People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Xiao Ling's figure hovered in the void, his gaze looking down.

At the summit of Lingyue Peak, a powerful vortex of battle qi was churning wildly. A torrent of silvery-white battle qi, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, shot straight into the sky from the peak. The vortex was rotating at an astonishing speed, and the energy density at its core had already solidified into a tangible form. It even caused the originally clear blue sky above to be slightly distorted, and the clouds were forcibly torn into fragments, churning and fleeing under the pressure of the battle qi.

At this moment, the entire mountain was enveloped in a layer of visible energy ripples, and even the surrounding space was rippled with fine wrinkles.

This earth-shattering commotion was a celestial phenomenon caused by Little Fairy Doctor breaking through to the Half-Saint realm.

Xiao Ling's gaze swept past the surging vortex of fighting energy, then settled on a beautiful figure in green above Lingyue Peak.

The figure was slender and upright, surrounded by a powerful aura of battle, but not a single bit of it leaked out; instead, it was all poured into the formation beneath him.

As Xiao Ling gazed at the figure in blue robes focused on manipulating the formation, a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes. There was no need to elaborate on the identity of this person; it was none other than Qing Lin, whom Xiao Ling had been separated from for a long time.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling's thoughts stirred, and a powerful wisp of soul force spread out like an invisible thread, instantly enveloping the figure in green.

The instant his soul force swept over, he clearly sensed the surging battle qi fluctuations within Qing Lin's body. Her cultivation had already broken through to the second-stage Dou Zun realm. Although it was not as astonishing as Xiao Yi Xian's breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm, it was still a qualitative leap compared to before.

Xiao Ling immediately understood. It seemed that the Dou Sheng bone marrow he had found in the ancient ruins had ultimately played a significant role in the two women.

Such treasures, containing the power of a Dou Sheng, are a heaven-defying aid in cultivation. They not only helped Little Fairy Doctor open the door to becoming a half-saint in one fell swoop, but also allowed Qing Lin to steadily improve his cultivation, saving him several years of hard work.

At this moment, Qing Lin's fair wrists were flying, her fingertips constantly forming intricate hand seals, and streams of azure battle qi surged from her palms, merging into the array patterns that stretched for miles beneath her feet.

As the formation operated, a light blue light shield slowly rose, attempting to completely envelop and conceal the immense power of Little Fairy Doctor's breakthrough.

However, the aura of Little Fairy Doctor's breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm was too terrifying. It was the pressure that touched the Dou Sheng realm, as deep and boundless as an abyss. Even though Qing Lin activated the formation with all his might, the light blue light shield trembled violently under the impact of the Dou Qi. The surface was covered with fine cracks, and powerful energy impacts would occasionally penetrate the light shield and leak out, causing the distant mountains and forests to rustle.

This scene clearly shows that the concealing power of the formation is somewhat insufficient in the face of the overwhelming breakthrough momentum of a half-saint level.

After all, Qing Lin, who was activating the formation at this moment, was only at the second-stage Dou Zun level.

In this state, forcibly activating a large-scale concealment formation covering several miles was difficult, even though she controlled many high-level snake pets. She could not mobilize enough energy to support the formation to operate at its maximum. Naturally, she could not completely cover up the earth-shattering commotion when Little Fairy Doctor broke through. She could only barely suppress some of the leaked pressure to avoid triggering even greater celestial phenomena.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling immediately took action. In the blink of an eye, the vast spiritual power within his Niwan Palace erupted like a dormant volcano, and a pale silver spiritual light screen instantly spread out, covering the entire sky like a dome, slowly pressing down with an incomparably powerful pressure.

This spiritual force was so strong that it was as unstoppable as the pressure of heaven and earth.

Under its influence, the immense battle qi that Little Fairy Doctor released when she broke through to the half-saint level was like a torrent being choked by an invisible hand. The originally turbulent momentum gradually subsided, and the scattered energy ripples were forcibly restrained, gradually gathering towards the battle qi vortex at the peak of Lingyue. The earth-shaking commotion that had previously shaken the world subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the distorted space around it gradually returned to stability.

Sensing this familiar yet powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, Qing Lin paused slightly in the hand seals, then looked up at the void.

When that tall, pine-like, familiar figure, the one she had always longed for, came into view, Qinglin's tense face instantly blossomed into a joyful smile, her eyes sparkling, and her clear call carrying undisguised excitement.
"Young Master Xiao Ling!"

