Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 352 The Perfection of Light and Darkness, and Qian Renxue's Affection
"I really envy you. When I was a kid..."

Qian Renxue couldn't help but speak up and talk about her childhood. Unlike Yu Xiaolie, who ventured out on his own, her childhood could be described as being pampered.

The senior deities doted on her like their own granddaughter, and all the elders and bishops treated her with utmost respect.

"Perhaps it was because I was naive and inexperienced that Grandpa thought I was too spoiled, so Sister Dong'er, in order to toughen me up, made me..."

But she stopped abruptly as she was about to speak, almost revealing that she had used the alias Xue Qinghe to infiltrate the Tian Dou royal family.

This is a political matter secretly planned by Sister Dong'er.

Yu Xiaolie glanced at her with a half-smile, then slowly took out an exquisite token from his pocket and twirled it between his fingers.

The token gleamed with a metallic sheen in the firelight, clearly engraved with the emblem of the Heavenly Dou royal family and the three characters "Xue Qinghe".

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly: "You actually still kept it?"

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it and covered her mouth in annoyance.

Doesn't this mean admitting that he is Xue Qinghe?

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaolie did not expose her, but smiled meaningfully and put the token back into his pocket: "After all, it was given by His Highness the Crown Prince himself, so I have to keep it as a memento."

Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed, but she did not refute.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became subtle.

The campfire crackled, and the fluorescent glow from the crystal stones mingled with the starlight.

Qian Renxue felt her heart race, and an indescribable emotion swelled in her chest.

Their eyes met in the firelight, and they both saw an unspoken understanding in each other's eyes.

She suddenly realized that Yu Xiaolie had known her identity since she was undercover, but had never revealed it.

This realization surprised her, yet also brought her a strange sense of relief.

The night breeze swept through the valley, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Qian Renxue unconsciously moved closer to Yu Xiaolie, and their shadows merged into one on the crystal ground.

On this night where light and shadow intertwine, an indescribable emotion quietly grows, like the stones in Crystal Valley that silently glow after absorbing sunlight, blooming quietly in the darkness.

……

Spirit Hall, inside the worship hall.

Qian Daoliu sat quietly in the center of the angel altar, with the phantom of a six-winged angel slowly flapping behind him.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in his golden pupils.

With a light tap of his fingertips, he extended his divine sense along the mark between himself and Qian Renxue, sensing his granddaughter's aura.

That aura gradually changed from its initial immaturity and confusion to a more composed and well-rounded state, even becoming more solid than before.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly regained his placid expression.

"This girl has made more progress than I expected."

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the distance through the stained glass windows of the dome.

The path to becoming a god is long, but Qian Renxue's growth rate far exceeds expectations.

"It seems she has found her answer."

He sighed softly and closed his eyes again.

……

the other side.

The alternation of day and night in Crystal Valley seemed to be accelerated.

Morning dew condenses and evaporates, and crystals absorb sunlight during the day and emit fluorescence at night, in an endless cycle.

Qian Renxue and Yu Xiaolie seemed to have been forgotten in this secluded secret realm, cultivating, sparring, and talking day after day, occasionally sitting silently facing each other, watching the starry river flow.

Three months later, the energy within Yu Xiaolie's body finally reached a delicate balance.

Darkness was as black as ink, and light was as bright as flame. The two no longer suppressed each other, but instead slowly rotated around his dantian, forming a "yin-yang vortex".

With each rotation, wisps of chaotic energy emanated from it, automatically absorbing various energies from heaven and earth to nourish its divine core.

This is inseparable from the nourishment and help of Qian Renxue's sacred light energy. Now, the light attribute in Yu Xiaolie's body also carries a trace of the six-winged angel god's flavor.

Qian Renxue's progress was equally astonishing.

She no longer instinctively repelled dark energy; instead, she learned to coexist with it. Most importantly, she finally understood that darkness is not absolute evil, and that the essence of order is balance, not the annihilation of darkness.

At this moment, the angelic holy sword shimmered with a warm golden light in her hand.

Unlike its initial sharpness, the golden light now possessed a resilient inclusiveness. When it came into contact with dark energy, it was neither eroded nor forcibly purified, but rather controlled according to Qian Renxue's own will, choosing how to respond.

That morning, as she closed her eyes and concentrated, the light screen of the seventh test suddenly unfolded in her mind:

[Eye of Order assessment completed. Reward: 75% Angel God Affinity]

[The Eighth Test of the Angel God: Judgment of the Seven Deadly Sins!]

Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes and met Yu Xiaolie's gaze.

Yu Xiaolie's gaze was intense; he could see the changes in Qian Renxue. He casually tossed her a crystal and said calmly, "Congratulations, your progress is faster than I expected."

Qian Renxue held the crystal and suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.

Both of them have achieved their goals, and logically, it's time for them to go their separate ways.

But no one mentioned leaving.

Over four months of living together day and night, and conversations around the campfire every night, have given them a deep understanding of each other's experiences and feelings.

Qian Renxue's feelings for Yu Xiaolie have reached their peak, and Yu Xiaolie has also gained a new understanding of her. In his eyes, Qian Renxue is resolute and pure, talented but not arrogant.

"Let's practice some more?"

Qian Renxue suddenly spoke, and a ball of golden light condensed at her fingertips.

"Perhaps if we spar again, you'll suffer at my hands." Qian Renxue's tone carried a long-lost air of arrogance.

Yu Xiaolie chuckled softly, stood up, and the Asura Demon Sword was already in his hand: "Then let's give it a try."

Two figures crossed paths in the center of Crystal Valley.

The Angelic Holy Sword and the Asura Demonic Sword collided, exploding with golden light and blood-red radiance, and the shockwave sent surrounding rocks flying.

This time, the initial tentative and awkward exchanges were gone.

Qian Renxue's swordsmanship remained sacred, but it had gained a touch of Yu Xiaolie's unpredictability, with the sword light sometimes shining like the blazing sun and sometimes as dim as the moonlight.

She spread her six wings, flipped in mid-air, and swept her sword horizontally.

Yu Xiaolie leaned back to dodge, and the demonic sword swung upwards in the same direction, its sword energy like a rainbow.

"clang--!"

The two swords clashed, the energies of light and darkness clashing, the murderous aura of the Asura Demon Sword and the holy power of the Angelic Holy Sword violently collided, ultimately exploding with a deafening roar—

"Thorn-"

The blast wave tore their sleeves.

Qian Renxue's white dress split open at the shoulder line, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin. Under the reflection of gold and crystal light, her skin was like the finest mutton fat jade, every inch exuding holiness and allure.
Yu Xiaolie's black robe was also torn by the sword energy, revealing the smooth and powerful muscle lines from his chest to his waist, outlining a wild beauty.

The two of them froze at the same time.

Qian Renxue's face flushed instantly, and she instinctively hugged herself, but she couldn't hide her slender shoulders and neck and her exquisite waistline.

Yu Xiaolie quickly turned his face away, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"..."

"Find some clothes to wear."

Silence spread in the air.

After a long while, Qian Renxue ignored her and suddenly let go of her hand.

Taking a step forward, she gently turned Yu Xiaolie's face with her fingertips, forcing him to look into her eyes.

Her eyes, gleaming in the light, resembled molten gold. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breath brushed against his lips: "Xiao Lie, look at me."

Yu Xiaolie's eyes suddenly darkened.

The Asura Demon Sword and the Angel Holy Sword were carelessly tossed aside.

But the swords happened to cross, reflecting the overlapping figures of the two.

At this moment, the light of the crystal seemed to have a mind of its own, gently enveloping everything and hiding the sounds of breathing and heartbeats in the depths of the night.
