Morit's Guess

Morit was so terrified that he was practically beside himself.

That had actually been the roar of a dragon—a dragon! It was one of the most powerful races in the entire War God Continent!

Every Giant Dragon that had just reached adulthood possessed the strength of an Emperor Rank warrior. They were truly terrifying.

Although the dragon race had not appeared on the continent for many years, its might remained deeply etched in people's hearts.

How could a Giant Dragon have appeared here? Morit pondered uneasily.

When Morit had just left the living room, the dragon's roar had vanished. Even though Morit was an Emperor Rank powerhouse, he had discovered nothing.

Morit floated above the City Lord's Mansion, his sharp eyes sweeping ceaselessly in every direction. His vast spiritual sense covered the entire Skyfall City, leaving no corner unchecked, but after a long while, he still found nothing.

The dragon's roar had come far too suddenly. It had left even him stunned for a moment, and by the time he came outside, the roar had already disappeared.

Morit's brows furrowed into a deep crease as he secretly puzzled over it.

"Whew!" He let out a helpless sigh.

After investigating for a long time without result, Morit had no choice but to give up.

His figure trembled and vanished into the air. When he appeared again, he was already in the room where Chen Yun was staying.

"Huh?"

Morit uttered a startled sound. Chen Yun's room was simply too quiet.

In theory, Chen Yun had been suffering from energy backlash, so there should have been some fluctuation of energy. Yet there was not the slightest movement in the room now.

Could it be...? Morit's expression changed drastically. It couldn't be that quickly...

With no time to think, Morit hurriedly flashed into the room.

But in the next instant, Morit was stunned.

Before Morit stood a completely naked man. His bronze-colored skin occasionally flickered with an alluring glow, while streamlined muscles were evenly distributed across his body. He looked both aesthetically pleasing and brimming with strength.

What an excellent Treasure Body! Morit could not help praising him.

Indeed, after six years of body cultivation, Chen Yun's body had already become extremely robust. Moreover, after suffering this energy backlash and being saved by that mysterious Jade Pendant, his entire physical body had practically been reborn. Faintly, it even seemed as if divine light flowed through it.

Morit was an Emperor Rank powerhouse, after all. Though he was briefly stunned, he quickly recovered.

He already knew that Chen Yun was no longer in any danger. His eyes swept around the room, where he saw only some fragments of clothing.

What was going on? How had his energy backlash subsided so quickly? That didn't make sense!

Morit thought in bewilderment.

Judging by Chen Yun's current condition, not only was his body already unharmed, it seemed to have even become different.

At this moment, Morit had practically ten thousand questions in his heart, but there was no one who could answer them.

Morit's tiger-like eyes suddenly turned sharp. He split off a strand of spiritual sense and sent it toward the unconscious Chen Yun.

However, just as his spiritual sense touched Chen Yun's body, the Blood-colored Little Dragon in Chen Yun's lower abdomen suddenly opened its eyes. Two blinding beams of golden light shot toward Morit's spiritual sense like sharp swords.

Morit's spiritual sense felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he swiftly pulled it back.

What was that...? The expression on Morit's face was filled with uncertainty.

This youth's body was far too strange! His identity was probably far from simple! Morit sighed inwardly.

Just then, Brian and the others also arrived.

Niya rushed into the room at the very front.

But then—"Ah!"—a high-pitched scream rang out from inside the room.

The expressions of the others changed drastically, and they quickened their pace as they charged inside.

Yet a petite figure slammed into Brian's arms. Brian hurriedly stopped, while the others behind him also slammed on the brakes and came to a hard stop.

"What happened, Niya? What's going on?"

Bright reached out and helped Niya up after she had accidentally thrown herself into his arms.

"I... I..."

Niya's face was flushed bright red. She stammered for a long while without managing to explain anything.

"Ah! It's the boss! This... this..."

France's rough, honest face was filled with astonishment. His right index finger pointed straight at the completely naked Chen Yun on the bed, and his eyes were opened as wide as they could go.

Hearing him, the others also looked over. Only Niya stood beside Bright with her head lowered, her face bashful.

"Ah!"

Lia also saw Chen Yun lying naked on the bed. She cried out in surprise and hurriedly turned her head away.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Lia's embarrassed appearance, Niya could not help laughing.

