Deep within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Liu Lin gazed at the two colossal dragons before him. There was not a ripple of emotion in his eyes; he simply waited quietly for them to speak.

After all, as a transmigrator, Liu Lin naturally knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was a geomantic treasure land formed by the deaths of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

The reason he dared to come here was, of course, because Zhang Lexuan would be here in the future.

Furthermore, even if the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King still possessed remnant souls, after being baptized by the passage of such a long time, they could not possibly defeat Zhang Lexuan.

As the saying goes, the rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish; today, he, Liu Lin, was here to fish amidst the surging tides.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, standing before Liu Lin, watched the human who had appeared with eyes full of confusion.

After all, they had only awakened upon sensing a creature that possessed the power of soul beast destiny.

Once awake, they used their remaining divine sense to perceive that this creature possessed the dual ultimate attributes of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, which was why they decided to summon him to inherit their mantle.

As it turned out, the one who finally appeared before them was a human. The two Dragon Kings probed with their divine sense several times, only to find they had not made a mistake.

The two Dragon Kings could only stare at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the Ice Dragon King was the first to react, looking at Liu Lin as he spoke slowly:

"Human, who exactly are you? Why do you carry the destiny of my soul beast kin?"

Upon hearing his brother's words, the Fire Dragon King reacted as well, snarling viciously at Liu Lin:

"Human brat, speak quickly. If you don't, you shall die right here. Heh heh heh."

Liu Lin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth at the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings; he felt that these two were a bit dim-witted.

Especially the Fire Dragon King, whose laughter just now sounded like a brainless minor villain from a novel.

Liu Lin bowed to the two Dragon Kings and looked at them respectfully, saying:

"This junior is Liu Lin. I am indeed a human, and this power of destiny was obtained by chance. May I ask what you seniors require?"

Hearing Liu Lin's ambiguous answer, the Ice Dragon King's tone grew quite angry.

"Brat, do not try to be clever. Tell This Seat, and perhaps I will consider leaving you an intact corpse."

Hearing the Ice Dragon King's angry voice, just as Liu Lin was about to ask if they wanted to weigh whether they could defeat Zhang Lexuan, the voice of the Three-Eyed Golden Ni echoed from his Sea of Consciousness.

"Liu Lin, leave this to me. I will handle this matter."

Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's words, Liu Lin nodded and handed control of his body over to her.

"Very well, I leave it to you."

As soon as Liu Lin finished speaking, the golden-haired, red-eyed girl within the Sea of Consciousness took over his body.

When Liu Lin opened his eyes again, his originally black pupils had turned crimson-gold, lending his temperament a more noble and sacred air.

Seeing the change in the human before him, the Ice Dragon King hummed in confusion and spoke to Liu Lin in a stern tone:

"Human, This Seat asks you one last time: who exactly are you? If you do not answer, then die here."

"Senior, he has gone to rest. Let me tell you from here on out."

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni first stated her identity, then told the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King a condensed and adapted version of the story between her and Liu Lin.

"Senior, this junior is the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni. The reason he possesses the destiny of soul beasts is because..."

Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's account, the Ice Dragon King nodded his massive dragon head.

"Since you say so, the person before us must have a pure heart. Today, This Seat shall bestow my inheritance upon him."

As he spoke, the Ice Dragon King lowered his massive head, his ice-blue dragon eyes staring at Liu Lin at close range.

The Fire Dragon King beside him heard his brother's words and also nodded in agreement.

"Brat, my inheritance shall also be given to you."

"However, we are but two wisps of remnant souls, and having been awakened by you, we cannot last much longer."

After the Fire Dragon King finished speaking, the Ice Dragon King took over, saying to the two:

"Once you have obtained our inheritance, you need only complete one task. Brat, can you do it?"

Hearing the Ice Dragon King's words, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni nodded in agreement.

"Senior, rest assured. I will supervise him to ensure it is done; I guarantee the task will be completed."

At this moment, Liu Lin, within the Sea of Consciousness, couldn't help but sigh to himself—coming a few years early really made a difference.

When Zhang Lexuan told him about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well a few days ago, she hadn't mentioned that he could obtain the Dragon Kings' inheritance.

