Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 937 - 926: Distracted Qin Jiuluo

Bai Yan's arrangements were all carefully remembered by Fu Chao, who then retreated. Bai Yan had assigned so many tasks at once; he needed a lot of time to arrange them all accordingly.

At this moment, however, Bai Yan sought out Qin Jiuluo.

"Jiuluo, come over here for a moment, I need to talk to you."

Bai Yan's voice echoed in Qin Jiuluo's mind with a hint of excitement.

"Yes, Brother Yan."

Yet, from Qin Jiuluo's response, Bai Yan sensed a trace of unease, or perhaps, it was hesitation.

Soon, Qin Jiuluo came to Bai Yan's side. Currently, Qin Jiuluo's strength was not weak either; even ordinary supremes couldn't withstand a single blow from him.

But Bai Yan clearly saw a hint of loneliness in Qin Jiuluo's eyes, a sign of indecision.

However, Bai Yan did not directly point this out to Qin Jiuluo. He knew that Qin Jiuluo was someone who never needed him to worry; no matter what task was assigned, he would give his all to accomplish it.

Would it be the same this time?

"Jiuluo, I've called you here to tell you that I've instructed Fu Chao to start recruiting in the Human World, preparing to train in various small worlds."

"In the upcoming rest period, you'll be leading these new recruits in exercises in different worlds, turning them into stronger warriors. Only then can I bestow the Demon Power upon them. Do you understand?"

Bai Yan smiled as he instructed Qin Jiuluo.

He expected Qin Jiuluo to respond immediately, but was surprised when Qin Jiuluo seemed dazed, as if he hadn't heard Bai Yan's instructions at all.

"Jiuluo?"

Bai Yan raised his voice, yet still received no response from Qin Jiuluo.

This uncharacteristic state made Bai Yan frown, as it was the first time he had seen Qin Jiuluo, usually so decisive, like this.

His eyes shifted slightly, his fingers formed a magic spell, and a mighty, subtle sound emanated from his mouth, shaking Qin Jiuluo's soul!

"Wake up!"

The soul-stirring sound resonated in Qin Jiuluo's mind, gradually bringing him out of his daze.

"Oh... Brother Yan, what did you want to talk about?"

Qin Jiuluo hadn't noticed the immense curiosity in Bai Yan's eyes. Though he was awake, his attention wasn't really on Bai Yan.

"Jiuluo... I'll be straightforward. Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation lately? If it's about seeking a breakthrough, there's no need to rush. Your current strength is formidable; you needn't be obsessed with cultivation."

Bai Yan assumed that Qin Jiuluo's unease was related to his breakthrough attempts.

However, clearly Qin Jiuluo's disoriented state wasn't due to this issue; something else was troubling him!

"Oh... yes, Brother Yan, I understand."

Although Qin Jiuluo's words were affirming, Bai Yan noticed that his gaze remained unfocused, clearly indicating his mind was elsewhere.

Was it not a matter of cultivation? Could it be related to insights into the way of slaughter?

Bai Yan pondered silently, his brow furrowing more deeply.

"If you're having trouble with insights into your slaughter techniques, you can talk to me about it. Who knows, my thoughts might offer you some inspiration."

Bai Yan continued, looking into Qin Jiuluo's eyes.

To Bai Yan, Qin Jiuluo was indispensable in his faction; it wouldn't be excessive to call him the First General.

"No issues; my insights are progressing smoothly. At the current rate, I should break through within three months."

Qin Jiuluo's unfocused gaze confirmed for Bai Yan that something was on his mind. Yet, after questioning twice, Bai Yan still hadn't reached the core of the issue, which subtly worried him.

"So, what exactly are you worried about? What's disrupting your state of mind? No matter how big the issue, you can share it with me, and I'll bear it with you!"

Bai Yan's expression gradually cooled, and a fleeting thought crossed his mind about the possibility of Qin Jiuluo being possessed by Outer Realm Life Remnants.

"It's just... Brother Yan... can I really talk about it?"

Qin Jiuluo's face, usually composed like steel, unexpectedly turned a bit red, which Bai Yan noticed sharply.

Qin Jiuluo blushing? What's going on here? Wait... is he in love?!

A few possibilities flashed through Bai Yan's mind, but he quickly dismissed them. To him, Qin Jiuluo, a man only concerned with killing on the battlefield and devoid of romance, couldn't possibly attract a girl.

"Go ahead, whatever it is, I'll bear it with you."

Bai Yan took a deep breath, bracing himself for Qin Jiuluo's surprising revelation.

"Brother Yan, how do I tell a girl that I like her?"

Qin Jiuluo truly blushed. When he asked this question, never before afraid on the battlefield, he felt a hint of retreat.

Qin Jiuluo actually fell in love?! Is it a secret crush?!

Bai Yan looked at Qin Jiuluo, his face red as a boiled shrimp, utterly stunned into silence.

"Ahem, ahem..."

After a long while, Bai Yan returned to his senses, coughed lightly, and asked Qin Jiuluo seriously.

"These matters vary with the person... ahem... what kind of girl is she that you like? You should choose a way of confessing that suits her..."

"There's no universal standard. If she's an outgoing girl, you should express it directly. If she's shy, then show her bit by bit through your daily actions. And if she..."

"But who is it that you like? Would she like you, a man only concerned with killing?"

Bai Yan couldn't help but voice his curiosity while speaking to Qin Jiuluo.

"She might like me, right? She also follows the path of slaughter; she shouldn't have anything against my pursuits, right? Besides, we had a great time talking before; her thoughts on the path of slaughter inspired me greatly."

Qin Jiuluo seemed lost in memory, looking blissfully into the void as he answered Bai Yan's question.

"Oh? A girl cultivating the way of slaughter? You two really are a perfect match born for each other. It's amazing you found such a girl, but since you did, remember to cherish her... If you're too nervous to confess, I can find someone to help you out..."

Bai Yan listened to Qin Jiuluo's response, filled with admiration, realizing that fate in this world is truly beyond expression in words.
