Lin Yu stared at the endless stream of Supreme Bones being distributed and almost shouted on the spot, “What the hell, System! Are you serious?!”
A billion-fold critical hit? 206 Supreme Bones?!
Damn it, the human body only has 206 bones total. Are you trying to turn me into a full-body Supreme Bone Emperor?!
[Ding! Host’s current cultivation is too low. System initiating temporary adjustment!]
[Supreme Bone ×206, modified to: Supreme Nascent Bones ×206!]
[Note: Supreme Nascent Bones will grow as the host continuously cultivates Supreme Qi. Current growth progress: 0.1%.]
Lin Yu was stunned, his face darkening. Grinding his teeth, he said, “System, are you just incapable of seeing me doing well?”
Too low cultivation? Temporary adjustment? This was straight-up sabotage.
Last time, they’d agreed on giving him an adult Devouring Beast. And what did he get? A newborn cub!
He could deal with that since it was a living being. But these so-called Supreme Nascent Bones—what the hell were they supposed to be?!
Still, despite the cursing, Lin Yu was excited. “Whatever! As long as I keep cultivating Supreme Qi, the bones will eventually mature!”
And when that day comes, he’ll be covered in Supreme Bones—absolutely invincible!
Who cares about some Heavenly Emperor or whatever? They’ll be the first to taste a punch from Emperor Lin Yu!
Not far away, Gu Ling’er wasn’t paying attention to Lin Yu’s changing expressions. Hugging the Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone, she cheered excitedly, “It really is the Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone! I’m rich!”
Lin Yu wasn’t the only one familiar with the original novel—Gu Ling’er had also read the early chapters thoroughly.
She knew exactly how powerful the Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone was, but never expected Lin Yu to get it for her ahead of time!
With this bone, as long as she trained hard and avoided the original plotline, she could definitely become a future empress.
Overwhelmed by joy, Gu Ling’er couldn’t control her excitement and hugged Lin Yu, planting a kiss on his face. “Lin Yu, I love you to death!”
Lin Yu was completely dazed!
Even Su Yao froze in place, her beautiful face instantly turning cold. She looked at Lin Yu with a frosty smile. “Lin Yu, did it taste sweet?”
She couldn’t explain it herself, but the moment she saw that scene, a surge of jealousy burst forth uncontrollably—and even made her speak sarcastically without thinking.
Lin Yu shivered and thought, Crap, before squeezing out a nervous smile. “How about… you kiss me too? That’d make things fair, right?”
He then gave Gu Ling’er a sharp glare. She also realized the awkwardness and panicked a little. “Lin Yu’s right. Maybe… you should kiss him too?”
Su Yao snorted, “Childish!” and turned to leave.
Before she could finish, Lin Yu slapped a hand over her mouth.
He was on the verge of crying. “Ancestor, can you stop talking? Do you know how hard I worked for this bit of Favorability?!”
Before he finished speaking, Su Yao suddenly turned around, her eyes blazing as she stared at Lin Yu. “You know what? Gu Ling’er’s right!”
Su Yao had always been a dominant female lead—never one of those weak, timid types. Pride was in her bones.
Without hesitation, she grabbed Lin Yu by the collar and pressed her lips against his. Though her movement was a little clumsy, it was firm and unwavering.
No matter what, Lin Yu was her fiancé. Even if other women liked him, they’d need her permission first!
[Su Yao Affection Point +5!]
[Su Yao Affection Point +5!]
[Su Yao Affection Point +5!]
[Congratulations, Host! The current Affection Point from Su Yao has exceeded 20 points. Emotional Accelerator unlocked! Simply staying together will now continuously increase Emotional Value!]
[Emotional Value can be exchanged for Affection and Luck Point. After accumulating enough, hidden features will be unlocked!]
Only when the system prompt appeared did Su Yao pull back, cheeks slightly red, before walking quickly ahead.
Lin Yu stood frozen, his cheek still warm. Su Yao actually kissed me?!
He opened the system interface, eyes gleaming. Looks like Su Yao might not be as hard to win over as I thought.
After this little incident, the dynamic among the three of them became increasingly subtle.
Soon, they had finished exploring nearly the entire Secret Realm. While they hadn’t found any more immortal herbs like the Eight-Treasure Glazed Flower, their harvest was still considerable.
Su Yao looked toward the ancient pool in the deepest part of the realm. “The only place left to check is the ancient pool at the center.”
Lin Yu was cautious. The original novel didn’t mention much about this Secret Realm, and he had no idea what lay inside. A vague sense of unease loomed.
So far, he hadn’t found any clues about his parents either.
He took a deep breath. “Let’s go check it out.”
But just as they were about to move, the entire Secret Realm began to shake violently. The edges of the ancient pool collapsed, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.
Su Yao and Gu Ling’er’s expressions changed. “What’s happening?!”
The next moment, to their shock, Lin Qingdi appeared above the ancient pool.
At this point, Lin Qingdi had lost all the noble bearing of an Immortal Emperor. After being repeatedly humiliated by Lin Yu and losing more and more of his Luck Point, his transformation was complete.
He no longer resembled a Child of Destiny.
If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was the villain.
As the Ancient Eye pierced the final weak point of the ancient pool’s seal, a cracking sound rang out as the invisible formation shattered.
Lin Yu’s face turned grim. “What the hell is this guy doing?!”
“Hahahaha!”
“I, the Void Sky Demon Emperor, have finally returned!”
A thunderous laugh echoed across the sky. The ancient pool exploded, and a shadow emerged—Void Sky Demon Emperor Ye Tian had arrived!
[Ding! Detected Golden Luck Child of Destiny: Void Sky Demon Emperor Ye Tian!]
[Target: Ye Tian!]
[Golden Luck Point: !]
[System attempting to bind… Alert: Binding failed!]
[Target possesses extreme instability. Binding impossible. Host must handle this independently!]
As Ye Tian appeared, the system issued a series of red alerts.
Unlike Lin Qingdi’s arrival, this Ye Tian was clearly a dangerous figure. Even the system was in panic mode.
Lin Yu’s expression darkened. “Where did this Ye Tian come from? He wasn’t in the original plot at all!”
Especially his Luck Point—it was absurd. A full 200,000!
No… just slightly less than that.
Lin Yu hadn’t expected that his own presence would cause the story to deviate so drastically, so quickly.
At that moment, Ye Tian’s gaze swept over the group before settling on Lin Qingdi. A mocking smile curled on his lips. “So… it was you who released this emperor?”
Lin Qingdi smiled proudly, hands behind his back. “Indeed. I am the one who—”
Smack!
Ye Tian’s grin turned cold as he slapped Lin Qingdi across the face without warning. “Insect, who gave you the right to call yourself ‘Emperor’ in front of me?”
