The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
The snow-capped mountains were utterly silent.
The wind and snow swirled on the mountaintop, leaving a blanket of white on the ground.
"You came to see me so suddenly, surely you didn't come to chat or relieve your boredom, did you?"
A calm voice broke the tranquility of the place.
Yu Qingyuan patted the snow off his body and slowly got up from the snow. He was wearing a plain long robe, but he did not feel the slightest bit cold in the icy snow.
Beside him, a jet-black dog darted about nimbly, sometimes diving into the snow, sometimes leaping up, and finally landing lightly next to Yu Qingyuan, nuzzling his hand with its head.
Yu Qingyuan reached out and gently stroked the dog's soft fur, the movement so natural, as if this were the most pleasant thing in the world.
This scene was serene and harmonious, like an ancient painting.
Not far away, a young girl dressed in a gorgeous glass dress stood quietly; she was Ning Rongrong.
When she saw Yu Qingyuan, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She had made ample mental preparations for this trip.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she is now a Soul Master of over level 20, making her an absolute standout among her peers.
She had assumed that when she saw her former fiancé again, she would be in a superior position, with everything under her control.
But at this moment, she found that she could not see through Yu Qingyuan at all.
He was clearly still that "useless person" who couldn't cultivate, with little fluctuation of soul power on his body, yet just by standing there, he created his own world, as if he had merged with the snow mountain, unfathomable.
Especially the black dog next to him...
Ning Rongrong's gaze met that of the black dog, and her heart skipped a beat.
Those eyes, unlike those of an ordinary dog, seemed to hold a galaxy within them, ancient and profound.
With just a glance, Ning Rongrong felt as if she had nowhere to hide.
It felt as if the dog could see through the flow of his soul power and even the deepest thoughts in his heart.
"What a terrifying sense of oppression..."
Ning Rongrong was shocked and instinctively took a half step back.
How could a person who cannot cultivate, and a seemingly ordinary dog, bring her such a heart-pounding feeling?
What a pity.
A pang of regret flashed through Ning Rongrong's mind.
If he could cultivate, with this kind of demeanor, what an extraordinary figure he would become in the future.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
With this in mind, Ning Rongrong's wavering resolve hardened once more; the purpose of her trip was not to be changed.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, and said:
"Yu Qingyuan, you haven't been able to cultivate for several years now, have you?"
Upon hearing these words, all the past events, like the wind and snow in the mountains, surged back into my mind.
Once upon a time, Yuqingyuan was also a favored child of heaven.
The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was born amidst a celestial phenomenon, with the roar of a dragon resounding throughout the sect.
He and Ning Rongrong had known each other since childhood, were childhood sweethearts, and their marriage was arranged by the two major sects, which was considered a beautiful story at the time.
On the day of the Martial Soul Awakening, everyone eagerly awaited the birth of another powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master.
As expected, he achieved innate super soul power, level 20!
The entire family was thrilled.
But then, when his martial spirit appeared, everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
That wasn't the majestic and domineering Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but rather... a seemingly ordinary black dog.
At first, the clan elders still held a sliver of hope.
After all, innate full soul power is real, and it's possible that it's some kind of mutated martial soul.
However, years later, harsh reality shattered all illusions.
Yu Qingyuan's soul power remained at level 20, unchanged, making it impossible to attach any soul rings or cultivate.
This result inevitably reminded the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan of another "humiliation" in the sect's history.
That martial soul mutated into a pig, and was considered a waste... Yu Xiaogang.
Rumors and gossip spread like wildfire.
The once-proud son of heaven has become a good-for-nothing in the eyes of his clan in the blink of an eye.
Even though he was still the young master, he couldn't escape the contemptuous and mocking gazes.
In the end, Yu Qingyuan chose to leave and came to this remote snow mountain alone, where he stayed for several years.
The snow has stopped.
The wind did not stop howling; it swept across the mountain peaks, swirling up thousands of piles of snow.
As Ning Rongrong finished speaking, an even more complete silence fell over the surroundings.
Yu Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. He simply continued to stroke the back of the black dog beside him.
"My husband must be an unparalleled powerhouse."
Ning Rongrong's voice rang out again, carrying the innate pride of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess, as well as a hint of determination.
"Instead of being a piece of trash... who can't even attach a spirit ring."
As soon as she finished speaking, her aura suddenly changed.
Two bright yellow halos rose from beneath her feet and spiraled upwards.
The soul power fluctuations of over level twenty were released without reservation, causing her magnificent glass dress to flutter wildly.
"Look, Yuqingyuan."
"I am already a Great Soul Master. Perhaps it won't be long before I break through to level 30 and become a Soul Venerable."
And what about you?
Her gaze swept across the snow-covered ground, finally settling on a few unidentified herbs growing tenaciously against the wind and snow in the distance. Her contempt grew even stronger.
"You plan to spend the rest of your life tending to these flowers and plants on this snowy mountain?"
"They have no fighting spirit at all, it's really...despite them."
Yu Qingyuan finally stopped stroking the black dog.
He raised his head and looked calmly at Ning Rongrong. His eyes were clear and pure, like the first snowflakes, untouched by dust.
He smiled, a faint smile, yet as gentle as a spring breeze melting snow.
What do I care about what others think?
A single sentence, seemingly casual, rendered all of Ning Rongrong's prepared remarks stuck in her throat.
She looked at Yu Qingyuan with some surprise.
She had imagined he would be angry, resentful, or hysterical, but she never expected him to be so calm and collected.
It was as if her barbed boasting and belittling were nothing more than a mountain breeze that would blow away and dissipate.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
It was like throwing a punch with all your might, only to hit nothing.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable irritation, and revealed the ultimate purpose of her trip.
"Yu Qingyuan, I've come today to tell you something."
"Our engagement is hereby called off."
The moment the word "give up" was uttered.
"Waaah—"
A deep growl suddenly came from the throat of the black dog beside Yu Qingyuan.
The next moment, the black dog, which had been as docile as a pet, suddenly shone with golden light in its eyes that held the galaxy!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended with a deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and mountains crumbling!
