People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Seeing Zi Yan's ambiguous smile, Xiao Ling's doubts deepened, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his face was shrouded in obvious trouble.

He couldn't help but speak again, his tone tinged with urgency: "So, this is really why you summoned me? Is there... anything I can do to help you? If so, please tell me, and I will definitely help you."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Zi Yan stretched out her fair and jade-like finger and gently tapped the tip of his nose. A sly smile flickered in her eyes, and her tone was both teasing and helpless: "You are such a big idiot."

She paused deliberately, looked at Xiao Ling, and continued, "If you weren't able to help, would I have summoned you at this crucial moment in my cultivation? Even if I miss you, I know how to prioritize, right? Do you really think I called you here just to fool around? Honestly."

Almost instinctively, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's slender hand in his own warm, large palm. He could feel the coolness and smoothness of her palm, and his fingertips could even touch the subtle pulse beneath her skin.

Holding her soft, boneless hand, Xiao Ling's voice became unusually serious, with a hint of barely perceptible tension, as he asked, "Then tell me, what can I do to help you? If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."

However, when faced with Xiao Ling's sincere and concerned eyes, Zi Yan turned her head slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed. Her eyes became uncertain, and she stammered.

Her small mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed to be hesitating. A faint blush rose on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"Well..." She shifted slightly, deliberately avoiding Xiao Ling's gaze, and lowered her voice, "It's a bit troublesome... Anyway..."

Her words were fragmented and vague, leaving only a string of elusive echoes lingering in the air.

Seeing Zi Yan's mysterious and hesitant expression, Xiao Ling was both amused and exasperated, unsure of where to begin his comment.

He simply reached out his other hand and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to turn her head and look him in the eye honestly.

The moment their eyes met, he playfully flicked her forehead, his tone tinged with helplessness and worry:

"Hey, what time is it? Why are you still being so hesitant and shy? If you don't explain yourself soon, we might not have much time left."

Before he finished speaking, he deliberately switched to a teasing tone, adding a touch of sarcasm:

"Besides, with your quirky and fearless nature, what could possibly make our Miss Ziyan feel shy? Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush in front of me, okay?"

After Xiao Ling said that, Zi Yan's strange feelings of embarrassment were somewhat suppressed.

She thought to herself that Xiao Ling was right. They were already very close, and there was no need to worry about many things anymore.

But... this was, after all,... that kind of thing. Although she was usually carefree in other matters and they had been through a lot together, it was still the first time, and she felt a little shy that was hard to talk about.

Finally, under Xiao Ling's burning gaze, filled with concern and patience, Zi Yan took a deep breath, as if she had used up all her courage, and gritted her teeth.

She slightly raised her head, her body involuntarily moving closer to Xiao Ling until their noses almost touched, before bringing her lips close to his ear. Her voice was barely audible, trembling slightly, as she whispered:

"That...you know...that thing...could you...do that with me...?"

Zi Yan's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. If her words hadn't been right next to Xiao Ling's ear, he probably would have missed this crucial request.

Only after her words completely disappeared into the air did the doubt on Xiao Ling's face slowly fade away, replaced by an incredulous shock.

Admittedly, given the already established close relationship between him and Zi Yan, it was only natural and inevitable that something would happen between them.

But he never expected that Zi Yan would choose this moment, when she was at a crucial juncture in her cultivation, to make such a request in such a shy yet direct way.

This sudden turn of events was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, catching him completely off guard and leaving him momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing Xiao Ling's dumbfounded and completely unexpected expression, Zi Yan roughly guessed his astonishment and couldn't help but chuckle. The shyness that had been on her face earlier dissipated considerably with the laughter. She felt much more relaxed after saying those difficult words.

She gently rested her head on Xiao Ling's broad chest, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, and her voice softened as she began to explain:

"You must be wondering why I'm doing that now, right? Actually, it's because my current situation is a bit special. I've already absorbed all the energy from that Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. However, in order to absorb both the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix at the same time, I had to rely on that ninth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core to maintain balance, which greatly increased the difficulty and trouble of the absorption."

She paused and continued:
"So, the current situation is that the energy has been absorbed, but it is still opposing forces within my body and has not yet merged. What I need to do next is to completely merge these two completely different energies, the bloodline power of the Primordial Ancient Dragon and the Primordial Heavenly Phoenix, within my body to achieve a perfect balance. Only in this way can my bloodline truly complete its transformation and evolve into the most perfect Supreme Dragon-Phoenix."

"Moreover, the energy from this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and the ninth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core that you went through so much trouble to obtain will not be wasted; I can make full use of it. Once I successfully cultivate it, my cultivation level will reach an unexpected height."

After listening to Zi Yan's explanation, Xiao Ling gradually understood the special and crucial nature of her current situation.

He frowned slightly, then after a moment, a look of realization dawned on his face. He nodded, his tone conveying a sense of understanding:
"So, what you need to do most right now is to achieve a perfect fusion of the two bloodline powers within you, one originating from the Ancient Void Dragon and the other from the Ancient Celestial Phoenix. And my help will allow you to better control this process and accelerate the fusion of these two bloodline powers, is that what you mean?"

Zi Yan nodded gently and replied, "Yes, that's right. Your mental strength is powerful, so at that time, you will be able to sense the subtle changes in the two energies within me more clearly, helping me to better control the rhythm of fusion. Only you can do this kind of precise sensing and control right now."

