Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

"you……"

Gu Yue's chest heaved with anger at Su Mo's words, and her knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists under the table.

However, despite her anger, Gu Yue knew that there were significant flaws in her explanation.

But she couldn't possibly tell Su Mo the whole story.

The fact that I was able to tell Su Mo all this was already because she was in a good mood just now.

Seeing that Gu Yue remained silent, Su Mo assumed that Gu Yue was feeling guilty and quickly pressed his advantage.

"See? Even you know that this reason is completely illogical."

"Otherwise, you would have jumped out to refute it long ago."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Su Mo, Gu Yue was too lazy to waste any more words. She crossed her arms, snorted coldly, and said, "Believe it or not, that's the truth."

"Since Gu Yue is unwilling to tell me, I won't force her."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he pushed his chair back, stood up, and strode outside.

It wasn't until Su Mo's figure stepped out of the store and disappeared into the crowd that Gu Yue belatedly realized that she seemed to have been taken advantage of by Su Mo.

"asshole……"

Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said angrily.

However, Gu Yue did not get up to chase after Su Mo, since Su Mo was in Donghai Academy and couldn't escape anyway.

Instead of letting her grief turn into food, Gu Yue immediately took out her soul communication device and ordered a large quantity of desserts.

Since deciding to give up the bet with Na'er and stop revolving around Tang Wulin, Gu Yue finally had time to move around freely.

In order to find out why Na'er was willing to give up her duties and mission as the ruler of the soul beasts for a human, Gu Yue began to try to experience human society like a normal person.

Although she had gone out to play with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie before.

At that time, all she could think about was winning the bet with Na'er, and she just watched everything around her with indifference.

While Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were laughing heartily at what was happening around them, she stood outside the crowd as if she were inside a transparent barrier, as if all the noise and bustle had nothing to do with her.

But now that she's starting to learn to queue like an ordinary person at crowded food stalls, chat with strangers, participate in all sorts of entertainment activities, and even cheer and shout like everyone else in the Soul Arena.

That unprecedented and novel experience stirred a strange flutter in Gu Yue's heart.

Gu Yue finally understood why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had rushed to the human world without hesitation after obtaining Huo Yuhao's memories.

And now I finally understand why Na'er could completely forget her identity and mission as the ruler of the soul beasts after only living in human society for a few years.

Compared to the lifeless and monotonous Star Dou Great Forest, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the vibrant human world is like a completely different world.

Here you'll find the lively atmosphere of everyday life, the intertwining of emotions, and the warmth that, even in the smallest things, can touch your heartstrings—all things you can't experience in the Starry Forest.

Even her main personality, the Silver Dragon King, was being gradually eroded by the comfortable and wonderful life in the human world without her realizing it.

……

After leaving the dessert shop, Su Mo wandered around outside for a while before slowly making her way back to her residence.

Just as Su Mo was about to reach her doorstep, four men in black suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Who are you...?"

Seeing the black-clad man suddenly appear and block his way, Su Mo's face flashed with a hint of doubt. He didn't remember ever provoking anyone in Donghai City.

"Young Master Su Mo, our master wishes to meet with you."

Upon seeing Su Mo, the leader of the men in black spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo pondered for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you from the Xu family?"

Although the four men in black before them had varying levels of cultivation, they were all genuine Soul Kings.

Aside from Xu Xiaoyan's family, Su Mo couldn't think of anyone else in this small Donghai City who could have such influence.

Although Donghai City is one of the eighteen first-tier cities in the Sun and Moon Federation, this is only in terms of economics.

In terms of both quantity and quality of Soul Masters, any second-tier city in the central region could easily crush Donghai City.

"Yes!"

The leader of the men in black nodded expressionlessly, then bent down and gestured for Su Mo to proceed.

Seeing this, Su Mo got into the soul-guided car parked to the side without any hesitation. He was also very curious about what the Xu family's purpose was in looking for him.

As the soul-guided car slowly started and drove smoothly towards the suburbs, Su Mo, sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes to rest.

On the way to the Xu family, Su Mo secretly recalled information about the Xu family in his mind.

If I remember correctly, the current head of the Xu family is named Xu Dayan, who is Xu Xiaoyan's father, and his cultivation level is roughly at the Soul Douluo level.

The strongest member of the Xu family should be the previous patriarch, Xu Dayan's father, and Xu Xiaoyan's grandfather, Xu Xiu.

Back when Xu Xiu hadn't yet retired, he had already cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, making him the undisputed number one powerhouse in Donghai City.

Now, thirty years have passed, and Xu Xiu's cultivation level is probably even higher than it was back then. It's not impossible for him to break through to Super Douluo.

And if I'm not mistaken, the person looking for me should be Xu Xiu.

The reason for this should be related to my chance encounter with Wu Siduo this morning.

"Let's meet first, no matter what."

Su Mo didn't mind giving the Xu and Wu families a little push to help them restore their kingdom.

The more chaotic the situation in Douluo Continent, the more advantageous it will be for him.

With that thought in mind, Su Mo stopped thinking about it and entered a meditative state.

After about half an hour, the Soul Guided Car slowly came to a stop in front of an ancient yet solemn mansion.

The mansion is surrounded by high walls, and the red tiles and white walls gleam with a calm luster in the sunlight.

The courtyard is filled with neatly trimmed green plants, and the stone path is laid out in an orderly manner, exuding a faint fragrance.

The leader of the men in black got out of the car and respectfully opened the car door for Su Mo, bowing and gesturing "please" before quickly walking towards the gate of the mansion to inform the people inside.

Su Mo pushed open the car door and got out, looking up at the scene before her.

The Xu family mansion, though not luxurious in the entire Donghai City, exudes a restrained sense of historical weight.

Hidden among the high walls, several ancient pine trees stand tall and vigorous, their gnarled branches seemingly telling tales of the passage of time.

The mansion's main gate, with its tall doors, gleamed with a calm luster in the sunlight. The guards at the entrance exuded a solemn air, their gazes sharp yet polite.

The servants moved about in the courtyard in an orderly fashion, their steps light yet quiet, every movement revealing the family's strict discipline and the etiquette they had been taught since childhood.

The stone-paved path extends into the depths, passing through an archway, where the outline of the main hall with its carved beams and painted rafters can be vaguely seen.

"This is the Xu family of Donghai..."

Su Mo's thoughts raced, and she stepped inside unhurriedly.

As the ancient, weathered wooden gate slowly opened from the inside out, the Xu family members, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, were already inside.

At the front of the crowd, Xu Xiaoyan and his brother Xu Xiaoyu stood on either side of a middle-aged couple.

Su Mo looked around but didn't see Wu Siduo.

"Su Mo!!!"

Upon seeing Su Mo arrive, Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing at the front of the crowd, immediately stood on tiptoe and excitedly waved to Su Mo.

If it weren't for her family being there, Su Mo estimated that Xu Xiaoyan would have rushed up immediately.

Seeing his younger sister acting like a lovesick fool, without any of the modesty expected of a girl, Xu Xiaoyu's face darkened.
