People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

However, before she finished her words, Mu Qingluan seemed to have thought of something, her eyelashes suddenly trembled, and the curve of her lips froze for a moment.

A hint of gloom quietly crept up her eyebrows, her fingertips unconsciously twisted the ends of her hair, and the golden bells made tiny sounds with the slight movements.

The joyful look in her eyes was gradually covered with a layer of mist, which was the melancholy unique to practitioners. Although they were both geniuses, she knew very well that the gap between herself and the person in front of her was becoming wider with the passage of time.

Envy grew like a vine in her heart, and the thorns of inferiority also quietly wrapped around her, making her throat bitter. She didn't know what to say.

Although she had long understood that there was an insurmountable gap between herself and a peerless genius like her senior brother, when she learned that the gap was so huge, Mu Qingluan's heart sank suddenly.

She looked at Xiao Ling, only to find that the figure in front of her was becoming increasingly out of reach, like a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. No matter how hard she tried to climb, she could not see any hope of catching up with, or even following, his figure.

As if he had sensed the fleeting sadness in Mu Qingluan's eyes, Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, then he raised the corners of his lips and said jokingly: "What are you thinking about, little girl? Yao Lao is a real Dou Sheng strongman. With his careful guidance, what does my breakthrough in cultivation mean? I can't lose his face!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaned over and gently rubbed Mu Qingluan's head. His bony fingers pinched her slightly hot face and said jokingly, "Don't forget, you are my most precious little sister. When my brother reaches the top of the continent one day, how can you be left out of the delicious food and spicy drinks?"

The fingertips brought with them a subtle warmth, which gradually dispelled the haze in the girl's eyes. Silver bells rang gently in her hair, and the crisp sounds mixed with the breeze blew away the remaining solemnity in the air.

Being teased so intimately by Xiao Ling, Mu Qingluan's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, and the haze in her eyes dissipated like morning mist meeting the sun.

She returned to her usual mischievous look, and slapped Xiao Ling's hand away with a coquettish look. The golden bells in her hair jingled as she moved: "Brother, don't lie to me! Even if you become a powerful figure who is famous all over the continent in the future, you must not forget me, your little sister!"

Although the girl spoke in a half-joking tone, her light blue pupils were filled with tiny starlight. The light of expectation was like a spark, striking straight into Xiao Ling's heart.

He looked at Mu Qingluan's red ears, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hold her up. When their eyes met, the girl panicked like a frightened deer, and subconsciously grabbed his clothes with both hands.

"Don't worry, you will always be my junior sister." Xiao Ling's voice was low and firm, and his warm breath brushed across her hair. "Since I have agreed, I will never break my promise."

The person in his arms hummed softly, and then, as if all the strength had been released, she buried her face in Xiao Ling's shoulder as docilely as a little bird.

After a while, the body in his arms gradually became soft, and the sound of even breathing gently brushed over his neck. Unknowingly, Mu Qingluan had fallen into a deep sleep.

The girl's eyelashes cast butterfly-wing-like shadows under her eyes, her pale cheeks were stained with a faint blush due to deep sleep, and the tense expression just now completely disappeared.

Perhaps it was because he had witnessed a thrilling fight before, and his mood fluctuated greatly between fear and relief, or perhaps it was because the fatigue from running around for days had already accumulated to a critical point.

At this moment, the taut string suddenly relaxed, and she let go of all her defenses, like a wandering baby bird finally finding its home nest. She curled up in the warm embrace with peace of mind, allowing herself to be completely overwhelmed by sleepiness.

Xiao Ling looked at Mu Qingluan sleeping peacefully in his arms, and a gentle arc rose unconsciously at the corner of his lips. He sighed softly, as if helpless, but also as if doting, and then he hugged the girl and jumped lightly, and his figure landed on the broad back of the Split Sky Seat as light as a flowing cloud.

Xiao Ling bent over and sat cross-legged on the back of the Split Sky Seat, carefully adjusting his posture. He leaned back slightly so that the girl could rest her head more comfortably in his arms.

His fingertips accidentally brushed across her flushed cheek, the touch was delicate and warm, as if he could feel the steady heartbeat through his fingertips.

At this moment, the moon rose and the sun set, and the stars in the sky were reflected in his eyes. The person in his arms was sleeping quietly, and Xiao Ling also felt a sense of peace in his heart unconsciously.

After receiving Xiao Ling's command, Likongzuo's slender and agile body swung like an arrow, and its four claws cut through the void, bringing up streaks of brilliant light.

But in an instant, this huge figure turned into a faint light in the sky and disappeared into the depths of the dark night...

……

At the same time, in the Beast Territory of Zhongzhou, inside an ancient ruin entangled by vines and ancient trees.

The originally silent atmosphere was suddenly broken by a surge of fighting spirit.

The woman in green sitting cross-legged on the jade platform slowly opened her eyes, and three enchanting green flowers spun rapidly in her pupils, and the air around them seemed to be slightly distorted wherever they passed.

