A Peerless Beauty Emerges from the Bath, Yet He Only Looks at the Data

She could not feel her own body, yet she had never perceived the joy and exhilaration of every single cell so clearly.

[World's Number One Princess: Oh my god! Those eyes! They're so beautiful! Can a human really have eyes like that?]

[Is Jade Not Jade: The eyes aren't the point! The point is that she's still soaking in the water! And... she's not wearing anything!]

[Little Fox Demon: Brother Yifei... still has his back turned...]

That single sentence in the Chat Group instantly awakened everyone—and also woke Dugu Yan, who had just been reborn.

She abruptly lowered her head.

The clear spring water reflected her current appearance. Her flawless jade-like body glowed enticingly at every inch beneath the intertwined red and blue light.

A blazing wave of embarrassment shot from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, turning her newly reshaped pretty face three shades redder than the Infernal Delicate Apricot in the spring.

"I..."

Instinctively, she wanted to curl up and wrap her arms around herself, only to find that such a gesture was utterly futile now.

Yet stronger still was the reverence and gratitude rising from the depths of her soul.

She slowly raised her head and looked toward the figure who still had his back to her.

It was this man.

In a manner she could neither understand nor imagine, he had pulled her from hell and personally sent her to heaven.

Before such grace of remaking her very being, the little shyness of a young girl seemed incomparably insignificant and laughable.

"The data is stable. Gene recombination completion: ninety-nine point nine percent."

Li Yifei's calm voice carried over without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as though a craftsman were assessing a work he had just finished.

"Come out."

He gave the order casually.

"The residual energy in the spring no longer benefits you. It will instead hinder the initial synchronization between your body and Martial Soul."

Dugu Yan's heart trembled.

She bit her lower lip and hesitated no longer.

With a light tap of her lotus foot, her body rose gracefully from the spring, sending strings of crystalline droplets scattering through the air.

It was an entirely new experience.

She felt as though she was not using Soul Power at all; rather, her body itself possessed the instinct to ride the wind.

Yet when her feet touched the jade stone at the spring's edge, the embarrassment of being completely exposed to the air nearly made her faint.

The livestream camera also shook wildly because of her violent emotional turmoil.

Just then.

Whoosh~

A broad black robe swept in front of her on a precise arc with a faint breeze, landing steadily in her arms.

From beginning to end, Li Yifei never turned around.

He had merely taken a spare garment from Dugu Bo's Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and tossed it over without even looking back.

The motion was smooth and effortless, casual to the extreme.

Yet it left all the young girls in the Chat Group speechless once more.

[World's Number One Princess: ...I declare that from today onward, Brother Yifei is the only gentleman in my heart! The only one!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: I take back what I said about him being domineering... What is this? Ultimate dominance combined with ultimate gentleness? I love it!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Brother Yifei is so kind... He's always thinking of Sister Yanzi.]

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong slowly loosened the hand that had been gripping the armrest.

Watching the man's careless action on the screen, the jealousy and frustration in her heart gave rise to an even more terrifying thought.

Possession.

She wanted to possess this man.

Or perhaps, possess the "method" he had mastered.

The power to alter Martial Souls and reshape human bodies so casually made her crave it more than the Angel God's divine seat, more than the Rakshasa God's inheritance!

He was not a god.

He was... creating gods!

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

An unusual light flickered in Qian Renxue's golden eyes.

In his world, the naked body of a peerless young beauty was no different from a stone or a medicinal herb.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

In a panic, Dugu Yan draped the robe, still carrying the man's scent, over herself and completely covered her exquisite curves.

The oversized garment made her petite body look somewhat comical, but it also gave her an immense sense of security.

Li Yifei was still studying the projection on his wrist, seemingly confirming something.

[The subject's vital signs are stable. Cellular energy conversion rate has reached the preset peak.]

[Ice-Fire Dual-Attribute Gene Lock activated. Perfectly fused with the Jade Heavenly Serpent Martial Soul gene chain.]

[Preliminary assessment: this individual's potential has risen to the threshold of 'God-level.' Future growth depends on energy supply and personal will.]

Not bad.

Li Yifei reached his conclusion inwardly.

Two Immortal Herbs and a drop of Water of Life in exchange for a top-tier experimental specimen and a complete set of data on advanced Martial Soul Evolution.

This deal was not a loss.

As for gentlemanly conduct, he had never even considered it.

He merely wanted the test subject to maintain a stable psychological state, making subsequent observation and data collection easier.

After all, a test subject whose energy had become unstable from humiliation and indignation had no research value whatsoever.

He shut down the virtual screen and finally turned around.

Dugu Yan's heartbeat skipped instantly.

Nervously, she lowered her head, not daring to look at that handsome face that made her feel ashamed of her own inferiority.

Li Yifei's gaze fell upon her body—or, more precisely, upon her eyes.

Those heterochromatic pupils, one burning with flames and the other crystallized with ice.

"Raise your head."

His command was brief and direct.

Dugu Yan's body stiffened. She instinctively raised her head and met his gaze.

"Try mobilizing your Soul Power and channel it into your eyes."

Li Yifei continued issuing instructions.

Dugu Yan did not dare disobey and followed his words.

She did not even need to deliberately circulate it. The Soul Power within her seemed to find an outlet, surging madly toward her pupils.

Buzz!

A faint tremor sounded in the air.

In Dugu Yan's left eye, the cluster of crimson flame suddenly flared. A slender crimson beam shot out soundlessly and struck a piece of Obsidian over twice a man's height in the distance.

There was no explosion, no roar.

Before everyone's eyes, the incomparably hard Obsidian rapidly melted from the point struck by the beam, turning into a pool of crimson magma that gurgled as it flowed.

Immediately afterward, the deep-blue ice crystal in her right eye lit up as well.

Another deep-blue beam shot forth, precisely covering the pool of magma.

Hiss~

White mist rose.

In less than a second, the scorching magma, along with the surrounding ground, froze into a blue crystal radiating the chill of absolute zero.

With one thought, magma. With another, icebound.

The two extreme powers switched perfectly within her, without the slightest delay or conflict.

[A Little Goose: Th-this... is my power?]

Dugu Yan stared blankly at her handiwork, scarcely daring to believe it.

The Chat Group also fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone was so shaken by this scene, which was nothing short of a miracle, that they could not speak.
