Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

After some time had passed.

Their lips parted.

Luo Yu held the beauty in his arms, their gazes locking.

"To save you, not to mention a mere stone talisman, I wouldn't hesitate to pay any price."

"Brother Yu..." Gu Yuena softly called out, her usually cold purple pupils now revealing endless warmth.

At this moment, their silent exchange was worth more than an array of affectionate dialogue; all the love flowed within their hearts.

"Hey, you two, there's still someone here."

"Can we stop with the mushy stuff, please?"

A sulky female voice rang out, and Luo Yu and Gu Yuena turned their heads simultaneously to see the Life Goddess shaking her head and sighing exasperatingly.

Gu Yuena, alarmed, asked, "Life Goddess?"

The Life Goddess replied,

"Hey, I was just saving you. Do you want to attack me as soon as you come back to life, full of blood?"

"Save me?" Gu Yuena huffed, "We are like fire and water; why would you kind-heartedly save me?"

"So ungrateful," the Life Goddess said with a shrug. "It was the Asura who attacked your Dragon Clan back then, what does that have to do with me, the Life?"

At this time, Luo Yu patted Gu Yuena on the back.

"What she just said is true."

"Huh?" Gu Yuena was puzzled.

When did this woman come to Soul Land, and why would she so kindly save her? Gu Yuena looked over with suspicion.

Luo Yu released Gu Yuena's waist and took a step forward into the void, saying,

"Shouldn't we have a proper chat?"

"No." The Life Goddess shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Luo Yu's dark eyes were deep.

The Life Goddess looked speechless and gestured towards the man and woman with her hand.

Luo Yu and Gu Yuena followed her direction and looked down.

"Ah!"

Gu Yuena was the first to cry out in shock, covering her privates. But given the grand scale, she couldn't cover it all.

Though Luo Yu didn't shout, his head was buzzing, and he almost looked for a crack in the ground to crawl into.

No wonder they had felt so unconstrained and wobbly since just before.

The Life Goddess covered her forehead with her jade hand.

"You can't be serious, you two haven't noticed all this time?"

Watching Luo Yu and Gu Yuena hurriedly take clothes out of their Storage Space, the Life Goddess lifted her beautiful cheek, letting out a haughty chuckle.

"Heh!"

"Truly, love can make people lose their minds."

...

In the void, Luo Yu and Gu Yuena stood side by side.

The man was dressed in a green robe, with his hair standing tall in an efficient ponytail, resembling a gallant wanderer, his eyes bright and eyebrows expressive, handsome and extraordinary.

The woman wore a black corseted gown, the mystery of black against her pale skin creating a stark contrast, revealing silent elegance and allure. Her signature silver hair cascaded down, and her clear jade feet stood upon the void, untainted by dust.

Both of them were looking at the Life Goddess opposite them, seemingly calm on the outside and as steady as two old dogs, but inwardly, they were cringing and in a panic.

The moment before was just too embarrassing.

"Ahem."

Luo Yu complained, "Couldn't you have reminded us a bit earlier, or were you doing this on purpose?"

"Yeah, on purpose," admitted the Life Goddess, nodding candidly.

This direct response rendered Luo Yu speechless, and he said with a toothy grimace, "So the Life Goddess can be this playful, huh?"

The Life Goddess shook her head.

"Earlier, seeing you two so sweet together, I just didn't have the heart to interrupt your lovey-dovey display."

"Hiss—"

Luo Yu now fully understood.

This goddess, who appeared dignified and graceful, was actually a bit playful and somewhat sly; this was outrageous and not fitting of her image at all!

At this time, Gu Yuena didn't give the pair another chance to converse, her voice filled with wariness:

"When did you sneak into Soul Land, and what is your purpose?"

The Life Goddess smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Yuena's purple pupils shot up.

Luo Yu spoke up, "I really want to know what purpose you have in disguising yourself as a mere servant girl of the Divine Realm, pretending to be abducted by me, and coming to Soul Land."

"If it was simply to harm us," Luo Yu continued, "you could have taken us out when Nana and I broke through just now."

The Life God King replied, "As you said, I am the Life God King; how could I arbitrarily take lives with my own hands?"

Luo Yu grinned, "I believe that a God King is definitely not a saint. I don't believe you've never taken a life."

"The people I have killed all deserved their fate," said the Life God King. "However, it seems you two do not have a reason to be killed by me."

Gu Yuena was clearly skeptical.

"You must have seen the Asura God we nearly beat to death, right? Doesn't that count as 'deserved their fate'?"

It was then that the Life God King's expression turned serious, her green beautiful eyes revealing a piercing coldness.

The vitality around seemed to gradually dissipate.

"Asura?"

"That guy deserved to die."

"How many lives he has slaughtered to refine those Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Beads and Blood Patterns."

"Ah, this—"

Luo Yu and Gu Yuena were dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Is there chaos within the Divine Kings?

The Life God King suppressed her killing intent and smiled, "Actually, I should thank you for slaying the Asura God King."

"The current Divine Realm may seem splendid, but in reality, it's rotten on the inside."

"One deity after another sits high in the heavens, indifferent to mortals, viewing them as ants."

"Little do they know that all life is equal, with no high or low, noble or lowly."

"They do not respect life, yet I can't change anything."

The Life God King's gaze was intense as she looked at Luo Yu.

"Actually, when I first detected your presence on the fringes of the Divine Realm, I was merely curious."

"Following you, I wanted to see what you were truly up to."

"If back in the Divine Realm, you had casually killed me, this little servant girl, then I would have erupted immediately, working with other Divine Kings to take you down," she said.

"But you didn't kill the trouble that could be taken out with a single strike. Instead, you brought her back. That made me think you were quite special."

"After all, whether it's the Dragon Clan or the Divine Kings, none would care about the life or death of ants."

"Upon reaching your territory in Soul Land, you still didn't harm me and even allowed me to leave, which I found very interesting."

"In fact, I have already covertly traveled through various regions of Soul Land. Everywhere I went, I heard praises and commendations for you. Even though your strength has reached such a level, you still respect the weaker creatures, and that makes you even more intriguing to me. You are truly unique," she declared.

Listening to the Life Goddess's non-malicious words, Gu Yuena's eyes did not lose their caution, but instead grew even more intense.

She even grabbed Luo Yu's hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

The Life God King stared at Luo Yu, ignoring Gu Yuena.

"Does your promise to me still hold?"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't, after all, I did not manage to rescue her," the Life God King said.

Luo Yu nodded, "At that critical moment, you were willing to sacrifice your life source to help, which makes you a friend."

"I'm someone who doesn't mind doing a favor for a friend," he added.

The Life God King smiled, like a blossoming flower.

"You really are a good man," she praised. "You're much more interesting than those Divine Kings in the Divine Realm."

"I've heard you have many women. How about I become one of your women too?" she teased.

"In your dreams!" Gu Yuena immediately glared at her, like a protective mother dragon guarding her food.

Luo Yu was speechless.

Were they that familiar with each other?

It's all fun and games, but some things shouldn't be joked about.

My wife is right here. It's not appropriate to say such things. Don't ask, because the answer is no, it's impossible!

At least when no one's around...

"Tut-tut,"

The Life God King looked at Gu Yuena with amusement, shook her head and chuckled, "Just joking, don't take it seriously..."
