Chapter 1484: You Shouldn’t Have Come
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The black mecha’s endurance was acceptable. However, when it executed the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver just now, it was pushed slightly above its capacity. If he had used his own black mecha, there would clearly be no such problems.
‘Mm, this feels great. As expected, the second time is much better than the first.’
Thunderous claps sounded.
Li Zheping walked out of the monitoring area. He was not the only one who was applauding, the other staff members on site were also clapping their hands. The opportunity to witness such a miraculous mecha operation technique had filled their hearts with awe and excitement since they too were avid mecha lovers.
“Your Excellency, that was amazing! Your operating skills took our breaths away. From this day on, the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver will be written down in history books. Now, I’ll confirm with you for the last time, are you sure you want to use this name?”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Tang Wulin replied without hesitation.
“Alright.”
Tang Wulin had to complete a series of signatures and registrations following this and then he received the certificate of authorization. He also received certification as a rank-8 mecha master.
This was one of the many benefits of a powerful cultivation base. If it was not for him being a Title Douluo, it would have been much harder for him to obtain a rank-8 mecha master’s certification.
Li Zheping tried to make him stay again. He hoped that Tang Wulin would join them for a meal. However, there was no way Tang Wulin would be willing to waste more time here. After he promised Li Zheping that he would visit the Mecha Master’s Association more often to consider accepting the various missions, he went on his way back.
After he returned to the Blacksmith’s Association, he went back to his room and made eight soul communication calls. He only quieted down after that.
In truth, the experience in the Mecha Master’s Association was but a small matter to him. What filled his mind more was the small plane of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform which contained many soul beasts.
The meaning behind Spirit Pagoda’s possession of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was too great. This meant that they could earn the favor of more and more soul masters through the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. It would be even more difficult for Tang Sect and even the Shrek Academy to affect Spirit Pagoda in the future. After all, soul masters were still the mainstays of the continent. Whether it was on the Douluo Continent, Star Luo Continent, or Dou Spirit Continent, this had always been the case.
This Joust For A Spouse Festival was more complicated than he imagined. The objectives which Spirit Pagoda had aimed for were being achieved one by one. This was their real plan. It was a devious plan that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect could not stop even if they were out in the open.
Anyone who wanted to inhibit the Ten Thousand Beast Platform’s development would be going against the entire soul masters’ realm.
‘Incredible! This is truly incredible!’
If he wanted to deal with this, he would have to start with the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. However, it was not an easy feat to accomplish.
‘No, I must re-enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform no matter what.’
He suddenly sensed something in his heart while he thought over it. Tang Wulin abruptly turned around and asked with a loud and deep voice, “Who’s there?”
“Your senses are much sharper now,” came a faint voice. A silhouette took form before him as the wisps of sliver light gathered.
Silver hair fell freely and the pair of big purple eyes were glittering as ever. It seemed that the amount of light coming in through the window had dimmed with her appearance.
“Gu Yue!” Tang Wulin exclaimed. At the same time, he took one sudden big stride forward.
He did not expect Gu Yue to look for him here. Before this, he had only seen her in the promotional videos. At this moment, everything he had seen in the videos and the person before him merged as one. The Silver Dragon Princess was right there before him, how could he suppress his own emotions?
Gu Yuena raised an arm and a layer of silver light was erected before herself. It blocked the incoming Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin was stunned. They locked eyes and stared at each other. Under Tang Wulin’s scorching stare, a flash of fluster suddenly appeared in Gu Yuena’s initially cold gaze.
“You shouldn’t have come.”
“Why?” Tang Wulin asked with a deep voice. It was a question with double meaning. He seemed to be asking Gu Yuena why he should not have come and also asking her why did she stop him from getting close to her at the same time.
Gu Yuena replied with a deep voice, “Can you not see that this is a trap? They’ve already found out about our intimate relationship in the academy. That’s why this entire festival is held.”
“So what if it’s a trap? Do you think I’d not have come if I knew that it’s a trap? Do you think I’d rather do nothing as you go match-making with someone else on Joust For A Spouse Festival?” Tang Wulin’s words were filled with edges.
Gu Yuena said, “You’re the Sect Master of the Tang Sect. You’re no longer representing yourself alone. There are many more responsibilities that lie on your shoulders now.”
Tang Wulin replied with a deep voice, “Yes, I do have many responsibilities on my shoulders. There might be even more than what you’ve mentioned. However, among all these responsibilities, you’re the heaviest one. If I can’t even protect you, then what’s the meaning of me enduring so much pain to cultivate and become stronger? Although I’ve yet to truly stand on the peak of this world, can’t the two of us face all the troubles you’re facing right now, together? Even now, you’re still unwilling to tell me just what kind of burden were you bearing all this time?”
Gu Yuena was slightly stunned. She looked at Tang Wulin who was looking at her with burning eyes and had a strong imposing manner. As far as she could recall, this was her first time seeing him like this. He seemed familiar and alien at the same time. More importantly, she could sense his aura getting hotter by the moment.
The two of them stood there and gazed into each other’s eyes. Gu Yuena’s gaze was complicated. She could not even utter a single word.
Tang Wulin suddenly took a step forward and forcefully wedged himself into the silver light which barred his way. Gu Yuena felt the pressure and could not help but said, “You…”
Tang Wulin took another step forward. He was extremely determined, but he did not unleash any soul power. This was because he did not believe that Gu Yuena would harm him.
The silver light shattered. Gu Yuena sighed softly. In the next moment, she found herself in his scorching hot embrace.
When he finally hugged the person whom he thought about every day and night, Tang Wulin had the urge to melt her into his own body as he held on tightly. Gu Yuena, who was in his embrace, instinctively closed her eyes.
No matter how much or what she faced, they were all insignificant compared to the feeling she felt when she was in this embrace right now.
‘My lover!’ Gu Yuena sighed in her heart. Her eyes instantly reddened. No matter how strong she portrayed herself as in front of the others, she could never keep it up in front of him.
She hugged him tightly and firmly. Tang Wulin noticed with astonishment that she held onto him with much force than he used to hold onto her.
In this instant, he suddenly felt that the fluctuations in Gu Yuena’s emotions were intense. It was as if the passion underneath that ice-cold mask had suddenly erupted.
Just when he wanted to reply or make a comment, her voice resounded in his ears. “You’ll only have true happiness if you forget me.”
His embrace suddenly loosened. She had already turned into spots of silver light and vanished from his embrace.
“Gu Yue!” Tang Wulin loudly cried. He wanted to grab onto her, but it was impossible.
As he looked at the spot on which she stood just a few moments ago, Tang Wulin’s entire aura destabilized. Every clear train of thought in his mind fell into disarray in this instant.
It had only been a brief period from her appearance to her departure. She had only said a few sentences. She could not reject him, but she was trying hard to.
What did she mean by the last sentence?
Tang Wulin was no longer the old Tang Wulin. After a brief moment’s panting, he gradually calmed down.
She was still unwilling to tell him what she was facing. He could imagine just how complicated things must be for her. However, he had to fight for his own happiness no matter what. He had to work harder. ‘Gu Yue, no matter the time, you’ll never escape me.’
Tang Wulin clenched his fists as his gaze became determined.
