Chapter 351 Gu Yue Loses His Majesty Once Again
"hehe……"
Faced with this confession, Long Yeyue merely sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm:
"Save your breath. I didn't come to see you today to talk about these old, trivial matters."
A hint of doubt flickered in Chen Xinjie's eyes.
He had just clearly noticed the fleeting look of reminiscence in Long Yeyue's eyes before she made her move.
Even that slap, though it was hard.
But in his view, it was like when they were still deeply in love, and she expressed her unique love for him after feeling shy and angry.
But before Chen Xinjie could say anything in his defense...
Long Yeyue took a deep breath, forcibly restoring her usual calm and composed demeanor, and said indifferently:
"The Vast Ocean Crystal suddenly issued a strong warning at dawn today. This indicates that some serious problem unknown to us has occurred in the depths of the ocean, which may even endanger the remaining authority of the sea god."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie, who had been thinking about how to say sweet words to win back Long Yeyue, suddenly changed his expression.
……
Shrek City is located near the center of the Douluo Continent, while Mingdu, the capital of the Federation, is located on the westernmost side of the continent.
The two are far apart, and even by taking the most advanced soul-guided high-speed train, it would take three days and nights of continuous travel to reach them.
On this luxurious train that runs directly to Mingdu, Huo Yuhao and his companions also generously booked a total of seven double sleeper compartments.
Because of Nunnally's sudden arrival, and the need to find an opportunity to explore the deep sea, things have changed.
As the "extra" person on this trip, Huo Yuhao naturally had a private room all to himself.
Inside the soft sleeper compartment.
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue, who was sitting on the empty bed opposite him, her brows slightly furrowed in thought, and softly instructed her:
"If anyone knocks on my door later, just tell them that I'm currently working on the final touches of Nanali's four-word battle armor design and won't be seeing anyone for a while."
Hearing this, Gu Yue's dark eyes flickered slightly. Seeing Huo Yuhao about to raise his hand to summon the gate to the undead demiplane, her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of hesitation:
"Um... when you open and enter this undead demiplane, the coordinate anchor point should be fixed, right?"
Don't forget, we're currently on a soul-guided train speeding along at high speed.
This situation involuntarily reminded her of the story in human classics called "Marking the Boat to Find the Sword".
Although reason told her that Huo Yuhao, with his wit, would not make such a low-level and ridiculous mistake.
But once that awkward scene appeared in her mind, Gu Yue's lips, which were originally slightly pursed, still involuntarily turned up a little.
Seeing Gu Yue's unusually adorable and dazed expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile helplessly and explained gently, "Don't worry, I was prepared for this."
I've already left the same spatial coordinates on Yali. When I return after finishing my business, I'll directly locate myself in her room, instead of leaving myself stranded on a railway track in the middle of nowhere.
At this point, Huo Yuhao seemed to suddenly remember something important.
He raised his right hand, and with a slight thought, his index fingertip was slashed by an invisible blade of energy.
A drop of blood, gleaming with a rich golden light and emitting a strange fragrance, slowly condensed.
"I don't know how long this trip will take; I probably won't be back anytime soon. That drop I was supposed to give you every night... now..."
However, before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking...
Gu Yue, who was sitting upright on the bed, suddenly sat up the moment she smelled that scent, as if she had triggered some kind of instinctive switch.
Her jet-black pupils instantly transformed into vertical dragon eyes, and the blood within her began to surge wildly, driving her to completely abandon her usual reserve and composure.
He grabbed the hand without a second thought and put the blood-stained fingers into his warm mouth.
A sense of satisfaction emanating from the depths of her soul made her let out a soft moan, followed by a greedy sucking.
After an unknown amount of time, until that drop of essence blood was completely absorbed, Gu Yue reluctantly opened her mouth.
But the next moment, that intoxicating instinct gradually faded, and reason once again took over the top of the brain.
Realizing that he had once again acted out of control, doing something so unbecoming of his status and dignity as the ruler of the soul beasts.
Gu Yue's ears instantly flushed slightly, and she glared at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of embarrassment and anger:
"Didn't I tell you beforehand that you need to notify me in advance before giving me your essence blood so that I can be mentally prepared?"
"You must have done this on purpose..."
"You must have done this on purpose..."
Whenever Gu Yue faced the gushing essence blood, he felt his innate nature as a soul beast instantly overwhelm all his reason.
Although deep down he simply craved power, the way he actually acted was like a starving little animal begging for food from its master, which was really embarrassing.
In order to barely maintain her last vestige of authority as the ruler of all soul beasts, Gu Yue had specifically made a three-point agreement with Huo Yuhao.
During his time at the academy, Huo Yuhao had diligently forced out his essence blood in advance, allowing it to float in mid-air.
In this way, she could naturally and majestically receive and enjoy the power belonging to the Dragon God.
How could it be like just now, completely out of control, even having to hold someone's fingers and make those shameful sucking sounds?
Feeling the lingering dampness on his fingers, Huo Yuhao explained somewhat awkwardly, "I only remembered this right before I left, so I didn't think much about it."
To be honest, I thought that after so many days, you should have developed some antibodies by now, but I didn't expect the reaction to still be like this..."
"you……"
Gu Yue, who was always known for her calm and composure, was also choked by these words and became a little angry, her beautiful eyes wide open.
However, considering the current emergency situation, she finally deflated like a punctured balloon and sighed:
"Forget it, I won't hold this against you. Since you said that the Golden Dragon King will lend you a hand, I won't pry into your secrets anymore."
However, there is one thing you must always remember: be cautious in everything you do, and never be reckless.
"If something really happens to you, even if I forcibly break the seal, I might not be able to suppress the Golden Dragon King's completely out-of-control evil thoughts."
