Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 198 The Soul in the Golden Tree

"This acacia flower has a poignant story."

Dugu Han stroked Ning Tian's golden hair and asked with a smile, "Would you like to listen?"

"What story?"

"A love story about a god and a mortal."

Dugu Han slowly recounted the story of the Flower Goddess and the mortal.

The Flower Goddess and a young man who loves flowers, one divine and one mortal, disregard worldly prejudices and fall in love...

In the end, their affair was exposed. Gods and mortals are separated, and the Flower Goddess was captured and taken back to the divine realm... leaving the young man alone in the mortal world to wait. Every day, he gazed at the little white flower that represented the Flower Goddess, fell ill with lovesickness, and died from heartbreak.

Ning Tian leaned against him and listened quietly, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes without her realizing it.

Dugu Han reached out to wipe away her tears and said softly, "Do you still remember what I told you about becoming a god?"

"Ok!"

Ning Tian nodded gently, still somewhat immersed in the poignant love story between the Flower Goddess and the young man.

"This Acacia aurea represents a divine position, or even two divine positions in a certain sense."

"God's position?"

Ning Tian was stunned for a moment, then, disregarding the emotion in her heart, she looked at the Acacia Heartbreak Red in surprise, and then looked at Dugu Han in shock.

"Can this flower represent a deity, or two deities?"

"This is no ordinary flower, but the Acacia Heartbreak Red, known as the king of immortal herbs."

Dugu Han explained, "It is a token passed down by the Flower Goddess, and it also represents the most sincere love in the world. By recognizing it as its owner, one can gain the approval of the God of Love."

"The goddess of flowers, the goddess of love..."

Ning Tian thought for a moment and asked, "How do I establish a master?"

"Just think of your loved one and spit out a mouthful of blood."

Dugu Han handed her the Acacia Heartbreak Red: "If it can successfully recognize its master, it will detach from the black stone below and never wither."

"Let me try!"

Ning Tian sat up straight, took the Acacia Heartbreak Red Flower, and looked at the small flower connected to the black stone. His mind was filled with the image of Dugu Han.

She then circulated her soul power and activated her blood energy. Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the flower petals.

In an instant, the red acacia blossom quietly fell from the black stone and landed on a pair of slender jade hands.

Ning Tian held the fallen red acacia blossoms and looked at Dugu Han with deep affection.

Dugu Han also looked at Ning Tian.

Ning Tian nestled back into his arms and whispered, "Carry me to the bedroom!"

"it is good!"

Dugu Han picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

……

It wasn't until the afternoon that the two finally finished their chaotic battle.

Fine beads of sweat glistened on Ning Tian's flushed cheeks. She half-closed her eyes, nestled in Dugu Han's arms, savoring the afterglow.

Dugu Han held her and rested for a while. Then, he used his soul power to summon the Acacia Heartbreak Red that he had casually tossed aside and examined it for a moment.

The Acacia Heartbreak Red after recognizing its master is not much different from the one before recognizing its master, except that it is missing a piece of black stone.

After examining it for a while, he handed it to Ning Tiandan: "The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red will only recognize one master in its lifetime. It is related to the succession of the divine position. You should keep it for now."

"Ok!"

Ning Tian simply nodded slightly; she was too lazy to move at the moment.

Dugu Han smiled and put the Acacia Heartbreak Red aside, then put his arm around her and told her about the succession of the positions of the Flower Goddess and the God of Love.

Since the young man's death, the Flower Goddess has secluded herself, refusing to see anyone or concern herself with anything, requiring the Moon Goddess to visit her.

There is also the goddess of love, who is a fallen goddess, and her divine position is now being managed by the Nine-Colored Goddess.

"The Nine-Colored Goddess is Ning Rongrong's ancestor!"

Ning Tian spoke up, saying that there were records of Ning Rongrong's ascension to godhood in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

“I know, but you are not Ning Rongrong’s direct descendant, and she and we are not on the same side.”

Dugu Han shook his head. The succession of the God of Love's position is out of the question for now!
"Not on the same side..."

Ning Tian looked up in confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

You'll understand later!

As Dugu Han spoke, his large hand grasped a soft mass.

He squeezed it and felt it was a bit small, much smaller than Zhang Lexuan's and Han Ruoruo's.

There's a sense of youthful awkwardness.

"Oh, right, there are two more things I need to tell you."

Holding the soft object in his hand, Dugu Han said to Ning Tian in his arms, "I'm going to take you somewhere when I come back this time."

"What place?"

"A place where a divine position is passed down."

Dugu Han led them to the Howling Moon Mountains to help Zhang Lexuan hunt down the Howling Moon Wolf King. As a result, they accidentally stumbled upon the story of the Moon God's divine throne inheritance.

He also recounted in detail the benefits he and Han Ruoruo received after passing the Moon Goddess's test, as well as Zhang Lexuan's ongoing divine test.

Then he laughed and said, "I came back this time to take you to the place where the Moon Goddess inherited her legacy, so that you can undergo a divine test and gain some benefits."

Ning Tian was momentarily stunned after hearing this.

It took her a long time to come to her senses, and she exclaimed in shock, "You mean you've found the place where the Moon Goddess's divine position is passed down, and Zhang Lexuan is undergoing the divine test?"

"Not bad!"

"Then wouldn't she be able to inherit the divine position and become a god as long as she completes the divine test?!" Ning Tian exclaimed in shock.

“Basically!”

