Chapter 27 Chen Yan Passively Takes a Beating
After returning from the Dragon Realm, the relationship between the two became strange.

Examples are as follows:

Chen Yan: “That… Gu Yue…” There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, as if he wanted to say something.

Gu Yuena: "What's wrong?" Her tone was calm, but upon closer listening, one could hear a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Chen Yan: "Uh...nothing." He finally chose to remain silent.

Gu Yuena looked at Chen Yan, a complex light flashed in her eyes, with both doubt and a hint of loss.

Gu Yuena: "Are you really okay?" She asked again, with a hint of tenderness in her voice.

Chen Yan: "Really not." At this moment he suddenly became serious, his eyes full of sincerity.

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the next moment, Gu Yuena's expression changed instantly. Her pretty face was expressionless, and the cold and arrogant queen began to show. "Okay, let's go to the battle room."

Wait, Qiudou is so crazy!
Gu Yuena's change almost broke Chen Yan's waist. He was stunned for a moment, then followed her pace. The two walked towards the battle room in silence, one in front and one behind. Chen Yan was nervous, he... couldn't beat her! Gu Yuena was a little angry, why don't you speak up, speak up!

Along the way, Chen Yan felt mixed emotions. Since returning from the Dragon Realm, their relationship had indeed become somewhat subtle. Gu Yuena seemed to hope that they could take things a step further, but he... didn't know how to get along with her because of the change in their relationship.

Before the identity is released.

Gu Yuena: A rich lady, the same age

Chen Yan: A fake young master, a real orphan

After the identity is announced.

Gu Yuena: A cool and arrogant boss, the master of soul beasts, the enemy of the human race, a woman who is many years older than Chen Yan, a truly wealthy woman, and a former God King
Chen Yan: A fake boy, a loser's soul, and a soul master trainee with great potential

After careful comparison of the database, it was confirmed that Chen Yan was indeed swimming in dirt - so dirt that it was falling apart!
The door of the battle room slowly opened in front of them, and the sound of machinery echoed in the empty space. Gu Yuena walked in without looking back, but Chen Yan could feel that she seemed to be waiting for something, perhaps a word from him, an explanation.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and followed him in. Men are like this. Even if others only want one sentence, the longer they wait, the less they can speak.

"You really have nothing to say?" Gu Yuena said with a sullen face, issuing her ultimatum.

In fact, Chen Yan wanted to speak, but for some reason he just couldn't open his mouth.

So Gu Yuena started with a big fireball that could knock down a Soul Emperor. The angle of this fireball was extremely tricky, because... Gu Yuena started with one fireball, which didn't mean she only fired one fireball.

Several fireballs attacked Chen Yan from all directions as Gu Yuena flexibly jumped in space. It seemed that every angle was blocked, and there was no way to hide or avoid it.

Will Chen Yan give up? Will Gu Yuena hit the bull's eye?

The answer is...

A golden light flashed in Chen Yan's eyes, and a golden shield appeared directly in his right hand.

He decided to use it now!

Chen Yan waved the golden shield in his hand and accurately blocked Gu Yuena's fireball attack. The fireball hit the shield, making a violent explosion. The flames spread along the shield, and the air was full of hot breath. But Chen Yan was as steady as a mountain, and he did not retreat but advanced.

He moved swiftly, dodging left and right, and stepped out of the concentrated fire point. But Gu Yuena would not let him go just like that.

The Ice and Fire Heavens were ready. Just as Chen Yan took a step forward, the attack was already in front of him. Looking at the energy ball emitting the Song of Ice and Fire, Chen Yan's pupils shrank. He was too familiar with this thing. It was really a reunion of old friends.

But he didn't want to see it at all, so he held the shield across his chest. With a loud "bang", the light ball hit the shield hard, blue and red flames flashed, and the next moment, a chain reaction occurred, an even louder explosion sounded, and Chen Yan was blown away.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the shield was covered with frost. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face solemn.

The shield is hard enough, but it cannot absorb damage, and it has no function of counterattacking damage. I'm afraid I'm going to lose this competition miserably.

Chen Yan estimated that Gu Yuena at least had the strength of a Soul Douluo at this time, and now he was just fighting against an ordinary Soul Sage. The gap between them was too big.

The fact was just as Chen Yan thought, he was beaten badly. After the performance, he was trembling, with a bruised face and nose, and was helped off the stage by Gu Yuena. At this time, half of his hair was burnt and the other half was frosted.

"Are you okay?"

Gu Yuena asked with concern while using a hair dryer to blow Chen Yan's hair.

"fine."

Chen Yan was wrapped in a bath towel, shivering, but he still forced a smile. He really had it so hard!

A trace of guilt flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She had not controlled her emotions just now and wanted to teach him a lesson for some reason, but it ended up like this.

She put down the hair dryer in her hand and gently hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry." She leaned her head on his shoulder, her voice audibly lower.

Chen Yan felt the warmth coming from Gu Yuena from behind, and his heart suddenly became clear. At this moment, even the pain in his body was forgotten.

What is this for? Chen Yan was a little flustered. He didn't expect Gu Yuena to hug him so closely, which caught him off guard.

It's not necessary, it's totally unnecessary! Chen Yan's body stiffened slightly, he tried to sort out his thoughts, but Gu Yuena's closeness made the heartbeat of this 30-year-old single dog speed up, and even his thoughts became confused. He slowly raised his hand, wanting to hold the little hand on his waist, but unconsciously stopped in mid-air. The inner conflict made him feel warm and a little at a loss. Beast! People can't fall to this point, I have to stay rational (litchi)!
Gu Yuena seemed to sense Chen Yan's entanglement and hesitation. She gently loosened her hand and stood up to face him. Her eyes were full of complex emotions, including guilt, expectation, and an emotion that Chen Yan had never seen in other people's eyes. This gaze was so hot that he turned his head away in just a moment.

"Chen Yan, I know that our relationship has become a little complicated." Gu Yuena's voice was soft but firm, "You are a human, and I am a soul beast. But I hope this will not affect our relationship."

"If possible...I hope we can still be friends."

Chen Yan's heart trembled. He looked at Gu Yuena, trying to find a trace of a joke, but her eyes told him that all this was serious. He took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to break the long silence.

"What about soul beasts? As the master of soul beasts, where should you place soul beasts?"

In fact, this was just a reminder to Gu Yuena of her position.

Because he doesn't believe in sudden intimacy. Everything has a traceable path. You will naturally give what you get.

He can be emotional, but he will always remain rational.

So although his sensibility succumbed, his dominant rationality kept reminding him.

stay awake!
