Qian Xunji's domineering spiritual power melted away instantly upon touching this cluster of flames, just like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!
Ning Lin's spiritual sea of consciousness is as solid as a rock.
Instead of being controlled, he turned the tables and pretended to be manipulated.
Now!
Ning Lin's eyes regained their clarity in an instant.
He ignored Qian Xunji's slightly changed expression on the throne, and also didn't look at Yu Xiaogang, who looked like a clown in the corner.
He turned around and gazed deeply into the eyes of the beautiful woman who stood in front of him, her eyes filled with an unprecedented tenderness, as she looked at him. She was worried about him and heartbroken for him.
"Bibi Dong".
His voice was magnetic.
Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled, and she stared at him blankly.
Ning Lin took a step forward, ignoring the pain on his body, and slowly raised his blood-stained hand to gently stroke her cheek.
"I don't know how to describe this feeling."
Ning Lin's voice was soft, yet it carried a power that could penetrate the heart.
"We've known each other for a very short time, so short that to outsiders it might just seem like a joke."
"However, from the first time I saw you in the library, from the moment I fought alongside you in the Star Dou Great Forest, my soul has already resonated deeply with yours."
"That feeling transcends time and the mundane world."
"It's as if I've traveled across countless mountains and rivers, traversed endless time and space, just to meet you at this moment."
His words plunged the entire papal palace into a deathly silence.
The ecstasy on Yu Xiaogang's face froze.
The smile on Chihiro's face disappeared.
Ning Lin did not stop. He gazed into Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes, which were already brimming with tears, and spoke solemnly, word by word.
"Bibi Dong, you are the one I have been searching for all my life, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Perhaps it's a bit inappropriate to say these things now."
"But I'm afraid that if I don't speak up now, I'll never have another chance."
"so..."
He took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, and asked the question.
"Are you willing?"
The words fell.
Bibi Dong could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.
She is neither the ruthless and decisive Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, nor the future Empress who will rule the world.
At this moment, she was just an ordinary girl being publicly confessed to by the person she loved.
All her strength, all her pretense, crumbled at this moment.
She nodded vigorously, choking back tears, but managed to shout out those two words with all her might.
"I do!"
Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed Ning Lin's hands tightly, as if she wanted to meld him into her very bones.
At this moment, she forgot all about her teacher, the pope, and the future of the Spirit Hall.
In her world, only the man in front of her remained.
"You bastard!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap!
Qian Xunji has completely broken down!
His carefully designed scheme to win her heart not only failed, but instead became the stage for her to confess her feelings!
This is an absolute disgrace!
A terrifying pressure of soul power erupted from his body, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami sweeping across the entire Papal Palace!
"Your Holiness, please calm your anger! This boy is spreading heresies and misleading the public; Her Highness the Holy Maiden has only been temporarily deceived..."
Yu Xiaogang, huddled in the corner, still wanted to keep talking and showing off.
Unfortunately, in her rage, Qian Xunji had already lost control.
That unintentional release of a trace of pressure was like an invisible hammer, slamming hard into Yu Xiaogang's chest!
"puff--!"
Before Yu Xiaogang could even scream, he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant wall before rolling to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and instantly losing consciousness.
Qian Xunji didn't even glance at him.
waste.
His eyes were now bloodshot, fixed intently on Ning Lin.
"Good, very good!"
"Since you two are so deeply in love, then today, I will send you both on your way!"
Let's go to hell and be a pair of doomed lovers!
When his first plan failed, he revealed his true intentions!
Before he finished speaking, Qian Xunji raised his right hand, and his dazzling golden soul power frantically condensed, transforming into an angelic holy sword burning with scorching flames, which he slashed down at Ning Lin!
He showed no mercy in this attack!
A titled Douluo's full-force attack is enough to raze the entire Papal Palace to the ground!
"No--!"
Bibi Dong let out a shrill scream.
Without a second thought, her soul power erupted instantly!
Two purple rings and four spirit rings suddenly appeared!
Death Spider King! Soul-Devouring Spider King!
Twin martial souls, possessing the same body simultaneously!
She opened her arms and, once again and for the last time, resolutely stood in front of Ning Lin!
Boom—!!!
The golden holy sword collided violently with the spider web shield that Bibi Dong had hastily conjured!
The violent energy shockwave blew everything inside the hall away!
Bibi Dong groaned, spitting a mouthful of blood onto Ning Lin's chest, and was thrown backward by the immense force.
Ning Lin quickly pulled her into his arms.
She withstood Qian Xunji's attack with her bare hands!
Although it was only the aftermath, it still severely injured her, leaving her extremely weak.
But she still fiercely protected Ning Lin, and the phoenix eyes that looked at Qian Xunji no longer held the respect of the past, only deep-seated hatred.
Now everyone could see it.
This is not acting.
Bibi Dong and Ning Lin are truly in love.
In the corner, Yu Xiaogang, who had just slowly woken up, saw this scene and his eyes turned red with jealousy, almost to the point of madness.
waste!
Qian Xunji is such a useless piece of trash!
The Pope, a titled Douluo, can't even handle his own disciple!
He cursed inwardly but dared not utter a sound, and could only lie on the ground like a dead dog.
"You...you actually dared to defy me for his sake?"
Qian Xunji's voice trembled, half from anger and half from being intimidated by Bibi Dong's resolute gaze.
Bibi Dong is putting on a brave face.
Ning Lin could feel the delicate body in his arms trembling slightly.
"You wicked disciple!"
Qian Xunji's patience has completely run out.
"Since you remain stubbornly unrepentant, then don't blame your master for being ruthless!"
He raised the angelic sword once more, and this time, the golden flames on the sword burned even more fiercely!
He wanted to wipe out these two eyesores, along with Bibi Dong, completely!
Just then, Bibi Dong suddenly spoke.
Her voice was weak, yet unusually calm.
"teacher."
She raised her head, and a poignant smile bloomed on her pale, pretty face.
"If you kill him, I will die right here in front of you."
Qian Xunji's movements came to an abrupt halt.
He looked at Bibi Dong, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Bibi Dong's gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool.
"My strength is indeed inferior to yours; I cannot kill you."
"But I can kill myself."
"If you don't believe me, you can try. Let's see if your sword is faster, or if I can shatter my own heart meridian faster."
