Murong Liyue continued to struggle in Qin Luo's arms, but gradually, she also felt the love contained in Qin Luo's tight embrace. Her movements slowly slowed down, and finally she quietly leaned against Qin Luo's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
"Qin Luo, promise me that from now on, no matter what you do, you'll always consider your own safety first, okay?"
After a moment of silence, Murong Liyue's voice slowly rang out from his embrace, but it carried a hint of pleading.
Qin Luo looked tenderly at Murong Liyue and nodded:
"I agree, but you have to accept this first."
Murong Liyue was slightly taken aback. She lifted her head from Qin Luo's embrace and saw Qin Luo handing the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, which emitted black and white light, to her again.
Looking at the half-zhang-tall Purple True Vine of the Sun and Moon, Murong Liyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew Qin Luo was doing it for her own good, but she still hesitated.
At this moment, she thought that leaving the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine for Qin Luo to use was what she most wanted to see. If it were before, she might have prioritized cultivation, but now, her heart and mind were completely focused on Qin Luo. In her heart, Qin Luo's importance had long surpassed everything else.
Sometimes she even thought that stopping her cultivation to be a good wife and mother might be a good choice.
But this is ultimately just wishful thinking. On this ever-changing path of cultivation, if I were to truly stop cultivating, how could I stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Luo at crucial moments and protect their love and future?
Seeing Murong Liyue's hesitant expression, Qin Luo felt a sense of helplessness. He then gently took Murong Liyue's hand and placed the Sun and Moon Purple Vine in her palm.
"What, even now you still want to be modest with me?"
Murong Liyue slightly raised her head, meeting his gentle, warm gaze. The two gazed at each other silently for a long time. Finally, she was the first to give in, lowering her eyes.
Clutching the Sun and Moon Purple Vine tightly in her hand, a hint of resentment quietly welled up in her heart, resenting that he always disregarded his own safety, just to give her the best.
At the same time, a sweet feeling welled up in my heart—a happiness of being wholeheartedly cared for.
After putting away the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, Murong Liyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her cheeks flushing red. She then nestled into Qin Luo's arms, and after a moment, a soft, shy voice escaped her lips:
"Qin Luo... after the competition for the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, the assessment will soon be coming to an end. I... I want you to stay with me during this time, okay?"
Seeing her charming and alluring appearance, Qin Luo was slightly taken aback, but then he understood what she meant. Looking at the tens of thousands of points on the mark on his arm, he thought for a moment and made a decision, then immediately agreed.
"Okay, it's time to take a good rest..."
Hearing his agreement, Murong Liyue's face flushed even more, but her heart was filled with joy. She nestled tightly in Qin Luo's arms, feeling his warmth and presence. At this moment, she only wanted to immerse herself in this blissful moment.
Over the next two days, Qin Luo and Murong Liyue were seen appearing in the Lingxiao Plain from time to time.
Their footprints can be found in many places in Lingxiao Plain, from the lush green hillsides and babbling brooks to the tranquil and secluded forests, the mist-shrouded mountain peaks, the flower-filled valleys, and the shimmering lakeshores...
While the two were traveling, the number of test takers and the points reached one thousand. The test entered its final 24-hour countdown, which caused the cultivators to resort to any means necessary in order to obtain the passing points.
On the massive mountain peak covered in clouds, Qin Luo gazed at the distant sea of clouds, a hint of contentment in his eyes.
Murong Liyue sat quietly beside Qin Luo, her legs curled up, her gaze fixed on him. Looking at his focused expression, her heart was filled with love.
She gently broke off a slice of fruit in her hand and said softly:
"You always get so easily lost in thought. You promised to spend more time with me."
As she spoke, she offered a piece of fresh, juicy fruit to Qin Luo's lips.
Qin Luo turned his head, looked at Murong Liyue's slightly reproachful eyes, and smiled helplessly. He slightly opened his mouth and ate the fruit that Murong Liyue handed him.
Seeing Qin Luo eat the fruit, the resentment in Murong Liyue's eyes finally dissipated, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
During these days of companionship, her cool and aloof face became even more beautiful and charming, like the most splendid flower blooming in spring.
At this moment, atop this mountain peak, her eyes were fixed on Qin Luo's figure, and every subtle gesture was overflowing with deep love.
Not only did she meticulously serve Qin Luo fruit, but she would also wipe his mouth with a delicate handkerchief from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness.
At this moment, she embodied the word "virtuous" to the fullest, every smile, every gesture exuding endless tenderness.
Just as they were enjoying this peaceful moment, the marks on their arms began to flash continuously. Then, the marks on their arms slowly broke free and transformed into a palm-sized blue spirit tablet.
"It seems that this is the so-called disciple certificate of Lingyuan Sect. However, since this thing has appeared, it means that the assessment should be over."
Qin Luo reached out and grabbed the token in front of him, immediately realizing the spiritual value it contained.
"110,000? That's quite a sum of spirit points."
The moment he grasped the token, a blue light enveloped him. As Qin Luo was enveloped by the blue light, he felt a gentle yet powerful force wash over his entire body.
Slightly startled, she quickly calmed down and let the mysterious force carry her away into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Murong Liyue quickly grasped the token, and in a moment, a blue light emerged and enveloped her, before she sped off towards the horizon.
And this scene was repeated time and again throughout the entire Lingxiao Plain. Countless dazzling blue lights streaked across the sky like shooting stars, each light enveloping a disciple who had successfully passed the test.
At the same time, the majestic, towering pillar at the center of Lingxiao Plain suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling blue light. That light instantly illuminated the entire Lingxiao Plain.
Immediately afterwards, an old man appeared out of thin air. He raised his sleeve and waved it gently, and the towering pillar began to transform into a huge and magnificent portal. Within this portal, the surrounding spiritual energy surged like a vortex, revealing an extremely rich aura of spiritual energy.
Countless disciples enveloped in blue light surged into the portal, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity. They could sense the rich spiritual energy emanating from it, and a strong sense of anticipation welled up within them.
That place is the Lingyuan Gate, one of the nine great heavenly gates in the myriad worlds!
