Seeing her delicate and charming appearance, Qin Luo stopped teasing her, otherwise things would really get out of hand.
He slowly gazed at the second level of the Abyss, finding its intensity insufficient to meet his expectations. Then, sensing Li Tuo closely following behind, a strange glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes, and he spoke softly and seriously to Huang Lu:
"Senior, do you trust me?"
Qin Luo's gaze became incredibly sincere at this moment. His deep eyes seemed to hold a safe harbor where one could rely on them. The mischievousness he had shown earlier during his teasing had vanished, replaced by an undeniable seriousness.
Huang Lu was slightly taken aback. She raised her head and met Qin Luo's sincere gaze. She felt her heart being gently struck and felt a sense of reliability she had never experienced before.
This was something she had never felt while working alone in Lingyuanmen.
Although she appeared charming and alluring in the Lingyuan Sect, seemingly able to navigate social situations with ease, only she knew the hardships she endured.
She had no powerful family background to rely on, so she had to fight and strive for everything on her own. Those people often only valued her beauty, and few truly cared about her inner thoughts and feelings, let alone give her such unreserved trust and a sense of security.
On ordinary days, she had to deal with those suitors with ulterior motives on her own, using her intelligence to get rid of their entanglements time and time again.
In the struggle for cultivation resources, one must also rack one's brains and plan carefully, for fear of missing a good opportunity by carelessness.
Every time she entered this abyss, she was alone, bracing herself to enter. While resisting the power of the spiritual abyss, she was also wary of others. There was no one she could trust to entrust her back to.
At this moment, Qin Luo's sincere gaze and earnest expression, which seemed to encompass her entire being, gave her a feeling of complete relaxation for the first time, a sense that she no longer needed to be constantly on edge.
It was as if she had been adrift on the turbulent sea of cultivation for a long time and had finally found a peaceful and stable harbor where she could dock with peace of mind.
Huang Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly flustered emotions caused by her previous shyness and current感动 (gǎndòng, a feeling of being moved/touched), and then looked at Qin Luo with the same seriousness, nodding without hesitation:
"Well, although I don't know what you're going to do, I believe in you!"
Although her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable firmness. At this moment, she had completely entrusted her safety in this abyss to Qin Luo.
Hearing this, Qin Luo tightened his grip on her slender waist slightly, giving her a reassuring strength. Then, a confident smile appeared on his lips as he said:
"Don't worry, senior. With me here, even though this Abyss is full of dangers, and even though Senior Li Tuo is always watching you from behind, I will definitely protect you and won't let him harass you anymore."
Looking at his confident smile, Huang Lu felt that the smile had a strange magic that could dispel all the gloom and worry in her heart about the Abyss and Li Tuo's entanglement.
The upturned corners of his mouth exuded boundless freedom, instantly calming her previously uneasy heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo flashed and rushed towards the depths of the second level of the Abyss with Huang Lu in his arms. Their speed was so fast that they were like a streak of light passing through the slightly dim space of the Abyss.
Behind them, Li Tuo was taken aback when he saw Qin Luo and Huang Lu suddenly speed up. He then quickly quickened his pace to catch up...
Before long, Qin Luo and his companion arrived at the entrance to the third floor and entered without hesitation.
Seeing this, Li Tuo behind him sneered and secretly mocked:
"Hmph, is this kid just showing off? Thinking he can shake me off once he gets to the third floor? He doesn't even know his own limitations. He'll be in for a world of hurt later!"
He then followed without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tuo arrived at the third floor, he saw the two figures rushing towards the entrance of the fourth floor!
Li Tuo's eyes widened in surprise and anger. He never expected this kid to be so bold as to rush directly towards the fourth floor.
It should be understood that each level of this abyss is more dangerous than the last. With each deeper you go, the dangers you face increase exponentially. The fourth level is so dangerous that only those at the Spirit Control Realm can enter.
Most importantly, he has only just entered the Spirit Control Realm and is not yet confident in resisting the power of the fourth level of the Spirit Abyss.
The spiritual power of the fourth level is no joke. It is said that its density has turned into a storm, which can easily shatter even experts in the early stage of the Spirit Control Realm, let alone someone like him who has just entered the Spirit Control Realm and whose foundation is still unstable.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Li Tuo's mind, and his steps unconsciously slowed. He watched Qin Luo and Huang Lu's departing figures, gritting his teeth as he silently pondered:
"Has this kid gone mad? Huang Lu must be out of her mind to follow him to such a dangerous place! Hmph, I'd like to see how he manages to get in with his mid-stage Soul Contract Realm strength!"
At the same time, Qin Luo and his companion were hovering outside the barrier at the entrance to the fourth level. The barrier emitted a ghostly blue light, and countless runes flowed within it as the light flickered, exuding a chilling aura of danger.
Huang Lu looked at Qin Luo, her eyes filled with worry. She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end, she chose to believe him and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She knew that now that Qin Luo had come here, he must have his own plans, and along the way, he had indeed demonstrated abilities and a sense of responsibility that far exceeded her expectations.
