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

After listening to Wang Dong'er's description of her relationship with Xu Xingyu, Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh and say, "So in your eyes, I'm just a symbol of Xu Xingyu's responsibility?"

"Isn't that right? If it weren't for you, would Xingyu really need the Spirit Pagoda and peace between humans and beasts?" Wang Dong'er frowned and crossed her arms tightly, saying, "With his personal talent, wouldn't he be able to live freely anywhere?"

Gu Yuena asked dismissively, "So, you think you aren't?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment before saying, "What do you mean? When did I ask Xingyu to do something for me?"

Gu Yuena held the necklace that Xu Xingyu had given to Wang Dong'er, toying with the magic pearl on it, and said, "Do you really think that Xingyu helping you out of your father's influence is no big deal?"

"You should know that your so-called father is no ordinary person. Even now, if I were to fight him one-on-one, I would have virtually no chance of winning."

This made Wang Dong'er's eyes widen. Judging from Gu Yuena's methods in dealing with the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, her strength had long surpassed that of her two fathers, who were Limit Douluo.

It's even possible that he has reached the legendary level of becoming a god, yet even such a being cannot defeat his biological father whom he has never met.

A question that had once lingered in Wang Dong'er's mind resurfaced: Who exactly is my father?

At the same time, a deep sense of fear began to well up in Wang Dong'er's heart: if her father was really that powerful, would she be controlled by him for the rest of her life and become just a pawn in his game?

Gu Yuena, seeing the fear filling Wang Dong'er's eyes, knew what she was thinking and continued to press, "Now that you know, you should understand how much pressure Xingyu endured to protect you!"

Yes, her father is so powerful and has such a strong desire for control. Xingyu must have put in a lot of effort to ensure that she would not be controlled by him again.

Thinking of the necklace that had helped her expel the consciousness from her father, Wang Dong'er knew just how magical and powerful that necklace was.

Items of this caliber must have been hard to come by, and Xu Xingyu didn't keep this treasure, which could restrain her father, for him alone; instead, she gave it to her.

It seems that he has unknowingly put pressure on the other party that is no less than that that Gu Yuena put on the other party, without even realizing it.

He clearly wanted to free Xu Xingyu from those so-called responsibilities, but ironically, he himself became one of her biggest shackles.

Gu Yuena then seemed to be trying to comfort the other party and said, "Indeed, even without your involvement, Xiao Xingyu would inevitably be at odds with your father, since Xiao Xingyu's very existence has already infringed upon his interests."

"That's why he gave you to our Spirit Pagoda. On the surface, he wanted to give us a bargaining chip, but in reality, he wanted to use you to cultivate a relationship with Xiao Xingyu and then turn Xiao Xingyu into his own exclusive puppet."

"Unfortunately, he seems to have underestimated Xiao Xingyu's understanding of him. He saw through your father's scheme long ago and even disposed of that wisp of divine consciousness in your body."

"Even though he could completely disregard your life, death, and fate, he's still willing to develop a relationship with you and help you find yourself. Why do you think that is?"

To this, Wang Dong'er could only ask tremblingly, "Why?"

"This is because he couldn't bear to see a girl your age become a puppet. After all, children your age should be pursuing their dreams and growing up happily every day, not living as a pawn."

"For this reason, he is willing to help you, his fiancée who was forced into this situation, and to be your support, helping you bear the pressure from your father."

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly said, as if changing the subject, "Actually, in some ways, you and I are quite similar. Just being with either of us would inevitably put that person under unimaginable pressure."

"However, our biggest difference is that we handle things differently. I am willing to walk side by side with Xu Xingyu on that thorny road, but you have become a woman who only knows how to rely on Xu Xingyu, and you always resort to coquetry when something happens."

Wang Dong'er wanted to refute Gu Yuena's words, but she knew that what the other party said was actually the correct argument. She had indeed relied too much on Xu Xingyu many times.

Gradually, Wang Dong'er seemed to realize why the Acacia Heartbreak Red did not acknowledge her determination, and why Gu Yuena viewed her love as one-sided.

She never truly understood how much pressure Xu Xingyu had endured for her sake, and how she herself had done nothing for her.

Instead, they live their lives carefree like a vase, arrogantly believing that they can relieve the other person of those crushing responsibilities.

At this moment, Gu Yuena's voice appeared in Wang Dong'er's ears again: "Xiao Xingyu is the kind of person who, once he decides on something, will see it through to the end. Now he is willing to shoulder all the burdens and responsibilities, so are you prepared to walk alongside him?"

Faced with Gu Yuena's question, Wang Dong'er did not reply immediately, but stepped forward to take the necklace that Gu Yuena was playing with.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena simply let the other party take it, after all, it was a gift from Xu Xingyu.

Looking at the sea-blue Dinghai Pearl, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but recall the happy days she spent with Xu Xingyu, and silently made up her mind.

Wang Dong'er slowly said, "I don't know if I can become Xu Xingyu's strength, but I am willing to follow in his footsteps and become a woman who can walk alongside him in the process."

"Perhaps I am being presumptuous by saying this, because I don't know much about my father or the enemies that Xu Xingyu will face in the future, but I am willing to spend time learning about these things."

Wang Dong'er extended her hand and continued, "So, Gu Yuena, are you willing to become my sister, support Xu Xingyu, and share her burdens?"

Gu Yuena didn't immediately take the other person's hand. Instead, she said in a slightly teasing tone, "Can I take this as you completely acknowledging that I am Xu Xingyu's legal wife?"

To Gu Yuena's slight surprise, Wang Dong'er nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I don't have that right now, but you already hold the most important place in Xingyu's heart, so it's only right that you be the legal wife."

Before Gu Yuena could ask if she was feeling unwell, Wang Dong'er continued, "But during this time, I'll learn from you how to be a good lover, so don't blame me if I succeed in usurping your position someday. After all, love is a war."

Hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Gu Yuena felt relieved. The other party hadn't lost her mind; she had simply matured a bit.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena also stretched out her hand and said, "Try if you want, but let me tell you I won't lose to you. I will firmly hold onto the throne of the legal wife."

"Then I'll wait and see."

After they finished speaking, the two held each other's hands, and a beautiful sisterly bond was reborn.

Two women who initially disliked each other and were vying for the same man became sisters in order to help him.

Whether this sisterly bond is as beautiful as it appears on the surface is another matter entirely.

This is also the truth behind why Xu Xingyu saw the two suddenly becoming as close as best friends.
