Not long after…
The Shadow King, who had let his guard down and laughed heartily, was trapped by Yun He’s joint Skill, [Magic Binding Crystal Ball].
Only then did everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
“Phew… We’ve finally trapped the Shadow King.”
“This feels so strange. Did the Shadow King receive some kind of blow to the head?”
“Speaking of which, who is he looking for? From his tone, he seems to be the young man who was with Luo Yuan at that time?”
“Hey, there was indeed a young man who came down from Luo Yuan’s Ten Thousand Mile Cloud. He looks like…”
Some people only remembered Ling Yi now and guessed that he was the Shadow King’s target.
However, there was no point in guessing now. Even if no one provoked the Shadow King, it was impossible for both sides to live in peace if they revealed the young man’s true identity.
Then,
The players who ran out of the auction house returned one after another, and the auction resumed its previous process.
…
The sun set and night fell.
It was a little past six in the evening.
After returning from the Temple of the Earth God’s dungeon, Ling Yi first organized his main gains.
Today he had obtain the Universe’s Origin Qi, upgraded the treasure to S-grade, and learned the “Invincible Holy Shield”.
He had successfully bid for the 8 Star summoning Skill [Eternal Mark].
Besides the two main gains, there were some other small gains that were not worth mentioning.
“System, mutatate this Skill,”
[Are you—]
“I’m sure,”
After a few seconds, Ling Yi quickly opened it.
[Eternal Mark (8 Stars)]: Mark a specific summoned beast, only effective when the summoned beast is present: They would receive a 50% damage reduction, and his summoned beasts would receive a 50% stamina reduction. Their health and stamina recovery of both sides are stacked and shared.
“Everything goes accordingly to my expectations,”
Ling Yi was very satisfied with the effect of the mutated Skill.
He quickly learned the Skill and summoned the Ice Queen to complete the mark with her.
After the mark was completed, he smiled at the Ice Queen, who was sitting on the sofa with her legs closed, and said, “That’s great! I’ve received damage reduction and you’ve received stamina reduction. Our recovery is also stacked and shared!”
If they were to share their life force, the reduction in one’s life force would cause the other’s life force to decrease as well.
Now, if one party lowered the price, the other party would not lower the price, while if one party increased the price, the other party would increase the price.
It could be said that the essence was extracted and the dregs were removed!
“Yes!”
The Ice Queen responded. She was also very satisfied with the new Skill that her master had obtained.
At this moment, her long hair had been tied into a ponytail by Lin Shurou, and the tail fell to her shoulders, showing her youth.
On her snow-white cheeks, her pure white eyes were as beautiful and moving as ever.
The summer night was extremely hot and stuffy. Ling Yi held her small, fair, and tender hand tightly in his embrace. A cool and refreshing feeling instantly filled his entire body.
‘Ah~ that feels nice.’
He had just returned from the dungeon, so he just wanted to take a good rest.
He took off his shoes and sat on the sofa. He rested his head on the Ice Queen’s snow-white thighs and closed his eyes to rest.
The Ice Queen lowered her head to look at her master’s side profile. Then, she picked up an Encyclopedia and started to read it silently.
The cicadas outside the house were chirping, and the butterflies in the night were illuminated by the colorful tree Lamps. The courtyard was as beautiful as a painting.
At the same time, upstairs…
Lin Shurou, Ling ‘Er, Yunji, and Xia Wanqing, who had been playing in Holy Angels Springs, finally had enough fun. One by one, they wiped their bodies and put on their clothes.
There were drying items available, but there was a rumor among the female players that “natural wiping is better for the skin”, so they decided to stick with the more “traditional way”.
They walked out of the room with a few giggles. Just as they were about to go downstairs, they suddenly felt a bone-piercing cold!
There was even a faint gray-white cold mist in the air!
“This…”
Yunji was stunned, thinking that someone had invaded the house. Just as she was about to take action, Lin Shurou suddenly covered her mouth.
“… What!”
She looked at her in confusion.
