Douluo Dalu 3 | Divine Destruction

Stepping out of the crimson and purple portal and returning to the estate owned by FUG, the First and Sixth Slayer looked around for a few moments. The estate was silent, the servants that took care of it nowhere to be found much like all life within over a thousand meters. 

"How bad is it?" Despite having the utmost confidence that he would get through it, Arlene was worried for him. It wouldn't be quite as bad as the punishment from the universe from a few years ago but Wulin had gone above his limits to stop that spatial anomaly. Luckily he didn't need to use a higher level but it was still bad.

"Not as bad as I expected. My heart will take a while to heal but I should be able to stop it again if push comes to shove." Wiping away the blood on his lips the imposing form of Grace Mircea Luslec literally melted away revealing the young Dragon of Destruction Tang Wulin.

"If it comes down to that, I'll help you. Compared to that mess, my workings with the Spirit Pagoda don't matter." Sighing heavily Arlene's form melted away as well, her crimson hair replaced the familiar silver he adored. It was a risk at first but he was glad he added her to their ranks.

Truthfully, there was little reason for him to add her to their ranks. At least, none that would satisfy him. Her presence was invaluable of course and her gifts were plentiful even if some Slayers ignored them. It was her that gave FUG the ability to create Spirit Souls after all.

But the risks far outweighed the benefits in his mind. Even if it was true that she could now utilize the power of FUG as she pleased whether he was present or not and that she was given a foundation to unite humanity and spirit beasts he didn't like it. He felt as though she was in far too much danger for such meager benefit.

However, that wasn't enough reason to stand against her. There were risks, plenty of them, but she knew that and still decided to become the Sixth Slayer. He couldn't exactly deny her when she was prepared to risk her life for her goals so he simply had to ensure her safety all the while.

"I'd much rather you protect me afterward. We can't have our God croak early can we?" Sending her a playful grin Wulin held out his hand for her. Rolling her eyes she took his hand into her own and led him toward the living room.

"You're so overprotective." Clicking her tongue in mock annoyance she pushed him onto the couch as a bit of petty revenge. Looking down at him with eyes full of twisted joy she made up her mind quickly. "But fine. Since you're oh so weak, I'll baby you."

A shiver ran down his spine at the thought but he wasn't sure if it was out of fear, excitement, or a mixture of the two. The Silver Dragon Emperor had grown mellow as of late but she was still that prideful dragon he remembered. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know what her version of 'babying' was.

"…Alright then, give it your best shot." But, even if he was nervous, Wulin couldn't deny that he was interested in what she had in store for him. He could tell this was probably some kind of prank from the look in her eyes but after that kiss on the train, he had some expectations he couldn't verbalize.

"Don't regret it later." Snickering with a twisted smile Gu Yuena pulled a black blindfold out of her spatial storage tool and placed it on his eyes. After his training with the Body Sect and his naturally heightened senses, he could still easily see his surroundings but he tried his hardest to see as little as possible for her sake. After all, a prank like this was only fun if unexpected.

However, he quickly realized the folly of his actions. He had gotten so used to being aware of everything happening around him that it was almost a bit terrifying to sense nothing at all. If it weren't for her firm hold on his hand, he would have been a little nervous. For some reason, it felt like he had returned to his previous life.

'How many times am I going to stub my toe?' Chuckling softly at the furniture that got more damaged than he did, Wulin gently squeezed her hand. Her hand was so warm, so soft and delicate, and yet it was so powerful just like she was. She was soft and precious, so much so that he never wanted to put her in harm's way, but she was stronger than that. 

"You can stop caressing my hand like that now." Giggling softly, Gu Yuena pulled up his blindfold revealing a sight that stole his breath. Standing before him was the person he chose to spend his life with, the other half of his whole. That in and of itself was quite commonplace but seeing her in the nude? Now that was new.

Gu Yuena was beautiful, he had always known that, but there was something special about her right now. The way her lithe body seemed to personify beauty itself, her budding breasts, the way her hips protruded outward beautifully, her graceful and supple thighs, and even her cute little toes were perfection personified. She was perfect in every way and she was still growing.

"Don't stare too hard or I'll blush." Dropping a stream of warm water onto his head Gu Yuena laughed softly, the melodious sound doing far more to steal his attention than the water ever could. Despite her words, she was blushing but it wasn't as much as he was expecting. He couldn't guess the reason for that but as long as she wasn't pushing herself, he was content.

"You're beautiful." Those words left his lips with such awe that even he felt embarrassed but it was truly how he felt. He already knew he had gotten lucky to have her stay at his side but this moment only further cemented it in his mind.

"Yeah, I could tell." Giggling with her finger pointed down, Gu Yuena only laughed harder at his sheepish expression as he summoned a towel to cover his waist. Shaking her head, she grabbed some conditioner and began to rub it around his head.

Sinking back at her touch Wulin suddenly felt like the aching of his damaged heart was a bygone memory. The way her nails gently caressed his scalp was to die for and, truth be told, he would.

But this wasn't a time to relax, not fully anyway. She clearly had something she wanted to say and so he'd stop himself from making a fool of himself for the time being. After all, she deserved at least that much for standing by a fool like him for so long.

Hey there, hope you liked the chapter.

Not sure how well I conveyed it, but this bath scene is entirely wholesome. Nothing perverted around here, I promise. Well, for now anyway. Who knows what'll happen when they get a bit older and their age stops being a limiting factor. It's anyone's guess~!

If you want more chapters, head to patre*on.com/TrapOverlord for up to 25 extra chapters. It isn't required but it'd be much appreciated.
