue Na, you truly deserve to be the one who in the original work actively performed the bizarre act of splitting in two; possessing astonishing wisdom as the Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Clan having a sovereign like you is truly their blessing."

"However, just perform well according to the script I designed for you; in the future I will fulfill my promise and change the fate of the Soul Beast Clan."

After seeing these latest contents appear in the diary, Gu Yue Na was completely dazed.

"Buhige Men? I (royal) how did I become a reborn?"

Gu Yue Na had already thought out her reasons.

Originally she planned to, under the pretense of having received guidance from the will of the Douluo Continent plane, discover Luo Ye's identity as a child of fortune, learn that the key to changing the Soul Beast Clan's fate lay in Luo Ye, and then devise this to approach him.

But now, after seeing Luo Ye's diary, she suddenly felt that the reasons she had come up with were childish.

In contrast, Luo Ye's speculative logic seemed very coherent.

If she weren't confirming that she herself was not the so‑called reborn, she would have believed the truth to be exactly what Luo Ye said.

"However, if I (royal) deny being a reborn, wouldn't Luo Ye notice something odd? And then guess that someone can see his diary?"

Just thinking about that possibility made Gu Yue Na worry endlessly.

Surely she can't really be forced to admit she has been reborn, right?

After observing Luo Ye's diary over this period, regarding his reborn identity, Gu Yue Na has become firmly convinced.

In view of Luo Ye's goodwill toward the Soul Beast Clan, Gu Yue Na also doesn't mind listening to his inner loneliness and pain, and is even happy to share the burden of facing Tang San and the divine realm together.

But if she had to pose as a reborn, Gu Yue Na still feels tremendous pressure, for she does not possess past‑life memories like Luo Ye does.

Just as Gu Yue Na was torn, the Titan Giant Ape that had been chasing them suddenly stopped its steps.

According to Gu Yue Na's orders, they only needed to wait until she met up with Luo Ye, then chase a little longer and could stop; after that, there was no need for him to participate.

Although the Titan Giant Ape still couldn't understand this, facing the command of Gu Yue Na, the Soul Beast Sovereign Silver Dragon King, he still dared not defy it.

After the two figures had completely disappeared, the Titan Giant Ape scratched its head.

"I don't know what the lord ultimately wants to do, but it's no concern of mine; I'll just go back to find Xiao Wu older sister."

After the Titan Giant Ape stopped chasing, Luo Ye and Gu Yue Na still ran a distance before stopping.

Luo Ye took a deep breath, looked at Gu Yue Na before him, and spoke softly.

"Do you know me?"

Luo Ye's voice trembled slightly, his face filled with tension and joy, with a hint of worry, and the gaze from his deep‑blue eyes was extremely complex.

Just locking eyes with him, Gu Yue Na completely didn't know how to deny being a reborn.

At that moment, the diary in her mind jumped again.

【Gu Yue Na, will you remember me?】

【Will you remember our past‑life promise, remember what we each gave to the other, remember the things we experienced together?】

【If possible, please never forget me; the feeling that only I possess past‑life memories in the whole world is truly too lonely, too hard to bear.】

【But if you don't remember, it's fine; no matter what, I will definitely bring you back to my side, and will never let that tragic past‑life ending happen again.】

After seeing these contents, Gu Yue Na looked at Luo Ye with a complex gaze, her red lips slightly parted, and she spoke softly.

"I remember, Luo Ye; how could I possibly not remember you."
