Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1980: Do Nothing But Love You

Right at this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly swiveled around before thrusting her Silver Dragon Spear toward the oncoming Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin was already prepared to surrender himself to the embrace of death, and in the face of this drastic turn of events, he was about to have a mental breakdown.

In that instant, countless chaotic thoughts surfaced in his mind. Why had she killed Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin? It meant that she intended to wipe out the human race and was getting rid of the only potential obstacle other than Tang Wulin!In the end, she still intended to destroy the human race so that the soul beasts could take over this entire world.

Tang Wulin was already in a state of complete panic, and he lashed out with his Golden Dragon Spear with all his might in an attempt to cut Gu Yuena's killing spree short.

Gu Yuena's cold eyes were completely devoid of emotion, and it seemed that she had been overcome by her fury and hatred toward the human race.

The tip of her Silver Dragon Spear struck the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear with unerring accuracy as the two clashed once again, but all of a sudden, something completely unexpected happened.

As soon as the two spears made contact with one another, the Silver Dragon Spear vanished like an illusion.

As a result, the Golden Dragon Spear pierced directly through Gu Yuena's heart right in front of Tang Wulin's incredulous eyes.

Only then did the cold look in her eyes completely fade away, and a faint smile appeared on her face, as if she couldn't feel any pain from the spear that had plunged through her chest.

Everything seemed to have fallen completely still in a stationary snapshot in time, and everyone was stunned by what they had just witnessed.

In the distance, the Great Beasts roared with anguish and fury as they prepared to pounce, while Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue looked on with astonished expressions.

At the same time, the withered bodies of Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi abruptly vanished, revealing the two of them completely unscathed, but thoroughly shocked.

Mo Lan's jaw immediately dropped open, and the entire human army and the citizens of the continent watching through their soul screens were all rooted to the spot.

Everything and everyone had fallen completely still, much like the seal that the Holy Lord had once placed upon the entire continent, and Tang Wulin felt as if his heart had frozen solid.

His mind was completely blank, and at this point, it was obviously clear to him that he had been tricked by Gu Yuena.

The two of them were the only ones currently still able to move, and they slowly descended onto the ground.

Tang Wulin immediately shuddered as he attempted to pull out his Golden Dragon Spear, but Gu Yuena suddenly grabbed onto the shaft of the spear before gently shaking her head.

Nine-colored light was revolving around her fingers, which appeared slender and frail, but were strong enough to lock the Golden Dragon Spear in place despite Tang Wulin's best efforts.

"I planned this out a long time ago, and it's the best ending for all of us," she said in a gentle voice.

Her voice was audible to every human and soul beast on the entire battlefield, but they were still completely unable to move, and it was as if this entire world had been sealed by her.

Tears instantly began to flow down Tang Wulin, and his entire body was trembling from the agony that was spearing through his heart. [Pun intended.]

Gu Yuena heaved a faint sigh as a burst of nine-colored light erupted from above her, encompassing Tang Wulin's entire body, and even with his powers, he was instantly immobilized. It was the Dragon God's core that had rooted him to the spot, and only now did he realize that if Gu Yuena had actually intended to kill him, she could've easily done so at the start of the battle with the help of the Dragon God's core.

Everything that she had done had been designed to lure him into landing that fatal blow on her.

Gu Yuena's expression remained as peaceful as ever, as if she were merely engaged in a normal conversation with Tang Wulin.

The two of them were separated by the length of the Golden Dragon Spear, and she was smiling this entire time.

There was no pain in her eyes; only boundless love for the man that she was appraising.

"Wulin, only now, in this very moment, can I truly allow myself to love you to my heart's content. You've asked me many times if I love you or not, and I've given you mixed replies, but only now can I declare to the entire world that I love you."

She slowly raised her left hand to display the blue ring on her ring finger as she continued, "On that day, when you proposed to me, I was overcome by so much emotion. In the instant you put this ring on my finger, I was already your wife, and I'm only ever going to be your wife. In the end, it was Na'er who won. She may have lost the bet, but at that point, I knew that I had already fallen hopelessly in love with you. I tried to resist, and I even tried to kill you on more than one occasion, but I couldn't do it, and I only sank deeper and deeper.

"I can't even tell you the exact moment I fell in love with you. Perhaps it was after I found out what you had done for all of the dragon skeletons in the dragon tomb, or perhaps it was during that period of time when I had suffered from memory. Maybe it was on the Sea God Fate Match-making Convention, where you forced me to admit my feelings for you, or perhaps it was none of those times; perhaps our fate had already been sealed the first time we met, regardless of whether it was your first meeting with Na'er or your first meeting with Gu Yue.

"Perhaps this tragedy was destined to happen from the very beginning; even if that's the case, I'll accept that. I have to admit that your father is the wisest person I've ever met; as expected of the leader of the godkings. His 10,000-year-long plan restored vitality to the Douluo Continent and ensured that this world would be able to enjoy peace and prosperity for at least 10,000 more years. The courage and wisdom required to pull off something like this are truly extraordinary, and we are all far too insignificant compared with him.

"I don't have his wisdom, so I couldn't think of a solution to our problem, a way to settle tens of thousands of years of hatred between our two races. In the end, I am the Silver Dragon King, a part of the Dragon God, and the leader of the soul beasts; it could be said that all soul beasts evolved to the point that they have today due to the effect of my aura. The human race has constantly been slaughtering my people, and this vendetta is not something that can be overcome by our love, even though we're both standing at the pinnacle of our respective races.

"I thought long and hard to try and find a solution, hoping that there would be some glimmer of hope that would allow us to be together. I considered abandoning my duties and my people to be with you. As long as you loved me, I was prepared to live in seclusion with you under adopted aliases and spend the rest of my life doing nothing but love you."
