Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 26 "Ghost Girl" Ling Luochen, Wu Ming and Ji Yang Heart Fire
As the sky grew darker, there were few people walking on the path near Poseidon Lake.

The clear water of Poseidon Lake hits the rocks on the shore wave after wave, stirring up countless splashes. The water waves reflect the setting sun. From time to time, a few green leaves fall from the ancient trees rooted by the lake, then sway and fall on the water surface, and then drift with the waves, drifting to an unknown place.

This is a very artistic scene. No wonder Han Ruoruo said before that she likes the scenery of sunset in the inner courtyard the most. It must be said that this scene really gives people a shocking feeling that hits the heart.

Suddenly, Han Ruoruo seemed to have realized something. She turned her head to look at the shadows not far away. Seeing her like this, Wu Ming and Shu Yan couldn't help but turn their heads to look as well.

The light around them was already dim, and with the dense trees along the shores of Poseidon Lake, apart from the area where the three of them were standing, the rest of the area was basically shrouded in darkness.

Following the sound of extremely light footsteps, a woman with a cool temperament appeared in front of the three people.

Even Shu Yan, accustomed to beautiful women, couldn't help but be captivated by this woman's aloof, plum-like aura. It was a unique feeling, not the kind of heart-pounding feeling you'd associate with love at first sight, but rather a sense of astonishment and admiration. The woman before him, simply by her aura, easily left a deep impression.

Seeing the person coming, Han Ruoruo's brows relaxed and a faint smile appeared on her face again.

"It's Junior Sister Luochen. Why, are you out for a walk too?"

Shu Yan's eyes moved, and he immediately remembered this person's identity.

Ling Luochen, known as the Snow Princess, has the extremely rare element of ice as her martial soul. She is the main soul master among this generation of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Behind Shu Yan, Wu Ming just glanced over here and then turned his gaze back, looking as if he didn't want to see Ling Luochen at all.

On the other side, a hint of surprise appeared in Ling Luochen's cold and indifferent eyes.

She knew Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, and also knew something about Shu Yan, who had recently been shining in the inner courtyard. She had even witnessed one of Shu Yan's battles with her own eyes, and was deeply shocked and touched by the powerful strength and invincible spirit he displayed.

Perhaps only someone like Shu Yan could truly be called a peerless genius… As this thought occurred to Ling Luochen, she had already imagined Shu Yan as her imaginary rival. Now, upon seeing Shu Yan, she had only one thought…

That is to defeat the opponent!
Even Shu Yan himself didn't know that this senior sister, whom he had just met for the first time, had already regarded him as a rival in her heart, and her status was extremely high...

After taking a final look at Shu Yan, Ling Luochen withdrew his gaze, then hummed softly and said in a cold voice:

"Senior Han, you guys chat, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Han Ruoruo to reply, and walked forward on her own, soon disappearing into the shadows in the distance.

But Ling Luochen didn't expect that while she was observing Shu Yan calmly, Shu Yan was also observing her.

What interested Shu Yan the most was her light and graceful steps. That strange gait made her walk as if she had no weight at all. Add to that the dim and deep darkness and her skin that was almost so white that it reflected light...

Hmm… I feel like I’m seeing a female ghost from a ghost movie from a certain island country in my past life…

……

Of course, Ling Luochen didn't know Shu Yan's evaluation of her at this time.

If she knew that Shu Yan said she looked like a ghost, she would definitely rush up to Shu Yan and fight him to the death.

Appearance is one of the things a woman cares about the most, especially for a beauty as aloof and cold as Ling Luochen, who values ​​appearance even more than ordinary people.

If I suddenly heard a newbie say that I, who usually has countless admirers in the academy, look like a female ghost, it would be strange if I didn't get furious...

Only after Ling Luochen's figure completely disappeared into the shadows in the distance did Wu Ming snort softly and then say:

"This girl is still so heartless. I really don't know what those boys who like her are thinking. They chase after a giant ice cube and lick it like crazy every day. They're not afraid of freezing to death..."

"Big sister, not to mention second sister, to some extent, Ming'er, you are even worse off than that junior Luochen. At least she has someone pursuing her..."

