Chapter 482: Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo
Chapter 482: Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo
This day.
Someone reported seeing the figure of Zhou Botong near Valley of Heartless.
Ding Ling took Little Dragon Girl to Valley of Heartless.
The Valley is north of Xiangyang.
Ding Ling traveled north all the way, without riding a horse.
At his current level, True Qi is endless, his stamina so strong that maintaining peak combat power for several consecutive days and nights is not a problem.
Therefore, he chose to use Lightweight Skill for faster travel.
Ding Ling imparted the Nine Yin Scripture, Spiral Nine Shadows, Golden Swan Skill, and other Techniques to Little Dragon Girl.
Now Little Dragon Girl has successfully switched from practicing the Yu Girl’s True Scripture to the Nine Yin Scripture.
The Yu Girl’s True Scripture requires two people to practice together, and although it is formidable, for Ding Ling, it is somewhat useless, so he preferred that Little Dragon Girl switch to the stronger Nine Yin Scripture.
Ding Ling had switched to multiple Divine Skills before, and although his switches were passive, his experience in this area is rich, making guiding Little Dragon Girl through the switch not an issue.
After successfully switching, Little Dragon Girl’s current Inner Strength is now remarkable. With the Breathing Technique, few in this world can threaten her anymore.
Whiz whiz!
Ding Ling pulled Little Dragon Girl as they flew through the void.
One is a tall, imposing, majestic Martial Arts Grandmaster;
The other, a serene and graceful maiden akin to an Immortal.
Stepping through the air, they truly seemed like a pair of divine lovers.
Along the way, many players witnessed their movements, many exclaiming Ding Ling’s name aloud.
It’s quite challenging for players to feel awe towards Ding Ling, this ’Prince,’ as many are unruly. Little Dragon Girl saw this, and though she slightly frowned, she wasn’t bothered by the alien visitors’ typical behavior and just kept her eyes on Ding Ling.
Whiz!
They flew past, their feet not touching the ground, soaring through dozens of miles in an instant, vanishing from the players’ sight, leaving them astounded and tongue-tied:
"Oh my goodness! Has Ding Ling become immortal?! He’s flying now! It’s unbelievable!"
"Heard he could fly in the Three Kingdoms World, but not as gracefully as this. Seems he has grown stronger."
"This guy is truly a freak! I wonder if he’s as strong in reality as in the Game World. If he’s equally strong... wow, can’t even imagine!"
...
Players discussed fervently, mixed with admiration, jealousy, and hatred towards Ding Ling. Of course, mostly they were frenzied. Tourist-loving players who saw this scene were envious and thrilled to the extreme.
Immediately, they joined various sects to learn Inner Power.
They won’t stop until they’ve achieved something noteworthy.
...
...
Upon reaching near Valley of Heartless.
Naturally, someone came to guide Ding Ling into the mysterious, dreamlike Valley of Heartless.
"It’s truly the Prince."
Two beautiful, graceful maidens appeared.
One of them had delicate eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with a face like a peach blossom, dressed in white, she was truly a beauty.
The woman beside her was also quite beautiful, but standing next to her, she was overshadowed.
Upon seeing Ding Ling, her bright almond eyes lit up, she hurriedly walked two steps to stand before Ding Ling, walking with a limp but still energetically, clearly bursting with joy:
"Greetings, Prince!"
The other quickly moved forward to pay her respects.
Ding Ling was puzzled:
"Who are you?"
He did not expect Zhou Botong to be discovered by such two charming ladies.
"I am Lu Wushuang."
The stunning beauty introduced herself with a gleaming smile, then pointed to the woman beside her:
"This is my senior disciple sister Hong Lingbo. We admired you, Prince, and joined the Embroidered Guard of the Great Ming Dynasty, taking on a small official position. Upon hearing that you, Prince, were searching for Zhou Botong, we volunteered to take on this mission, and indeed, we found traces of him nearby."
"..."
Ding Ling’s eye twitched.
He truly did not expect Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo to be in such a situation!
It seemed that Lu Wushuang’s destiny had wholly changed. With Hong Lingbo, a helpful and kind-hearted girl, at her side, her path was evidently smoother.
As for the Ming’s Embroidered Guard?
There were players serving as officials in the court, and Huang Rong endorsed the idea of the Embroidered Guard since she was the queen and frequently advised Guo Jing, having significant influence in court, so female officials in the guard were not lacking.
