Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 66 The Promise with Gretchen

"So what? That's the realm of gods! Not to mention the Asura God, you can't beat any of the big or small first-level or second-level gods!" Di Tian said.

"Don't worry about that. Just provide the soul bone. I will do what I promised." Lang Lei didn't explain much more.

"Okay, I believe you." Gu Yuena nodded.

Seeing that Gu Yuena had spoken, Di Tian said nothing more.

"Hmm, you won't be disappointed by the trust you have today."

"I hope so. If you can really bring the Golden Dragon King back, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to become your other half," Gu Yuena said calmly.

This startled Di Tian and Lang Lei.

However, if Lang Lei really succeeds, and Gu Yuena is willing, Di Tian can't really say anything.

But Lang Lei panicked.

"Brother Lang Lei, what does it mean to become your other half?" Little Gretchen looked at Lang Lei.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?!

Lang Lei roared at Gu Yuena in his heart.

Gu Yuena smiled meaningfully, but didn't say anything. She just looked at Lang Lei quietly.

"Well... it means becoming partners, the other half, the other party in the cooperation, that's roughly the meaning," Lang Lei explained with a forced explanation.

"Brother Lang Lei is lying..." Little Gresh said expressionlessly, her little hands clutching Lang Lei's clothes tightly. "Brother Lang Lei lied to Gresh..."

"Um?!"

"I was wrong!" Lang Lei quickly admitted his mistake, so fast that Di Tian and Gu Yuena were stunned.

"Gresch isn't angry, she's just a little sad," little Gresch continued expressionlessly. "Brother Lang Lei lied to Gresch."

"I understand..." Lang Lei took a deep breath and secretly decided that when he had the chance, he would definitely pin Gu Yuena to the ground and beat her!

She was the one who admitted her mistake!

Gu Yuena, who was watching the commotion, suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and then she saw Lang Lei smiling at her with a sinister expression.

"..."

Gu Yuena turned her head away, pretending not to see.

Di Tian conscientiously regarded himself as a backdrop, merging his body into the darkness.

"Then, can you tell me, Brother Lang Lei?" Little Greta wrapped her arms around Lang Lei's neck, "What exactly does 'the other half' mean?"

"It means a Daoist partner..." Lang Lei changed his words and continued to struggle.

"A Daoist partner... I think I've seen that in Sister Hua's fantasy stories..." Little Greta said thoughtfully.

Hua! You too!

What did you show little Greta?!

You're destined to become the Crimson Iris Immortal!

"Then, Brother Lang Lei, what does 'Daoist partner' mean?"

"Um, this..."

Langley was stunned when he didn't expect Little Gretchen to ask such a question.

After a moment's thought, Lang Lei continued, "Little Gresh, a Daoist partner... is two people who accompany each other, rely on each other, cultivate together, progress together, face difficulties together, and have each other in their hearts."

Little Greta blinked her bright, expressive eyes, tilted her head, and asked, "Then, Brother Lang Lei, is he like we are now?"

Lang Lei quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, we are siblings, not Daoist couples, little Gretchen, this is different."

Little Gretchen's eyes dimmed instantly, and she pouted, "Why? Gretchen feels very happy being with Brother Lang Lei."

Lang Lei smiled helplessly: "Little Gretchen, you're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Hmph, Brother Lang Lei just doesn't want to talk to me about finding a partner." Little Gretchen turned her head away.

Just then, Gu Yuena saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh. "Lang Lei, you're in for a headache. I never expected you to be so patient with your sister!"

Lang Lei sighed helplessly and said, "Gu Yuena, you're making sarcastic remarks. It's all your fault for saying these things in front of little Gretchen..."

Under Di Tian's shocked gaze, Gu Yuena winked mischievously, "What's wrong with that? Letting Gretchen learn about these things early on might help her find a suitable Daoist partner in the future."

Lang Lei was stunned for a moment, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"My only Daoist partner is Brother Lang Lei," Little Gresh said earnestly.

"Huh?" Lang Lei was completely stunned and stared blankly at the little Gretchen in his arms.

If it was a past life...

He'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail...

Wait, isn't little Gretchen already an adult? He's the one who's still a minor, right? Even though little Gretchen always calls him "brother"...

Seeing Lang Lei and Little Gretchen's expressions, Gu Yuena couldn't help but giggle: "Look at you two, you look so funny."

Facing her "kindred spirits," Gu Yuena relaxed considerably.

Lang Lei snapped out of his daze and said to Gu Yuena with a serious expression, "Gu Yuena, you can't joke about things like this. It will disturb Gretsch's composure. She's more easily influenced than you think."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips, exuding charm: "I think Gretchen's simple mind isn't necessarily a bad thing."

At this moment, little Gretchen hugged Lang Lei's arm tightly, her calm little face showing an indescribable determination: "Brother Lang Lei, I'm telling you the truth. I want to be Brother Lang Lei's other half, I want to be Lang Lei's Daoist partner."

Lang Lei sighed helplessly, "Gresh, don't be like this. This kind of feeling isn't as simple as you think..."

"Does Lang Lei dislike Gretchen?"

"How could that be? Of course it's impossible, I swear!"

"Why not? I like Brother Lang Lei, and Brother Lang Lei likes Gretchen too."

"Forehead……"

"Is Brother Lang Lei overthinking things?"

Lang Lei put little Gretsch down on the ground, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said earnestly, "Little Gretsch, liking and loving are different, and different kinds of love will give rise to different feelings. If you confuse them, you will regret it."

"I don't regret it..."

Lang Lei was taken aback. He seemed to remember that little Gretchen would be easily influenced by others at this stage, right?

But why wasn't Gretchen affected by him after spending so much time with him?

Was it the influence of Gretchen as she grew up?

Has little Greta become much more determined as well?

"I understand..." Lang Lei nodded. "If you're still like this when you grow up, I'll agree to little Gretchen's request, okay?"

"Okay, Brother Lang Lei, you have to keep your word."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"I didn't expect you to not take the opportunity to agree?" Gu Yuena nodded. "You really have a different perspective on me."

"Can I make a second condition now?" Lang Lei didn't answer Gu Yuena's question, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

"I want you." Lang Lei pointed his finger at Gu Yuena.
