Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 67 From this moment on, we will never meet again.

There was a light inside, but it wasn't very bright, as if the oil had been forgotten to be added after a long time of working on folding paper. Even the oil lamp on the table wasn't very bright.

Therefore, when the young man sometimes looks up to think, the moonlight can shine on his face.

"You're back so soon? Good, I'll go see her after I finish this folded paper."

The young man nodded without any doubt.

A complex look flashed in Yu Long's eyes, but in the end he said nothing.

After a while, the young man put down his pen and followed Yu Long outside. When they reached the square not far from the Crown Prince's palace, he saw that figure.

She wasn't wearing her usual men's clothing; instead, she wore a long gold dress, and her long blonde hair reached her waist and hung down her back.

Even just a glimpse of her back is incredibly captivating.

The young man approached from behind her, a smile spreading across his face. "Xiaoxue..."

Before he could finish speaking, the hot and sharp tip of the sword was pressed against his neck.

There is only one owner of this sword in the world: the inheritor of the Angel God, Qian Renxue.

Suddenly, she turned around, and her long sword was pressed against him.

The young man felt the incredibly sharp sword at his neck, then looked at the woman's indifferent face, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Xiaoxue, are you kidding me?"

The young man initially didn't believe it, but when he met her extremely cold gaze, he lost his confidence.

At this moment, the young man seemed to finally realize what was happening: "You...want to kill me?"

He himself found it hard to believe when he said this. More than a decade of getting along with him made it seem completely impossible, but the harsh reality was right in front of him.

Qian Renxue's eyes remained unwavering, the long sword in her hand firmly pressed against the young man's neck. With just a little more force, she could slash his skin. "You wreak havoc on living beings and disregard all life. Your evil should be judged."

At this moment, two figures appeared behind the young man. They were Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long and Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue, but the two obviously had no intention of interfering.

They simply stood there, clearly only to prevent the young man from escaping. And the young man realized that too.

A night breeze swept over his body, making his back unusually cold, but it was nothing compared to the coldness in his heart at that moment.

Having faced reality, the young man gradually calmed down, though his voice suddenly became somewhat hoarse: "Why?"

Qian Renxue's gaze remained cold: "If it weren't for the Angelic Trial, I would never have known that you had done so many heinous things behind my back. So many innocent lives have been tragically lost to your cruelty. You have spared neither flesh nor soul."

Surprisingly, the young man showed no anger. He simply looked up, met her icy gaze, and smiled, "Xiaoxue, you were right. I did deserve to die, but..."

Qian Renxue didn't give him a chance to continue. With the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, she pierced through the boy's chest. The brilliant holy sword was ultimately stained with what she considered to be filthy blood.

But the blood just wouldn't dry...

The Angelic Sword was a divine weapon, and it pierced through the heart without offering any resistance. The youth's life force rapidly faded, and in the blink of an eye, his breath had weakened.

The young man looked up at the woman's face one last time, a flood of memories swirling in his mind, from her youthful, innocent face in her teens to her mature and cold demeanor now.

Time seems to fly by...

It's been so long, but it's finally coming to an end.

The youth's aura vanished completely, yet no corpse remained; his body transformed into dazzling specks of light, slowly dissipating into the air.

Qian Renxue subconsciously reached out, but grasped nothing. She was far from being as cold and ruthless as she appeared; her hand holding the sword was trembling.

Only after the youth completely vanished did Qian Renxue seem to react, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Three thousand strands of golden hair slowly fell to the ground.

Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long and Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes. Yu Long stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness..."

Qian Renxue seemed not to hear, staring blankly at the spot where the boy had disappeared, her eyes empty.

Yu Long felt a pang of pity and turned to look at the bright moon in the sky, which was now obscured by clouds and mist. He let out a heavy sigh.

Your Highness, everyone has the right to judge him, but you alone do not.

After a long while, Qian Renxue slowly rose. Her posture remained upright, but her usually resolute gaze now held a hint of confusion and pain. She sheathed the Angelic Holy Sword, the crimson bloodstain on it particularly glaring in the moonlight. Qian Renxue subconsciously wiped the blade, but the bloodstain was like a brand, impossible to remove.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice..."

