The Legend of the Dragon King

After the freezing chill swept through his body, Tang Wulin’s boiling blood began to cool down. Layers of seven-color haloes continuously impinged on Tang Wulin’s body. The color of blood in his sea of spirit gradually faded.

Tang Wulin’s spirits calmed down slowly. The tranquility froze his thoughts. The energy that impacted the thirteenth Golden Dragon King’s seal gradually faded as well. Although a crack had appeared on the thirteenth seal, the attempt to break it was halted. At the end, the breakthrough did not happen.

He seemed to have lost control of his senses. Tang Wulin felt groggy. Everything around him began to vanish, and his senses were shutting down one after another.

The world fell silent. Tang Wulin was silent too. All the voices that were calling him had gone as well. Currently, he felt as if he was immersed in freezing, blue water. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

An unknown period of time passed. When Tang Wulin gradually regained his senses, albeit in a woozy state, he felt an intense feeling of hunger. He instinctively fumbled for something to eat. He felt something warm and soft. He immediately grabbed and sucked on it.

A chilly aura came from the warm, moist object. It gratified his thirst but made him more greedy.

His senses and consciousness slowly returned as he sucked on the mysterious object.

The embrace of something as soft as cotton and supple gave him immense pleasure. He naturally hugged the tender object tight and cuddled it passionately.

He heard soft, heavy breathing sounds near his ears.

At the moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. A bone-chilling sensation surged through him to extinguish the flames that were rising within him. All of a sudden, he shuddered and woke up.

The instant he opened his eyes, the world seemed frozen in time.

What he saw was a beautiful face blushing. The purple eyes glistened with unending charm flowing from their gaze. If it were not for the extreme cold that kept surging through his body, his blood would have boiled over again.

Silver strands of hair fell on his chest. Some stray strands rested on his face. It felt ticklish, but it had her fragrance.

She was on top, their bodies entangled. What shocked him more was he had a close-up view of her smooth, snow-white skin. Their bare skins were touching with their bodies in intimate contact.

She was pleading with her eyes. She said with a gentle tone, “No, we can’t. Please stop. If we proceed, your Armageddon Domain may be reactivated. If that happens, nothing can suppress it again.”

Tang Wulin was stunned. He just realized that his hands were touching her delicate frame. One of his hands was on top while the other was at the bottom.

He bit hard on his tongue. Feeling the intense pain, he regained some awareness. However, when he laid his eyes on her, he was aroused once more.

‘I shouldn’t see!’ He quickly closed his eyes and instinctively pushed her away. Even though he was reluctant to do so, he respected and trusted her judgement.

Their touching bodies separated. Shortly after, Tang Wulin heard loud pants and an elemental shockwave surrounded them.

Without the warm and soft touch, he felt as if he had been stripped of all his strength. He felt his body’s vulnerability at the moment.

An intense pain shot through his body. He felt as if his body had been pried open. Even with his endurance for pain, he could not help but let out a grunt. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His body was not his anymore. Each of his cells seemed to be torn to pieces. He was so weak that he could not even raise a finger.

It was an unprecedented situation to him. With his powerful self-healing ability and recovery abilities, he could recuperate in a short amount of time even if he was gravely injured in a battle. However, it seemed that he was not so fortunate this time.

His awareness gradually sharpened. He finally remembered something. He recalled his fight with the Spirit Pagoda expert. Then, the violent streak invaded his spirit. Subsequently, he forgot everything that followed. Nonetheless, he still felt the thrill from releasing his emotions.

He bore the pain in his body. Tang Wulin opened his eyes with effort. He knew there was something more important than the current condition of his body.

‘How’s father? Did he make it?’

When he opened his eyes, he saw her sitting upright covered in a layer of icy blue armor.

The armor was clearly formed by ice. It concealed her beautiful figure although her body could still be seen faintly because of the translucent ice. Tang Wulin was no longer interested in his desires when he thought of his father’s safety.

“How’s my father?” he blurted.

“Father?” Gu Yuena was a little stunned. She cried out involuntarily, “What happened to father?”

Tang Wulin clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with extreme hatred. “It’s the people from the Holy Spirit Cult! In the Spirit Pagoda…” He recounted the events that happened in the Spirit Pagoda.

After she listened to his narrative, Gu Yuena’s expression changed despite herself. “No, it can’t be. Father can’t die. Don’t worry, we’ll go back together.”

When she said the words “father”, Tang Wulin was stunned. His gaze toward her changed as well.

“Who are you? Are you Na’er? Are you Gu Yue?” Tang Wulin sat up with effort. However, the intense pain suppressed that thought of his. It made him grunt despite himself.

“Don’t move.” Gu Yuena quickly went up to him. She pressed him down by the shoulders. Her mild blue halo surged into his body with the gentleness of the water element. It washed away his pain.

“You shouldn’t move now. The Damask Tulip and the others sent father over. With the Holy Spirit Douluo’s treatment, he’ll surely be safe. Since the Damask Tulip and the others aren’t back yet, they’re probably assisting to save father. What you should do now is to take care of yourself. You’re in a very bad condition and I need to help you suppress it. Just a slip, and you may return to your previous state. Hence, the most important thing for you to do now is to stabilize your emotions.”

Tang Wulin said furiously, “My father’s on the brink of death. How do you expect me to calm down? Gu Yuena, I can’t stand it anymore. I respect you for who you are and care about you. Now, can you at least tell me who you are? You know, it’s not the first time I’m on the verge of breaking down.”

Gu Yuena paused for a while. As she infused Tang Wulin’s body with the water element, she bit on her lower lip softly. She only spoke after a long while, “You really want to know?”

Tang Wulin was taken aback. “Tell me.”

Gu Yuena drew a deep breath and nodded strongly. “At the moment, I’m Na’er.”

Na’er? When he heard her, Tang Wulin was puzzled. If it were true, then the person he kissed just now was Na’er. Maybe it was because he had treated her as Gu Yue all along. His spirits might have swayed. Confusion filled his heart. He was speechless.

“I was Gu Yue before this.” Gu Yuena’s next statement brought him back to reality.

Tang Wulin was stupefied. He waited for her explanation.
