Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 519: Silver Dragon Secrets (8k)

This dinner took more than an hour to officially end. Most of the food went into the stomach of Na'er, the big eater. When she could not eat anymore, Tang Wulin stepped in and finished all the remaining food.

Both Master Zhao and Huo Yutong were top chefs, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal, especially Naer. At the end of dinner, the look she gave Huo Yutong had become noticeably gentler, having changed from hostility to friendliness.

And what Master Zhao said before the meal, "Guess which ones were made by Yutong", ended with everyone guessing correctly.

When Master Zhao asked them to guess, Yali thought that she had to judge based on the taste of the dishes and choose the one that was slightly inferior.

It wasn’t until I actually ate it that I realized that the criterion for guessing was not “taste” but “feeling”.

That dish gave people a feeling of warmth from the bottom of their hearts, and that dish was made by Huo Yutong.

This made her marvel.

After dinner, Yali led everyone to the inner courtyard and said a little embarrassedly:

"I'm really sorry, there aren't that many empty rooms in Poseidon Pavilion, and I can't let all of you move in."

Tang Ziran smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter. The accommodation conditions in the inner courtyard are good enough."

He was not being polite. Compared to the small house that their family of four had lived in before in Aolai City, any dormitory in the inner courtyard was much more luxurious.

The dormitories where the disciples of the inner courtyard live are all well-equipped. In the outside world, even a well-off family may not be able to earn half of the cost even if they work hard for ten years without eating or drinking.

He was already quite satisfied to be able to enjoy such material conditions with Tang Wulin, and could not ask for more.

So Tang Wulin and the others found two dormitories to settle down, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong in one, and Tang Ziran and Lang Yue in another.

After everyone had settled down, Yali took Naer back to Poseidon Pavilion.

It was already very late at night. Tang Ziran and Lang Yue chatted with the two of them for a few minutes and then went back to their rooms to rest.

About half an hour later, a silver light suddenly flashed in Tang Wulin's room, and a spatial fluctuation flashed by.

At the same time, two people appeared in the Poseidon Pavilion, but they continued to simulate the help of soul skills and were not discovered by anyone.

They came to Naer's door and knocked gently.

Soon, the door was opened by Naer.

Although she couldn't see the two people, she knew it was them, so she quickly turned sideways and said:

"Come in quickly."

After making sure that the two had entered the room, she closed the door and asked:

"Can't you just teleport to my room? Why are you going through all this trouble?"

Tang Wulin laughed cheerfully:
"Don't you need time to prepare? After all, although you are young, you are still a girl."

"...Don't be so gentle at times like this."

Na'er was somewhat helpless. She crossed her legs and sat on the bed, and asked:

"Okay, brother, whatever you want to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

During the day, Tang Ziran, Lang Yue and Yali were present with them, so there were really too many outsiders.

Only at night, when there was no one else around, could she tell Tang Wulin everything she knew.

Tang Wulin immediately asked anxiously:
"Na'er, what is your true identity? Who is the Silver Dragon King?"

What he wanted to know most was undoubtedly the answer to this question.

He was more concerned about his sister's identity than anything else.

Naer tapped her lips, thought for a moment and said:
"Regarding this question, I must first explain to you the origin of the so-called Silver Dragon King."

Her eyes were very deep, and she was lost in her memories.

"Countless years ago, a war broke out in the divine realm high in the sky between human gods and divine beasts."

"That war caused great losses to the gods, but in the end, the gods of humanity won."

"As the leader of the divine beasts, the strongest beast god, the Dragon God, was split in half by the strongest god king of the human side, the Asura God, with a single sword."

"One half is the Golden Dragon King, who controls the Dragon God's physical body and blood power, and the other half is the Silver Dragon King, who controls the Dragon God's ability to control the elements."

"After the two Dragon Kings were split, the gods in the God Realm also hurriedly made countermeasures, but in the end they were unable to completely keep the two Dragon Kings that the Dragon God split into. Only the Golden Dragon King, who was in charge of the body and blood, was left. He was sealed in the God Realm, and the Silver Dragon King fell to the Douluo Continent."

"I wonder if you have heard of the title of Soul Beast Lord? On the surface, this title is used to refer to the Beast God Di Tian, ​​but in fact, the real Soul Beast Lord is the Silver Dragon King hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest. Only the one she points out is the real Soul Beast Lord."

"As for her purpose, I am actually just guessing, but if I am not mistaken, her ultimate goal should be to reach the God Realm, re-merge with the Golden Dragon King, re-form the Dragon God, and defeat the human gods."

