Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"Sir, after selection, the Zero Warehouse is now equipped with outdated high-explosive soul-guided shells, which are bound together using a fixed-base clustering method to ensure that they cannot be contained in large quantities by storage soul-guided devices. Furthermore, our people have calculated multiple times that this explosion will primarily have a vertical effect and will not have a significant overall impact on Mingdu City."

Kong Tianxu listened quietly, recalling the words he had spoken with Ye Nongfeng earlier.

"Seven the Blood Burner? What are his effects?"

"It's a delayed-acting destructive ray, specifically targeting invincibility and defensive skills. Besides its inherent destructive power, its blood-evaporating effect depends on how long the Soul Master's invincibility skill withstands its attack. The longer the fight lasts, the higher the degree of fusion between the ray and the Soul Master's blood. Once hit, the Soul Master will first experience burning pain. If they don't receive timely life force replenishment, their blood will evaporate completely within six hours at most, and then—"

Ye Nongfeng revealed a mysterious smile.

Kong Tianxu raised his head and looked up at the night sky.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

It's almost time.

Kong Tianxu waved his hand, and walked alone into the darkness, facing the falling snow and moonlight.

……

Wang Qiu'er walked alone in the darkness.

She couldn't remember how long she had walked or where she had ended up; she just had a vague feeling that she absolutely couldn't stop.

Jiang Nannan was certainly aware of the invincible golden body effect, but as an imperial auspicious beast, she had a strong premonition of danger to herself and others. At the moment when Gu Tong released that blood-red ray from his eyes, she actually experienced a rare feeling of sudden cardiac arrest.

At that moment, without even thinking about what kind of power that ray was, she followed her intuition and saved Jiang Nannan.

Now it seems—

A few cold snowflakes fluttered down, landing on the blade of the golden dragon spear and on Wang Qiu'er's delicate neck. With each slight movement of hers, not a single one melted.

Stupid.

Wang Qiu'er smiled bitterly.

……

"Then?"

"Then my whole body started to feel cold, and the feeling of weakness grew stronger and stronger."

Kong Tianxu stretched out his fingers and gently brushed them across the cool wall. Several crooked marks continued to extend in front of his palm.

……

"Boom-"

The Golden Dragon Spear fell to the ground, and Wang Qiu'er was pressed against the cold wall, unable to maintain her standing posture.

But she continued to move forward with difficulty, little by little, stubbornly and tenaciously.

She didn't know where she was going, she just didn't want to stop.

I don't want to stop thinking about those looks, those words.

Since the end of the competition, the wound on her back has been burning with pain. Without even looking, she knows that her shoulder must be charred black.

Even worse, the burning sensation was gradually turning into a cool feeling. A strange, pale golden light began to emanate from my body.

Her blood was almost burned off.

……

"Finally, the Soul Master will be utterly defeated—"

"I see."

Kong Tianxu stood up and refused to listen any further.

The memory abruptly ended.

He walked into the alley corner.

Amidst the pure white snow, the delicate young girl was enveloped in a pale golden glow.

……

Wang Qiu'er collapsed in the snow.

The feeling of exhaustion intensified, and her life force was constantly draining away. She could have contacted Di Tian, ​​or released Shrek's signal flare, but she didn't.

She simply raised her head and looked up at the night sky above.

Compared to the sky in the Starry Sky Forest, which I've grown tired of seeing, the moonlight here is round and gentle.

"Why are there no stars..." she murmured silently.

"Chichi."

The sound of snow being crushed.

With her last bit of strength, she turned her eyes to look.

A dimly lit place.

He came through the snow.

Then, fireworks burst forth behind him.

Kong Tianxu squatted down and stuffed the cyan-gold coins in his hand into Wang Qiu'er's mouth.

"To share in your joy."

Chapter 289 Queen Qiu'er of Puxin

"Ugh~ Hmm~ Hmph—"

Her vision grew increasingly blurry. Faced with those warm, soft fingers that gently parted her pale lips and pearly teeth, Wang Qiu'er could only rely on her remaining consciousness to utter weak, incoherent resistance.

Then, like a cub of a soul beast, she used her delicate tongue to entwine around the crystallized pure life force formed from the gold of life.

On her forehead, the magic runes on the golden trident flickered rapidly, and Wang Qiu'er's whole body gradually radiated a light golden, flame-like glow. The brilliant and vast halo continued to spread outward, as if it were trying its best to resist something.

But all of this was obviously in vain in front of Kong Tianxu. A purple-gold mark lit up on his forehead, and in the blink of an eye, the pale golden halo that enveloped Wang Qiu'er was suppressed by him, and his fingers broke through it.

Wang Qiu'er felt as if a huge life force surged into her body in an instant, and then she knew nothing more.

Uh, this...

Is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of the Emperor, so dependent on its own blood that it simply fell asleep immediately?

It seems I'll have to pick up the corpse again today.

Although she is an old lady who is over ten thousand years old.

Kong Tianxu slowly and forcefully pulled his index finger out, looked at the girl curled up in the snow like a small animal, and scratched his head with some difficulty.

"However, this hair color is quite nice."

He ruffled Wang Qiu'er's long hair, which was dyed the same color as the pale golden flames on her body, and arranged it into a bird's nest shape before nodding in satisfaction.

Kong Tianxu lifted Wang Qiu'er's soft, snow-covered body into his arms and slowly disappeared into the snow.

The Golden Dragon Spear followed him closely, little by little.

Snowflakes fell softly, drifting over the scattered yet ultimately converging footprints, quickly obscuring all traces of their existence...

-----------------

Wang Qiu'er felt dizzy and lightheaded.

She vaguely remembered that it seemed like a pair of strong arms lifted her up, and that embrace was warm and reassuring.

In this warmth, she felt as if she had been placed in a very comfortable place to lie down, soft and fluffy, making her not want to move at all.

Then, her combat boots were taken off.

A pair of equally warm hands first unfastened the clasp at the back of her waist, then moved downwards, removing her pair of dragon scale bodysuit stockings.

Even the accidental touch between her fingertips and skin caused her to involuntarily tense up, and she even seemed to twitch slightly a few times.

But those hands remained perfectly still, precisely and steadily peeling her away from the completely soaked battle suit.

The entire process was completed seamlessly, as if it had been rehearsed hundreds of times, clearly demonstrating the expertise of a seasoned professional.

Finally, the hands rested on her back, on the area where a burning sensation still lingered.

A ticklish, tingling sensation came over me and gradually became clearer.

Who exactly is it?

A figure suddenly entered my mind, and behind him, fireworks filled the sky as brilliantly as stars.

It's him? !

Wang Qiu'er suddenly opened her eyes.

The familiar floor.

An unfamiliar posture.

Wang Qiu'er curled her toes.

I wasn't wearing socks.

"You're awake."

That sound!

Wang Qiu'er turned around abruptly, and sure enough, Kong Tianxu's large hands were gently rubbing something on her shoulders.

"You...!" Wang Qiu'er's pupils constricted sharply. "Let me go!"

Realizing her situation, she immediately struggled violently and instinctively tried to get up.

But the force coming from her back was like an infinitely bouncy ball. Wang Qiu'er felt that as soon as her body was freed from the pressure below, it was instantly suppressed back by a force that was only slightly stronger but completely impossible to resist.

Wang Qiu'er lowered her voice and said, "Let me go."

"I'm applying medicine to you, don't move, or you'll expose yourself." Kong Tianxu's voice was completely calm, as steady as his hands.

Wang Qiu'er was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked down.

Sure enough, as she stood up, the curves that had been barely covered by her front of the shirt, which had been compressed, began to reveal their true form.

"you--!"
