Luo Ren lay still on the ground, the beautiful woman leaning lazily against his chest, feeling the synchronized rhythm of their heartbeats. Both silently savored the rare warmth.
Her delicate finger traced circles on Luo Ren's chest. Yan Ruoxue couldn't help but lift her head and softly ask:
"Little Nan, your eyes?"
Her voice trembled slightly, and a pang of pain in her heart made her chest heave uncontrollably.
Knowing he couldn't hide it from her, Luo Ren smiled reassuringly: "It's just temporary blindness. Don't worry, I have a plan. Don't be anxious."
Yan Ruoxue was displeased with his answer. Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered: "I want to know the reason that led you to this state."
Unable to bear hiding it from her, Luo Ren revealed his identity, recounting everything from his lack of spirit roots since childhood, to the torment he endured, and even the gouging out of his eyes. Only the awakening of the System and his transmigration were concealed. He merely said that a master had helped him by imparting a legacy, after which he feigned death to escape the Luo Clan and seek a chance to rise.
It wasn't that Luo Ren didn't trust her. Kim Nhi had told him that if anyone else learned of the System's existence, the System would erase them, and he, the Host, would also be destroyed by the System.
Luo Ren dared not take that risk, so he concealed it from her.
Listening to Luo Ren's low narration, Yan Ruoxue cried silently.
She leaned up and caressed the area around his eyes, kissing his face all over, wishing she could merge with him to comfort and make up for his suffering.
"Damned Luo Clan, I, Yan Ruoxue, will ensure you suffer eternally in this life!"
She swore an oath in her heart, which continued to ache.
"Ding! Junior Insight Talisman is about to expire." A reminder sounded.
From the moment Luo Ren used the Insight Talisman until now, only 24 hours had passed, yet his life had changed as dramatically as heaven and earth. All thanks to the System.
Patting and comforting the crying beauty in his arms, Luo Ren smiled and said: "Don't be sad anymore. I'm about to see you with my own eyes."
Yan Ruoxue looked up at him, seeing his face filled with confidence. Her heart calmed, and she curiously asked: "How will you do that?"
Luo Ren didn't speak. In his mind, he issued an order:
"Proceed with Heaven-grade summon, designate 'eye' type magical treasure."
"Ding! Host, confirm designated Heaven-grade magical treasure?"
"Yes."
Luo Ren still had the Heaven-grade summon reward he received for completing the hidden mission of scheming against the Luo Clan. Ever since he obtained this reward, he had known what he wanted to summon, so he never worried about his eyesight.
"Ding! Commencing Heaven-grade summon: 20, 19, 18… 3… 2… 1."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving White Moon Soul-Stealing Eye, a Low-grade Heaven-grade magical treasure. Temporarily stored in System space."
Luo Ren frowned slightly. This time, his luck didn't seem too great; it turned out to be a low-grade item. However, even low-grade, a Heaven-grade item wasn't bad. Luo Ren thought, and with a mental command.
A large, round eye appeared, pure silver-white in color, with a crescent moon floating mysteriously within its pupil.
White Moon Soul-Stealing Eye Grade: Low-grade Heaven-grade (can evolve) Origin: White Moon Clan Effect: See through thousands of miles, see through weaknesses, steal souls Note: Power greatly increases under moonlight.
A drop of Luo Ren's blood merged with it. Information about the White Moon Soul-Stealing Eye flooded his mind, and at this moment, the eye miraculously settled into Luo Ren's empty right eye socket, as if he had possessed it since birth.
"See? I told you not to worry."
Luo Ren slightly rolled his mysterious silver-white eyeball, smiling at Yan Ruoxue. By now, the Insight Talisman had completely expired, and Luo Ren was gazing at her with his own eyes.
Yan Ruoxue gazed blankly at Luo Ren. That mysterious white eye increased his charm countless times. She felt her entire soul being drawn into it.
"Am I handsome?" Luo Ren playfully pecked her cheek.
"Hmph, handsome my foot. You're still a one-eyed dragon," Yan Ruoxue gently snapped, touching his still empty left eye, a pang of tenderness in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'll have two eyes eventually," Luo Ren replied nonchalantly.
After a pause, he continued: "Tell me your story. Was someone forcing you to marry?"
Luo Ren hadn't forgotten that she had desperately cultivated to avoid becoming a tool for marriage.
Yan Ruoxue shook her head, explaining:
"My sect is the Hundred Flowers Sect, a Seventh-rank cultivation force. Each generation, three Saintesses are chosen from among the sect's 100 core disciples."
"The three Saintesses will have the opportunity to become the sect master's successor, while the other eliminated core disciples must marry geniuses from other forces when the sect demands it."
"This has been the rule of the Hundred Flowers Sect for generations. Everything is explained when one chooses to join the sect; there is no coercion."
Luo Ren frowned: "Political marriages?"
Yan Ruoxue nodded, saying: "The Hundred Flowers Sect only accepts female disciples. These alliances are to develop the sect and establish close relationships with other forces."
She continued:
"I am an orphan. When I was little, my master, the Second Elder of the sect, took me in and diligently nurtured me as if I were her own daughter. I don't want to go against the sect's orders, nor do I want to marry a stranger. That's why I worked so hard to compete for the Saintess position, which led to this incident."
"Was the competition that fierce? You were already at complete Golden Core, and still not confident of securing a Saintess position?"
Luo Ren was curious. Yan Ruoxue was only in her early twenties, possessed two spirit roots, and had complete Golden Core cultivation, yet she was desperate to break through to Nascent Soul to compete.