"Therefore, to her now, your existence should be extremely confusing, brother."

Having said that, Na'er looked at Tang Wulin and smiled helplessly.

"She probably never dreamed that there was a human being who could possess the blood of the Golden Dragon King, and who accidentally upgraded this blood to the Dragon God blood without any contact with her. Brother, can you explain to me where the Golden Dragon King blood in you came from?"

"It's possible, but I'm just guessing."

Tang Wulin sighed, released the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit, and said:

"Na'er, do you still remember the story about the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit?"

"Yes, of course I remember. Blue Silver Emperor is the martial spirit possessed by Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect, right?"

"Yes."

Tang Wulin said reluctantly:

"As much as I hate to admit it, I'm probably his biological son."

"……what?"

Naer's expression suddenly became serious.

"Does this mean that you were adopted by your parents, just like me?"

"Yes."

Tang Wulin nodded slightly.

"The rest are all my speculations. If I'm not mistaken, perhaps during these ten thousand years, the Golden Dragon King in the God Realm successfully broke through the seal with some unknown means, causing a huge turmoil in the God Realm, and Tang San led the gods of the God Realm to kill the Golden Dragon King again, integrating his blood into my body, and the reason why the God Realm has disappeared now is most likely caused by the Golden Dragon King."

Originally he couldn't make such an inference, but the information Yun Ming had mentioned before about the disappearance of the divine realm gave him inspiration.

The disappearance of the divine world doesn't seem normal at all. It is very likely that they encountered a powerful external enemy.

Combined with Naer's story about the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, it is very likely that this powerful foreign enemy is the Gold Dragon King. He broke through the seal and relied on his terrifying physical strength to wreak havoc in the God Realm, bringing great disaster to the God Realm.

Considering that the Golden Dragon King had the ability to use the turbulence of time and space to send him back ten thousand years, the disappearance of the God Realm was most likely caused by him using a method similar to the turbulence of time and space.

In this case, although there are still many questions in the middle, the general logic can be considered to be self-consistent.

"Is that so..."

Naer murmured and nodded.

Indeed, for now, there is not much problem with Tang Wulin's inference. If this is the case, many things can be explained.

Tang Wulin urged:

"Na'er, you haven't explained what your relationship with Gu Yue is. Why is your martial spirit the Silver Dragon Spear? Why did Gu Yue approach me? Which of you two is the real Silver Dragon King?"

Naer smiled helplessly:
"Brother, don't be so impatient. I'll tell you now."

She took a deep breath and fell into memories.

"In fact, the memories I have about the Silver Dragon King are very few, which can only be called common sense."

"In the years since the God Realm fell to Douluo Continent, the Silver Dragon King has been working hard to recover from her injuries. The trauma she suffered was so severe that she relied on the energy in the Lake of Life and only fully recovered a few years ago."

"When she woke up, she found that the soul beasts had declined and the advantage held by humans had become incomparably huge."

"She understood that it would be difficult to revive the soul beasts by brute force alone, so she chose to transform into a human and learn everything about humans from scratch."

"What you picked up in Aolai City at that time was actually the Silver Dragon King who had just transformed into a human form. She sealed her own memory, so you don't have to worry that she was fake when she was with you. At that time, she was indeed your sister Na'er."

Tang Wulin interrupted:

"Wait, why did she seal her memory?"

If he remembered correctly, when he first met Na'er, she was being bullied by other children.

Why would the dignified Silver Dragon King choose to endure such humiliation and seal his own memory?

Naer shrugged.

"Because she wants to learn about human emotions from scratch. In this case, she cannot let her overly large memories affect herself, so she chose to seal herself."

"..."

Tang Wulin felt like something was wrong.

As far as he knew, the emotions of high-level soul beasts should not be much different from those of humans.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any legends about soul beasts and humans falling in love. Besides, he has Di Yun'er, a human who is the incarnation of the three-eyed golden lion, by his side. Although her personality is a little weird, she obviously has normal emotions.

Isn’t it a bit... unnecessary for the Silver Dragon King to seal his own memories in order to feel human emotions?
But now was not the time to discuss this. Tang Wulin suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded slightly to Na'er, motioning her to continue.

Naer sighed and said:
"As for the future, it will be time for her to successfully recover her memory and leave you."

"For some reason, she awakened her memory and recalled her identity. She realized that she could no longer stay in the small city of Aolai City, so she left a letter and left you."

"It was only then that she realized what a big mistake she had made."

