Inside the Divine Temple Ruin, in the palace hall…
The coffin was opened, its lid hovering. The phantom of a huge beast stood atop the coffin, its head touching the sky and feet on the ground. Its eyes were like the Sun and Moon, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
It was just a phantom, standing there doing nothing, yet the surrounding space undulated like a liquid lake surface. Ripples continuously spread outwards from it as the centre.
At the entrance, the bodies of Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan were almost shattered by this beast’s aura.
Although unconscious, their bones were being compressed, making a teeth-clenching sound as if they might be crushed at any moment.
Both of their bodies had many horrifying wounds, with blood profusely flowing out.
If this continued, they would lose their lives soon enough!
*Clink…* Due to this compression, the bright pearl Qin Yichen was clutching fell to the ground. It rolled and made a series of crisp sounds.
The phantom giant beast, as if sentient, immediately fixed its gaze on the fallen pearl. Its Moon-like eyes flickered, alternating between the pearl and the nearly unconscious Qin Yichen.
It seemed to be pondering over something.
The immense aura gradually diminished. Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan fell to the ground, still unconscious.
With a thought from the giant beast, Qin Yichen’s body slowly floated up towards it.
Its gaze was piercing, as if able to see through everything. It scrutinised Qin Yichen’s body up and down, finally stopping at his Dantian. Suddenly, its pupils dilated significantly, even showing an expression of disbelief.
“No wonder, no wonder…” The giant beast murmured, seeming to understand why the pearl was in Qin Yichen’s possession. Looking at Qin Yichen’s weak body, its eyes showed a hint of passionate sincerity. It slowly prostrated itself before Qin Yichen’s floating body, murmuring, “The prosperity of our race will be entrusted to you, sir… Please, let me give sir a welcoming gift!”
After speaking, it seemed to think of something and blew out a breath. This breath enveloped both Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan.
The air flow was like water, washing over their bodies again and again. Their wounds, broken bones, and damaged organs began to heal at a visible speed under the nourishment of this breath. After healing, the strength of their muscles and the toughness of their bones had exponentially increased.
“Heaven and Earth bear witness, with the future fate of our race as an oath, I borrow your Yang Essence for my rebirth and recognize you as Master, and follow you for life!” The giant beast’s voice was low and awe-inspiring. Obscure and difficult to understand words came from its mouth, like burning sounds echoing throughout the entire hall.
“Contract, formed!” Finally, with a deep shout from the giant beast, a strange Symbol condensed. Then, a drop of pure red blood slowly floated up from inside the coffin and merged into this Symbol.
*Hum…* With the infusion of that drop of blood, the Symbol trembled slightly, its light shining brightly, then fell towards Qin Yichen and entered his forehead.
If he were awake now, he would certainly recognize that the Symbol represented the ancient Contract of Rebirth through borrowing the Yang Essence of another.
The so-called Yang Essence refers to the vital essence of the Human body.
*Rip!* Under the giant beast’s control, the clothes of the two within the air flow fell off like butterflies. Their bodies were exposed to each other, then almost unconsciously joined together.
Soon after, sounds of intimacy could be heard from within…
“Heaven bless our race!” The giant beast murmured, its huge body dispersing into points of light.
A galaxy-like radiance flew up from inside the coffin and entered the point where the two bodies were joined within the air.
This scene lasted for three days and three nights before the light in the coffin finally dimmed.
The bodies of Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan, seemingly without any support, fell to the ground.
After an unknown period, Qin Yichen opened his eyes. The scene before him made his nose bleed profusely, almost unable to control himself.
The woman’s whole jade-like body was exposed, her skin as white as snow and glowing softly. The fullness of her chest and the roundness of her hips were flawless.
Her beauty was extraordinary, with charm comparable to the greatest beauties, and the grace that dimmed the Moon and shamed the flowers. Combined with her subtle noble air, she had a captivating presence.
Just as Qin Yichen was gazing with relish, the woman opposite him opened her eyes, their gazes meeting.
“Ah…!” In the next instant, a sky-piercing scream came from the woman’s mouth.
“I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything…” Qin Yichen turned away in panic, only to realise that he too was naked, which puzzled him. [What happened after we lost consciousness?]
“I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!” A cold shout came from behind. Qin Yichen scrambled up and ran for his life, not daring to stop for a moment.
While running, Qin Yichen was surprised to find that his Physique and strength had greatly improved. In terms of Physique, he believed that even many Martial Grandmasters would not match him.
This made him even more curious about what had happened while he was unconscious.
When he looked towards the coffin, his eyes narrowed.
Now, the coffin lid had fallen to one side, and the coffin was empty. Beneath it, that powerful energy fluctuation had also disappeared without a trace.
[That was energy capable of overturning the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty! How could it just vanish into thin air!?] Qin Yichen stopped in front of the coffin, looking at everything inside, frowning and silent.
Lu Linghan rushed over and quickly noticed this anomaly.
She pointed her soft sword at Qin Yichen and coldly stated, “Hand over the treasure!”
She had not obtained the treasure, and since it was missing, there was no doubt in her mind that the man in front of her must have taken it!
“This Sister, be reasonable. In my current state, even if I had the treasure, where could I possibly hide it?”
Qin Yichen rolled his eyes at her, exasperated.
It was at this moment that Lu Linghan seemed to realise that the fellow in front of her was also naked… In an instant, her face turned red enough to put tomatoes to shame, and she quickly turned away.
“You, put on some clothes immediately, or I’ll kill you!” She screamed out.
As a Princess, she had never encountered such a situation, nor had anyone dared to be so disrespectful in front of her. Facing this situation now, her panic was understandable. No matter how cold or calm, she was still a woman after all.
“Where am I supposed to find clothes…” As he was speaking, Qin Yichen noticed that at the bottom of the coffin, there seemed to be a set of clothing. He reached out and took it, and then his expression became even more peculiar.
Because it was a set of women’s clothes.
He could not help but tear up, then obediently threw the clothes to Lu Linghan, who had hidden behind the coffin.
Qin Yichen was quite lucky that his bag was not damaged, and the jade bottle inside was not broken either. Otherwise, he might have cried to death.
Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk!
That was something that could be encountered but not sought.
Soon, he found a set of clothes in his bag and quickly put them on, finally resolving the awkward situation.