Dugu Han smiled and then brought up the second matter: "There's one more thing. I've found you two older sisters."

"Is this Sister Wu Ming? Dad told me about her..."

Ning Tianxia spoke unconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

She looked at Dugu Han in surprise and asked, "Two?"

"And the other one is Sister Ruoruo!" Dugu Han chuckled twice. "..."

Ning Tian looked at him speechlessly.

As far as she knew, Zhang Lexuan only had these two best friends, but Dugu Han didn't let either of them go.

"Does Zhang Lexuan know?" she asked after thinking for a moment.

Dugu Han nodded and said, "I know!"

"She has no objections?"

"no!"

"Then I have no objection!"

Ning Tian shook his head while lying on Dugu Han's body.

In fact, Zhang Lexuan is Dugu Han's real girlfriend.

Since Zhang Lexuan has no objections, it's pointless for her to have any.

Dugu Han looked at the obedient Ning Tian, ​​leaned down and kissed him, and said with a smile, "Sister Ruoruo came back with me. Tomorrow I will introduce you to her formally."

"Ok!"

Ning Tian nodded, but felt somewhat embarrassed.

She and Han Ruoruo had known each other for a long time, but back then Han Ruoruo was Zhang Lexuan's best friend, while now she was Dugu Han's other woman.

She couldn't help but feel a little awkward just thinking about seeing him tomorrow.

"Get up!"

At this moment, Dugu Han patted Ning Tian, ​​stood up and said, "I'll take you out for a stroll, and bring Wu Feng along too, let's all go out and have a get-together."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian also got out of bed.

The two quickly got dressed.

She put away the acacia heartbreak red flower that she had placed aside, and then walked out with Dugu Han in her arms.

The two left the inner courtyard, first finding Wu Feng, and then walked out of the academy together, strolling around Shrek City.

They wandered around until evening, and the three of them found the restaurant they used to frequent and went in for dinner together.

By the time we got back to the college, it was already evening!
The two first escorted Wu Feng back, and then walked back to the inner courtyard together.

Dugu Han escorted Ning Tian into his dormitory, and then headed towards Han Ruoruo's dormitory.

"came back!"

Han Ruoruo had just come out of the bathroom when she saw him return. She smiled and asked, "Did you tell Ning Tian about us?"

"I told you, you just washed it?"

"I just finished showering, why don't you go in and shower too!"

"Let's go together!"

Dugu Han smiled, stepped forward and hugged Han Ruoruo, then pushed open the bathroom door and went inside.

……

the next morning!
Dugu Han went out and brought Ning Tian over, allowing her and Han Ruoruo to formally get to know each other again. Then, he took the two women to stroll around Shrek City.

The three of them strolled around until the afternoon before returning to the academy together.

After returning to the inner courtyard, Ning Tian said goodbye to the two men and headed to his dormitory to continue his cultivation.

She already knew the levels of Zhang Lexuan and the other two girls. Zhang Lexuan was already a level 93 Title Douluo, and Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming were both level 80+ Advanced Soul Douluos.

But she hasn't even broken through to the Soul King level yet.

Although the difference in their soul power was due to their age, Ning Tian was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Dugu Han then led Han Ruoruo toward the Sea God Pavilion.

Before entering the Sea God Pavilion, he specifically told Han Ruoruo, "Sister Ruoruo, you should know that the Sea God Pavilion was carved from a single golden tree."

"I know!"

Han Ruoruo said with a smile, "This is not a secret. Many inner court disciples know about it."

"But there's one thing you don't know!"

Dugu Han stopped in his tracks, looking at the Sea God Pavilion in the distance.

Then he looked at Han Ruoruo and said, "In the Golden Tree, there is a sleeping soul."

"Ok?"

Han Ruoruo was startled and looked at him in shock: "A sleeping soul?"

"Correct!"

"A sleeping soul!"

Dugu Han cautioned, "Therefore, you must not discuss matters concerning the Land of Inheritance or the various deities within the Sea God Pavilion, lest you disturb that soul."

"I see!"

Han Ruoruo nodded, and when she looked at the Sea God Pavilion again, her eyes no longer held the respect they once had, but only a strange sense of panic.

She remembered that after the successive leaders of the Sea God Pavilion died, their souls would merge into the Golden Tree, but she hadn't thought much of it before.

But now it seems that they might be feeding that sleeping soul!

"Does Elder Mu know about this?" Han Ruoruo asked after a moment's hesitation.

"I don't know, and I doubt even the past masters of the Sea God Pavilion know."

Dugu Han shook his head. Ah Yin's existence was a top secret, and Tang San would definitely not dare to let outsiders know about it.

Moreover, Elder Mu had previously planned to merge his soul into the Golden Tree after his death.

If he knew, he would never have had this thought; he might even have angrily pushed the golden tree away.

At the very least, we should tear down Tang San's statue in the academy!
"Should we tell Elder Mu?" Han Ruoruo asked after thinking for a moment.

"I'll find a chance to tell the teacher when he gets back."

Dugu Han smiled and then said, "That soul has fallen into a deep sleep. As long as we don't talk about gods, there won't be any problem. Of course, it's actually okay to talk about gods, but to be on the safe side, it's best not to discuss it in the Sea God Pavilion."

"It's best not to say anything!"

Han Ruoruo felt relieved and followed Dugu Han toward the Sea God Pavilion.

But perhaps because she knew about the sleeping soul, the Sea God Pavilion, which she used to feel as warm as spring, now had a chilly feeling to it.