Of course, it was also possible that Liu Lin hadn't told Zhang Lexuan about this. But Liu Lin quickly cast the thought aside; after all, he could ask her after he went up, but if he missed this opportunity now, it would truly be gone.

Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's guarantee, the Ice Dragon King began to recount a past event and the task they were to perform, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

"After you obtain our inheritance, you need only travel to the Dragon Valley in the future to bury our kin."

The Ice Dragon King fell silent after speaking. The Fire Dragon King, standing to the side, took over, his voice tinged with exhaustion and sorrow:

"Before we two brothers fell, we sensed that the Dragon Valley was located within this continent, so we wished for our departed kin to have a proper resting place."

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni felt it was time to leave the decision to Liu Lin, so she returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

"Alright, this lady is going to eat. The rest is up to you, Liu Lin."

After saying this, she kissed Liu Lin and vanished within the Sea of Consciousness.

Liu Lin, remaining within his Sea of Consciousness, was still lost in his own thoughts; he had assumed the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King would send him to find one of the Dragon God's avatars.

As it turned out, he only needed to do what Tang Wulin would do in the future: go to the Dragon Valley and perform a thousand-day burial for the dragons.

It wasn't until the Three-Eyed Golden Ni kissed him and left the Sea of Consciousness that he snapped back to reality.

Liu Lin then emerged from his Sea of Consciousness and took control of his body. He nodded solemnly to the two Dragon Kings, signaling his agreement.

"I promise you this. In the future, I will certainly find the Dragon Valley and allow those giant dragons to rest in peace."

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance, a trace of relief flashing through their dragon eyes simultaneously. Then, the two dragon shadows transformed into an ice-blue and a crimson-gold stream of light, merging into Liu Lin's body at the same time.

A vast yet gentle energy exploded through Liu Lin's meridians, and both of his martial souls emitted joyful dragon roars almost in unison.

An ice-blue giant dragon phantom and a crimson-gold giant dragon phantom appeared alternately behind him.

About half an hour later, the crimson-gold giant dragon phantom emerged, and four soul rings slowly appeared beneath Liu Lin's feet.

Yellow, purple, purple, crimson-gold.

Pale gold patterns flowed slowly across the newly appeared crimson-gold soul ring.

However, immediately afterward, the crimson-gold dragon phantom behind him was replaced by the ice-blue one, accompanied by the rise of a silver-blue soul ring.

After sensing his physical condition, Liu Lin couldn't help but feel that his soul power was rising a bit too quickly.

Having absorbed the soul rings formed by the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Liu Lin felt he would reach level 48 in just a few days.

But before he could be happy for too long, he ran into a dilemma. The colors of these two soul rings were far too eye-catching—one ice-blue and one crimson-gold. Wouldn't others try to capture him for research if they saw them?

Just as he thought this, his mind stirred, and the colors of the two soul rings changed to purple simultaneously, looking no different from ordinary thousand-year soul rings.

"This is the final gift we leave for you," the Ice Dragon King's voice echoed in his mind, sounding much weaker than before, as if it were about to dissipate.

"These two soul rings possess the ability to change color, allowing you to switch between purple and their original hues. Until you have the ability to protect yourself, purple will be enough to deceive others."

After a pause, another, even weaker voice added, "Also, we have left two soul bones for you; this is the last thing we can give you. Farewell, human."

As the words fell, the presence of the two dragon shadows vanished completely. Liu Lin took a deep breath and bowed solemnly in the direction where the two Dragon Kings had dissipated.

"The two of you, go in peace."

Just as Liu Lin finished speaking, two soul bones broke through the soil at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and flew toward him.

They were the right arm bone bestowed by the Ice Dragon King and the left arm bone bestowed by the Fire Dragon King.

The moment Liu Lin touched the two soul bones with his hand, they turned into streams of light and merged into those two soul rings.

"Hm? What is this?" Liu Lin was left completely bewildered as he watched the soul bones merge directly into his soul rings.

After all, she had never heard of such a thing before.

He then sensed them and discovered that the soul bones had merely integrated into the soul rings; he could extract them whenever he wished to absorb them.

Knowing this, Liu Lin didn't bother pondering why they had merged into his soul rings; the top priority now was to get out of here.

