"Let us be companions in this mortal world, living freely and unrestrained; galloping on horseback, sharing in the splendor of life..."
With red lips as a companion, she is alluring; galloping on horseback, she enjoys ultimate bliss.
Paradise is unlike anything in the human world.
When one looks down upon the mortal world from the blissful state, clouds and mist swirl around, obscuring the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, making it impossible to see their true forms.
With a slight movement of the fingertips, the clouds and mist dispersed.
Finally, the majestic sacred mountains and vast plains came into view.
As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.
That's true.
Climbing ordinary mountain peaks can be exhilarating, making one reluctant to leave; how much more so when one encounters the beauty of a sacred mountain.
On the celestial mountain, there hangs a divine fruit, its fragrance refreshing and mouthwatering; picking it makes one's mouth water, and then one indulges in it with great relish, the divine energy gathering at the top of one's head and flowing throughout the whole body.
Feeling light and airy, as if I had entered a fairyland.
Half-awake, half-asleep, I found myself completely immersed in it, how could I bear to leave?
Having feasted on the divine fruit, and savoring the aftertaste endlessly, to eat it again would be to indulge in gluttony, which is only in human nature.
Soon after, he ate his fill all day.
Reluctantly, the Taotie slowly left the mountain, stepped onto the vast plain, and galloped away, leaving only a river of water behind.
After galloping along, Taotie finally encountered a white tiger blocking its path and stopped in its tracks.
The white tiger was languid and resting, its eyes tightly closed. It seemed to sense the power of the Taotie god and was startled awake from its dream. It opened its eyes slightly and was surprised to find that its eyes were wet, as if it had encountered a nightmare.
In a moment of surprise and doubt, they suddenly heard a dragon's roar.
"Aww..."
The dragon's roar shook the heavens and resounded throughout the land.
The dragon had already been lurking nearby. Its head was towering, and when it saw the white tiger awaken, it moved slowly, as if it wanted to compete with the white tiger.
"roar……"
The white tiger trembled and shivered.
Since ancient times, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird have been considered the four divine beasts, with the dragon being the most prominent and the white tiger the next most important.
The dragon displayed its divine might, which instilled fear in the white tiger. However, it could not abandon the dignity of a divine beast, so it welcomed it.
How can we surrender without fighting for three hundred rounds?
"Aww..."
Upon seeing it, the dragon's might surged, and its dragon face grew even more ferocious. The mere white tiger dared not submit to the dragon's might and acted arrogantly.
It's truly a case of a dragon's wrath causing blood to splatter five steps away.
In just one round, the White Tiger coughed up blood and was defeated.
Fear grew stronger in his heart, but the dignity of a divine beast compelled him to push through his wounded body and face the dragon head-on.
In an instant.
The roars of dragons and tigers echoed throughout the canyon.
The two beasts fought, growing stronger with each battle.
As Baihu's injuries gradually subsided, his fighting skills became increasingly adept with each powerful and sweeping attack.
Each time it withstood the dragon's attack, it could easily repel it without causing any injury, which greatly pleased the tiger.
If my heart is free from fear, I am invincible.
The white tiger fought fiercely, entangled with the divine dragon, fearless and undaunted, and even overpowered it.
After a fierce battle, the two beasts exchanged blows, a truly exhilarating experience.
After three hundred rounds, the two beasts were still evenly matched and had to call a truce.
After a short while, they fought again, then rested.
This process repeats itself...
——
Several hours later.
Lu Tao was the first to wake up.
Seeing Shuang'er nestled in his arms like a kitten, Lu Tao felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Brother Lu."
Half an hour later, Shuang'er woke up.
Looking into Brother Lu's tender eyes, Shuang'er shyly shrank further into the quilt, her face flushed.
Lu Tao smiled slightly, "Little sleepyhead, get up."
"I'm not lazy, I'm just a little tired."
Shuang'er wrinkled her cute nose and retorted in a somewhat silly way.
When she mentioned feeling tired, she seemed to remember something, and her cheeks turned bright red. She buried her head in Lu Tao's arms, somewhat afraid to look at him.
"Okay, okay, I'm not lazy."
Lu Tao stroked Shuang'er's back, rested his head on his left arm, closed his eyes slightly, and looked serene.
Enjoy this rare moment of peace.
Shuang'er lay quietly in Lu Tao's arms, her arms wrapped around him.
a long time.
Shuang'er suddenly spoke.
"Brother Lu, Shuang'er feels so happy."
Lu Tao opened his eyes, looked down at Shuang'er with a smile on his face.
Shuang'er rested her chin on Lu Tao's chest, looked directly into his eyes, and said, "Brother Lu, do you know? Shuang'er almost missed out on you."
Lu Tao blinked, his eyes filled with curiosity. "When? How come Brother Lu didn't know?"
