The Mysterious Undersea Ruins

"Lin Zi, wait for me!" Shen Qinghan called out to Lin Zichen as soon as she landed.

Upon hearing the shouts, Lin Zichen immediately turned around and ran back, scooped Shen Qinghan up in his arms, and rushed towards the research institute.

Because of its high speed, it stirred up a rapid airflow wherever it passed.

The wind whipped through the air, making passersby's skirts flutter and their hair whip across their faces.

It only took about ten seconds.

Lin Zichen carried Shen Qinghan and rushed to the front of the research institute.

After putting Shen Qinghan down, he conjured a card out of thin air and opened the door of the research institute with a beep.

It was not yet fully light at this time.

This point.

Liu Chuanwu was usually still at home and hadn't arrived yet.

Song Yuyan usually sleeps in her private room at the research institute.

Therefore, the research institute was shrouded in a gray and dim light.

Lin Zichen came in without even turning on the lights, and led Shen Qinghan straight to Liu Chuanwu's office.

We've only gone halfway.

Suddenly, Song Yuyan, completely naked, emerged from the dimly lit restroom ahead.

She was completely naked, wearing nothing except a pair of white cotton slippers.

Lin Zichen was stunned.

Shen Qinghan was also stunned.

Song Yuyan was stunned.

She slept naked last night and just woke up needing to pee. Thinking that she was the only one at the research institute at this hour, she simply went to relieve herself naked.

But I never dreamed that I would run into Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan as soon as I came out of the bathroom after relieving myself.

After a moment's reaction...

Song Yuyan immediately covered her lower body with one hand and her upper body with the other, took a step back and retreated into the bathroom, then slammed the door shut.

What are these two doing at the research institute before dawn?

I've never even held a man's hand in my entire life, and now my body has been completely exposed. My virginity, which I've cherished for almost thirty years, is gone!

How am I supposed to face those two people after this?!

Song Yuyan was devastated. She covered her flushed face with both hands, feeling both embarrassed and upset, and wished she could live on another planet.

Outside the door.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan both felt embarrassed for Song Yuyan inside; just thinking about it made them feel incredibly awkward.

The two had walked in too quickly, and the bathroom was dark because the lights were off, so they didn't notice Song Yuyan inside.

This back-and-forth has led to this awkward situation.

Although it was embarrassing, Lin Zichen was in a hurry to get the video of the Undersea Ruins, so he didn't think too much about it and quickly led Shen Qinghan to Liu Chuanwu's office.

When the two finished copying the video and walked out of the office together...

Song Yuyan, who had just been hiding naked in the bathroom in frustration, was now dressed in a loose martial arts outfit and sitting on the sofa in the Leisure Area looking at her phone.

Seeing the two of them come out, Song Yuyan tried to pretend that nothing had happened, but her tone was stiff as she asked, "What are you two doing at the station so early?"

Lin Zichen replied, "Come copy the Undersea Ruins video that the Dean saved on the computer, and show it to the Pavilion Master to see if he recognizes the murals on it."

"Did the Pavilion Master come looking for you?"

"Yes, they said they'd be staying in my and Hanhan's dorm for a while, absorbing more blood to build up energy in preparation for entering the Origin Land."

"I see."

"Sister Yan, I have to go now. I need to get back to my dorm before the Pavilion Master goes into hibernation in his coffin."

After saying that, Lin Zichen turned and left the research institute with Shen Qinghan without looking back.

On the way back to the dormitory.

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking, "Lin Zi, did you see Sister Yan's body just now?"

"I saw it," Lin Zichen answered honestly.

That scene was so obvious; to say you didn't see it is to fool a child.

Shen Qinghan: "Sister Yan is so clean! Her whole body is so fair and tender. I'm so envious."

Is this a death trap question?

Lin Zichen wasn't fooled and quickly solved the problem. "Anyone can envy Sister Yan, but you can't. You're so much fairer and more delicate than her."

Shen Qinghan felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Lin Zichen didn't say much to her and quickened his pace back to his dormitory.

Just a moment later.

The two of them took the copied video and returned to their dormitory.

Lin Zichen wasted no time, quickly went into the room to get the tablet, and uploaded the copied video to it.

Then, click to play the video and place it in front of Qi Qingmo for her to watch.

Qi Qingmo was a little curious about the tablet computer, but she didn't study it. Instead, she watched the Undersea Ruins in the video recording.

When she saw the mural depicting a large number of aquatic creatures kneeling in worship of a woman, her delicate, arched eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly.

Exactly the same...

The Undersea Ruins in the video have the exact same murals as the Undersea Ruins she entered years ago...

