The four characters “Ultimate Inheritance” on the statue’s forehead glowed brightly, dazzling and resplendent.
“I knew it. Breaking the formation would definitely lead to a huge reward,” Master Longbrow said, rushing toward the statue to claim the ultimate inheritance.
However, at that moment, the statue trembled violently.
A square pool emerged from the ground in front of it.
Master Longbrow stopped in his tracks and peered into the pool.
It was about four meters long and three meters wide, filled with pitch-black liquid, like thick ink.
“What is this?” Master Longbrow wondered.
Suddenly, the black liquid in the pool began to churn, as if boiling water.
A strong, bloody stench wafted from the pool, making them feel nauseous.
“Blood?” Master Longbrow gaped, glancing at the statue. Its pointing hand was directed at the pool.
Moreover, the four characters “Ultimate Inheritance” left the statue’s forehead and floated above the pool.
“Could this pool of blood be the ultimate inheritance?” Master Longbrow shouted to Ye Qiu, “Little brat, get over here.”
Ye Qiu was already behind him.
“What?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Is it human blood?” Master Longbrow asked.
Ye Qiu studied the pool and said, “It doesn’t seem like human blood.”
“Beast blood, then?” Master Longbrow pressed.
“Can’t tell yet,” Ye Qiu replied.
“Whatever, I’ll take a chance,” Master Longbrow said, preparing to jump into the pool.
But as he approached, an invisible, terrifying pressure appeared.
Boom!
Master Longbrow was blasted back, landing in a dusty heap.
Ye Qiu, astonished, stared at the pool and quietly activated his Heavenly Eye.
The next moment, he saw every drop of blood in the pool shimmering with radiant divine light, full of spiritual charm, like grains of gold, nearly blinding him.
Ye Qiu quickly withdrew his gaze, utterly shocked.
“What kind of blood is this, so full of divinity?”
He took a few steps toward the pool.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a powerful pressure surged, striking at him.
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu summoned a Qiankun Cauldron to block it.
It was useless.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu was sent flying, landing beside Master Longbrow.
“Little brat, what’s going on? How did you get blasted back too?” Master Longbrow asked.
“No idea,” Ye Qiu said, quickly getting up and approaching the pool again.
This time, before he got close, something unexpected happened.
“Buzz!”
The statue trembled slightly, and a terrifying pressure spread. A white light, like a protective shield, enveloped the pool.
“What’s the tomb owner’s deal?”
“He left this inheritance for posterity to claim, didn’t he?”
“Why make it so complicated?”
Master Longbrow, annoyed, pulled out the black brick, channeled his true qi, and hurled it at the white light.
“Bang!”
The brick struck the light, which didn’t budge. Instead, a powerful force sent the brick flying back.
Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate either, summoning a Qiankun Cauldron and striking the light.
After all, this was a sage’s ultimate inheritance. How could he not be tempted?
Boom—
The cauldron hit the light and was repelled. The light remained intact.
“Brute force won’t work,” Master Longbrow fumed. “I bet the tomb owner was crazy. If he hadn’t done this, I’d have the ultimate inheritance by now.”
Ye Qiu studied the light for a moment and said, “Maybe the tomb owner set this up to find the destined one.”
As he spoke, nine characters appeared on the white light.
“Ultimate Inheritance, bestowed upon the destined one!”
Destined one?
Destined, my foot!
Master Longbrow scoffed at the words. “Dead and gone, yet still fussing about destiny. Isn’t that just pretentious?”
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly. Based on the sage’s words, he and Master Longbrow likely had no chance at the ultimate inheritance.
“Green, you try,” Ye Qiu said.
Green had obtained the God-Slaying Bow, clearly fated with this tomb. Could she claim the ultimate inheritance?
“Young Master Ye, can I do it?” Green asked nervously.
“Believe in yourself,” Ye Qiu encouraged. “You got the God-Slaying Bow, so you’re clearly destined for this tomb.”
Green hesitated.
Ye Qiu added, “If you get the ultimate inheritance, I’ll grant you one request, anything you want.”
“Really?” Green was overjoyed. “Young Master Ye, you won’t trick me, will you?”
“I promise I won’t.”
“Then I’ll try.”
Green stepped toward the pool.
Ye Qiu glanced at Fairy Hundred Flowers, who shot him a resentful look, as if saying, “I don’t mind Green being with you, but saying this in front of me, do you even care about me?”
What, feeling bold after sleeping with me?
Ye Qiu understood her thoughts. He quietly moved to her side and slipped an arm around her waist.
Fairy Hundred Flowers, thin-skinned, quickly pushed his hand away.
“Slap!”
Ye Qiu gave her a playful pat below the waist, making her tremble, her face flushing red.
“What’s that sound?” Master Longbrow, standing ahead, heard the noise and turned back.
“I swatted a mosquito,” Ye Qiu said. “A big one.”
Fairy Hundred Flowers lowered her head, thinking, what does he mean?
Doesn’t he like big ones?
Don’t they say bigger is better for bearing children?
And Wan-jie’s are pretty big too…
As her thoughts wandered, Ye Qiu’s hand mischievously pinched her waist again. Panicked, she grabbed his hand, pleading with her eyes for him to stop.
Using a secret voice transmission, Ye Qiu whispered in her ear, “So big, so soft, I love it.”
Fairy Hundred Flowers had never heard such bold words. Her body went weak, her heart pounding wildly. If they weren’t in public, she’d have let loose.
This man was too good at this!
Little did she know, under Lin Jingzhi’s long tutelage, Ye Qiu had developed his own theories on winning a woman’s heart. For a jealous type like Bai Bing, sweet words were enough. For a mature woman like Qin Wan, providing security sufficed. As for Lin Jingzhi, it required…
Exceptional skill.
Superb technique!
As for Fairy Hundred Flowers, she seemed proper but burned like fire inside. Bold, direct words struck her heart most effectively.
While Ye Qiu and Fairy Hundred Flowers were lost in their flirtation, Green’s startled cry rang out, “Ah—”
