Humanity Orchid Heart

Lin Xiaosu sat on the bluestone slab, eyes closed, his heart a tumultuous sea. In another hour, if nothing unexpected happened, the Sky Window would open again.

During the last Astrological Shift Day, he had unintentionally "intercepted" a fairy's opportunity, gaining the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye. This had given his ordinary, unremarkable life a new way to unfold.

Today was not unintentional.

Today, he was deliberate.

He wanted to see if there were any new opportunities to "intercept"...

To cross into a world that couldn't communicate with his own, to seize a divine ability not of the human world – how thrilling, how worth anticipating was such a thing?

Midnight arrived.

Lin Xiaosu stared intently at the patterns on the stone. The long-awaited faint light began to appear...

Lin Xiaosu's heart rate suddenly accelerated. He sprang up, prostrating himself on the ground, his eyes peering through the patterns, staring beneath the stone.

The Sky Window on the stone slowly opened before his very eyes.

He saw that bizarre world once more.

A month had passed, and this world seemed to have changed slightly. It was no longer desolate, but possessed a hint of dynamism.

A giant monstrous bird soared into the sky, passing over the great river below.

The bird was so massive it covered the ground and reached the heavens. Its five claws were spread, like an eagle's, like a dragon's. Three crimson scales atop its head made it appear exceptionally peculiar.

With a flap of its wings, the giant bird descended towards the ancient stone tablet.

Judging by the position of its claws, it was targeting that small tree with only one branch and a dozen or so leaves.

Lin Xiaosu's heart trembled. Was the giant bird also trying to seize an opportunity?

Judging by its posture, with one claw strike, not only would the small tree, which looked like a fragile grass branch before it, be destroyed, but even the stone tablet itself would likely turn to dust.

However, as the giant bird drew closer, the entire world seemed to change completely.

The giant bird's size began to shrink...

No!

It was the stone tablet that was growing larger.

At first, it looked like just a tablet, but as the giant bird approached, the tablet became like heaven and earth.

Even a single leaf on that small tree seemed like a world unto itself.

With a gentle sweep of a leaf, the giant bird turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Lin Xiaosu stared blankly for ten seconds...

Ten seconds later, his gaze shifted to behind the stone tablet. The crystal coffin was still there, but it had changed compared to a month ago, undergoing an indescribable transformation.

Some of the clouds and mist within the coffin had dispersed, revealing the upper body of the beautiful woman.

Her exposed form was the most beautiful painted scroll in the world.

Her face was noble and sacred beyond compare, yet her figure was utterly stunning. The combination of the two created an ineffable impression...

However, Lin Xiaosu's main objective today was not to spy.

Just as Lin Fugui peeked at Widow Feng bathing, he was essentially stealing. He had impulsively lifted the curtain to see if anyone was there, which earned him the label of peeping at a widow bathing.

Lin Xiaosu was also essentially stealing...

His Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye focused on the leaves above. On one leaf, there was a drop of dew, about to fall but not yet fallen. Behind this leaf, another dewdrop was forming but had not yet taken shape.

This was the opportunity!

Last time, he had unintentionally caught a drop of dew, which had granted him the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye.

Today, he came prepared, his target still the dewdrop.

The starry sky seemed to tremble slightly.

The dewdrop fell.

Lin Xiaosu's consciousness glanced at the beautiful woman below, thinking inwardly, Excuse me...

Then, he moved towards the falling dewdrop.

Plop!

It was as if a drop of water splashed open in Lin Xiaosu's sea of consciousness.

Countless shattered jade fragments were stirred.

An ancient and vast piece of information entered his sea of consciousness: Humanity Orchid Heart, comprehending the great trends of the world, understanding the grand principles of heaven and earth, integrating the subtleties of wisdom, and resolving unwarranted calamities.

In an instant, Lin Xiaosu felt as if all his memories had been stimulated. All fragments of past memories instantly connected.

The books he had read were fully understood. All the brain cells in his mind activated, becoming infinitely clear.

His consciousness, which had originally been a vague, ethereal feeling, now seemed to condense into a conscious, living silver fish, separating from his body and existing independently in that wondrous realm.

Boom!

Beneath the stone tablet, a great river roared.

Above the sky, the Milky Way was rolling backward.

Inside the crystal coffin, clouds and mist churned, faintly revealing the most mysterious area below the beautiful woman...

Lin Xiaosu's silver fish sensed extreme danger and instantly retracted. He slid past the Sky Window in one step. The Sky Window closed behind him, locking away the world's furious, surging winds.

