Chapter 60 Meeting the Parents?!
Chapter 61 Meeting the Parents?!
The Spirit Pagoda of the East Sea welcomed a special visitor today.
He was exceptionally tall and imposing, appearing to be around forty thousand years old, with a stern face and features as sharp and resolute as if carved by a knife and axe.
Although dressed simply and concealing all her outward aura, her dignified and composed demeanor when standing still still stood out from the busy staff of the Spirit Pagoda around her.
Under Gu Yue's personal guidance, the two walked in silence through the busy areas of the tower, took the soul-guided elevator, and went straight to the upper floors that were difficult for outsiders to access.
As the tall man stepped into Gu Yue's simply furnished and spacious room, the door closed silently, and he abruptly stopped.
He faced the girl before him, his head slightly bowed, his voice steady and filled with reverence: "My lord."
This person is none other than the King of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, who is revered as the common master by countless soul beasts and once made human titled Douluo tremble at the mere mention of his name!
In the past, Emperor Tian was so arrogant and domineering.
The aura emanating from him alone was enough to terrify even the strongest human warriors.
However, at this moment, Di Tian, who was standing in front of Gu Yue, had completely suppressed his domineering aura.
His signature golden eyes turned into deep black, and the strand of golden hair on his forehead disappeared.
He was like a peerless, deadly blade sheathed in an old leather case, its sharpness concealed, leaving only the weight and silence accumulated over the years.
He was once the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, but now the Star Dou Great Forest is on the verge of destruction, and his pride has long been shattered.
Gu Yue gazed quietly at the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King before her, who was utterly loyal to her. A complex and unfathomable ripple flickered deep within his dark eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.
She stepped forward, her voice not loud, but carrying an unwavering determination: "Rest assured, I will lead the soul beasts to reclaim everything we have lost."
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Di Tian's eyes, a light that contained a hope that had not been extinguished despite the vicissitudes of life.
He had no doubt about Gu Yue's promise.
Because his master is a split half of the Dragon God, an existence that inherited the Dragon God's astonishing wisdom, and is the only glimmer of hope for the future of the Soul Beast race.
He straightened his posture slightly, his expression becoming solemn, and asked in a deep voice, "Did His Majesty summon me here specifically to give you important instructions?"
Gu Yue nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I'll introduce you to someone later."
She paused briefly, then added, "However, you must control yourself and absolutely not lose your composure."
The doorman said, "Rest assured, my lord."
Di Tian immediately responded, his expression serious and earnest.
However, beneath that serious demeanor, he didn't take the reminder too seriously.
He is—Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!
Having survived for hundreds of thousands of years, ruled over the vast starry sky, and clashed or maneuvered with the strongest human beings throughout history.
What kind of person or what kind of scene in this world could make him "lose his composure"?
He has almost absolute confidence in this.
Gu Yue glanced at Di Tian, said nothing more, and turned to leave the room.
She took the soul-guided elevator to the next floor and stopped in front of a door.
She raised her hand and tapped lightly twice on the smooth door panel with her knuckles.
"Tap, tap."
Almost the instant the knocking sounded, the person inside had already "seen" the visitor through their mental power.
Therefore, when the door was pulled open inward and Huo Yuhao's face appeared behind it, he showed no surprise.
"Gu Yue," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Perfect timing, I was planning to come find you anyway."
"Um?"
Gu Yue stood at the door, her gaze questioning.
"It's vacation time now," Huo Yuhao explained. "I'm planning to go back to Shrek City to see my teacher. Do you want to come along?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue gently shook her head: "I need to return to my family in a couple of days, so I won't be going with you to see the teacher."
"Alright."
Huo Yuhao nodded, not feeling disappointed. Everyone has their own arrangements, which is perfectly normal.
He looked at Gu Yue, then asked, "What brings you here?"
Gu Yue looked up, met his gaze, and said, "Yes, I'm taking you to see someone."
"OK."
Huo Yuhao agreed very readily.
He didn't need to prepare anything special, so he simply closed the door behind him and followed Gu Yue out.
The two stepped into the soul-guided elevator. With a soft hum as the metal doors closed, Huo Yuhao asked with a hint of curiosity, "Who are we going to see?"
Gu Yue didn't keep her in suspense. With her gaze fixed on the changing floor numbers, she calmly replied, "My father has come to Donghai City. I'll take you, Senior Brother, to meet him."
Father?
Huo Yuhao was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.
He already knew that Gu Yue came from a reclusive family, and that her father must also be a powerful figure who kept his abilities hidden.
But that's not the point.
The key point is—this is to see Gu Yue's father!
During his time in Donghai City, he had spent every day with his fellow disciples, Gu Yue and Gu Yue, attending classes and training together, and they had become quite familiar with each other.
In this relationship, Gu Yue displayed a composure and initiative beyond her years.
It seems that Gu Yue has been the one putting in the effort to bring the two closer, while Huo Yuhao has only been passively receiving the results.
This is one of the reasons why Xie Xie jokingly said that "Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao are getting closer and closer."
In Huo Yuhao's youthful understanding, a girl being so "proactive" towards him was truly remarkable.
So this is probably how "liking" someone manifests, right?
Indeed, Huo Yuhao secretly believed that Gu Yue must like him.
However, he has consistently chosen to pretend he doesn't know and has not given a clear response.
The reason is simple: historical records clearly state that he had a wife ten thousand years ago.
That Dragon Butterfly Douluo, Tang Wutong, possesses four Martial Soul Fusion Skills with 100% compatibility with "herself," making them a match made in heaven.
While browsing through those historical materials, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a vague expectation, hoping to meet his destined partner in the future.
However, to say that Huo Yuhao was completely unmoved by Gu Yue's cool yet undeniable "proactiveness" would be utter self-deception.
With the heart of a young man, being liked by others, especially by a girl as talented and unique as Gu Yue, naturally makes it difficult to completely suppress the quietly growing joy and vanity.
He even involuntarily recalled what his teacher, Leng Yaozhu, had once told him: perhaps he really should be a little more of a womanizer!
He can travel between two worlds, so finding a lover in this world ten thousand years in the future doesn't seem like a big deal, right?
However, these were just thoughts that popped into Huo Yuhao's mind from time to time, but he was now facing a real problem!
He never expected that the "progress" between him and Gu Yue would be so rapid.
So this means I'm about to meet the "parents"?!
The elevator came to a smooth stop, and the doors slid open to both sides.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressing the subtle tension and absurdity in his heart, and followed Gu Yue outside.