Lin Shurou pouted at her, indicating for her to look down.
Yunji cast her gaze down and saw Ling Yi lying on the thighs of an unfamiliar blue-haired woman in the living room. He seemed to be sleeping.
Upon closer inspection, wasn’t that woman the rumored “Ice Master” in 01’s body?
“Lower your voice, he’s sleeping.” Lin Shurou said softly. Her blue eyes looked at the man below.
Her tone was gentle, but it left no room for argument.
Yunji had a feeling that if she didn’t listen to her, Shurou would immediately attack her, so she nodded very seriously.
When Lin Shurou let go, Yunji heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the wooden railing on the second floor. She looked down at the people below and asked Lin Shurou in a soft voice, “Who’s that woman down there?”
Xia Wanqing was also very curious. She walked to Lin Shurou’s other side, her eyes frequently shifting between the blue-haired woman and Lin Shurou.
“Don’t be surprised. That woman is none other than his summoned beast, the Ice Queen.”
Yunji and Xia Wanqing widened their beautiful eyes and looked at each other, which reflected both of their surprises.
They cast their gazes down, and their two beautiful jade-like faces gradually revealed expressions of disbelief.
A human form Summoned Beast!
So there were actually Summoned Beasts that took a human form in this world!?
Lin Shurou knew that their hearts were in turmoil, but she did not explain. While they were still in shock, she warned them seriously, “The Ice Queen is extremely protective of her master. It’s fine if Ling Yi is awake, but when he’s in a deep sleep, it’s best if you don’t do anything that will cause misunderstandings or make Ling Yi uncomfortable.”
“Otherwise, she will really attack you.”
Lin Shurou recalled a certain morning.
At that time, Ling Yi hadn’t woken up yet, so she went under the blanket and got busy for a while. After that, she got up, bent, and Ling Yi felt pain.
Right that moment, the Ice Queen appeared behind her.
She remembered the chill behind her back, running down her spine. When she turned around, she saw a woman with a pair of white eyes floating behind her. She mistook her for a female ghost and immediately woke Ling Yi up in fear.
With just a glance, the Ice Queen stopped her movement and sat quietly on the bed like an obedient sheep.
However, Lin Shurou did not dare to take any further actions.
Seeing that Lin Shurou was lost in her memories, Yunji and Yunji nodded cautiously.
The four of them quietly walked down and sat in their respective seats.
Ling ‘Er’s golden hair was shining as she floated in the air. Lin Shurou carefully sat beside Ling Yi’s feet. In front of the unreasonable Ice Queen, she didn’t dare to touch him.
A few hours passed in the midst of their whispers.
It was 11 o’clock at night when Ling Yi began to stir.
Ling Yi’s sensitive biological clock woke him up automatically.
He first sensed the Leader Monsters that had appeared in the main world. Seeing that there were only two of them, he could not help but sigh.
‘Two of them. So that’s 4 high-grade Night Stones for double gold. With these, it’s 85.’
‘Even if 5 Bosses appear tomorrow, I still won’t be able to gather 100 high-grade Night Stones in time.’
Ling Yi was a little troubled.
He had been hoping that more Bosses would appear in the next two days so that he could buy the Divine Artifact, “Universe Energy Core” before fighting the Beast King. This way, he would have a higher chance of winning against the level 80 Unparalleled Sword Demon.
It seemed like it was too late.
The event would end at 8 am on the 22nd, and it was already the night of the 20th.
While Ling Yi was deep in thought, Lin Shurou hugged him and rested her head on his shoulder. She asked softly, “What are you thinking about?”
“I still need a few high-grade Night Stones.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t trade you from the ones I got in the event… However, the high-grade Night Stones obtained in the main world can be traded. Perhaps you can try it with Nangong Li? The Bosses in our city were either killed by you or her, so she should have some with her.”
“Oh, right!”
Ling Yi had never thought about this before. Now that Lin Shurou had mentioned it, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He gave her a big kiss on her alluring lips and immediately rushed out of the door excitedly.