Hearing the girl's call, Xiao Ling turned around, a gentle smile playing on his lips. His voice, transmitted through his mental energy, reached her ears clearly and softly.
"Qinglin, leave this to me. Once Xian'er's breakthrough is stabilized, we can catch up later."

As he spoke, Xiao Ling's hands continued to move, his fingertips rapidly forming several mysterious hand seals like butterflies flitting among flowers.

As the hand seals were applied, the pale silver spiritual energy that enveloped the sky suddenly contracted, condensing into a semi-circular energy barrier around Lingyue Peak. The surface of the barrier was shimmering with light, and countless fine veins spread and intertwined like a spider web, ultimately outlining a mysterious and strange array.

As the array patterns flowed, they conveyed both the stability of spatial power and the confinement of spiritual power, completely locking Little Fairy Doctor's breakthrough aura within the peak area.

The moment the formation was firmly established, Xiao Ling slowly withdrew his hand seals. Just as he was about to turn around and look at Qing Lin, a cyan sword shadow rushed from the distant horizon, its sound of cutting through the air crisp and piercing.

A gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and he opened his arms.

Upon seeing this, Qinglin's pretty face lit up with joy. With a few swift movements, she darted through the air like a light swallow and flew straight into Xiao Ling's arms. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, carrying a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

The unique scent of Xiao Ling, a blend of faint medicinal fragrance and refreshing coolness, lingered around Qing Lin's nose, making her feel both familiar and at ease, as if it were a refuge etched into her very bones.

Feeling the warmth from the chest of the person in her arms, and the steady, powerful heartbeat, the longing and unease that had accumulated in the girl's heart for so long vanished instantly, leaving only overflowing peace.

"Young Master... Qinglin misses you so much, I think about you day and night..."

She unconsciously took a deep breath, inhaling the lingering scent, then gently pressed her cheek against Xiao Ling's chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and murmured, her voice slightly nasal and choked with sobs,
Feeling the slenderness and dependence of the person in his arms, Xiao Ling's heart softened. He tightened his grip with one hand, holding Qing Lin's slender waist, while his other hand gently stroked the girl's smooth and delicate face. His fingertips, slightly cool, lifted her slightly lowered head, allowing her clear eyes to meet his gaze.

Seeing the lingering tears and deep longing in the girl's eyes, Xiao Ling smiled gently, his voice low and tender: "Silly girl, it's been so long, I've missed my Qinglin baby too."

Having said that, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on Qinglin's smooth forehead, as gentle as a snowflake touching her skin, fleeting yet filled with tenderness. Qinglin's cheeks flushed red from this sudden, gentle kiss, her eyes instantly shining brightly, her heart leaping with joy.

She looked up at Xiao Ling's gentle eyes and immediately leaned in, gently planting a fragrant kiss on his angular face. Then, her cheeks flushed, she buried herself in his arms, clinging tightly to him, unwilling to let go even a little.

Just as Xiao Ling and Qing Lin were embracing tenderly and deeply in love, the strange celestial phenomenon at the summit of Lingyue Peak came to an end.

The originally raging and towering battle qi gradually calmed down like the receding tide. The silvery-white battle qi torrent that had been stirring the sky no longer raged outwards, but instead began to slowly contract and condense, eventually transforming back into an extremely condensed battle qi vortex.

The vortex gradually slowed its rotation, carrying an immense and unparalleled energy aura, and slowly sank down towards the bottom of the peak, eventually surging into a figure sitting cross-legged.

As the last wisp of leaked battle qi was absorbed, the oppressive force of heaven and earth surrounding Lingyue Peak suddenly dissipated, the distorted space returned to clarity, the surging clouds gradually calmed down, and the entire mountain returned to tranquility. Only the faint energy fluctuations remaining in the air indicated the awe-inspiring breakthrough that had just taken place.

Just then, a flash of light appeared on the summit of Lingyue Peak, and a beautiful figure in white leaped out. It was none other than Little Fairy Doctor, who had previously successfully broken through to the Half-Saint realm.

After her breakthrough, Little Fairy Doctor's aura became even more ethereal and otherworldly. A faint, ethereal quality surrounded her, like a gentle breeze blowing through a secluded forest or moonlight soaking a cold pool, adding to her unique and otherworldly charm.

She lowered her eyes and gently twirled her fingertips, feeling the surging, increasingly powerful and refined battle qi within her body, a satisfied smile flashing across her eyes.

A moment later, she subconsciously looked up, her clear gaze piercing through the void, and without warning, her eyes met those of Xiao Ling and Qing Lin, who were standing hand in hand, their figures intertwined.

