Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Is this a black piece or a white piece?

For a moment, Ling Bai was somewhat confused.

"Love should not be interfered with by outsiders!"

If lovesickness and heartbreak had a face, it would surely be as red as a pig's liver right now.

As a staunch advocate of pure love, it cannot tolerate anyone plotting to seize some so-called destiny and splitting its daughter in two. To bind others in the name of love is to defile the supreme ideal of love!

"I know you're angry, but calm down first." Ling Bai offered words of comfort, but in reality, he was stirring things up. "The test that person set up was at the place where Cupid fell, using the power of true love left behind by Cupid..."

"Cupid... He even steals Cupid's legacy, you damned bastard!"

The Heartbroken Red, seething with hatred, remained silent for a moment before declaring in an extremely firm voice, "Take me to the place where Cupid fell. I will absolutely not allow anyone to insult love!"

"He is a deity from the divine realm. Although the rules of the divine realm prevent his true form from descending to the mortal world, sending down a wisp of his divine thought should be possible. In addition, with the divine power left behind by the God of Love, what use is a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast like you?"

The Heartbroken Red Flower clearly hadn't read any military strategy and knew nothing about provocation. The little flower proudly swayed and said, "If it were anywhere else, I would naturally be no match for the will of the gods, but of all places, that guy had to choose the place where the god of love fell!"

Hmph, is there any being in the world who understands love better than me?

If I wanted to, I would have been the next Cupid long ago! Do you think Cupid would recognize him or me?

Upon hearing this, Ling Bai gave a thumbs up with admiration.

The Heartbroken Red Acacia said angrily, "I went to punish the evildoer who defiled love, I did not acknowledge you as my master. You are only slightly better than that bastard, you lecherous scoundrel!"

"What lecherous fellow? Your words are truly awful." Ling Bai chuckled. "The flowers are in full bloom, each with its own unique charm. If I don't appreciate them, it would make me seem like I have no taste."

"rhetoric!"

The Acacia Heartbreak Red sneered disdainfully, its flowers shining brightly, transforming into a delicate white bracelet tinged with blood, which slowly adhered to Ling Bai's right wrist.

Ling Bai raised his hand and touched the ever-changing Acacia Heartbreak Red, only to be told, "Don't mess with me, you scumbag." So he decided not to force the Acacia Heartbreak Red to return to his heart, as long as the flower was willing to do something practical.

Not far from this 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red, there grows another Acacia Heartbreak Red, but its cultivation level is far inferior to the former. It is about 50,000 years old and has not yet developed consciousness.

Ling Bai shifted his gaze from the small flowers swaying in the wind on the Black Stone, turned around and went to the Frosty Ice Spring, softly calling out:

"Snow Emperor."

As if sensing something, the icy white spring water suddenly became agitated, with waves crashing against the lake shore and splashing up. The next second, a flurry of snowflakes fell from the sky.

Dressed in white, her long black hair flowing like a waterfall, she stood in the cool moonlight, her feet touching the cold spring. Her eyes were bright and clear, reflecting the heavens and the earth.

Extreme cold instantly permeated the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, like an ancient glacier. The aura of the two springs was completely suppressed by this terrifying cold and disappeared at an alarming speed, flowing into the Snow Emperor's body in wisps, causing her aura to rise continuously.

Once her soul power was saturated, the Snow Empress descended to earth, coldly gazing at Ling Bai. Ling Bai, seemingly oblivious, approached her, his nostrils filled with her innate, cool fragrance, and a smile curved his lips.

"The fragrance has a unique charm, and its purity is so exquisite that one feels no cold."

Congratulations, you have regained your physical form.

"Get out of my way, or I'll slap you to death."

Snow Empress's beautiful sky-blue eyes revealed an unapproachable aura, a warning of no snow during the Great Cold!

In the past, whether Ling Bai was intentionally or unintentionally teasing Xue Di, she would half-heartedly resist. But this time, when he went to Wushan with Dugu Lin, he actually used her ability to create a bed!

Tolerable or unbearable!

Ling Bai ignored this completely, and took Xue Di's fair hand that shone with a white light. Xue Di was furious, but could only glare at him resentfully, as if she had lost all her dignity.

A cool evening breeze swept across the lake, refreshing the senses. The Yin-Yang Well, bathed in moonlight, shimmered and seemed to be draped in a silver veil, its waves creating a captivating rhythm.

The two walked side by side along the lake, gazing at the magnificent scenery.

"How much has he recovered?" Ling Bai asked.

