Douluo Dragon King: The Twin Dragons of Time and Space, Mistaken for Dragon God

A moment of silence fell over the ward. Gu Yue, remembering the important matter, spoke up:

"You said before that you were the disciple of the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, is that true?" she asked.

Chu Nan nodded: "Yes, Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, is my master. What, you want to become her disciple?"

Gu Yue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up: "Could you introduce me to her? I'd like to become her disciple."

Chu Nan was taken aback: "Why?"

Gu Yue had already prepared her reason: "The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo has top-notch elemental skills, and my martial soul is that of an elementalist, so I need her guidance." She paused, then added, "If you help me with the introduction, I can grant you one request—anything within my capabilities."

She was actually a little nervous as she said this. The book said that one should be sincere when asking for help; would the Dragon God grant her request?

Chu Nan was overjoyed—this girl had actually come to him of her own accord.

His eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile crept across his lips: "Any conditions are fine?"

Gu Yue nodded, her tone serious: "Anything within my capabilities is fine."

Chu Nan leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Really...anything is fine?"

Gu Yue's face flushed red to her ears, but she bit her lip and nodded firmly.

My heart was pounding: What does the Dragon God mean? Could it be...?

Looking at her expression, Chu Nan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fine, I agree. But whether it works out or not depends on my master; whether she accepts you or not isn't up to me."

Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up: "Thank you!"

Chu Nan waved his hand, "No need to thank me." He deliberately dragged out his words, "But—if you really succeed in becoming my disciple, we'll be senior and junior brothers and sisters. Junior Sister Gu Yue, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Yue was taken aback, but she was actually very happy inside—this way she could stay by the Dragon God's side legitimately.

But she remained calm, trying her best to maintain her aloof persona: "I don't have any particular feelings. It's an honor to be able to become the disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo."

Chu Nan raised an eyebrow: "That's it? Call me 'Senior Brother' then?"

Gu Yue's ears turned bright red, as if they were about to bleed. She turned her head away and said, "Not yet. We'll call you that after I've successfully become your disciple."

Chu Nan persisted, "It'll be the same sooner or later. With your talent and my recommendation, Master will definitely accept you. Calling you 'Senior Brother' won't be a loss."

Gu Yue lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her face already flushed.

She bit her lip, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz: "...Senior brother."

Chu Nan grinned, his smile as bright as a fool's: "Hey! Say it again?"

Gu Yue suddenly looked up, her purple eyes glaring at him, a mixture of embarrassment and anger in her eyes: "Don't push your luck!"

Chu Nan laughed loudly, but the laughter was so intense that it aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace and gasp for breath in pain.

Gu Yue quickly helped him up, her voice tinged with anxiety: "Honestly, I told you not to mess around!"

Chu Nan covered his wound, waved his hand, and smiled.

Gu Yue sighed helplessly as she looked at his unserious behavior.

But a hint of tenderness flashed across her eyes.

Senior brother... that's a pretty good way to address you.

Gu Yue looked at Chu Nan, pondering the matter of becoming his disciple. Leng Yaozhu was the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, a Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, a level 98 Title Douluo, whose strength and status were impeccable. If she could become her disciple, she would not only gain the privileges of the Spirit Pagoda, but also rightfully stay by the Dragon God's side.

Chu Nan leaned against the headboard, thinking to himself, "In the original story, Gu Yue became Sister Leng's disciple, so this isn't wrong. But why is she so eager? Could it be because of me? Well, it's me again, the butterfly flapping its wings."

He glanced at Gu Yue, their eyes meeting. They stared at each other for a moment, neither speaking. The ward fell silent, save for the slow, steady beeping of the heart monitor.

Just as they were in silence, the door was pushed open from the outside—speak of the devil, and he appears.

"Buzz—" The ward door was gently pushed open, and a figure in red walked in.

Leng Yaozhu was dressed in a long red dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. Her face was expressionless, but when her eyes swept across the ward, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop by two degrees—not the icy coldness of Wu Changkong, but the kind of coldness that said, "I'm very unhappy, you'd better not mess with me."

Li Fugui followed behind her, head down and back bent, looking like a little bird being watched by an eagle, not daring to breathe.

Leng Yaozhu spotted Chu Nan on the hospital bed at a glance, walked over quickly, and frowned: "You child, how did you get so hurt?"

Chu Nan grinned, his face still a little pale, but his spirits were good: "Sister Leng, I'm fine, I'm doing great."

Leng Yaozhu ignored his banter, looked him over carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming he was alright. She turned to look out the window, her tone turning colder: "Those evil spirit masters… dared to touch my people. Looks like they think my Spirit Pagoda is easy to bully?"

