Douluo: Legend of Ancestral Dragon

Gu Yue Na looked at Ao Tian expectantly, as did Di Tian and the others.

They hoped Ao Tian would deliver an impassioned speech, boosting morale, and then lead them to war against the humans.

With a senior as powerful as the Dragon God to help, they could surely avenge themselves and resolve the crisis facing the Soul Beasts.

Ao Tian shook his head slowly under everyone's expectant gazes. "I'm sorry, but this is a matter between you and the humans, it has nothing to do with me."

He just wanted to live a carefree life. Why would he lead the Soul Beasts to war with the humans, or even wipe them out? Was he bored? Besides, if he wiped out the humans, how would he explain it to Bibi Dong?

Gu Yue Na was surprised that Ao Tian refused and immediately became anxious. "Ancestor, you are our ancestor! How can you not stand up for us now that we are being suppressed by the humans?"

She couldn't understand, and neither could Di Tian. Their own kind were being oppressed by the humans, almost wiped out, and how could this ancestor remain indifferent?

"Don't call me Ancestor," Ao Tian said. "The Dragon God merely absorbed the dragon blood that leaked from me while I was asleep and obtained the Dragon Clan's inheritance. But what does that have to do with me? I didn't intentionally create him, so why should I be responsible for you?

In my opinion, you Soul Beasts are indeed pitiful, but I'm now living in the human world, and my beloved is also human. If you want to exterminate humans, I'm sorry, but I can't help you."

Gu Yue Na anxiously said, "Ancestor..."

"Don't call me Ancestor."

"Senior Ao, you're not human. Why are you siding with them? Humans cultivate quickly, and the probability of producing strong individuals is also higher than ours. They can absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings or even hundred-thousand-year soul rings after only a few decades of cultivation. Meanwhile, the Soul Beasts' growth cycle is extremely long. If this continues, the Soul Beasts will eventually become extinct."

Ao Tian said, "I think the two races don't necessarily have to fight to the death. Perhaps, we can find a way to coexist peacefully."

Gu Yue Na shook her head. "What other methods are there? Humans can't continue cultivating without soul rings, and they're destined to slaughter us Soul Beasts. Therefore, to survive, the only way is to kill all humans, or at least kill all human soul masters."

Ao Tian stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I've been asleep for hundreds of millions of years. Now that I've woken up, I just want to enjoy life in this world. Don't involve me in these messy inter-species wars."

In his opinion, a race going extinct was normal. In the five hundred million years he had slept, he didn't know how many races had become extinct.

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, let's go back."

Gu Yue Na became anxious and quickly stood up, saying, "Senior Ao, wait a moment."

Ao Tian stopped.

Gu Yue Na turned to look at Di Tian and the others, saying, "You all go out first. I want to talk to Senior Ao alone."

Di Tian and the others had no choice but to leave the wooden house.

Ao Tian said, "Xiao Wu, you all go out first too."

A moment later, only Gu Yue Na and Ao Tian remained in the wooden house, both sitting down.

Gu Yue Na asked, "Senior Ao, since you don't want to help us, why did you come here to find us?"

Ao Tian said, "I sensed your presence long ago. I was just curious about your Dragon Clan identity, so I came to take a look."

Gu Yue Na bit her lip, and a captivating blush suddenly bloomed on her pale face. As if she'd made a decision, she said, "Senior Ao, could you please shield us from those outside? I have something I'd like to speak to you about in private."

Ao Tian was puzzled by what Gu Yue Na was planning, but he still casually set up a barrier.

"Alright, they can't see us now, nor can they hear anything here. You can speak freely," Ao Tian said.

Gu Yue Na stood up, her dainty feet moving gracefully as she approached Ao Tian.

Her lustrous silver hair cascaded down to her ankles, and Ao Tian couldn't help but glance at her delicate, white feet.

He frowned, unsure of what Gu Yue Na was about to do.

Gu Yue Na stood before Ao Tian, her pretty face growing increasingly red, and even the exposed, smooth, and white skin on her body was tinged with a faint blush.

Her body still emanated a refreshing, captivating fragrance, making one want to inhale deeply.

Ao Tian had to admit that Gu Yue Na was the most ethereal woman he had ever seen.

Gu Yue Na bit her lip, and the dress formed from her soul power gradually dissipated, presenting her most perfect self to Ao Tian.

Ao Tian finally understood the feeling of wanting to gasp. His heart slowly accelerated, and a sudden flutter stirred within him.

He forced himself to turn his head away and said, "Gu Yue Na, what are you doing?"

Gu Yue Na lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks extending to her earlobes, unable to look at Ao Tian.

"Senior Ao, I know the Dragon Clan has great needs. The Dragon God had nine offspring originally, and even Di Tian has Bi Ji and Zi Ji. If you don't mind... Gu Yue Na is willing to be your woman."

She trembled slightly, and reached out a trembling hand, wanting to touch Ao Tian.

Ao Tian pushed Gu Yue Na's hand away and said, "Gu Yue Na, please respect yourself."

Gu Yue Na looked a little aggrieved and said, "Why? Am I not pretty enough?"

Ao Tian shook his head, still not daring to look at her directly. "No."

"Then why won't you accept me?"

"I have someone I love, and, well, feelings need to be cultivated," Ao Tian replied.

"Feelings? What's that?" Gu Yue Na was puzzled.

"Feelings are when you like someone," Ao Tian explained.

"Oh, then I like you, and I don't mind if you have other women," Gu Yue Na said, her beautiful big eyes fixed on Ao Tian.

Soul Beasts have a simple view on this matter: it's normal for powerful Soul Beasts to have multiple partners.

In her opinion, Ao Tian was powerful and handsome, making him an ideal choice for a partner.

Furthermore, if she became Ao Tian's woman, perhaps she could persuade him to help the Soul Beast race.

Ao Tian certainly understood Gu Yue Na's sudden offer.

He didn't think his charm was so great that a noble woman would offer her precious body on their first meeting.

Her main purpose was still for the future of the Soul Beasts.

Ao Tian couldn't help but admire Gu Yue Na; she was willing to sacrifice herself for the future of the Soul Beasts.

He sighed and said, "Put your clothes back on. If you want to be friends with me, that's fine, but there's no need for this. If you keep this up, I'm leaving."

Gu Yue Na was anxious and immediately stepped forward, wanting to grab Ao Tian.

Ao Tian was currently filled with a raging fire within him, so how could he let her get close?

He sighed helplessly, and his figure suddenly vanished, leaving the place directly.

"The barrier will disappear soon; get dressed quickly." Ao Tian's words echoed in Gu Yue Na's ears.

Gu Yue Na was stunned for a moment, and then a long dress reappeared on her body, but her face, flushed with a rosy glow, wouldn't recover anytime soon.

"Senior Ao... is gone," she murmured, her voice filled with endless loneliness.
