Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

As I listened to her explanation, I gradually pieced together the whole story.

Qian Shui was originally unaware of Qian Renxue's feelings for him, and even less understood his own heart, but now he does!

He has a girl who loves him deeply and values ​​him more than anything else!

He thought of many things, just as the millennia-old knowledge of Earth had once caused him immense frustration in his studies. Yet, in this world, it filled him with pride, and at the same time, it deepened his understanding. But the more he learned, the more painful some things became.

The further he went, the more powerless he felt. Sometimes he really wanted to just pick up the sickle and hammer, but this was a fantasy world! "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" What a joke! That saying doesn't apply in this world!

The greatest counterexample in the world is right here in his arms!

In a fantasy world, the collapse of one's worldview is equivalent to the collapse of one's Dao heart!

"The root of suffering is the lack of unity of thought. No matter how strong a person is, there will always be things they cannot obtain."

People are only interested in material things because only tangible things seem valuable. Whether it's cultivating immortality or acquiring rare treasures, or dealing with people, they always have to calculate the pros and cons. Taking things by force is nothing more than a matter of self-interest...

"But what I can't accept is being ignored!"

They disregard the suffering of the people for the sake of profit!

Besides, I saw it with my own eyes!

Xiaoxue, do you understand? Even from the most rational perspective, the most stable way to gain control of an entire country is to obtain the support of the most people.

By then, neither Heaven Dou, Star Luo, nor Spirit Hall will matter anymore.

Because what is considered "public good" is actually "private good"! Your interests represent the largest portion of the interests!

"But whether it's private or public affairs, I can't do it well, so I won't want any power, because I can't bear that weight!"

So I'll take the middle ground and be a free and easy, ordinary person like most others!

"So Xiaoxue, I understand my feelings! I love you! And I know you love me too!"

But regardless, I hope you understand that these are the fundamental aspects of things that I cannot change!

I wish to win the heart of one person! Regardless of past or present lives, love is the hardest thing for Qian Shui to obtain, yet it has arrived unexpectedly.

Stubborn, free-spirited, not demanding, striving to get closer to him, accommodating him—this is Qian Renxue, fragile yet strong!

She's just too good! So good it's unreal! So unreal that Qian Shui feels unworthy of her!

The harsh realities of life on Blue Star made Qian Shui's sincerity increasingly fragile.

Just like being in darkness for a long time, light may not be the cure!

"Xiaoxue, I don't know how to respond to you! I have nothing! I'm arrogant, stubborn! I'm unkempt, not good-looking, and I don't know how to make people happy..."

"I know, I know, I know everything!" Faced with Qian Shui's utter helplessness, Qian Renxue smiled, "Little Shui, you're so insecure~"

"Impossible!" Qian Shui blurted out as fast as he could, but what he saw was Qian Renxue tilting her head and smiling slightly.

"Such a thing! You...I...I won't...It's impossible for me to feel inferior!" Facing the most talented person in the world, such words naturally sound somewhat powerless, and a sense of inferiority is inevitable. But! A man's pride!

But why be so arrogant in this situation?

"Okay, I admit it!" Qian Shui succumbed to Qian Renxue's head tilt, "There's... a little bit... I guess..."

He admitted defeat! Qian Renxue had never seen Qian Shui admit defeat before. Even when he was a child, he would get a lot of bumps on his head from her beatings, but she never saw him utter a sound. He would always go about doing other things as if nothing had happened.

Qian Shui's surrender was rather adorable! Qian Renxue hugged Qian Shui tightly again, "Don't think about anything! I'm right here! Little Shui, I'm right here, I'm willing!"

If love is a war, then Qian Shui has been utterly defeated.

Whoever confesses first loses? Kaguya ruined my life!

Chapter 113 Entering the City of Slaughter

Taking a deep breath, Qian Shui slowly broke free from the softness that seemed to be trying to melt him into it.

"Xiaoxue, the road ahead is long and arduous. The future may not be smooth sailing. Strength may not be that important, but without strength, everything is in vain, regardless of the will of the weak."

If this were on Earth, Qian Shui would probably have gotten married to Qian Renxue on the spot. But this is Douluo Star, a real jungle, like golden liquid!

"Xiaoxue, there are some things I must do. I understand your feelings, but in order to avoid future regrets, I must break free from my predetermined fate! I must possess absolute power!"

Tragedy can be caused by internal factors or external forces, and it is his responsibility as a man to avoid these!

"So! Please wait for me! I will definitely come back! I will stand by your side without hesitation! I will protect you from everything!"

'No matter what, it's just a fantasy floor tile! I refuse to believe it!' Qian Shui didn't say these words out loud.

"Stubborn as always~" Qian Renxue thought, perhaps her stubbornness back then was also related to the influence of Qian Shui's personality.

"Here you go!" he said, stuffing the Soul Ring into Qian Shui's hands.

Having retrieved her belongings, Qian Shui was so embarrassed she felt she had to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

'Aaaaaah! What an idiot! What a complete idiot! Are you out of your mind?! Is this a second bout of chuunibyou?!...'

A change in mindset has rendered his previous actions utterly reckless—abandoning everything to return to the Spirit Hall? All for the sake of punishing criminals? Is he suffering from some serious illness?

Qian Shui chuckled awkwardly, trying to change the subject: "This ring is really as beautiful as ever, haha, no wonder you picked it! Haha, ha~"

"Humph, it's good to know!"

