"The Dragon God's Spirit?!"
The moment Ye Han heard what it was, delight appeared on his face.
But then he remembered the things the Dragon God had bestowed on him before.
The Dragon God Sacred Body, the Dragon God's Soul-they had all been incomplete!
At that thought, Ye Han's anticipation dwindled sharply, and he frowned.
"This Dragon God's Spirit isn't another defective product, is it?!"
Even the Dragon God felt awkward at those words. He gave a light cough before speaking solemnly.
"Ahem! Indeed, my Dragon Soul is currently half-crippled, possessing less than one ten-thousandth of its power at its peak!"
"Even so, it must not be underestimated. It is enough to increase your current soul and spiritual power tenfold!"
"You should understand how incredible a tenfold increase in soul and spiritual power is, and how many benefits it brings!"
"Furthermore, my Dragon Soul can repair itself as your soul and spiritual power increase, growing ever stronger!"
"Most importantly, it possesses the special ability to communicate telepathically with dragon-type Soul Beasts or divine beasts!"
Ye Han was overjoyed after hearing this. Naturally, he understood the benefits of increasing his soul and spiritual power.
With a tenfold increase, wouldn't he be able to counteract, or even ignore, the soul impact when absorbing Soul Beasts' Soul Rings in the future?!
Buzz-!
Seeing Ye Han's delight, the Dragon God's eyes shone with golden light as he bestowed the Dragon God's Spirit upon him.
Ye Han immediately felt a cool sensation in his mind, as though wisdom had been poured through the crown of his head, opening his understanding in an instant.
Among the rewards bestowed during the Dragon God's first three trials,
the Dragon God Sacred Body strengthened his physical body, while the Dragon God's Soul strengthened his imposing presence.
And this Dragon God's Spirit strengthened his soul and mind!
With these three combined, if he restored them completely, wouldn't that amount to possessing the Dragon God's Power?!
"All right."
Before Ye Han could say anything in his delight, the Dragon God's voice rang out again.
"Since you have completed the Third Trial, what comes next is the task for the Fourth Trial."
"You must first travel to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest. There, I will issue your Fourth Trial!"
Ye Han paused, wondering whether the Fourth Trial might be connected to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But he did not ask further and nodded in agreement. Then, remembering something, he spoke respectfully.
"Lord Dragon God, thank you for lending your aid today."
The Dragon God remained largely unmoved and said slowly,
"There is no need for thanks. I merely fulfilled the promise I made to you."
"However, my intervention today has likely drawn the Divine Realm's attention!"
"For the next several years, I fear I will be unable to help you again. You must act carefully and never be as rash as you were today!"
Ye Han naturally understood and nodded in agreement.
The Dragon God continued,
"Furthermore, when I helped you repel your enemy, your body suffered a backlash because it was too weak!"
"Although it was stabilized in time, your foundation was still severely damaged. You must consume some immortal herbs to repair it!"
Ye Han nodded. These problems would be readily resolved once he reached Sunset Forest.
Seeing this, the Dragon God said no more. His enormous golden eyes shone with golden light, just as before.
Buzz-!
Ye Han felt the scene around him blur.
When he regained awareness, he had already returned to the real world.
The moment he returned, he saw Xiao Wu without a stitch on.
She was pleasuring herself and seemed about to take the final step!
"Filthy, horny rabbit, get lost! I'm not so hungry that I'd even eat you!"
Startled, Ye Han hurriedly raised his hand and slapped her away.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu instantly lost her balance and fell to the floor, then passed out on the spot.
"This filthy, horny rabbit is truly disgusting!"
Ye Han cursed aloud, then quickly got up to put her dress back on her.
He did not want Sister Ling Yuan to see this when she returned and get the wrong idea.
Yet halfway through dressing her, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Ye Han recognized the sound of Sister Ling Yuan's high heels and inwardly cried out in dismay.
Creak~
Sure enough, the next moment, the door opened, and Ling Yuan's figure came into view.
"You... you two...!"
Seeing the scene before her, Ling Yuan froze.
"Sister Ling Yuan!" Seeing that Ling Yuan was safe and sound, Ye Han was overjoyed.
But panic quickly rose in him. Afraid she would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained,
"Ahem! Y-you have to hear me out. This damned rabbit broke free of her restraints!"
