So many corpse ghosts have gone to Tang City. If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Spiritual Realm will soon receive the news.
It’s certain that the people from the Spiritual Realm will also come to this cave.
Yin Chenming had already set his sights on this true spiritual cave from the very beginning.
However, he hadn’t expected this cave to also connect to another corpse ghost cave.
One is yin, the other yang; one is full of vitality, the other full of death energy.
It seems that this cave is even more complex than he originally thought.
After understanding the situation, Yin Chenming turned around with a blank expression and continued walking forward.
Wen Qingchen followed, “Big brother, what’s your name? You know who I am, shouldn’t you introduce yourself?”
Yin Chenming ignored her.
Wen Qingchen said, “You’re making it difficult for me by not speaking. I can’t just call you ‘master’ like your subordinate. Are you going to make me call you ‘hey, hey, hey’ or ‘cold-hearted bro’? Or maybe ‘aloof bro’? Oh, that doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe it’s better to keep it low-key?”
The temples under Yin Chenming’s mask twitched slightly.
Wen Qingchen said, “Wow, you’re so cold! This isn’t good. No wonder you’re emotionally distant… Do you know what emotional distance means? I’ve been trying to advise you to go see a doctor, so you don’t end up not being able to perform later in life. This is a big issue, and you can’t keep forcing yourself because of pride. I’m a doctor, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You see, I’m not embarrassed at all.”
Yin Chenming: “…”
He clenched his fists, enduring.
Wen Qingchen said, “Big brother, I think I’ve found the real cause of your problem. Don’t you want to take a look? I can give you a discount. Don’t worry, I’m very skilled. You can ask around in Tang City. I’m a professional, and I’ve treated cases like yours before. You can ask Nan Gongyan from the Nangong family. He’ll definitely tell you how it feels. After the treatment, forget about just once a night; at least seven times a night, you’ll be able to do it.”
Yin Chenming: “…”
His fists tightened further, enduring… what nonsense!
Suddenly, he spun around, moving forward aggressively, pushing Wen Qingchen into a corner. The cold silver mask was as close to her face as his voice was in that moment.
“Do you talk a lot?”
His voice was particularly cold, with a hint of gritted teeth.
Wen Qingchen blinked. The man was too close, and she could even smell a pleasant scent coming from him.
Especially up close, his eyes beneath the mask were even more deep and captivating.
Wen Qingchen blinked again, looking innocent, and said, “Big brother, I’ve said before, I’m a doctor. It’s my responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded. I can’t just stand by when I see a sick person, wandering around in front of me every day, not taking care of themselves. It makes me sad.”
Yin Chenming: “…”
He endured and endured, and after a long pause, he finally squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: “You’re the one with the problem!”
Wen Qingchen said, “I really do have a problem!”
Yin Chenming: “…”
Wen Qingchen pulled back her eyelid and leaned in closer to Yin Chenming, saying, “Look, I have red-eye disease. It flares up at night, and I haven’t had a chance to treat it. Do you see the redness?”
She leaned in even closer, almost afraid that Yin Chenming wouldn’t see her eyes, and her nose nearly touched his mask.
Yin Chenming froze for a moment, only seeing those long lashes and eyes that were still bright even in the darkness, like stars shining in the sky.
Only by looking closely could he see the slightest hint of red in her eyes.
Since she was so close, Yin Chenming could almost feel her long lashes fluttering like feathers.
His palm grew slightly warm, and he quickly released his grip. In the darkness, his ears seemed to turn slightly red.
Yin Chenming, expressionless, took large strides and walked ahead, as if something was chasing him from behind.
But after a few steps, he stopped again and coldly said, “Wen Qingchen.”
Wen Qingchen cheerfully responded, “Hey, I’m here!”
Yin Chenming ignored the heat in his palm and said coldly, “I need to borrow your power.”
Wen Qingchen: “???”
Huh? What does he want to do?
76
Yin Chenming had once heard that some people are born with a unique constitution, and even if they start as ordinary people, they can unknowingly walk the path of spiritual beings.
He didn’t believe it at first, but after meeting Wen Qingchen, he believed it.
He had investigated everything about Wen Qingchen’s past. She was born into the Wen family, with a father who was a renowned divine doctor. Though she had been pampered by her parents and doted on by her older brother, she was still just an ordinary person.
The Wen family was powerful and prestigious.
But all of this changed when Wen Qingchen suddenly became foolish a few months ago, leading her family down a path of misfortune.
Her father died, her brother was paralyzed, and all the misfortunes happened in the last two months.
It could be called misfortune, but it was also a sort of luck. After waking up, Wen Qingchen had undergone a dramatic transformation…
The special power within her had awakened, unknowingly guiding her toward the path of becoming a spiritual being.
……
Yin Chenming’s handsome face remained expressionless beneath his mask, but in his mind, he replayed Wen Qingchen’s life, eventually drawing the conclusion—she was gifted.
Because no one had ever taught her.
“Big brother? Where exactly are you taking me?”
Wen Qingchen couldn’t help but ask as Yin Chenming remained silent.
Yin Chenming coldly didn’t answer.
Wen Qingchen shrugged and turned to Sixteen, hoping to get a hint from him.
Just as she was about to speak, Yin Chenming, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Yin Chenming: “Here.”
Wen Qingchen looked up, and the view before her suddenly changed. In front of them stood a majestic palace, resplendent in gold and jade. The palace was lavishly decorated, and anyone unfamiliar with the place would think it was the emperor’s residence.
But it wasn’t. In the middle of the palace, there sat a figure.
Or rather, a skeleton.
Wen Qingchen’s eyes widened, feeling somewhat incredulous.
Sixteen explained, “Miss Wen, according to our investigations, this should be the cave residence of a senior spiritual god. The figure sitting there is the deceased spiritual god. This senior spiritual god left behind many precious treasures here.”
The master’s communication stone was found in this cave.
Wen Qingchen looked at the skeleton in the hall and could tell that when this senior passed away, they were sitting cross-legged, seemingly in meditation, yet perhaps also awaiting death.
Around them were many old boxes, piled with dust, along with many other items.
“This cave residence has been around for a very long time, and we don’t know how this senior spiritual god died. We’ve searched the area thoroughly, and this hall has only one entrance, so we need Miss Wen’s help.”
“I?” Wen Qingchen was puzzled. “What can I help with?”
Before Sixteen could speak, she added, “Help move the treasures from the hall? Oh, I’m good at that!”
Sixteen: “……”
The vein on Yin Chenming’s temple twitched slightly. He turned to look at Wen Qingchen and said, “The restrictions.”
Wen Qingchen blinked. “What restrictions?”
Yin Chenming: “You don’t know?”
Wen Qingchen: “What should I know?”
Yin Chenming: “……”
Sixteen was also surprised. They had always assumed that Wen Qingchen knew she could pass through any restrictions without trouble, which was why she had ignored the restrictions set by the master, gone to the pond, and taken the master’s personal clothing…
Turns out, she didn’t know at all!
Sixteen then explained.
Wen Qingchen finally understood. “So, you’re saying this entrance has restrictions too? And, according to you, I can pass through the restrictions? That’s why you need my help?”
Sixteen: “Yes.”
Wen Qingchen clicked her tongue. “I thought you guys were impressive at first, but it turns out you’re so weak that you can’t even break through these restrictions?”
Yin Chenming, who was strangely being looked down upon: “……”
