Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 228 Seeing Guangling subdue the demon, I, Qian Renxue, will not be a burden to you.
The banquet at the pavilion ended, and the crowd gradually thinned out.

Qian Renxue chased after him under the moonlight, her golden hair fluttering lightly in the night breeze.

"Li Zhexian..."

She gently called to the figure in white.

"I'm going back to the main hall."

The smile in Li Zhexian's eyes faded slightly.

"But during the day, when the matter of the Spirit Hall was discussed..."

"No."

Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head, her golden eyes reflecting the moonlight, a barely perceptible ripple spreading across them.

"I still need to become stronger."

She gazed at the young man in white before her.

The thought in his heart, "Otherwise, how can Xue'er help you?" remained unspoken.

These days have been too smooth and pleasant.

Even someone as unrestrained and eccentric as Li Bai could not escape this fate.

At this moment, I also feel a dull ache in my heart, as if there is a knot in my heart that is hard to unravel.

"Come for a walk with me."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she put her slender hands behind her back and walked lightly in front of Li Zhexian.

She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the patterns on the bluestone floor tiles, and carefully hopped along, afraid of stepping into the cracks between the tiles.

The moonlight painted a silver edge around her, and even the swaying curves of her hair resembled carefully calculated lines of poetry.

Each time she avoided the cracks in the brickwork, her clear, bell-like laughter echoed through the quiet street.

This scene.

It was a beauty beyond the mortal realm.

A smile appeared on Li Zhexian's handsome face as he followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

His gaze was fixed on that innocent yet captivating girl.

The moonlight elongated their shadows.

They quietly overlapped in one place.

Lopsided……

squeak-

The windows on the second floor of the hostel opened almost simultaneously.

Feng Buyu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Oscar... one by one, heads peeked out.

Gazing at the two figures disappearing into the night at the end of the long street, everyone let out a long, drawn-out "whoosh."

I wandered from the hostel to Suzaku Street.

They then walked from Zhuque Avenue to the outskirts of Tiandou City.

All the way.

The two of them had their hands full of street snacks.

Their casual conversations were boundless and unrestrained, with everyone talking about whatever came to mind.

Qian Renxue recounted in detail the grandfathers who doted on her in the ancestral hall.

Li Zhexian inquired with great interest about the depth of their skills and even made a few presumptuous comments.

The two then reminisced about their perilous experiences in the Killing City, venting their shared animosity and complaints.

Finally, Li Zhexian said that it was good to keep that place, as it could keep all the evildoers in the world contained, and in the long run, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

They talked as if their souls were in perfect harmony.

But then they started arguing about whether the rice candy they had just bought was too sweet.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of Li Zhexian's courtyard.

The two stopped at the same time.

There was a moment of complete silence.

Suddenly.

"Li Zhexian..."

Qian Renxue suddenly turned around and took a step forward.

She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his waist, her beautiful face gently pressed against his chest, her eyes closed, her voice as soft as a dream:

"I want to stay with you forever..."

Li Zhexian wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and when he looked down, he could smell the cool and refreshing fragrance emanating from the girl's hair.

"Xue'er..."

He was about to speak.

But she raised her head and sealed it with her lips.

It's been a long time.

Qian Renxue stepped back slightly, her breath slightly ragged, her eyes shimmering with tears:
“Li Zhexian, I understand. You have the mountains and rivers in your heart, and you have too many things to do.”

"And what I admire is that young man who would venture to the far north and tread the bloody city for the sake of his promise, and who also has his country in his heart."

"I, Qian Renxue, will not be a burden to you!"

Every word struck a chord with Li Bai.

A warm current surged through his chest, and countless emotions welled up within him, which manifested only in a deeper embrace.

"I used to think the saying 'If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together day and night?' was quite boring."

"Ke Xue'er, after meeting you..."

Qian Renxue blinked her beautiful golden eyes. "How is it?"

"Then I found the poem increasingly uninteresting."

Li Zhexian slowly closed his arms, as if he wanted to meld the person in his arms into his very bones.

"If you truly love someone, you should spend every day and night with them, cherishing every moment you can be together."

Qian Renxue's eyes were brimming with tears as she nodded vigorously.

“In the future, Xue’er can come to find me, or we can find a place outside Wuhun City to meet.”

"it is good."

The two snuggled together for a few more moments.

Qian Renxue reluctantly withdrew from Li Zhexian's embrace.

Her slender hand slipped inside Li Zhexian's robe, and when her fingertips touched the angelic feather, a blush rose on her pretty face.

"You must keep it safe."

"If it gets warm, it means I'm thinking of you."

The words fell.

Qian Renxue suddenly unfurled angel wings behind her, retreating step by step, her gaze lingering on Li Zhexian.

Finally, she turned around abruptly, scattering starlight energy that transformed into a streak of light that shot towards the distant sky.

Until that glimmer of light completely blended into the night.

Li Zhexian then withdrew his gaze.

He turned around and pushed open the courtyard gate.

Click——

The wooden door opened slightly.

Two figures with their arms crossed suddenly came into view in the courtyard.

Li Zhexian's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

in the air.

One after another, sword energies condensed.

However, it was instantly shattered by two powerful auras.

"Come here, kid, explain this to me..."

The handsome young man's face turned red with anger. He crunched the candy in his mouth loudly, clenched his fists, and said:

"What you just said..."

"What do you mean by 'If the Demon-Slaying Guardian were to fight to the death, he might be able to fight the Light Feather Guardian to a standstill'?"

"Hmph, which hand did you use to hold Xue'er just now?"

"Hahahahaha!"

A burly man in dark blue clothing quickly stopped the handsome young man, his loud laughter causing plum blossoms to fall in a flurry.

"Fifth Brother, calm down!"

"We're all this age, why are we arguing with a junior!"

He stroked his chin, which was covered with a stiff stubble, and looked Li Zhexian up and down, nodding repeatedly in satisfaction.

"Not bad, kid!"

"You have great taste! Hahahaha!"

Having already learned the identities of these two people, Li Zhexian composed himself and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Junior Li Zhexian greets Senior Guangling and Senior Jiangmo!"

"Thank you both for your help five years ago. I will always remember it!"

"As for the combat strength of the seniors..."

"I was just chatting casually with Xue'er, please don't take it seriously."

five years ago.

The great battle in front of the Papal Palace.

At the critical moment, it was these two devotees who came to the rescue.

If it weren't for them...

The situation may still change.

Li Zhexian always kept this kindness in his heart.

"Hmph, I regret helping you now!"

Guangling Douluo glared at Li Zhexian, then turned his face away, still angry.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo nodded with a smile.

"We didn't misjudge him!"

"You've really improved a lot in the past five years, you're quite impressive!"

"We've come here for two reasons: first, to secretly protect Xue'er; and second, to see how things are developing between you and Xue'er!"

Li Zhexian said:

"This junior would certainly welcome you."

Come to his place, he may not have much else, but he'll give you plenty of alcohol.

Although Guangling Douluo is over ninety years old, he still has the heart of a child.

Li Zhexian's toasting and apology were of no use.

But when he took out the little trinkets he bought in the North.

His eyes lit up.

　I'll revise the next chapter, about ten minutes, haha.
