In Lin Ting's study, the atmosphere seemed unusually serious. Although the three of them had reached a consensus, as Lin Tiantian's brother, Lin Ting naturally would not easily betroth his sister to someone, especially a prince from the demon realm.
Lin Ting stood in front of the desk, looking deeply at Shue Ling, and said in a steady tone, " Shue Ling, since you are determined to be with my sister for life, I have a responsibility to ensure that you can handle this responsibility. Therefore, I have set three tests to test your sincerity and ability."
Shue Ling Immediately put on a serious expression and responded, "Brother Lin, no matter what kind of test it is, I will accomplish it to prove my determination."
Lin Tiantian looked curious and asked eagerly, "Brother, what kind of test have you set? Is it very difficult?"
Lin Ting glanced at her younger sister and smiled faintly: "The first test is the 'priceless' test. Shue Ling, I need you to bring back an extremely rare item for Tiantian within three days. Remember, this item must be something Tiantian loves."
Shue Ling nodded in understanding, while Lin Tiantian was ecstatic, imagining what rare item Shue Ling would bring back for her.
"The second test is to 'bravely pass through the ghost gate,'" Lin Ting's tone became more serious, "In the Wanguilin to the west of the city, there is an ancient tower called the Ghost Gate Tower. You must enter alone and retrieve the token of the Ghost King from the top of the tower."
Although Shue Ling's face did not show panic, she understood in her heart that the Wanguilin was not to be taken lightly; it was an extremely dangerous place.
"The final test is to 'protect the one you love.' I will arrange a special task for you. You need to ensure the safety of Tiantian within a day without her knowledge."
Shue Ling smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lin, I accept all three tests. I will prove with my actions that my love for Tiantian is not just empty words."
Lin Tiantian couldn't help but pull on Shue Ling's sleeve and quietly say, " Shue Ling, you must be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Shue Ling gently held her hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely and not let you worry."
On the first day of the test, Shue Ling set off to the East Sea in search of the legendary "Sea Heart Stone" - a precious gem that can only be found at specific times and locations, said to prove the deep affection of the ocean, which perfectly matches Lin Tiantian's preferences.
Shue Ling's journey was full of hardships. The trip to the East Sea was not just a treasure hunt for him, but also a journey of self-discovery. Starting from the coastline of the East Sea, he sailed alone in a small boat towards the vast sea.
Upon entering the sea, the surface was as calm as a mirror, but Shue Ling knew clearly that this was just the calm before the storm. As expected, soon after, dense dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and a fierce storm quickly formed, with huge waves continuously crashing towards his small boat. Shue Ling firmly grasped the helm and, relying on his extraordinary strength, bravely navigated through the storm.
However, this was just the beginning of nature's test. When the storm subsided, a giant sea creature leaped out from the deep sea, surrounding his boat and himself. This was a legendary sea serpent, possessing earth-shattering power. Faced with such a formidable enemy, Shue Ling showed no sign of retreat. These dangers on the journey were all opportunities for him to prove himself and prove his deep affection for Tiantian.
The battle was about to begin, and Shue Ling used his superb martial arts skills and control over natural elements to engage in a fierce confrontation with the sea serpent. After a hard-fought battle, he finally used his intelligence to outmaneuver the sea serpent and found an opportunity to defeat it, driving it back.
After enduring a series of battles, Shue Ling was greatly weakened, but he did not give up. When he arrived at the mysterious sea area where the legendary Heart of the Sea appeared, the sky was already filled with stars. In a tranquil sea, under the moonlight, he finally saw the shimmering, mysteriously blue Heart of the Sea, quietly lying on a small rock in the sea.
At the moment of obtaining the Heart of the Sea, Shue Ling deeply felt that all the efforts and sacrifices were worth it. This was not only for the pleasure of Lin Tiantian, but also to prove his deep and vast feelings for her - as deep and vast as the sea. He carefully tucked away the Heart of the Sea and turned to leave.
Subsequently, Shue Ling set out on a journey once again, this time heading to the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest. Shue Ling stepped steadily, and as he entered the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest, a deep and bottomless mist enveloped the surroundings, making the forest appear even more eerie and terrifying. The trees twisted, the wind howled, as if every gust carried the wails of countless spirits. But for Shue Ling, none of this was enough to inspire fear; he had only one goal - the ancient tower of the Ghost Gate.
