Chapter 654 Questioning and Reward
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Mo grabbed Ning Rongrong by the neck, and without giving her any chance to resist, he twisted her neck sharply with his right hand, and she vanished like a bubble.
At the same time, the voice rang out again. However, unlike before, this time it was a questioning of his actions.
"She was your lover, why did you choose to kill her?"
Xuan Mo's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He simply gazed silently at the sky above and coldly said, "She is not."
"Why isn't she? She is. She is entirely a projection of everything your lover has created; she is her future."
"I said, she isn't!"
At this moment, Xuan Mo's aura surged, revealing a gigantic, thousand-meter-long phantom of a Taotie behind him, opposing the voice above. His tone even contained anger. "The real Rongrong would never lay a hand on me. And even if you are a god, you cannot arrange her future. That is merely a replica. No, to be precise, it's not even a replica!"
"Buzz..."
At this moment, the voice seemed to be enraged by Xuan Mo's words, and the previously clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.
Even the Goddess of Love, observing from the divine realm, was shocked by Xuan Mo's actions.
"This brat, how dare he do this!"
As the Goddess of Love and Beauty, before the Goddess of Emotions was even born, she governed the word "love" among the seven emotions. Therefore, she naturally understood why Xuan Mo was angry.
In his view, the trials in the Valley of Love and Destiny had toyed with his love for Ning Rongrong, and with Ning Rongrong's future as well. Even if that wasn't true, for those in love, it was a grave sin!
"What will happen next?"
Meanwhile, inside Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
Facing the approaching dark clouds, Xuanmo remained unfazed. Similarly, the voice remained in a stalemate, making no move.
This situation lasted for a full half-cup of tea before the voice seemed to decide on a question to embarrass Xuanmo. It questioned, "But that figure still resembles your lover. If your lover attacks you or is controlled, and you can't distinguish the real from the fake, would you intervene?!"
"That's nonsense."
Xuanmo frowned slightly, staring at the sky.
But the voice clearly ignored this, repeating, "Please answer my question. If you still don't answer after three times, then you'll be deemed to have failed this test."
Staring intently at the sky, Xuanmo didn't hesitate any longer, calmly answering. In fact, he already knew the answer; his previous question was simply an expression of dissatisfaction with the sky above. " If there were no other way…
If Rongrong were truly like that, I would choose to stop her, but I wouldn't harm her. Just not like I knew the one just now was a 'fake,' where I would simply kill her."
Xuanmo emphasized the word "fake" when he said this, and followed immediately with, "If there really comes a day when our lives are in danger, then… I live, she lives; I die, she lives; she dies, I die! Is there a way to have it all? No, my love for her in this life will not betray her!"
With that, Xuanmo's four spirit rings appeared simultaneously, as if the atmosphere below had reached a tense, almost dangerous level.
"What else is there to ask in the Valley of Love and Destiny?!"
In an instant, time seemed to stand still. Until…
"True love is invincible, true affection is hard to verify. Passed."
At this moment, the dark clouds instantly dispersed, and Xuanmo had also left the previous scene, returning to the round platform.
Moreover, the golden and silver curtains separating the two were slowly drawn back, as if Mu Lin and Xuan Mo, who had been unable to meet before, were now reunited.
"Brother Mo, are you alright?"
Mu Lin rushed over upon seeing this. Xuan Mo waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"By the way, how do we get out of here?"
"Don't rush." Xuan Mo remained calm, "If I'm not mistaken, we can leave once we get our reward."
"Buzz—"
Just then, the entire space suddenly lit up, two different beams of light shining on the two of them, freezing their bodies. That familiar voice echoed again.
"Mu Lin, although you have no lover and no one to love you, you have not hidden anything from Wen Qing. You have passed the Qiankun Wen Qing test. You will receive a reward: Martial Soul Evolution. Your Martial Soul will evolve from the Shining Tyrannosaurus to the Radiant Holy Dragon. Also, I hope you will work hard in the future to find your lover."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin's face showed embarrassment. At the same time, he was bathed in golden light, and suddenly, the phantom of a dazzling Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared behind him. Then, a series of changes occurred. Finally, his martial soul transformed into a golden holy dragon, but unlike the others, it was covered in diamond scales.
"This, this is… my martial soul has evolved!"
Just as Mu Lin was overjoyed, he was teleaorted away by the golden light. Immediately afterward, a beam of golden light entered Xuan Mo's body, causing Xuan Mo's aura to surge again.
"Xuan Mo, your soul power has increased by two levels."
Hearing this, Xuan Mo carefully sensed the changes in his cultivation and discovered that he was now at level ninety-four, and this was even without his five soul rings being repositioned. Once he regained his five soul rings, he would become one of the most powerful beings.
At this moment, a strong golden light shone down, engulfing Xuan Mo's body. The next instant, the world spun. Xuan Mo also disappeared from the Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Love in the Divine Realm leisurely stretched.
"This time, we've truly reaped a bountiful harvest."
The next second, a golden light shone brightly, and when Xuan Mo could see his surroundings clearly again, he was surprised to find himself in a valley. Standing around him was the vanished Mu Lin.
There were obvious signs of battle around them; the valley was severely damaged, clearly indicating that a major battle had taken place here not long ago.
"Wait, where is this..."
Xuan Mo looked puzzled, because he felt that the aftershocks of the attack that caused this situation seemed very familiar.
"Brother Mo, it seems like we caused this."
"Hmm?" Hearing Mu Lin's reminder, Xuan Mo carefully examined the area and found that, as Mu Lin said, the area had indeed been transformed into this state by them.
"It seems that the mist has dissipated; what happened before was probably an illusion from the Qiankun Wenqing Valley. So the forest we saw before was this valley."
After understanding, Xuan Mo said to Mu Lin, "This place is mysterious and we can't stay here long. Let's leave."
"Okay!"
