So Qian Daoliu gently slipped out of Bo Saixi's arms, rose to his feet, and lightly tapped her forehead before quietly moving away from her.
He kept going until he thought he was far enough from Bo Saixi.
Only then did Qian Daoliu release his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul once more.
Behind him, the radiant Six-Winged Angel formed a massive Angel Holy Sword, gathering its strength.
At that moment, Qian Daoliu silently raised his head and controlled the Six-Winged Angel to swing the Angel Holy Sword at him. "Goodbye, Bo Saixi!"
Clearly, Qian Daoliu intended to take his own life to protect Bo Saixi.
"No, Qian Daoliu, you bastard!"
At the critical moment, Bo Saixi transformed into a streak of light and flew to Qian Daoliu's side, spreading her arms and clutching him tightly.
Her back was left completely exposed to the sword's light.
"No, Bo Saixi!"
Qian Daoliu watched helplessly as the Angel Holy Sword fell toward Bo Saixi's back. He wanted to stop it, but was already powerless to do so.
Just as Qian Daoliu was certain Bo Saixi would die, and was even about to urge the Angel Holy Sword to take his own life again, something unexpected happened.
The Life Scepter within Bo Saixi released its power on its own.
A soft, pale-green light suddenly spread out, firmly blocking the fierce sword light and dissipating the Angel Holy Sword's power entirely.
Though the Angel Holy Sword carved a deep gash into Bo Saixi's back, the Life Scepter immediately poured forth vigorous vitality. Its gentle energy flowed through her body, smoothing away the wound in an instant.
She held Qian Daoliu tightly, unwilling to loosen her arms even a little.
"Qian Daoliu!"
"Bo Saixi!"
The abundant life energy became a soft cocoon of light, wrapping the two of them tightly.
Their eyes met, and each call was filled with boundless concern and heartache.
Memories of the years gone by surged through their hearts. Reluctance and deep affection mingled; a thousand words were condensed in their gaze. Bathed in warmth, neither of them wanted to let the other go again.
Qian Daoliu stared blankly at Bo Saixi before him, at the shimmering radiance of life flowing around her. Her sacred, gentle appearance left him momentarily dazed.
Bo Saixi was still shaken, the breath of her near-death experience lingering at the tip of her nose.
They gazed at each other tenderly, their lips meeting.
Qian Daoliu's throat moved as he was about to speak, but Bo Saixi gently pressed a finger to his lips. Her eyes and brows were tender, telling him there was no need to say a thing.
And so, for the first time, the two shared a truly intimate moment.
Qian Daoliu was no fool. He understood Bo Saixi's feelings at once.
So Qian Daoliu decided not to leave either of them with regrets.
Then the two kissed until heaven and earth turned upside down...(Ten thousand words omitted!)
As they clung to each other, two utterly different powers quietly began to mingle.
The gentle life energy surrounding Bo Saixi seeped slowly into Qian Daoliu through their touching skin. Its warm vitality flowed along his meridians, tempering the violent force of destruction within him.
At the same time, the destruction energy hidden within Qian Daoliu also flowed, thread by thread, into Bo Saixi's body, its fierce nature softened layer by layer by the power of life.
The two forces, one gentle and one fierce, permeated and checked each other. Gradually, they became two faintly visible, spherical cores, drawing each other in as they revolved, forming a wondrous cycle.
Neither of them noticed. Immersed in tenderness, they were quietly adapting to and mastering each other's primal powers. The two extremes gradually stopped repelling each other, achieving a rare balance of coexistence.
In the end, everything fell into place.
In the Douluo God Realm, a green figure nestled in the arms of a purple figure, watching the two divine trial-takers, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, finally cross the threshold after eleven months and become one in perfect harmony.
The purple figure couldn't help complaining, "That Qian Daoliu really is a block of wood!"
"We made it so obvious! And he still wasted eleven whole months!"
At this, the green figure couldn't help chuckling. "I think Qian Daoliu is a lot like you were back then!"
"How am I like him?" the purple figure protested.
With a smile in her eyes, the green figure instinctively pinched the purple figure's lower back. "Adorably stupid!"
Inside the mysterious space!
After a full day and night, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi finally came to their senses after yesterday's frenzy.
Bo Saixi was flushed, nestled in Qian Daoliu's arms.
She called to him solemnly. "Qian Daoliu, I'm yours now! You can't abandon me again!"
As she spoke, Bo Saixi viciously pinched Qian Daoliu's lower back with her finger.
"Hmph!"
Qian Daoliu only grunted.
But he was deeply moved by Bo Saixi's love, a love that would never forsake him, even in life or death.
"Saixi, don't worry!"
"For you, I won't casually try to kill myself again!"
"Otherwise, may I die a horrible death..."
Looking at Bo Saixi, who was willing to risk her life for him, Qian Daoliu spoke gravely as he raised his right hand to swear an oath.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Bo Saixi pulled out her jade-like hand and hurriedly clasped Qian Daoliu's right hand, stopping him from making such a dire oath.
Bo Saixi moved, pressing herself against Qian Daoliu once more.
Looking at Bo Saixi's flushed face, Qian Daoliu swallowed instinctively. "Saixi, you're so beautiful!"
"Qian Daoliu, be gentle!"
Another day and night of frenzy followed.
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi woke from their sleep, their hearts in perfect accord.
So that they could have more time for their passion in the days ahead, Qian Daoliu decided to work even harder at mastering the Destruction Will starting that day.
So Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi discussed it.
"Saixi!"
"We've already wasted two days!"
"Starting today, let's work hard for a brighter future!"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu was about to release his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul again.
As for the Destruction Scepter, Qian Daoliu was ready to summon it as well.
All he needed was a word from Bo Saixi.
Hearing this, Bo Saixi gave Qian Daoliu an emphatic answer. "All right!"
As she spoke, Bo Saixi promptly released her Sea God Martial Soul and Life Scepter.
Pale-green light burst from the Life Scepter. After their bodies and hearts had merged, the life energy within Bo Saixi was several times more abundant than before, flowing with ever-greater fullness and depth.
She raised her hand to guide the power. Light gathered and faded at her fingertips at will; her understanding and control of the life force had broken through once again, and every movement perfectly summoned vitality.
"Eh? Qian Daoliu, there are two new energy spheres inside me, much like Soul Cores!"
"These two energies have given me even greater control over life energy!"
"I feel that even without releasing my Life Scepter Martial Soul, I could use these two energy spheres alone to suppress the Destruction Will inside you!"
"I suspect this has something to do with our frenzy over the past two days!" As she said this, Bo Saixi's face turned red again.
But Bo Saixi quickly forced down her embarrassment and continued, "Qian Daoliu, check whether you have the same energy spheres inside you!"
The moment Bo Saixi released her Second Martial Soul, the Life Scepter, she sensed that two entirely different energy spheres, much like Soul Cores, had appeared inside her body. They were filled with the auras of destruction and life.
Qian Daoliu was overjoyed. "Really? Saixi, that's wonderful! I'll check right away!"
He could clearly sense the vigorous vitality of Bo Saixi's life energy.
It was worlds apart from how she had been two days ago, when she had been evenly matched with him, or even slightly weaker.
So Qian Daoliu called out to Bo Saixi, "Saixi, be careful. I'm going to release my Second Martial Soul, the Destruction Scepter!"
At the same time, Qian Daoliu also sensed two faint energy spheres within his body. They, too, were filled with the auras of destruction and life.