As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, Han Ruoruo turned around, glanced at her strangely, and then stabbed her without hesitation.

Wu Ming's face froze. Han Ruoruo's words had undoubtedly hit her hardest. Wasn't it her hot temper that kept her from finding a man? She even had the nickname "Golden Crow Leftover Woman" and was labeled the inner courtyard's two active volcanoes alongside the flame-crazed Ma Xiaotao...

Speaking of which, this is Wu Ming's lifelong pain...

Han Ruoruo revealed her scars without hesitation. Wu Ming said, "Doesn't she have any dignity?"
Looking at Wu Ming rushing towards Han Ruoruo with a sad and angry expression, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In fact, Wu Ming, the active volcano in the inner courtyard, is a very nice person in private, but her personality is a little too hot-tempered, which makes many people dare not to understand what kind of person she is.

After all, a person whose reputation can scare people, could she be a well-behaved little girl in private?

I can only say that the rumor is half true and half false!
……

After playing around for a while, Han Ruoruo chuckled and tidied up Wu Ming's messy hair, then said softly:
"Ming'er, you have to change your personality sooner or later. As a girl, don't be so irritable all the time. If you can't do that, at least you should be calm and rational when facing certain things. You can't act so willfully like before. You're already such a grown-up, but you still cause me so much worry..."

Wu Ming's cheeks puffed up with anger, and after a long while he finally spoke in a low voice:

"Sister Ruoruo, I don't really want to be like this, but sometimes I really can't control myself."

"Sister Ruoruo, you also know that the Golden Crow Martial Soul is inherently extremely yang and strong. The original extremely yang energy that overflows from the Martial Soul has been accumulating within me, and finally gave rise to a heart fire. Over time, even if I try my best to suppress it, as long as the heart fire does not dissipate, my temperament will inevitably be affected by it."

"Sometimes I feel helpless when I can't calm down. Actually, I don't want to be like this... At first, it was quite hard when they looked at me strangely and heard the nicknames they gave me, but later I got used to it and didn't care about it anymore..."

Han Ruoruo also sighed softly and touched Wu Ming's head tenderly, her movements unusually gentle.

Looking at Wu Ming, who rarely showed a weak and pitiful look, Shu Yan was stunned for a moment.

But after coming to his senses, he thought for a while, then said:

"Every soul master will encounter the influence of their own martial soul and soul power attributes on their temperament, but theoretically, this influence is completely reversible. Senior sister, you can try to use some special methods to eliminate or weaken the heart fire. I think this should help you..."

Wu Ming raised his head, glanced at Shu Yan, and said with some melancholy:

"Sister Ruoruo and I thought of this a long time ago. Why do you think I'm so belligerent? It's because I want to vent my desires and anger in battle. At first, this did have some effect, but as my cultivation level increased, the effect of fighting became negligible."

Shu Yan was silent for a moment before continuing:

"Then you can find an ice-attributed soul master or a place with extremely low temperatures to borrow the power of that attribute to suppress the inner fire. I think that should also work."

Wu Ming's expression didn't change much, but after a long while he said angrily:
"Actually, I've approached Ling Luochen before. In the inner courtyard, only her ice attribute can barely compete with my fire attribute. But before I could finish my words, that guy rejected me with the same reason he rejected Ma Xiaotao."

"Just tell me, I'm not asking her to do something dangerous like suppressing evil fire. I just want her to give me a stream of extremely cold soul power. I don't understand why. It's just a stream of soul power, and it doesn't require physical contact. How can it have anything to do with mysophobia? In my opinion, Ling Luochen just doesn't like me. Humph..."

Han Ruoruo also sighed lightly, and then said:

"Anyway, after that incident, Ming'er and Luochen have never gotten along well..."

"Someone in the inner courtyard even took advantage of this and said that Junior Sister Luochen looked down on her same-sex classmates and fire-attributed soul masters. Because of this, Junior Sister Luochen even went to teach that person a lesson personally..."

Shu Yan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he spoke with some emotion.

"There are really all kinds of birds in the forest..."

An inner courtyard with only a few dozen students, yet it was so lively. It was truly... a once-in-a-century melon-eating holy land...
