The dragon scorpion's power was far greater than she had imagined.
That impact felt as if her internal organs had shifted.
Her body tumbled in the air, and her soul power was briefly disrupted, making it impossible for her to adjust her posture.
But the dragon scorpion wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Its body lunged out again, opening its blood-red maw to bite at Qian Renxue.
That mouth was filled with countless fangs, each one as sharp as a dagger.
If bitten, even the defense of a six-winged angel cannot withstand it.
Qian Renxue's eyes widened suddenly.
She wanted to activate her soul power and unleash her soul skill, but her body was still in mid-air, with nowhere to gain leverage.
A close call.
Just as that gaping maw was about to bite Qian Renxue...
A black figure appeared silently.
The Scepter of Destruction was raised high, and the black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring on the scepter burst forth with dazzling light.
"Second Soul Skill: Tear the Sky and Destroy the Earth!"
The scepter of destruction swung down suddenly.
Ten dark golden claw marks burst forth from the top of the scepter, like cracks tearing the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely at the dragon scorpion's head.
"boom"
The dragon scorpion's charge was abruptly interrupted, and ten deep wounds appeared on its head, from which black blood gushed out like a fountain.
Its body continued to lunge forward a few steps due to inertia, then crashed to the ground, rolling several times and breaking several large trees before finally coming to a stop.
"Destroy the source, annihilate!"
A dazzling light erupted from the Destruction Scepter in Gu Linyuan's hand.
At this moment, Gu Linyuan's soul power seemed to be completely drained.
Its scales finally shattered under the bombardment of the Dragon-Snake Annihilation Slash, and black blood flowed all over the ground.
But its vitality is extremely tenacious; even after suffering such severe injuries, it still struggles to stand up.
"ended."
The scepter of destruction slammed down, and the dark red gem at its tip burst forth with blinding light.
"boom."
The dragon scorpion's skull shattered, and its scarlet eyes finally lost their luster.
Its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Are you alright?
Only then did Gu Linyuan look at Qian Renxue, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes.
"You're really heartless, making me stand on the front lines alone for so long." Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in anger.
This guy is so clueless! Is that how girls use it?
Even though Qian Renxue always treated herself like a man, she was so angry that her chest heaved.
"I'm sorry. But I can only strike the dragon scorpion's head with full force when it is completely focused on you."
"Only in this way can we win. But then again, your strength is really not that great. Have you not been practicing hard enough?"
"Leave me alone."
Qian Renxue was fuming. But Gu Linyuan was right; she hadn't been diligently cultivating. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't. Her public identity was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and she had too many trivial matters to concentrate on cultivation.
"If you continue with this attitude, you'll probably have to resort to back channels to successfully inherit the divine position," Gu Linyuan said, stroking his chin.
"Okay, okay. If there's a back door, I won't be picky. Brother Lin Yuan, what do you think of me? Would you be willing to go through the back door for me?" Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes and said in a slightly charming voice.
These past few days, she has figured out Gu Linyuan's personality and immediately immersed herself in the plot.
However, she really wanted to devour Gu Linyuan, this piece of Tang Monk flesh.
Why would she come here if she wasn't going to work herself to death?
Qian Renxue was willing to become brothers with Gu Linyuan.
"Pah. Qian Renxue, I misjudged you. A daughter should be strong."
"Besides, the prerequisite for getting through to me is that you let me through the back door..." Gu Linyuan stopped mid-sentence.
He thought of the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect ten thousand years later, when Jiang Nannan, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, had Xu Sanshi use connections to get her in, and then ignored him ever since.
However, Qian Renxue probably didn't know what "going through the back door" meant. He was just saying it casually.
Chapter 28 Qian Renxue's heart is in turmoil as she absorbs another ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Qian Renxue's gaze froze.
Her entire face instantly turned bright red, and her eyes were filled with shame and indignation as she looked at Gu Linyuan.
"You bastard!"
Enraged, Qian Renxue kicked Gu Linyuan.
asshole.
Why not just go through the main entrance honestly? Why insist on going through the back door?
Why do men always take the unconventional path?
"No. You understand this too?"
His expression was somewhat subtle.
No, Qian Renxue can understand it too? Is this woman cheating?
"Hmph. Do you think I'm some naive little girl?"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, crossed her arms, raised her snow-white neck, and tried her best to maintain that noble and aloof appearance.
But the blush on her face had not completely faded, and the lingering shame and indignation still remained in her golden eyes.
During the time she spent infiltrating the Heavenly Dou Empire's palace, she witnessed all sorts of filthy things.
Those aristocratic playboys, outwardly respectable, are capable of anything. Some of these纨绔 (wan ku, meaning spoiled brats) even enjoy seeing women in stockings, and then... break down the door from behind.
She originally thought that Gu Linyuan was different from those people.
did not expect.
He also has this quirk.
Qian Renxue's gaze towards Gu Linyuan became complicated. There was disdain, shame and indignation, and a hint of...curiosity that was hard to explain.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't have that kind of perverse sense of humor. I was just saying it casually."
Gu Linyuan said helplessly.
Gu Linyuan helplessly shrugged, his expression sincere and innocent.
Having spent a lot of time surfing the internet in my past life, I could come up with all sorts of memes on the spot, sometimes my mouth was faster than my brain, and I didn't have time to filter them.
He just happened to think of the underlying meaning of using connections in his past life.
He just didn't expect that people in this world also knew about the concepts of front door and back door, and water and land routes.
Sure enough, no matter the world, that old pervert is always so creative.
Gu Linyuan sighed inwardly, then decided not to continue the topic.
If she continues, Qian Renxue will probably have to purify him with the holy light of the six-winged angel.
"You're injured, have some medicine."
Gu Linyuan took the wine flask off his waist and casually tossed it to Qian Renxue.
The wine pot was made of celadon, small enough to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. It had no decorations whatsoever, as simple as if it were a cheap item bought casually from a market.
Qian Renxue took the wine pot and looked at him suspiciously.
"Medicated wine?"
"Yes. I brewed it myself."
Gu Linyuan sat cross-legged on the ground and casually explained.
He dissolved the water of life into the wine, and would take a sip whenever he had a spare moment. It satisfied his cravings and nourished his body at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
In his past life, he disliked drinking, especially strong alcohol. The feeling of losing control of his body after getting drunk made him very uncomfortable.
But after coming into this world, he gradually developed an alcohol addiction.
However, given his current physical condition, he can't get drunk no matter what if he doesn't want to.
Qian Renxue unscrewed the lid of the pot, brought it to her nose, and smelled it.
A rich aroma of wine mixed with a faint scent of herbs and trees wafted towards her, the fragrance crisp and mellow, just one whiff of it was enough to invigorate her spirits.
She hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head back and took a small sip.
The moment the wine touched her lips, her golden eyes widened slightly.
It is sweet and refreshing, with a faint hint of sweetness. It slides down the throat and into the stomach, turning into a warm current that flows to every part of the body.
The minor injury she sustained from being hit by the dragon scorpion was almost completely healed instantly under the warm current of air.
Qian Renxue looked down at the wine pot in her hand and remained silent for a moment.
Then she took another sip.
This time, I drank a bit more than before.
Slightly tipsy, a faint blush rose on her cheeks, which, under the moonlight, resembled blooming peach blossoms.
She watched as Gu Linyuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. His sharply defined face appeared exceptionally serene in the moonlight.
