“Mm.” Ye Yingyuan felt the soup with the vegetables and herbs in it were so delicious and rich in taste that he devoured it to his stomach in one go!

“How is it?” seeing her soup was eaten like that made Li Ling nervous. She had an expectation for this so she felt anxious hearing the answer fro him. After some gulped and a long sigh, Ye Yingyuan finished the soup.

Even he could directly feel the surge of the energies within the soup inside his stomach and he directed it to his pillar. He used it to refine the pillar so his foundation would get stronger.

“It really is good.” Ye Yingyuan said while remembering his defeat at the hands of his cousin.

-

“Why is it not working?” Ye Yingyuan dejectedly ask. Prior to his defeat, Ye Yingyuan used his flame to spread far and wide. What he intended to do with this was of course to try something that he recently had in mind.

But sadly, that was the fatal mistake which almost endangered his safety. ‘I thought that the sounds also had the energy behind them so I assumed that y fire could extinguish them but the result...’ Ye Yingyuan did not regret his decision.

Instead, this made him realized not to underestimate the enemy even with his advantage which was the body constitution. At the yard, Ye Yingyuan laid on the ground with countless scars across his body and his clothes tattered to the point that he almost naked.

“Are you fine? Quick take this!” Ye Xiaobai gave him a Restoration Pill which could restore the body parts that injured to Ye Yingyuan’s mouth, forcing him to swallow it in one breath.

*cough* Ye Yingyuan then felt the pill worked in his body, slowly healed all of his injuries. This scene was the one that Wang Yu watched for the last time before following Manstein.

“Thank you.” Said Ye Yingyuan. And we came to the start again when Ye Yingyuan asked about the reason behind his defeat.

“Because I know that you have body constitution. Besides that, your flame still too weak for that purpose you know.” To cheer Ye Yingyuan, Ye Xiaobai said that.

“Still too early, does that mean one day my flame can use energy from the others as a source?” this point made Ye Yingyuan had the motivation to reach that level!

Ye Xiaobai nodded to show that he answered ‘yes’. Then Ye Xiaobai extended his hands and Ye Yingyuan received it. Together they left the yard.

-

Recalling every scene with detail, Ye Yingyuan then placed the bowl back and finished the last bit of energy to absorb. He looked at Li Ling only to see her eyes blinking at him. This manner made him awkward and could not say a word.

“Alright, I return the bowl.” Ye Yingyuan then stood up and held the bowl before continuing, “Li Ling, you should go to the main chamber before my family closed it for several hours.”

“No, I will accompany you.”

That was the condition after he ate but the situation was different for another person. Only a soul and faced with Ye family’s Nascent Interceptor Formation made hi remembered the old days.

“This is really old but they still keep it. Even the originality of it does not change a bit and instead have some development.” Wang Yu obviously had a higher cultivation, therefore, he understood every place this formation could reach.

Then he heard a conversation between a man and a woman. It was in a room that closed from the outside and from the situation, they were going somewhere.

“Only lack time. We need to gather the gentleness of the moonlight to let the Void Stone transformed and then we can proceed!” it was said by the woman. She had this aura which could suppress ordinary people to their knees.

But the man unaffected by that. In fact, he smiled while facing her and explained, “Of course I know about that. But this body construction method can only work for once and will not work for repetitive use.”

That was the weakness of the method he had proposed. Because even the greatest method had flaws and other things which could be categorized as a threat.

“Looks like I really understand about that book now.” Wang Yu then recalled the part that Manstein doubt about it but could not explain why.

“It’s true that since her appearance, the usage of Violetblood stone increased several folds but there is some terrifying secrets behind it.” Wang Yu wanted to continue his words but got interrupted by the discussion of the two.

“Then for the seperation process...” the man spoke his next concern. He thought about it but still had no concrete solution. Then the woman grabbed his hands, forcing hi to move to another place.

A large energy centered around the mountain. At the peak of the mountain, there were three people that sitting cross legged.

At this time, a cauldron was on the verge of breaking and cracks spread across the surface of it. But there were traces of the pills being formed inside the cauldron at the same time. The one who made the pills was a woman and she furrowed her brows while her sweat dropped and her energy from her cultivation base almost depleted.

“We need to support her!” Wei Lian said anxiously. Even when the situation was dire, Hou Fei would not lose his cool so easily so he said, “At this time, even I can’t help her. So how can you say such thing?”

“Don’t worry, the only thing that will lose from this place surely the cauldron she currently used.” Hou Fei sighed.

‘That was the first cauldron she ever got from him and she still stored it until now.’ No other choice but to comply to her wish, Hou Fei just looked and calmed Wei Liang to not rush to the place.

