Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 69 Love is Home
As for Lin Ci, he tried to close his eyes and rest again, but the cool aura emitted by Gu Yue beside him made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

Gu Yue remained silent, just sitting there quietly, like an iceberg.

Lin Ci couldn't help but secretly glance at her, but happened to meet Gu Yue's cold eyes. Then he looked away as if nothing had happened, wondering in his heart: "I didn't provoke her, why does it seem like she's in a bad mood today?"

Is it possible that dragons also have relatives visiting them?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he gave up thinking about it. Lin Ci yawned loudly and leaned against the window to rest for a while.

Gu Yue looked at the young man beside him sleeping with his eyes closed. For some reason, he suddenly felt much more at ease.

She was under immense pressure; the future of the soul beast and the bet with Na'er forced her to continue acting. But sometimes she just couldn't help herself.

Looking at the familiar eyes and eyebrows of the young man next to him, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He was really just like the guy who was lying in front of his body and sleeping soundly ten thousand years ago.

The soul-guided bus they were riding was incredibly fast, especially on the soul-guided highway. Using magnetic levitation technology and soul-guided highways, the soul-guided highways could greatly increase the speed of soul-guided buses, reaching a maximum speed of half that of soul-guided trains. For shorter distances, it was more convenient than soul-guided trains. However, the distance between Donghai City and Tianhai City wasn't particularly close; it took them four hours to reach Tianhai City.

Tianhai City, the largest city on the East China Sea coast.

Like East Sea City, Tianhai City was adjacent to the sea, and its location was even better, boasting the continent's largest port and docks. The Federation Navy was stationed just outside Tianhai City, and in the distance, massive warships could be vaguely seen anchored in the ocean.

The East China Sea Fleet is stationed here year-round, spending most of their time guarding the area unless on a mission. It's precisely because of this strong military presence that Tianhai City has become the largest city on the East Coast, holding a significant position on the mainland, rivaling even the larger inland cities.

For spirit masters, military service is not compulsory. However, if the spirit masters from Tianhai City are interested, their first choice is to come here and join the navy.

Although one does not have to be a soul master to join the modern army, there is no doubt that soul masters definitely have a good development prospect in the army.

This was an official competition, so there was no need to book a hotel. Tianhai City was naturally wealthy, so the contestants checked into a luxurious hotel.

The hotel is very unique, half of the building is in the sea, and every room can see the sea, giving people a feeling of embracing the sea.

Two people shared a room. The two women, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan, shared a room. Lin Ci shared a room with Tang Wulin. As for Xie Xie, he was moved to share a room with Wu Zhangkong.

They arrived at Tianhai City a day in advance, so the official opening ceremony and draw ceremony would begin the next day, followed by the competition.

After all, it's been a tiring day, so they could use a little rest.

Tianhai City, nestled near the sea, was especially beautiful at night. Moonlight shattered into silver scales on the waves. Gu Yue stood before the French window, the salty sea breeze brushing through her hair. The sound of water dripping could be heard from the bathroom; Xu Xiaoyan was humming a song while showering. Gu Yue tapped the glass with her fingertips, and a barely perceptible silver ripple pierced the bulletproof glass, transforming into a stream of light in the night and falling to the sea.

She looked far away at the warships on the seashore, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

It is precisely because of this unique creative ability of humans that the soul guide technology developed has caused soul beasts to fall to their current state.

"Soul Guided Cannonballs..."

Gu Yue pondered for a while, and her thoughtful look suddenly changed. She stared blankly at a familiar figure on the beach next to the hotel.

After a while, when Xu Xiaoyan came out of the bathroom, he looked at the empty room with a big puzzle in his little head.

"Where's Sister Gu Yue?"

Tang Wulin was called out because of the forging matter, so Lin Ci came to the beach next to the hotel alone to enjoy the night breeze.

He was dressed in the simple blue uniform of Donghai Academy, the sea breeze ruffling his short hair. He put his hands in his pockets, gazing quietly at the shimmering sea. The moonlight cast a soft silver edge on his body.

If we calculate according to the timeline here, he should be able to leave here within twenty years at most.

I can go home now. I feel the soul power flowing through my body, which is something that cannot be touched in the original world.

Are you greedy for power?
Of course, he had thought about that too. When he first attacked, he also thought about living with the one he loved forever. He also wanted to have power and absolute power that ordinary people did not have.

But then he realized that the person who truly loved him was still waiting there. He should go back. The more quests he completed, the more tired he felt, and the more disgusted he became with this world filled with soul power.

He was like a sailboat in the ocean, struggling to support itself, yet someone was anxiously waiting on the shore, holding a faint firefly light. The more difficult it was, the more he would struggle, for he would eventually reach shore.

Just like the vast and beautiful sea, it makes people yearn for it, but he is not a fish...

At this moment, a soft sound of footsteps came from behind him. Lin Ci turned around subconsciously and saw Gu Yue coming up behind him without him noticing.

The girl wasn't wearing a school uniform, just a plain white dress, likely something she wore to bed. Even so, the slight breeze twirling her long black hair gave her not-quite-beautiful face a unique beauty. A faint aura seemed to emanate from her.

"Why are you here?" Lin Ci was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gu Yue to appear here.

Gu Yue didn't answer immediately. She quietly walked to Lin Ci's side and looked out to sea with him. After a long moment, she whispered, "Come out for some fresh air."

At this time, Gu Yue surprisingly no longer had the cold feeling she had during the day. Instead, she exuded a very friendly and soft feeling all over her body.

Even though Gu Yue had been with everyone in Class Zero for so long, she had always felt a slight sense of alienation from them. This gentle feeling was the first time Lin Ci had experienced it, especially since it formed a stark contrast to the coldness of the day.

This feeling made him feel much more comfortable.

Lin Ci nodded slightly, and the two of them fell into a brief silence. The sea breeze continued to blow between them, and the sound of the waves seemed to drown out all unnecessary sounds.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yue broke the silence first, turned to look at Lin Ci, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She should have known better than to have too much contact with Lin Ci at this stage. But sometimes she just couldn't help herself, especially when there was no one else around. She always had a lucky feeling.

"I miss home." Lin Ci did not make up a reason. After all, missing home can never be replaced by an excuse.

Everyone has a home, big or small, full of quarrels and conflicts, but it is still your home.

"Family?"

Gu Yue, the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, seemed to not understand this word. She was born half a dragon god and had no concept of home.

If she had to choose, then it would only be the Great Star Forest. But to her, that forest was more like a place to carry out her mission than a warm home in the true sense.

Lin Ci looked at the confusion in Gu Yue's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then realized something.

The young man laughed, waved his hand, and walked back.

"Gu Yue, actually, being with the one you love is called home..."

The boy's voice wasn't loud beneath the waves at night, but Gu Yue heard it clearly. She stared blankly at the boy as he walked away.

After a long moment, the girl lowered her head and murmured, "Is being with the one you love also called home?"
