Chapter 3: The Benefactor and the Yellow-Haired Must Repay Their Debt!
At this moment, it was not wise to linger, so as soon as Young Master Yun felt that oppressive aura fade away, he hurriedly sprinted towards the gates of Cangzhou City.
He was like a rat, terrified of being caught by a cat.
“From now on, I need to keep my distance from them,” Young Master Yun muttered to himself while racing forward, channeling his spiritual energy.
After dodging the d*ath path, he really didn’t want to be entangled with any member of the main character group. He just wanted to be a decent guy and quietly live out a second life in this bizarre world.
Besides, he was reborn as a young master of an aristocratic family! Sure, his lineage couldn’t match those second-generation immortals from the sects, but in the mortal world, he could still live quite luxuriously.
As long as he didn’t provoke the main character team, he could live a carefree and enjoyable life.
Not to brag, but Young Master Yun was pretty easy to satisfy—no lofty ambitions here. Just a fairly decent wife would be enough. Why bother banging his head against the wall to chase after the likes of Huang Aotian?
So from now on, he was determined to be a law-abiding little young master!
“And that’s a delightful decision!”
With his future path firmly set, Young Master Yun felt ignited with hope, brimming with expectations for the life ahead.
……
In the forest.
Lin Zhongyu was on her way home, her outfit tidy and elegant, with her long black hair cascading gracefully down to her waist, exuding a tranquil beauty.
She walked under the dusk, yet her mind kept drifting back to Young Master Yun’s figure.
She lowered her head, staring at her palms, feeling warm currents swelling in her abdomen. It was a strange but pleasant sensation, almost like a powerful energy was itching to burst forth.
She couldn’t quite grasp what was happening; it felt as if something inside her was shifting.
“Ever since the Young Master of the Yun family used acupuncture on me, my body seems to be undergoing subtle changes,” Lin Zhongyu murmured, unaware that her eyes were currently shimmering with faint golden embers.
This was a sign that the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes were about to awaken.
When Young Master Yun had forced the poison out of her, he had inadvertently activated the mysterious power within Lin Zhongyu, kickstarting her Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes early.
Now, she just needed a trigger to awaken the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes herself, allowing her to completely rise and shine.
But all she could think about was Young Master Yun, oblivious to how this strange power even related to her.
Furrowing her brows, Lin Zhongyu whispered, “Could it be that Young Master Yun secretly fed me some cultivation-enhancing dan pill?”
In the small place of Cangzhou City, cultivation pills were incredibly precious; even the Lin family only provided them to the most talented individuals.
Lin Zhongyu had taken them before, but even she, known as Cangzhou’s “number one genius,” could only receive two pills a year from her family. This gave a clear picture of how valuable those pills were.
However, thinking about Young Master Yun’s kindness, she wondered if he truly would go to the extent of feeding her a dan pill to save her life.
“He actually would do something like that for me…”
Lin Zhongyu felt an overwhelming surge of emotions inside her. With this new energy bubbling up, she knew she couldn’t waste Young Master Yun’s good intentions. Immediately, she sat down to cultivate and refine the power.
The mysterious energy bubbling inside her was rapidly refined. The searing power surged through a meridian straight into her eyes.
Simultaneously, her long-stagnant cultivation levels began to rise swiftly; clogged meridians melted away under the strong yet gentle energy, cleansing her entire system.
In an instant, Lin Zhongyu’s cultivation soared from the third level of Qi Refinement to the fifth level… Wait! It’s already the fifth level!
At the same time, two beams of golden light burst forth from Lin Zhongyu’s eyes.
In that moment, the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes fully awakened, bringing about a miraculous change.
Her eyes could see the flow of spiritual energy around her, clearly perceiving its attributes with precision.
Her perception of spiritual energy was enhanced to the maximum!
“How powerful! This energy… it has granted my eyes unprecedented strength.”
Her previously untrainable physique had returned to normal, and now, being able to see the flow of all spiritual energy meant she could accurately choose the energy that suited her attributes, exponentially increasing her efficiency.
Moreover, the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes allowed her to see how spiritual energy flowed within the human body, giving Lin Zhongyu insight into whether her techniques were being executed correctly, making her study of techniques far more effective.
In combat, she would also be able to predict what techniques and attributes her opponents would use, allowing her to take targeted action.
Having once been a genius, Lin Zhongyu quickly pieced together the numerous potential applications of the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes.
She was utterly astonished; such an opportunity made her feel as if all the humiliation she had faced over the years had been washed away. No longer did she feel wronged.
At the same time, using her Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes, she noticed a clue etched into her body—the acupuncture points Young Master Yun had used were precisely on the path to activating that mysterious power!
This meant!
Young Master Yun had actually helped her awaken these eyes!
“Young Master Yun… he actually… did all this for me…”
Despite enduring a multitude of grievances without shedding a single tear, her inherently strong nature crumbled at this moment. She couldn’t hold back the tears streaming down her cheeks.
She covered her mouth to suppress any sobs, but the emotions rushing through her heart were too overwhelming to contain, making it impossible to express them all.
Young Master Yun had already done so much for her—forcing out the poison and guiding her to see the truth—yet now she realized he had helped her change her fate. Such kindness could never be adequately repaid!
Lin Zhongyu bit her lip, recalling Young Master Yun’s teachings. Resolute not to cry anymore, she clenched her powdery fists and wiped her tears away.
She lifted her gaze towards the golden sky painted by the setting sun, almost as if she recalled Young Master Yun’s shining golden hair.
“I, Lin Zhongyu, have experienced extreme highs and lows in life. Young Master Yun will undoubtedly be my most important benefactor. No matter what, I must repay him in the future! Anything he asks, I will do!”
Lin Zhongyu swore, feeling a pang of regret as she realized she didn’t even know her benefactor’s name, just that he was the young master of the Yun family.
She made a mental note to find out all she could about him once she returned to the Lin family.
Now done refining her energy, Lin Zhongyu stood up, ready to rush back, when suddenly, a graceful silver-white figure burst forth from the depths of the woods.
The girl wore a white dress, her delicate features youthful and captivating. With her silvery hair glimmering like snow, she emanated an air of cold arrogance, yet when her violet eyes met Lin Zhongyu’s, they shone with warmth.
The silver-haired girl was much smaller than Lin Zhongyu, resembling more of a loli, some might say she fell somewhere between loli and young lady. Yet, despite being petite, her were striking and drew Lin Zhongyu’s gaze.
This was the destined female lead from the game, Huang Aotian—Mu Jixue!
At this moment, her little face was flushed, clearly having run a great distance. Upon spotting Lin Zhongyu, she threw her arms wide and leapt towards her, enveloping her in a tight embrace.
“Thank goodness, Xiao Yu, you’re okay! That b*stard Young Master Yun didn’t do anything to you, right?!”
Her tone was frantic as she quickly checked Lin Zhongyu’s body. Only when she confirmed she was unharmed did she let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhongyu seemed not to have been violated.