With that, Liu Lin swam toward the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Meanwhile, outside, Zhang Lexuan had already raised her cultivation from level 71 to level 76 after absorbing the Dew of Gazing Through Autumn Waters and the Heaven Soul Grass.

She could sense two distinct divine powers echoing each other within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Sensing this, and worried about Liu Lin, Zhang Lexuan walked quickly to the side of the well. Just as she was about to enter the water to search for him, the surface broke, and Liu Lin leaped out, landing steadily on the bank.

Liu Lin saw Zhang Lexuan standing by the well and was just about to say something when he caught her playful gaze.

He hurriedly looked at himself and discovered that his clothes had been reduced to rags and dissolved into the well due to its properties.

He was currently completely naked; no wonder he had felt a chill upon surfacing.

Fortunately, he had handed his storage soul tool to Zhang Lexuan before entering the well, or he would have been forced to streak.

"Sister Lexuan, don't... don't look. Could you please give me the storage soul tool?"

Hearing Liu Lin's words, Zhang Lexuan gave a wicked smile and walked over to him with his storage ring.

"Little Lin, you're so small, what is there to look at? Sister is just checking on your physical condition."

"And if you want the storage ring, you must first tell me who you like the most? Who is the prettiest?" As she spoke, she pointed to her cheek, signaling for Liu Lin to kiss her.

Liu Lin's forehead was covered in black lines at Zhang Lexuan's words. However, when one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head.

Liu Lin looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had come up behind him, and gave her a kiss.

"Sister Lexuan is the prettiest, and I like... like Sister Lexuan the most."

Watching Liu Lin stutter through these words with a blushing face, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but giggle, though she still handed him the storage ring.

Meanwhile, the Zhang Lexuan within the Sea of Consciousness felt the blush on her face never fade as she watched her future self teasing a little boy.

Moreover, upon seeing Liu Lin naked, she tried to deceive herself by covering her eyes with her hands, yet she still peeked through the gaps between her fingers.

"Why are you trying to deceive yourself? If you want to look, just look. He's yours in the future anyway," a voice remarked while the Zhang Lexuan in the Sea of Consciousness was peeking.

Hearing her future self's annoying tone, Zhang Lexuan retorted indignantly, "You pedophile, stop talking. I'm only looking because I'm forced to."

"Hmph, as your future self, I naturally understand you. Besides, I am you, and this is exactly how you will be in the future."

"No, I'm not, how could I possibly... possibly be like that." As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan's voice grew quieter and quieter.

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Just stay obediently in the Sea of Consciousness and watch Liu Lin and me be together." With those words, the future Zhang Lexuan's figure vanished.

"Isn't this my body? And why does it feel like... I've been played by myself?" Zhang Lexuan, inside the Sea of Consciousness, knelt on the ground and muttered to herself.

Outside, at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"It's over, I've made a complete fool of myself today." Liu Lin took the storage ring from Zhang Lexuan's hand and hurriedly pulled out a set of clothes to put on.

When Zhang Lexuan had seen Liu Lin naked, she had used her divine power to shield him, so no one else had seen him; after all, she did not like letting others see what belonged to her.

In less than a minute, Liu Lin had finished the entire process of retrieving and changing into his clothes.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly: "Dressed already? What was it you wanted to tell me just now?"

"Yes." Liu Lin nodded. Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's question, he hurriedly brought up the matters regarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to change the subject.

Zhang Lexuan did not press for details; she simply stood up and brushed the grass clippings from her skirt:

"Hmm, these things truly didn't happen in the previous life. You only obtained two spirit bones back then."

"Oh, right. Do you want to take two immortal herbs back for that fiancée of yours?"

"Yes, of course... I do." Liu Lin clamped his mouth shut the moment those words left his lips. He had been getting along so peacefully with Zhang Lexuan for the past few days that he had almost forgotten about his situation in Star Luo City.

"Hmph, hmph. You just said that big sister is the most beautiful, and now you're already thinking about another woman."

"But Little Lin, your body still isn't in great shape right now. Big sister is terrified that one day, my tongue might slip and I'll let it all out."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Liu Lin nearly collapsed to his knees.
