People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Chapter 879 Farewell

In the far west of the Dou Qi Continent, deep within the Beast Domain, lies a wild and untamed forest rarely visited by humans.

Amidst the towering mountains, a solitary peak rises abruptly, piercing the sky. Its summit is shrouded in mist, with a gentle breeze blowing. The cliffs are steep and barren, except for the flat and open summit. Standing here and looking down, all the surrounding mountains are at your feet, and the sea of ​​clouds surges, vast and magnificent, making the solitary and desolate scene even more striking.

At this moment, three figures already stood atop the solitary peak. They stood tall and composed, their gazes fixed on the edge of the clouds, seemingly waiting for something. Their auras were contained, not disturbing the tranquility of the place.

After an unknown amount of time, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and the faint spatial fluctuations slowly spread out. The shimmering spatial patterns quietly emerged in the air, gentle yet carrying a force not to be underestimated. They did not disturb the tranquility of the peak, but instead added a touch of liveliness to this desolate and lonely peak.

The next second, two figures slowly stepped out from the center of the ripples, their clothes fluttering in the wind, and their bodies surrounded by a warm aura.

The leading man was Xiao Ling, handsome and composed, exuding an aura of domineering confidence yet gentle. The woman beside him was Xun'er, with gentle eyes and ethereal beauty, her black hair flowing in the wind. Standing side by side with Xiao Ling, their auras blended together, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The two landed lightly, standing steadily in front of the waiting crowd. Clouds and mist surged beneath their feet, and behind them stretched a vast forest and an endless sky. On the solitary peak, the world was vast, and only these few figures stood quietly, serene and perfectly integrated with the tranquility of the world.

"Xiao Ling, you've finally arrived!"

A slightly lazy yet reproachful voice broke the silence of the mountaintop. Little Marten swayed and quickly stepped forward, grinning as she feigned dissatisfaction and complained to Xiao Ling.

"Lord Mink, I've been waiting here for ages. I'm so glad you've arrived. If you had been any later, we would have all been meditating and cultivating on this lonely peak."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled gently, his tone tinged with apology, and replied softly, "I'm sorry, Little Mink, for keeping you waiting here for so long. I really had no choice. I'm going on a long journey this time, and I have many things to do to say goodbye to my wife, children, and elders. It's inevitable that I've been delayed for a while. I hope you won't blame me."

After saying that, he turned his gaze slightly and nodded slightly to Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, who were standing quietly beside Xiao Diao.

Little Mink waved his hand, shook his head, and pouted indifferently: "Forget it, forget it, I won't hold it against you. Everyone knows that you have a large family, and it must be very troublesome to deal with. I, Mink Lord, am magnanimous and won't blame you."

He casually brushed the matter aside, unwilling to dwell on the topic of waiting any longer. After all, he knew that Xiao Ling had many family ties and would definitely need to make arrangements and plans before leaving the Dou Qi Continent.

Looking at his arrogant yet insightful demeanor, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle. Changing the subject, she asked with a hint of teasing,

"Little Sable, didn't you say before that you wanted to leave the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Sable clan on this Dou Qi Continent and establish a sect and clan branch here? More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, how come there is no movement at all? Perhaps you have been too busy enjoying yourself on the Dou Qi Continent and have forgotten about this matter?"

Xiao Ling's words struck a nerve, and Xiao Diao's ears immediately turned red. She first showed a hint of embarrassment, then stiffened her neck in annoyance and anger, taking half a step forward to complain to Xiao Ling in a disgruntled tone, full of grievance and resentment.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you blame Lord Diao for this? It's all because you founded the Talisman Sect and then became a hands-off leader, leaving all the affairs, big and small, to us. You spend all your time cuddling with your beautiful wives and don't care about the sect's trivial matters at all. Being a hands-off leader like this makes you the most incompetent sect leader! Lord Diao is busy with these mundane affairs all day long, how can he have time to think about these things?"

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, who were standing quietly behind them, took in the whole scene. They looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle softly, their laughter full of understanding and teasing.

They had known Xiao Diao for many years and knew his personality best. He was usually carefree, arrogant, and lazy, but when it came to matters of that kind, he became unusually reserved and awkward. His forced attempts to find excuses were quite amusing.

After a period of playful banter, the relaxed atmosphere at the summit gradually dissipated. Xiao Ling lowered his brows and eyes, slowly straightening his expression. His gentle aura became more composed and serious, completely devoid of the leisurely demeanor he had displayed earlier.