"Although her experiences with you over the past few years have helped her completely understand human emotions, they have also made her fall too deeply into it. It is difficult for her to make calm decisions like before."

"It would be difficult for her to lead the soul beasts to take revenge on the God Realm, so she chose to split herself, completely separating herself as the human Na'er from herself as the Silver Dragon King, and successfully isolated herself from interference from human emotions."

Having said that, Naer pointed at herself and smiled bitterly.

"And the Na'er who was split off and has human memories is me, so my martial soul is the Silver Dragon Spear, because to put it bluntly, I am just a part of her."

"That's it..."

What she said was really too bizarre, but seeing how serious she was, Tang Wulin had no choice but to accept it.

Naer said somewhat sadly:
"To be honest, I'm not exactly the Na'er you know. The Silver Dragon King's memory is too vast. Even if I only accepted a small part of it as common sense, my personality has changed. Even your girlfriend discovered this this morning."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin subconsciously looked at Huo Yutong, who nodded at him somewhat embarrassedly.

Tang Wulin sighed helplessly, then suddenly reached out and pulled Na'er into his arms.

"Hey? Brother...brother?"

Naer was startled, and the sad expression on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant, quickly turning into a crimson color.

Then she heard Tang Wulin say firmly in a soft voice:

"Silly girl, don't think too much. In my opinion, no matter how many memories you awaken, you are still my sister Na'er, and this will never change."

After all, compared to when she parted with Tang Wulin, Na'er just had some more memories and her personality changed a little, which was nothing big.

It is impossible for him to stay with Na'er forever. If so, Na'er will have more and more memories that are not related to him, and her personality will become more and more different from now. This is normal.

Continuous learning, continuous growth, bidding farewell to the past self, and welcoming a brand new future, this is the normal growth process of human beings. In his opinion, Na'er was a little too picky. He didn't care about her awakening memory at all. In his heart, she would always be the little girl who spent several happy years together in the small house in Aolai City.

Listening quietly to Tang Wulin's words, Na'er's eyes sparkled with tears.

But she pursed her lips tightly, forcing back her tears, and smiled bitterly:

"This, this is really... I really envy Sister Yutong more and more..."

Tang Wulin laughed and said:

"What do you have to envy? She is my most beloved lover, and you are my most beloved sister. There is no difference in the status of the two of you in my heart."

"……Too."

Naer smiled inconspicuously.

Is there no difference?
The difference is huge.

But she didn't intend to let Tang Wulin know the difference. If possible, she wanted to keep this secret in her stomach for the rest of her life.

She quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and smiled:
"Okay, brother, get up. I've recovered. It's not good to hug another girl in front of your sister-in-law, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin let go of her hand and said helplessly:
"You little girl, you know a lot, but don't worry, Yutong is not such an unreasonable person, she knows what the relationship between you and me is, and she won't be jealous of it."

"Yeah……"

Na'er looked at Huo Yutong and saw Huo Yutong smiling and nodding at her. She suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

What Tang Wulin said was not wrong, but in a sense it was also extremely wrong.

Just as he said, Huo Yutong knew about the relationship between her and Tang Wulin, and she would not be jealous because of it, but both her feelings for Tang Wulin and the reason why Huo Yutong was not jealous were completely different from what Tang Wulin thought.

Naer always felt that she had been completely defeated, and her defeat was extremely thorough.

She shook her head, drove the feeling of frustration out of her mind, and continued:

"Okay, I've finished talking about my story, now it's time to get to the most crucial part."

Hearing her say this, Tang Wulin straightened up at once.

The information just mentioned is already explosive enough, but it turns out that we haven’t even reached the most crucial part yet?

"Of course not."

Seeing what Tang Wulin was thinking, Na'er smiled slightly and looked towards the direction of the Star Forest outside the window.

"I haven't told you yet why Gu Yue came to you."

Hearing the name Gu Yue, Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly became serious.

This is true. This time when he came to find Na'er, what he wanted to find out most was Na'er's identity, and the second was what was going on with Gu Yue.

Now that Naer's identity has been revealed, the next step is to reveal information about Gu Yue.

According to what Naer just said, she should be the real body of the Silver Dragon King. Then why did this Silver Dragon King come to contact her?

Is it for the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King in his body?

His guess was denied by Na'er the next second.

Naer crossed her hands in front of her chest and said:
"First, I want to tell you something that may shock you. When Gu Yue went to find you, he actually didn't know that you had the blood of the Golden Dragon King."

