Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong

"Chains . . . of Heaven?" Sheng Feilong slowly muttered with a thoughtful expression . He was already certain that the strange chains around the throne were not ordinary when he first saw them, but chains from the G.o.d realm? Chains that can even bind G.o.dkings?

He wasn"t exactly sure how strong G.o.dkings were among G.o.ds, but their t.i.tle is already enough to understand that they must be extraordinarily powerful . He had a strange thought and looked at Gu Yue again . " . . . Couldn"t the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon break those chains? Even if not with pure physical strength, can"t it corrode them?"

Gu Yue frowned lightly, but still answered quickly . She didn"t know how Sheng Feilong knew about theChains of Heaven, but with She Meixiao observing her like a predator, she didn"t dare to ask . "The Chains of Heaven are indestructible . It doesn"t matter if it"s a G.o.dking, Demon Emperor or even a whole mortal realm; If the chains bind it, it is forever captive . "

Sheng Feilong nodded slowly . With all the information Gu Yue gave him, he didn"t think that she would lie about the chains . Moreover, he already saw the chains restrict the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon and chain it back to the throne, even making the demon"s spirit lie dormant afterwards .

He took a deep breath and glanced at She Meixiao . The latter didn"t know about the chains and from the look she gave Sheng Feilong, she was sure to answer questions later . Sheng Feilong slowly nodded towards her and then focused his attention back to Gu Yue . "There"s still one thing you haven"t told us yet: Who are you?"

Gu Yue stared at the two of them in silence and gnashed her teeth . She contemplated for a long time before finally opening her mouth slowly, looking Sheng Feilong directly into the eyes . "I can"t tell you . However, I can a.s.sure you that I"m not an evil Soul Master . "

"And we are to believe that on what basis?" Sheng Feilong frowned lightly, obviously not content with this answer . Gu Yue continued to resolutely stare at him; She seemed set on not exposing her ident.i.ty . "It doesn"t matter what you think of me . No matter what, I"m not an evil Soul Master ad that"s it . I can"t tell you more . "

She was still gnashing her teeth . Even with the threat of death and with Tang Wulin in their hands, she refused to tell them of her real ident.i.ty . This was how important this secret is for her . " . . . You can do to me whatever you want, I will never speak . "

"Then we no more use for neither you nor Tang Wulin . " She Meixiao coldly spoke with an indifferent expression . Gu Yue"s body shook for a moment, but she still didn"t say anything . Clenching her fists, she remained silent with her head hanging down .

"Master, wait . . . " Sheng Feilong said, still looking at Gu Yue with a serious expression . She Meixiao glanced at him, but stopped, curious to what he was planning . Sheng Feilong continued to stare at Gu Yue and spoke up again . "Why do you refuse to tell us who you are? Is your ident.i.ty that sensible? Or are you afraid that we"d kill you on the spot once we know of it?"

She still remained silent, not even acknowledging Sheng Feilong"s question, but that didn"t bother the latter . He opened his mouth again with the same expression . "Then, what"s you connection to the Spirit PaG.o.da? How are they involved?"

" . . . They"re not . And went there when I was younger with the intention to get accepted as someone"s disciple to gain a solid ident.i.ty . Like that, many people wouldn"t dare to question it and even if they investigated and didn"t find anything, they would just a.s.sume the Spirit PaG.o.da was hiding any information . " This time, Gu Yue spoke, though still hesitant .

She paused for a moment, then looked at Sheng Feilong again . "Leng Yaozhu isn"t involved in any of this . I didn"t expect to become her disciple, but it just came to be and I never changed that . " Sheng Feilong stared at her silently, then spoke up with a colder voice . "You"re quite considerate towards her . "

"She worked along with my plans quite well . She never asked useless questions and never restricted me from going where I wanted . She didn"t even question it if I shook off the people she sent to observe me . " This time, Gu Yue"s voice was cold again; She didn"t want to involve Leng Yaozhu in this at all .

After this, a long silence ensued . Seeing that questioning Gu Yue wouldn"t bring any more results, Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao were at a bit of a loss . They got all the information about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon the wanted; At least Gu Yue refused to tell them anything else .

Sheng Feilong turned around and looked at Tang Wulin who was still silently laying in his bed, unconscious . Then asked one last question . "What are you planing to do with Tang Wulin?" Gu Yue"s body visibly shook and she remained silent for a long time .