"I could easily beat you up." Xue Di couldn't bring herself to pull her hand away, but she was still sharp-tongued. "I used the pure spiritual energy of the spring water to create a body, but I ultimately don't have soul rings or soul bones. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, I will still have to return to your spiritual sea, just like before."

Xue Di paused for a moment, turned her head and met Ling Bai's eyes, and said seriously, "I am already very satisfied that this body allows me to fight a battle equivalent to my prime."

Rather than living in your spiritual sea as a spectator, watching helplessly as you surpass me, I would rather be your trump card before you complete your path to godhood, the person you can ultimately rely on.

Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll hold the sky up for you if it falls.

"You're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you." Ling Bai's eyes were full of smiles.

Snow Empress lowered her eyes: "Then, since I've given you everything, please take better care of the far north."

Bing'er's 400,000-year tribulation is about to arrive, and Xiao Bai and Atai's 300,000-year tribulation is also imminent. They are important leaders in the far north, as well as my friends and children. I cannot lose any of them.

"Where exactly is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Cave you mentioned? Bing'er and the others really need the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow."

"I understand, the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow will be delivered before the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Yes, I believe you."

The two strolled through the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Suddenly, the Snow Empress noticed a smaller specimen of the Acacia Heartbreak Red and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you take this Acacia Heartbreak Red with you?"

"It's too small, let it continue to grow."

"Is that so?" Xue Di remained noncommittal. "Through your eyes I saw the description of the Acacia Heartbreak Red in that book. It is a flower of the deepest love and affection, blooming only for true love."

With so many beautiful women around you, why not use that flower to test them out and see who is feigning affection and who is giving their whole heart?

Ling Bai suddenly turned around, without saying anything harsh, but his indescribable gaze made Xue Di's heart stop for a moment.

Sincerity is the least important thing.

"Why!" Xue Di frowned deeply. "Sincerity is the prerequisite for love. Can you tolerate people with impure intentions by your side?!"

Upon hearing this, the Acacia Heartbreak Red pendant on Ling Bai's wrist flashed repeatedly, seemingly expressing his agreement in this way.

"I do not deny that pure, selfless love, where one is willing to die for their partner, is true love. But those who are mixed with impurities and full of doubts, yet still embrace each other, are also a form of love."

This already represents the maximum level of trust we can give to this relationship; even with the deepest love, it can only go this far.

The two had been of one mind and body for many years. Xue Di knew almost all of Ling Bai's secrets and had witnessed every ambiguous relationship. Therefore, Ling Bai was willing to confide a few words to Xue Di. His smile was not very warm, and his voice was clear and calm:

"My future wife will be Ning Tian. I know she must love me, but will that love be mixed with the interests of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Does Wu Feng love Ning Tian?

Does Ma Xiaotao's love have Shrek Academy?

Was Dugu Lin's love a result of delusions caused by snake venom?

I don't want to look too deep, and I certainly won't use the red acacia blossom to test true feelings. Those poorly concealed selfishnesses, those fake smiles that pretend to be over it all, and those many small, sharp hurts are like seaweed lurking at the bottom of the sea. Only by not diving down can I avoid the crisis of getting entangled.

Let's not talk about them. I just tried to pick the acacia blossom and failed, which means I didn't give them my whole heart. So I won't demand that they have a pure and innocent love for me, as long as they don't cross my bottom line.

If we don't expose each other, we can love each other forever.

The Acacia Heartbreak Red stopped blooming, its emotions fluctuating wildly. For a fleeting moment, Xue Di had a bubble-like thought, but the bubble shattered into fine white sand in an instant.

"How old are you? You're so young, yet your heart is like withered wood. You can't be like this!"

She patted Ling Bai on the shoulder and said with a smile as elegant as moonlight and a relaxed and cheerful tone, "What you said is just one possibility. Maybe those girls just like you."

Don't rush to deny things; believe in sincerity, and someone will truly love you.

Looking into those clear, sky-blue eyes, Ling Bai remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "You're right."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a glint of light flash in Xue Di's eyes.

"I want to absorb a magical herb; will you protect me?"

"it is good."

He took out a magical herb from his storage soul tool. The herb was emerald green all over, with three snow-white leaves and a few drops of water in the center, like dew left in the morning.

Longing for you until my eyes are dry with anticipation.

While the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" (望穿秋水露) ranks in the lower middle among many medicinal herbs, it is extremely beneficial to mental strength.

