Leng Lingshuang's Change of Attitude

"Xuan Jiang! Are you really Brother Xuan Jiang?! But... how is that possible?

Back then, I racked my brains and traveled through the myriad heavens, yet I never found even a trace of your divine soul. You could not possibly have reincarnated, so how could you appear in this lifetime?

And how could you recognize me?"

Leng Lingshuang stretched out her delicate hand and casually waved it. A red barrier abruptly formed, isolating her and Jiang Xuan from the outside world.

Within the barrier, Leng Lingshuang stared fixedly at Jiang Xuan, her face still full of disbelief.

"Ling Shuang, the power of time is beyond imagination. Life is the greatest miracle in the world. You buried me with your own hands, and afterward I entered reincarnation. Perhaps my obsession was too deep, and the memories of my previous life did not fade. They only awakened recently."

"As for how I recognized you."

Jiang Xuan looked at Leng Lingshuang and smiled faintly.

"Wasn't the silver bell on your ankle the best clue?"

Boom!

Leng Lingshuang's heart was instantly thrown into a raging storm at his words.

That was right.

The silver bell on her ankle had also been a gift from Xuan Jiang in her previous life. He had said it was a family heirloom left behind by his mother before her death, meant for the future daughter-in-law she had never met.

Back then, she had been happy about it for a very long time.

"You really are Xuan Jiang!"

By now, Leng Lingshuang believed Jiang Xuan's identity. Her delicate body trembled violently in an instant, her eyes reddening at once as crystalline tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, making her look unbearably pitiful.

"It's me. I've returned."

Jiang Xuan nodded and stepped forward with a smile.

"Wuwu..."

At that moment, Leng Lingshuang could no longer hold it in. Her tears poured forth like water from a burst dam.

She stepped forward as well, spread her arms, and hugged Jiang Xuan tightly, burying her head deep in his chest.

"Little crybaby, you still love crying so much."

Jiang Xuan smiled and gently reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Leng Lingshuang's eyes.

"Brother Xuan Jiang... do you know how much effort I spent trying to find you again...

That day, I buried your body with my own hands. From then on, an indelible obsession remained in my heart. I climbed to the summit, not for anything else, but only to find a way to see you again..."

Leng Lingshuang held Jiang Xuan tightly, showing no intention of letting go. She wept bitterly, tears and sobs flowing together as the regrets of the past crossed through ages upon ages and faded away with her tears.

"Ling Shuang, I won't leave you in this life. You have to protect me well this time, all right?"

Jiang Xuan chuckled, gently stroking Leng Lingshuang's waterfall-like long hair as he spoke softly.

"Of course! I crossed through ages upon ages just to find you. Now that you've returned, I will definitely protect you!"

Leng Lingshuang did not hesitate in the slightest. She immediately nodded heavily and spoke with unwavering resolve.

It's settled. With an empress protecting me in this life, I can advance and reach the pinnacle myself, or retreat and hide behind the scenes living off a woman!

Jiang Xuan held Leng Lingshuang's body tightly, feeling the softness and warmth of her delicate figure. A brilliant smile spread across his face as he thought to himself.

Outside.

Everyone looked at the crimson barrier shrouding Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang, incomparably curious about the scene within.

Yet, wary of the two's terrifying strength, none of them dared approach the barrier carelessly, lest they meet with danger.

"That woman was brimming with killing intent earlier. She clearly wanted to kill Jiang Xuan. He isn't already dead, is he?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Who knows? But it would be good if he were dead. That way, we'd have one less powerful competitor."

Boom!

At that moment, the barrier suddenly shattered. A streak of red spiritual power shot out from within and instantly erased the cultivator who had just wished for Jiang Xuan's death.

"Hiss..."

This sudden turn of events startled all the cultivators present.

There were two things that shocked them.

First, the attacker's terrifying strength—she had instantly killed a Dragon Transformation Realm expert.

Second, the attacker was actually that incomparably beautiful woman in red from earlier!

This left everyone utterly bewildered.

Hadn't the woman wanted to kill Jiang Xuan?

Why was she instead attacking on Jiang Xuan's behalf now?

What exactly had caused such a dramatic change in attitude?

"You dared kill my younger brother! I'll make you pay with your life!!"

As the man from before was wiped out by Leng Lingshuang, another figure abruptly turned into a streak of light. Holding a longsword, he charged at Leng Lingshuang, his terrifying killing intent nearly solidifying into substance.

Boom!

"It's Jiang Lin, the sword-dao prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect! They say he comprehended sword intent at the age of ten, and his talent in the sword path is unparalleled..."

Seeing him make his move, several cultivators immediately cried out in alarm.

And just then.

Boom!

A Chaotic Divine Light blasted over from the woman's side, instantly annihilating the cultivator who had intended to kill Leng Lingshuang!

"Hiss..."

The people present could not help but suck in another breath of cold air, inwardly complaining:

Are these two using cheats or what?

How are they both so monstrous?
