Chapter 192 The Eve of Parting
Xiao Ling's footsteps sounded softly outside the pavilion, and his figure walked into the courtyard slowly.
His arrival seemed to bring a breath of fresh air, instantly easing the awkward atmosphere in the pavilion.
"Haha, it looks like you're having a great chat." Xiao Ling's voice was gentle and magnetic. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, finally stopping on Han Yue's face, and he gave her a warm smile.
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian all smiled a little embarrassedly. They knew that Xiao Ling had heard the previous conversation, but Xiao Ling did not mention that aspect. Instead, he changed the subject.
"Actually, I went to the Demon Flame Valley for an ancient puppet-making method." Xiao Ling said slowly, "This kind of puppet-making secret method has long been lost."
He paused for a moment and continued, "I have spent all this time refining this puppet. Now it is ready, let me show it to you."
Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and a dark golden puppet appeared in front of everyone. On the puppet's body, silver and golden lines intertwined, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
"This is the Earth Demon Puppet, its strength is at the peak of Dou Zong, close to Dou Zun." Xiao Ling introduced to Han Yue, "This is a gift I prepared for you. With this Earth Demon Puppet as a trump card, it should be able to protect your safety. In this way, I can rest assured."
Xiao Ling's words made Han Yue feel warm in her heart. She knew very well the deep affection and concern behind this gift.
She stared at Xiao Ling, her eyes revealing gratitude and reluctance.
"Xiao Ling, this gift is too precious," Han Yue said softly, "You are always on the road, facing more unknowns and dangers than me. When I return to the family, I will be protected by the strong men in the family, and you may need this earth demon puppet as your helper. "
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his eyes firm and warm, he shook his head gently, "Han Yue, don't worry about me. I have my own ways to deal with various situations. This Earth Demon Puppet is carefully prepared for you. I can only feel at ease when it is with you."
A touch of tears flashed in Han Yue's eyes. She walked gently to Xiao Ling and they hugged each other tightly.
This hug conveys deep emotion and tacit understanding. It is an expectation for the future and the best proof of trust in each other.
Thank you, Xiao Ling. "Han Yue whispered in Xiao Ling's ear, "I received your kindness. "
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian looked at the heartwarming interaction between Xiao Ling and Han Yue in front of them, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.
Their eyes revealed a yearning for this deep emotion, and they also developed a strong interest in the mysterious earth demon puppet.
Zi Yan couldn't suppress her inner curiosity. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly, then walked forward and reached out to gently touch the surface of the Earth Demon Puppet.
Although her movements were light, her eyes were full of desire to explore.
As soon as her fingers touched the puppet, she felt a texture as hard as iron. She couldn't help but punch it a few times. She said in surprise: "Wow, this puppet is so hard, it feels like a piece of iron."
Qinglin and Xiao Yixian came back to their senses from Zi Yan's actions. They also gathered around, their eyes revealing surprise and curiosity about the Earth Demon Puppet.
They carefully observed every detail of the Earth Demon Puppet, trying to find some secrets of refining from this puppet.
Perhaps in their hearts, they were also secretly hoping that one day Xiao Ling would be able to refine such a powerful protective magic weapon for each of them.
Xiao Ling patted Han Yue's back gently, then released the hug. His gaze fell on the Earth Demon Puppet again, and he spoke to Han Yue with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
"Although this Earth Demon Puppet is powerful, it is best not to use it to fight unless it is a critical moment. Its power is too amazing and it is easy to arouse the covetousness and jealousy of others."
Han Yue nodded. She understood Xiao Ling's concerns. A puppet with the strength of a peak Dou Zong was enough to attract the attention and greed of any force.
If the younger generation of a force can have such a puppet as a protective object, it will provide strong protection as they grow up.
She said softly, "I understand, Xiao Ling. I will use it carefully and will not easily expose its existence. After all, it is not just a weapon to me, but also a token of your love for me."
After hearing this, Xiao Ling showed a relieved smile on his face. He knew that Han Yue was a smart and rational person, and she could understand the interests involved, which made him feel more at ease.
Under Xiao Ling's guidance, Han Yue lightly bit the tip of her tongue, and a drop of blood containing some soul marks slowly floated out, and finally landed accurately on the puppet's forehead, slowly invading, and finally turning into a thumb-sized dark red blood spot.
