Chapter 343: Regaining Freedom, Ye Bai Enters the Eighth Grade!
After listening to what Hehuan Shangren had to say, Ye Bai suddenly felt that being drained for three whole days wasn't entirely without its benefits.
"Little brother, sister is leaving now~"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. You don't need to go to the Hehuan Tower anymore."
"From now on, you are my personal possession. I wouldn't want such a good toy to be used by others."
"Not only that, I will also provide you with a batch of cultivation resources. On the days I don't come to see you, you must strive to become stronger and reach the Second Step as soon as possible."
"After all, it wasn't easy for me to get you; I wouldn't want you to die because your cultivation wasn't high enough, even if your divine body couldn't save you!"
So spoke Hehuan Shangren!
She liked Ye Bai more and more, so Ye Bai wouldn't have to face the prospect of being forced into the Hehuan Tower in a month's time!
Not only that.
"And then, little brother Ye Bai, starting today, you can choose to continue learning the languages of the Profound Origin World, so you won't be unable to integrate into it in the future."
"In your spare time, you can also move freely within my Moyuan City. I hope that every time I see you, you are happy~"
Hehuan Shangren added.
This great demonic cultivator had actually granted Ye Bai freedom, allowing him to walk at will within her "mansion" and even the entire Moyuan City!
This meant that not only did Ye Bai not have to worry about the events of a month later, but the possibility of him escaping Moyuan City had also skyrocketed.
Of course, Hehuan Shangren wasn't completely indulgent toward Ye Bai.
She couldn't possibly believe that Ye Bai, who had been kidnapped by her, would honestly stay in Moyuan City just because of the pleasure she had brought him over the past three days.
Therefore, before leaving, she also gave Ye Bai a warning.
The entire Moyuan City was under her control!
Because he had been intimate with her, she could sense exactly where Ye Bai was in Moyuan City at any moment!
So, Ye Bai had best not have any thoughts of escaping, or the consequences would be very, very serious!
Ye Bai listened, then immediately threw the warning to the back of his mind.
Staying honestly in Moyuan City would be the consequence he couldn't accept!
Once Hehuan Shangren's figure had completely vanished, Ye Bai finally let out a sigh of relief. He placed his hand on his chest, took out the doll, and prepared to try and wake the Four Saints from their state of sensory deprivation.
He wasn't sure if Hehuan Shangren would monitor this place with her mental power after leaving to see if he had any unusual behavior.
However, over the past three days, because he had no clothes on, Hehuan Shangren had long since seen the doll hidden in his bosom. At the time, he had explained that it was something his mother had given him before he left home, so he could look at it when he missed her.
Hehuan Shangren hadn't been suspicious.
Clearly, the craftsmanship of the doll made by Dansheng was up to the task.
Therefore, he took out the doll now, and even if Hehuan Shangren saw it, she wouldn't suspect anything.
The hardest part—explaining his talent—had already passed!
"Beep, beep, are you there?"
"If you're there, make a sound."
Simple mental power or Qi and Blood couldn't wake the Four Saints.
Ye Bai finally thought of the method of pouring both mental power and Qi and Blood into the doll simultaneously.
"Squeak." Surprisingly, this worked. Soon, Wu Changsheng's mental transmission echoed in Ye Bai's mind.
"Master, has your talent been exposed? Have you been thrown into a dungeon? Do you have any last words for us?"
"Go ahead, we're listening. But even if we wanted to, we can't leave the dungeon, and even if we could, we aren't sure if we could bring your words back to Blue Star while unable to maintain human form for long."
Wu Changsheng sighed heavily.
The source soul power split off by the Four Saints was actually rootless duckweed; without replenishment, it would continuously weaken as it was used.
The other three saints, although their consciousness had recovered, simply didn't speak.
Although they had sealed their five senses and didn't know what Ye Bai had experienced, they still had a clear perception of the passage of time.
Three whole days!
Ye Bai had been processed by Hehuan Shangren for three whole days; how could he possibly still have any secrets?
Therefore, they were heavy-hearted.
As for mental scanning, they were naturally afraid and didn't dare to do so.
"Pfft, pfft, what last words? Can't you wish me something good?"
Ye Bai's face darkened.
"The danger is temporarily gone. Not only that, I don't have to go to the Hehuan Tower in a month, and starting now, I have the ability to move freely here and even throughout Moyuan City!"
Then, ignoring Wu Changsheng's confusion, Ye Bai recounted what he had gained over the past three days.
"Holy crap! Holy crap!"
"Master, are you serious?!"
Wu Changsheng was shocked beyond belief.
He thought Ye Bai was joking.
"No, Master, we know many people call you the White God, but this is too divine, isn't it?"
"You were facing Hehuan Shangren, a being theoretically thousands of times stronger than us, and not only did you avoid danger, but you also captured the heart of a Third Step Hehuan Shangren?!"
After Ye Bai briefly explained the reason, Wu Changsheng was even more shocked.
The other three saints were the same.
They had thought it was a dead end.
A dead end with zero chance of survival.
How did Ye Bai manage to turn a dead end into a living one after they woke up?
"Holy crap, Master, how did you reach the Eighth Grade?!"
"No, what top-tier treasure did Hehuan Shangren use to help you? She's being way too good to you, isn't she?"
Wu Changsheng then sensed the intensity of the Qi and Blood pouring into the doll from Ye Bai, and was awestruck.
Ye Bai realized something was wrong too.
【Name: Ye Bai】
【Qi and Blood: (Eighth Grade Initial Stage / Mortal Realm Late Stage)】
【Qi and Blood Domain: Startling Thunder Domain (50.78%)】
【Lifespan: 11,000 years, 2 months, 3 days, 16 hours】
On the panel, his Qi and Blood value had broken through to twenty million points, and his lifespan had increased to twenty thousand years!
Looking inward at his whole body, it was covered in golden light; his Immortal Golden Body had been completely forged!
Dense amounts of Immortal Qi, far exceeding what an ordinary Eighth Grade Martial Saint could theoretically possess, filled his entire body!
His power was dozens of times stronger than before!
"When did I reach the Eighth Grade?!"
Ye Bai hadn't dared to use the bug to improve his strength over the past three days while Hehuan Shangren was by his side.
Aging and then becoming young again—wouldn't that just be telling Hehuan Shangren there was something wrong with him?
"Could this be the origin of the name 'Hehuan' (Union of Joy)?"
"Yin and Yang in harmony, both parties benefit?"
Ye Bai speculated.
He also understood why Hehuan Shangren had provided him with resources and why she said she could know his location at any time.
Her power had poured into his body, helping him complete the forging of the Immortal Golden Body, which would have required a massive amount of lifespan points even if the system store had updated with the item!
However, what Ye Bai didn't know was that ordinary people had no chance of benefiting from being with Hehuan Shangren; they were purely there to be drained.
Even Ye Bai had been like that at the beginning.
It was only in the last few hours, because Hehuan Shangren had drained enough, that there was a rebound, and a tiny bit of power was fed back into Ye Bai...
The first few times had no effect and were swallowed up.
But in the final half-hour, it had completely helped Ye Bai finish forging his Immortal Golden Body.
The gap between the First Step Mortal Realm and the Third Step was even larger than Ye Bai and the Four Saints had imagined...
