Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Qin Xiuyue felt as if her two swords were being pulled by something, involuntarily deviating from their original trajectory.

The left-hand sword cleaved through the air.

The right knife stab went astray.

Her body also leaned slightly forward due to the excessive force, revealing a very brief opening.

Yan Ning's blade stopped at the side of her neck, less than a millimeter from her skin.

"Two moves," he said.

Qin Xiuyue froze.

She looked down at the blade on her chest, then looked up at Yan Ning's face.

His expression was calm, without any smugness or mockery, and even carried a hint of appreciation.

"you…"

Qin Xiuyue's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Just what is your strength?"

"Beginner War God Warrior, Beginner War God Spiritualist."

Yan Ning sheathed his sword and took two steps back. "But his actual combat strength is probably above the intermediate-level War God, but below the Planetary Rank."

Qin Xiuyue remained silent for a long time.

She remembered what her grandfather had said: "This young man is no ordinary person."

At the time, she thought her grandfather was exaggerating.

How strong can a 28-year-old beginner war god be?

She was already a mid-level War God at the age of twenty-eight. In terms of talent, she was no less than anyone else!

But now she knows.

Talent and ability are two different things.

this person.

It cannot be measured by common sense.

"I lost."

Qin Xiuyue sheathed her short sword, her voice calm, but a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

It's not just because of losing.

Winning and losing are common occurrences; she can afford to lose.

It was because she had just met someone her own age who was so strong that she had no chance to fight back.

Yan Ning looked at her and suddenly said, "You're very strong."

Qin Xiuyue raised her head and looked at him.

"Your speed, strength, and skill are all top-notch."

"The coordination between your two swords is unmatched by anyone I've ever met. I only benefit from the advantage of my martial arts technique; my swordsmanship happens to be the perfect counter to your dual swords."

What Yan Ning said was true.

"Nine Blades of Meteorite Ink" is a secret technique of the Hengxing rank.

Even at the beginner level, it is still far superior to martial arts skills at the level of a war god.

If Qin Xiuyue also possessed a cultivation technique of the same level, it would be difficult to say who would win.

But who told him to have a cheat code?

Qin Xiuyue looked into his eyes, trying to find a trace of hypocrisy or perfunctoriness in his expression.

But she couldn't find it.

"You're quite the smooth talker." Qin Xiuyue's lips curled up slightly; it was the first time she had smiled all day.

Yan Ning laughed as well: "It's not that I'm good at talking, it's that I'm just telling the truth."

Qin Xiuyue sheathed her short sword, walked to the edge of the arena, and put on her trench coat.

With her back to Yan Ning, she remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I won't go back on my promise."

Yan Ning was stunned for a moment:

"What?"

Qin Xiuyue turned around, looked at him, her gaze clear and open:

"You win, I'll marry you."

Yan Ning was momentarily speechless.

To be honest, he was more inclined to believe that the other party was just joking, and Yan Ning himself didn't take it too seriously.

He was even prepared for a long-term commitment.

after all.

This kind of proud woman will not easily bow her head, even if she loses.

So Yan Ning's initial plan was to take it slow, get to know each other first, then get to know each other, and then cultivate feelings. He didn't expect Qin Xiuyue to skip all the steps.

"Aren't you going to reconsider?" Yan Ning asked tentatively.

"What are you considering?"

Qin Xiuyue raised an eyebrow. "I, Qin Xiuyue, keep my word. If you beat me within three rounds, I'll marry you. You won in two moves, so I have no reason to back out."

She paused, then added, "Of course, the wedding can be postponed, but since I've said I'll marry you, I won't consider anyone else."

Yan Ning looked into her eyes.

"it is good."

"Let's start as friends first, there's no rush for the wedding."

Qin Xiuyue looked at his hand and this time did not refuse.

She reached out and grasped his hand; his palm was warm and strong.

"Friends," Qin Xiuyue nodded, "and then... engaged couples."

Yan Ning chuckled.

Qin Xiuyue glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"They're laughing at my good luck," Yan Ning said. "I came to the airport to pick someone up, and I ended up picking up my fiancée instead."

Qin Xiuyue's face flushed slightly.

But he quickly reverted to his indifferent expression.

Don't get cocky.

"Even though I'm married to you, it doesn't mean I'll listen to everything you say. I have my principles and my bottom line."

"understand."

Yan Ning nodded. "I also have my principles and bottom line. We can work things out gradually."

Qin Xiuyue glanced at him, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, but she didn't say anything more.

The sun was shining brightly outside when the two walked out of the training hall.

Yan Ning walked in front, with Qin Xiuyue following half a step behind him.

The two shadows overlapped on the ground, like a painting that had just been started.

"Oh, right."

Yan Ning suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does your grandfather know about our bet?"

"have no idea."

Qin Xiuyue said, "But you should have guessed it. He understands me and knows how I will test you."

Yan Ning nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time.

The communication watch vibrated.

It's news from Qin Mufeng.

[Kid, did Yueyue cause you any trouble?]

No, Miss Qin is very nice. We are getting to know each other...

After sending the message.

Yan Ning glanced at Qin Xiuyue.

She was looking at the distant sky, her profile bathed in soft sunlight, her long hair blowing in the wind, a few strands brushing against her cheeks.

Yan Ning withdrew his gaze and silently said to himself:

"Take it down!"

The sun was warm in Nanjiang Base City, the wind was gentle, and the light patterns on the sky flowed slowly like ripples on water.

In the distance, the streets were bustling with traffic, and people wore peaceful smiles on their faces.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

......

But in the Great Northern Wilderness, thousands of miles away.

Deep within the seclusion chamber.

The silver aura surrounding Li Chongshan grew stronger and brighter.

His brows were furrowed, and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he were enduring immense pain.

But those silver halos were seeping into his brow, gradually transforming his mental power.

I'm just one step away from becoming a planetary-level mental master.

Outside the closed-door area.

Li Qingyue stood quietly, her gaze passing through the heavy alloy door, as if she could see her husband inside.

"Soon."

"Wait a little longer."

"Yifeng, Mom will avenge you!"

At this time.

An encrypted message popped up:

[Madam, Yan Ning picked up a woman at Nanjiang Airport. Her identity has been confirmed: Qin Xiuyue, Qin Mufeng's granddaughter.]

Li Qingyue's pupils contracted slightly.

Qin Mufeng's granddaughter.

If Yan Ning and the Qin family were to form a marriage alliance...

"We can't wait any longer."

"We must get rid of him before he marries into the Qin family!"

Li Qingyue turned and walked towards the communications room, her fingers rapidly swiping across the screen as she issued command after command.

Even Li Chongshan's breakthrough to planetary level is not guaranteed.

We have to take a risk and try something else!
