Ah Yin Overflowed with Motherly Love, and the Deserted Island's True Nature Was Discovered

The facts also proved that Ah Yin's judgment was correct.

After Chu Xiu drank the fluid, the scorching heat inside him slowly subsided, and he finally regained consciousness.

"Ah Yin, your...?"

Chu Xiu had more or less recovered, but he still pretended to be weak, resting his head on Ah Yin's thighs. His gaze seemed glued to that heavy pair.

Ah Yin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she averted her eyes. "Actually, I'd have to start with what happened before I died last time."

"Oh?"

Chu Xiu's interest was piqued.

At the memory of what had happened, Ah Yin's expression grew desolate.

Her voice was sorrowful. "As you know, Qian Xunji led his men after me, trying to kill me. With no other choice, I sacrificed my Spirit Ring and died."

"But what you might not know is that I'd just become pregnant with Xiao San back then. It was the happiest time of my life."

"Because my identity was exposed, Spirit Hall and Qian Xunji coveted my Spirit Ring as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The day they found us, I'd just safely given birth."

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up.

"So you sacrificed yourself and died before you even had a chance to nurse your child?"

Ah Yin nodded with a bitter smile.

"Yes. I was so tense while Spirit Hall was hunting us that something went wrong with my body. Even on the day I died, I still hadn't nursed Xiao San myself."

"When I first came back to life, I'd already forgotten about it. Later, once life settled down and I relaxed, I kept feeling a little swollen here. But since nothing leaked out, I didn't give it much thought."

"When I saw you unconscious just now, I only meant to give it a try. I never expected it to be exactly what I'd thought."

The Blue Silver Emperor was a grass of life to begin with, and her fluid was the very essence of the essence that nourished life.

What Chu Xiu had never expected, though, was this.

That bastard Tang San, born with a father but raised without a mother, really had never received a single mouthful of nourishment from his mother. Instead, Chu Xiu had reaped the benefit.

"Is Blue Silver Grass fluid really that miraculous? I was unconscious just now. Let me try again and see what it's like."

Chu Xiu looked at Ah Yin as he spoke.

A little shyly, Ah Yin bent forward and willingly fed the fluid into Chu Xiu's mouth.

The Blue Silver Emperor's fluid was sweet, smooth, and mellow. Once swallowed, it immediately transformed into a strange energy that flowed into Chu Xiu's meridians.

The sensation was much like what Chu Xiu had felt when eating spirit rice before.

But the Blue Silver Emperor's fluid had a much more pronounced effect than spirit rice, and it was purer as well.

It looks like Soul Power and spiritual energy are similar things, just with different levels of purity.

Spirit rice is the lowest grade of spiritual grain. Although the Blue Silver Emperor has Soul Power inside her, which might be lower in rank than spiritual energy, she's still the sovereign of plant Spirit Beasts, and a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast at that.

It's only natural that her fluid would have a stronger effect than spirit rice.

Chu Xiu sucked hard, swallowing in great gulps.

Only after draining all the Blue Silver Emperor's fluid did he release her, still craving more.

The energy inside him was already quite dense. Unfortunately, Chu Xiu knew no method of immortal cultivation, so he could only watch helplessly as the energy circulated through his body on its own.

Some of it flowed into the dantian in his lower abdomen and gradually settled there.

Even more of it traveled through his entire body before escaping through the pores of his skin.

Of course, the process also greatly benefited Chu Xiu's body.

As the energy reshaped his body, it became noticeably purer than before.

Watching Chu Xiu lie obediently in her arms like a child, Ah Yin found a gentle smile rising to her lips.

Chu Xiu seems about the same age as Xiao San. He's still a child, too.

[Ah Yin overflowed with motherly love. Bond Value +30]

[Current Bond Value: 70 points.]

"Huh?"

Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly widened.

This was an incredible surprise.

Not only had he gained a steady source of spiritual power, but he'd also earned thirty points of Bond Value with Ah Yin in one go.

So this was the right way to unlock her?

"What's wrong? Chu Xiu, are you all right?"

Seeing that something seemed off about his expression, Ah Yin hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's nothing."

Chu Xiu grinned. "The Blue Silver Emperor's fluid really is good stuff. Its healing effects are even better than spirit rice."

"As long as it works."

Ah Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

Nourished by the Blue Silver Emperor's fluid, Chu Xiu was now filled with spiritual power that had yet to dissipate, giving him more than twice his usual strength.

He had Ah Yin carry the three large bags of Spirit Beast blood.

He dragged the Magma Bear's entire corpse back himself.

When they returned to the cave entrance, Qian Renxue, Shui Bing'er, and Ning Rongrong were stunned to see the enormous Spirit Beast Chu Xiu and Ah Yin had brought back.

"My heavens, a bear this big must be at least forty or fifty thousand years old, right?"

Ning Rongrong had never seen a Magma Bear before. She asked curiously, "What kind of Spirit Beast is this? Why does it look a little like a Red Flame Bear?"

Shui Bing'er and Qian Renxue had the same questions.

Chu Xiu dropped the bear's foot he had been holding and took a deep, panting breath before saying, "It is a Red Flame Bear, just a mutated one. It lives in magma, so its whole body is covered in a layer of volcanic rock."

"Magma?"

Qian Renxue picked out the key word and asked with a frown, "Where would magma come from around here?"

By then, Ah Yin had also approached from behind him. As she set the three large bags of Spirit Beast blood on the ground, she replied, "Just a few hundred meters behind us. Besides the volcanic crater, there are all sorts of unusual terrains here, including areas covered in ice and snow. There's even a lake halfway up the mountain."

Apart from Ah Yin, everyone usually stayed near the cave.

Even Chu Xiu would not leave the camp without a reason.

But Ah Yin was different.

She loved nature by instinct and could slip past high-level Spirit Beasts without a sound. Using her daily search for iron ore as an opportunity, she had explored almost the entire circuit around the foot of the mountain.

Before this, however, she had never truly felt that she belonged to the group.

She was even more afraid that if she told them, Chu Xiu would realize she had been looking for a way out all along and grow wary of her.

Only just now had she truly come to see herself as part of the team.

Or perhaps it could be said that she had come to regard Chu Xiu as her family.

"Actually, I've been looking for a way out all this time. I discovered that this is an isolated island in the ocean. No matter how far I look, there's no mainland in sight."

Ah Yin took a deep breath, preparing to confess everything.

"This island is very large and circular. It should be at least a hundred li across, and the mountain beside us occupies half the island, right in the center."

"I haven't been any higher up. I've only gone around the foot of the mountain, but I found that the environment here is extremely complex. It seems to bring together every kind of terrain from our continent."

"And the climate isn't like this area where we're living, with spring weather all year round."

"The farther east you go, the colder it gets. To the west, it gets hotter and hotter. Where the heat and cold are most extreme, they even exceed what I can withstand."

"So I don't know what's behind the mountain either. From the side, I can only see that there's still ocean beyond the other side of the island."