The first wonder of the immortal herb is that it can evolve martial souls and make up for the lack of natural talent. The six-winged angel and the deathly spider king have both advanced to the three extreme attributes and are already close to perfection, so the effect of consuming the immortal herb will not be obvious.

Therefore, Ling Bai chose to absorb the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" to temper his spiritual sea, allowing his spiritual power to surpass that of a spiritual soul master who specializes in spiritual power, thus becoming a flawless hexagonal warrior.

Holding the "Wangchuanqiushui Dew" plant in front of him and tilting it slightly, a few drops of the clear liquid dripped into Ling Bai's mouth. As soon as the liquid completely left the grass, the entire "Wangchuanqiushui Dew" plant withered and instantly turned into dust.

A sweet sensation flowed down my throat, and a refreshing, invigorating aroma filled every corner of my body.

A refreshing sensation spread throughout the body, gradually receding and traveling up the meridians from the limbs and bones to the head.

The Dew of Longing for Autumn Water has a mild medicinal property, unlike the explosive properties of other immortal herbs such as Fiery Apricot and Phoenix Sunflower. It is absorbed smoothly and comfortably. The coolness gradually turns into warmth, and the sea of ​​the mind feels as comfortable as if it is being soothed by warm water. Soul power and mental power seem to become auxiliary agents for the fusion of medicinal effects.

Xue Di stood with her arms crossed, observing Ling Bai. After sensing that everything was going smoothly, she stepped in front of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, gazed at the small flower, raised her fair and jade-like hand, and patted her chest.

However, just before her palm landed on her chest, Xue Di regained her composure and let out a soft sigh:

"Knowing the outcome already, what's the point of trying?"

She clenched her fists, her fingertips turning white, a sharp, persistent pain piercing her heart.

Xue Di could certainly see Ling Bai's feelings for her. She had struggled with this for a while. After being single for 700,000 years, if she had to entrust herself to someone, then Ling Bai, who was of one mind with her and had the hope of becoming a god, was undoubtedly the best choice.

She decided to open her heart and half-heartedly let Ling Bai have his way, occasionally pretending to be helpless while secretly rejoicing in her own charm. Over the years, Xue Di had developed a lot of affection for Ling Bai.

This relationship contains joy, but also the desire to become a god and the responsibility of considering the future of the far north as the ruler of the far north. After all, becoming partners with Ling Bai is like insurance, and the Snow Empress can rightfully ask him to protect the far north. However, this kind of diverse love will inevitably not be approved by the Heartbroken Red of Longing.

"That guy didn't even let the flower bloom, so it's normal that mine can't either."

"He said he doesn't care about sincerity, won't test true love, and won't pry. Isn't it good that we just understand each other without saying a word...?"

"What is this 'Heartbreak Red' thing? Why should it acknowledge my feelings!"

Xue Di's eyes were deep and brooding, changing several times before she finally rubbed her face in frustration.

She didn't know why she was conflicted.

I'm feeling very anxious and can't calm down right now.

She glanced to her left at Ling Bai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the dew of longing eyes, and to her right at the Acacia Heartbreak Red. She cleared her throat, racked her brains, and found an excuse:

"This...this flower is quite beautiful. I'll take it to the far north to grow as a hobby."

Xue Di finally convinced herself, secretly took away the Acacia Heartbreak Red, sealed it with the flower and the black stone into a small ice crystal, put it in her bosom, revealed a satisfied smile, and hummed a little tune as she returned to Ling Bai's side.

An hour later, Ling Bai opened his eyes, which were shone with golden light. He suddenly realized that the world seemed to have become dazzling, and countless tiny changes appeared in his eyes. He saw the strange phenomena contained in every little detail.

Looking up at the distant sky, he no longer saw the sky-covering, turquoise poisonous cloud, but countless tiny particles. Even from such a distance, he could see a turquoise serpent king wantonly absorbing the energy from the poisonous cloud.

Looking at the herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he saw the immense life force flowing within the veins of the herbs. These life forces were of different colors and flowed continuously between the branches, leaves, and petals.

Finally, looking at Xue Di beside him, Ling Bai inexplicably felt that her usually cold and calm, stunningly beautiful face was slightly unnatural.

It seems like there's a strong sense of theft involved.

Ling Bai got up and stretched, feeling refreshed and relaxed. The growth in his mental strength brought him a clear mind and flexible thinking.

Walking to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Ling Bai looked down at the two-colored lake water, which was icy white and fiery red, as if trying to see through the water's surface to the deepest secrets within.

"Snow Empress, would you be interested in joining me on a further exploration?"