The content depicts a large group of seemingly high-ranking aquatic creatures kneeling in utter awe before a mysterious woman lying on her side inside a seashell...

Moreover, they're all the same woman...

Where is this Undersea Ruins?

Qi Qingmo's interest was successfully piqued, and she wanted to explore the Undersea Ruins shown in the video.

Lin Zichen said, "It disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Qi Qingmo was somewhat confused.

Lin Zichen explained, "The video footage of this Undersea Ruins was taken and preserved by Dean Liu many years ago."

"Dean Liu said that after he came out of this Undersea Ruins, he wanted to go in a second time, but he found that the entrance to the Ruins had disappeared."

"I asked the local fishermen, and they all said there couldn't possibly be Ruins there, saying that Dean Liu must have remembered it wrong."

"..."

After listening, Qi Qingmo looked thoughtful, wondering if there was a magic array set up.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Lin Zichen and asked, "In which sea area exactly is that mysterious Undersea Ruins in the video?"

"Double Sun Bay, not far from here."

"Double Sun Bay?"

Qi Qingmo memorized the place name, then said to Lin Zichen, "After I go into the Origin Land and come out, I'll go to Double Sun Bay to take a look for you."

She was curious about the Undersea Ruins in the video, but that was all she was curious about.

Her top priority right now is to go into the Origin Land and find a way out.

Everything else has to give way to this.

"By the way, Pavilion Master, Dean Liu brought out a Pearl Shell Bracelet from that mysterious Undersea Ruins back then. I'll show it to you."

After Lin Zichen finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qinghan beside him and said, "Hanhan, take out the Pearl Shell Bracelet that the Dean gave you and show it to the Pavilion Master."

"Okay, I'll go get it now."

As she spoke, Shen Qinghan quickly walked into the room.

Then, in the blink of an eye, she returned with a Pearl Shell Bracelet.

Qi Qingmo's eyes lit up the moment she saw the bracelet.

Before Shen Qinghan could come over, Qi Qingmo had a thought and pulled the bracelet over from a distance, holding it in his hand to examine and feel it carefully.

"This bracelet actually contains such a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

After observing and experiencing it, a subtle excitement appeared in Qi Qingmo's eyes, and he said with disbelief.

The Pearl Shell Bracelet contained a great deal of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that she needed.

The quantity was so large that it was enough for her to continue at full power for three days.

"Pavilion Master, does this bracelet contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Lin Zichen was quite surprised.

He had examined this bracelet many times, but it always seemed rather ordinary.

Unexpectedly, it contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the era in which Qi Qingmo lived.

This is somewhat unbelievable.

"Can I have this bracelet?"

Qi Qingmo looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "I really need this bracelet right now."

Shen Qinghan could certainly give it to her, but she didn't say so immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Zichen beside her without any opinion.

No matter what decision she makes, she needs to ask Lin Zichen's opinion first.

This wasn't something Lin Zichen made her do; it was simply her own choice.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been used to being a girl with little opinion of her own, and used to Lin Zichen making decisions for her.

Similarly, Lin Zichen had gotten used to her gaze.

The moment she looked over, he made the decision for her, saying, "Since you, Pavilion Master, really need this Pearl Shell Bracelet, then of course it should be given to you."

"After all, this bracelet is useless on our wrists; it will only end up as a pretty but impractical piece of jewelry."

"Only when placed in your hands, Lord Pavilion Master, can it realize its full value."

Lin Zichen was licking Qi Qingmo, wishing he could lick her to the heavens.

If you can please this unfathomable powerful figure, your safety will be guaranteed.

She could be adopted as a godfather—no, she should be adopted as a godmother.

Maybe from now on, they'll be able to roam freely across the globe.

"You two are such good children."

Qi Qingmo looked at the two people in front of him with a relieved smile on his face, and then said, "After a while, I will go into the Origin Land to find a way out. Along the way, I will collect evolution resources for you as much as possible."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan thanked him one after the other.

Qi Qingmo smiled and said, "I should be thanking you two. Not only did you transfer your vital energy to me, but you also gave me this bracelet containing spiritual energy. It's truly a timely help."

With this Pearl Shell Bracelet, she will have the confidence to enter this unknown Origin Land, without fear of any opponent.

She believed that no matter how unknown the Origin Land, the beings within that primarily cultivated Source Power would not be stronger than the beings in her Spirit Energy Era.

If she can channel her spiritual power and unleash her peak strength, she will definitely be able to sweep through the Origin Land.

Even if things go wrong, we can retreat unscathed without worrying about dying inside.

"Pavilion Master, with this bracelet, will you no longer need to suck Lin Zi's blood?"

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before asking.

Qi Qingmo: "No, you still have to inhale it."

