Chapter 62: The Enigmas of Gu Yue Na

~7 min read 1,292 words

Bai Yuan ignored Di Tian's thoughts.

Anyway, he currently has no bound quota.

As for taking Di Tian as a disciple, as long as he watches Bai Yu, Mu Junwu, and Wang Qiuer become gods, he will set aside his pride and become a master.

Bai Yuan, with Xiao Wu, rode a sword and flew toward the assembled Title Douluo; his speed was neither fast nor slow, but aside from the people of the Seven Treasure Glass Sect, the other Title Douluo subconsciously took a step back.

Bai Yuan, smiling broadly, said, "Don't be afraid; I'm a reasonable person, and under normal circumstances I don't kill."

No one answered him; the Title Douluo hovered in midair, eyes extremely vigilant as they stared at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan, somewhat helpless, said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. If I wanted to act, I would have acted already. I'm here to give you all a benefit."

Killing this group is impossible.

After all, killing half of the human Title Douluo would look like an attempt to exterminate humanity, which would inevitably draw the attention of the Divine Realm.

But Bai Yuan will not let them know.

"Benefit?" Bi Bi Dong and the others sounded confused, not understanding what kind of medicine Bai Yuan had in his gourd, but they instinctively felt it wouldn't be something good.

Bai Yuan nodded, "Exactly, it's a benefit for all of you Title Douluo."

He seized the vines entwining Xiao Wu, shook them in midair, and drew everyone's attention: "Do you see this Reincarnated Soul Beast in my hand?"

Bi Bi Dong, expressionless, nodded, "Seen it. Are you now going to magnanimously give it to us?"

The Title Douluo fixed their gazes on Xiao Wu; their eyes and expressions, to varying degrees, showed greed, and even the people of the Seven Treasure Glass Sect were no exception.

After all, a 100,000-year Soul Ring cannot be absorbed; it can be left to one's successors to cultivate a peerless celestial prodigy, while a Soul Bone can be used personally and passed down for countless generations as an invaluable treasure.

Bai Yuan shook his head, "Giving it away is impossible, but its price is low now; you only need to bring the Poison Douluo before me, or bring me before the Poison Douluo."

The Title Douluo's breaths caught slightly.

Previously they needed Tang San's and Tang Hao's heads, plus to capture Dugu Bo alive; now only the final condition remains, and Bai Yuan didn't make them chase the fleeing Tang San.

"How can we trust you?" Bi Bi Dong asked gravely.

Bai Yuan replied, "Believe it or not, in my eyes you're just ants. Even after giving you a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, can you still cause a wave?"

When he finished speaking, most Title Douluo remained calm and unmoved, because they thought the statement was self‑evident.

However, Bi Bi Dong and Qian Renxue clenched their teeth inwardly, eyes fixed on Bai Yuan, looking as if they would someday avenge this humiliation.

Bai Yuan said lightly, "Alright, the task has been issued. Those who want the Reincarnated Soul Beast, go find it quickly; those who don't can leave on your own, don't get in my way."

The Title Douluo glanced at each other's reactions; the first group to leave was clearly led by Bi Bi Dong of the Spirit Hall, followed by Yu Xiaogang's father Yu Yuanzhen.

Then Ning Fengzhi said, "Senior Bai Yuan, may I see Rong Rong? It's been over a year since we last met."

Bai Yuan lightly nodded, "Since you performed better this time, I'll let you father and daughter meet, but until I locate the Poison Douluo, you may not take her away."

Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Thank you, senior."

Suddenly, a pretty young girl appeared amid the ruins, smiling broadly and waving toward them, "Dad, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu."

All three showed delighted expressions and hurried over.

Bai Yuan watched the reunited family quietly, a hint of emotion in his brows.

Although to this father‑daughter pair he is a villain, seeing their reunion makes Bai Yuan intensely envious.

After all, he has no relatives on Blue Star, and none in this world either.

"You actually envy them?" Gu Yue Na's slightly surprised voice sounded beside Bai Yuan's ear.

At that moment, in Bai Yuan's view, Gu Yue Na, Wang Qiuer, and Bai Yu's figures materialized from the void.

But whether it was the nearby family or those beside Bai Yuan, also envying Ning Rongrong's Qian Renxue, none noticed anything amiss.

Bai Yuan, without any concealment, nodded, "Indeed I'm a bit envious; after all I'm alone, and every night I feel lonely."

Gu Yue Na lowered her eyes, saying nothing.

Her gorgeous purple eyes flickered slightly.

Bai Yu then ran over, foot barely touching the air, raised her hand and hammered Bai Yuan's thigh with a punch, pouting dissatisfied, "Master, why are you alone? Don't you have me, Qiu'er, a second junior sister, and… the Lord?"

Bai Yu paused then added, "Master, if you feel lonely late at night, just come find me, find Qiu'er, find the second junior sister, find the Lord for a chat; what's there to envy?"

Bai Yuan couldn't help a "haha" laugh, lifted Bai Yu with one hand, pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, alright, when I'm bored I'll come play with you all."

Wang Qiu'er then walked over and clasped Bai Yuan's hand.

Gu Yue Na watched the scene, and a feeling of envy suddenly rose in her heart.

Heights are cold.

Those in lofty positions are always lonely.

The Dragon God is, and she naturally is as well.

Di Tian came to Gu Yue Na's side; he now doesn't understand Bai Yuan's feelings, nor his Lord's thoughts.

After all, he has always believed himself lonely, yet in reality he always had companions.

Di Tian now only wants to clarify one thing.

He also just wants to dissipate the haze in his heart.

Di Tian bowed his head and asked reverently, "Lord, I once pursued the heart of the strong, the invincible heart—was that wrong? Should I actually do as Bai Yuan says?"

Gu Yue Na glanced back at Di Tian, pondered briefly, then said slowly, "What he just said wasn't wrong."

Di Tian's expression stiffened; to him, what Bai Yuan said and what Gu Yue Na said were completely different matters.

Bai Yuan at most makes Di Tian doubt the past. Yet Gu Yue Na can completely deny everything Di Tian once insisted upon.

Gu Yue Na added, "But you're not wrong either."

Di Tian, a bit dazed, came to his senses, very confused.

Gu Yue Na, as if to herself, said, "Your pursuits are different. Bai Yuan seeks steady victory; you seek opponents, battle, improvement."

Di Tian's gaze hardened; he inhaled deeply, knelt on one knee and said, "Di Tian thanks the Lord for the guidance."

Gu Yue Na gave no reply; she simply stared quietly at the three Bai Yuan, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of bewilderment.

Not long after, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's people left, and they simultaneously decided to leave the chance to evolve their martial souls to Ning Rongrong.

Because Bai Yuan had already promised them that, as long as they found the Poison Douluo, no matter who it was, he would return Ning Rongrong to them and help them evolve their martial souls.

This can be considered a reward for the previous.

Bai Yuan looked to the side, where Qian Renxue, who still had no intention of leaving, said: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Qian Renxue looked at Bai Yuan for a moment, then at Xiao Wu for a moment, and said: "I know where the Poison Douluo is."
