"What's wrong?"
Seeing the girl who had suddenly appeared before him, Tang Luochuan stepped forward and gently embraced her as he asked.
"I just wanted to spend more time with you."
Gu Yue shook her head, though a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes. After all, just half a day after she had gone out, her man had somehow become someone else's fiancé first...
Although she had anticipated this possibility, actually learning about it still didn't put her in the best mood. She wondered if Luo Chuan could comfort her properly...
"But what was Luo Chuan thinking about earlier?"
Looking at him, she didn't bring up that matter right away. Instead, she recalled his earlier expression and asked about it.
"Nothing much."
"My cultivation is almost at the eight-ring level now, so I've been thinking more about God-level aspirations and possibilities."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan smiled and shook his head.
His Soul Power had already reached the seven-ring level, and he wasn't far from eight rings. And after becoming a Soul Douluo...
He had too many ways to break through his Soul Power.
Whether it was the Immortal Herbs in the Icefire Yin-Yang Well that he had never absorbed, or the optimal Soul Bones the Nine Dragon Kings had prepared for him long ago—all were viable options.
The fastest method, however, was still to absorb the energy of abyssal creatures.
Of course, after this trip to Star Luo ended, he had precisely such plans. It wouldn't take long at all to reach Soul Douluo by absorbing the energy of abyssal creatures.
"That makes sense."
Hearing this, Gu Yue smiled and responded.
Luo Chuan was getting closer and closer to becoming a Titled Douluo, and the path to God-level wouldn't be far off either.
"But Luo Chuan..."
"How does it feel to be the emperor's fiancé?"
The next moment, Gu Yue changed the subject with a light hum, gazing at him as she asked softly.
"So you do care about this after all."
Hearing her sudden question, Tang Luochuan looked at her with a smile, not particularly surprised. As expected, this matter still weighed on Gu Yue's mind.
"What do you mean, 'so I do care about this'..."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue turned her head away. As the generous leader among the women, she wouldn't be so petty!
"Aren't you that kind of person?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan looked at her with a chuckle, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, indeed not."
"You're that kind of dragon."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue's previously calm expression changed again. She froze slightly, staring at Tang Luochuan before her, momentarily at a loss for words.
She wasn't like that at all!
"Just a little bit."
After struggling internally for a while, Gu Yue hummed lightly, nestling into his embrace as she reluctantly acknowledged.
"Luo Chuan."
"Let's sleep."
Not long after, Gu Yue pulled away from his embrace, her face slightly flushed as she pointed toward the bed and spoke softly.
So what if Yun'er took away the title of first fiancé? At least Luo Chuan's first time was hers...
As long as Luo Chuan belonged to her, wasn't that enough?
"Mmm..."
Tang Luochuan responded with a smile. Under her gaze, he scooped her up in a princess carry and gently laid her on the bed.
Afterwards, under Gu Yue's expectant gaze, he slowly slipped under the covers and pulled up the blanket.
"..."
A question mark slowly formed in Gu Yue's mind. Although Luo Chuan was behaving perfectly normally now, still...
For a moment, watching the young man who appeared completely earnest no matter how she looked at him, she pursed her lips, opened her mouth slightly, then hesitated to speak.
At this moment, Gu Yue was utterly perplexed.
Why was Luo Chuan being so well-behaved today?
"What's wrong?"
Noticing her slightly dazed expression, Tang Luochuan looked at her with mild curiosity, maintaining an entirely calm and inquisitive demeanor—of course, this was assuming one ignored the corners of his mouth that he was struggling to keep from twitching.
Little Silver Dragon King—did she really think he couldn't see through her intentions? But rather than going along with Gu Yue's wishes, it would be much better to wait for her to make the first move before teasing her properly.
With that thought, he leaned in and lightly brushed his lips against hers in a teasing manner.
"I..."
Gu Yue's face grew increasingly flushed. For a moment, she bit her lip in a mix of embarrassment and frustration, almost wishing she could bite his chest.
This scoundrel—could he really not understand what she meant? Or was he deliberately waiting for her to voice her thoughts aloud...
"How can he be so wicked!"
Gu Yue thought to herself, then tried hard to suppress her inner feelings—though whether she could truly restrain them was another matter entirely.
"Luo Chuan, I..."
Knock knock knock...
Just as Gu Yue was about to speak, a knocking sound came from the bedroom door.
"Hmm?"
"What's this..."
Both Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue were momentarily stunned, but they quickly deduced who it might be. The only person who could casually visit his residence like this was probably Yun'er.
At this realization, Gu Yue immediately sat up, her gaze shifting toward the door. Though her expression appeared calm, subtle emotions stirred within her.
Why did it have to be now, of all times...
Tang Luochuan went to the door and opened it, revealing Dai Yun'er standing there with a cheerful grin.
"Luo Chuan, I came to see you!"
The moment the door opened, Dai Yun'er threw herself into his arms, announcing happily.
"I wanted to spend the night with you tonight—"
"Ah, Sister Gu Yue is here too."
After entering the room, Dai Yun'er started to speak but paused abruptly when she noticed the composed young woman sitting on the bed nearby. She clearly hadn't expected the other to be present.
"Mmm..."
"I came to see Luo Chuan as well."
Gu Yue replied nonchalantly, as if it were perfectly natural for her to be on the bed, and smiled faintly.
"Oh..."
Dai Yun'er responded thoughtfully. So Sister Gu Yue had come to rest with Luo Chuan.
But that wasn't her intention...
At this thought, her cheeks flushed slightly. Luo Chuan had explicitly told her during the day not to go too far, yet here she was visiting him at night.
It seemed...
She might have overstepped a bit!
"Then I'll just sit for a while before leaving."
Dai Yun'er settled onto the edge of the bed, her expression slightly apologetic. After all, Sister Gu Yue had arrived first, and as good sisters, she certainly wouldn't compete with her.
"Mmm..."
Hearing this, Gu Yue finally breathed an inward sigh of relief. It seemed Yun'er was still quite considerate!
At least she knew better than to seize this opportunity.
"Oh, Yun'er, you..."
Watching the seemingly well-behaved little princess beside him, Tang Luochuan fell into deep thought, hoping that her visit this time...
Was truly just to accompany him during his rest.
"Hehe..."
Dai Yun'er giggled without saying much, though the faint blush on her face betrayed her feelings. Since Gu Yue had her turn today, she would make sure to arrive punctually tomorrow...
"..."
Just then, the ringing of a communicator startled all three people in the room.
"Luo Chuan..."
"Who's calling you?"
Gu Yue frowned slightly and couldn't help asking.
"Well..."
"Na'er."
Tang Luochuan checked his communicator and answered calmly while accepting the call.
"What's wrong, Na'er?"
"Brother Luo Chuan..."
"I've arrived at your place now. Could you open the door for me? I'm having trouble sleeping."
"..."
At this moment, Gu Yue fell silent.
As Na'er's voice came through the communicator, knocking sounds could be heard from the doorway.
Clearly, the young girl was afraid of disturbing his rest. Had Luo Chuan not answered the call, she might have left at that very moment.
"Huh?"
"Sister Gu Yue, Yun'er..."
"Why are you all here?"
When Na'er entered the room and saw the girls gathered around Brother Luo Chuan, she couldn't help but voice her confusion.
Was this...
Some kind of meeting?
