I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Let's go back one hour.

Wang Dong'er, who had been sleeping soundly, finally opened her eyes. She was a little groggy when she woke up, feeling as if she had been sleepwalking. Although she had just woken up, her body felt extremely tired.

After some thought, Wang Dong'er quickly remembered what had just happened.

She had tried to pick the acacia blossom before, but failed because her heart was not firm enough.

At the very moment of her defeat, an external consciousness emerged from the Acacia Heartbreak Red and attempted to invade her spiritual sea.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong'er quickly checked her mental sea and then found the foreign consciousness.

After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable with a time bomb that could take over their body at any moment.

However, no matter how Wang Dong'er searched, she could not find anything unusual in her spiritual sea, as if that consciousness had never existed.

Just as Wang Dong'er thought that the consciousness had used a unique method to hide itself, a calm voice rang in her ears: "You don't need to worry about that foreign consciousness. The talisman that Xiao Xingyu gave you has dealt with it."

Gu Yuena was leaning against a large tree, playing with the necklace with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl that Xu Xingyu had given to Wang Dong'er.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and Gu Yuena didn't have a very good relationship, given the other party's strength, she had no reason to deceive her.

At the same time, I felt a little happier. Xu Xingyu actually cared about me so much that she gave me such a precious treasure as a talisman!

However, at this moment, Wang Dong'er thought of the fact that she had failed to pick the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, and her mood worsened again.

Wang Dong'er took out her storage ring and began rummaging through its contents. Soon, she found what she wanted.

It was a white peony flower, its stem entwined around a piece of black stone.

Looking at the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red in her hand, Wang Dong'er's face turned bitter, because this meant that she really had not gained the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red's approval!

Wang Dong'er's love for Xu Xingyu was not recognized by the infatuated flower, the Acacia Heartbreak Red!

Xu Xingyu clearly cares about me, even giving me such a valuable gift for self-defense, but I can't guarantee the steadfastness of my love for him.

Am I unworthy of love?

Just as Wang Dong'er was still feeling sorry for herself for failing the test of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, Gu Yuena spoke up: "The reason you failed the test of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is because you failed to truly understand your own feelings, which caused your love to be mixed with some impure things."

This infuriated Wang Dong'er, who turned around and shouted, "What do you mean I failed to recognize my own feelings? I'm Xingyu's fiancée, after all! Just because you passed that test doesn't give you the right to boss me around!"

Actually, Wang Dong'er wasn't very confident when she said those words.

After all, the other party was Xu Xingyu's first love, and Gu Yuena spent much more time with Xu Xingyu than she did. However, she couldn't let go of her pride and didn't want to admit that she was inferior to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was also annoyed after hearing Wang Dong'er's words, but considering that the other party was just a newcomer, she immediately felt much better and began to speak in a senior's tone:

"It's because of your character that you failed the test of the Acacia Heartbreak Red. If you were willing to listen to other people's opinions, you might understand why you failed."

"you!!!!"

It was obvious that Wang Dong'er was extremely unhappy with Gu Yuena's attitude as the legal wife, but upon closer examination, she realized that what Gu Yuena said made some sense.

Therefore, Wang Dong'er chose to listen to the other party's opinion and learn from it her own shortcomings.

This is actually a classic case of me using what you taught me to poach your employees!

Gu Yuena responded, "Just say you want me to help."

Faced with Gu Yuena's mocking attitude, Wang Dong'er could only swallow her anger and ask, "May I ask, beautiful and noble Miss Gu Yuena, what exactly is wrong with me? What factors prevented me from passing the Acacia Heartbreak Red test?"

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction and began to speak: "Before that, I'd like to ask you, why did you fall in love with Xu Xingyu?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er began to recall the time she spent with Xu Xingyu. The two first met when their Haotian Sect was forced to submit to the Qiling Tower.

At the time, they were betrayed by a father they had never met, because the other party needed a guarantee to ensure that the Haotian Sect would not rebel at the last minute, and they were forced into an involuntary marriage with Xu Xingyu.

This led to the two of them not having a very good impression of each other when they first met.

The two truly began to care about each other when Wang Dong'er accidentally entered the Soul Realm and was then controlled by something left behind by her father. She then attempted to destroy the Soul Realm, causing heavy losses to the Spirit Pagoda.

It was Xu Xingyu who helped him break free from his father's control and awakened the power deep within his bloodline, allowing his martial soul to evolve into the Vast Ocean Light God Butterfly and the Killing God Haotian Hammer.

It was from that time that Wang Dong'er began to take a liking to Xu Xingyu. As the two got to know each other better, Wang Dong'er gradually came to understand what kind of person this boy named Xu Xingyu was.

From Wang Dong'er's perspective, Xu Xingyu is a genius who transcends centuries. He not only possesses rare talent in cultivation, but he can also manage the Spirit Pagoda, a super power spanning four great empires, all by himself.

At the same time, he is also a genius in the field of soul tools. Perhaps he only came up with an idea for many things, but it is rare to be able to come up with such imaginative ideas.

Regarding soul contracts, Wang Dong'er can guarantee that without Xu Xingyu, the entire Spirit Contract Tower would never have reached its current level of research on soul contracts.

Because a simple soul contract cannot bring true peace between humans and soul beasts, it is the constraints and benefits that Xu Xingyu added to the soul contract that enable humans and soul beasts to have a future where they can advance and retreat together.

But this also made Wang Dong'er feel that the other party was living a very tiring life. She had seen Xu Xingyu fall asleep on her desk due to overwork countless times.

Witnessing Xu Xingyu's ongoing struggle against the conflict between humans and soul beasts, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel a desire to help her and alleviate her pressure.

It was at that moment that Wang Dong'er realized she seemed to have fallen in love with her fiancé, and secretly vowed to free him from that unbearable burden of responsibility.

This is why Wang Dong'er is so hostile towards Gu Yuena, because in Wang Dong'er's heart, Gu Yuena is the source of Xu Xingyu's burden.