With a look of reminiscence, Shuang'er said, "When Brother Lu first appeared at our house, I overheard your conversation with Grandpa from behind the door, and I became extremely curious about him."
"At that time, Shuang'er wondered what kind of genius a seventeen-year-old at the Blood Refining Realm must be."
"The moment Shuang'er saw Brother Lu, she developed a liking for him."
"Later, when Brother Lu single-handedly wiped out the Axe Gang, that goodwill turned into admiration, but..."
Shuang'er stopped.
Lu Tao pressed further, "But what?"
"But when Brother Lu passed by the brothel, he wanted to go upstairs..."
Shuang'er muttered, "At that time, Shuang'er felt heartbroken and a little angry."
Lu Tao asked with a smile, "Are you disappointed in Brother Lu?"
"At that time, there was a little bit."
Shuang'er seemed afraid that Lu Tao would misunderstand, so she hurriedly looked up and explained, "It's mainly because Brother Lu was a very tall and imposing figure in my heart back then, unlike ordinary people. His sudden actions were too surprising and disappointed me."
"Hehe, but luckily, Brother Lu was just joking with them. Shuang'er misunderstood Brother Lu."
As she spoke, Shuang'er cutely stuck out her tongue and patted her chest.
However, she then realized that she was exposing herself, so she quickly lay down again, resting her chin on Lu Tao's chest, her pretty face slightly red.
Lu Tao seemed oblivious.
With a smile, Lu Tao asked, "You almost missed Brother Lu over such a small matter?"
"That's not it."
Shuang'er shook her head cutely and continued, "Later, after Brother Lu successively killed the Three Wolves Gang and the woman in colorful clothes, Shuang'er witnessed Brother Lu's talent once again."
"Later, after following Brother Lu to Mufeng City, Shuang'er was amazed by Brother Lu's ability to make money and his speed of cultivation."
"At the same time, it also made Shuang'er realize one thing: Shuang'er and Brother Lu are not from the same world."
"At that moment, Shuang'er felt very disappointed."
"Shuang'er knows that no matter how hard she tries, she will never be able to catch up with Brother Lu, and Brother Lu, you will eventually leave us."
"Shuang'er doesn't want to give up, but she also doesn't want to become a burden to Brother Lu, so she can only choose not to reveal her feelings."
"Silly girl."
Lu Tao affectionately ruffled Shuang'er's hair and smiled, "And then what?"
Shuang'er nuzzled Lu Tao's hand with her head and said with a smile, "Later, when Brother Lu passed on his skills to us, Shuang'er saw hope again, and her dormant heart was rekindled."
Shuang'er giggled mischievously and continued, "Later, when Brother Lu gave Shuang'er the Dust-Clearing Pill, Shuang'er knew that as long as Brother Lu liked it, Shuang'er could always stay by Brother Lu's side."
"Brother Lu, do you think Shuang'er almost missed out on you?"
"Silly girl."
After listening to Shuang'er's emotional journey, Lu Tao was somewhat moved.
He never expected that Shuang'er's feelings for him would be so difficult to overcome because of his actions.
Upon careful consideration...
It seems that Shuang'er truly began to reveal her feelings to him after giving him the Dust Pill, and then began to pursue him boldly, always taking the initiative to hold his arm, whether in public or in private.
That shopping trip was practically a declaration of love.
He hadn't spoken up because of the girl's modesty.
But today, Shuang'er took the initiative, even more so than confessing her feelings.
Just as Shuang'er said.
If it weren't for Shuang'er's initiative, given Lu Tao's personality and the fact that he had only been here for about ten days, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to be with He Yuanshuang now.
Shuang'er, without a doubt, is a top choice in terms of figure, appearance, and personality.
However, for Lu Tao, who possessed the system...
His potential is too high; he certainly wouldn't actively pursue Shuang'er.
and.
In the future, there will be many women who are better than Shuang'er in every way.
Therefore, Shuang'er was right.
If she doesn't take the initiative and backs down, she will naturally miss out on Lu Tao.
After saying what had been weighing on her mind for so long, Shuang'er felt much more relaxed and gradually fell asleep in Lu Tao's arms.
Lu Tao's feelings were somewhat complicated.
He understood.
He Yuanshuang's journey is actually a microcosm of the experiences of others around him.
His talent and all the changes it brought to everyone caused He Zongming, Wu Tianyou, Chen An, Manager Feng and others to change their attitudes towards him time and time again.
From being a junior at the beginning, to being peers and friends, and then to becoming the sect leader they respected.
Lu Tao didn't pay much attention to these changes, but they all happened quietly in just over ten days.
This shows how much their emotions changed.
Lu Tao knew.
All of this was unavoidable.
As his cultivation level rises and the Immortal Sect grows stronger, these changes will continue...