"Spiritual energy is dwindling with every bit used; I won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

"If you can maintain your life force with your vital energy and blood, then it's best to consume your vital energy and blood to maintain your life force. There's no need to waste the hard-won spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"..."

"Oh, I see." Shen Qinghan nodded.

Then, very quickly, she asked, "Pavilion Master, may I ask what your strength is?"

She was very curious about Qi Qingmo's Biological Rank.

I want to know whether this Pavilion Master the Heavenly Human Pavilion is Epic- level being, Legendary Tier being, or even Mythical Tier being of the highest level.

Faced with Shen Qinghan's question, Qi Qingmo earnestly lectured, "Don't casually ask about someone's strength or cultivation level. It's an offense, understand?"

Shen Qinghan was taken aback.

After a moment's realization, he immediately bowed his head meekly and quickly admitted his mistake. "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master, I won't do it again..."

Qi Qingmo didn't dwell on this topic.

With a sudden thought, she put away the Bronze Ancient Coffin she had taken out earlier.

Then he said to the two of them, "I won't rest now, I have to go to Shuangriwan to find that Undersea Ruins."

As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished from their sight in a flash.

The Undersea Ruins in Shuangri Bay have yielded artifacts imbued with a great deal of spiritual energy; we must go and explore them now.

"Lin Zi, do you think the Pavilion Master can find that Undersea Ruins?"

Shen Qinghan asked curiously.

Lin Zichen shook his head. "I don't know, we'll have to wait for the Pavilion Master to return."

"Lin Zi, I didn't sleep all night, I'm so sleepy."

While yawning, Shen Qinghan said listlessly, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap with me?"

Lin Zichen: "I'm actually a bit sleepy too. Let's go take a nap together, and then go to the research institute."

After they finished speaking, the two went to the restroom to wash their faces.

Then I went back to my room, lay down on the bed, and went to sleep.

Having not slept all night, the two fell asleep almost immediately upon lying down.

At 1 p. m., the sun was shining brightly.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan woke up in bed, quickly fried a piece of Exotic Beast Meat, cut some Exotic Fruit, ate it in a few bites, and then went out to the research institute.

When the two arrived at the research institute.

Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan sat Aperture -legged on yoga mats, focusing intently on their acupoints, hoping to evolve into Advanced Being from Pure-Blood Human as soon as possible.

As for Ma Xiwei, she sat cross-legged on the other side, quietly learning how to control her Qi and blood.

Thinking about the embarrassing incident that happened this morning, Lin Zichen couldn't help but look at Song Yuyan, his gaze unconsciously falling on her round and full semi-circular curves.

Song Yuyan, this mixed-race mature woman, has a truly hot figure.

If Shen Qinghan's figure is innocent, then Song Yuyan's figure is "vulgar," capable of captivating any man's eyes with just one glance.

"Can doing yoga every morning really give you such a curvaceous figure?"

Lin Zichen looked at Song Yuyan's figure and thought to himself.

At this moment, he had a thought that Shen Qinghan should do yoga with Song Yuyan every morning to shape her figure into a more graceful shape.

While he was thinking about these random things...

Song Yuyan, who was sitting cross-legged on the yoga mat and intensely stimulating her Aperture, suddenly opened her beautiful light blue Western-style eyes.

As soon as Song Yuyan opened her eyes, she saw her Little Brother Zichen, staring at her upper body without any restraint.

In an instant, her pretty face turned red, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Just now, all she could think about was breaking through her Aperture.

Now, however, all he can think about is Lin Zichen impacting his Aperture.

My mind is in complete turmoil.

Seeing her face turn as red as a peach, Lin Zichen realized that his staring was inappropriate and quickly looked away from her, no longer glancing at her.

"Tending the weeds in the small garden..."

"Diligently driving stakes in the small garden..."

"Collecting morning dew in a small garden..."

Suddenly, a rather frivolous-sounding cell phone ringtone rang out.

It was Liu Chuanwu's phone ringing.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Liu Chuanwu, who was sitting cross-legged on his yoga mat, immediately picked up his phone and answered the call.

Who is it?

"A deliveryman?"

"I didn't order a package."

"..."

After exchanging a few words with the other party, Liu Chuanwu hung up the phone and muttered, "Strange, why would I suddenly receive a package? Could it be that some old man wants to give me a surprise?"

After saying that, he looked at Ma Xiwei beside him and said with a smile, "Weiwei, could you please go to the door and pick up my package?"

Now that the research institute has more members, he, as the institute director, doesn't want to do everything himself and wants to maintain a certain air of authority.

"Okay, I'll go get it now."

After Ma Xiwei finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the door.
