My Martial Soul is My Fiancée in Douluo

"Child, make your choice! Correct, you pass! Failure, and you enter a deep adventure!" The calm voice carried a hint of mockery.

Zheng Li was speechless.

Damn! Is this Tang Bohu courting Qiuxiang? No, it should be Zheng Li courting Meng Xiaonai!

The key point is, when Tang Bohu was doing the choosing, there weren't that many "Qiuxiangs"!

"I have to say, this isn't quite right. Not to mention that because I defeated that uncle earlier, the adventure difficulty for both Meng Xiaonai and me was lowered, but look at the pattern from just now—there were only two little figures on it! Shouldn't that mean a choice between two?"

Zheng Li stared at the one hundred identical "Meng Xiaonais" in front of him and argued with the Valley of Love and Emotion.

There is no way it should be like this!

The calm voice explained: "The difficulty has been lowered; before it was lowered, it would have been double! The pattern does not represent the content! Make your choice within three minutes, or you will directly enter a deep adventure!"

"Three minutes! What the hell!"

Even Tang Bohu was given the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

This is a trap!

"There is now less than three minutes left, child, hurry up."

Zheng Li: "..."

Since he couldn't resist, was he just supposed to "enjoy" it? Helpless, Zheng Li had no choice but to look at the one hundred "Meng Xiaonais" before him.

At this moment, all one hundred Meng Xiaonais were looking at him with emotionless eyes...

"Hiss..."

Zheng Li felt the hair on his entire body stand up after just one glance. It was so... terrifying...

If just one Meng Xiaonai stared at him with such eyes, he would find it hard to bear, let alone... one hundred "Meng Xiaonais"!

Just imagine, how would it feel to have one hundred identical girlfriends staring at you? That was exactly how Zheng Li felt.

Is he in the Valley of Love and Emotion, or is he watching a horror movie?

Wang Xin'er felt her eyes blurring inside the bubble, and she felt a bit dazed, muttering softly: "So many pretty big sisters..."

She even ignored the word "lover" in the calm voice's statement.

None of the one hundred "Meng Xiaonais" spoke.

They must have been forbidden from doing so, and even their movements were identical.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Zheng Li frowned tightly; honestly, he couldn't tell the difference.

What the Valley of Love and Emotion simulated was simply a bug! Whether it was their expressions, the details, or even their scent, everything was the same.

He couldn't even feel anything through the connection with his Martial Soul.

"This shouldn't be..."

Based on his previous experience, Zheng Li was very clear that the Valley of Love and Emotion did not have the ability to sever his connection with Meng Xiaonai.

"One last minute remaining."

The calm voice reminded him.

"So fast..." Zheng Li said, looking at one of the "Meng Xiaonais" in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes and earnestly felt the connection between himself and Meng Xiaonai. Trying to identify them one by one was not a good method.

The key was that there wasn't enough time!

Half a minute passed, then another twenty seconds. With three seconds left, Zheng Li suddenly opened his eyes, looked up, and said: "None of these one hundred are Meng Xiaonai!"

"Are you sure of your answer?" the calm voice asked.

"I'm sure!" Zheng Li nodded.

The connection had indeed weakened, as if it had been affected by something, but it hadn't been severed! In one fleeting moment, he had still felt it.

And then he was certain.

The emotional outcome was the same; he really suspected that the Valley of Love and Emotion had watched the movie Tang Bohu Courting Qiuxiang.

Hearing Zheng Li's words, the calm voice was silent for a moment before saying: "Correct. Second round, adventure, cleared. Why did you guess this answer?"

Zheng Li smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't a guess. Although I don't know what method you used, you didn't completely sever our connection."

"...You and your Martial Soul lover are quite unique." After a moment, the calm voice said this.

In fact, the original words were: Your Martial Soul is very unique.

But since they were partners, she didn't find it appropriate to say "your Martial Soul" over and over again.

Zheng Li smiled and said nothing.

The one hundred "Meng Xiaonais" then turned into golden light and vanished, and Zheng Li was once again enveloped by the bubble.

In the Gold and Silver Space, a figure appeared amidst the hazy two-colored halo. This figure was not the previously blurry one; the figure was Meng Xiaonai.

She had seen the process of Zheng Li's adventure clearly from here. After Zheng Li was enveloped by the bubble, she disappeared and returned to the Transparent Space.

The roulette wheel spun.

The golden light in the shape of a clock hand did not move, leaving only Xiao Nai alone, though she didn't need anyone else anyway.

When the roulette wheel stopped, Xiao Nai frowned as she looked at the "pattern."

The pattern was a cloud, a glazed-colored cloud, and it was the only one among the six patterns on the roulette wheel that had any color.

The cloud was easy to recognize, but what could it possibly represent?

At this moment, the calm voice spoke up to explain: "The rule is: Illusion! You will experience an illusion. If you pass the illusion, you clear the second round; if you fail, you will enter a deep adventure and suffer mental trauma! The rewards have been weakened based on your previous victory."

"Oh, so it's an illusion." Xiao Nai's blue eyes remained completely indifferent, even ignoring the mention of mental trauma, "Let's begin!"