His gaze fell on the little sable in front of him, his tone serious and resolute, "Little Sable, I will soon begin to break through the dimensional barrier of the Dou Qi Continent and leave this world. This time, I will need your local identity to guide me to the Tianxuan Continent. Are you all prepared?"

Upon hearing this, the slyness and playfulness on the little sable's face vanished instantly, and it also put away its playful expression. Its narrow eyes lit up slightly, unable to hide the excitement and anticipation in them.

He nodded heavily, his voice less playful than usual and more resolute: "Don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time. Everything is ready, just waiting for you to set off."

Although he had lived a carefree and happy life on the Dou Qi Continent for many years, made many close friends who would share life and death with him, and even broke through the shackles of cultivation, making tremendous progress, he had long regarded this place as his second hometown.

But the Tianxuan Continent was ultimately his root. There lived his blood relatives, his family and attachments that he could not bear to part with. Even after wandering in foreign lands for many years, this longing had never ceased.

Now that he is finally about to embark on his journey back to his hometown, the thought of seeing his homeland and relatives again inevitably stirs up a torrent of emotions in his heart. There is both the eagerness to return home and the anticipation for the unknown journey ahead. All sorts of emotions are intertwined in his heart, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, his expression resolute, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, there's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xun'er beside him, his gaze softening instantly.

"Xun'er, wait for me to return safely in the Dou Qi Continent. If there is any change or danger, use this jade pendant to send me a message. No matter where I am or how many planes I am separated from, I will rush back to your side as soon as possible."

He raised his hand and gently stroked Xun'er's delicate cheek, his fingertips filled with reluctance and tenderness. He then lowered his head and lightly touched the warm jade pendant hanging around his neck, whispering a few words of advice.

Xun'er looked up at him, a faint sorrow welling up in her clear eyes, yet she still forced herself to remain calm, gently nodded, and softly said:

"I understand, Brother Xiao Ling. Please be careful in everything you do while you're out there. Don't be reckless or take any risks. Always prioritize your own safety. I will take good care of Xiao Jie and the other sisters for you. I will always be here, waiting for your safe return." Her voice was gentle, but it carried a heavy weight of concern and reluctance. Her fingertips slightly tightened around his clothes, as if she wanted to hold onto him for a little longer.

With all his instructions settled, Xiao Ling looked at Xun'er's eyes, which held an unyielding reluctance, and a wave of longing washed over him. He leaned down slightly, his long, slender fingers gently supporting her chin, and leaned closer to give her a light kiss on her soft lips, a tender and lingering kiss that concealed both his reluctance and his promise.

After the kiss ended, he slowly straightened up, turned to look at Yao Chen and Xiao Yan beside him, his gaze deep and full of entrustment and trust. The two nodded solemnly, understanding each other's feelings without needing to say more.

Immediately, Xiao Ling did not linger any longer. His aura suddenly surged, his robes fluttered, and he rose into the air like a startled swan, standing tall in mid-air. The powerful aura surrounding him slowly spread out.

Seeing this, the little sable suddenly emitted a purple light, and the original aura of the Heavenly Demon Sable was faintly revealed. With a sway, it followed closely behind Xiao Ling and rose into the air, standing side by side with him in the void.

The moment the two took off, the world suddenly changed color!

The once clear and bright void suddenly rippled violently, and fine spatial patterns spread wildly like a spider web. The originally peaceful spatial energy instantly became violent and turbulent, and chaotic energy surged and churned, as if an invisible giant hand was tearing apart the barrier of this world.

Above the sky, centered on the solitary peak, thick, inky clouds gathered at a visible speed, covering the entire beast domain in an instant. The surrounding tens of thousands of miles suddenly darkened, the sunlight was completely blocked, and only the muffled sound of rolling clouds could be heard. Even the wind stopped, and a suffocating atmosphere swept across the entire desolate secret realm.

A boundless and unparalleled energy poured out from Xiao Ling's body, colliding and intertwining with the spatial barrier, causing the void to tremble continuously. A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth, and spatial turbulence appeared and disappeared between the gaps in the clouds. A terrifying pressure spread out, making the entire beast domain tremble.

In the dense forest, countless lurking ferocious beasts felt this earth-shattering pressure and were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling all over. Their originally fierce eyes were now filled with endless horror. They all looked up at the two figures standing in the sky, terrified, and dared not even roar.

