Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 169 Misunderstanding
After returning to the room, no matter how reluctant he was, he still cleaned himself up under Gu Yuena's cold gaze.

During the previous training, Gu Yuena's energy was not wasted. Not only did she protect Ning Rongrong's body from being hurt by the heavy weight, but she also began to replenish her energy and strength after Ning Rongrong finished her training. After a dinner, she had already recovered almost everything.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong only felt very tired mentally at the moment, but her body was still full of energy and not to the point where she could not move.

Lying on the bed, Ning Rongrong had no mind to think about anything else. She simply closed her eyes and planned to have a good rest.

But after a moment, a pair of eyes opened again, unusually bright.

A look of doubt flashed across her face.

She clearly felt like she was about to fall asleep at any moment out of exhaustion, but how come she felt so energetic after lying down on the bed?

Ning Rongrong slowly turned her head and looked across the room, at Gu Yuena who was meditating on another bed. A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, and then she quietly climbed off the bed.

Feeling something strange on the bed, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ning Rongrong who had already taken a place on the bed, her beautiful eyes slightly frowned.

"Why are you in my bed instead of going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep, so I want to chat with you. After all, you are my first teacher, and I don't know you well enough."

Ning Rongrong opened her big watery eyes and said innocently.

When Gu Yuena heard Ning Rongrong mention the word "teacher", the impatience that had arisen in her heart suddenly disappeared strangely. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Ning Rongrong's face suddenly became a little excited when she heard this.

"Teacher, are you a Titled Douluo? What kind of martial spirit is it? Can you show it to me?"

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then turned her palm up. A silver light flashed in the room, and a lifelike body that had shrunk countless times appeared in her palm.

"Silver Dragon King, my martial spirit."

Ning Rongrong looked at the silver dragon with a sacred sheen and a slender figure, revealing an elegant aura. Her expression suddenly became dull and she couldn't help muttering.

"So beautiful, worthy of being the teacher's martial spirit."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's unconscious words, Gu Yuena's stern face couldn't help but raise an imperceptible arc.

"But what kind of soul beast is the Silver Dragon King? Why have I never heard of it?"

Soon, Ning Rongrong came back to her senses from the elegant dragon shadow and looked at Gu Yuena with some curiosity.

"You only need to know that the Silver Dragon King is the king of soul beasts. He carries a difficult mission and the expectations of countless creatures."

Gu Yuena's explanation made Ning Rongrong even more confused. At her current age, she was unable to understand Gu Yuena's words, so she chose to ignore them and asked another question in her heart again.

"Teacher, you are a powerful Title Douluo, and your foster father seems to be a 7th-ringed Soul Saint. Why did you choose to stay by his side and protect him? Are you a couple?"

"Couple? What does that mean?"

Gu Yuena was stunned when she heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't understand what Ning Rongrong meant.

This made Ning Rongrong a little stunned.

"No way, teacher, you don't even know what a couple means?!"

"Tell me!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Gu Yuena also felt a little curious.

Ning Rongrong scratched her head, organized her words, and then spoke.

"Teacher, when you walk down the street, have you seen a man and a woman walking together?"

Gu Yuena nodded subconsciously.

"Then they are most likely a couple. On a dark and windy night, they will give birth to cute babies, and then form a complete family and accompany each other for the rest of their lives."

After hearing Ning Rongrong's explanation, Gu Yuena was a little dazed, her mind went blank, her cheeks quickly heated up and turned red.

She and Chen Yao are a couple?

Will they be together, give birth to a baby dragon, and then stay together for life?
how can that be!

Suddenly, Gu Yuena shook her head repeatedly and said to Ning Rongrong in a very tense manner.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have that kind of relationship with him? The reason I protect him is just because of some kind of cooperation and agreement. Okay, go to bed quickly and don't bother me. If you can't sleep, I can help you!"

Gu Yuena's voice was now a few notches higher than before, enough to show her chaotic emotions at the moment, and there was a hint of unkindness in her expression as she looked towards Ning Rongrong.

"It's not what it is, why are you so fierce?"

Ning Rongrong was also startled by Gu Yuena's sudden change in attitude. She curled her lips in a somewhat aggressive manner, but still returned to her bed obediently under Gu Yuena's increasingly fierce aura.

After Ning Rongrong left, Gu Yuena lay on the bed, her mind full of thoughts.

Although she has lived for nearly a million years and possesses great power, she holds supreme power among the soul beast clans.

But emotionally, it's like a blank piece of paper without a single ink stain.

When she heard that explanation from Ning Rongrong for the first time, she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Why does Ning Rongrong think that Chen Yao and I are in a relationship?

Is it because of Chen Yao’s strange behavior today?
Why did Chen Yao do that?
Could it be that, as Ning Rongrong said, he also developed feelings for me similar to those of a human partner?
So what should she do?
Reject? But if he refused, would Chen Yao be angry and cause a rift between him and the soul beast?
Will you accept it? Although Chen Yao is the successor of the Dark Lord and is a good match for her, he is a human after all. How can he be united with her? Moreover, she is the co-lord of the soul beasts and bears the heavy responsibility of the soul beasts' revival. How can she talk about such love? For a moment, Gu Yuena's brain was extremely confused. She tossed and turned and could not sleep. The healing of her injuries also came to a standstill.

In the following period of time, Chen Yao lived a very comfortable life in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. After regaining the refinement of his soul power, his control over his soul power and distraction control method improved steadily every day. In his spare time, he could still drink tea and appreciate Gu Yuena's training of Ning Rongrong, which was also a pleasure.

It's just that Gu Yuena's behavior has been a little strange recently, avoiding him from time to time. Even when Chen Yao proposed to practice with Gu Yuena to check the results of his training, Gu Yuena would run away with a red face, and kept emphasizing that she was the co-master of the soul beasts and could not consider these things for the time being, which made Chen Yao confused for a while.

