Chapter 1167: Chapter 844: Entanglement

Shen Tang clearly didn’t notice a certain snake’s little movements and was still immersed in her thoughts. "I remembered that sculpture in the Divine Hall I met in the Illusion Realm. It gave me a very strange feeling... It said it had been waiting for me for a long time, as if it knew me."

"But I’ve never seen it before, and there’s no way I’d know it! If that was just an illusion conjured up to deceive me... then why did that thing feel so special to me, in a way I can’t even explain..."

Thinking back on how she’d felt at the time, Shen Tang only felt her mood was a little chaotic.

That statue made her feel a faint, indescribable intimacy, yet at the same time instinctively made her resist and reject it, as if it were something terrifying, something that would taint her with misfortune the moment she got close.

Xue Yinzhou said, "In that Illusion Realm, I sensed the power of the Ancient Divine Clan."

Shen Tang was surprised. "The Ancient Divine Clan?"

Xue Yinzhou nodded. "Mm, the Ancient Divine Clan are those most ancient and powerful Divine Beast clans born in the legendary Origin Land."

"Among the ones you and I are familiar with, the Ancient Clan Families on Eris Star headed by the Heavenly Fox Clan and the White Tiger Clan, as well as the Hunting Leopard Clan, the Ghost Snake Clan, the Mermaid Clan, and the Golden-winged Roc clan, are all descendants left behind by the original Ancient Divine Clan."

His voice paused for a moment, tinged with a faint, chilling mockery. "Unfortunately, after the Origin Land shattered, the Ancient Divine Clan were split across different fragment worlds. After many years of reproduction and proliferation, most Ancient Divine Clan bloodlines have been diluted, and many Ancient Divine clans have even declined and vanished; their descendants are no different from ordinary Beast Clan anymore."

"That mysterious power that appeared in the Illusion Realm was an extremely pure Ancient Divine Clan power, carrying a rich, primordial aura."

As Xue Yinzhou spoke, his expression grew a bit grave. Even though it was only a remnant of power in the Illusion Realm that day, it was enough to make him feel wary, and he couldn’t help imagining just how glorious and mighty the original Ancient Divine Clan must have been.

Shen Tang’s expression also grew serious. "You mean the power I saw in the Illusion Realm very likely came from the original Origin Land?"

Xue Yinzhou said, "No one knows the truth of ancient times, but I suspect that after the Origin Land shattered into countless fragment worlds, a portion of the most core region might have been preserved, where the original Ancient Divine Clan still exist."

Shen Tang remembered she still had a Universal Pass Card. According to the Star Lord, this card could connect to all realms; there should be information about all realms recorded within the Universal Pass Card!

After Shen Tang opened the Pass Card, a vast sea of stars unfolded before her eyes. This was the Star Sea Map simulated by the Pass Card.

She stood alone within the star sea, surrounded by countless floating stars.

Each star was a world. Most of the stars were dim, and only a few closest to her were shining.

The System explained, [These few shining world-stars are worlds the Host has set foot in before, and also the travel locations the Host has successfully unlocked. The Host can use the Universal Pass Card to traverse them at will.]

"I can’t go to the other worlds?"

[That’s right, Host. Those world-stars that are still gray are travel locations the Host has yet to unlock.] the System explained. [As long as the Host has successfully reached them once, you can travel normally! Of course, the Host can also use world points to directly unlock them. The amount of points consumed differs depending on the scale of the world.]

"If I want to go to the Origin Land, how many points do I need?"

[The destination the Host mentioned currently belongs to an unknown region not yet unlocked by the System and cannot be directly unlocked with points.] The System said, [The Star Domain the Host is currently seeing is only the tip of the iceberg of the myriad worlds. Only after unlocking all the worlds in the current region can the next stage of Star Domains be unlocked.]

Looking at the innumerable world-stars before her, Shen Tang was utterly speechless. "System, you’ve changed. Did you collude with the Star Lord? Even if you’re making me work as a black laborer for ten lifetimes, I still won’t be able to unlock all this!"