The strange light made the surrounding environment flicker, and even the mottled runes on the stone wall were faintly visible under the light.

Then, after the woman let out a long breath, the light gradually dissipated, and the strange vision in her eyes gradually converged, and her eyes turned back to green.

At this time, beside the woman in green, a woman in a white dress walked over and said, "Qinglin, how did you deal with the soul of the ancient sky snake? Did it have any impact on you?"

Her eyes fell on Qinglin's pale but calm face with concern, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Sister Xian'er. Although the soul of this ancient sky snake has not been completely subdued by me, it has been bound by the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils. As long as I don't let my guard down, it won't have any impact on me."

Qinglin smiled, met the gaze of the Little Medical Fairy, and said,

"After we return to Xingyun Pavilion, we can ask the young master or the master to take a look. With their means, it shouldn't be difficult to completely deal with the soul of the ancient sky snake."

Chapter 608 Return to Xingyun Pavilion

The clue to this ancient relic located in the Beast Territory of Zhongzhou came from a map of the ruins of an ancient sky snake that Xiao Ling had previously obtained from a disciple of the Tianming Sect.

Before going out to Huazong this time, Xiao Ling left this map in Xingyun Pavilion.

After finishing their retreat, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin naturally got the map that Xiao Ling had specially left behind.

At that time, Xiao Ling was out and had not returned yet. The two of them happened to have nothing to do, so they decided to follow the clues on the map and come to this ancient ruins to explore.

Some clues recorded in this relic map are indeed true. This ancient relic hidden in the Beast Territory of Zhongzhou is indeed closely related to the ancient sky snake.

During the exploration process, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin reaped a lot of rewards. Not only did they find many rare treasures, but Qinglin also accidentally discovered several ancient rare snake beasts that had long been extinct in the outside world with the unique ability of the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, and brought them under his command.

However, just as the two went deep into the deepest part of the ruins, the place where the ancient sky snake fell, something unexpected happened. The soul of the sky snake, which was thought to have dissipated long ago, was strangely dormant there.

The defenseless Qing Lin was ambushed by it due to her negligence. The remaining soul of the ancient celestial snake tried to parasitize her and seize this perfect body with the three-flower pupil of the green snake.

But Qinglin is no longer the young girl she used to be. After years of hard training, she has mastered the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to perfection.

Faced with the invasion of the Sky Serpent's soul, she did not fall into a passive position. Instead, she relied on the mystery of her pupil technique to firmly suppress this force.

Not only that, Qinglin can also skillfully guide this power for his own use, making it a special existence that can enhance his own combat power.

However, the soul of the ancient sky snake is extremely special. Even if Qing Lin temporarily suppresses it with his superb pupil technique, he cannot completely tame it.

She was merely taking advantage of the weak period when the soul did not yet have a physical body and using the power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to forcibly restrain it, but this method of treating the symptoms and not the root cause was not a long-term solution.

It was for this reason that she discussed with Little Medical Immortal and planned to ask Xiao Ling or Yao Chen for help after returning to Xingyun Pavilion.

Although with Qinglin's qualifications, as his cultivation improves, he can slowly refine this power.

However, doing so will not only take a long time, but also require a lot of energy, and if you are not careful, unexpected situations may occur.

In comparison, using Xiao Ling and Yao Chen's methods to completely eradicate hidden dangers is undoubtedly a safer choice.

After all, with their strength, dealing with such problems is just a piece of cake, and there is naturally no reason for them to face such risks alone.

After the discussion was complete, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin looked at each other tacitly and did not linger any longer.

During this exploration, they have collected all the rare treasures in the ruins. In addition, Qinglin is still suppressing the unstable soul of the ancient sky snake, so it is obviously not advisable to stay here for long.

The two figures turned into two streams of light, one purple and one green, and rushed away along the path they came from like an arrow. The ancient forbidden runes along the way dimmed under the impact of their fierce fighting spirit, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

In just a moment, two streams of light broke through the numerous barriers deep in the ruins, and swept through the mottled stone door at the entrance with a whistling wind.

When the halo dissipated, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin had already landed steadily on the beast wasteland outside the ruins. The miasma that filled the air and the roars of monsters coming from afar created a thrilling atmosphere around them.

The miasma of the beast realm spread like an inky veil. The roars of high-level monsters could be heard in the distance, shaking the ground beneath their feet.

The ground covered with rotten leaves was glowing with an eerie glow, and the poison sacs hanging between the vines would burst from time to time, splashing out corrosive mucus.

But Qinglin and Xiao Yixian turned a blind eye to this. They stood side by side. Qinglin's fighting spirit formed an invisible barrier that isolated all the poisonous gases around her. Xiao Yixian, who was in a poisonous body, naturally didn't care about the poisonous gases at all. Instead, she felt a little refreshed with every breath.

It is this harsh environment that has become the best natural barrier for the ancient sky snake ruins.