Crossing through the dense jungle, facing off against ghosts and demons, Shue Ling finally arrived at the ancient tower called "Ghost Gate." The tower soared into the clouds, emitting a chilling aura. Shue Ling took a deep breath and stepped into the tower, where the howling wind inside the tower seemed to be surrounded by countless spirits.
At the top of the tower, the ghost king sat in its majestic and terrifying form. Its eyes gleamed with a cold light, clearly indicating its malevolent nature.
Shue Ling Standing in front of the Ghost King, he said without flinching, "Ghost King, I've come to take the token." His voice was firm, showing undeniable courage.
The Ghost King let out a sinister laugh, sneering, "Mortal dares to intrude into my Ghost Forest, and even wants to take my token, truly overestimating your abilities!"
Shue Ling fearlessly responded, "Now that I'm here, I won't leave empty-handed. Ghost King, if you don't hand over the token, we will battle."
Immediately, a fierce confrontation erupted between the two. Shue Ling used his martial arts and spiritual power to engage in a heart-pounding battle with the Ghost King. He skillfully avoided the Ghost King's attacks while seeking opportunities to counter. After a bitter struggle, Shue Ling finally found the Ghost King's weakness, defeated it, and obtained the token.
At the moment when the Demon King was defeated, he let out a scream and then dissipated into a black mist. Shue Ling Holding the token, although Snow Ling's face showed no expression, his heart was filled with the joy of victory.
On the way out of the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts, Snow Ling looked back at the area filled with fear and death, feeling even more determined. This battle was not only a proof of his strength, but also a test of his will.
As for the final test, the "special mission" arranged by Lin Ting was actually to have Shue Ling protect Lin Tiantian for a day without her knowledge.
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone into Lin Tiantian's room, she was still wandering in the land of dreams. Shortly after, Lin Ting gently knocked on the door, waking her up. Today, he arranged a series of activities aimed at testing Shue Ling, while also bringing a day of joy to Lin Tiantian.
Lin Tiantian Rubbing her eyes, she energetically jumped out of bed and asked, "What interesting things are we going to do today?"
Lin Ting Smiled and replied, "Today, you and I will participate in a martial arts competition, and then we'll go to the market."
Lin Tiantian blinked and asked, "What about Shue Ling?"
Lin Ting shook her head and replied, "I can't tell you now. You'll know when the time comes."
And Shue Ling, under the special arrangement of Lin Ting, took on an alias as an ordinary person and secretly followed Lin Tiantian. Although he was somewhat puzzled by this arrangement, he decided to do his best to complete this mission for Lin Tiantian's safety.
In the martial arts competition, Lin Tiantian demonstrated the results of her hard training, overcoming some difficulties with astonishing strength and skill. Shue Ling silently watched in the crowd, and only when he saw Lin Tiantian safe and sound did his heart finally relax a little.
After the game, Lin Tiantian excitedly grabbed Lin Ting next to him and said, "Brother, I won! Did you see that?"
Lin Ting responded with a smile, "I saw it, you did great."
Next, they went to the market. Lin Tiantian was like a free-spirited deer, weaving through the market with a keen interest in every item. Meanwhile, Shue Ling kept a suitable distance, secretly watching over her.
At a small stall, Lin Tiantian spotted a cute little accessory. She turned around excitedly, only to find that Lin Ting had already left without her noticing, and Shue Ling had quietly paid for the item.
"What is this...?" Lin Tiantian looked at the small package handed to her with confusion.
The stall owner smiled, "A gentleman has already paid for you."
Lin Tiantian looked around but did not see any familiar figures. She frowned and quickly put on a smile, saying, "There really are mysterious kind-hearted people."
Throughout the day, Shue Ling successfully protected Lin Tiantian, ensuring her safety as she completed all her activities. Meanwhile, Lin Tiantian unknowingly enjoyed a day of happiness and surprises.
In the evening, when Lin Ting revealed everything to Shue Ling, Lin Tiantian looked at Shue Ling in astonishment and was deeply moved. Shue Ling smiled and said that everything was worth it as long as he could protect her.
Seeing this, Lin Ting finally showed a satisfied smile and said, " Shue Ling, you have not only proven your love but also demonstrated extraordinary abilities. I believe entrusting Tiantian to you was the right choice."
Shue Ling Fold your hands in gratitude. As for Lin Tiantian, she happily pounced into Shue Ling's arms, her eyes sparkling with joy.