"She climbed onto the bed to seduce me. I knocked her out, and now I'm putting her clothes back on!"
As he spoke, Ye Han hurriedly finished dressing Xiao Wu, then stood up and looked at Ling Yuan awkwardly.
A trace of complicated emotion flashed through Ling Yuan's eyes, but in the end, she chose to trust him unconditionally.
"What are you so nervous about? All that matters is that you're all right, my dear husband!"
Ling Yuan put down the dinner she had bought, walked over, and embraced Ye Han as she spoke softly.
"Sister Ling Yuan..."
Ye Han felt Ling Yuan's warm embrace.
First, warmth filled him, then guilt swept through his entire body.
It was all because he had failed to think things through that he had nearly lost Sister Ling Yuan today.
"Sister Ling Yuan, I'm sorry, I..."
Ling Yuan did not give Ye Han a chance to finish. Her expression immediately turned serious.
"So! What's going on with the divine power inside you? Hurry up and tell me the truth!"
Ye Han paused. It should be fine to tell Ling Yuan about the divine inheritance, right?
After all, she had promised him she would not talk carelessly, and she had nearly lost her life for him!
So Ye Han told Ling Yuan about obtaining a divine inheritance and undergoing the divine trials.
He also asked her to keep it secret and not reveal the whereabouts of Tang Hao and his son, as he wanted to settle matters personally in the future.
"A... a divine inheritance! Divine trials!"
After hearing this, Ling Yuan was stunned speechless.
This little fellow, Ye Han, had actually obtained a divine inheritance?
Only then did Ling Yuan understand. No wonder this little fellow knew so much.
It turned out that a deity was helping him from behind the scenes. That explained everything that had happened before.
And as Ye Han's future woman, she naturally had to support him with all her might and help him complete his divine inheritance!
"My dear husband, don't worry. I'll keep your secret~"
"From now on, you must tell me whenever anything happens. I'll help you complete your divine trials!"
Ling Yuan spoke earnestly, leaving Ye Han inexplicably moved as he said,
"Mm-hmm. Thank you, Sister Ling Yuan."
But soon, Ye Han was filled with remorse again and wanted to apologize for what had happened today.
If not for the Dragon God's help, he might have gotten her killed by that beast Tang Hao.
"All right, it's fine. Aren't we perfectly all right now?"
Seeing what Ye Han wanted to say, Ling Yuan interrupted him, then smiled gently.
"Wash your hands and come have dinner. We'll rest tonight and return to Spirit Hall tomorrow."
With that, she turned to fetch the dinner she had bought for Ye Han.
Watching Ling Yuan's lovely figure bustle about, Ye Han felt even more moved.
He silently swore that he would protect Sister Ling Yuan properly in the future.
He had already put her in danger once today. How could he allow it to happen again?
At that thought, Ye Han clenched his fists, and his hatred for Tang Hao deepened further.
Sister Ling Yuan had nearly died at Tang Hao's hands today. Naturally, he would remember this debt.
Tang Hao, you beast, just you wait!
For grudges old and new, I'll personally repay you ten thousandfold one day!
Rage surged in Ye Han's heart, but he also knew that to take revenge personally, he needed to grow stronger.
His damaged foundation currently required immortal herbs to repair, and the Fourth Trial would only be issued once he reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Then... he had no choice but to visit Sunset Forest. Besides, his original plan had also been to go there.
First, he would cure Dugu Bo's poison in exchange for immortal herbs. Second, he would obtain immortal herbs to conceal Rogue Rabbit's identity as a Soul Beast.
At that thought, Ye Han immediately rose and explained to Ling Yuan that he needed to go to Sunset Forest to receive his new divine trial.
He also explained that capturing this Rogue Rabbit had been the task of the Third Trial, and that he needed to obtain immortal herbs to conceal her identity.
After hearing Ye Han's words, Ling Yuan naturally had no objections and supported him unconditionally.
Only the prospect of Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu becoming Ye Han's personal Soul Beast left her feeling faintly worried and dissatisfied.
Time flew, and the next day soon arrived.
After waking from sleep, they set off for Sunset Forest.
Xiao Wu remained convinced that Ye Han was a god among beasts who had infiltrated Spirit Hall.
To keep Ye Han's identity from being exposed, she was forced to continue playing the little scatterbrain.
