Douluo Dragon King: The Calamity of the Dead, Reviving Qian Renxue

Luo Yang looked utterly dejected.

"This kind of curse usually doesn't take effect immediately, especially since you're still so young."

Zhang Huanyun continued to comfort her, saying, "According to records, this kind of curse takes at least several years to take effect. Besides, once you are strong enough, you might be able to resolve it."

"Alright, don't think too much. Get some rest these next few days. In a few days, your eighth aunt will personally escort you to the Spirit Pagoda."

After saying that, he patted Luoyang on the shoulder.

The other Blood Gods also stepped forward, offering encouragement and advice, and said many words.

A moment later, everyone left one after another, leaving only Luo Yang and Xue Ba, who had been standing quietly to the side, in the medical room.

"Don't be afraid."

Xue Ba walked to the bedside and sat down, gently rubbing Luo Yang's face, and said softly, "They're right, it's not so easy for abyssal creatures to get out."

"Even if that Black Emperor really went mad and ran away at any cost, his strength would be suppressed by most of the dimensional rules. Once he's on our territory, it's hard to say who will deal with whom."

I hope so...

Luo Yang sighed inwardly.

If it really comes to that, it seems we can only... lie down and let ourselves be ridiculed.

Xue Ba changed the subject, seemingly casually asking, "What do you think of that Black Emperor's appearance?"

The problem came rather abruptly.

Luo Yang blinked, recalling the Black Emperor's appearance.

To be fair, the Black Emperor's appearance perfectly conforms to human aesthetics, and is even more stunning than all the internet celebrities and stars he had seen in short videos in his previous life.

It was a kind of beauty that transcended racial boundaries, possessing a bewitching allure—dangerous, yet seductive.

"It looks pretty good," he answered honestly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature inside the medical room seemed to drop by two degrees.

Xue Ba didn't speak, but her eyes narrowed slightly. Her fingers slid from Luo Yang's hair to his ear and gently pinched his earlobe.

The movements were very gentle, but Luo Yang inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

"Oh?" Blood Eight still smiled, and said softly, "How good-looking? Better-looking than me?"

This is a life-or-death question!

Luo Yang's heart skipped a beat, and his survival instinct kicked in instantly!

"The Black Emperor is quite handsome, but that kind of handsomeness is cold and aloof, like a sculpture. Aunt Ba is different."

Luo Yang gave an innocent smile, looking at Xue Ba's gradually narrowing eyes, and spoke faster.

"Auntie Ba is a living, breathing beautiful woman. She laughs, gets angry, and ruffles my hair. She cooks sometimes and burns the food, but she puts her heart into it. Does Black Emperor have any of these qualities? She's not even human!"

Xue Ba was stunned.

Luo Yang pressed his advantage, his expression becoming even more sincere: "And Aunt Ba will always be the most special person in my heart. 'A beauty that could rival the heavens and the earth, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky'—these words were coined for Aunt Ba."

The silence lasted for three seconds.

Then, Xue Ba burst out laughing.

She released her grip on Luo Yang's earlobe and instead lightly flicked his forehead: "Smooth talker. Where did you learn that from?"

But her expression clearly brightened, and the dangerous aura emanating from her body dissipated.

"Self-taught." Luo Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and grinned. "A skill I specially developed to make Aunt Ba happy."

"Well, you little rascal, you still have a conscience. If you dare to say that other women are prettier than me, then your aunt has really spoiled you for nothing all these years."

Xue Ba gave a soft snort.

But the next second, her expression turned serious again.

She suddenly reached out, cupped Luoyang's face in her hands, and forced him to look directly at her.

"Luoyang, listen carefully." Her voice was low, and she enunciated each word clearly. "What I'm about to say is not a joke."

Luo Yang was taken aback by her sudden seriousness.

"What if one day you really get kidnapped by the Black Emperor, or some other random woman..."

Xue Ba's eyes were fixed on him, and Luo Yang couldn't understand the complexity in his gaze. There was worry, reluctance, and an almost obsessive possessiveness.

"I won't let you get away with this."

She moved even closer, her breath almost brushing against Luo Yang's face.

"I will find a place where no one can find you, and lock you up. No sunlight, no one else, only me visiting you every day. One day, one year, one lifetime, until you are too old to move anymore."

She spoke slowly and earnestly.

These words sound like something a yandere would say, but Luo Yang could sense that she genuinely thought so.

The medical room fell silent, save for the occasional ticking of the medical equipment.

Xue Ba stared at him, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

Fear? Anxiety? Or crying and promising that you will never be tempted by a bad woman?

However, Luo Yang simply watched her quietly for a long time.

Then he shook his head.

"I'm not afraid."

Xue Ba's handsome brows furrowed slightly.

"Because if I could spend my whole life with Aunt Ba," Luo Yang said softly, but every word was clear, "I would be very happy."

"..."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Xue Ba froze on the spot.

Her hands were still cupping Luo Yang's face, but the temperature at her fingertips suddenly rose. Then, her eyes slowly widened, her pupils slightly contracted, and her lips unconsciously parted a little.

Being with her for the rest of my life... I'm so happy and joyful...

Is this considered a confession?!

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a blush began to spread from her neck, across her cheeks, and finally even the tips of her ears turned pink.

"I...I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"

Xue Ba's voice suddenly rose, urgent and panicked. He let go of his hand and tried to back away, but almost fell off the bed.

"You...you're going to get married and have children in the future! How can you possibly stay with me forever? Do you...do you expect me to bear your children...?"

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

in case……

If we really stay together forever...

in case……

If we really do want to have children in the future...

The child's eyes are just like his, his nose is like his, and his smile is just like his...

Ahhh, Blood Eight, what are you thinking?!

Xue Ba suddenly covered his face, curling up like a boiled shrimp, the skin peeking out from between his fingers so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Luoyang: "..."

No, he only said one sentence, why such a big reaction?

Furthermore, her level of innocence suggests she's been single since birth; if she were to actually fall in love, she'd likely be completely under his thumb.

"That Eighth Aunt?" Luo Yang asked tentatively. "I'd like to be alone for a while. I haven't fully digested the blessing from this dimension yet."

"Huh? Oh! Okay, okay!"

Xue Ba practically sprang up, her back to Luo Yang, feeling as if steam was rising from the top of her head. She didn't dare to look Luo Yang in the eye.

"You, you should focus on your cultivation! Auntie Ba won't bother you anymore! If you need anything, just call us!"

After saying that, she left as quickly as if she were fleeing, forgetting to even close the door.

Luo Yang looked at the open door, and after a long while, smiled helplessly.

"What's going on here...?"

He shook his head, closed his eyes again, and guided the power of the dimensional blessing within him.

At the corner of the corridor, Xue Ba leaned against the wall, his hands covering his chest.

The heartbeats there are frighteningly fast.
