Chapter 750: The True Divine Trial Arrives

"Bing'er..."

Qin Jian stroked her long ice-blue hair, his gaze gentle.

This girl, who was like ice and snow, had originally been so timid and fearful, so weak and easily bullied.

But after breaking up with him, she had become strong, turning into a beautiful woman with a heart of ice and snow.

He loved her like this deeply, loved their past together deeply.

And so, the second Soul Ring slowly lit up, the same golden flame.

Purple petals extended, making her, like Ning Rongrong, a bright pearl.

"Zhuqing..."

Regarding this little kitten, besides coveting her perfect figure, Qin Jian also cherished her heart, which appeared cold and aloof but was actually fragile.

When they first met, she was so lost and hesitant, completely unaware of what she was living for or how she should live.

Later, she slowly entrusted her life to him, treating him as her inner pillar of support.

From then on, she never regretted it.

"Hum!"

The third Soul Ring lit up.

Qin Jian, however, stopped at this moment.

He suddenly looked up at the sky.

At this time, the divine sword that was being desperately resisted had already descended quite a bit.

"Can't wait for all nine Soul Rings to gather!"

Qin Jian suddenly spread his hands: "Come, Fusion!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Three golden rays of light suddenly shot out from the Soul Rings at the feet of Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and Zhu Zhuqing, connecting with each other to form a standard triangular shape.

The next moment, all the light converged onto Qin Jian.

Subsequently, he pointed a sword-finger toward the sky.

"Clang! ——"

The divine sword suddenly rang out frantically, its purple flames expanding three times over, stubbornly holding its ground and dragging back those four-colored rays of light.

"Whew."

Qin Jian let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Qin Jian, it's my turn next, right? Hurry, hurry!"

Huo Wu jumped directly in front of Qin Jian.

Clearly, they had already figured out what Qin Jian was doing.

Even if they couldn't understand why Qin Jian could improve so miraculously, now was not the time to delve into it; surviving was the most important thing.

"Do we hold hands? Or do you want a hug? Or a kiss?"

Huo Wu's rapid-fire questions made Qin Jian's head buzz instantly.

He retorted irritably: "We have to do it live!"

"Ah? W-what... do what?!"

Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks burned bright red, and she became uncharacteristically shy: "That... isn't that too... too shameless..."

"Hehe..."

Seeing her like this, Qin Jian couldn't help but laugh.

"Fine, you tricked me!"

Huo Wu wasn't stupid; she immediately jumped up and gave his head a hard smack.

Qin Jian remained cheerful, catching her as he did so and holding her tight.

"Huo Wu, after all these years, you're still so lively, and still so persistent..."

He sighed softly.

This girl had also changed a lot, from her initial reckless domineering nature to later considering his thoughts, being willing to wait for him, and not forgetting him for many years.

The Fourth Soul Ring also lit up because of her.

"Xiao Wu..."

The cutest, most moving, and most precious little sister he never wanted to hurt; Qin Jian's eyes looked over and could not move away.

Whether it was the watering over ninety thousand years or that fierce bite during her transformation, both left an indelible bond between the two.

The Fifth Soul Ring lit up without any difficulty.

"Nana..."

Finally, it was the little fox's turn.

She might be the most infatuated one among all nine.

Even though the story began with Charm, she quickly broke free from the influence of Charm, and they were truly attracted to each other.

This was not a bad or superficial thing; on the contrary, it was a very important part.

The past Qin Jian was too obsessed with spiritual love and had instead neglected physical contact.

It was Hu Liena who thoroughly developed the desires within him, and it was she who played out so many variations.

Even without mentioning anything else, just for this, she deserved a Soul Ring.

What's more, this was a woman who truly loved to the point of forgetting herself; she was even willing to be a slave...

"Hum!"

The Sixth Soul Ring lit up.

Swish, swish, swish!

Qin Jian looked up at the sky once more; the fourth, fifth, and sixth golden flame Soul Rings connected together, once again supplying him with immense power.

Following that, the divine sword shone brilliantly again, gathering the power of the six people, and finally stood perfectly on par with the four-colored light, stalling in mid-air for a moment.

"It's my turn. What do you intend to say to me?"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms, looking arrogant.

Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, she is the only woman who has opened both caves; she has always been this way, hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

Qin Jian hugged her tightly without a word: "Xue'er, I will never be separated from you again."

"Then what if I take action against your women?"

Qian Renxue glanced at the others: "You also know that I never promised you I would be with others."

"Let me bear all the pain alone," Qin Jian stroked her cheek dotingly: "As long as my Xue'er can be happy, anything is fine."

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Hmph, you only know how to coax people!"

Qin Jian smiled slightly.

He knew that Qian Renxue might be the one with the most darkness in the depths of her heart.

But he also knew that she was the person most easily melted by affection.

Because she lacked love the most, she cherished it more and was more unwilling to let go.

Being able to become the emotional anchor she wanted most in her heart, Qin Jian felt he was very lucky.

"Hum!"

The Seventh Soul Ring flashed, and Qian Renxue also obediently stood on a petal with the others.

"Dong'er..."

For this peerlessly elegant Female Pope, being able to have a relationship with her, Qin Jian also felt very lucky.

If it weren't for that Illusion Love Tribulation, she would surely have been the most difficult hurdle.

A hard-hearted politician, an empress with power over the world—without that prerequisite, it would have been impossible for her to easily develop feelings for him.

Even so, in the past, she still chose to take action, chose to let him become her Soul Ring.

Like Qian Renxue, they were not the type of characters who would spend their whole lives with someone just because they took a fancy to them; what they thought of first was still self-interest.

Being able to make them change in the end, let go, and be willing to become a part of him, Qin Jian was very lucky.

"Come, my Pope..."

He slowly reached out and pulled her slender, perfect body into his arms.

That extreme satisfaction instantly birthed the Eighth Soul Ring, and her soul power reached level 90.

The petals extended again, and this time only the last one remained.

Qin Jian turned around and smiled: "Big sister, are you still afraid of getting old now?"

Having obtained the Sea God's Heart, Poseixi was radiant, once again becoming that big sister who looked only twenty or thirty years old.

She smiled gently: "If it is to grow old with you, then I am not afraid."

Qin Jian reached out his hand: "We probably won't have the chance to become a white-haired old man and old woman, but we can stay together forever, until the end of time."
