Underground.
Ye Wangchuan and Liu Han finished reading the diary.
Liu Han's emotions were in turmoil for a long time.
An ordinary person, alone in a strange cave for five hundred years.
He didn't know how desperate he must have felt after painstakingly cultivating for a hundred years to reach the third level, only to find no exit.
He didn't know how heartbroken he must have been when the first snake that accompanied him passed away.
Just as Liu Han was overwhelmed with emotions.
Ye Wangchuan, expressionless, walked up to the corpse and tried to pull out the Frostbone Sword from the ground.
He pulled with all his might, but the Frostbone Sword didn't budge an inch.
Ye Wangchuan could feel the sword continuously rejecting him.
If he forced it out, the sword would likely self-destruct on the spot.
After a moment of thought, Ye Wangchuan reached into his thick coat and pulled out Li Luo, saying,
"Li Luo, try pulling out this sword."
"Wah! It's so cold!"
As soon as she left the warmth of Ye Wangchuan's coat, Li Luo started shivering uncontrollably.
Without a second thought, she grabbed the sword with her small hand and effortlessly pulled it out.
Seeing this, Ye Wangchuan felt a hint of joy in his heart.
What nonsense about only the pure and righteous being able to use it!
It's clearly reserved for the Child of Destiny!
He didn't think someone like Li Luo, who kicked Tang San to death and stabbed Su Fugui into a cripple, could be considered pure and righteous.
Li Luo was clearly a self-serving opportunist, always choosing what benefited her the most!
Ye Wangchuan quickly took out a spatial ring, took the Frostbone Sword from Li Luo, and stored it inside.
He planned to have the Ye family's artifact refinement elders forcibly remove the restrictions within the sword after they left, so he could wield it for himself.
With that settled, Ye Wangchuan stuffed Li Luo back into his coat and went to retrieve the heart from the skeleton's left hand.
As he did so, he said,
"Liu Han, the resentment in this heart is too strong. I'll take it first to avoid harming you!"
"And as for that sword, Li Luo, acting like a child, insisted on having it, so I took it too."
"As for this book, I'll give it to you!"
Beside them.
Liu Han nodded at Ye Wangchuan's words and said,
"Brother Ye, you saved my life. It's only right that you take these things first. Sister Li Luo's talismans were also of great help, so I have no objections to her taking the sword."
After saying this, Liu Han scratched his head awkwardly and added,
"It's just... could you help me get out of the cave? I don't have any cultivation, so I can't climb out."
On the spot.
Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo, who had poked her head out of his collar, stared at Liu Han in disbelief.
This guy...
Is he a bit too naive?
……
……
Soon.
Ye Wangchuan brought Li Luo and Liu Han to the exit.
Normally, someone at the second level of cultivation wouldn't be able to climb out of such a deep pit.
However, the person who left the inheritance had dug a path leading upward to prevent anyone else from being trapped underground.
Though half of the path had crumbled due to the passage of time.
Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan's spatial ring contained dozens of hundred-meter-long tree trunks he had previously cut down.
He used these logs to stack them vertically and forcefully climbed out.
At the cave entrance.
"Brother Ye, let's part ways here!"
"My strength is too weak, and I might hold you back. So, I plan to head to the border of the cave realm instead of joining the central conflict."
"Good luck."
After saying this, Liu Han turned and left.
Ye Wangchuan didn't stop him.
After all, he had already obtained the opportunities he needed.
Compared to heading to the border, Ye Wangchuan had more important matters to attend to.
Huff.
A heart emitting cold air and still beating was taken out by Ye Wangchuan.
The moment the heart appeared, the temperature within a hundred meters plummeted, and the cold began to spread rapidly outward.
At that moment, Ye Wangchuan realized something.
The vast snowy plain spanning tens of thousands of meters underground was entirely caused by this small heart!
A fourth-level powerhouse, even with just a single relic, could influence the surroundings for tens of thousands of meters, blanketing it in perpetual snow.
Ye Wangchuan examined the heart from left to right.
The heart was beating vigorously, showing no signs of poison or curses within.
However, a thick, almost tangible aura of malevolence continuously emanated from the heart.
Clearly, this was the loneliness, pain, resentment, and anger accumulated by the inheritance seeker during his five hundred years in the cave realm.
"Li Luo, keep an eye on our surroundings."
Ye Wangchuan casually instructed Li Luo.
Li Luo nodded and began picking flowers and fruits nearby.
"Huff—"
Ye Wangchuan took a deep breath.
Then, he carefully refined the heart.
After refining it.
Waves of emotions began to surge within Ye Wangchuan's heart.
It was as if he himself had been trapped in the cave realm for five hundred years.
Loneliness, pain, solitude...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Anger, helplessness, resentment...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Huh...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Ye Wangchuan stood expressionless, unaffected by the emotional turmoil in his heart, his rational thoughts remaining clear.
Once the negative emotions were fully digested, Ye Wangchuan suddenly felt a change within his body.
To confirm what had changed, Ye Wangchuan opened his palm and began releasing spiritual energy.
He then discovered that, as if by instinct, he could now manipulate ordinary spiritual energy or Frostbane spiritual energy laced with a faint chill.
Although the Frostbane spiritual energy wasn't pure and was filled with malevolence, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Using malevolent energy to attack enemies could also inflict mental damage.
Not only that, but the heart also contained a vast amount of cultivation energy, directly pushing Ye Wangchuan's cultivation to the mid-second level! Additionally, his body seemed to have become more resistant to cold.
Ye Wangchuan immediately took out a spear and infused it with spiritual energy.
The entire spear instantly became covered in frost, as if it had been left in a freezer for a week.
He aimed at a river and hurled the spear with explosive force!
Boom!
The spear slammed into the river, first dispersing the water in all directions around the point of impact!
Incidentally, it also killed a bunch of fish.
Then, a burst of cold energy erupted, instantly freezing the river within a fifty-meter radius and continuing to spread!
Incidentally, it also froze a bunch of fish.
The river looked as if a giant ice lotus had bloomed on its surface!
"Wow, is this the kind of opportunity the Child of Destiny gets? A special physique just handed to you?"
Ye Wangchuan couldn't help but marvel.
This time, it was fortunate that he had seized Liu Han's opportunity.
Otherwise, with the Frostbone Sword and the ability to manipulate Frostbane spiritual energy, Liu Han would have become unimaginably powerful.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
