Prismatic Hextech, Ah Yin's Request

[Birthday Gift] selection successful.

As the option was confirmed, the other two Hextech choices slowly faded from the screen.

A silver-white orb appeared within the system space.

Chen Xing knew this was his reward for reaching level 10!

With a light tap of his finger, a flash of light swept by, and 5,000 Gold Soul Coins appeared in the system inventory.

"Uh... I guess it's acceptable..."

After all, it was only a level 10 reward; being a bit "vulgar" was understandable.

Moreover, this sum of money could indeed solve most of his current troubles.

All in all:

Although he was a bit disappointed that the reward was too mediocre, it was still somewhat useful to him.

After handling the matters with the system, Chen Xing turned his attention to Ah Yin.

Ever since a moment ago, this small blade of grass had been swaying back and forth. It seemed that because of the fusion with the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, he could vaguely communicate with her.

"Stranger... please take me away from here..."

A blurred consciousness transmitted into his mind, leaving Chen Xing slightly surprised.

He walked up to the small mound of dirt and reached out a finger to touch it, but this time, Ah Yin actively wrapped herself around his forearm and began to climb up his arm.

"Hey! Hey, don't do that..."

Chen Xing tried to peel her off, but found she was wrapped very tightly; he was afraid that if he used too much force, he might snap her.

"I can sense the aura of a soul beast on you. Please take me away, I beg you..."

Having spent six years in this cave, although Ah Yin's soul power was weak, she was still capable of thought.

At first, she had complained about Tang Hao planting her main body here, feeling that her "Hao Ge" was too careless—he had only considered concealment, without thinking about how harsh the surrounding environment was.

However, she could accept all of that. After all, facing a crisis, she was glad she had protected him and their child as his lover.

But as time passed, Ah Yin's life force grew weaker and weaker, yet that man still refused to show his face.

As such, her mindset slowly began to shift.

The first year, Ah Yin hoped Tang Hao would move her to a better environment...

The second year, Ah Yin hoped Tang Hao would come to visit her...

The third year, Ah Yin seemed to realize that the whole situation was not that simple...

The fourth year... the fifth year...

Until today, she had completely given up hope on Tang Hao.

As a Blue Silver Emperor with 100,000 years of cultivation, she was simple-minded, but not an idiot.

She had clearly already entered her maturity phase, so why was she discovered by a Title Douluo...

Tang Hao could have easily taken her to hide in the Blue Silver Forest to give birth, so why did he lead the crowd from the Martial Soul Hall to them...

Why did he have to place her main body in this dark, sunless cave...

For six years, the man hadn't appeared even once!

Despair flooded her mind; Ah Yin did not know when these days would end.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, she still had subjects to protect. If her bloodline power could not shelter her tribe, the power of her subjects would inevitably be affected.

She wanted to leave this place, wanted to return to her ancestral lands, but only endless darkness awaited her.

Just today.

She finally waited for a stranger to appear, and this person also possessed the aura of a soul beast.

The moment he took out the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, she desperately absorbed the energy dissipating into the air, which allowed her to recover a sliver of vitality.

Just now, as Chen Xing reached out his finger, Ah Yin seized the opportunity and climbed upward with all her might.

She had to leave this place!

At any cost!

"Stranger! As long as you take me back to my ancestral lands, I can help your Martial Soul evolve to the Emperor level."

Seeing that he was still resisting, Ah Yin threw out her biggest bargaining chip.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Martial Soul Evolution? And evolving to the Emperor level?

In that moment of distraction, Ah Yin seized the opportunity, wrapping herself and her roots tightly around Chen Xing's arm.

This scene left Chen Xing speechless.

One had to admit, time changes a person's personality, and the same is true for soul beasts.

Who said Ah Yin was gentle? Where was the gentleness in this...

"What do you mean by letting my Martial Soul Evolution?"

Since she had already climbed up, Chen Xing didn't tear her off anymore; besides, he had originally intended to help Ah Yin.

However, the condition she just mentioned made him somewhat curious.

Seeing that Chen Xing seemed to be moved, Ah Yin hurriedly explained.

"You are also a Soul Beast in human form, right? I saw that your Martial Soul is Solitary Bamboo!"

"Once we return to the clan territory, I can bestow my bloodline power upon you. At that time, your Martial Soul will completely finish its evolution and become the emperor among plant-type Martial Souls."

Hearing this, Chen Xing was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected such a thing to be possible, and a wave of excitement surged in his heart!

Martial Soul Evolution! And it was an evolution of his very life essence!

But as a transmigrator, he didn't believe there were such good things in this world just waiting for him to pick up. Maintaining his vigilance, he thought of a loophole and immediately changed the subject.

"Then what about your Blue Silver Grass clan? Don't they need your bloodline power?"

Hearing this, Ah Yin's tone became noticeably dejected.

"Back then, I ignored the advice of my clansmen and insisted on taking human form to recultivate as the Blue Silver Emperor, leading to this outcome. I no longer have the face to be this emperor."

"When the time comes, I will voluntarily abdicate the throne, and there will naturally be a successor in the clan to take my place and become the new emperor."

"However, rest assured. Although there can only be one emperor among Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts, your Martial Soul will not be affected."

Hearing this, Chen Xing seemed to grasp the logic behind it.

"In other words, there is one emperor for plant-type Soul Beasts across the entire continent, and one emperor for plant-type Martial Soul Spirit Masters!"

"And after you bestow your bloodline power to me, my Martial Soul will be that emperor!"

"Exactly!"

So that was it!

Looking at it this way, after Ah Yin's sacrifice, she must have occupied both thrones simultaneously.

The Soul Beast clan, hindered by the fact that the Blue Silver Emperor's life aura had not completely vanished, could not elect a new emperor.

At the same time, plant-type Martial Soul Spirit Masters, hindered by the fact that Ah Yin had once taken human form and her original body still had the possibility of transforming, would not awaken an emperor-blood Martial Soul.

Chen Xing silently pondered the pros and cons.

Logically speaking, given Ah Yin's kind nature, no matter how her personality had changed, she shouldn't be one to deceive or entrap others.

Therefore, about 90 percent of what she said was likely the truth. Besides, he had indeed intended to help Ah Yin from the start, and taking her back to the clan territory wasn't a difficult task.

After pretending to think for a moment, Chen Xing made his decision.

"I agree to your terms!"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Ah Yin was overjoyed, her tone filled with excitement and delight.

"Really? Thank you, benefactor!"

With the two having reached a friendly agreement, Chen Xing stopped worrying about it; it was just a matter of running an errand, after all.

After organizing all his gains, there was no longer any point in staying in the cave, so he used the flight ability of his Spirit Bone to dash out through the waterfall.

As soon as he touched the sunlight, Ah Yin, who was on his arm, became lively.

"Will it be inconvenient for you to just wrap around my arm like this? Should I find you a flower pot later?"

"There is no need to trouble you, benefactor. As long as I can touch the sunlight, I will be fine for a short time!"

Chen Xing marveled to himself; the vitality of the Blue Silver Emperor was truly tenacious.

Ah Yin clung to his arm, looking just like embroidery on his clothing, only much more vivid and lifelike.
