Chapter 112

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's tiger-like body shook violently!

"Awesome!"

Ye Lin gave Guo Qin a thumbs-up from the bottom of his heart, expressing his sincere admiration.

He had originally thought that Guo Qin being a flower-picking thief and targeting the wife of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau's deputy director was already the peak.

He never expected Guo Qin to be even more formidable than he imagined! To be so bold as to have such lecherous courage!

So valiant—whose subordinate was this?

That was the infallible Student Zhuge Qianxing! For Guo Qin to dare to set his sights on his wife—wasn't that like turning on a light in a latrine, purely looking for death?

"Don't mention it. At the time, I was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, thinking that with my speed, no one could catch me. Hearing that Mr. Student Zhuge's wife was as beautiful as a celestial being, I couldn't resist and went."

"As a result, after climbing over the wall of Mr. Student Zhuge's courtyard, I hadn't even seen what his wife looked like before I was pinned to the ground."

Guo Qin sighed gloomily, clearly extremely regretful about this matter.

"Mr. Student Zhuge was kind-hearted and didn't kill me, saying that as long as I worked for him for thirty years, he would let me go, and he wouldn't interfere with my normal life during that time. It's fortunate I ran into Mr. Student Zhuge; now that I think about it, if I had provoked someone else, I would have been a corpse long ago."

Ye Lin: "......"

He looked at Guo Qin with a strange expression; perhaps this was the classic case of being sold by someone and still helping them count the money.

Given Student Zhuge Qianxing's strength, he probably calculated that Guo Qin would show up long ago. It's very likely that even the news of his wife being as beautiful as a celestial being was leaked by Student Zhuge Qianxing himself, and even that indenture was drafted in advance.

However, Ye Lin didn't say much, instead silently taking Guo Qin's indenture and signing his own name in the position of Party A.

A free laborer is not something to turn down, and Guo Qin's speed was indeed shockingly fast; he could be of great use at certain times.

Once the indenture was signed, Ye Lin felt as if there was some connection between him and Guo Qin in the dark. If he sensed carefully, he could even perceive Guo Qin's current state.

"Sigh, life is bitter, still have to work for 20 more years." Guo Qin sighed and groaned.

"Then how about we tear up the indenture, everything stays the same, and I castrate you?" Ye Lin said while putting away the Spirits Return to the Afterlife Realm.

"Let's forget that. Working is definitely a must; I love working so much! Little Boss, if you point east, I definitely won't dare to go west!" Hearing about the "cut to cure forever," Guo Qin hurriedly pledged his loyalty.

Ye Lin ignored him and walked straight to Student Zhuge Qianxing.

"Forbidden Spell—Polar Ice Coffin!"

Ye Lin raised his hand to release the forbidden spell. The Polar Ice Coffin is an ice-type forbidden spell that costs the caster one of their own arms to freeze the enemy in an ice coffin that never melts, erasing all the enemy's vitality.

And at this moment, this forbidden spell was being used by Ye Lin as a coffin-making technique.

The ice-blue light spread rapidly beneath Student Zhuge Qianxing, like a gorgeous flower of ice crystals blooming.

The air was filled with a terrifying chill capable of freezing everything, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

The ice-blue light condensed around Student Zhuge Qianxing into a crystal-clear ice coffin. This ice coffin looked as if it had been carved from the purest blue ice; it was incomparably smooth and emitted an intense chill.

Student Zhuge Qianxing lay quietly in the ice coffin; if not for the lack of any color in his face, he would look as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

"Teacher, I'm taking you home."

Ye Lin stepped forward, hoisted the ice coffin onto his shoulder, and returned along the path he had come.

Just like when they arrived, this Qingcheng inside the Tianqi Gate was dead silent, with no signs of life to be found.

"This place is truly strange. Didn't they say there are countless treasures inside the Tianqi Gate? Why is there nothing?" Guo Qin muttered.

"This place is likely not something we have the ability to explore right now." Ye Lin also raised his eyes, taking a deep look at this world.

This trip to the Tianqi Gate had already yielded enough for him; at the very least, he had figured out why he possessed an immortal body.

As for more secrets within the Tianqi Gate, it wouldn't be too late to come back and solve them after his strength grew stronger.

What was most important now was to let Student Zhuge Qianxing be laid to rest.

For a man who could calmly face death for the entire human race, Ye Lin did not want Student Zhuge Qianxing to have no peace after death.

When they walked out of that stone gate, a sharp pain came from Ye Lin's stomach. The Tianqi Ancient Key broke out of Ye Lin's stomach uncontrollably and flew out, disappearing without a trace after flying into the Tianqi Gate.

Immediately after, that massive stone gate also began to slowly dissipate, eventually disappearing completely.

When the Tianqi Gate and the Tianqi Ancient Key would appear again, no one knew when or where.

Ye Lin carried the ice coffin and walked out of the valley. Without Student Zhuge Qianxing's guidance, he and Guo Qin weren't so lucky this time; they hadn't walked more than a few steps before a massive monster swiped a claw at them.

It was a level 34 Dragon-Blooded Beast!

"Fireball!"

Ye Lin raised the Red Flame Staff, and a single fireball sent this Dragon-Blooded Beast to the afterlife. Immediately after, he launched Endless Devour on this Dragon-Blooded Beast.

【Devoured level 34 ordinary monster *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and a trace of extremely thin Dragon Bloodline;】

【Increased lifespan by 424 years, experience points by 340, increased strength attribute by 6 points, agility attribute by 2 points, and mental power by 1 point.】

Ye Lin was slightly stunned. The things obtained from devouring monsters and devouring humans seemed a bit different; there was an extra, strange Dragon Bloodline.

【Dragon Bloodline: Current concentration 0.00001%, effect: unknown.】

Afterward, Ye Lin killed and devoured another monster, but this time, the concentration of the Dragon Bloodline did not increase.

"I suppose it must be something the target itself possessed for it to transfer to me." Ye Lin muttered to himself. It seemed this Endless Devour ability still had many things waiting for him to explore.

However, Ye Lin didn't have time to think about this in detail now.

He carried the ice coffin and killed his way back. While killing, Ye Lin cleaned up the battlefield with Endless Devour; the monsters near Qingcheng simply couldn't stop Ye Lin, who was going all out.

The physical bodies of monsters were far stronger than those of humans, so every time he devoured a monster, Ye Lin's strength attribute could be greatly enhanced.

When he returned to Qingcheng, Ye Lin clearly felt that his physical strength had been greatly improved; he could even engage in hand-to-hand combat with some low-level monsters without using any forbidden spells.

For a Forbidden Spellcaster, this was clearly extremely incredible.

The ice coffin on his shoulder, which had been somewhat heavy, now felt light. Ye Lin carried the ice coffin to the gate of Student Zhuge Qianxing's small courtyard, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

Soon, the courtyard gate was opened. Seeing the person at the door, Student Zhuge Ni smiled like a flower, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"Ling Ye! You're finally back. Where is my father? Did he agree to take you as his apprentice?"
