Chapter 4 What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?
"this..."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and the others were all stunned as they watched Xiao Wu's strength improve by leaps and bounds, their eyes practically overflowing with envy.
The rewards on this list of rare treasures are simply heaven-defying and life-changing!
...
at the same time.
Jialing Pass, atop the city tower.
Unlike the shock and envy felt by the Heavenly Dou Camp, the Martial Soul Empire fell into an eerie silence.
Bibi Dong was dressed in Rakshasa divine armor, and dark purple divine power flowed around her. Her mature and voluptuous figure was full of oppressive power.
She gazed at the words on the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes.
"The Red of Love's Longing? Symbolizing the deepest and most sincere love?"
A self-deprecating smile curled at the corners of her lips.
"Does such a thing really exist in this world?"
For her, love had long been a deadly poison, the root of all her suffering.
But setting aside this ridiculous symbolism, she had to admit the power of this magical herb.
"However, judging from the description, this is indeed an extremely top-grade immortal herb, whose value far exceeds that of ordinary soul bones, and it is reasonable for it to be ranked among the top ten rare treasures."
Standing next to her, Qian Renxue reacted quite differently.
When she saw the words "sincere love", her breath hitched!
Those long, beautiful legs, encased in golden divine armor, tensed up instinctively.
Her heart was pounding at that moment.
love?
These two words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through all the defenses in her heart and instantly softening her heart, which had become hardened by the war.
"This red flower, symbolizing longing and heartbreak..."
Her beautiful golden eyes were fixed on the sky.
At this moment, the outcome of the war, the survival of the empire, all seemed to become unimportant.
In her mind, only a figure dressed in white as snow remained.
That was her master, Lu Ming.
He was the only light in her life, the goal she pursued throughout her life.
Qian Renxue will never forget it.
When she was very young, when she was tormented by Bibi Dong's indifference and cruelty, leaving her covered in wounds and curled up in a corner crying silently.
It was her master who appeared before her and gently wiped away her tears with his warm hands.
It was he who, for his own sake, took action against Bibidon for the first time, giving that high and mighty pope a severe lesson.
It was he who sheltered me from the wind and rain.
He taught himself self-cultivation and how to conduct himself in society, transforming himself from a timid little girl into the angel god he is today.
Although...
Although her master always regarded her only as his most beloved disciple.
But Qian Renxue was unwilling to give up.
She was unwilling to be just his apprentice!
This deep-seated emotion, like the finest wine, grew stronger and more intoxicating with the passage of time.
Thinking of this, two beautiful blushes instantly rose on Qian Renxue's already stunning and noble face, and even her ears became burning hot.
Her heart was pounding like a deer's, and her eyes became somewhat evasive.
Hu Liena, who was standing nearby, noticed her unusual behavior, and a hint of concern appeared on her alluring face.
"Sister Xue'er, what's wrong? Your face is so red."
"No...it's nothing."
Qian Renxue quickly composed herself and forcibly suppressed the pounding in her heart, but the violent heaving of her chest betrayed her inner turmoil.
Her gaze returned to the sky.
The red petals of love bring heartbreak.
She longed for this divine herb that represented the deepest and most sincere love!
Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.
The waters of the Lake of Life are emerald green, and the life energy contained within them is so rich that it is almost tangible.
In the center of the lake, beneath a towering ancient tree, a stunningly beautiful figure leans quietly against its trunk.
She wore a long silver dress, the hem of which spread out on the lush green grass, like moonlight pouring down.
Her long, silver hair fell smoothly down to her ankles, swaying gently in the breeze.
It was a face so perfect it was beyond reproach. In its amethyst-like eyes, the golden sky above was reflected, and its gaze was deep and distant, as if it contained the vicissitudes of eternity and loneliness.
She is the ruler of this forest, the Silver Dragon King who has been asleep for 20,000 years, Gu Yuena.
Her figure was graceful and her curves exquisite; even when she simply leaned against something, she exuded a captivating charm.
Those jade-like legs, half-hidden by the silver skirt, were long and straight, with skin as white as snow, without the slightest blemish.
Her crystal-clear jade feet gently touched the soft grass, her ten toes round and lovely, like the finest pearls.
"The red petals of longing break my heart..."
Gu Yuena parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and ethereal, carrying a faint sigh.
"Such a rare treasure truly exists in the world."
A complex emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes, a mixture of deep emotion and a feeling of reminiscence.
"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?"
A soft murmur, conveying an unspeakable loneliness.
Nestled in her full, voluptuous embrace was a strange little beast, pure white with three eyes—the imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
It raised its head, its golden eyes filled with innocent confusion.
"Sister Na'er, love... what is that? Can you eat it?"
The child's innocent voice broke the momentary tranquility.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but chuckle, extending her slender finger to gently tap the forehead of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"You..."
Just then, several figures appeared silently behind Gu Yuena, namely Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun and other ferocious beast kings.
They bowed respectfully, but their eyes were fixed on the list in the sky.
"My lord, the rewards on this list of rare treasures are far too generous."
It was Brigitte who spoke, the embodiment of the Emerald Swan, her emerald eyes filled with wonder.
"Just being ranked tenth can allow a level 95 Title Douluo to directly advance to level 98, and also comes with a 100,000-year soul bone and an increase in the age of the soul ring."
Xiong Jun replied in a deep, booming voice, his burly body brimming with explosive power.
"Yes, this reward is simply unheard of! At this rate, wouldn't the top-ranked reward be enough to make someone a god?"
The Black Dragon King, Di Tian, as the leader of all the ferocious beasts, thought much more deeply.
His golden dragon eyes gleamed with a thoughtful light.
"Becoming a god might be an exaggeration, but... do you think there might be... a reward that can resurrect the dead?"
Upon hearing this, the ferocious beasts present all held their breath.
resurrection!
These two words carry an immense weight for them.
Gu Yuena's originally calm body trembled violently at this moment!
Her beautiful purple eyes lit up instantly, and a flame called "hope" ignited within them.
