Chapter 59

Meng Tuoluo was deeply hurt, so her heart had become completely cold. Therefore, it was really not easy to make her come back to life.

With seven days left until the wedding, Meng Tuoluo did not show up that day. It was clear that Lan Ling's words from the previous day had struck the most painful place in her heart. If she came now, there would be a flaw in her heart, so she would wait until her heart was once again completely whole before returning.

Another day passed, and there were now six days left until the wedding, but Meng Tuoluo still did not come.

Every day, three meals were delivered, and every day someone prepared bathwater for her. Every day, there were new clothes to change into.

Two days had passed, and Meng Tuoluo had not come. This meant that the time for Lan Ling to win her heart had been reduced by two days.

If she did not come before the wedding, Lan Ling would be doomed.

Of course, Lan Ling was also betting that Meng Tuoluo would not give up in this psychological battle. So, when her heart was strong enough, she would definitely come back.

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

"Darling, do you think this wedding dress looks good?" The Black Widow came in and twirled in front of Lan Ling.

It was a long purple-red dress that accentuated her fairy-like figure, making her curves even more exquisite.

"Beautiful," Lan Ling said. "But it's not suitable for you."

"How can it not be suitable?" Meng Tuoluo asked. "I picked this dress after a long time."

Lan Ling said, "Purple-red signifies maturity; you feel that your heart has aged. Bright red is too festive, and purple-red is like the color of dried blood. That's why you chose this."

"You're right, I really like it," Meng Tuoluo said. "I've decided on this wedding dress. If you want me to change my mind, you'll have to design a new dress for me. If it's truly beautiful, you'll win this round."

This woman had issued a challenge to Lan Ling. She had always treated men as grass, playing with them in the palm of her hand.

Previously, when Lan Ling revealed her past, it was a psychological tactic. This challenge in romantic feelings appealed to her, adding some excitement to her boring life.

Like the Shadow Spider Queen, she wanted to outsmart humans because she was insecure about not being an intelligent being.

The Black Widow, Meng Tuoluo, had been thoroughly hurt in love, so she wanted to completely toy with men and thoroughly defeat them.

What does a battle of emotions between men and women come down to? Of course, it's charm, taste, and so on.

Lan Ling could see that Meng Tuoluo had high taste and was not a true barbarian.

"Alright, give me one day. Come back tomorrow, and if the new dress I design doesn't move you, I'll admit defeat," Lan Ling said.

"Alright, I'll come back tomorrow," Meng Tuoluo said, then she gracefully left.

"Please bring me a large piece of paper, some drawing tools, and various colors of paint," Lan Ling said.

"Someone will bring them right away," Meng Tuoluo said.

...

Sure enough, soon someone brought a professional drawing board, paper, drawing tools, and various paints.

They were very professional, which made Lan Ling realize that this woman had a high level of skill in painting. This meant she must have come from a human kingdom, possibly even a noble family.

For the next ten hours, Lan Ling was drawing.

Previously, when he drew for the courtesans in the capital, Lan Ling had put his heart into it to earn money.

But now, he was truly drawing with his life, as this could save his life.

His eyes were intense, and he poured all his spirit and soul into the drawing.

His goal was to directly pierce Meng Tuoluo's heart.

How to pierce it? By completely showcasing Meng Tuoluo before she became twisted. As for designing a new dress for her, it was easy—just use a white wedding dress from Earth.

It symbolizes beauty, purity, and happiness.

It is loved by countless women on Earth, undoubtedly the pinnacle of aesthetics. It can captivate women's hearts in any dimension, any world.

So, the most important thing was to draw Meng Tuoluo before she was emotionally hurt, before she became the Black Widow.

This required Lan Ling to boldly imagine and make rigorous assumptions, thoroughly guessing and understanding her background.

So, Lan Ling made a very bold conception!

Meng Tuoluo was born into a noble family in a human kingdom, and a high-ranking one at that.

Why say this? Because she wore the Heavenly Screen Ring of the Divine Dragon Temple, which only the Divine Dragon Temple had.

So, she was likely a high-ranking female disciple of the Divine Dragon Temple, perhaps even a candidate for the Holy Maiden.

Her martial arts and talents were extremely outstanding; otherwise, she wouldn't have surpassed a Dragon Warrior at such a young age. Moreover, her mental cultivation was high; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to directly enter the Shadow Spider Queen's lair.

So, she was originally destined to become a high-ranking Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon Temple.

But an extremely outstanding man appeared, capturing her heart. She fell from a pure Holy Maiden candidate into the sea of love.

Undoubtedly, she would be punished, not only expelled from the Divine Dragon Temple but also from her family.

Thus, her lover became her only support. But she was unrepentant, willing to give up everything for her lover. She gave up her bright future in the Divine Dragon Temple, her faith, and her family.

