Chapter 2203 - 2192: Soul Contract

Lin Zifeng thought it over and explained for a while. After listening, Mu Ruoyun’s delicate face showed a bit of concern: "Yesterday when you escaped from the wasteland, I felt a powerful force behind us, which lingered for a long time before dissipating."

"I think... that should be the Five Supreme Venerables you mentioned. This matter is definitely not that simple. Lin Zifeng, you need to be careful."

Being concerned by a beautiful woman is enjoyable for any man, and Lin Zifeng was no exception. He smiled gently, nodding his head and giving Mu Ruoyun a reassuring look, and continued: "Don’t worry, no matter how powerful the Five Supreme Venerables are, aren’t you here with me."

"By the way, aside from cutting off the Heart Demon, are there any other benefits? After all, you’ve awakened from your slumber, hehe..."

Lin Zifeng had a face of embarrassment, feeling a bit awkward as he spoke. Coming here today, he had already gained many benefits, but Mu Ruoyun didn’t mind Lin Zifeng’s greed at all. She raised her jade-like finger, and with a swift motion, a golden light appeared and floated towards the center of Lin Zifeng’s forehead.

"What... what is this? My head hurts so much!"

The golden light entered Lin Zifeng’s mind, transforming into countless ancient and mysterious golden characters. Lin Zifeng felt as if his head was about to burst, and he couldn’t help but clutch it, crying out in pain.

"Those are some battle skills created by Lord Mu En. Don’t worry, with your current Realm, you can definitely use them, and their power is quite impressive."

Despite the pain, Lin Zifeng’s face revealed a trace of joy upon hearing this. Battle skills created by the Beast God himself — how strong must they be!

Soon, countless ancient characters integrated into Lin Zifeng’s entire meridians, the pain disappeared, and he couldn’t wait to try their power.

But Mu Ruoyun saw through his thoughts and hurriedly stopped him: "Wait until you face an enemy to use them. The time flow here is much slower than outside, and it should be deep night in the Beiyao Ancient Clan now."

Lin Zifeng was startled when he heard this, realizing that although he had been conversing with Mu Ruoyun for just a few hours, a day had passed outside.

Thinking of the urgency of the sacrificial ceremony, Lin Zifeng planned to let Mu Ruoyun send him out. However, Mu Ruoyun’s delicate face turned serious, showing a bit of reluctance, and her tone softened considerably: "Remember what I just said, keep it in your heart and never forget."

"Since I’ve acknowledged you, I’ll definitely do my best to help you in the future. You must also become stronger quickly. Some secrets are already pressing."

Lin Zifeng could hear the concern in Mu Ruoyun’s words, and his heart felt incredibly warm, blessed to have such a girl beside him, accompanying and protecting him.

Grasping Mu Ruoyun’s jade-like hand, Lin Zifeng smiled lightly: "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t disappoint you."

After talking for a while longer, Mu Ruoyun reluctantly conjured a wooden door covered in golden light, and Lin Zifeng sighed deeply, turning around slowly to walk towards the Golden Gate.

Standing behind him, Mu Ruoyun watched Lin Zifeng’s slightly thin figure appear majestic under the golden light, and couldn’t help but be amazed.

This guy... why do I see Lord Mu En’s shadow in him?

"Hey, I’ll call you Ruoyun from now on. Hmm, if you don’t mind, you can call me Lord Zifeng, hehe..."

Mu Ruoyun was startled by Lin Zifeng’s teasing words, seeing his playful smile under the glow of the golden light, appearing extraordinarily suave. Without saying anything more, Lin Zifeng suddenly fell backward into the Golden Gate...

"Whew... is this Dongka’s room?"

Opening his eyes, what greeted Lin Zifeng was the dimly lit stone slab illuminated by candlelight. Rubbing his forehead, Lin Zifeng slowly sat up.

"Crack!"

To his surprise, as soon as he sat up, piercing popping sounds echoed from within his bones.

Slightly clenching his fists, Lin Zifeng’s veined fists contained a power similar to breaking through bamboo.

"It seems Ruoyun secretly helped me a lot." Speaking to himself, Lin Zifeng’s keen hearing detected the sound of footsteps approaching his room.

"Creak..."

The wooden door opened, and Dongfang Ziyue’s delicate face was filled with undisguised anxiety and concern. Seeing Lin Zifeng sitting there with a smile, her expression sank and she said coldly: "Do you know you’ve been sleeping for a day?"

Sleeping? Is that what you’d call it? Clearly, I experienced a kind of wonder.

However, Lin Zifeng was so happy that he didn’t mind Dongfang Ziyue’s coldness, and instead asked: "Where’s your master? I remember he won’t wake up until a day later, yet I don’t see him."

Leaning against the wooden door, Dongfang Ziyue explained: "Master’s injuries are better than expected. He awoke in the afternoon. If you’re alright, get up quickly; there’s urgent business to discuss."

Aware of the urgency of the sacrificial event, Lin Zifeng was about to rise when he realized he was unclothed, chuckled awkwardly. Dongfang Ziyue snorted coldly before slowly walking out of the room.

Except for Lin Zifeng, the room was empty. He suddenly rolled and stood up but found himself drenched in sweat. Just as he was about to find clothes from the cabinet, a uniquely female scream made him jump and nearly fall over.

"Ah... You, you, shameless!"

Listening to the voice, Lin Zifeng glanced around, seeing no one beside him, and then realized that the voice belonged to Mu Ruoyun!

"You... can sense I’m not wearing clothes? And communicate with me?"

Lin Zifeng stood stark naked, bewildered, and asked.

"Is this really the time to ask that? Quickly put some clothes on!"

Sensing the anger in Mu Ruoyun’s voice, Lin Zifeng clicked his tongue silently and hurriedly found a white robe from the cabinet to put on.

"Alright... Can you now explain to me why you can communicate with me?"

After a few cold sighs, Mu Ruoyun reluctantly began to explain: "Because I’ve merged with you, I can naturally sense the changes in your body."

"As for communication, during the Illusion Realm, you signed a Soul Contract with me, so now only you can hear my words."

Listening to this, Lin Zifeng felt relieved, though a bit uncomfortable as he realized that in the future during baths and other times...

"Uh, Ruoyun, in the future I..."

Before finishing his thought, Mu Ruoyun quickly said: "I can pretend I didn’t see anything."

Detecting the shyness in Mu Ruoyun’s words, Lin Zifeng secretly chuckled. If Mu Ruoyun stood in front of him now, her face would definitely be blushing.

Haha, bathing must be so naughty, she probably wouldn’t be used to it either.