The seventh- and eighth-level monsters lurking around are like loyal guards, and the layers of miasma and space turbulence are like natural restrictions, which discourage countless adventurers.

Even if a lucky person finds the entrance, he or she will often be trapped in numerous dangers. It is difficult for them to even reach the main door of the ruins, let alone explore the precious treasures within the ruins.

However, to the two of them, these dangers that terrified others were just small episodes along the way. The harsh environments and dangerous monsters that seemed very harsh to other adventurers had no effect on them at all.

Especially the Little Medical Fairy, her battle qi cultivation is now hovering at the threshold of half-step to half-saint. Looking across the entire Zhongzhou, few people can match this level of cultivation, except for those veteran strong men who have lived in seclusion for many years.

As Qinglin's green eyes suddenly emitted a bewitching light, the green snake's three-flower pupil spun rapidly, and ripples appeared in the void.

A dark crack was torn apart with a loud bang, and the huge body of the eighth-level Nine Nether Earth Python poked out from it. Its scales glowed with a cold metallic light, and a ferocious light flashed in its snake pupils.

It hovered in mid-air, and its powerful pressure pressed down like a substance. Many magical beasts around it whose strength had not reached the eighth level fell to the ground and roared. Even the miasma in the surrounding air was stirred up by this breath.

Although using the Nine Nether Earth Python to travel will attract some attention, it will rarely cause any trouble, because everyone knows that the Nine Nether Earth Python is one of the three major tribes in the world of Warcraft and is very powerful. Generally speaking, no one will easily provoke them unless there are special circumstances.

The Little Medical Fairy tapped her toes lightly, and together with Qinglin, she landed steadily on the broad back of the Dark Python.

As Qinglin's fingertips lightly touched the python's head, the Nine Netherworld Python let out a deafening roar towards the sky, and its body shot out like an arrow, dragging a dazzling light behind it. In the blink of an eye, it tore through the clouds and rushed towards the direction of Xingyun Pavilion.

Under the vast sky, the slender figure gradually turned into a black dot and gradually disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind, echoing in the sky above the beast domain for a long time.

……

Before setting out from Xingyun Pavilion to Huazong, Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan took advantage of the time between journeys to visit some of the special areas along the way.

On this return trip, the two were eager to go home and did not stay any longer.

The Sky Splitter raised its head and roared, turning into a silver light that streaked across the sky. With the amazing speed of this high-level magical beast, in just a few days, it carried the two of them across thousands of mountains and rivers and returned to the Tianxing Mountains in the southern region of Zhongzhou.

The familiar clouds and mists lingered among the green mountains. Mu Qingluan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After all the traveling, she finally returned to this familiar world.

Rayquaza hovered majestically in the void outside the starry sky, its huge body blocking out the sky and the sun.

After Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan landed safely, it raised its head and let out a long, earth-shaking cry, stirring up gusts of wind, as if saying goodbye to the two.

Afterwards, the overlord of the Tianxing Mountains did not stop, and shot out like an arrow, disappearing into the depths of the mountains in the blink of an eye.

He had been traveling around with Xiao Ling these days, and even with his strong physique, he couldn't help feeling tired.

Now that it has returned to its familiar territory, it naturally needs to find a place to relax and have a good rest, train its subordinates, and enjoy its own leisure time.

Looking at the agile figure of Rayquaza turning into a black light in the sky, Xiao Ling raised a smile at the corner of his lips, and did not linger any longer, and withdrew his gaze.

Immediately, dark blue runes rose from Xiao Ling's palm, and the moment his fingertips passed through the void, ripples appeared in the space like a mirror.

A silver channel slowly unfolded, emitting mysterious spatial fluctuations.

When the silver space channel was completely formed and the flowing runes outlined mysterious patterns, Xiao Ling did not hesitate at all. He leaped up like an arrow, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind. In an instant, he was immersed in the flashing light of the channel, leaving behind a fleeting afterimage.

Mu Qingluan followed closely behind, her hair was picked up by the power in the passage, and she and Xiao Ling turned into streams of light and disappeared into it.

As the figures of the two people completely disappeared, the space channel suddenly shrank and dissipated into the air like the receding tide.

The silver light that was flickering just now was completely annihilated, leaving only a few leaves that were blown away by the aftermath of the energy slowly drifting down, silently telling of the spatial anomaly that had occurred here.

……

The moment I stepped into the Xingyun Pavilion, the unique buzzing sound of the space channel still lingered in my ears.

Xiao Ling raised his hand to signal the disciples on duty at the passage to skip the formalities. Without stopping for a moment, he and Mu Qingluan turned into two streams of light that streaked across the sky.

The fighting spirit of the two men surged, leaving a brilliant trail among the clouds as they headed straight towards the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were sitting opposite each other, drinking and chatting leisurely.

Noticing the sound of breaking air getting closer, the two men smiled at each other, their eyes seemed to penetrate the space, waiting for the arrival of the two familiar figures.

With a creaky sound, the main hall door slowly opened, and Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan stepped in side by side.