Though Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo’s martial arts were lacking compared to Innate Experts, they were much stronger compared to ordinary soldiers.
The reason Lu Wushuang was so warm and proactive towards Ding Ling was because he avenged her blood debt.
Li Mochou was killed by Ding Ling.
This was known by Huang Rong and others; Cheng Ying was Huang the Herbalist’s disciple and had been working with him in the court recently, so she naturally knew about it.
Cheng Ying knew.
Lu Wushuang naturally couldn’t be ignorant of it.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang have always been grateful to Ding Ling, wanting to find an opportunity to properly thank him. But unfortunately, after Ding Ling started being with Little Dragon Girl, the super recluse, he too became a recluse, staying at the Prince’s Mansion all day without coming out. Even if he did come out, it was a fleeting appearance, disappearing without a trace.
How could they have a chance to meet with Ding Ling?
Furthermore, they did not want to intrude upon the beautiful life of this divine couple.
They could only wait for a good chance to show their gratitude in the future.
Later, Ding Ling mentioned wanting the Secret Manual and expressed a desire to find Zhou Botong.
They have silently been assisting Ding Ling all along.
But Ding Ling was unaware of this.
At this moment, seeing Lu Wushuang’s somewhat delighted appearance, he felt puzzled — was he really that popular?
As he traversed the Jianghu, most people he met were in awe, rarely showing such joy.
His ferocious reputation precedes him.
He is famously known as the Ten Thousand Butcher!
Though people admire him greatly, when they actually see him in person, many are scared stiff.
However, Ding Ling follows the principle of "if others don’t provoke me, I don’t provoke them."
Seeing people behaving like this, he had no interest in interacting and wouldn’t engage in conflicts; he wasn’t that idle.
So he continued moving northward.
Ding Ling moved very quickly, even when he stopped for meals. He and Little Dragon Girl sat quietly together, not interacting with others.
Little Dragon Girl greatly enjoyed this two-person world, showing more smiles recently, with happiness evident in her eyes for anyone to see.
"Take me to see Zhou Botong."
Ding Ling communicated with Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo.
He found Hong Lingbo had a pure and good nature, truly a good woman. Thinking of her description in the original work, Ding Ling considered, ’Perhaps the current situation is a blessing for her.’
Lu Wushuang, lively and energetic, exhibited her cleverness in many aspects.
Though she limped, in front of Ding Ling, whom she highly esteemed, she appeared cheerful, open, active, and happy.
Ding Ling noticed but did not reveal her facade of resilience.
He simply followed her.
Entered the Valley of Heartless.
Looking around.
Indeed, it was a scene like a painting of Immortal dreams.
Patches of flower gardens shrouded in light mist extended to the end; occasionally, young women, in the prime of their youth, could be seen walking through the gardens, picking flowers, laughing as they departed. Such a scene, resembling the palatial chambers of Celestial Flower Fairy.
"Is that the Love Flower?"
Ding Ling glanced at it without lingering; the Love Flower was so poisonous, it should not exist in the mortal world!
Yet Ding Ling had no intention of destroying them at the moment.
As long as the antidote "Heartless Pill" can be made, the Love Flower would not be toxic. Moreover, Ding Ling thought of trying, once he ascends to the Upper Realm, to use the Love Flower’s poison against some cultivators in this Divine Eagle World — would it be effective?
It was hard to say.
But Ding Ling guessed it probably wouldn’t work against Immortals; he didn’t plan that far ahead, just hoping it could affect cultivators would be good enough.
"Prince, follow me. That is the Love Flower; absolutely must not touch..."
Lu Wushuang hurriedly walked, occasionally explaining to Ding Ling.
She was evidently very familiar with the Valley of Heartless.
Clearly, she hadn’t spared any effort to seek Zhou Botong.
A moment later.
She led Ding Ling to a beautiful valley.
Here were many bees.
Little Dragon Girl was surprised:
"These are my Jade Bees."
She had raised some Jade Bees at Xiangyang Guo Family, just not on this scale.
Ding Ling was also puzzled.
How did Zhou Botong learn to raise these Jade Bees without encountering Little Dragon Girl?
But thinking of so many players.
Some players were adept at beekeeping, or people from other worlds were skilled at it. Not a surprise.
Those aware of Zhou Botong’s prowess would find ways to curry favor with him, seemingly understandable.