The moment their eyes met, a knowing smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.

It is a tacit understanding that needs no words, a connection that transcends separation and time, like warm water flowing through the heart, quietly spreading warmth.

Such naturally expressed emotions are more powerful than a thousand words, encompassing all the longing and yearning between them.

Xiao Ling gripped Qing Lin's hand tightly, touched the air with his toes, and the two of them swooped down like a rainbow, landing steadily beside Little Fairy Doctor.

He gazed at the white-clad figure he hadn't seen in so long, his eyes swirling with emotions he couldn't conceal, which ultimately transformed into a gentle smile, his voice filled with genuine satisfaction.
"Xian'er, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Half-Saint realm."

Qinglin's face lit up with joy. She took two steps forward and affectionately grasped Little Fairy Doctor's hand. The slightly cool touch from her fingertips made her smile even wider. She sincerely congratulated her, "Congratulations, Fairy Sister! You've finally broken through to the Half-Saint realm. You're amazing!"

Her tone was full of admiration, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Little Fairy Doctor, filled with genuine joy for her.

"I accept your blessings." Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Xiao Ling, her tone carrying a hint of teasing and emotion.
"However, judging from the methods you used before, I suppose you had already broken through to the Dou Sheng realm by the time you went to the ancient clan, right? I was originally thinking that with my advancement to the Half-Saint realm, I could get closer to you and catch up a bit more, but I didn't expect you to take the lead again and widen the gap even further."

Having said that, she turned her head, her gaze falling on Qinglin beside her. She gently stroked the girl's soft, emerald-green hair with her fingertips, her movements tender.

"I must thank you for protecting me this time, Qinglin. Once the matters of the Starfall Pavilion are settled, I will take you to the Beast Domain to find some high-level snake-type magical beasts to tame as pets. With the help of the original battle qi of those snake pets, plus your own talent and the help of the Battle Saint bone marrow, it shouldn't be long before you can try to break through the Half-Saint bottleneck."

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Sister Xian'er!" Qinglin smiled sweetly, her emerald green eyes curving into crescents. She then turned to look at Xiao Ling, gently tugging at his sleeve with her small hand, her voice soft and coquettish, "Now that Young Master is a powerful Dou Sheng, you must help Qinglin tame some powerful snake pets!"

In the end, Qinglin wasn't really obsessed with taming snake pets. With her Dou Sheng master Yao Chen's help, plus the special ability of her Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, she never lacked high-level snake-like magical beasts kept in her pupil space.

What she really cared about was finding an excuse to spend more time with Xiao Ling, even if it was just traveling together, which would be the most wonderful thing for her.

"Of course." Xiao Ling looked down at Qing Lin's charming appearance, his eyes full of doting affection, his tone solemn yet tinged with a smile.

"When the time is right, I will help you tame some snake pets with the cultivation level of the ninth rank. With their source power to help you, your cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds."

These words were by no means a casual joke. Xiao Ling had already made plans in his mind. The Nine Netherworld Python Clan, one of the three major magical beast races in the Beast Domain of the Dou Qi Continent, is a top-tier snake-type magical beast clan. The clan has three experts with the cultivation level of the ninth rank, and its foundation is extremely profound.

He had already taken this clan into consideration, and once he was strong enough, he planned to take Qinglin with him to the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python. At that time, he would let Qinglin use her Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil talent to subdue all the high-end combatants in the clan.

In this way, not only can Qing Lin's cultivation speed achieve a qualitative leap by borrowing the power of the Nine Netherworld Pythons' origin, but she can also gain a group of absolutely loyal and capable subordinates. Even the inheritance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint within the Nine Netherworld Python clan can fall into Xiao Ling's hands.

"Really? Young Master Xiao Ling, you can't lie to me!" Qing Lin's eyes instantly lit up like they were sparkling with starlight, her emerald green pupils filled with surprise and anticipation. "Even my master has never caught a ninth-tier snake pet for me!"

"Of course." Xiao Ling smiled and ruffled her soft, emerald-green hair. "When has Young Master Xiao Ling ever gone back on his word?"

After saying that, he turned to the side and stretched out his palm, naturally interlocking his fingers with Little Fairy Doctor beside him. The two smiled knowingly, still feeling that familiar feeling.

The three stood side by side, smiling warmly, and strolled slowly along the courtyard atop Lingyue Peak.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees, along with a faint scent of medicine. Laughter and cheerful voices echoed softly in the tranquil courtyard, filled with the warmth and comfort of a long-awaited reunion… (End of Chapter)
