Chapter 3, The Fallen Star
The seawater washes against the shore, producing a vast and distant sound of "whoosh." A faint sea breeze, tinged with a salty and fishy scent, caresses the coastline
The man seemed to have understood her meaning, lowered his head to look at himself, and was momentarily taken aback. "I'm sorry, I..." His voice was somewhat stiff, yet very pleasant to hear. Le Qingling was astonished to discover that the two were nearly two hundred meters apart, yet the man's voice seemed to resonate directly in her ear.
At this moment, there are already some shells and a few larger crabs in the bamboo basket, and no matter how they struggle, they are always blocked by a faint layer of golden light on the surface of the basket
Her chest rose and fell irregularly as Le Qingling patted her chest to steady her panicked emotions, slowing her pace and gradually coming to a stop
Oh, good. When that person's voice sounded again, the sense of stiffness seemed to diminish significantly
Le Qingling then turned around, and she discovered that the person was already in the place where she had stood earlier, with her own coat wrapped around him in front, covering the important parts, yet most of his body remained bare, revealing a perfect physique
A straight nose bridge, lips of moderate thickness, a pair of particularly beautiful large eyes that are clearly black, yet seem to have a faint golden halo within them. Long blue hair cascades down her back, smooth and shiny, appearing to be in her twenties, not much older than myself. Could this appearance belong to a fallen star?
As the white light illuminated the person, she felt quite satisfied with herself. This holy light of hers has healing and purifying effects on normal individuals. For those malevolent entities, purification transforms into an attack, yielding excellent results
Only now do I dare to look back. I see that person still sitting in the water, seemingly shaking their head gently, yet showing no intention of pursuing.
That is ... ...
Le Qingling shivered and immediately stopped in her tracks. How could there be a corpse by the seaside
Every day at low tide, she comes to the shore to gather marine life, catching some crabs and shells. Since the beginning of interstellar migration, the ecology of Douluo Star has continuously improved, with various fundamental organisms thriving and significantly reduced environmental pollution
For some reason, Le Qingling suddenly felt an impulse to turn around and take another look. Just now, it seemed that she had seen clearly defined eight-pack abs! The physique is truly impressive
However, under the illumination of the holy light, the two legs of that person exposed to the outside appeared very glossy, straight and elongated. It was not until half a foot above the knees that they were submerged in the seawater
Will you apologize again
What is that
The man spoke again, his voice tinged with a hint of confusion, "Hello, can you tell me where this is? Also, who am I?"
What is there to fear? I am a Soul Sovereign. Even if he is a vengeful spirit or a zombie, I can purify him. Behold my power, Holy Light, shine!
Le Qingling is nineteen years old this year, yet it is the age of budding romance. Recently, during the summer vacation at home, she has taken up the habit of beachcombing.
Le Qingling had always possessed a strong curiosity for new things, and she immediately ran over. However, as she got closer, she slowed her pace. To her astonishment, she discovered that it appeared to be a person. Half of this person's body was submerged in the seawater, while the other half lay on the beach. Yet, he seemed very heavy; no matter how the waves washed over him, he remained as if he were firmly embedded in the sand, completely motionless
She quickly turned her head, pointing her right hand in the direction of the man, "You shameless scoundrel!"
As the Holy Light receded, just when Le Qingling was about to use her soul-guided communicator to contact the relevant departments, an unexpected scene unfolded before her.
Hmm? Just as her body was falling from the air to the ground, she suddenly saw something in the distance by the coast, as if something had blinked.
She turned around again, but did not dare to approach, only watching that person from a distance
corpse
Due to the considerable distance, it is difficult to clearly see the person's features, but it is vaguely noticeable that the individual has an excellent physique. Although seated in the sea, the person possesses broad shoulders, a strong back, and a slender waist. Long, deep blue hair cascades over the shoulders, obscuring most of the face.
Their family is particularly unwilling to emigrate, as their ancestors have left a message: born as Douluo people, die as Douluo ghosts. No matter how Douluo Continent changes, the Le family will never leave.
Le Qingling's curiosity began to emerge again, slightly overcoming her fear. Just as she was about to turn back, the person suddenly stood up
With a sudden splash of water, the man abruptly sat up from the sea. Except for his buttocks still submerged in the water, the rest of his body was completely above the surface.
I am ready now. " The voice came again
The yellow soul ring, positioned in the first place on her body, shone brightly, and a beam of white light shot from her hand, heading straight for the "corpse".
"You, put it on." She threw the coat that she had wrapped around her waist onto the ground and turned to run a little further away
She steadied her mind, took a deep breath, and a faint white halo emerged from within her. Immediately afterward, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—slowly rose beneath her feet
Ah—"Le Qingling let out another sharp scream
This time, Le Qingling finally saw his face. Her eyes instantly widened in disbelief; he was so handsome, he was truly so handsome!
Heaving a sigh, Le Qingling thought to himself that this was indeed just a corpse. All he needed to do was call the police and have the relevant authorities come to collect the body
The white light fell upon that person, and Le Qingling, aided by the radiance, could see clearly that the exposed part was two legs, while the upper body was still submerged in the seawater. This further solidified her thought that it was a corpse. Drowned indeed!
After all, she possesses the cultivation level of a Three Ring Soul Master, and with this sudden burst of speed, she is incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, she is already over one hundred meters away
I am the Soul Sovereign, I am the Soul Sovereign, what am I afraid of! What is there to fear! Not afraid, not afraid! Just not afraid!
Ah, when will I be able to fly! Why did my martial soul awaken, yet my innate abilities did not manifest? It is truly frustrating! I want to fly, I want to fly, I want to fly!
The marine life in the South Sea of Douluo Continent is the most abundant, and she particularly enjoys eating shellfish, paired with a bit of white grape juice, which is simply delicious. She especially loves the lobster baked in white wine made by her father; in her view, it is the most delicious food in the world
Le Qingling ran a few steps, then suddenly leaped up, reaching a height of about 3 or 4 meters. With arms outstretched, swinging the bamboo basket, it seemed as if she was gliding through the air.
Ah—" Le Qingling screamed, the courage she had earlier was long forgotten. She suddenly leaped back and turned to run.
Le Qingling walked happily on the beach, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, with her bare, pristine white feet.