From that time on, he was no more.

Only the night wind swept through the Crown Prince's palace, entering through the open windows and blowing on the few folded documents that had just been processed, the still-wet handwriting glaringly obvious at that moment.

……

"Time is almost up."

Wu Hanwen glanced down at his watch, his brows furrowing slightly. Of the thirty-six people who had entered the Angel's Tomb, thirty-four had already come out, leaving only two.

This made him somewhat anxious, after all, the Angel's Tomb was about to collapse, and no matter how hard their people tried to hold on, they wouldn't have much time left.

The latest novel is first published here!

Wu Changkong's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze was fixed on the exit.

Just then, a bright light suddenly shone from the exit of the Angel's Tomb, and two figures slowly emerged from the light. One figure looked somewhat disheveled, with dejection in his eyes. The other, however, had a calm expression.

The one who was in a sorry state was Yue Zhengyu. He really couldn't understand why the Angel's Tomb ultimately chose Lin Ci instead of him.

He was clearly the heir of the Angelic Family, the possessor of the Divine Martial Soul. In terms of closeness to the Angel God, who in the world could compare to him? In previous years, the Angelic Family had always reaped the greatest benefits from the opening of the Angelic Tomb. But this time...

"Young Master, what happened?" The old man hurriedly came over to help the disheveled Le Zhengyu.

Wu Hanwen was also somewhat surprised. Although he did not know Lin Ci, he did know Le Zhengyu and knew that he was the successor of the Angel Family.

Judging from his disheveled appearance at the end, it seems he didn't gain the most benefits. On the contrary, the kid behind him looked like the final victor.

Lin Ci also found Wu Changkong and nodded slightly to him.

The two of them didn't linger any longer and prepared to leave immediately.

"Who are you?!" Le Zhengyu appeared in front of Lin Ci at some point, grabbed his shoulder, and stared at him intently.

He now strongly suspects that Lin Ci is his father's or his family's illegitimate son who has been living among the common people. Otherwise, how could he have gained the approval of the Angel's Tomb?

"Get out." Lin Ci reached out and slapped his hand away, her eyes icy cold.

"Young master, don't be reckless!" The old man came to Le Zhengyu's side at this moment and hurriedly pulled him back.

Wu Changkong looked at the two of them coldly: "What is it?"

Although Wu Changkong was always strict in his teaching, he was also extremely protective of his students. At this moment, he looked as if he might take action at any moment.

The old man glanced at the other Soul Masters looking over nearby, clearly not wanting things to escalate, and hurriedly pulled Le Zhengyu away into the distance.

If word gets out, it will seem like their angelic family is a sore loser. They're questioning others without even getting the biggest benefit from the Angelic Relics.

Lin Ci glanced one last time at the collapsed little world behind him, a myriad of emotions hidden deep in his eyes. He had actually already let go of most of it.

Whether it's the tomb of angels or not, I just hope we never see it again.

Qian Renxue's reason for killing the protagonist wasn't solely due to the Angel God's test. On another front, the Angel God told her that if she didn't kill him, the protagonist, burdened by karmic energy, wouldn't be able to reincarnate. Of course, Qian Renxue, undergoing the divine test, was also influenced by the concept of justice to some extent. Her plan was to kill the protagonist, ultimately become the true Angel God, find his reincarnation through the divine realm, and bring him there. However, she didn't anticipate that the protagonist was a conqueror, and even as the Angel God, she couldn't find his soul.

The reason why the protagonist never doubted the affection level in the romance system actually stems from this: when he was trying to win over Qian Renxue, the affection level was very low, but before that, the two had a very good relationship and were almost ready to sleep together. So at that time, the protagonist questioned the system, but the system firmly believed that it was right. Then, unexpectedly, Qian Renxue pulled this trick at the end. From then on, the protagonist never doubted the affection level again.

Of course, Qian Renxue's storyline is not over yet, and it will be explored again later in the book.