In the Central Plains, thousands of miles away, the energy of heaven and earth also fluctuated violently. Countless powerful figures were shocked and opened their eyes abruptly. Their gazes pierced through the void for thousands of miles and were all directed towards the Beast Domain, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

They could clearly sense that from the direction of that desolate land, a terrifying fluctuation was erupting that was enough to shake the entire Dou Qi Continent. That kind of power had long surpassed the limits of this continent, making all the strong people look up to it.

Standing atop the clouds, Xiao Ling felt the tremor of the continent below. He glanced down at Xun'er, who stood atop the solitary peak, then turned his head, his gaze resolute as he looked into the depths of the void. He slowly raised his hands, preparing to tear apart the dimensional barrier and journey to the unknown Tianxuan Continent.

The spatial energy between heaven and earth surged to its peak, and violent air currents swirled wildly around Xiao Ling. His eyes were fixed, and his hands formed profound hand seals, pouring all the surging spatial power within him into the void.

In the very center of the chaotic, churning clouds, a dazzling silver light suddenly burst forth, and a silver spatial passage piercing through the heavens and earth slowly took shape. The inner walls of the passage were filled with subtle yet sharp energy fluctuations. The interior was dark and deep, with no end in sight. Dense spatial turbulence roared and swirled within, emanating a chilling and oppressive aura that made people tremble with fear. Even the surrounding air was torn apart and distorted.

Xiao Ling lowered his eyes to look at the little sable beside him, his voice steady and powerful, overpowering the roaring energy around him, as he solemnly instructed him.

"Next, you will enter the Dou Di space within my body. The spatial turbulence and fluctuations outside the plane are too violent, far beyond your current cultivation level to withstand. Staying inside is the safest option. You only need to release your own primordial aura inside, and I will follow this aura to precisely head towards the Tianxuan Continent."

Looking at the extremely dangerous spatial passage, Xiao Ling knew that what he said was true. Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded heavily and agreed: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved, following the pull of Xiao Ling's Dou Qi, transforming into a stream of light and entering the Dou Di space within Xiao Ling's body without hesitation.

Seeing that Little Marten had been settled, Xiao Ling had no more worries. He turned back for the last time, looking at the slender figure on the lonely peak who was eagerly waiting. A trace of longing flashed in his eyes. Then, he suppressed all his emotions, his body surging with silver light. His figure was like a shooting star breaking through the sky. He leaped up and rushed straight towards the dimensional passage that stretched across the sky. In an instant, he disappeared into the dark and deep passage, leaving behind only the gradually dissipating energy ripples and the shock that lingered in the entire world for a long time.

At the summit of the solitary peak, the gale grew even fiercer. Xun'er's plain white dress fluttered wildly in the wind, her black hair flying in disarray, yet she remained motionless on the edge of the cliff, her gaze fixed on the entrance to the spatial passage where Xiao Ling had disappeared, her eyes filled with unyielding longing and sorrow.

That familiar figure had long since disappeared into the dark dimensional passage, and not a trace of its presence could be sensed anymore. Only the fading energy ripples and the empty sky remained.

Unconsciously, her clear eyes could no longer hold back, and a layer of moisture quietly welled up in the corners of her eyes. A crystal tear slowly slid down her delicate cheek, carrying with it a heart full of reluctance and worry.

Just then, a broad, warm hand gently landed on her shoulder, its touch gentle yet steady, carrying a reassuring aura. Xun'er turned her head slightly and saw her father, Gu Yuanjing, standing beside her, his face calm, his eyes filled with loving tenderness and comfort.

Looking at his daughter's reddened eyes, Gu Yuan spoke softly, his voice deep and steady, gently comforting her.

"Xun'er, don't worry too much. Xiao Ling will be fine. Although he is a Dou Di like us old guys, his strength has far surpassed ours. He always acts prudently and never does anything he's not sure of. He will definitely return safely."

“Father, I understand, I’m fine.”

Xun'er nodded gently, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her tone calmed down considerably. How could she not understand Xiao Ling's style of handling things? He would never do anything without being sure of himself, but the sudden separation still made him reluctant to part.

After a moment of silence, she looked up again, the sorrow from before gone, replaced by a resolute light in her clear eyes.

"Father, next, I will go to the Heavenly Curtain for seclusion to break through to the Dou Di realm. After all, I don't want to fall too far behind him..." (End of Chapter)
