Chapter 649 The Question of Love and Destiny.
"Is this the bottom of the lake in the Valley of the Question of Love and Destiny? It seems the questioning of love and destiny here is about to begin."
At this moment, Xuan Mo seemed to have entered a transparent world, everything around him appearing to be made of gold and silver crystal.
He was still inside the bubble, but now he was standing on a huge circular platform.
This platform was entirely pale gold, about twenty meters in diameter. There were two circles, each one meter in diameter, around the edge; the platform he was standing on was one of them.
As for the other…
of course, it belonged to Mu Lin.
Both of them were inside a gold and silver bubble. Xuan Mo tried to shout, but found that his voice seemed unable to carry.
At the same time, Mu Lin was also carefully observing his surroundings. Judging from his lip movements, he was also shouting, but everything here was eerily silent.
However, when Mu Lin and Xuan Mo made eye contact, they waved to each other, indicating that they could see each other.
After that, Xuanmo looked up again. Above, the golden sun and silver moon shone brightly, and the surrounding area was a hazy play of light and shadow. Apart from the platform itself, the view couldn't extend much further.
Just then, the golden platform beneath their feet emitted a misty glow.
Suddenly, a long, narrow golden beam shot out from the center of the platform, rapidly rotating around it, its tip pointing towards the two smaller platforms nearby.
"Qiankun Asks About Love, True Adventure. Now it begins."
A calm, yet indistinguishable male or female voice rang in their ears almost simultaneously.
Upon hearing this, both of them immediately fell silent.
To their surprise, they found themselves surrounded by a golden and silver light curtain, obscuring each other's vision.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xuanmo's mind: this was the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, meaning those asking questions were usually people with lovers or crushes.
But Mu Lin…
Xuanmo instinctively looked towards Mu Lin. If he remembered correctly, Mu Lin was not only single, but he also didn't seem to have a crush on anyone. Given this, how would the Qiankun Wenqing Valley test him?
Just as this thought crossed Xuanmo's mind, the beam of light in the center of the platform began to rotate rapidly. It flashed back and forth between the two people's bubbles, their bubbles lighting up briefly before returning to normal.
It was as if the valley was choosing between the two of them.
Suddenly, the golden light stopped.
The beam of light pointed directly at the platform opposite Xuanmo. Of course, Xuanmo was unaware of this. And on this small platform was Mu Lin.
At that moment, Mu Lin was struck by the golden light and was slightly startled, as the entire bubble he was in lit up.
Before he could react, the bubble disappeared, and a golden light rose from the platform beneath his feet, enveloping his body. Within the golden light, his body slowly rose, stopping only three feet off the ground.
Mu Lin was surprised by the changes in his body; he found no discomfort, only that he couldn't move.
Just then, the previously emotionless voice suddenly rang out, and this time, only he could hear it. Xuan Mo, for example, could only stand there stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Do you have a lover?"
Mu Lin's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't speak. This question suddenly made his mind go blank.
Seeing Mu Lin's lack of answer, the voice spoke again: "Do you have a lover? If you don't answer after being asked three times, your punishment will be death."
At this moment, Mu Lin was dumbfounded. A lover? This question seemed incredibly difficult for him! But he finally hesitated and spoke.
"This... I don't think I have one, do I?" As soon as he said this, a beam of light suddenly shone on him, and the voice spoke again: "Tell the truth, or your punishment for lying to me will be death!"
The moment the words left his lips, Mu Lin felt a sudden pressure descend upon him.
"Wait! I really don't have a lover! How am I supposed to answer that?! I can't just make one up! Hey! Did you hear me?"
At this moment, in the Divine Realm, the Goddess of Love, who had asked the question, exchanged glances with the Nine-Colored Goddess. Then, with a flick of her wrist, the Goddess of Love instantly understood Mu Lin's thoughts, and her gaze turned strange.
"Honestly, so old and still single, and without even someone you like? Is he a blockhead? But if you don't have a lover, why did you hesitate when I asked?"
The Goddess of Love rubbed her forehead, complaining.
At the same time, the Nine-Colored Goddess spoke up from the side, "Then sister, since he doesn't have anyone he likes, and no one here likes him, how are you going to test this little guy next?"
"This..."
Cupid was speechless for a moment. After all, as the Nine-Colored Goddess said, even she, as a god, couldn't test him in this situation.
"Forget it, forget it, he's not our target anyway. Since he doesn't have a lover and no one likes him, let's just give him a reward and let him pass. Even if we pity him."
"I wonder who's to blame for him not being able to find a lover. Sigh! Since that's the case, the only reward we can choose is to increase his strength. Or... let his martial soul advance another step."
With that, Cupid waved her pretty hand.
At the same time, in the lower realm, Mu Lin suddenly felt the pressure that had just been applied to him vanish, and that voice rang in his ears. At the same time, his body was once again covered in a bubble.
"Without a lover, it's difficult to ask about love. Pass."
As the words fell, a strange feeling arose in Mu Lin's heart, as if he had grasped something, as if his martial spirit had undergone a special change at that moment.
This made him feel that this place wasn't so terrifying after all, but the last sentence of that voice pierced Mu Lin's heart.
However, whether Mu Lin felt heartbroken or not, the Valley of Love and Destiny didn't care. Above his bubble, a golden and silver halo appeared.
At the same time, a golden and silver light screen rose again, blocking Mu Lin's view. The previous golden light reappeared and shifted its focus to Xuan Mo.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Love in the Divine Realm smiled slightly.
"Alright, now let me see if you have a lover, and who it is? Are you qualified to inherit my divine position?"