As the cauldron let out a cracking sound, all of them could feel the pill inside finished!

“Done, extract!” then after a long refining, Wu Qing used her five fingers to directly open the cauldron. She quickly grabbed the pills before went further from the cauldron. Soon after that, explosion sound could be heard by the three of them.

Using their energy to protect their body, they could withstand the power of the explosion and even remained still at their place.

“Are you injured?” seeing the figure of someone appeared made Wei Liang checked his surroundings. The mountain’s peak now turned into a small crater due to the explosion but fortunately, no living being was around.

“I’m fine. Please take a look.” The pill that Wu Qing had created was safe. It had a small craving which only cultivators could recognize at one glance.

“This is..the ranked pill!” Wei Liang breathed out the air that filled his lungs. Some of it also contained his energy and this could be used by anyone. The purpose of this was obvious, to help Wu Qing restore her energy reserves.

“It’s true!” Hou Fei also saw the ill. When a pill was categorized as ranked, the quality increased and the effect could only be heard through the rumors and information.

“Why!? Why did you do all of this? I don’t understand.” Wei Liang placed his hands on his forehead. He could not comprehend what Wu Qing had done. But Hou Fei’s eyes then had a glint before he concealed it.

“Even if I tell you now, you will not understand it.” Feeling dejected to say that, Wu Qing instead collected the remains of the cauldron which scattered around the crater.

“What are you talking about? There’s no way I will refuse a request from you.” In the mayor’s hall, Li Dian had a conversation with someone.

“But will you really do it for the sake of my request?” It was the man that always become the spokesperson for the mayor and Ye family, Ye Guhan. This was his primary job because of a promise with someone long ago.

“Of course! After all, our relation will only increase in the future. So you wanted to adopt someone?” Li Dian wondered about it. He knew that Ye Guhan had become the single parent of his only son.

‘I really curious about it. Now his expression showed that he was happy about it.’ Thought LI Dian. Indeed, Ye Guhan’s face now looked more bright and a rare smile would appear on his face sometimes.

‘Ah, Brother Canghai said that the soul will regain the new body but don’t know whether to be happy or guilty about it.’ On another side, Ye Guhan’s thought about what Ye Canghai had told him about.

‘If you wanted an adopted son then I can deliver it to you!’ said Ye Canghai when he met Ye Guhan. But when he heard the details from Yu Feng, his face became pale.

‘You negotiated with that soul to become my son and both party agreed to do their part!’ but in the end, what his brother did was just to let him lead a happy life. And this was also the most basic principle of Ye family.

“Yes, so can you tell the citizens later that a new member will join them?” this was the real intention behind Ye Guhan’s visit this time. And beside this cause, six years later would become the day when they had the tie with each other.

“Sure.”

“...and then I feel this strange sensation before I realized that I came to another place, another world.” Alice narrated her story. But from her explanation, Manstein also found a similar case with himself.

“You said that you feel that strange sensation, right? Did it feel like your connection with your body really gone without any trace left?” asked Manstein. He also ordered Intelligent Assistance Device to record the sounds so that everything could be repeated for further investigation.

“Yes, that seems like the case. Why did you ask?” because of their same world origin, Alice and Manstein could understand each other thought.

“Is it related to the Soul Transfer method?” Alice then understood why Manstein askec but the replied made her thin otherwise.

“Strange, something’s fishy.” Manstein also felt the strange sensation but there was an addition in it. He fell into darkness before he regained his awareness and consciousness. But he could not completely comprehend it so he threw it away for Intelligence Assistance Device to store it inside its large memory.

“Do you want me to help you in this case?” Alice offered her help but Manstein rejected it.

“No, thanks. It’s better if I solve it myself. Besides, are you fine with giving him such a technique?” Manstein should have known that with her involvement in this world, she would have some great technique.

But Alice surpassed his expectation because she became the forgotten important figure. But deep inside Manstein, he felt glad that this happened.

“It’s their right to obtain it. I also detected their Nascent Interceptor Formation within the entire residence.”

Alice then showed Manstein the complete form of this kind of formation. This formation was a natural alarm and guard because it was her creation based on the latest security system in her world.

“But this Intelligence Assistance Device, what they had done to it?” Manstein then asked. ‘You said that after my disappearance, everyone in the world appreciates my works and thus gives this crappy device everything they got that time.’

“Everything!” Alice said without hesitation. “But what does that ‘everything’ mean?” this made Manstein confused instead of knowing the thing the device got.

“Every information which existed in our world, Senior Manstein! I still not fully explore its potential but this device will be the last thing which reminds us of our origin.”

But they also knew that there were restriction in the device which was strange.

Other than that, they prepared to face the big event which became the start of Manstein’s new life in this world.
