Chapter 466: 466
Chapter 466 - Against the Wall
Gu Yue’s face flushed a delicious pink . She wrapped her arms around herself, around the curves that were starting to grow more pronounced . Girls developed faster than boys after all . And like most other girls, she already entertained herself with thoughts of romance .
Never in her life had Gu Yue allowed another boy to touch her . Not even Xie Xie or Xu Lizhi . But for some reason, for some strange and wonderful and mysterious reason, she didn’t mind it with Tang Wulin . In fact, sometimes she even took the initiative . Owing to her dominating personality, she would often separate him from other girls . And Tang Wulin, oblivious to this the first couple of instances, couldn’t help but notice these actions as time passed . As they occured more and more often . He soon grew used to Gu Yue’s hot and cold attitude toward him and her indifference toward everyone else . His special relationship with Gu Yue brought him joy, but deep in his heart he always knew there was some sort of barrier standing between them . He didn’t know what it was, but he knew it existed .
“Confess? Confess what?” Gu Yue asked, her cheeks still rosy and panic flashing in her eyes .
“What do you mean ‘confess what’? We both know what I’m talking about . Out with it . ”
Her fingers played with the hem of her clothes . “I don’t know what you’re talking about . ”
“Really?” Tang Wulin asked, looking straight into her eyes .
Gu Yue shook her head, averting her gaze . “I don’t know . ”
“What is the Dragon God Transformation? You’re the one who said its name, so how could you not know?”
Gu Yue’s eyes glazed over, her mind blanking out in shock . She turned back to face him . “That’s what you’re talking about?”
Tang Wulin blinked a few times . “Yeah . What did you think I was talking about?”
Gu Yue kicked his shin angrily and Tang Wulin chuckled, not bothering to dodge it . He even brought his leg up hopping, exaggeratedly howling in pain .
“That really hurts! I think you broke a bone . Gu Yue, you have to take responsibility!” Tang Wulin said, a mischievous smile tugging on his lips .
Gu Yue rolled her eyes . “Serves you right . If you have something to say, then say it . Don’t just come to joke around . ” She pointed at the door . “If you’ve had enough fun, then hurry up and leave . ”
The pained screams came to an abrupt halt . Tang Wulin’s expression grew serious, eyes narrowing into slits . “What is the Dragon God’s Transformation?”
“I made it up,” Gu Yue said .
“M-made it up?” Tang Wulin gaped at her . “Then that stuff about the first transformation being Dragon God Awakens was made up too?”
“Yep! Doesn’t it sound cool?” Gu Yue said with her hands on her hips .
“You win . ” Tang Wulin rose to his feet and made to leave . Gu Yue didn’t say a word to stop him .
At the door, Tang Wulin finally glanced back . “You really came up with those names on your own?”
“Yeah . ”
“Lying is bad you know!”
Gue Yue snorted . “So childish . ”
“I don’t believe you . In fact, I can tell you’re lying . I see it in your eyes . Good kids don’t lie!” Tang Wulin said righteously, wagging his finger .
Gu Yue arched her brow . “So what are you going to do about it?”
In one quick, fluid motion, Tang Wulin appeared right before her, his hands clutching at her shoulders . She yelped . Next thing she knew, he had her pressed against the wall, his arms on either side of her, a makeshift cage . .
Their eyes met . Tang Wulin brought his face closer to hers . A couple of inches separated their noses . She could feel his warm breath against her cheeks, could smell his unique and masculine scent with each breath . She somehow managed to blush even redder .
“W-what are you doing?”
“Interrogating you!” Tang Wulin declared .
“I can’t believe you!” Despite Gu Yue’s meek voice, something foreign flickered in her eyes . Something bold . It was right there . Tang Wulin’s face, fierce and determined, mere inches from hers . She closed her eyes, lashes splaying like a fan . And she pursed her lips . Faint elemental fluctuations rippled around her, ready to rampage at any moment .
A rustle of cloth . Gu Yue opened her eyes . To her surprise, Tang Wulin had dropped his arms and let out a sigh .
“Fine . I can’t do this . You win,” Tang Wulin shook his head and turned to leave . If she won’t answer, then so be it . She did smell nice though .
“Get back here!” Gu Yue shouted after him .
Tang Wulin glanced over his shoulder . “No . If you won’t trust me, then what’s the point?”
Gu Yue glared daggers at him . “Fine . Leave then . I won’t tell you . ”
In a flash, Tang Wulin appeared in front of her using his newly learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step .
“Tell me . ” He pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at her inquisitively .
She lowered her head in silence .
“Out with it already . You only have to tell me and no one else . I’ll keep it a secret . ”
“Actually, my martial soul is a dragon,” she muttered .
“A dragon?” Tang Wulin’s heartbeat quickened, blood thumping in his ears . His shirt stuck to his back, suddenly damp and sticky . “Isn’t it Elementalist?”
Gu Yue nodded . “Yes, but it’s also a dragon . Control over the elements is just how my martial soul manifests . ”