"You little brat!"

Lia glared at Niya with her embroidered eyes, then walked over, grabbed Niya, and dragged her out at a trot.

Brian was the first to recover. He turned his head toward Morit, who wore an awkward and speechless expression.

"Cough, cough... City Lord Morit, what... what exactly happened here?"

Guke and France also stared at him strangely. France's eyes were wide as he looked Morit up and down curiously, his expression practically shouting, Hey, City Lord, you don't happen to have some special hobby, do you?

Morit felt uncomfortable under the three men's peculiar gazes. His squarish face was unbearably awkward, black lines seemed to spring from his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched faintly.

As the lord of a city, when had Morit ever encountered something so frustrating that it made him want to vomit blood?

"Cough... Well... He was already like this when I came in. I suppose the energy fluctuations during the backlash blasted his clothes apart. Look, there are fragments of clothing on the bed and floor!"

Morit was, after all, the lord of a city and a profound cultivator. He quickly regained control of his emotions.

After hearing Morit's explanation, the three men finally understood.

Brian gave Morit an apologetic smile. Without saying much, he smoothly steered the conversation elsewhere.

"City Lord, how is Chen Yun's condition now?"

France also asked anxiously, "That's right, City Lord. Is my boss all right now?"

Even Guke's perpetually cold face shifted slightly, his eyes flickering as he stared at Morit.

Morit gave Guke a brief assessing glance before turning to Brian. "There's no need for you gentlemen to worry now. From what I can tell, this young brother Chen Yun's body has already recovered. Although he's still unconscious, he should wake up within a few days. Hehe." After saying this, Morit also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not mentioning the strangeness of Chen Yun's body.

Hearing Morit say this, the three men finally relaxed, overjoyed. Even a faint, barely perceptible smile appeared on Guke's icy face.

Brian laughed heartily and cupped his hands toward Morit. "You've gone to a great deal of trouble, City Lord. Bright thanks you!"

Morit repeatedly waved his hands. "Please, don't say that. To be honest, I didn't do anything. He recovered entirely through his own strength!"

"Oh? He recovered on his own?" Brian raised his brows and looked at Morit doubtfully.

"Yes! He recovered by himself. I don't understand how it happened either. You must have heard that dragon's roar just now, right? But by the time I rushed out, the sound had already vanished, and I found nothing. When I returned here, this young brother Chen Yun had already recovered."

Morit paused at this point, then pondered before saying, "There's one thing that doesn't seem strange to you? Before I had just returned to the living room, the energy backlash in Chen Yun's body had left even me helpless. Yet after that dragon's roar, the injuries in his body miraculously healed. I wonder if it could be..."

Morit's face was full of puzzlement as he boldly voiced his guess.

The three men also guessed what Morit was about to say, and each wore an uncertain expression.

"That's impossible, right? This... how could that be?"

Brian shook his head.

France and Guke also wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Seeing their reactions, Morit did not find it strange. After all, this was merely his own conjecture.

Morit glanced at Brian, his eyes flickering faintly. "Well... young brother, might I have a private word with you?"

"Oh?"

Brian raised his brows, glanced at Morit, and nodded.

He then said to France and Guke, "I'll go out with the City Lord for a while. Stay here and look after Chen Yun. Ah, right—put this outfit on Chen Yun. His build is about the same as mine."

As he spoke, Brian brushed his right hand across the ring on the index finger of his left hand. A luxurious outfit appeared in his hand, and that ring was none other than a Space Ring.

Brian handed the clothes to France, then left with Morit.

Guke watched the two men leave with a puzzled expression, while France looked thoughtful.

"All right, let's check on the boss first!"

France was the first to recover. He slapped Guke on the shoulder, then turned and walked toward Chen Yun.

"Wow! Tsk, tsk... The boss's physique is incredible! Look at these muscles, look at these lines—how smooth they are!"

France exclaimed enviously, reaching out to touch them as he spoke.

Guke, who came over afterward, heard France's words, and a streak of black lines rose across his forehead.

Then Guke looked at Chen Yun, who was sleeping soundly on the bed with even breaths. Two sharp rays of light suddenly burst from his eyes, startling France, who had been wearing an intoxicated expression.
