Chapter 116: Love-Brained Gu Yuena, Shifting the Blame
After reading about Gu Yuena's outrageous actions twenty thousand years later, the chat group instantly exploded.
[My Surname is Not Yu: @Purple Has Its Own Charm, Sister Zi Ji, is the co-lord of your soul beast race really this absurd? It feels like even Bibi Dong isn't as outrageous as that Silver Dragon King.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Is this something a leader of a faction would do? Once her love-brain kicks in, she directly defects to the enemy, and the worst part is she defects to Tang San's side.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: With a leader like this, no wonder your soul beast race would perish.]
[Purple Has Its Own Charm: ...]
[Purple Has Its Own Charm: Well… I didn't expect this either. Looks like we can't rely on that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. Better to take matters into our own hands. Feels like relying on ourselves is more reliable.]
[I Am a Super Healer: Exactly. This unseen leader of ours is way too outrageous. While we are fighting to the death, she's actually falling in love. What does that make of our soul beast race?]
In the hotel room next to Lin Chen's.
After reading the contents of Lin Chen's diary, Bi Ji and Zi Ji both sighed in the chat group.
They had originally thought that the Silver Dragon King was the true leader of their soul beast race, a great lord who would lead them to revival.
But the truth was—
Their lord, the Silver Dragon King, was just like Bibi Dong in the group, a love-brained Dragon King. Rather than placing their hopes on her, it would be better to rely on their own efforts and make the Soul Beast race great again.
[Green Grass: Fellow soul beast sisters in the chat group, it seems that we are the last hope of the soul beast race. That divine beast Silver Dragon King won't accomplish anything.]
[Green Grass: Despite possessing god-level strength, she's probably not even as useful as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.]
[Green Grass: For the soul beast race to have such a lord, it's truly eight lifetimes of bad luck.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Agreed!]
...
[Sea God's Most Loyal Believer: Agreed!]
The Soul Beast members in the chat group all voiced their agreement, their words filled with dissatisfaction toward the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Even the human members in the chat group couldn't understand Gu Yuena's actions.
A leader of a great faction, without a single shred of responsibility, let her love-brain take over and directly ruined the entire soul beast race.
[I Sleep Every Day: Um… everyone, go easy on me. I can't take it anymore.]
[I Am a Little Princess: ???]
[I Am a Little Princess: Are you that love-brained Dragon King?]
[I Sleep Every Day: Mmm, yes. I am the Silver Dragon King.]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: @I Sleep Every Day, we fought with all our might. Why did our lord take the lead in defecting?!]
...
[Purple Has Its Own Charm: We fought with all our might. Why did our lord take the lead in defecting?!]
Inside the chat group, after learning that Gu Yuena was also present, the soul beast members all began questioning her.
As the co-lord of the soul beast race, for her to fall into a love-brained state and lead the charge in defecting to the enemy truly infuriated them.
[I Sleep Every Day: Um… I really didn't do it on purpose. It must have been Tang San's doing. Otherwise, how could I just happen to fall in love with Tang San's son?]
[I Sleep Every Day: Think about it, right?]
[I Sleep Every Day: According to Lin Chen's diary, the God Realm had already drifted away. So why would Tang San's son still appear on the Douluo Continent?]
[I Sleep Every Day: Damn Tang San, he actually dared to set me up. He already has a death wish!]
[I Sleep Every Day: Bi Ji, Zi Ji, I will soon come to find you. When that time comes, we will go together to find Tang San and completely eliminate this hidden danger. How about it?]
At the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Seeing the chat group members focusing their fire on her, Gu Yuena quickly came up with an idea.
That was to shift the blame onto Tang San. After all, Tang San was indeed a scumbag who did nothing good and also a perfect scapegoat who easily attracted hatred.
No matter what outrageous thing happened, as long as it was pinned on Tang San, the sisters in the group would naturally have a certain level of trust.
Moreover, Gu Yuena believed that her falling in love with Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, must have involved Tang San's interference to some extent.
Otherwise, no matter how love-brained she was, she wouldn't fall so deeply in love with a human—that simply wasn't reasonable!
In fact, Gu Yuena's thinking wasn't wrong. She was indeed love-brained, but she still needed a trigger for that love.
Twenty thousand years later, the reason she would fall in love with Tang Wulin mainly came down to two factors.
First, her own outrageous action of splitting herself into a primary consciousness, Gu Yue, and a secondary consciousness, Na'er.
Second, Tang Wulin had the Golden Dragon King—the other half of the Dragon God—sealed within him, causing him to emit the aura of the Golden Dragon King, which naturally gave him a certain attraction toward Gu Yue and Na'er.
In the chat group, just as Gu Yuena had expected, after hearing her explanation, all the members fell into deep thought.
They felt that her explanation wasn't without reason.
They also wondered: twenty thousand years later, the God Realm had drifted away, so why would Tang San's son still appear on the Douluo Continent?
Combined with the incident ten thousand years later, where Tang San set up the sacrifice of the Emperor Destiny Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest—
They had already believed half of Gu Yuena's explanation.
[Yan Will Come Back: @I Sleep Every Day, although what you said makes sense, even if Tang San set it up, the fact that you truly fell in love with Tang Wulin is still outrageous.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Exactly. Even if not as bad as Bibi Dong, it's probably not far off.]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Why is it that whenever someone outrageous appears in the group, you all drag me into it? Is there any justice left?
[Pope of Spirit Hall: The current me is the leader of the Anti-Grandmaster Sect. Show some respect to your leader, alright?]
[A Little Fox: Teacher, forgive your disciple for speaking bluntly, but you were just too outrageous before you awakened.]
Suo Tuo City.
Just after Hu Liena spoke, she noticed Bibi Dong beside her casting a gaze that looked ready to beat her up.
"Um… Teacher, I didn't mean it."
Hu Liena didn't dare meet Bibi Dong's eyes and quickly admitted fault.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong chuckled, then knocked Hu Liena on the head twice, making her clutch her head in pain.
"Nana, let's see if you still dare to slander your teacher in the future."
[I Sleep Every Day: Sigh, that's true. Falling into Tang San's trap is indeed my responsibility as the co-lord of the soul beast race.]
[I Sleep Every Day: But don't worry. Now that I know, forget falling in love with Tang San's son, I'll eliminate Tang San right now!]
Seeing that Gu Yuena was being reasonable and willing to correct her mistakes, the women in the chat group stopped pressing further.
After all, they were all members of the chat group, future sisters, part of one big family.
Moreover, compared to Bibi Dong back then, Gu Yuena's handling of the situation today was far more clever and wise.
Back then, Bibi Dong had stubbornly refused to admit fault and frantically defended Yu Xiaogang, acting foolish to the extreme, nearly driving them mad.
But now she had become the leader of the Anti-Grandmaster Sect, so the past could be let go with the wind. They wouldn't dwell on Bibi Dong's past anymore.
