Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 51 The Allure of That Kiss

The moonlight and stars are sparse, and the branches and leaves are scattered.

Moon had already left, and Bebe sat alone on the futon, leaning against the stone wall.

Her elbows were resting on her knees, and her fingertips were supporting a thread woven from jade silkworm silk, with a pinkish-white pearl hanging from the bottom of the thread.

Staring intently at the pearl, he pondered many things, his thoughts drifting from the past to the future.

He wasn't worried that Zhang Lexuan would fail, but his concern kept him here.

Meanwhile, inside the cultivation room.

Zhang Lexuan has reached the final stage of condensing her first soul core, using the essence of the Moon Martial Soul to refine it.

Condensing the soul core is the process of transforming soul power from a liquid state to a solid state.

Generally speaking, in the initial stage, soul power is in a gaseous state. When the cultivation reaches the seventh ring, the soul power will gradually transform from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

However, when Zhang Lexuan was at the sixth ring of cultivation, her soul power had already completed the transformation from a gaseous state to a liquid state, which is one of the reasons why she dared to condense her first soul core at the seventh ring.

The cultivation room of the Golden Ancient Tree will provide her with sufficient vitality and soul power replenishment.

She has completed her seclusion and has now compressed her soul power, trapping all of it within a vortex.

Everything is ready except for the final step: opening up a space within the body to accommodate the soul core, and merging the martial soul's origin and soul power vortex.

Within the human body, there are currently only three locations where the soul core space can be opened: the space between the eyebrows, the chest, and the dantian.

If one wants to condense the first soul core using the method of Yin-Yang complementarity, then one must naturally choose the optimal location and origin.

Therefore, the origin was chosen as the origin of the martial soul, rather than a single attribute.

The space to accommodate the soul core was chosen to be between the eyebrows, the highest point of the human body among the three locations.

As the saying goes, "The bright moon shines three feet above your head, illuminating the entire earth."

The only weakness is the issue of mental control.

After all, according to Elder Mu, her mental strength was only barely up to standard.

The growth of mental strength has always been difficult, but now the die is cast and there is no turning back.

The vortex of soul power and the primal power of the Moon Martial Soul merged instantly in the space between the eyebrows under the control of spiritual power.

However, this time the weakness in mental strength did not hold him back, and he continued to coordinate the soul power vortex and the power of the martial soul's origin in an orderly manner.

All of this was thanks to the transformation of my previously tense mind into peace and tranquility.

The reason for the calm was that Zhang Lexuan sensed a familiar presence; the person she had been longing for had returned.

...That night, the moon shone exceptionally bright.

Zhang Lexuan walked out of the cultivation room, her long black hair flowing like a waterfall. On her forehead, between her eyebrows, there was a faint moon pattern, sometimes a waning crescent, sometimes a full moon.

She is now more beautiful than she was three years ago, serene and elegant, pure as the moon, and in the prime of her life.

His eyes darted left and right, but he couldn't see Beibei anywhere.

However, far from being disappointed, her lips even revealed a stunning curve.

The next instant, her vision went completely black, blocked by a hand.

Guess who I am?

Before she could speak, she felt a smooth bead roll down to her neck, connected to a silk thread.

"Beibei, did you bring me a present?"

Her slender, jade-like fingers pinched the round bead, rubbed it, and a refreshing coolness washed over her, instantly invigorating her spirits.

"This texture...it's pearl."

"I can't guess what kind it is exactly."

Only after the pearl necklace was completely fastened did Beibei remove her hand from her eyes.

Only then did Zhang Lexuan clearly identify the type of pearl she was holding in her fingers.

"Jade pearl from a clam!"

"I remember that the Jade Clam Pearl is only produced by the Jade Clam, a sea spirit beast. It produces only one pearl in its lifetime, and it must be ten thousand years old."

"The Jade Clam, which lives only in the deep sea, is extremely rare and hard to come by."

"You've gone into the sea?"

Beibei: "..."

That's a really "strange" question.

"No, it doesn't."

"When I was cultivating in the Body Sect, there was a secret cultivation place called Lake Abyss, which was as deep as the sea. At its deepest point, there was a ten-thousand-year-old jade clam."

"At that time, I was cultivating at the bottom of the lake. It concealed itself and tried to ambush me, but I escaped and even tore off its pearl."

"Jade pearl, also known as skin-stabilizing pearl, has the effect of moisturizing the skin and slowing down aging."

Given her relationship with Beibei, there was no need for her to refuse; she happily accepted it.

Taking Beibei's hand, we walked along the passageway out of the Sea God Pavilion.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for three years, the two were not at all awkward and naturally held hands and walked side by side.

Out of the corner of her eye, Zhang Lexuan glanced at Beibei and secretly compared the changes over the past three years.

Hmm... My body is enlarged proportionally, so I can look her in the eye now. Hmm... My expression has become much more resolute.

"The cultivation of the Body Sect must be very arduous, right?"

"fine."

"Hmm... It's early morning, there's still some time before dawn, I can't sleep well even if I go back to bed."

"Sister Lexuan, why don't you tell me about your college life over the years?"

"How about I tell you about my apprenticeship?"

"Okay, okay~"

The two walked hand in hand along the shore of Poseidon Lake.

They talked about life with joy, and their laughter and cheerful voices could be heard from time to time during meals.

Following the timeline, Zhang Lexuan recounted how she condensed her first soul core.

She brushed aside her messy hair, revealing a crescent moon mark as she leaned closer to Beibei.

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

"……Um."

"Relax, relax~"

"Don't worry, I'm known as Shrek Academy's greatest genius in a thousand years. Believe me, if I succeed once, I'll succeed a second time, a third time."

In order to end this heavy topic as soon as possible, Zhang Lexuan quickly spoke:

"Your turn, your turn."

"It's not fair if only I say it."

She deliberately changed the subject, and Beibei didn't insist on the past.

She didn't object to Zhang Lexuan embarking on the path of the three soul cores, but she was a little worried.

Following the topic Zhang Lexuan had started, Beibei continued talking.

It talked about the cultivation of the Body Essence Secret Method, the unique scenery of the natural barrier, and the Body Essence Sect disciples with their reckless and impulsive temperaments...

"Fool... Pfft~" Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pat his stomach.

"Can you still eat a whole bucket now? I need to tell the head chef in the cafeteria to give you extra food right away."

Beibei: "Uh...more or less."

The learning life in the Body Sect is mostly routine and even more tedious; the interesting things were quickly finished being told.

During the narration, Beibei suddenly recalled something.

The poison cannot kill him. The strange innate secret method of mastery, combined with his own knowledge, is the way to achieve a flawless golden body ten thousand years later.

He suddenly had a great idea!

"Sister Lexuan, can you do me a favor?"

"Okay." Zhang Lexuan never refused his requests.

Before she could react, Beibei grabbed her and pulled her close.

"Pop~"

Their lips met, causing Zhang Lexuan's pupils to widen and her mind to go blank for a moment, leaving her completely at a loss.

But as Ding's tongue unconsciously moved forward, their lips had already quietly parted, and a sense of loss washed over their tongue.