He instinctively wanted to hang it around his neck, but Qian Shui stopped; he felt it was time to put it on.

"Left ring finger?"

"Yes, it means married."

"Who, who wants to marry you!"

She's just a young girl; now that her feet are on the ground, her rationality has returned, hence her tsundere behavior!

"So, who do you want to marry?"

Thirty-six ways to woo a girl on Earth!

"No way, I'm definitely not marrying you!"

Unfortunately, her flushed cheeks betrayed the girl's disingenuous nature.

Following the 100 rules of romance anime, Chisui naturally did what he was supposed to do.

Love can be sweet or cloying, and it can also be awkward. At the very least, the two of them will definitely be sweating because they're rushing around, and they probably won't have time to wash up!

Qian Renxue said, "The little angel must smell good!"

Qian Shui said, "My sword is pretty fast, want to know?"

Even ignoring the awkwardness, the atmosphere was still quite strange.

But at least Comrade Qian Shui has come to his senses and hasn't done anything crazy.

"Xiaoxue, eat the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Originally, with your talent, there probably weren't any immortal herbs that could further enhance you. But you insisted on shattering your martial soul, so perhaps this is just what you need!"

Qian Renxue nodded. She had never thought of eating the fairy grass before; as a girl, her love for flowers would never change.

"Ok."

……

She Long and Ci Xue couldn't understand it, but at least they understood one thing: this kid had taken down his young master!

No, it was Qian Renxue who confessed first, and Qian Shui was the one who got won over?!

"Kid, the scent of that flower is truly magical. Does it really work?"

Serpent Spear Douluo remains as steadfast as ever.

"That's the king of flowers, said to have the power to revive the dead and heal the wounded," Qian Shui explained briefly, her eyes fixed on the panting Qian Renxue without moving.

With his intelligence returning, he can think more deeply. Qian Shui's biggest advantage now is his age and the information gap. He can take the lead in many things, and his original plans can continue to be implemented.

The immortal herb is already in hand. Next, I need to obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The remaining task is to acquire the inheritance of the Asura God behind me!

So he absolutely had to go to Slaughter City! Anyway, once he brought the treasures home, he was confident he would be invincible in Slaughter City.

If Qian Renxue chooses to return to Tian Dou, some immortal herbs can be left for her. Returning to the Spirit Hall would be best, but the outcome is uncertain; Qian Renxue might still disagree.

Qian Renxue quickly woke up, "As expected of a divine herb, my soul power has increased so rapidly!"

According to Qian Shui's guess, when the Shrek Seven Devils in the original world absorbed the immortal herbs, some of the effects were probably used to improve the quality of their martial souls. But Qian Renxue is different; her God-given Angel martial soul is at least the strongest in this plane.

Without needing to improve the quality of their martial soul, all points were naturally allocated to leveling up. Combined with their original talents, the resulting bonuses would likely be even more terrifying.

"My soul power has broken through at least level ten, because I've reached the level sixty bottleneck, and there should be further breakthroughs after that!"

Even if Qian Shui had some idea of ​​what was going on, he was still a bit dumbfounded. All his hard work over the past ten years, and all the methods he had tried, had been thwarted. He had finally managed to surpass the opponent by a little bit, but in the end, he was still crushed by the opponent's talent. He couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.

"I can only say that he truly deserves the talent of innate level 20 soul power."

"Xiaoxue, what are your plans for the future? Will you return to Heaven Dou City or the Spirit Hall?"

“Of course I’ll go back to Tiandou City!” Qian Renxue said without hesitation. “This time it’s not out of spite. That kind of obsession is meaningless now. You yourself said that if I cultivate with all my might, I will definitely become a god before I turn thirty! Such talent can be wasted if it can be wasted. Anyway, no one is stronger than me!”

The little angel proudly raised its head, showing itself to its beloved.

"Besides, I promised to wait for you! To stand shoulder to shoulder with you! If you don't return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall doesn't want to be your final destination either. The world is so vast, you need a home, don't you?"

"What did you promise?" Qian Shui always had to argue.

"That's not important! What's important is that before I reach level 100, I will definitely give you a home! A home where an ordinary person like you can have a place to stay!"

"This is my will! Just as there are things you cannot change, so do I! Just as I am destined to become a god, the entire Douluo Continent is my home! As a parent, these are the essential aspects and responsibilities that I cannot change!"

"So, Qianshui! I will wait for you! No matter how many years pass! I will definitely wait for you to come back! Just like the empress in your story!"

"Your family is waiting for you to come home! So you must come back!"

'So, the White-Clad Empress rules the world? Not for immortality, but to wait for your return in the mortal realm? What? You're blonde and blue-eyed!'

Qian Shui chuckled inwardly, 'This flag has been planted; whether I can accept it or not, I have to take it!'

At the same time, he also realized that the person in the iron house had awakened. When the person at the forefront awakened, the broken horn had already sounded, and what followed was only a matter of time.

Qian Shui gave Qian Renxue a tight hug and said firmly, "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, the world is vast, and we will meet again one day!"

"May the Great Emperor soon unify Douluo Continent and reign supreme over the world! Like the blazing sun in the sky! Let the world be filled with countless worldly affairs! You will remain eternally constant!"

After saying that, he turned around with a dashing air and headed towards the City of Slaughter without looking back!

Now let's start afresh!