Calm voice: "..."

Without another word, golden and silver light manifested around Xiao Nai. The light appeared dreamlike and distorted, and within it, Xiao Nai's emotionless eyes instantly lost their focus.

Clearly, she had already been pulled into the illusion.

Zheng Li's expression was full of worry. An illusion... they had never experienced such methods before, and he didn't know if Xiao Nai would be able to pass.

Not to mention that failing would result in mental trauma!

At this moment, inside the illusion.

"Has it not started yet?" Xiao Nai muttered.

"The adventure begins."

The calm voice spoke, and the same dual-colored light from before enveloped the Xiao Nai inside the illusion, though this time, it made her notice something.

Then, the Xiao Nai within the illusion entered a second layer of illusion.

In a forest, a fire-red giant python over twenty meters long flicked its tongue. In front of the giant python stood "Zheng Li."

"Zheng Li" was sweating profusely, shouting: "Xiao Nai, I'll hold him off, you go quickly!"

Xiao Nai: "..."

It was just that simple?

Although it felt very real, wouldn't one realize it was an illusion just by the change in environment?

Does realizing it's an illusion mean it breaks? Not necessarily.

"It doesn't seem to be the kind of illusion I imagined," Xiao Nai muttered, "How do I pass it?"

The giant python? Zheng Li? After thinking for a moment, Xiao Nai looked at the two factors of the illusion.

"Do I have to kill one of them?"

The fake "Zheng Li" spoke again, anxiously urging: "Xiao Nai, hurry and go! What are you standing there for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant python lunged down and knocked "Zheng Li" flying with a single strike.

Even though it was an illusion, Xiao Nai's heart still tightened. She went up to check on "Zheng Li's" injuries; his chest was caved in, and a scorching power was eroding his body.

Xiao Nai thought that if this were really Zheng Li... she would definitely be heartbroken.

"Hm? Is it really Zheng Li?"

"I understand..."

Xiao Nai suddenly thought of something, a look of realization dawning on her.

And then...

She kicked "Zheng Li" straight into the mouth of the giant python.

I have to say, the illusion "Zheng Li's" expression was quite on point; his originally pained look was replaced by pure bewilderment.

Chapter 49, You are a good valley...

Xiao Nai did not know that everything she experienced in the illusion could also be seen by Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er in the Transparent Space.

Seeing the scene of Xiao Nai kicking the illusion "Zheng Li," both of them were speechless...

However, after a moment of silence, Zheng Li said: "Xiao Nai did well! That's right, that's not the real me! Beat him to death!"

Calm voice: "..."

Little did they know that the voice hadn't shown the double-layered illusion; by the time Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er saw it, it was already the scene in the forest.

Zheng Li had originally thought that once the illusion "Zheng Li" died, the illusion would break, but who would have thought...

"?!!"

"What the hell! Xiao Nai, have you lost your mind!"

They watched as Xiao Nai also actively charged into the giant python's mouth.

The giant python didn't stand on ceremony; it lowered its blood-red maw and swallowed both Xiao Nai and the illusion "Zheng Li" in one gulp.

The illusion screen then shattered.

Zheng Li: "..."

Was his guess wrong?

The first layer of the illusion.

In the fake Transparent Space, Xiao Nai opened her eyes.

A calm voice immediately rang out: "Facing danger, sharing life and death, second round, cleared."

Xiao Nai's expression was calm: "No, you are wrong. This was not sharing life and death. The 'he' in the illusion was not him; it was merely a means to pass."

"That is true, but it does not mean everyone can find the way to pass. It is not as if no one has chosen the illusion before; some people simply abandoned their lovers to flee," the calm voice said slowly.

Suddenly, Xiao Nai realized a problem: one bubble was missing.

"Where is Xiao Li?"

"He insulted The Valley and was punished by being sent into a deep adventure!" the calm voice explained nonchalantly.

"Impossible!" Xiao Nai said coolly. That's right, her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Xiao Li would not be that impulsive.

"Why is it impossible? You should know that when you entered the illusion, your true body was pulled into it, not just your consciousness. Everything you experienced in the illusion was seen by Zheng Li and the others in the form of images."

"Failure in the illusion damages the spirit and leads to a deep adventure. When you kicked the 'Zheng Li' of the illusion toward the giant python, he thought you had succeeded, believing the illusion was about identifying the fake lover and eliminating it. Who knew you would also charge into the python's mouth? To Zheng Li, you failed, which would damage your spirit and send you into a deep adventure. How do you think he would react?"

The calm voice faded, explaining it in a way that made one think she was angry.

After hearing this, Xiao Nai could no longer remain calm: "Idiot Xiao Li!"

"Send me there! I want to be with Xiao Li!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Nai shouted toward the top of the Transparent Space.

"Are you sure? You must know that your second round is already cleared, and the death rate of a deep adventure is..."

"I said send me to Xiao Li's side!" Xiao Nai waved her hand, directly cutting off the calm voice.

"Since you insist, then The Valley shall grant your wish."

With a flash of gold and silver light, Xiao Nai disappeared.
