This Angel Is Too Dark!

Early in the morning, Luo Can walked out of Qian Renxue's room with a hand braced against his waist.

He looked up at the newly risen sun and felt completely drained.

As expected of a Dark Angel—she had nearly left him unable to get up again. She had not let him leave the bed all night.

"Whew..."

He let out a long breath, hurried to the lakeside, and dove straight in.

Cool lake water enveloped his body as life energy swiftly flooded into every limb and bone. Moments later, Luo Can leaped from the lake, soaked through but fully recovered.

He returned to the house and changed into clean robes before going back to the shore. Taking out his fishing rod, he cast the line into the lake.

Half an hour later, just as he reeled in his second cast, soft footsteps sounded beside him.

Qian Renxue limped over to his side, sat down naturally, and edged closer to him.

That movement made Luo Can feel rather uncomfortable instead.

"You know..." Qian Renxue suddenly spoke, asking a question that nearly made Luo Can cough up blood on the spot.

"Could I get pregnant?"

"Pfft—!"

Luo Can began coughing violently.

"W-Why are you asking that?!" He turned to stare wide-eyed at Qian Renxue.

There was a hint of seriousness in Qian Renxue's eyes.

"When I used to be Xue Qinghe, I heard quite a bit of intelligence like this from my subordinates. They said that if a man and a woman... did that, there was a chance of having a child. We played all night last night, so I... I'm a little worried that I might get pregnant."

She paused, a trace of confusion appearing on her face.

"I... I haven't planned on becoming a mother yet. I don't know how to raise a child either."

Luo Can steadied himself and explained in as calm a tone as possible, "Normally, ordinary people might conceive even after one time. But we're Title Douluo. Our Soul Power cultivation has reached this level, and both our bodily functions and life essence far surpass those of ordinary people. The chances of conception are actually very low. It would be difficult to get pregnant after only one or two times."

"I see." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her face. "Then it seems we can indulge ourselves properly a few more times in the future."

Perhaps because she was the "dark side," she never hid her desires and saw nothing wrong with them. In her view, since she and Luo Can already had a physical relationship, they were husband and wife. What was wrong with indulging a little between husband and wife?

Luo Can: "..."

He did not respond. Silently turning away, he fixed his gaze firmly on the fishing line atop the lake, trying to suppress the inappropriate images in his mind.

His Fishing luck was somewhat better today.

On the seventh cast, he caught an eighth-grade defensive Soul Tool, Star Radiance. On the fourteenth cast, he caught a seventy-thousand-year Wind Spirit Bird Soul Spirit.

[Ding! This Fishing session has ended. Overall rating: Good. Reward: 3000 Points]

[Points: 59000]

The Fishing session ended, and Luo Can put away his rod before getting up to prepare breakfast in the kitchen.

Qian Renxue rose and followed him as well. From outside the house to the kitchen, her eyes never left him, making Luo Can feel somewhat unnerved.

At the dining table, the four of them sat down.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan picked up their chopsticks and were about to start eating when Qian Renxue, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly spoke. "Lingling, Yanyan."

The two girls looked up at her.

Qian Renxue asked, "Would you like to have another master's wife?"

"Pfft—!"

This time, it was Luo Can's turn to spit out his food. He stared blankly at Qian Renxue.

"?"

"Master's wife?"

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked at each other, their little faces simultaneously taking on expressions of gossiping curiosity.

"Did Master take a liking to some family's daughter and want to marry her?" Dugu Yan asked first, her green eyes shining.

"Master is getting a wife?!" Ye Lingling was just as excited, nearly jumping out of her chair.

She had heard her mother mutter privately many times that she worried Master was wholly devoted to cultivation and medicinal herbs, with no prospects for his lifelong affairs. She was afraid he would become an old bachelor like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Her mother had even secretly looked into quite a few suitable young ladies for him!

Qian Renxue gave a light cough, pointed at herself, and smiled ever more "kindly." "What do you think... am I suitable?"

"..."

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan turned their heads together to look at Luo Can, who was nearly petrified.

The two girls exchanged glances.

Although this "Sister Xue" usually coveted their food and occasionally teased them, she also guided their cultivation. She was stronger than even Grandpa, and she was very pretty too. Standing beside Master, she seemed like quite a good match for him.

