Gang Zi Takes the Bait, Ah Yin Awakens

"The center of the Star Dou Great Forest? The Lake of Life?" Yu Xiaogang's voice plummeted from its peak of excitement to its deepest despair:

"Is this the place where the Titan Giant Ape of the forest, and the Sky Azure Bull Python, the emperor of the forest, reside?"

If it really is that place, even if his father and Tang Hao join forces, they will probably be helpless!

Lin Hai nodded firmly. "That's right. But there are far more than just Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python lurking there; there are several other beings with even more terrifying strength!"

"I once risked going in to search for it, and I almost got stuck there forever!"

"There are even more terrifying Soul Beast? And there are several of them?! You mean... you actually managed to escape from the clutches of such terrifying beings?" Yu Xiaogang's emotions today were like a rollercoaster, going up and down wildly.

He knew Lin Hai was strong, but he never expected him to be this strong!

Lin Hai waved his hand, a humble smile appearing on his face:

"Of course I can't win in a fight, but I'm pretty good at running away!"

Then, he revealed an eager expression:

"I'm planning to try it out again after I've made a breakthrough in my strength! The Soul Power there is incredibly dense; it must hold a lot of good stuff!"

"How confident are you that you can succeed?" Yu Xiaogang asked hurriedly.

Lin Hai pretended to ponder for a moment, "Give me another two or three years, and I'll be 100% confident!"

"Then could you..." Yu Xiaogang stopped mid-sentence, suddenly calming down.

Why have I been losing my composure so many times today? Putting aside the fact that the veracity of Lin Hai's theories needs to be verified, it seems that I have no leverage left!

Help Lin Hai overcome the drawbacks of his Martial Soul? Forget it! Next time he activates his Martial Soul, I'll definitely stay far away!

Let's wait until we get to Heaven Dou City before making a decision. Xiao San seems to have a good understanding of pharmacology and toxicology; it's best to ask for his opinion first.

But this didn't stop Yu Xiaogang from saying some polite things first:

"Then I wish you success soon. If you have any theoretical questions in the future, feel free to discuss them with me. I can still offer some assistance with many theoretical issues!"

Yu Xiaogang did not stay at the academy for long and headed straight for Heaven Dou City early the next morning.

Based on the time it took Dugu Yan to absorb the Elixir Pill, Ning Rongrong's absorption this time will probably also take more than ten days.

Bored, Lin Hai told stories to the Bodhi Ancient Tree for several days, and the tree also shared many of its experiences in the Dou Qi Continent.

Several days later at noon, the calm voice of the Bodhi Ancient Tree resounded in his mind:

"The very grass you planted at the beginning is about to take shape!"

Lin Hai, who was taking a nap against a tree, suddenly sat up straight and immediately focused his inner energy on his dantian:

"Ah Yin is about to transform into human form?!"

"Great! I've been waiting for six years!"

Within the dantian world, the Blue Silver Emperor's enormous body gradually became illusory, eventually transforming into a dazzling blue halo.

The halo continuously contracted and condensed inward, eventually outlining an extremely beautiful curve, a graceful shape.

The sleeping goddess!

Lin Hai's consciousness drew closer for a closer look. The moment he saw Ah Yin's true face, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

'A woman who could somehow manage to mold Tang San, who possessed half of Tang Hao's genes, back into an ordinary person. Her aura is truly astounding...'

Ah Yin's beauty is not the kind that is stunning, but rather lies in the overall harmony and an indescribable feeling.

At first glance, it doesn't seem perfect, yet it seems impossible to find any flaws.

More importantly, the aura emanating from her made Lin Hai feel refreshed, even though he was only a thought at the moment.

It's like being trapped in a cage for a long time and suddenly returning to nature.

"Why hasn't she woken up?" Lin Hai asked, puzzled.

"Hmm... if I remember correctly, this should be the vegetative state patient you mentioned before, right?"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree's voice carried a hint of mockery. It seemed that, influenced by the stories that had unfolded in the Lin Hai these past few days, it had strayed onto a crooked path.

Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Can we stop talking nonsense at a time like this?"

"Perhaps... you could try the method of the prince waking the princess..." the Bodhi Ancient Tree suggested, its tone tinged with a hint of encouragement.

However, Lin Hai thought the suggestion was quite reasonable.

His mind instantly returned to reality, and he immediately retrieved Ah Yin from his dantian and placed her flat in front of him. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her.

The effect was immediate.

The moment their lips met, Ah Yin's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and her azure pupils first looked blank, then widened in surprise.

The first thing she saw was a somewhat familiar face, right next to her.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her lips being gently pried open and then invaded.

She instinctively pushed the other person away forcefully. This push allowed her to see that face clearly—

It's him!

She remembered being in a dark and silent cave, feeling no hope whatsoever.

It was this man who appeared, Entanglement a strand of her hair around his wrist, and said to herself:

"If you wish to leave with me, then remain Entanglement. If you do not wish to, then pull the vines from my grasp."

After indicating his willingness, he even tied a knot at the end of his hair...

Ah Yin raised her hand and gently lifted one side of her long, dark blue hair.

Sure enough, there was a knot at the end of one of the strands of smooth, long hair.

Lin Hai was somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't tell if Ah Yin had been awakened by his kiss or by the oxygen she had inhaled!

He scratched his head and explained with a wry smile:

"Um... I apologize for being a bit presumptuous! Actually, I mainly wanted to wake you up; what I did just now is called 'artificial respiration' in the human world..."

As he continued writing, he ran out of ideas.

Ah Yin's eyes were so pure and clear that Lin Hai, the master swindler, felt a rare sense of guilt.

Seeing his slightly embarrassed expression, Ah Yin lowered her head and smiled gently, clearly not minding his actions just now.

This reaction left Lin Hai somewhat bewildered. It shouldn't be like this! Even if he had done her a favor, he should be quite resistant to kissing her on their first meeting!

He didn't think his charisma was strong enough to make Ah Yin abandon her husband and children; besides, his looks were nothing like Tang Hao's!

He instinctively raised his arm and sniffed. Hmm, it didn't smell like his father...

Just as Lin Hai was filled with doubt, Ah Yin slowly stood up, her voice as gentle as the wind:

"Thank you for bringing me out of that dark cave, and thank you for helping me awaken... But!" She paused slightly, a hint of confusion in her voice, "Do you... know about my past?"

Ah Yin's question made Lin Hai feel even more uneasy, so he tentatively asked in return:

"Don't you... understand yourself?"

"I can't remember." Ah Yin shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Besides you, all I remember is an endless blue forest, and one other name... Xiao San!"