Just look at the almost obsessive level of concern that Golden Dragon King showed for Huo Yuhao.
Gu Yue didn't even dare to imagine what crazy things the Golden Dragon King would do if something really happened to Huo Yuhao.
It's likely that the entire Douluo Continent will be completely destroyed by her wrath.
Hearing these awkward but genuinely caring words, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart and nodded earnestly.
Without further delay, he strode straight into the doorway that emitted a gray-gold glow, and in a flash, he completely disappeared from the private room.
……
Northwest of Douluo Continent, above the vast and boundless sea.
A streak of azure light and a streak of black and white light streaked through the sky at breakneck speed, one after the other, accompanied by a tremendous whooshing sound.
I don't know how long they flew at full speed like that.
Chen Xinjie, still dressed in his crisp military uniform, slowly slowed down his flight and gestured for Long Yeyue behind him to stop.
"We've arrived. According to the guidance of the Vast Ocean Crystal, if nothing unexpected happens, the source of the message should be beneath this sea area."
They had already left Shrek Academy in a hurry and traveled across most of the continent to reach the Sea God Legion at the southernmost tip.
After deciphering the hidden message within the Vast Ocean Crystal, they hadn't even had time to catch their breath.
Chen Xinjie's expression changed drastically again. He flew in a large circle along the mainland coastline for several hours at lightning speed before finally arriving at this remote sea area located in the northwest corner of the mainland.
To complete the task entrusted by his ancestors, even with the cultivation level of a Limit Douluo, such high-intensity continuous travel was still a considerable burden for Long Yeyue, whose lifespan was already running out.
As she stopped, she felt a deep weariness, and her breathing became somewhat disordered.
But seeing Chen Xinjie's habitual commanding manner, Long Yeyue's inexplicable irritation only intensified.
With a cold snort, he forced himself to take a deep breath, and with a swift movement, he passed Chen Xinjie several steps ahead, leaving him with only a slightly hunched back view, as if even glancing at him was too much of a bother.
Seeing this, Chen Xinjie could only sigh helplessly.
He also knew that he had been in the position of the highest commander of the Poseidon Legion for a long time, and some habits had indeed become ingrained and were difficult to change.
In addition, Long Yeyue is a proud person, and the century-old grudges between the two of them have not yet been settled.
Her spiteful behavior was indeed quite reasonable.
Seeing Long Yeyue's somewhat unstable breathing, Chen Xinjie felt a surge of worry and said:
"Night Moon, I repeatedly advised you before we set off. This operation is extremely dangerous, and there was really no need for you to come here with me."
Based on the information transmitted from the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, Chen Xinjie was not actually confident of victory against the Beast God Emperor Tian, who had disappeared with the Star Dou Soul Beast.
After all, the opponent had been the strongest in Douluo Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, and there were other sea spirit beast groups helping him as well.
This action to defend the glory of the sea god will likely be exceptionally difficult.
It's one thing if he dies on the battlefield; that was the mission of the Sea God family patriarch.
But if something were to happen to Long Yeyue during this battle, Chen Xinjie's life would likely fall into complete darkness, with no light left to shine.
"Oh……"
Upon hearing these words, Long Yeyue showed no emotion whatsoever. Instead, she let out a cold, mocking laugh and said in an icy voice:
"Chen Xinjie, stop with that pretentious, sentimental act. It disgusts me. If you really cared about me as much as you say, you wouldn't have made that heartbreaking choice back then."
"No, Ye Yue, let me explain, I..."
Chen Xinjie opened his mouth, wanting to continue to defend what happened back then, but he was interrupted by Long Yeyue's extremely forceful voice before he could finish speaking.
"Alright, enough nonsense. The reason I came here is not only for the Sea God and the academy, but also for myself."
My ancestors have already promised me that if I can successfully complete this mission and overcome this crisis, they will help me resurrect that poor child who died young when the time is right.
Chen Xinjie, you should know very well what this means, right?
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his body jolted violently.
He certainly knew what Long Yeyue meant by those words.
After making that choice for the sake of his family's interests back then, he cruelly "abandoned" her.
Disheartened, Long Yeyue turned around and married Tianjuan Douluo, even bearing him a child.
The child was born with congenital deficiencies due to a miscarriage earlier, and died shortly after birth.
Thinking of this, the bitter expression on Chen Xinjie's old face became even more pronounced.
"Yueyue, I know it's all my fault. If I had woken up sooner and understood what was truly important to me, perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation today, and you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Now we're both practically half-buried, the past is gone. Even if it was your child with Tianjuan, as long as it fulfills your wish and makes you happy.
"Even if it costs me my life, I, Chen Xinjie, will do everything in my power to help you achieve this wish."
At this point, Chen Xinjie paused, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying to calm his extremely complicated emotions.
Then, that hoarse, low voice rang out again, carrying an almost humble plea:
"The Heavenly Douluo has been gone for many years. If that child is fortunate enough to be resurrected, I am willing to treat him as my own flesh and blood, and even let him inherit everything from me."
As long as you're willing to stay by my side for the rest of my days, I'll be content and have no regrets in this life.
Upon hearing these words, Long Yeyue's hunched body trembled violently.
Even though it was her and Chen Xinjie's child, if Chen Xinjie hadn't chosen to abandon her, how could she have gone through a miscarriage in such extreme grief?
Ultimately, the real culprit is Chen Xinjie!
After a long silence.
Long Yeyue slowly turned around, her cloudy old eyes filled with disdain, and said, word by word:
"Chen Xinjie, it's been a century since we last met, and you've truly once again broadened my understanding of your shamelessness. I just want to tell you one thing."
"You are not worthy to raise my child, whom I have been blessed with by Heaven!"
Hearing Long Yeyue's almost roaring voice, Chen Xinjie closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of turbid tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