Tang Wulin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"is it?"

"Ah."

Naer shrugged lightly.

"After all, you didn't show any relevant aura at that time. Most likely, your bloodline hadn't awakened yet."

"That's true."

When Tang Wulin first met Gu Yue, he hadn't even broken through the first seal, and didn't even know that the power of the Golden Dragon King was sealed in his body.

By the time he learned about the Golden Dragon King's seal and successfully broke through it, he had already traveled to an era ten thousand years ago, and Gu Yue had no time to feel the Golden Dragon King's aura from him.

But if that was the case, why did she come to see me?
Naer smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's because of me."

She played with her hair and said:
"Although Gu Yue has reduced the interference from human emotions by separating me, we are ultimately one. Without me, she is no longer a complete Silver Dragon King, and it is destined that she will not be able to fully recover her strength in the future."

"So she will definitely devour me later."

"Her original plan was to cut off all my attachment to you, that is, to kill you all and then force you to merge with me. Although this would be a little flawed, it is better than being affected by my feelings for you after the fusion."

"After I realized this, I made a bet with her to protect you."

At this point, Naer's expression became serious.

"She transforms into a girl and comes to you to seduce you. If you fall in love with her, it proves that human emotions are false, and I will give up everything and let her devour me. If you don't fall in love with her, she will set me free."

"?"

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were both extremely confused after hearing this.

Huo Yutong couldn't help but ask:

"Wait, this logic is wrong, right? Why does Wulin's love for her prove that human emotions are false?"

Naer shrugged, a disdainful smile on her lips.

"It's very simple. Because she separated me from her, her understanding of human emotions has returned to a state of half-understanding. She is now unable to distinguish between family affection and love. She believes that my brother's feelings for me are the love between a man and a woman."

"…This is a huge misunderstanding."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but complain.

He suddenly felt that he understood why Gu Yue came to human society first to learn about human emotions.

How "amazingly intelligent" a person must be to think that a nine-year-old child would have improper thoughts about his eight-year-old sister?

Naer smiled softly.

"right?"

This was indeed a huge misunderstanding, but to be honest, she actually hoped that this was not a misunderstanding.

She sighed softly and said:

"Anyway, this time the bet was made because she misjudged the relationship between you and me. Gu Yue was tricked by me from the beginning."

"If things develop normally as I originally thought, you will most likely fall in love with her. After all, she is an old monster who has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and you are just a simple child. With her intelligence, she can easily play with you."

"But at the same time, I'm also betting that she will seduce you and fall in love with you at the same time. After all, you are so outstanding, with outstanding looks and very gentle. I don't believe she can really ignore you."

"If my bet is right and she really likes you, then you are basically safe, because if she likes you, she will never attack you. At that time, even if she devours me again, I will die without regrets. After all, if she devours me, it means merging with my memories and emotions. Her feelings for you will only grow deeper, and you will become safer because of it."

"Na'er..."

Tang Wulin looked at Na'er, who was smiling so freely, and felt a sense of panic in his heart.

"You are being too reckless, and your success rate is too low."

The success rate of this program is actually shockingly low.

Would Gu Yue really have a crush on him? Tang Wulin thought that was unlikely.

After all, he was just a weak soul master with a useless martial spirit, Blue Silver Grass, while Gu Yue was the lofty soul beast lord, the Silver Dragon King. The gap between the two was simply too huge. Normally speaking, the probability that Gu Yue would really fall in love with him was almost zero.

And even if she really fell in love with him, as long as his bloodline awakened, as long as she still had a sense of responsibility towards the soul beast clan, she would definitely choose to find an opportunity to devour him. This is almost an unsolvable dead end.

All Naer could hope for was that this powerful Silver Dragon King, who had lived for countless years, had a brain failure. The probability of success was shockingly low.

But he couldn't say anything. After all, Na'er came up with such a plan simply to save him. She even included himself in the plan. What else could she say?

After all, Naer is only an eight-year-old child, so it is normal for her to have some unthoughtful ideas.

He sighed heavily and asked:
"So if you win, Na'er, what are you going to do?"

"Not very good."

Naer laughed.

"Brother, do you really think she will let me go just because of the bet?"

“…I really won’t.”

It's obvious that the Silver Dragon King will not let Na'er go.

According to what Na'er said just now, as long as Gu Yue does not devour her, he will not be able to fully recover his strength. So even if the bet with Na'er ends in failure, Gu Yue will probably choose to forcibly devour Na'er.