Chu Nan quickly grabbed her sleeve and said with a grin, "Sister Leng, calm down. Women who get angry easily are prone to wrinkles. You're the beauty icon of our Spirit Pagoda, you can't afford to get disfigured."

Leng Yaozhu glared at him, but the corners of her mouth clearly curled up, indicating that she was quite pleased.

Standing at the door, Li Fugui turned pale with fright upon hearing this. He quietly took a step back, then another, and then slammed the door shut and slipped away with lightning speed, his mind racing: "How could I possibly listen to these things? Oh no, what if the deputy tower master finds out about this gossip and I get silenced...?"

In the ward, Gu Yue stood by the bedside the whole time, her gaze never leaving Leng Yaozhu from the moment she entered. This was the Dragon God's master? But the Dragon God called her "Sister Leng" so naturally... She bit her lip, feeling a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

Leng Yaozhu noticed Gu Yue: "And who is this?"

Chu Nan quickly introduced, "Sister Leng, this is Gu Yue, my classmate. She wants to become your apprentice!"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You're the genius who recently joined the reclusive family of the Spirit Pagoda?"

Gu Yue nodded: "Yes."

Leng Yaozhu sized her up: "Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Gu Yue calmly said, "Senior, your mastery of elements is top-notch. My martial soul is that of an elementalist, and I need your guidance."

Chu Nan chimed in, "Sister Leng, Gu Yue's talent is no less than mine. She's an elementalist with two purple soul rings. You definitely won't lose out by taking her in!"

Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow: "You actually speak well of others? Looks like your relationship is more than just ordinary."

Chu Nan scratched his head awkwardly: "No way... just an ordinary classmate."

Leng Yaozhu's lips curled up as she looked at Gu Yue: "Fine, I can take you in. But I'll have to see what you're capable of first."

Gu Yue took two steps back and released his martial spirit—two purple soul rings rose up, surrounded by the four elements of wind, fire, ice, and earth.

Leng Yaozhu's eyes lit up: "Two thousand-year soul rings, extremely strong elemental affinity... a promising talent. From today onwards, you are my second disciple."

Chu Nan immediately interjected, "Gu Yue, quickly call him Senior Brother!"

Gu Yue blushed, lowered her head, and whispered, "...Senior Brother."

"Yes!" Chu Nan responded loudly.

Leng Yaozhu slapped Chu Nan on the back of the head: "Don't you dare bully your junior sister."

Chu Nan said, feeling wronged, "No, I'm just trying to strengthen our relationship."

Leng Yaozhu ignored him, took out the token and storage soul tool, and handed them to Gu Yue: "This is my token, the treatment of a core disciple. It contains cultivation resources and medicinal herbs."

Gu Yue accepted it: "Thank you, Master."

Leng Yaozhu turned to Chu Nan: "You two, come back to headquarters with me. It's too dangerous here."

Chu Nan immediately objected: "No way! Donghai City is so much better, it has seafood, there's Class Zero, and I still want to participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition!"

Leng Yaozhu frowned: "Your injury hasn't healed yet."

"It's fine as long as the injury heals!" Chu Nan started to act spoiled. "I made an appointment with my classmates to train together, I can't stand them up!" Well, actually, he just didn't want to go back to being locked up for training.

Leng Yaozhu looked at him without saying a word. Chu Nan muttered guiltily, "Besides, my Heavenly Phoenix Necklace is broken..."

Leng Yaozhu was both amused and annoyed: "I knew you wouldn't be honest. Fine, you can stay, but you must guarantee your safety." She then looked at Gu Yue, "You stay too, and take care of him."

Gu Yue nodded: "Yes, Master."

Leng Yaozhu then looked at Chu Nan, her tone threatening: "Have good rest and recover from your injuries. Don't bully Gu Yue. You must break through to level 45 before the academy's holiday, or I'll personally drag you back for seclusion."

Chu Nan wailed, "Sister Leng, you're killing me! There are only three months left until vacation! Level 45? Do you think I'm on a rocket?"

Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly, closed the door, and left.

The ward fell silent. Gu Yue stared at the things in her hands, her mind a jumble of emotions. Chu Nan slumped on the bed: "Damn it, level 45, is this going to kill me? I was just trying to relax..."

Gu Yue said softly, "I will help you."

Chu Nan turned to look at her, paused for a moment, then grinned, "It's a deal then, junior sister. If I can't roll it anymore, you'll have to give me a hand."

Gu Yue blushed again, but did not refute, only nodded slightly.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the two people. One lay there pretending to be dead, the other sat lost in thought. The heart monitor continued to beep, as if counting something for them.

Chu Nan closed his eyes, silently calculating in his mind: "After this incident, the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely not let it go. It seems I have to be careful in the future. Sigh, what a miserable life."
