Chapter 3: A distressed star?

As the waves crashed against the shore, there were vast and distant swooshing sounds. The faint sea breeze carried a light fishy and salty scent as it caressed the shore.

Le Qingling held a wicker basket in her hand and walked along the beach happily with her bare white feet.

She would rush to the beach every day when the tide ebbed to catch a few crabs and shells. Ever since the start of the interstellar migration, Douluo's ecology kept changing and various organisms were thriving and there was much lesser environmental pollution.

Their family was very unwilling to migrate—their ancestors once said that they were born as citizens of Douluo and would die as citizens of Douluo. No matter what Soul Land (Douluo Da Lu) became, their Le family will not leave.

Le Qingling was 19 years old this year, and it was the first awakening of love for a girl. She stayed at home during her recent summer break and picked up the habit of combing the beach.

The South Sea of Soul Land had the most abundant sea creatures, and she loved eating seashells with white grape juice— it was simply divine. Especially the white wine lobster that her father cooked. To her, that was the most delicious thing in the world.

Currently, there were a few shells and a couple of large crabs in her basket. No matter how they struggled, they were blocked by a faint golden light on the surface of the basket.

Le Qingling jogged a few steps and leaped about three to four meters high. She spread her arms wide and swung the basket like she wanted to glide in midair.

"Ay, when can I fly! Why didn't my innate abilities emerge even though my martial arts spirit has already been awakened? It's so frustrating! I want to fly, want to fly, want to fly!"

"En?" Just as her body landed on the ground, she suddenly saw something at the distant coastline.

What is that?

Le Qingling had always been curious about any new living creatures, and she quickly ran over to take a look. However, when she got closer, she slowed down. To her shocking discovery, that looked like a person. Half of this person's body was in the sea, and the other half was on the shore. But he seemed very heavy—no matter how strong the waves were, he was still stuck in the sand and didn't move at all.

That is...

A corpse?

Le Qingling shuddered and immediately stopped in her tracks. Why would there be a corpse on the beach?

She composed herself, took a deep breath, and a faint white glow emerged from within her. Following that, there were three spirit rings that appeared beneath her feet— two yellow and one purple.

"Why should I be afraid? I am the Great Spirit Master. Even if he's a vengeful spirit, zombie, or whatever—I will be able to purify him! Look out—Holy Light, shine forth!"

The first spirit ring, which was yellow, glistened, and a white ray of light shot out of her hand directly at that "corpse".

Seeing the white light shining on that man, she was very satisfied with herself. This Holy Light had a healing and cleansing effect on ordinary people. And to those evil spirits, it would become an attack after purification—the effect was very good.

The white light landed on that man's body; Le Qingling could also see very clearly that the man had two legs on the beach, and his upper body was still submerged in the sea. She was more convinced now that it was a corpse. He had drowned to death already!

However, under the Holy Light, the man's legs appeared very resplendent, straight, and long. The upper part of his body until his knees were still submerged in the water.

"Phew." Le Qingling let out a long sigh and thought to herself,This is really just a corpse.

She just had to call the police and let the relevant authorities take the corpse.

She withdrew the Holy Light, and just as Le Qingling was about to contact the relevant authorities with her own Soul Guidance Communications Device, she didn't expect for this scene to take place.

All she heard was the crashing of the water, and the man actually sat right up. Other than his hips and genitals that were still submerged in the water, his upper body was completely out of the water.

"AH—" Le Qingling screamed. All the courage she had just now was tossed to the back of her head. She jumped backward, turned around, and ran.

After all, she had the Great Spirit Master cultivation, so her speed was incomparably fast; she was over a hundred meters away in a blink of an eye.

She only dared to turn around for a glimpse when she was far enough, and she saw that the man was still sitting in the water. He seemed to be shaking his head and didn't have any intention of chasing her.

Le Qingling was breathing heavily, and she tried to calm herself as she patted her chest and gradually stopped running.

"I am a Great Spirit Master, I am a Great Spirit Master, why should I be afraid! What's there to be afraid of! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I won't be afraid!"

She turned around once again but didn't dare to get near him and only looked at that man from afar.

Due to the distance, she couldn't really see that man's appearance, but she could roughly see that he had a great body. Although he was seated in the water, his shoulders were broad with muscular arms. He had long, dark blue hair draping over his shoulders, covering most of his face.

Le Qingling's curiosity was piqued, and it slightly prevailed over her fear. Just as she was about to get closer, that man stood up all of a sudden.

"AH—" Li Qingling screamed again because she saw something that a young 19-year-old girl had not seen before.

She quickly turned her head and pointed in the man's direction with her right hand. "Stinking gangster, you're shameless!"

The man seemed to understand what she meant. When he looked down at himself, he was stunned.

"Sorry, I..."

His voice was somewhat stiff but it was pleasing to the ears. Le Qingling realized that they were about 200 meters apart yet that man's voice sounded like he was right beside her.

He knows how to apologize?

"You... you cover up." She tossed the jacket that was tied around her waist on the ground, turned around, and ran a little further away.

"Oh, okay." that man's voice sounded once again and the stiffness reduced.

Not sure why, but Le Jingling suddenly had the urge to turn around to take a glimpse again. She seemed to see a distinct eight pack! His physique was really great.

"I'm done," his voice rang in her ears once again.

Le Qingling then turned around and realized that the man was already standing where she was at just now. Her jacket was covering his genitals but he was still mostly naked, revealing a perfect physique.

This time, Le Qingling finally saw his face. She kept staring at him.

How dashing, he's so good looking!

He had a sharp nose, beautiful lips that were neither too thick or thin, a pair of big black eyes which seemed to be a pale golden glow. His long blue hair flowed on his back, soft and shiny. He appeared to be around his twenties and wasn't much older than her. With this outlook, could he be a star in distressed?

The man spoke again, and there was a tinge of confusion in his tone, "Hello, could you tell me where is this place? And me, who am I?"