"The rule is that core disciples under 25 years old can compete for Saintess. I'm just over 20, still a few years younger than my senior sisters. Among the 100 disciples participating this time, two have already broken through to early-stage Nascent Soul. I felt pressured, so I recklessly attempted to break through," Yan Ruoxue explained with a wry smile. Although her talent was high, she was at a disadvantage in terms of years of cultivation.
Looking at Luo Ren, she happily continued: "But you are my savior, not only helping me break through successfully but also comprehending Profound Water. This time, I'm 90% confident I'll secure a Saintess position."
Luo Ren nodded in relief. He didn't believe that a mere Seventh-rank sect could have a disciple of her generation who could surpass her.
One must know that even in an Eighth-rank force like the Luo Clan, not many disciples under 25 years old had achievements like hers.
As for Luo Yu, at only 15, he was already at early-stage Golden Core, thus revered as the foremost genius. No one could predict his future achievements. The path of cultivation was fraught with ups and downs. Countless geniuses shone brightly for a time only to die tragically; this was common in the cultivation world.
Luo Ren didn't bear too much hatred for this younger brother. After all, the entire Luo Clan had treated him poorly. This individual had never directly opposed him. However, Luo Ren had to reclaim that eye. No one could take anything from him.
Embracing the beauty's soft body tightly, Luo Ren knew she still had aspirations, a sect, a master. Asking her to follow him would be difficult for her. He opened his mouth:
"Where is this place? I was accidentally teleported here and have no idea of its location."
Yan Ruoxue's body trembled. She knew that with their current identities, it would be very difficult for them to be together without absolute strength. Luo Ren still had a grudge against the Luo Clan. Yan Ruoxue was determined to help him seek revenge. She needed to sit on the Hundred Flowers Sect's Saintess throne and become a stable backing for him.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Ruoxue replied:
"This secret chamber is where my master used to cultivate in seclusion. It's very close to the Hundred Flowers Sect. The Hundred Flowers Sect is located in the northern part of the Ice Heaven Continent, near Cold Ice City. This is the largest city in the territory of the Ninth-rank force, the Heavenly Mountain Immortal Realm."
Luo Ren hugged her tighter, lowering his head to find her fragrant lips, gently taking them.
Smooch! Smooch! Smooch!
The mesmerizing sounds echoed again. Luo Ren intertwined with her soft tongue, while below, his penis swiftly plunged into the already wet narrow crevice.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Their two bodies were madly immersed in ecstasy. They knew it would be a long time before they met again, so they abandoned all restraint to indulge in the sweet aftertaste that love brought.
Luo Ren sucked the beauty's tongue above, while below he vigorously moved in and out of her body, as if wanting to melt her into him.
A long time later…
"Ah! Ah! Mmm! So good! I'm good! I'm coming, my love, come with me! Ah!" Yan Ruoxue screamed in pleasure, her beautiful eyes wide, her red lips dripping.
"I could play with you my whole life and never get tired, my darling. I'm coming with you!" Luo Ren panted, his entire body tensed, ejaculating his essence deep into the innermost part of his woman.
"It's time for me to go. You should also emerge from seclusion now," Luo Ren wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, looking at her swollen, tear-filled eyes, and said hoarsely.
Yan Ruoxue hugged him tightly, as if unwilling to part. After a long while, she whispered:
"You must definitely come back to me."
"Don't worry. Within two years, I will come to the Hundred Flowers Sect to propose to you honorably and openly," Luo Ren said firmly. Two years was enough time for him to do many things.
Yan Ruoxue was immensely happy. She shook her head, and softly said:
"The Saintesses of the Hundred Flowers Sect will be sent to the Sacred Spirit Academy for study. Find me there in two years."
"Sacred Spirit Academy?" Luo Ren wondered. He had never heard that name before.
Yan Ruoxue stroked her hair, gently explaining: "It is a place of noble status on the Ice Heaven Continent, established by many peak experts of the Ice Heaven Continent to seek successors, and also to cultivate young geniuses of the continent to compete with other continents."
"Other continents?" Luo Ren continued to wonder.
Yan Ruoxue knew his identity and didn't find it strange. She gently continued:
"We live on a planet called Vietnamese Dragon Star. This planet is divided into four large regions: the Eastern Desolate Continent, the Western Underworld Continent, the Southern Sea Continent, and our Northern Ice Heaven Continent."
Luo Ren had a sudden realization. It seemed he would need to thoroughly understand the information of this world in the future. His previous identity only provided him with some basic information, completely insufficient.
"Alright, I promise that within two years, I will come to the Sacred Spirit Academy to find you," Luo Ren said solemnly.
Yan Ruoxue gently nodded. Just then, two years later, the Sacred Spirit Academy would hold its admissions. She looked forward to the moment when her man would overpower all heroes and openly enter the Sacred Spirit Academy with her.
Kissing her deeply one last time, Luo Ren reluctantly crushed the Minor Teleportation Talisman. This place was within the range of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and he couldn't openly appear with her. He had no choice but to teleport away.
"Husband, I will strive to cultivate. I will remove all obstacles for you," Yan Ruoxue said quietly, watching Luo Ren's figure gradually disappear.
She stood in the secret chamber for a long time, as if wanting to engrave everything there into her mind. The peerlessly beautiful figure firmly turned around.
"Luo Clan, just you wait."
The ethereal voice seemed to fade in and out.
The secret chamber returned to its original silence.
