Douluo V: I was reborn as a snake. It makes sense to have many children and more blessings.

Qin Shou lowered his head and gazed at the beauty named Gu Xun'er in his arms. Her eyelids were slightly drooped, like the softest dewdrops in the morning light, with a barely perceptible hint of shyness and expectation.

The corners of his mouth inadvertently drew a gentle arc, and that smile hid countless unspoken emotions, but it could not hide the sharpness and determination that flashed across his eyes.

Surrounded by ancient and mysterious castles, every stone brick seems to tell the vicissitudes and secrets of thousands of years.

Qin Shou's thoughts drifted away briefly, but he was soon pulled back to reality. He knew very well that the reason he stepped into this forgotten territory was not just for love.

So, he slowly stretched out his slender fingers and gently lifted Gu Xun'er's delicate chin. That action was filled with both pampering and irresistible power.

As he approached, Gu Xun'er felt the warmth of his breath, and ripples began to appear in her heart.

However, just when she was about to indulge in the gentle arms of love, Qin Shou's lips gently touched her forehead, which turned into an affectionate yet measured kiss, as if telling her that even in this extremely romantic moment, he had not forgotten the important mission of this trip.

"Xun'er, who is the most powerful person in your Gu family?" Qin Shou's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of seriousness that could not be ignored.

Gu Xun'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, flashing with surprise and confusion.

She had never expected that in such a charming atmosphere, Qin Shou would suddenly bring up such a serious topic.

But then, she regained her usual calmness and composure, and replied: "As far as I can remember, my great grandfather's soul power has already reached the peak of level 99. He is an existence that the Gu family and even the entire continent look up to. However, since I was young, I have rarely had the opportunity to see him. His whereabouts are always erratic, just like the secrets of this ancient castle, hard to grasp."

Speaking of this, the complex light flickering in Gu Xun'er's bright eyes was like the most imperceptible stars in the night sky, which aroused people's imagination.

There is a deep respect for the legendary figure in the family, a kind of worship that transcends time and space, as if the old man is not only the continuation of the bloodline, but also the embodiment of the family's glory and hope.

However, beneath this admiration, there is also an unspeakable worry, like dark clouds quietly gathering, foreshadowing the coming storm.

The future of the family is like a pearl hanging on a thin string, both dazzling and precarious.

Gu Xun'er took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her inner turmoil. Then, her words flowed slowly like a stream, and she continued with a barely perceptible tremor, "I heard my father whisper that my great grandfather has chosen to stay in the most secret chamber in the castle in recent years, confined himself to his own room, vowing to break through the legendary 100-level barrier. That is a realm that even our ancestors have never reached, and it is the pinnacle that all soul masters dream of."

Speaking of this, Gu Xun'er's tone couldn't help but add a bit of awe and anticipation.

Hearing Gu Xun'er's gentle yet meaningful words, Qin Shou's heart seemed to be blown by a warm and clear spring breeze, and all his doubts and speculations disappeared in an instant.

His gaze pierced through layers of void, as if it could penetrate the barriers of time and space, and looked directly at the legendary old man who had been in seclusion for a long time.

Previously, the fluctuation of soul power that inadvertently touched his heartstrings was like the brightest star in the night sky, leading him to explore unknown mysteries. Now thinking about it, it was the foreshadowing of the old man breaking through the shackles and entering a new realm.

Qin Shou thought to himself that the old man must have gone through a lot of hardships during his retreat, and finally broke through the bottleneck of his cultivation and reached an unprecedented height.

Next, his goal will undoubtedly be even higher - to condense the supreme godhood, or to wait for the call from the Douluo God Realm and step into the legendary realm of gods.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

However, he did not forget that there was an equally important person around him—Gu Xun'er, whose eyes were now shining with anticipation and tenderness.

Qin Shou knew very well that for her at this moment, his company and comfort might be more precious than any external achievements.

So he lowered his head gently, his eyes as gentle as water, meeting Gu Xun'er's bright eyes.

At this moment, the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers, intertwined with the unspoken feelings between the two, creating an indescribable harmony and tranquility.

Gu Xun'er's eyes were brighter at this moment, as if she could see through all the tenderness and determination in Qin Shou's heart. Her gently trembling eyelashes were like the first blooming petals in spring, expressing silent gratitude and attachment.

Qin Shou's movements were gentle yet firm. He slowly stretched out his hand and let his fingertips lightly slide across Gu Xun'er's black and smooth hair. The touch was as delicate as silk, which made him involuntarily intoxicated.

Every strand of hair seemed to carry her emotions. He felt them carefully, trying to use all his strength to smooth out the wrinkles in her heart.

As the distance gradually shortened, a subtle sense of tension and anticipation filled the air.

Finally, Qin Shou could no longer suppress his inner emotions. He leaned forward slightly, letting his breath entangle with Gu Xun'er's.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and the whole world stood still.

His lips gently touched Gu Xun'er's rose-like red lips. The tenderness at that moment was enough to make all the pain and fatigue disappear instantly.

Gu Xun'er's eyes closed slightly, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Qin Shou's neck, responding to this kiss full of love and power.

In this quiet and warm space, two hearts are closely attached to each other. All words seem superfluous. They use their actions to interpret the deepest understanding and tacit understanding between each other.

The chaos and pressure from the outside world seem so insignificant at this moment. Only the love between them, like the bright stars, illuminates each other's world and warms each other's hearts.

The night gently embraced this ancient and solemn castle. The moonlight shone through the delicate stained glass windows, onto Gu Xun'er's sleeping face, giving her a faint silver glow.

There was a satisfied and happy smile on her lips, as if every sweet moment she spent with Qin Shou was weaving in her dream.

The air still held the residual warmth from the two people's intimacy, as well as the lingering faint scent of incense, filling the entire room with an indescribable warmth and beauty.

Qin Shou, a tall and straight man with deep eyes, was looking at Gu Xun'er with an indescribable tenderness.

He slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently slid across Gu Xun'er's soft hair, as if saying goodbye to this tranquility.

Then, carefully, afraid of disturbing the tranquility, he gently pulled his arm out of Gu Xun'er's warm embrace. His movements were so delicate, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, without causing a ripple.

When he stood up, Qin Shou's movements were just as light and slow, and his eyes swept affectionately across Gu Xun'er's face for the last time.
