Chapter 323: The Strange Capsule

Watching Ye Lin's earnest expression, Si Sui felt a bit suspicious, but he did not say anything more.

He led Ye Lin to a low, small wooden house. Ye Lin pushed the door open, and sunlight filtered through the greenery on the windowsill, spilling onto the log-built floor and creating mottled shadows.

The fresh flowers on the windowsill swayed gently with the breeze, like a graceful dancer. The air was filled with the clear scent of wood and a faint floral fragrance, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

A delicate wind chime hung on the door of the wooden house, emitting a crisp tinkling sound the moment it was opened.

The interior of the wooden house was very simple, containing only a large bed, a desk, and two stools. Looking out the window, one could see a garden.

It had to be said that the living conditions in this City of God were truly impeccable.

"If you need anything, you can come directly to me. Just find any living being and tell them you are looking for Si Sui, and they will bring you over," Si Sui said with a smile.

"Alright," Ye Lin nodded obediently. "By the way, Si Sui, what level is your bloodline?"

"Imperial level."

Si Sui's words made Ye Lin's teeth ache; no wonder he had felt such intense pressure the moment Si Sui appeared.

It turned out this guy was an existence of the same level as the Soul-Devouring Empress.

If Lin Qi counted as well, then he had already encountered two of the three invincible existences predicted by Bai Si.

"Are there many people with your level of strength in the City of God?" Ye Lin pressed.

"I am the only demon with an Imperial-level bloodline," Si Sui slowly lowered his gaze, looking at Ye Lin with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "However... there is also a human at the Bright Moon Realm."

Ye Lin immediately behaved himself. The Bright Moon Realm—that was the same level as his father-in-law Xie Hong, that man who had a son but no asshole.

"Understood. Si Sui, tell me about the rules of the City of God!"

"Those who enter the City of God must abandon all desires. The City of God does not allow any lies to exist, nor does it allow quarrels, fighting, arson, looting, or rape. Killing is strictly prohibited."

Si Sui flipped his wrist, and a transparent capsule appeared in the center of his palm.

"Eat it. This is a gift from the God; it will ensure that you are never troubled by desires from now on."

Ye Lin took the capsule and swallowed it directly without even looking at it.

After swallowing the capsule, Ye Lin suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had entered a state of absolute sage mode after masturbating hundreds of times.

Everything in the world seemed to have lost its meaning to him; beautiful women appeared as withered bones, delicious food tasted like excrement, and beautiful scenery looked like ruins in his eyes.

Si Sui nodded in satisfaction.

"If there is nothing else, I will be going now. I wish you a pleasant stay in the City of God."

"Alright, bye-bye~"

Ye Lin smiled brightly and waved goodbye to Si Sui. The moment he closed the door after watching Si Sui walk away, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

He first checked the wooden house for any surveillance equipment. After confirming there was none, he closed the window and pulled down the tablecloth to block the view. He then immediately began to gag himself, wanting to vomit out the capsule he had just swallowed—this thing was definitely not anything good!

Seeing that he had vomited for a long time and nothing came out, Ye Lin cut open his own abdomen and pulled out his stomach. But when he sliced open his stomach, it was completely empty except for gastric acid; there was no sign of the capsule at all.

"It melted that fast?"

Ye Lin was shocked. Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and performed the Disintegration Technique, instantly breaking himself down into a pile of atoms.

Yet, there was one piece of bright red flesh in his body that did not disintegrate. With a plop, it fell to the ground like a half-melted popsicle.

Ye Lin, in his atomic state, quickly reconstructed his body. He could clearly feel that all his worldly desires had returned.

The mass of bright red flesh seemed to realize something and began to squirm frantically. It was eerie and disgusting; tentacles stretched out from the flesh, long and flexible, covered in sticky, transparent bodily fluids, and lunged toward Ye Lin's body.

Ye Lin held the Imperial Gold Spear and pierced the flesh directly, hoisting it into mid-air.

"So this is the God's method? An Evil God, is it!"

Ye Lin frowned. So, every living being in the City of God had a disgusting thing like this inside them? Was this the thing that allowed them to stop eating and lose all desires?

Ye Lin gripped the mass of bright red flesh in his hand. It seemed to sense something and, as its tentacles squirmed to burrow into Ye Lin's body, Ye Lin suddenly activated Endless Devour!

The bright red flesh was instantly decomposed and devoured. Vaguely, Ye Lin seemed to hear a sharp, miserable scream.

【Devoured Unspeakable Creature Fragment *1, obtained???】

【Increased Lifespan EXP by 12, 00 points, increased Strength attribute by 107 points, Agility attribute by 80 points, and Spiritual Power by 113 points.】

Ye Lin: "???"

At this moment, Ye Lin was completely confused. He had used Endless Devour so many times, but this was the first time it displayed three question marks after devouring something.

What exactly was the origin of the capsule Si Sui had fed him?

To be safe, Ye Lin disintegrated himself several more times on the spot. Only after confirming that the eerie thing was truly gone did he feel relieved.

The entire City of God, inside and out, exuded an indescribable sense of eeriness.

However, Ye Lin's mind began to race. Although he didn't know the origin of that eerie thing, the EXP it provided was truly not low!

Devouring just one gave 12, 00 EXP; that was comparable to hunting ten level-60 high-level monsters.

If every creature in the City of God had that eerie thing inside them... Ye Lin's smile gradually became maniacal.

He definitely couldn't start causing trouble openly; after all, he couldn't beat Si Sui or that Bright Moon Realm existence that hadn't appeared yet.

Ye Lin quickly finalized his combat strategy: no loud noises, sneak into the village quietly!

He began to ponder the rules of the City of God. First, the City of God strictly prohibited quarrels, fighting, arson, looting, and rape, and it also forbade lying. This meant that the people in the City of God should be quite easy to deceive, right?

Ye Lin's train of thought suddenly opened up. The City of God did not allow lying; didn't that mean that as long as he lied, he could easily trick people?

To verify his hypothesis, Ye Lin immediately used One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, leaving a clone in the room to create a solid alibi.

Then, his original body disintegrated, leaving behind only a small piece of skin debris.

The clone picked up the piece of skin debris, opened the door, and peered outside.

A woman with a slender figure passed by carrying a water jug; it was Xi You'ai, whom Ye Lin had just met. Ye Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he waved at Xi You'ai.

"Hey, big sister!"

"Big sister~ come here, I have something good, I'll show you a big treasure!"

(My condition hasn't been great these past few days, so I've updated a bit less. I will make up for it with five chapters tonight; I won't sleep until I finish them.)