Although he didn't particularly care about it, Chen Yao was too lazy to bother with Gu Yuena anymore. He had to at least wait until Gu Yuena recovered.

Although Gu Yuena is convenient as a sparring partner, she is not the only choice. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still has two old men who have nothing to do all day long.

Gu Yuena, who had regarded Chen Yao's previous request for sparring as harassment, felt relieved when she saw her implicit hint and Chen Yao backed off.

Although she was not against Chen Yao, the burden on her shoulders was too heavy and she really didn't know how to respond to Chen Yao's feelings.

But this kind of relief did not last long. Feeling Chen Yao's growing indifference and alienation, Gu Yuena felt a sense of loss in her heart, as if a corner of her heart was missing and it was empty.

But she still couldn't understand the complicated emotions, and didn't know what caused the sudden bitterness in her heart, so she had to suppress it.

On this day, as usual, Chen Yao and others finished a day of practice and came to the hall of the front hall to have dinner.

Ning Fengzhi, as usual, was immersed in busy official duties and unable to extricate himself. At the sumptuous dinner, there were still only Chen Yao and a few others.

However, just as they were about to sit down, a furtive figure appeared outside the open palace door.

Ning Rongrong and Gu Yuena soon noticed something and looked slightly stunned.

However, the figure outside the door seemed not to notice and walked in openly.

Under the light in the hall, the two could see the figure clearly.

The visitor was a maid dressed in the standard uniform of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. She had a pretty face and a slender and graceful figure. She was a rare and beautiful woman.

Ning Rongrong frowned immediately upon seeing this.

She recognized this maid. She was a maid from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with outstanding appearance. She didn't know why she was so unruly today. Several people were having a meal here, and this person dared to walk in without permission.

However, just when Ning Rongrong was about to scold, the maid quickened her pace and came up to her. She first bowed to Ning Rongrong in a panic, and after asking a question, she walked to Chen Yao's side, pulled out a chair, and sat down with a slightly shy look on her face.

Ning Rongrong and Gu Yuena were stunned by this scene.

And then, in the extremely surprised gazes of the two, Chen Yao did not avoid suspicion at all. He grabbed the shoulders of the beautiful maid beside him, and with a wicked smile on his lewd face, he whispered into the maid's ear.

No one knew what Chen Yao said to the maid, which made the maid's cheeks turn red. She couldn't help but pout, waving her fists and gently hitting Chen Yao's chest, which made Chen Yao couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yao had been in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for quite some time. After a period of relaxation, the meanness that was almost engraved in his bones began to break out again. When he was strolling in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect by chance, he discovered this beautiful maid, and he subconsciously had the impulse to step forward and tease her.

Although with his current appearance, Chen Yao himself could not tell whether it was because of his superb skills or because the maid was greedy for his pension. In short, in a short period of time, he had aroused the maid who claimed to be chaste.

As soon as there was a hint of something going on, Chen Yao invited them to a dinner party with great fanfare, and was looking forward to the romantic and moonlit night that was to follow.

After all, although this maid was much inferior to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in appearance, she was already up to Chen Yao's standard in appearance, and had a gentle and well-behaved personality, which was many times better than those two crazy women.

Chen Yao estimated that he would probably stay in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for quite some time, so naturally he didn't mind developing a wonderful relationship with them.

However, on the other side, looking at the two people flirting with each other, Ning Rongrong was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Chen Yao remembered that there were two other people at the dinner table, and suddenly realized.

"Oh, this is Xiao Meijuan, you probably don't know her. She's the new maid that your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has recently added. Just eat your own food and don't worry about us."

Chen Yao waved his hands impatiently at Ning Rongrong and the others, then picked up the wine glass that Xiao Meijuan had filled earlier, drank it all, and then, with a sly smile, his hands began to wander wantonly over that graceful body.

This caused Xiao Meijuan to grumble and she couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, Brother Yao, the young lady is still watching me. What should I do in the future?"

A lewd smile appeared on Chen Yao's wretched and wrinkled face.

"Haha, don't worry, Rongrong is a sensible child and won't say anything nonsense."

As Chen Yao spoke, he picked up a glass filled with fine wine and, with the maid's half-hearted consent, poured it into her mouth. The wine stains from the corners of her mouth flowed down her smooth neck, making Chen Yao's throat roll.

Looking at Chen Yao who looked as if he was alone, the words Ning Rongrong wanted to say suddenly stopped at her lips. She felt furious, but she didn't know how to deal with it. She could only fiddle with the food in front of her in a depressed mood.

Beside Ning Rongrong, Gu Yuena's face turned completely black. The fists hidden under the table were clenched and trembling slightly. For some reason, when she saw the scene in front of her, an inexplicable murderous intent surged in her heart, making her want to rush up and kill someone!
She didn't know where this murderous intent came from, but her reason made her suppress this inexplicable impulse.

"Hmph, stinky godfather, still the same as before!"

Ning Rongrong's mutter at this moment startled Gu Yuena, who was suppressing her murderous intent. She then looked at Ning Rongrong and asked.

"Same as before? What do you mean?"

Now, because of the contact with Gu Yuena during these days, the relationship between the two is no longer as unfamiliar as it was the first time.

Ning Rongrong snorted when she heard this and explained angrily.

"Although my memory is a little fuzzy, I still remember that when I was three years old, my adoptive father was accompanied by three super beautiful older sisters! I don't know where the three older sisters went. Did they get abandoned by my adoptive father? What a bad man!"

"Three. Beautiful sisters?"

Gu Yuena was stunned again when she heard that. Her face had become very stiff and she made a sound with twitching mouth. Her clenched fists had unconsciously pierced deeply into her palms because she used too much force!