"If it's Sister Xue..." Ye Lingling tilted her head and thought for a moment before nodding firmly. "Of course!"

"Mm-hmm!" Dugu Yan nodded vigorously as well, but then added, "But! If you become our master's wife, you can't steal our food anymore!"

Qian Renxue immediately beamed. "Alright~ From now on, your master's wife will look after you."

And so, while the person involved, Luo Can, was still completely dumbfounded, his "lifelong matter" was decided in just a few words.

However, he himself actually approved of it inwardly.

At night, the moonlight was as dark as ink.

Luo Can stood alone by the lake, looking at the night sky as a faint smile gradually rose on his lips.

After thirty-eight years since crossing over, he had finally started a family on Douluo Continent.

"Starting a family and building a career—I have both now."

He murmured softly, his eyes shining with anticipation for the future.

Just as he was imagining joining hands with Qian Renxue to dominate the continent, a pair of soft arms wrapped around him from behind.

"Lingling and Yanyan are already asleep." Qian Renxue's voice came from behind him. "Shall we continue our all-night conversation tonight?"

Luo Can's body stiffened.

"Again?!"

"Mm."

Without giving him a chance to resist, Qian Renxue had already grabbed him and pulled him toward the Wooden House.

That night, their in-depth discussion regarding the "origin of life" once again continued until the eastern sky turned pale.

When Luo Can walked out of the Wooden House again, leaning against the wall, he could not help but sigh.

"This angel... is too 'dark'!"

After saying that, he plunged headfirst into Fate-Defying Lake and gulped down several mouthfuls of lake water before replenishing the energy he had spent the night before.

Inside the Wooden House.

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed. Her snow-white skin was flushed with a faint rosy hue, her eyes closed as a black halo lingered around her body.

The halo slowly gathered toward her dantian, forming a tiny vortex of darkness.

At the center of the vortex was a golden droplet the size of a grain of rice.

"I never expected... such an unexpected gain."

The corners of Qian Renxue's lips curled upward as her thoughts stirred.

The dark vortex slowly rotated, stripping away, decomposing, and assimilating the golden droplet bit by bit. With every strand she refined, a surge of pure energy flowed into her meridians, nourishing the Darkness Origin.

Refining this small cluster of essence in full was equivalent to half a year of bitter cultivation!

"Whew..."

She slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened her eyes. Light flowed within them, making it clear that she had gained greatly.

Her Dark Angel martial soul was the complete opposite of her light side's Divine Purification. It possessed the power of Decomposition and Assimilation. Not only could this ability break down toxins and energy, it could even turn what she had gained from last night's exchange into her own power.

"However," she stretched lazily, revealing her perfect curves, "it seems I should restrain myself somewhat. If I frighten him too badly, there may not be another chance later."

She got up, casually draped herself in a loose black silk robe, and walked barefoot outside.

By the lake, Luo Can was Fishing.

Qian Renxue slowly approached, but her black robe was tied only loosely around her body. Large swathes of snow-white skin and her proud curves appeared and disappeared beneath the morning light, carrying an indescribable allure.

Seeing her arrive dressed like that, Luo Can secretly thought, This Dark Angel is definitely doing this on purpose!

He forced himself to keep his eyes on the float on the lake.

"Alright, don't make that face." Qian Renxue sat down beside him, her smile alluring. "I'll restrain myself a little more in the future."

"Put some proper clothes on first!!!" Luo Can snapped.

"Hehe~"

Qian Renxue chuckled and deliberately stood up, lightly spinning once before him. As her robes fluttered, her exquisite figure was faintly visible.

"Doesn't this look quite nice?"

"..."

Fortunately, Qian Renxue also knew she could not keep teasing him. She snapped her fingers crisply, light and shadow flowing across her body as that seductive outfit was instantly covered by a perfectly fitted suit of black armor.

From a bewitching beauty to a cold and valiant War God, it took only a single thought.

Luo Can finally sighed in relief, refocused himself, and resumed Fishing in earnest.

Qian Renxue simply sat quietly beside him, resting her chin in her hand and staring at him without blinking until dawn.