The wedding was approaching, and she was preparing to welcome the most beautiful and happiest moment of her life. She wanted to become the most beautiful and happiest bride.

So, she began designing her wedding dress, aiming to stun everyone and outshine all the other women at the wedding.

Finally, the wedding day arrived, the most beautiful and happiest moment of her life. All her sacrifices would be rewarded.

However, at this most beautiful and happiest moment, the wedding went awry. For some special reason, her beloved man abandoned her, either leaving during the wedding or never showing up at all.

Then, she became a laughingstock, completely losing everything.

She lost her faith, her love, her family, and her relatives.

But she had stunning beauty and superb martial arts, so she began to turn dark, becoming incredibly cruel, killing, and seeking revenge.

For some unknown reason, she had nowhere to hide in the human kingdom, so she came to the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Snake Tribe.

Perhaps because of her beauty or her martial arts, she conquered everyone in the Snake Tribe and became the female chief.

Why did she ally with Princess Zining? This was unknown, but undoubtedly, it was a purely utilitarian relationship.

Yes, the conception was very complete, with no flaws, and everything was logical.

So, what should Meng Tuoluo have been like before she became twisted?

She should have been an angel, an incredibly pure, intelligent, kind, and innocent angel.

Only such a person could become a Holy Maiden candidate of the Divine Dragon Temple.

After completely conceiving the idea, Lan Ling picked up his brush and began to draw.

Besides using his life and soul, what else was needed?

Emotion, yes, emotion.

The immense love and care had to be fully infused into the painting.

Moreover, Meng Tuoluo had to feel this love, feel Lan Ling's deep sympathy for her.

At this moment, Lan Ling was completely immersed in his conception, temporarily blocking out everyone else, pouring all his love and beauty into the portrait.

He drew very quickly and very meticulously.

If there were no accidents, this would be his most outstanding and perfect work.

Every line was filled with emotion and vitality.

Every shadow was filled with beauty and charm.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Fifteen hours passed.

Lan Ling completed his most beautiful work, then he covered the portrait with a black cloth and went to bed.

...

The next morning, before Lan Ling woke up, his mental energy immediately awoke because someone was standing in front of him.

He suddenly sat up and saw the stunning Meng Tuoluo.

Today, she was wearing a shiny purple dress with a low neckline, revealing a snow-white, alluring cleavage.

Around her neck hung a blue diamond pendant.

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

She was truly beautiful; Lan Ling had never seen such a charming dress in this world.

Undoubtedly, this was also designed by Meng Tuoluo, one of the dresses she had prepared for the wedding, and one she was particularly proud of.

This woman had extremely outstanding artistic talent.

Seeing Lan Ling's amazed gaze, Meng Tuoluo took a few steps, then gently turned around and asked, "How is it?"

"It steals all the light and gathers all the spirit," Lan Ling said.

Meng Tuoluo said proudly, "Do you think the wedding dress you designed can surpass mine?"

If it were just Lan Ling, he would have no confidence in surpassing this woman in artistic talent.

But he had the wedding dress, a powerful weapon, a dress born for weddings, a dress that embodied all women's beautiful fantasies.

"Your dress is very good, but the wedding dress I designed will completely outshine yours," Lan Ling said.

Instantly, Meng Tuoluo's competitive spirit was aroused. She believed that there were very few people in the world who could surpass her in artistic talent.

Zining was strong, but in artistic talent, she was not as good as herself. Her works lacked imagination and spirit.

As for this Soren, although he had some talent, it was very shallow and superficial. Could his designed dress surpass hers? Could his artistic and aesthetic skills surpass hers? It was completely impossible.

Instantly, Meng Tuoluo sneered in contempt, completely disbelieving.

Lan Ling walked to the portrait. His appearance was not good; he had worked hard all night and had slept for less than five hours, so his eyes were red, and his hair was disheveled.

Holding the black cloth covering the drawing board, Lan Ling asked, "Are you ready? Are you ready to welcome the most beautiful wedding dress in the world?"

Meng Tuoluo shrugged, a look of disdain on her lips, a sign of her confidence and contempt in the art world.

What artistic talent could these men have? What good clothes could they design? Nothing more than a lot of superficiality, complex patterns, gold and silver threads, and so on.

How could it surpass the Shadow Crystal Dress she designed?

"Uncover it," Meng Tuoluo said.

Lan Ling suddenly pulled off the black cloth.

Instantly, a stunning angel, a pure angel, an angel embodying all innocence and beauty, appeared before Meng Tuoluo.

Wearing a snow-white wedding dress, it seemed to gather all the beauty and dreams in the world.

Instantly, Meng Tuoluo was completely stunned.
