Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 493 Yuwen Qiu: "Tuo, are you a devil?"

Ye Xishui looked at Long Xiaoyao, who had a worried expression on his face, and shook her head. "You weren't too late. You could have chosen to attack Yuwentuo. Why did you use the most foolish method to help me defend myself?"

The best solution Long Xiaoyao could have made was not to protect Ye Xishui, but rather to use the same tactic Dai Hao employed to rescue Tianhun: attacking Yuwen Tuo to force him to defend himself. This would have immediately resolved Ye Xishui's predicament. However, he chose the most foolish option without hesitation.

“Yuwen Tuo’s body was formed from fragments of a divine artifact, and he was wearing Soul Bone Armor. There was no way I could kill him in one strike. What if he chose to withstand my attack and risk his life to kill you? In your condition at the time, you definitely couldn’t have withstood his sword. Xi Shui, I have wronged you in this life. To me, nothing is more important than you. If you die, what is the point of killing Yuwen Tuo a hundred or a thousand times? Without you, there is no joy in living in this world,” Long Xiaoyao said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui was deeply moved, and she could feel the profound love that Long Xiaoyao had for her.

These two can be considered the most meticulous about love. In the original novel, Ye Xishui gambled her own life to test Long Xiaoyao's love, but she went too far and both of them died.

Now, Long Xiaoyao would rather die than gamble with Ye Xishui's life, preferring to use his own body as a shield to save her.

"Xi Shui, you are so beautiful, you are still so beautiful, but I have grown old." Long Xiaoyao's voice was very gentle, as if he were confiding in someone.

A faint smile graced Ye Xishui's stunning face. "No, we are both old now. We may both die today, but in the end, I will be able to be with you and walk with you to the end of our lives. That's wonderful. This is the best ending that God has given me."

"Autumn bean sack." Just as the two were talking affectionately, Yuwen Tuo slowly descended from the sky and interrupted, "Um, you two, we should be in a life-or-death battle right now, right? Can you wait a while before your love-struck brains take over? After I kill you, you'll have plenty of time to chat in hell."

He was very annoyed. The fight wasn't over yet, so what were these two old guys up to? Couldn't they at least have some sense of occasion when flirting?
"Tuo, are you a devil?" Qiu'er complained.

Seeing the scene where Long Xiaoyao was willing to sacrifice himself to protect Ye Xishui, she was actually quite moved.

Although they were enemies, Ye Xishui greatly admired Long Xiaoyao's true feelings for her.

She had no idea that her husband, Tuo, was such a devil. In such a warm and cozy setting, he was actually sending them to hell to have their little chatter.

Yuwen Tuo almost forgot that Qiu'er was also a person from this world, and naturally, she was also somewhat love-struck. Seeing such genuine affection, she couldn't help but be moved.

Long Xiaoyao glanced at Yuwentuo and said, "Yuwentuo, you are fierce, cruel, and ruthless. You really don't understand love. Don't worry, I won't run away today. Give me some time. After I finish speaking, I will settle all our grievances with you."

"I don't have time for that. Third Soul Skill, Emperor Sword." Just as Yuwen Tuo raised the Xuanyuan Sword to make a move, Qiu'er suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Tuo, don't be like this. I know you hate them, but let's give them a little more time." Qiu'er advised on the surface, but secretly reminded him through telepathy, "Tuo, quickly take this opportunity to recover more soul power. Your recovery efficiency should be much stronger than theirs. Time can widen the gap in strength, making it easier to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill later. Right now, you are splitting your soul power to create clones while using the Fire God Sword to suppress the Death God Tower, so you can't unleash your full strength. We can't give them another chance to escape. Only a perfect Martial Soul Fusion Skill has the power to defeat two Limit Douluos in one go."

"Alright, alright, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You guys chat," Yuwen Tuo said helplessly. This world where love is everything is truly hopeless.

However, Qiu'er was right. Although Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were seriously injured, they were definitely not without the ability to fight back.

The two of them working together are not so easy to deal with.

Although Qiu'er could assist him, she was not a Limit Douluo after all. With her level 96 soul power, she could at most exert strength comparable to a level 98 Title Douluo. In a head-on collision, she was actually far from being a match for Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui. She had only provided support for Yuwentuo just now. What truly injured the two of them was Yuwentuo's Xuanyuan Sword.

To complete the divine test, Yuwen Tuo could not summon the Ice and Snow Emperors, and Qiu'er could not ask Di Tian for help. If they wanted to secure victory, then the Martial Soul Fusion Technique would be the best choice. However, in order to defeat Ye Xishui, Yuwen Tuo used the Divine Fire Clone, the True Body Possession, the Ninth Fire Soul Skill, the Diamond Fourth Awakening, and the Soul Bone Armor, which greatly depleted his soul power.

In his current state, even if he merges with Qiu'er, he cannot unleash the power that surpasses the strongest reincarnation.

It would be safer to pretend to let those two old guys flirt for a while, and then chop them up once I've recovered enough.

"Xiaoyao, weren't you in the Heavenly Soul Empire? Why did you suddenly come here?" Ye Xishui asked.

"Because while I was there, I was constantly on my mind, sensing that you were in danger, so I couldn't stay there any longer and came here," Long Xiaoyao said.

This was yet another decision that disregarded the overall situation. Their original strategy was for Ye Xishui to defend the Mingdou Mountains while Long Xiaoyao launched a strong attack on Maple Leaf City and infiltrated the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Now that he's suddenly gone, I wonder what the people from the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult will do if they encounter Poison Undying on the Heavenly Soul Battlefield? They'll probably curse him out.

"You just said you were very happy to be with me before you died. Does that mean, Xi Shui, you have forgiven me?" Long Xiaoyao asked hopefully.

He always believed that it was his shameless act of taking Ye Xishui's body back then that caused her to part ways with Mu En and later fall into evil. He had been guilty about this for a hundred years, which is why he would always protect Ye Xishui as his compensation to her.

“Fool, you’re such a fool. The thing you’ve been feeling guilty about doesn’t even exist. All these years, the person I’ve loved has always been you, and only you,” Ye Xishui cried.

In the final moments of her life, she cared about nothing and no longer needed to hide her secrets.

He recounted all the grudges and grievances from back then in great detail.

The reason she chose Mu En was on the orders of her teacher, Zhongli Laogui, to sow discord between the Black and White Holy Dragons. She didn't become an evil soul master because of their provocation; from the very beginning, she was actually the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Of all the things in the plan, only one was voluntary on her part: submitting herself to Long Xiaoyao.

Because he was the one she loved; as for Mu En, he was just a respected older brother in her heart.

"Alas, what a tragedy!" After hearing their story, Qiu'er couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for the two of them.

She glanced at Yuwen Tuo beside her, wanting to see his expression, but saw that the guy had his eyes closed, silently chanting the Divine Fire Clone Incantation, frantically circulating his cultivation technique to recover his soul power. He probably hadn't listened to a word, just waiting to recover before going to kill them.

At this moment, Qiu'er had only one thought in her mind.

Taku is truly a devil!
