Douluo: My Wife is Gu Yuena

“Yes,” Brigitte nodded in response.

Gu Yuena didn't speak again, her gaze shifting to the receding Shrek City.

Even though she knew it was only a temporary separation, she still felt reluctant to part.

Time flies.

Three months passed in a flash.

During these three months, Mengli lived a very regular life, teaching students during the day, chatting with Gu Yuena at night, and cultivating in her spare time.

Meng Li's talent was undeniable, and with guidance from a first-level deity, his strength improved significantly even without much time.

As for the Holy Spirit Cult, they seemed to have vanished since the last time they eliminated that evil spirit master who was monitoring them, and they have not appeared in Meng Li's perception range since.

That evening, Mengli was cultivating in his bedroom as usual when suddenly, the wild soul power that was about to enter his body was attracted away from him and went into another room.

Not only him, but everyone at Shrek Academy, being Soul Masters, clearly felt the loss of wild Soul Power around them.

Everyone walked out of the room at the same time and looked toward the place where the energy was converging.

"Such a powerful energy fluctuation, it seems familiar. It looks like the same thing happened when Sister Yali broke through last time. Is this Nanali this time?"

Mengli guessed that he had given up cultivation and come to Nanali's room.

From somewhere unknown, a figure that seemed to be one with the world slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, his gaze traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and landed on Nanali.

Strange, given her destiny, she should never have been able to break through to the Limit Douluo level, yet she's about to. His brows furrowed slowly, and doubts welled up in his heart.

Fine, fine. Even if she is from the Douluo Continent, now that the God Realm is out of contact and people from other realms want to conquer the Douluo Continent, her breakthrough can be considered to increase the strength of the Douluo Continent, so I can't force her to interfere.

Thinking of this, the figure that seemed to be one with the world closed its eyes again.

At this moment, Nanali's room was shrouded in a colorful black.

Mengli activated his Golden Eyes, but he still couldn't see the situation inside the room clearly. However, he could sense that Yali was protecting Nanali inside the room.

He originally wanted to take Nanali to the world of feathers to break through, since Douluo Star had evil soul masters, which was too unsafe.

However, Nanali is already breaking through, and if he forcibly takes her away, there is a high probability that Nanali will fail to break through, and at the same time, the surrounding houses will be affected by the gathered soul power.

Soul Masters are very vulnerable when breaking through, and as a friend, he didn't want to see Nanali disturbed and fail in her breakthrough.

Mengli sat cross-legged and focused her mental energy on observing Fang Yuan's every move.

As for using Nanali's breakthrough to gain insight into the opportunity to break through his limits, he hadn't considered it. Compared to breaking through to the Limit Douluo level faster himself, he hoped his friend would be safe.
What is it that you pursue in your cultivation?

A female voice suddenly rang out in Nanali's mind as she was breaking through.

"What is the purpose of my cultivation?"

Nanali asked herself, the Martial Soul Bell floating above her head, and scenes from her past experiences flashed before her eyes like movie clips.

After an unknown amount of time, Nanali understood clearly, and her eyes shone brightly.

Gradually, the dazzling colors completely banished the darkness, and countless soul powers mixed with a special force poured into Nanali's entire body.

This special power is the mark of breaking through to the Limit Douluo level. This process is called metamorphosis, a gradual transformation that transcends the human realm, giving her a new understanding of her own path. After an unknown amount of time, Meng Li saw the light surrounding Nanali disappear, and her soul power become even purer.

Having broken through to the Limit Douluo level, Nanali couldn't wait to test her power, but seeing Mengli and Yali still protecting her, she gave up the idea.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Limit Douluo level," Ya Li said.

"Thank you."

After responding to Yali, Nanali looked at Mengli, who was sizing her up, and said:

"Meng Li, what do you think of me now that I've broken through to the Limit Douluo level?"

Mengli rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "I feel stronger."

"Anything else?"

"Hmm, a bit too young." Meng Li thought about how breaking through to the Limit Douluo level would increase lifespan.

“Thank you, Mengli!” Nanali suddenly said.

Mengli didn't understand why Nanali was thanking him. He pointed to himself and said, "Thanking me?"

Nanali nodded and said, "That's right. I know that my talent can only reach level 98 at most. It was your healing that gave me the possibility of breaking through to the Limit Douluo level."

Mengli understood, waved her hand and laughed, "Saying thank you is too formal. It was just a small favor. I don't take it seriously. If you have any treasure for me, I wouldn't mind accepting it."

After hearing this, Nanali blinked her right eye and said, "I do have treasures, but I'm afraid you won't dare to accept them."

"Oh, what treasure?" Mengli immediately became interested. "I really didn't expect you to be able to produce something I wouldn't dare to accept. You still haven't paid back the money you borrowed from me last time."

"Take a guess?" Nanali laughed.

"I'm not guessing. You're just making things up. It's nothing valuable." Mengli shook her head.

Nanali suddenly said seriously, "What if I said this treasure is mine?"

"Huh?" Yali was taken aback.

What did she mean by that? Breaking through to the Limit Douluo level shouldn't require risking his own life. Meng Li was completely baffled, but he quickly said, "You, you, never mind. Although you are good-looking, I can't be fickle. Cough cough, forget about the gift. You're right, I really don't dare to accept it."

Seeing Mengli's current embarrassed state, Nanali smiled smugly and said, "Haha, I knew you wouldn't dare to accept it."

"Is this something a normal person could come up with?" Mengli retorted.

“A normal person? You turned an evil soul master into a normal person and helped her break through to the Limit Douluo level. Plus, you're so handsome. A normal person would probably just take advantage of you and leave without a trace,” Nanali said.

"Stop, stop! What kind of twisted logic is this? Let's leave this topic here. You probably haven't fully consolidated your cultivation yet, have you? I'll protect you outside while you work on it some more." Meng Li didn't want to continue the discussion with him; he realized he was losing the argument.

After saying that, he hurriedly left the room. He went outside and saw that Tang Wulin and a group of Shrek Academy teachers and students had surrounded his house's fence.

Although there were many people, no one spoke; everyone was focused on their cultivation. It was a rare opportunity to witness a breakthrough to the Limit Douluo level, an opportunity that could allow even those who hadn't yet broken through to the Limit Douluo level to advance their cultivation to the next level.

Mengli originally wanted to drive these people away, but he gave up after thinking about it. These people were just cultivating and were from Shrek Academy. They had no ill intentions towards him, and he couldn't bring himself to ruin their opportunities.

Besides, since they all live at Shrek Academy, they'll run into each other all the time, so there's no need to make enemies over this. (End of Chapter)