As this drop of blood entered the puppet's brain without any hindrance, and left an indelible imprint there, a little bit of life slowly appeared in the puppet's empty black eyes.
He twisted his still somewhat stiff neck, looked down at Han Yue, then put his foot on the ground, knelt on one knee, and slowly lowered his head towards Han Yue.
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian witnessed this scene, their eyes filled with envy and curiosity.
Xiao Ling stared at Han Yue with a sharp gaze, and asked with concern: "Have you successfully imprinted the soul mark on the Earth Demon Puppet?"
Han Yue nodded, with confidence flashing in her eyes: "Yes, now I can feel a connection with the Earth Demon Puppet and can control it at any time."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and encouraged: "In this case, let the Earth Demon Puppet show its strength. Han Yue closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and conveyed instructions to the Earth Demon Puppet through the connection of the soul.
Her voice rang out in her heart, clear and firm: "Earth Demon Puppet, show your strength."
The Earth Demon Puppet seemed to understand Han Yue's orders. It slowly stood up and walked towards the open space with steady steps.
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixiang watched with bated breath, waiting to see what kind of strength the Earth Demon Puppet would possess.
The Earth Demon Puppet stood in the void, its eyes penetrating the space, as if looking for a suitable target.
Then, it quickly raised its fist and punched the air hard.
This punch seemed simple, but it contained unimaginable power. As the fist was swung, the surrounding air began to vibrate, forming ripples.
Then, the space seemed unable to withstand this force and shattered directly, and a deep space crack appeared in front of everyone.
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixiang looked at this scene in shock. They didn't expect that the Earth Demon Puppet was so powerful that it could tear the space apart with just one punch.
Even if he cannot use fighting skills, with such a strong physique, without joy or sorrow, and without feeling pain or harm, he will undoubtedly become a tough opponent in battle.
As the Demon Puppet was displayed, the deep space crack slowly closed, as if it had never existed. The courtyard returned to peace, but the shock in everyone's hearts could not be calmed for a long time.
As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled into the courtyard like water, gently covering the earth with a layer of silver veil.
Xiao Ling looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Let's stop here today. I haven't rested for many days, and I feel a little sleepy. Let's go back and rest."
Everyone responded and stood up, preparing to go back to their rooms.
Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian said good night to Xiao Ling and Han Yue, then went their separate ways.
As for Xiao Ling and Han Yue, tonight is Han Yue's last night staying in Canaan College. Xiao Yixian and the others already know clearly what will happen between the two of them later.
Watching Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian walking away, Han Yue and Xiao Ling exchanged glances in the moonlight. Without words, they found resonance in each other's pupils.
They smiled faintly at the same time, like the brightest stars in the night sky, warm and bright, illuminating each other's hearts.
Xiao Ling took Han Yue into his bedroom and gently closed the door.
The moonlight shines through the window onto the ground, casting a hazy shadow.
Xiao Ling gently embraced Han Yue in his arms, and Han Yue's face flushed with shyness. Their breathing gradually became rapid, and their heartbeats were clearly audible in the silent room.
Xiao Ling's fingers gently brushed Han Yue's hair. Han Yue slightly raised her head, her eyes full of affection and desire.
Their lips slowly approached and finally touched lightly, like an electric shock, instantly igniting the fire deep in each other's hearts.
The kiss was soft and sweet at first, then became passionate and deep. They hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge into each other's bodies.
As the night deepened, Xiao Ling and Han Yue's heartbeats gradually synchronized in the quiet room, and their emotions flowed unspokenly between them.
Xiao Ling's fingers lightly touched Han Yue's back, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up tiny ripples.
Han Yue's moans were faint and moving whispers in the night breeze. Under Xiao Ling's gentle touch, her body was like petals trembling in the wind.
The breath of the two people intertwined in the air, like two clear springs converging in the quiet night, and the whole room was filled with this warm and subtle emotion.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only the beating of two hearts and endless affection in each other's eyes.
Time passed in silence. After an unknown amount of time, they slowly separated. Their eyes were deeply locked with each other, and there was an intense and unbreakable love in their eyes.
Han Yue's voice was gentle but firm: "I want to leave an unforgettable memory here."
Xiao Ling nodded silently, and then his movements became decisive and powerful, as if he wanted to engrave this emotion, this memory, deeply in each other's hearts.
I am destined to have no sleep tonight...
