Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 403 Thank you, brother

Gu Yuena was confused; she didn't know what to do.

To be honest, since she split off, she hasn't really interacted with anyone, and her life experience is practically nonexistent.

The word "wisdom" is very abstract. Without sufficient experience to enrich one's knowledge and without sufficient knowledge to broaden one's horizons, even the most intelligent person will be in vain.

This can be seen from Gu Yuena's suffocating actions during the Legend of the Dragon King era; this girl's thought process is truly extraordinary.

And she has no one to talk to.

Di Tian treated her with utmost respect, while other ferocious beasts didn't even have the right to see her. She was all alone, sleeping at the bottom of this lake for tens of thousands of years, using the gold of living beings to heal her injuries.

Given her reclusive nature, bordering on autistic, it's quite normal that she didn't immediately think that Lin Yun and the others, who had recovered to their peak, could help her erase the Asura Sword Qi and heal her injuries.

Because she has never experienced what it feels like to be helped by others.

Autistic girl?

This description is absolutely correct.

Perhaps that's why Na'er, her second personality, cared so much about Tang Wulin's companionship for a year or two. Having seen the sunlight, how could she be willing to continue living in the darkness?

Lin Yun, this brother who "fell from the sky," made her feel the warmth of family for the first time, and also made her feel the sense of "having someone to support her."

Gu Yuena's voice was somewhat dreamy: "As avatars of the Dragon God, we are the leaders of the Beast Race. It is our mission to free the Beast Race from the oppression of the Human Race."

"But, brother, I really don't know how to get rid of the oppression of the God Realm, or how to revitalize the Soul Beast race. I only know that I am the hope of Di Tian and the others. I cannot be cowardly. I can only put on a cold and arrogant attitude so that they can have hope for the future."

"But in reality, the injuries that the Asura God left me with are already enough to leave me helpless. How could I possibly be confident of success when facing the Asura God himself, or even the entire God Realm?"

"I'm so tired, so very tired." Gu Yuena closed her eyes and leaned against Lin Yun's warm embrace, which gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

Is her idea strange?

Not surprising at all.

The Asura God's sword aura had already made her scalp tingle for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. If she were to actually face the Asura God himself, the courage to fight to the death would already be her limit.

If we add the entire God Realm to that, given that she's the only god-level combatant among the Soul Beast race, it's really not surprising that she'd give up.

He was so lazy that he preferred to immerse himself in a little romantic game with Tang Wulin and pin his hopes on a nobody who was born even earlier than Tang San, rather than face the situation himself.

Being rational means being able to think, and thinking leads to fear, anxiety, and an unwillingness to face suffocating pressure.

Rather than saying she represents the rational and wise side of the Dragon God, it would be more accurate to say she represents the soft and cowardly side of the Dragon God.

In contrast, the Golden Dragon King is so fearless and headstrong because he has no fear whatsoever. He is completely unaware of the Dragon God's softness and weakness.

If you can't understand it, then you won't be afraid.

At this moment, Lin Yun also understood Gu Yuena's suffocating actions. You really can't expect too much from an autistic girl. She was just carrying a burden she shouldn't have to bear. As a leader, she was unqualified. She could be called a complete waste, a true failure. What she shouldn't have done was occupy the position of leader and then, despite clearly not understanding it, still pointing fingers and giving orders.

Her position and Di Tian's position should be switched, with Di Tian as the leader and her as a brainless high-end combatant who only needs to obey orders.

Unfortunately, this assumption is not valid. As the Dragon God's protector, Di Tian could not possibly command the Dragon God's avatar, Gu Yuena.

The mess that is the Soul Beast... is basically beyond saving.

"Yes, we are all avatars of the Dragon God. The responsibility to restore the glory of the Beast Clan is not only yours, but also mine," Lin Yun said with a light laugh, gently stroking Gu Yuena's long silver-white hair. His prejudice against her had also dissipated considerably.

Thinking back on all these years, Gu Yuena had never interfered with her actions; she had simply watched and allowed herself to direct Di Tian and the others to stir up trouble.

She's actually quite competent; at least she didn't cause any trouble.

For Lin Yun, not causing trouble was the greatest help.

The woman before him did not bring any negative impact to Lin Yun. All of Lin Yun's prejudices against her were simply due to her actions in the original work.

But things are different now.

Lin Yun wasn't her subordinate, so he didn't have to deal with such a suffocatingly stupid leader. On the contrary, this younger sister would support all his actions, allowing him to truly become the ruler of all soul beasts.

In fact, Gu Yuena was partly responsible for Lin Yun's ability to gain Di Tian's absolute obedience from the very beginning. When they first met Di Tian, ​​Gu Yuena said, "I will obey all of my brother's arrangements."

Since you're willing to be an obedient younger sister who doesn't interfere, I naturally won't continue to hold prejudices against you.

"If you can't do it, I can do it. You just need to watch." Lin Yun patted Gu Yuena's back, his tone comforting. "No matter what, I am your brother. We are one. The responsibilities you bear are also part of my responsibility."

"Since you can't do it, then support me from behind. I don't know if I can succeed, but at least my brother and I have tried our best."

In the end, it has come to this point. From the moment Lin Yun obtained the power of the Golden Dragon King, he understood that he and Gu Yuena could never sever their ties.

The best outcome would be to be able to talk everything out.

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I'm willing to stand by your side forever and face all difficulties with you."

Gu Yuena smiled, her illusory divine body instantly solidifying. She wrapped her arms around Lin Yun's neck and kissed him with her luscious red lips.

She no longer embraced Lin Yun with her divine consciousness, but instead threw herself into Lin Yun's arms with her real body.

This kiss carried all her emotions and contained all her trust.

"Thank you, brother."