Sweat beaded on Lin Xiaosu's back.

Could it be that after interfering twice, he had finally been discovered?

If his consciousness were trapped in that world, would it mean he couldn't come back?

Fortunately, in the end, fortune favored the bold.

He had successfully obtained another unbelievable opportunity: the Humanity Orchid Heart.

In the past, he might have needed a long time to unravel the mysteries of this great divine ability.

But now, possessing the Humanity Orchid Heart, he understood its heaven-defying power in an instant.

The Humanity Orchid Heart: Super Comprehension.

Eidetic memory was just the basic skill; true mastery lay in its ability to integrate and understand.

He had spent days poring over books and doing endless practice problems for the civil service exam, yet he still only half-understood many things.

But now, he could recite every book he had ever read backward, word for word. The question bank that appeared in his mind was child's play to him.

My god, to give him such a super-cheat six days before the civil service exam, what was the meaning of this?

Did Heaven truly think that a genius like him was suited to be a weather observer?

Last time he interfered, a seven or eight-foot-long Earth Mother appeared. What about today? Did anything appear?

Lin Xiaosu's gaze swept over Hu Ya, who was asleep in front of him. The girl was sleeping soundly, and there was no movement outside.

From this angle, the girl's chest wasn't as high as the female corpse in the coffin.

However, her pose was clearly more unrestrained than any woman's.

She lay on her back, her body posed like Chang'e flying to the moon.

Chang'e flying to the moon embodied elegance.

She embodied it a bit... less elegantly?

The reason was found: the weather had gotten hot, she was wearing less, half her chest was exposed, her stomach was showing...

Girl, you're testing me again and again.

Lin Xiaosu walked into the inner room and picked up his uncle's blanket, covering her with it.

He covered her and even carefully tugged the corner of the blanket. Hu Ya didn't move at all.

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat. This wasn't normal.

Despite her spirited nature, Hu Ya's alertness was incredibly high.

Last time a snake burrowed outside the Taoist temple, Lin Xiaosu hadn't noticed at all, but she had.

Today, after all this commotion, she was still asleep?

Lin Xiaosu grew anxious: "Hu Ya!"

His voice echoed through the Taoist temple, but Hu Ya still didn't wake up...

Had she drunk too much?

She had indeed drunk quite a bit earlier, eight taels of white wine could easily render a girl unconscious, but that didn't apply to her.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze shifted, Time Reversal.

He traced back a few minutes to when that faint light had appeared. He had ducked, and as he did, Hu Ya had sprung up.

As she sprang up, that faint light had struck her.

And then...

Hu Ya had collapsed.

The problem wasn't the alcohol!

The problem was the faint light.

Last time, that faint light had inadvertently grazed a two-foot-long Earth Mother, and the Earth Mother had grown into a seven or eight-foot-long super Earth Mother right before his eyes.

And today, that faint light shot directly into Hu Ya's forehead.

What... would happen to her?

Lin Xiaosu didn't delay. He immediately dialed 120.

Then, he picked up Hu Ya and carried her down the mountain.

The mountain path was rugged, the moon hid behind the clouds, and darkness enveloped everything.

Under Lin Xiaosu's Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye, these were naturally not problems.

The real problem was his own physique. Carrying Hu Ya, who weighed only a hundred pounds, for several miles of mountain path left him breathless and exhausted.

He had to confirm whether Hu Ya's bodily functions were normal.

This was why he had called for an ambulance.

By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, the ambulance had already arrived.

Two doctors stood by the vehicle. "What are the symptoms?"

"Unconscious."

"She's been drinking!" the male doctor sniffed. "How much?"

He could smell alcohol.

"It has nothing to do with alcohol. She's drunk more than this before and was fine. Please check quickly if her bodily functions are normal..."

"Come on, get her in the car!"

The ambulance started, and inside, the examination proceeded simultaneously.

"Pulse normal... Blood pressure normal... ECG normal... Check the blood alcohol content!"

The female nurse in the ambulance aimed her syringe at Hu Ya's arm. The needle slid smoothly, then veered off to the side.

The female nurse's eyes widened abruptly...

She tried again, but still couldn't insert the needle...

"Dr. Zhou, I can't get the needle in!" the female nurse's voice trembled.

"How is that possible?" Dr. Zhou said. "Try again!"

Try again!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the needle bent directly.

Everyone was dumbfounded. The driver nearly crashed the vehicle.
