Chapter 9: 009. The Evilly Charming Man

009. The Evil Man

Yun Qin looked around nervously; besides her and Hong Xiao on the couch, there was no one else in the room.

"Pfft!" As if amused by her nervousness, a wild and arrogant laugh rang out.

Yun Qin was about to look around again when the voice said, "Stop looking, this Seat is not a human..."

"Pffft!" Yun Qin sprayed out directly. This person was truly hilarious, actually claiming he wasn't human.

The man seemed able to hear her inner thoughts, and he immediately gritted his teeth. "You little brat, what this Seat means is that I am merely a phantom, existing within your sea of consciousness."

"Oh." Yun Qin understood what the sea of consciousness was.

She immediately sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and mobilized her divine sense to enter her sea of consciousness. Inside, it was as dark as ink, but a single point of light in the center was exceptionally eye-catching.

To her surprise, she was actually a complete image within it, completely overturning the perceptions in the original body's memories.

She slowly walked closer and discovered that the light was a golden, throne-like chair, upon which a man wearing a black robe that exposed a broad chest lay half-reclined lazily. His long legs were crossed, one hand rested on the back of the chair, and the other held a luminous goblet filled with wine, taking small sips with extreme ease.

White mist swirled around his facial features, making it impossible to see his face clearly. However, since he called himself "this Seat" and could enter her sea of consciousness, his abilities were not to be underestimated.

"Who are you?"

"Little one, who this Seat is doesn't matter. You only need to know that this Seat can repair your dantian."

Yun Qin was ecstatic inwardly, but her surface remained calm. "Truly?"

"Heh." The man laughed. "Little one, there is no need to hide your emotions in front of this Venerable, because any concealment is futile before this Seat's eyes."

Yun Qin felt a bit annoyed; there was absolutely no privacy. How was this any different from standing naked in front of him?

"Hahahaha..." The man seemed amused by her expression, or perhaps he had seen through her thoughts, as he laughed with extreme arrogance. "Don't worry, little one, this Seat will not exist in your sea of consciousness forever."

Hearing this, Yun Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She crossed her arms and looked at the man composedly. "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Speak, what are your conditions?"

The man seemed very satisfied with Yun Qin's intelligence. Beneath the white mist, the man's deep red pupils flickered. "Conditions? Naturally, there are! But as for what they are, this Seat hasn't decided yet. Do you dare to accept?"

"It seems I don't have much of a choice, do I?"

She had occupied the original body's body and had to seek justice for the original body's death; she also had to find Wu Xie. Furthermore, in this other world where strength was supreme, having no spiritual power meant being a "waste" as Yun Mo would say.

In her past life, she was a genius, and she didn't want to be a waste in this life either!

The man curled his lips into an evil smirk. "In that case, this Seat can take it as your agreement."

Next, the man taught Yun Qin a few incantations and told her something that left her speechless.

It turned out that her original dantian was so completely shattered that even a Spirit Repairing Pill could not fix it. However, when she had transmigrated, the Black and White Holy Beads had been brought along and were stored within her body. The White Holy Bead had replaced her dantian, while the Black Holy Bead had transformed into a space. As long as she refined them according to his incantations—taking three months at most or one month at least—she would possess a portable space that no one else had and a powerful dantian unlike ordinary people.

But how did this fellow know about the Black and White Holy Beads and the fact that her soul had transmigrated?

Just as Yun Qin wanted to ask for the truth, the man vanished with a *whoosh*, leaving only the golden throne standing there arrogantly, looking incredibly ostentatious.

Yun Qin's mouth twitched. She left the sea of consciousness and mobilized her consciousness, unable to wait to peer into her own dantian.

Having the original body's "Library of a Hundred Books" was indeed a great thing; as soon as she thought of what she wanted to do, the original body's memories would guide her on how to do it.
