Chapter 80: Seed of Life!

In the Silver Moon Mountain Range, Xuan Lao only discovered the bodies of six Shrek Inner Court Disciples.

Although they were all broken and incomplete, because of the special case of Chu Qingtian, he still hoped that more students had survived.

Therefore..., after learning the news that there might still be Shrek Inner Court Disciples alive.

He began to rush recklessly through the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest, with the goal of finding those few surviving students.

Splash~ splash~ splash~

Cough, cough, cough~~~

In a pitch-black cave, a series of urgent coughs suddenly rang out.

Snap~

Xu Nian'an's face was deathly pale as he used all his strength to snap his fingers.

A crimson flame slowly rose, illuminating the entire cave, and in a short while, the scene inside the cave came into Xu Nian'an's view.

The ground was dry, and there even seemed to be firewood; Xu Nian'an used the flame in his hand to ignite it, and the cave instantly became much brighter.

Xu Nian'an took a look at himself; his top was tattered, having long since been shattered when the Silver Moon light shone upon him during the Silver Moon Giant Tribe's attack.

Unbuttoning his top, Xu Nian'an discovered that not only was his clothing shredded, but the surface of his body beneath the clothes was also covered in pits and wounds of varying degrees.

No wonder... no wonder, no wonder he felt so uncomfortable and painful, and suffered such a massive consumption of soul power, even though he hadn't been injured or gone through a particularly difficult battle.

After completely removing his top and allowing the skin that had been irradiated to have extensive contact with the air, the pain disappeared after a short while.

Only then did Xu Nian'an have time to observe his surroundings.

"Cough, cough, cough~~~"

Drip~ drip~ splash!

The sound of coughing, the sound of water droplets hitting the ground, and... the sound of the waterfall outside the cave slowly echoed.

The smell of blood permeated the air.

Xu Nian'an quickly began to look around; no... this wasn't right, didn't he encounter a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast, the Silver Moon Giant King, and get surrounded by the Silver Moon Giant Tribe?

Was he taken away from the scene by Ye Yi Han using something similar to a soul skill?

It seemed Ye Yi Han had also suffered particularly severe injuries.

Following the sound of coughing and dripping water, and the smell of blood, Xu Nian'an slowly raised his head to look.

On a stone platform, there were three beautiful women with deathly pale faces and in dire condition.

However, below the platform, there was another person whose face was as pale as paper, with blood dripping from their entire body, their body twitching constantly, and coughing violently.

Upon seeing this person, Xu Nian'an's pupils shrank violently, and he quickly stepped forward and pulled the woman into his arms.

"Senior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Ye!!!"

Following Xu Nian'an's two calls, Ye Yi Han opened her bloodshot eyes.

She opened her mouth, and a large mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out.

Seeing this, Xu Nian'an hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it away.

"Don't scare me, Senior Sister Ye, you... you must hold on!"

His Storage Ring flashed on his right hand, and an exquisite box appeared.

The box opened, and a mellow medicinal power instantly swept through the entire cave; a Black Tortoise Divine Pill lay quietly inside.

"Come, open your mouth."

Xu Nian'an extended his left hand to clear the blood blocking Ye Yi Han's mouth, while his right hand held the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, pressing it against her teeth.

Ye Yi Han stared fixedly at Xu Nian'an, and then, unable to care that her body was still twitching, she arduously began to shake her head slowly.

"Eat it, eat it!"

"Hurry up and eat it!!!"

Feeling the life force of the beauty in his arms fading rapidly, Xu Nian'an panicked.

Xu Nian'an was usually very stingy; of course, this excluded his own women.

If it were any other time, if Ye Yi Han needed a Black Tortoise Divine Pill, Xu Nian'an would have refused without hesitation.

After all, he had no relationship with her.

But now, Ye Yi Han had saved him not long ago; Xu Nian'an wanted to save her, yet she did not want Xu Nian'an to save her.

This was something Xu Nian'an had never expected.

"No... it's useless, I feel... I feel that my life has reached its end."

"This Black Tortoise Divine Pill is already of no use to me; even if it were useful, it would only prolong my painful death."

"I don't want that...."

"It's better to leave it for the other Senior Sisters."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's heart trembled violently; he was moved.

Looking at the blood-stained smile on Ye Yi Han's lips... Xu Nian'an's heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.

Hand on his heart, if he were Ye Yi Han, to be honest, Xu Nian'an could not go that far.

Trading his own life for the lives of others.

He was selfish, and he also wanted Ye Yi Han to be a little more selfish.

Touching her profile, Xu Nian'an, who hadn't paid much attention to her before, suddenly felt... that this minor character who hadn't even had much screen time in the original story actually possessed beauty on the same level as Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, and the others.

"Junior Brother Nian'an..., if you can truly escape this calamity, could you go to the Ye Family in Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an looked at Ye Yi Han without speaking, his eyes gradually turning red.

"My martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia. After thousands of years, the Ye Family has once again seen the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul appear. They exhausted the family's entire resources to cultivate me into a talent, sent me to join Shrek Academy, and used a soul bone that even the family head hadn't used, just wanting me to preserve my life..."

"If I die, Junior Brother Nian'an, could you dig out my Trunk Bone and return it to the Ye Family, and apologize on my behalf? I am very sorry that I am still alone before death, and helpless to leave an heir for the Ye Family to pass on the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul!"

Drip~

A drop of scalding hot tears fell; Xu Nian'an raised his right hand to cover his mouth, tears flowing like a bursting levee, and he nodded continuously.

After thinking for a moment, he began to shake his head violently again.

"I can agree to let you leave behind an heir, but... I will absolutely not agree to let you die in this godforsaken place!"

Placing the Black Tortoise Divine Pill into his mouth, Xu Nian'an bit down hard, then pressed it firmly onto Ye Yi Han's blood-stained lips.

"In this world, I have done right by everyone; you saved me once, and I will absolutely not let you die before my eyes!"

A green light suddenly began to shine.

The aura of life began to surge.

To be honest, Xu Nian'an did not know if this Black Tortoise Divine Pill would actually be of any use to Ye Yi Han.

However, even if there was the slightest chance, Xu Nian'an would not give up and would choose to try.

【Ding, detected that a goddess who is not a heroine of this world has strong emotional fluctuations toward the host. Do you wish to designate her as a goddess and rewrite her destiny!】

Hearing the cold system notification sound in his mind, Xu Nian'an's face lit up with joy.

To be honest, Xu Nian'an might really have had no certainty whether the Black Tortoise Divine Pill could save Ye Yi Han.

But the system's notification gave Xu Nian'an endless confidence.

"Designate!"

As the two words "Designate" fell from Xu Nian's lips, the cold system notification sound began to ring out in his mind.

【Ding, congratulations to the host, you have stolen the first kiss of the goddess Ye Yi Han, favorability has surged!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, because of your excellent oral technique, the goddess Ye Yi Han's favorability has increased by one!】

【Favorability reached five: Reward, full body physical fitness reaches its peak!】

【Favorability reached ten: Reward, Life Seed! (God-tier!)】

Looking at the seed emitting a lustrous green light in his hand, Xu Nian'an did not hesitate in the slightest and placed it directly into Ye Yi Han's embrace.

Hum hum hum!!!

Instantly, a massive green Soul Ring appeared.
