Chapter 142: Taiyin Bone Bug (Part Three)
Ice Crystals.
Dense clusters of ice crystals began to appear on Lu Ye’s body.
Lu Ye frowned tightly.
A wave of intense pain hit him, but it was just pain, nothing more.
This pain was nowhere near as intense as the Primordial Morning Mist.
Inside his ethereal dantian, the space slightly blurred, and a translucent bug egg quietly appeared. Just the emergence of that egg nearly sent Lu Ye over the edge.
Thankfully, thankfully.
It was just the Taiyin Bone Bug.
Lu Ye felt relieved; this thing was a supreme being that existed in the Taiyin realm, possessing a seriously impressive status, part of the Taiyin Sun.
If this thing appeared while crossing tribulation…
It would crazily absorb the Chaos Yin Power that Lu Ye had obtained from his Master over the years.
In short, it could drastically drop Lu Ye’s strength and throw him into extreme chaos, killing him would be a walk in the park.
Because during the early stages of his growth, Lu Ye could only resist the Chaos Yin Power with his life fire and the dangers of falling cultivation.
Later, as the Great Yin Transformation Scripture began to show its roots, Lu Ye finally transitioned from losing to gaining.
The Chaos Yin Power was continuously refined by him.
This power gave Lu Ye a significant boost during the later stages.
Bai Qiulan being one of the top figures among the girls wasn’t without reason.
For one, her identity.
For two, Lu Ye liked to seek her help because she not only could assist him but also had a great chest!
For three, Bai Qiulan had a gentle personality.
But right now… Lu Ye had never absorbed a shred of Chaos Yin Power, and the Taiyin Bone Bug couldn’t even break out of its egg—just cold, pure cold.
Without the nurturing of Chaos Yin Power, the Taiyin Bone Bug might as well have used a hammer to break out of its egg.
Crossing Tribulation, first stage!
Lu Ye looked up, feeling an overwhelming heavenly might, as if a sharp sword was hovering above his head, ready to drop at any moment.
At the same time, his emotions began to get agitated.
Scenes from the past kept flashing uncontrollably in his mind.
In an ocean of flowers.
Yue Hongling lay in the blossoms, sprawled on Lu Ye’s lap, gazing at him with adoration.
“Senior Brother, if there were only the two of us in this world, I would wish for this moment to become eternal!”
“What about Master?”
Yue Hongling thought for a moment, her face breaking into a silly grin.
“Then let Master join us, the three of us can be eternal.”
“Alright, let’s be eternal!”
“Senior Brother, I love you so much…”
The two embraced and kissed amid the sea of flowers.
…
“Lu Ye, I’ve found my Dao! Can you guess what it is?”
Shangguan Huanling came bouncing over, her face full of surprise.
“What Dao?”
“Hehehe, the Emotion Dao! Lu Ye, you are my Dao!”
“Wow wow wow, so sweet, Emotion Dao, Emotion Dao, hahaha…”
…
“Lu Ye, hurry down, you’ll freeze to death!”
“Master, I’m not afraid, I won’t freeze, I can save you!”
“No, no!”
Her feeble hands tried to push Lu Ye away.
“Master, I won’t die, believe me, I absolutely won’t die. If I die, there’ll be no one to help you detox, even if it’s to help Master, I won’t die!”
Bai Qiulan was in tears.
“Ye’er, don’t call me Master anymore, call me by my name, Bai Qiulan!”
“Lu Ye, you must remember, I like you. No matter what happens, I will always like you.”
Lu Ye stood there dumbfounded.
Memories of sweet moments kept surfacing in his mind.
…
The images in his memory suddenly shifted.
“Lu Ye, I am your Master, not your Dao Companion. From this day forth, you absolutely cannot set foot in my room. We only share a teacher-student bond, and nothing more!”
“Qiulan…”
“Call me Master!”
“But you said before that you liked me.”
“That was just nonsense while I was poisoned, Lu Ye, I wasn’t joking. You don’t need to keep that silly grin; there’s a line between teachers and students. Now that I am no longer suffering from Chaos Yin Poison, we should correct our mistakes!”
…
“Lu Ye, do you find everything so dull now? Do you have no other feelings except for caring for others?”
Lu Ye stared blankly at Shangguan Huanling.
“Fine, I won’t say much; I’ll get straight to the point. My Emotion Dao has disappeared.”
Lu Ye felt like he had been struck by lightning.
The Emotion Dao… disappeared.
“Since the love is gone, I can let you leave.”
“Lu Ye, how could you be so irresponsible? I’ve already given you my body, and now you want me to leave? What am I supposed to do?”
“You know my Emotion Dao has disappeared—can’t you act like a man? Either help me have my Emotion Dao back, or just because I lost my Emotion Dao doesn’t mean I don’t love you anymore! I just think you’ve been too boring lately…”
…
“Young Master, does it hurt?”
“I can’t help it; I feel so insecure. Because of my weakness, everyone in the Chu Sword Manor is dead, and I can’t keep up with you. I really want to give it my all!”
“I can help you refine swords…”
“What’s the point of the swords just forged? I need swords that have witnessed countless battles; only by merging those swords can I grow faster and condense stronger sword intent—wasn’t that what you taught me?”
“I told you to take enemy swords, not your allies’ swords…”
“Stop being so naggy; you don’t need to worry about me! If I die trying to take a sword, then so be it; after all, I’m just your maid sword mistress. You really don’t need to care so much!”
Lu Ye took a deep breath.
The faint mist in his eyes began to evaporate.
Heart Tribulation!
The deeper the feelings, the deeper the wounds.
Even with such a firm Dao heart, it could still be infiltrated by heart tribulations.
His expression became calm.
The Taiyin Bone Bug had yet to hatch.
“Let’s think of a way to force out the Taiyin Bone Bug.”
“Ding! Calculation successful!”
“Huh? That was fast?”
Lu Ye was a bit surprised.
“Ding! Your problem was too simple; even kids wouldn’t ask something that simple, so the calculation went fast.”
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
Oh, so the system thinks it’s all that now?
“Ding! Help me calculate a parallel to ‘lonely cold window, blankly guarding my solitude,’ thank you!”
“Ding! Starting calculation…”
The system fell silent.
Silent.
Silenced.
…
Lu Ye couldn’t help but grin, can’t take it, huh?
Brr… it’s so cold.
Forget it, I won’t tease the dog system anymore.
“Stop the calculation!”
“Ding ding ding, stupid host, this system is all in now!”
Shen Xitang lunged at Lu Ye with rage.
Lu Ye grabbed her in a hold and pressed her down on the table.
“Ding ding ding, filthy host, stupid host, bastard host, let go of me! If you’re brave enough, fight me one-on-one!”
“Aren’t I already fighting you one-on-one?”
“I don’t care! Let go of me now; I want to bite you, I want to bite you!”
“Please, good host, good master, let me vent; just let me bite you once—please, please, please…”
