"What else could it be?"
Tang Luochuan remained silent for a long while, giving Gu Yue a look as if she were an idiot.
If he wasn't born to his own parents, could he possibly have been born to the person in front of him? How could Gu Yue even ask such a question?
"I..."
"I'm sorry, I misspoke..."
Seeing Tang Luochuan's dumbfounded expression, Gu Yue quickly waved her hand and said somewhat embarrassedly. However, the light in her eyes didn't fade despite his response.
The person before her was indeed human, but that didn't mean... he was always human before.
The Golden Dragon King had died, of course she knew that.
But for him to appear in such a young form could only mean one thing - he was still alive.
Dead, but not completely dead.
If the Golden Dragon King had truly dissipated, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline would have completely vanished from this world, rather than transferring to another person.
This could only mean that he had somehow been reborn on the Douluo Continent, and even in human form...
"It's fortunate you're clever, kid. If you were really gone, I, as the Silver Dragon King, would truly be lonely."
Gu Yue gazed deeply at Tang Luochuan before her, her face showing no particular emotion as she displayed a beautiful smile. In her heart, however, she was already sighing.
This guy...
He's quite smart indeed!
No wonder he's got Na'er head over heels for him.
So you're not actually human after all!
"Hmm..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Looking at the situation before him, Tang Luochuan hesitated, then couldn't help but ask.
She smiled? She's smiling?
He didn't know what she was thinking, but from the current situation, it seemed things were not so simple.
Of course, Tang Luochuan had no idea about Gu Yue's thoughts. Even if he did know, he would be deeply shocked by her reasoning, because...
Her idea wasn't wrong at all. When the Golden Dragon King died, she had just come out of seclusion and didn't even know how he had passed, so she was completely in the dark.
She was even less aware that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline had been preserved, and now with his appearance, the chances of reincarnation were too high.
"Nothing."
"I just feel that between our Martial Souls... there's a great attraction. Haven't you noticed?"
Gu Yue looked at him, her expression serious.
To prevent him from misunderstanding, she specifically mentioned the attraction between their Martial Souls, rather than between the two of them. After all, even though Na'er had accepted him, she herself hadn't yet...
"I have that feeling."
"But why is that?"
Tang Luochuan showed a thoughtful expression, and then very politely asked.
"Your Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon King. Perhaps this name doesn't have much significance across the entire continent, but I think you should know about its innate powerful strength..."
"It is one of the only two Soul Beast Gods in the world."
Gu Yue took a deep breath, her face showing a serious expression as she stared directly at the person before her, enunciating each word.
"While my Martial Soul is called the Elementalist, according to an ancestral book left by my family, this is not accurate. My Martial Soul actually originates from another powerful Soul Beast God..."
"The Silver Dragon King."
Gu Yue took a deep breath, revealing a serious expression as she looked directly at the person in front of her and stated plainly.
As she spoke, she released her Martial Soul. While there was no apparent change, upon closer inspection, silver Dragon Scales shimmered on her skin.
"This is my Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon King."
"Gold and Silver."
"I think…"
"This might be why I wanted to come to East Sea City, and why I felt something different the moment I saw you."
Gu Yue murmured.
She then gazed quietly at Tang Luochuan, seemingly content to wait for him to process everything she'd said, rather than continuing. After all, for a young boy… this was a lot to take in.
"…"
Under Gu Yue's gaze, Tang Luochuan fell silent. Truly silent.
In Gu Yue's eyes, I really am different. Why did she tell me about the relationship between the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King so quickly? In the original story, she didn't reveal this until right before the Thousand-Day Dragon Burial. This… this script isn't right.
"You can take your time to accept all of this. There's no rush."
"Let's stay together from now on. I mean, like, cultivating and living together, not what you're thinking…" Gu Yue said slowly, a smile on her face.
"…" Tang Luochuan was speechless. Cultivating and living together with her—was there really any difference from being together with her?
"If you have time later…"
"You can come to my house. My family can confirm everything I've said. Of course…"
"Only if you're willing." Gu Yue looked at him and continued.
"Cough—" Tang Luochuan was completely stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing his reaction, Gu Yue was surprised and quickly asked.
"No."
"I was just thinking…"
"Do you mean you want to take me to meet your parents?" Tang Luochuan took a deep breath and then said with a smile.
"Um…"
"Um?????" Hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes widened, and she froze, completely dumbfounded.
No… That's not what I meant! Although she had considered their future development, they were still children, so it wasn't going to be that fast!
...
Tang Luochuan: Oh no, I've been targeted by the Silver Dragon King!