Staring at her this whole time, Sheng Feilong didn"t force her to answer, but if she didn"t . . . He couldn"t just let his friend in danger if he knew about it . His expression slowly turned into a deep frown and only after waiting for a long time did Gu Yue finally speak up . " . . . I won"t hurt him . "

"That doesn"t answer my question . " Sheng Feilong replied instantly, staring at Gu Yue with a deep frown by now . She remained silent for a few seconds again before letting out a small sigh . "I need his bloodline . But only the power contained within . I only need to stay near him and slowly absorb the energy he emits; It won"t bring him any harm . . . No matter what, I . . . Tang Wulin is also important to me . . . "

She spoke the last part in a small, extremely faint voice and hung her head down, not showing Sheng Feilong nor She Meixiao her expression . Not that that stopped those two from seeing it thanks to their Spirit Power, but they understood the gesture .

Sheng Feilong didn"t say anthing for a long time, so She Meixiao looked at him with the same indifferent expression she showed to Gu Yue before . "So, what do you want to do?"

Her question gained the immediate attention of Sheng Feilong and Gu Yue silently stared at the latter . He looked back and forth between She Meixiao, Gu Yue and the unconscious Tang Wulin and contemplated about the matter for a while, then sighed lightly and looked at Gu Yue with pity in his eyes . " . . . Let her go . "

Gu Yue stared at him in confusion . "What . . ?" Sheng Feilong didn"t answer her immediately, instead he went to the bed and lifted Tang Wulin up, pulling him over to her side . " . . . Take Wulin and leave for now . After the journey here on the Star Luo Continent ends, I want you to leave Shrek and never come near any of them again . "

Gu Yue glanced at She Meixiao, who still only looked at the spectacle with indifference, silently agreeing with Sheng Feilong"s decision . Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin in Sheng Feilong"s arms and quietly grabbed him . She slowly got up and pulled him out of the door .

With a wave of her hand, She Meixiao dispelled the sound isolating barrier and let Gu Yue walk out . She returned to Tang Wulin"s room, just two room off from Sheng Feilong"s, and remained there .

She Meixiao and Sheng Feilong were left alone on the latter"s room now . Sheng Feilong seemed to be in a sour mood while She Meixiao just waited for him to say something first . " . . . I"m sorry, Master . I couldn"t . . do anything to her . . . "

She Meixiao smiled lightly and answered in a soft tone . "It was your own decision . There"s no need to apologize . " With this, she slowly left the room, returning to her own and calming Sheng Feilong down for a while longer .

Inside her own room, She Meixiao let out a long sigh and stared into a certain direction . Her spiritual sense was still locked on to Gu Yue and she observed the latter"s every action . A cold light shone lightly in her eyes and spoke with an emotionless voice . " . . . He"s really to soft for his own good . "

She was displeased with Sheng Feilong"s att.i.tude; He had no problem being ruthless to his enemies, even going as far as nearly killing or crippling them without any hesitation, insulting an Emperor straight to his face and generally didn"t care what people thought of him .

But once someone got close to him, he couldn"t do anything to them . At least nothing that would harm them in the long run . Sure, he overwhelmed Gu Yue and took her hostage, but this viciousness vanished nearly instantly after that .

She Meixiao sighed once more and her body vanished from inside her room . She appeared at another location, staring at the scene in front of her with a cold look . A young woman sitting next to a bed where a young man was sleeping .

In this scene, She Meixiao was like a ghost . She silently stood behind the woman for a long time without saying anything, seemingly no even being detected . Slowly her hand stretched out towards the young woman"s neck .

She was just mere centimetres away from breaking the woman"s neck, when her hand suddenly stopped . She Meixiao felt cold sweat run down her back and instantly jumped back, staring to the left of the woman .

Where there wasn"t anyone before, now stood a tall, muscular man with long black hair and piercing, golden eyes . He didn"t say anything and only stared at She Meixiao while the young woman slowly turned around . She looked at She Meixiao and only spoke two words . "Get lost . "

She Meixiao ignored her completely . She stared at the black haired man next to Gu Yue with a grave expression . She couldn"t measure this man"s strength in the slightest . No aura radiated from him and she couldn"t feel an ounce of energy, even when probing with her Spirit Power . "Who are you?"

The man replied with an expressionless face . "You heard the Young Lady . Get lost before I kill you . " She Meixiao still didn"t react, only staring at the man and once again spoke in a more serious tone . "Who are you?!"

The man glanced at Gu Yue and only spoke after seeing her nod . A small smile on his face, with his arms casually resting at his side; He had a calm and dignified demeanor, but his words made She Meixiao"s body shake . " . . . You may call me Di Tian . "
