Chapter 841: Gu Yuena is Stunned: That's So Fierce?_1

Soul Land.

Upon the ravaged land stood a colossal Bagua Furnace Cauldron, within which raged a blazing inferno of chaotic colors.

It was baking and refining a blood-red pearl.

With each flame that seemed to bite and scorch with its own sentience, the color of the red pearl slowly faded.

And with every bit of color that faded, it seemed as if countless wailing souls were dispersing.

A silver-haired, stunningly beautiful and cold girl remained close to the cauldron, not straying even a step, her purple pupils sharply focused on the blood pearl inside.

The moment there was any sign of disturbance, she would immediately suppress it without any hesitation.

Watching the blood pearl slowly being refined, Gu Yuena's eyes flickered.

Her heart was filled with emotion.

She harbored a deep hatred for the Asura God, yet never had the courage to take revenge because his strength was simply unbeatable, too formidable.

One could tell just from the battle between the Asura God and Luo Yu.

The blood patterns that covered his body possessed a power comparable to being infused with planar power and he was even protected by this blood pearl, which fortified his Divine Spirit, on top of his innate Divine Power.

He was practically invincible.

If this hadn't been Luo Yu's domain, if the man hadn't possessed a flame that could restrain his opponent's blood patterns, if he hadn't obtained the opponent's weapon, the Shura Divine Sword, in advance -

Both of them might well have died at the hands of the Asura God.

A Divine King renowned throughout the Divine Realm would not be easy to deal with.

But there weren't so many ifs; the man had truly fulfilled his promise and helped her take her revenge.

He managed to accomplish something she once believed was absolutely impossible.

Gu Yuena's gaze softened, her great vendetta was about to be settled, and it seemed as though the vindictiveness hidden for thousands of years in her eyes was slowly dissipating.

In its place was dawning affection meant only for Luo Yu.

"You must come back safely," she murmured.

Gu Yuena pressed her red lips together, her purple pupils brimming with concealed worry.

She could imagine how helpless Luo Yu must feel, crossing the terrifying temporal-spatial turbulent flow alone, sneaking into the Divine Realm, entering into an unfamiliar environment.

Especially since it was a place surrounded by strong enemies, where every corner held an adversary.

Not only was it their home ground, but there were also four Divine Kings standing guard, including a powerful Level One Deity and many more Second-level Deities.

If Luo Yu were exposed, not to mention being instantly blasted to pieces, he would be worn down to death, with no chance of escape.

Gu Yuena wasn't underestimating her man; it was just that she knew too well how formidable and despairingly strong the Divine Realm was.

She had to admit that he had far more courage and was much more decisive than she was.

He said he would go, and he went.

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly thought that even if Luo Yu couldn't save the Golden Dragon King, as long as he returned safely, she would be completely content.

Even if they were ultimately besieged and killed by the Divine Realm, as long as they could enjoy a brief period of warmth, she felt her death would be without regrets, her life fulfilled.

Gu Yuena looked somewhat haggard, her jade fingers pressing into her palm.

It seemed they had never really had a proper tender moment together, a gently heartfelt talk.

All along, she had been burdened with hatred; even when special feelings surged within her heart, she forcefully suppressed them.

In this moment, she began to regret.

Why hadn't she been gentler with him in the past, why hadn't she talked through a proper romance with him like other women?

If...

If he never came back...

Gu Yuena's delicate body shuddered, her heart suddenly clenched in pain, as if a long needle had been thrust deep into it.

Blood spurted out.

No, it couldn't be!

He would definitely return.

She hated that she felt so helpless, wondering why the affairs of the Dragon Clan had to weigh on the shoulders of the man she loved.

If only she had been strong enough, then he wouldn't have had to face all this.

Gu Yuena looked up at the sky, as if she could see through thousands of miles, beyond the atmosphere to the stars themselves.

In this moment, she felt an impulse to leave the Asura God behind and rush recklessly towards the Divine Realm; she wanted to make sure he was safe.

Her breath grew rapid.

This heart-wrenching urgency was something she had never experienced in her life.

What was the man facing at this very moment?

Sneaking about inside the Divine Realm, scouting for information?

Or had he been discovered, now facing pursuit and peril, being hunted by the four Divine Kings and a host of deities?

The more she thought about it, the more Gu Yuena felt like she was suffocating, drowning.

The heart that was hanging could not settle down.

No!

I shouldn't scare myself.

I should have confidence in her.

Moreover, considering the time, it's been less than half a month; he should have just left the space-time turbulence and infiltrated the Divine Realm, right?

It's okay, it must be okay.

Gu Yuena, what's wrong with you!

This isn't like you used to be…

Gu Yuena sighed softly in her heart; she knew her current state was not right.

But even the spiritual power of a Divine King, cold and steadfast for ten thousand years, couldn't control her now chaotic thoughts.

Everything started with this man.

At that moment, as if a silver speck appeared beyond the ten thousand-meter-high sky.

Gu Yuena's spirit shook.

Is it him!

Has he returned?

She quickly shook her head.

Impossible, it hasn't been long since he left; how could he return.

Gu Yuena stared intently in the direction of the silver speck.

There was nothing there, not a glimmer of light.

"Indeed, was it an illusion..."

"Whoosh!"

The power of space surged behind Gu Yuena, silver light burst forth, and a spatial rift appeared.

She sensed all of this, her delicate body swaying.

She quickly turned her head.

Her silver hair fluttered and danced in the air.

The stunning purple pupils reflected the figure of a graceful Banished Immortal.

He was looking at her with a gentle smile.

Gu Yuena's heartbeat accelerated, no trace of her cold demeanor left as her eyes began to redden.

With speed pushed to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, she stood beside Luo Yu, opening her arms and hugging him tightly.

"You're back."

"You've finally come back!"

Gu Yuena buried her head in Luo Yu's shoulder, greedily sniffing the man's scent.

"Ah..."

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, his smile frozen; he looked completely baffled.

This was the first time he had seen Gu Yuena show such a gentle, soft, feminine side; she who once seemed to look down upon the world like a queen, indifferent to everything.

Now, however, she appeared like the girl next door.

"Nana... what's... wrong with you?"

"I don't think I've been away for that long."

Gu Yuena's lips kissed Luo Yu's earlobe.

"It's good you're back."

"It's good as long as you are back."

"No need for you to go and save that damned Golden Dragon King; I just want you to be okay."

"We'll find another way."

"I won't let you go on adventures alone anymore; it's worse than death for me."

Luo Yu's heart trembled fiercely, feeling the trembling delicate body and the unstable emotional fluctuations.

That full-fledged attachment and concern.

He was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say; all he could do was hold the woman in his arms.

After a long while, as the woman's emotions gradually stabilized.

Luo Yu said awkwardly:

"Nana, you don't think that I just ran away halfway through the trip, do you?"