This bet was an absolute dead end for Na'er no matter what. Tang Wulin really didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood she was in when she made this bet.

But for her, there was really no other way. After all, Gu Yue had too many cards in his hand, and Na'er herself had too little power. With such a huge gap in strength, it was already quite commendable that Na'er could think of using this bet to delay time.

"Oh, it's really hard on you."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But Naer shook her head.

“No, I don’t feel bitter at all.”

For her, being able to keep her favorite person alive in this way is an immense happiness.

In order to ease the somewhat dull atmosphere, Naer smiled briskly:
“Hehe, but in the end, no matter whether it’s me or Gu Yue, we’ve just been busy in vain. Brother, you don’t like me or her, but you fell in love with someone from ten thousand years ago. This is really something I could never have imagined at the beginning.”

The appearance of Huo Yutong completely disrupted her and Gu Yue's plans. The reason why Gu Yue was so confused and sent Di Tian to kill Tang Wulin and the others was not only because she got excited by the power of the Dragon God, but also because she realized that she could not defeat Na'er no matter what.

After all, her original plan was to kill Tang Wulin and then forcibly fuse him with Na'er. Now she just brought this process forward. Although there will be some minor flaws due to the forced fusion, it is impossible to win the bet anyway. Instead of wasting time, it is better to try to absorb the Dragon God bloodline in Tang Wulin's body.

However, she never dreamed that after only ten years of not seeing each other, Tang Wulin's fighting power had expanded so seriously. Not only was he not defeated by Di Tian and others, but he defeated all the ferocious beasts by himself.

It is indeed not Gu Yue’s fault in this regard. After all, in the entire history of mankind, there has never been a single person who could achieve such an achievement at the age of nineteen. Even Huo Yuhao achieved the status of Extreme Douluo in his twenties.

Looking at Na'er who was forcing herself to smile, Tang Wulin felt distressed. He took a deep breath and asked:

"So, do you know what Gu Yue is doing now?"

Now that it has been confirmed that Gu Yue is the Silver Dragon King, many things that were previously incomprehensible can now be understood.

Considering what Bai Tiannaer said about the close relationship between the Star Dou Great Forest and the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin believed that it was impossible for this group of ferocious beasts to have done nothing.

From the history he knew, although the Soul Pagoda did play a certain role as a buffer in the relationship between humans and soul beasts when it was first established, after so many years of development, the Soul Pagoda had long become the most ruthless organization in persecuting soul beasts.

The relationship between the two sides is not a blood feud, but it is not far off. It is impossible for a soul beast to truly be friends with the Spirit Pagoda.

Naer shook her head, looking somewhat guilty.

"I'm sorry, brother. I don't really understand what Gu Yue is thinking. After all, I only inherited a small part of her memory, so I don't understand her way of thinking that well."

"That's it..."

There was a slight flicker in Tang Wulin's eyes.

He suddenly stood up and said:

"Yutong, can you stay here? Protect Na'er. I'm going to go outside."

Huo Yutong immediately understood what he meant, and nodded with a chuckle.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. Be careful. If you really encounter danger, remember to ask me for help."

"Well, don't worry."

Tang Wulin also gave her a relaxed smile.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Na'er didn't react at first, but when she saw Tang Wulin turning around and preparing to leave, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized what Tang Wulin was going to do, and hurriedly called him.

"Wait, brother, you don't want to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to find Gu Yue, do you?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Tang Wulin nodded briskly.

"We can't figure out what the soul beasts are trying to do just by guessing here. Rather than guessing here, it would be easier to go and ask them in person, isn't it?"

Although there was still about a month left before the time Gu Yue had agreed with him, the bottom line was that he had let the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest go, and he had not really agreed to her and was not obligated to abide by this agreement.

"This……"

Na'er was speechless. She subconsciously wanted to stop Tang Wulin, but she couldn't find a reason to stop him.

At this moment, she felt her hand being held. She turned around and saw Huo Yutong's warm smile.

"Don't worry, with Wu Lin's strength, he won't be in any danger."

"..."

Naer was speechless.

Yes, Tang Wulin was no longer the brother whom she had to spend all her efforts to protect.

Now he is strong enough to stand tall and proud, and this time it is his turn to protect her.

As the silver light flashed, Tang Wulin's figure disappeared from Na'er's room.

Almost at the same time he left, Naer's suppressed tears flowed out.

Huo Yutong held her tenderly in his arms and patted her back gently.

At this moment, Na'er finally understood that Tang Wulin could no longer belong to her.

She is lovelorn.
