62 -59: The First Battle of Conquest, Angel Demon

The woman Meng Tuoluo had been so deeply wounded that her entire heart had turned ice cold.

Thus, reviving her was truly not an easy task.

There were seven days left until the wedding, and Meng Tuoluo did not come this day.

It was evident that yesterday’s words from Lanling had struck the most painful spot in her heart.

Should she come at this time, her heart would reveal cracks.

She would wait until her heart was once again thoroughly complete before returning.

Another day passed, with six days remaining until the wedding, but Meng Tuoluo still had not come.

Three meals a day were delivered, bathwater was prepared daily, and there were new clothes to change into every day.

Two days had gone by, and Meng Tuoluo had not come, which meant the time Lanling had to conquer her heart was reduced by another two days.

If she didn’t come before they knelt at the wedding ceremony, then Lanling would certainly die without a doubt.

Of course, Lanling was also gambling, betting that Meng Tuoluo wouldn’t admit defeat in this psychological battle.

So, when her heart was strong enough, she would certainly come back.

On the third day, with five days left until the wedding, Meng Tuoluo indeed came.

“My Lord, look at this wedding dress I’ve chosen.

Isn’t it pretty?” Black Widow came in and turned around in front of Lanling.

This was a long dress with purplish-red color, which accentuated her fairy-like delicate curves even more enchantingly.

“It’s pretty,” said Lanling, “but it doesn’t suit you.”

“How could it not suit me?” Meng Tuoluo said.

“I took a long, long time to select this dress.”

Lanling said, “The purplish-red color signifies maturity.

You think your heart has aged.

Bright red is too cheerful, while purplish-red is like the color of dried blood, so you chose this.”

“That’s right, I really like it,” Meng Tuoluo said.

“I”ve picked out this wedding dress.

If you want me to change my mind, you’ll have to design a new outfit for me.

If it’s truly beautiful, you will have won a round.”

This woman was challenging Lanling to a duel; she had always regarded men as nothing more than playthings to toy with at her leisure.

Previously, by revealing the story behind her, Lanling employed a psychological tactic.

He challenged her in the realm of romance, which she quite enjoyed, feeling it added a bit of interest to her otherwise boring life.

Just like the Shadow Spider Queen, she wanted to outsmart humans with her intelligence, feeling inferior because she did not regard herself as a creature of wisdom.

And now, Meng Tuoluo, the Black Widow, having been deeply hurt by a man emotionally, sought to utterly toy with men’s emotions and defeat them completely in this arena.

In this emotional warfare between men and women, what is being competed over?

Of course, it involves charms, taste, and so on.

Lanling could see that Meng Tuoluo had exquisite taste and was not a real Barbarian.

“Fine, give me one day.

Come back tomorrow to see; if the new attire I design doesn’t move you, I shall consider it my loss,” Lanling said.

“Alright, I will come back tomorrow,” Meng Tuoluo said, and then she gracefully departed.

“Please provide me with a large piece of paper, brushes, and various colors of paint,” Lanling said.

“Someone will bring them immediately,” Meng Tuoluo said.

…

Indeed, someone promptly delivered a set of professional drawing tools including a drawing board, paper, brushes, and various paints.

Very professional, making Lanling realize that this woman also had a not insignificant talent for painting.

Consequently, she must come from the Human Kingdom and possibly even noble birth.

For the next ten hours, Lanling devoted himself to painting.

Back in the royal city, when he painted for courtesans, Lanling did so earnestly to make money.

But now, he truly painted with his life on the line, for it could save him.

His eyes blazed with fervor as he channeled all his spirit, all his soul, into the painting before him.

There was only one goal he sought to achieve: to pierce directly through the heart of Meng Tuoluo.

How to pierce it?

By depicting Meng Tuoluo before she turned into the perverse Black Widow, revealing her on the canvas just as she was before the transformation.

As for designing a new outfit for her, that was the easiest part — he would use a white wedding dress from Earth.

It symbolizes beauty, purity, happiness.

Loved by billions of women on Earth, there is no doubt that it’s the epitome of aesthetic excellence.

It could be said that in any realm, any world, it had the power to capture a woman’s heart.

Therefore, the most important thing was to capture the state of Meng Tuoluo before her heart was wounded, before she became the Black Widow.

This required Lanling to boldly imagine and make precise assumptions, guessing and understanding deeply enough about her background and identity.

Then Lanling embarked on a very bold conception!

Meng Tuoluo was born into a noble family in one of the Human Kingdoms, and not just any nobility, but high nobility.

Why so?

Because the Sky Screen Ring she wore could only come from the Dragon Temple.

Therefore, she was likely a pure priestess in the Dragon Temple, possibly even a candidate for angelhood.

Her martial arts talents were extremely remarkable; otherwise, she would not have surpassed the Samurai at such a young age.

Moreover, her spiritual power would be considerable since she dared to enter the lair of the Shadow Spider Queen directly.

So, she could have become a high-ranking priestess in the Dragon Temple.

However, an exceptionally outstanding man appeared and captured her heart.

She fell from a saintly candidate for angelhood into the sea of love.

Without a doubt, she would be punished.

Not only would she be expelled from the Dragon Temple, but she might also be cast out of her family.

Hence, her lover became her only support.

But she harbored no regrets, willing to abandon everything for him.

She would give up her bright future in the Dragon Temple, her faith, her family.