At this point, her voice paused slightly, and a blush unconsciously crept onto her pretty face. Then, her voice became even more shy, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement, as she whispered, "And... I'm only willing to do this kind of thing with you."

Having said all that, a subtle silence fell between them. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan's slightly shy yet expectant expression and understood.

Having experienced many similar situations, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for Ziyan to take the initiative.

Although she might pounce on him at any moment given her personality, Xiao Ling still felt that it was always better to take the initiative in this kind of situation.

Xiao Ling's burning gaze went straight into Zi Yan's clear, amethyst-like eyes. The undisguised intensity in his eyes made Zi Yan's heart skip a beat, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily. However, instead of looking away, she met his gaze and stared back at Xiao.

A strange sense of anticipation, like a vine, quietly sprouted and spread in Zi Yan's heart.

She couldn't help but think to herself: After waiting for so long, this day has finally come... finally! Before, she was so busy having fun that she let her guard down and didn't pay much attention, and as a result, Medusa beat her to it and even got pregnant with Xiao Ling's child... Hmph, now, it's finally time for her to get her revenge!

Xiao Ling's fingertips trembled slightly as he gently stroked Zi Yan's soft and alluring lips.

He gazed at her, looking at the faint yet real expectation in her eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he murmured in a low and firm voice, "Ziyan, you are mine... From now on, you will always be mine."

Before he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate for a moment, lowered his head, and kissed her gently but firmly.

Zi Yan felt the warm, soft touch on her lips, as if an electric current instantly surged through her entire body.

She unconsciously squinted her eyes happily, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

Her long, slender arms seemed to have a mind of their own, involuntarily wrapping around Xiao Ling's neck, with a hint of shyness and a heart full of joy, she gently threw herself into his embrace.

The tenderness and lingering kiss continued, but their breathing began to become somewhat heavy.

Xiao Ling unconsciously tightened his arms, pressing Zi Yan even closer to himself, as if trying to absorb all her warmth.

Zi Yan struggled slightly in his arms, but was immediately soothed by Xiao Ling's gentler kiss.

Xiao Ling's kisses gradually moved away, sliding from her soft lips to her smooth neck, leaving behind a series of warm, light kisses.

Zi Yan's body trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed so red they seemed to bleed, and she kept her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Xiao Ling stopped, his nose touching hers, and could hear her increasingly rapid heartbeat, mixed with his own equally rapid heartbeat, so clearly heard in this silent space.

He lowered his head, his chin gently stroking the top of her head, with a hint of careful tenderness.

Zi Yan adjusted to a more comfortable position in his arms, as if gathering some kind of courage. Then, she tilted her head slightly and, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, mumbled his name.

This soft call, like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly shattered the last vestiges of calm and foreshadowed everything that was about to happen.

……

Time always slips away unnoticed; it seems like only a blink of an eye, and the morning mist over Gulong Island has already lingered for three days.

The mist always carried a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing, making it hard to breathe.

Before they knew it, three days had passed. During these three days, the members of Ancient Dragon Island had already rested and recuperated, and everyone was in top condition, just waiting for the moment to strike.

Even the number of guards on daily patrols has increased several times over. They move around the island as if facing a formidable enemy, their eyes scanning every inch of the sea and sky with vigilance.

A heavy sense of anticipation filled the air; everyone understood that a severe test was imminent.

What they can do is to maximize this "best, best, most focused" state.

They held their breath, like a taut bowstring, every nerve taut, waiting for the command that might come at any moment.

Prepare for the severe test that is about to come, a test that could shake the entire Ancient Dragon Island.

Just as all preparations on Gulong Island were reaching their climax, and the air was thick with tension and solemnity, a sudden change occurred!

The sky above Ancient Dragon Island seemed to be ripped open by an invisible giant hand! A deep and majestic dragon roar, seemingly from the ancient past, had not yet been heard, but it had already shaken people's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, a purple-gold beam of light burst forth from the summit of the most majestic mountain in the central area of ​​Ancient Dragon Island without warning.

The beam of light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it! It was also incredibly thick, almost piercing through half the sky, and with unparalleled momentum, it shot straight into the unreachable, deep, ink-like void, as if it wanted to completely pierce through that entire firmament!

The moment the beam of light burst forth, the entire Ancient Dragon Island seemed to tremble! The earth rumbled, the ancient trees swayed incessantly, and the wind howled, emitting a deafening roar.

What's even more unsettling is the oppressive aura that follows!
A surge of indescribably powerful energy, like a tangible torrent, spread out in a ring from the center of the purple-gold pillar of light.

This oppressive aura carried a sense of destructive power, making everyone on the island who was preparing, whether they were highly skilled elders or young children, feel as if they were being crushed by an unshakeable mountain. Their breaths became stagnant, and even the flow of their blood slowed down, as if they would be crushed into dust by this invisible force in the next second!

Immediately following that energy pressure, an even more domineering, powerful, and unique bloodline pressure was added on top!
This oppressive aura was filled with an ancient, powerful, and domineering kingly aura, carrying the most primal and pure essence of the dragon race.

Unlike the violent energy pressure, it was like an invisible net, precisely covering every inch and corner of Ancient Dragon Island.

In an instant, an indescribable tremor pierced the souls of all the ancient dragon clan members, as if their hearts had been struck hard at the same time.

Without words or confirmation, a thought exploded in everyone's heart like a thunderclap: after endless silence, the new Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has finally been born!