[Hehe, Host, don’t lose heart. In the future the System will issue higher-tier missions. The Host will be able to obtain more world points and more advanced System items, and might even encounter other opportunities!]

Fuming, Shen Tang shut down the System and withdrew from the Star Sea Map. "Yin Zhou, there’s something I want to tell you. It’s about the Origin Land..."

Shen Tang had originally wanted to say that perhaps they could make another trip to the Divine Hall to see if there were any clues left there; maybe they could find more secrets about the Origin Land.

But when she lifted her head to look at the man, she met his pair of deep, narrow purple phoenix eyes. Those splendid purple eyes were like a vortex, drawing her very soul into them, and for a moment she actually forgot what she had wanted to say.

Xue Yinzhou’s gaze rested deeply on Shen Tang, yet his expression hid a faint, almost imperceptible sense of vulnerability, like a little beast afraid of being abandoned, afraid that one day he would lose her again.

If in the Illusion Realm he hadn’t awakened in time and failed to complete his metamorphosis... he didn’t dare imagine the consequences of losing her.

Xue Yinzhou’s power was very strong now, but he still felt it was far from enough.

By nature, he was someone severely lacking in any sense of security, and at this moment he was in urgent need of solace. He wanted to feel her more deeply, to feel her presence, so that he could soothe his restless heart.

The silver-white tail of the snake coiled around the female’s body and wanted to wind more tightly around her, probing further.

Only then did Shen Tang belatedly realize that the cool, slick tail had slid beneath her dress, lifting her thigh and rubbing against her soft skin, gently stroking and gliding.

Only a layer of fabric separated them, yet she could feel everything so clearly.

Shen Tang’s pretty cheeks flushed a rapid crimson. She let out a soft hum, the words she hadn’t yet spoken turning into a seductive, trembling sound. "Nn... Yin Zhou!"

Her slender white fingers suddenly clenched the lapels of the man’s robe, wrinkling them in layers. She buried her face even deeper into his chest, letting out faint, powerless moans, as if both delighted and unable to bear this kind of stimulation.

Feeling the female’s exquisite responses, Xue Yinzhou’s gaze grew ever darker.

His long, jade-like fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him. His usually cool, low voice turned hoarse. "Do you like me doing this to you?"

"Do I make you feel good?"

His deep, magnetic voice carried a faint bewitching lilt.

When Shen Li did this sort of thing, he also liked to deliberately ask those questions to tease Shen Tang. But unlike Shen Li, Xue Yinzhou was not someone who enjoyed verbal teasing. He truly wanted to know the female’s genuine thoughts—whether he had pleased her, whether he had made her feel joy and delight.

Being able to give his beloved partner a better experience brought Xue Yinzhou a strong sense of accomplishment and made him feel all the more satisfied.

Shen Tang, her face flushed scarlet, leaned against his ear and whispered softly, "I like it..."

A rosy flush also spread across Xue Yinzhou’s cool, jade-pale face, and a faint smile surfaced in his eyes.

He lowered his head and kissed her rosy, sweet lips.

Endless longing flowed between their lips and teeth, steeped in deep infatuation and love.

"Tangtang, I missed you so much."

"It’s just us here, no one to disturb us. Let’s stay here a few days, all right... I want you to keep me company, just me."

"I want you. Will you give yourself to me?"

He asked her over and over, seeming so gentle and considerate, yet in truth not giving her any chance to refuse.

His lips and tongue shifted into the form of his true body, prying open her lips and teeth, laying siege and taking the city.

Shen Tang was entangled so fiercely by Xue Yinzhou that she couldn’t even resist, only able to let out soft whimpers.

But very soon, she was drawn by him into the sea of desire and gradually began to enjoy it.

Xue Yinzhou pressed Shen Tang down onto the bed, his long, jointed hand falling to the small of her back as he slowly peeled off her clothes, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

His beautifully shaped, thin lips traced along her collarbone, slowly kissing downward.

Those faintly cool lips kissed every inch of her body, outlining all her beauty, drunk with obsession, unwilling to miss even the slightest bit.