The wedding was soon approaching, and with her heart brimming with joy, she was preparing to welcome the most beautiful moment of her life.

She was ready to become the most beautiful and happiest bride.

Thus, she began designing her own wedding gown, aiming to astonish everyone at the wedding and eclipse all other beauties.

Finally, the wedding day arrived — her most wonderful, most blissful moment was upon her, all the sacrifices had their reward.

However, during this most marvelous and happy moment, a mishap occurred at the wedding.

For some special reason, her beloved man abandoned her; either he left during the wedding or never showed up at all.

Afterward, she became a laughingstock to everyone and was left with absolutely nothing.

Without faith, without emotions, without family, without kin.

But she possessed breathtaking beauty and extraordinary martial arts skills, so she began to turn dark, to become incredibly cruel, to kill, to seek revenge.

For some unknown reason, she could no longer find refuge in the Human Kingdom, so she came to the vast mountains, to the Serpent Tribe.

Perhaps because of her beauty or perhaps because of her strength, she conquered all members of the Serpent Tribe, becoming the female Chieftain.

But why was she colluding with Princess Zhining?

That was a mystery, yet there was no doubt that their relationship was entirely one of mutual use, a relationship of interests.

Yes, the plan was now completely solid, without any flaws, everything was traceable.

So, what should Black Widow Meng Tuoluo have been like before her transformation?

She should have been an Angel, an exceedingly holy, intelligent, kind, and innocent Angel.

Only thus could she have been a candidate for the Saintess of the Dragon Temple.

After fully conceptualizing his idea, Lanling picked up his paintbrush and began to paint.

What else was needed besides putting one’s life, one’s soul into painting?

Emotion, that’s right, emotion.

That incomparable affection, that incomparable tenderness, needed to fully permeate the painting.

Moreover, he wanted Meng Tuoluo to feel this love, to feel Lanling’s deep affection for her from deep inside his heart.

At this moment, Lanling was completely engrossed in his concept, temporarily shutting out everyone from his heart, pouring all of his affection and all that was beautiful into the portrait.

He painted very, very quickly and also very, very attentively.

If nothing unexpected happened, this was supposed to be his outstanding masterpiece, his most perfect work.

Every line was filled with emotion and liveliness.

Every shade of light and shadow was filled with beauty and allure.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

A full fifteen hours passed.

Lanling completed his most glorious piece of art, then he covered the portrait with a black cloth and went straight to bed to sleep.

…

The next morning, before Lanling had woken up, his spiritual power immediately awakened him because someone was standing before him.

He bolted upright and saw the stunning beauty of Meng Tuoluo before his eyes.

Today, she wore a glittery purple long dress, with a rather low-cut neckline, even revealing an enticing white cleavage.

Around her neck hung a blue diamond pendant.

The dress was very light, glistening faintly with the luster of thin crystal.

She was truly too beautiful, Lanling had never seen such a captivating dress in this world.

Without a doubt, this dress was also designed by Meng Tuoluo herself, one of the gowns she had prepared to wear at her wedding, and it was one of her favorites.

This woman genuinely possessed exceptional artistic talent.

Seeing Lanling’s amazed gaze, Meng Tuoluo gracefully walked a few steps, then twirled lightly, asking, “What do you think?”

“It steals all the limelight, captures all the aura,” replied Lanling.

Meng Tuoluo said with pride, “Then do you think that the wedding dress you designed can surpass mine?”

If it were entirely up to Lanling himself, he truly lacked the confidence to surpass this woman in artistic accomplishment.

But he had the trump card – the wedding dress, a garment conceived solely for weddings, a dress that condensed every woman’s beautiful fantasies.

“Your dress is very nice, but the wedding dress I’ve designed will utterly eclipse it,” Lanling said.

Instantly, Meng Tuoluo’s competitive spirit flared.

She believed there were few in this world who could surpass her in artistic accomplishment.

Princess Zhining was formidable enough, but in artistic accomplishment, she wasn’t quite on the same level.

Her works lacked imagination and aura.

And this Suo Lun before her, while having some talent, was quite superficial and ostentatious.

Could his dress designs surpass her own?

It was utterly impossible for his artistic and aesthetic accomplishments to surpass her own.

Immediately, Meng Tuoluo let out a scornful chuckle, utterly disbelieving.

Lanling walked up to the portrait.

He didn’t look great at the moment; having labored through the night, he had slept for less than five hours, so his eyes were bloodshot, and his disheveled hair had not been groomed or tended to.

He grasped the black cloth covering the easel and asked, “Are you ready?

Ready to be greeted by the most beautiful wedding dress in the world?”

Meng Tuoluo shrugged her shoulders, her lips curling into a disdainful smile, a testament to her confidence and contempt in the realm of art.

What kind of artistic talent could these men have?

What impressive attire could they design?

Nothing but a profusion of showiness, complex patterns, gold trims, and silver threads.

To surpass her Shadow Crystal dress, how could that be possible?

“Reveal it,” said Meng Tuoluo.

Lanling yanked off the black cloth.

Suddenly, an angel of utmost beauty, an angel of purity, an angel embodying all innocence and goodness, appeared before Meng Tuoluo.

Dressed in snow-white bridal attire, as if to capture all the beauty and fantasy of the world.

In an instant, Meng Tuoluo was completely stunned.
