Chapter 113: Spiritual Mark

We had agreed that everyone would each find a bed they liked; at first we could still walk together and recommend beds to each other, but later we gradually dispersed, leaving only Ye Xi'an and Lin Zhi Jing in an area resembling a princess style.

These beds were not made of wooden planks; Ye Xi'an could not tell what material the planks were, only that they were very sturdy, the joints were finely crafted, and if you didn't look closely you couldn't see the seams; with such craftsmanship, even if there were great pressure on top, they probably wouldn't wobble or make creaking sounds.

Moreover, the beds came with built-in mattresses; when Ye Xi'an was choosing, she first looked at the bed's style, then felt the material, and then lay down fully to feel the comfort.

Until she found one where, once she lay down, she didn't want to get up.

She closed her eyes, like a cat pretending to sleep, her whole body sinking into the mattress, lazily stretching, a satisfied smile on her face.

The mattress beside her made a sinking sound; Ye Xi'an startled, opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw Lin Zhi Jing lying beside her.

The two ignored the onlookers' gazes, lay on the bed facing each other, and the atmosphere felt a bit strange.

"It's indeed very comfortable," Lin Zhi Jing said; if the bed weren't too pink, he would have gotten the same model as Ye Xi'an.

Ye Xi'an's face showed a proud smile: "Of course, I picked it."

Lin Zhi Jing's smile remained unchanged, but his tone shifted: "When are you going to spiritually mark me?"

The proud smile froze; Ye Xi'an turned her head away, thinking: I also want to know when to mark, but she simply wouldn't mark. Otherwise, another day we could find a time and just give it a try.

"When do you want to mark?"

Lin Zhi Jing said without hesitation: "We can do it now."

"Wouldn't that be too hasty?"

Speaking of how a male's spiritual mark is a lifelong matter, suddenly Ye Xi'an thought of something, her tone somewhat teasing: "Oh, right. You're a Grey Eyebrow Snake, you can undo your own spiritual mark."

As soon as she said that, Lin Zhi Jing's face instantly turned cold; in the blink of an eye he flipped onto Ye Xi'an, pressing her down with an oppressive presence.

His expression was somewhat stern and frightening, his back teeth clenched tight as if enduring something: "Ye Xi'an, is this really what you think of me?"

Lin Zhi Jing stared fixedly at Ye Xi'an, unwilling to miss any of her expressions; he suspected that Ye Xi'an had actually been resentful all along about his beast form being a Grey Eyebrow Snake, which was why she kept delaying the spiritual mark.

Seeing Lin Zhi Jing angry, Ye Xi'an realized she had misspoken, unconsciously growing a bit nervous: "I didn't mean it that way."

"Then mark me now."

Ye Xi'an wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat, neither up nor down; she truly didn't know how to mark.

All she could do was show a pitiful, pleading look: "How about you let me try?"

Lin Zhi Jing saw Ye Xi'an lower her stance, his tone softened: "You're female, you shouldn't be so polite to me; I spoke to you like that just now, you'd be justified in beating me to death."

He got off Ye Xi'an, sat on the bed's edge, his gray eyes fixed on her: "Just try however you like; if you mess it up, it's fine."

Consider it payback for her previous drug-testing grudge.

"Hmm." Ye Xi'an nodded solemnly and began to feel out how to mark.

"Isn't that wrong?" Could it be that I don't know, and Lin Zhi Jing also doesn't know how to mark? "Do you know how to mark?"

Lin Zhi Jing paused: "You don't know how to mark?"

Then how did she mark Bao Jing and the other three? Could it be just another excuse to appease him?

"I really don't know; if you do, could you tell me? Or could we use your Light Brain to search?"

Lin Zhi Jing saw Ye Xi'an's earnest expression, not like she was lying; he pursed his lips, although he doubted the truth of her words, but searching wouldn't take much effort.

"We males aren't spiritual types, so we don't know how to mark females." Lin Zhi Jing furtively glanced at Ye Xi'an, making sure her gaze was on him, then continued: "I've never been marked before, so I know little about spiritual marking."

"All I know is that after being marked, the female and male have a slight connection in perception, and their lives are linked together." Although it's the male unilaterally tying his life to the female's, this is indeed a deep bond.

"Alright, alright, I know, don't say more." Ye Xi'an now just wanted to quickly find the marking method, not wanting to hear Lin Zhi Jing's irrelevant talk: "Just use the Light Brain to search; the Light Brain surely has it."

Seeing Ye Xi'an completely not getting his meaning, he resentfully bit his lip, then typed into the Light Brain search engine: "How do females spiritually mark?"

The search results came out quickly:

(A female's spiritual mark on a male is a connection that transcends the physical plane, usually initiated by the female individual, used to establish an exclusive bond with a specific male.

This process may involve supernatural mechanisms such as consciousness infiltration, emotional resonance, and energy imprinting; concretely manifested as follows:

1. Consciousness infiltration

The female uses mental power to infiltrate the male's mental domain, planting a unique mental frequency or emotional imprint in his subconscious.

2. Energy imprint

The female releases a special mental power suppression, etching an intangible imprint onto the male's energy cognition.

Marking process: the female releases mental threads, which seep in from between the male's eyebrows, locate his mental core, wrap the threads around it, and then cut off the excess left above.

Usage of the mark:.)

"How is it?" Lin Zhi Jing suppressed his nervousness and asked Ye Xi'an: "Can you mark now?"

Ye Xi'an felt a bit guilty; having read the theory, she just didn't know how it would work in practice: "Should be about right."

"Come on, come on."

Lin Zhi Jing narrowed his eyes, a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Mm!"

Then, without a glance at the resentful look of the bed-selling guy, he began the mental power marking.

Lin Zhi Jing still kept a trick up his sleeve, placing a nanorobot beside them; he always carried this device, and it would sound an alarm if it sensed someone unusually close approaching.

Ye Xi'an followed what the search engine said, extending mental threads, and wondered: should she use one or how many?

Forget it, first tie one; if it's too few we can add more later, but if it's too many we don't know what the consequences would be.

Mental threads sprouted from Ye Xi'an's body, entering Lin Zhi Jing's forehead; as they entered, all of Ye Xi'an's attention focused on Lin Zhi Jing's mind.

Around was a sea of red, but one could see an object emitting a milky-white halo; manipulating the mental threads to approach clarified it: it was a crystal resembling natural quartz.

This must be it, right?
