101: An upgraded version of the Qilin tattoo

Ye Bai: ...What the hell?

He could understand the Qilin tattoo, but why did it have the ability to ferry deceased souls?

And what were these Celestial Master skills?

While Ye Bai was hesitating, a flood of text and memories suddenly appeared in his mind... Star Gazing, Moon Watching, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Talismans, Feng Shui, Underworld Ferrying, Exorcism!

Various skills and memories regarding a Celestial Master were deeply engraved into his mind, as if he had been practicing these skills since childhood.

After a while, the swelling pain in Ye Bai's head finally ended.

Just as he had finished adapting, the skin on his back felt as if it were being scorched by a blazing fire.

That sensation was exactly like when he had gone to the tattoo parlor for his tattoo before.

It was even more painful and agonizing than that time.

After obtaining the qilin blood, the previous tattoo parlor's tattoo had been intentionally hidden. Now that he had obtained the true tattoo, the stinging pain on his back was truly unbearable.

Ye Bai stood there, gripping the black gold ancient blade tightly, as layers of cold sweat surfaced on his back and face.

A minute later.

Ye Bai finally adapted to the scorching heat on his body, and that restless, hot sensation had now vanished.

Now, Ye Bai felt comfortable all over, as if he were filled with immense power.

Ye Bai really liked this feeling.

Not bad!

Very good!

He was one step closer to Zhang Qilin.

The previous tattoo was hidden because of the qilin blood, but now the tattoo was real. That tattoo on his back... should look pretty cool, right?

While Ye Bai was secretly rejoicing, a white light suddenly emanated from the Female Corpse's body.

A graceful figure slowly rose from within the light. This woman wore a gentle smile and was dressed in the unique attire of the Yelang Kingdom from that time, with her ink-black hair falling loosely behind her.

The woman smiled and gave a slight bow to Ye Bai, then she was seen bowing to Yang Mi, Wu Jing, and the others, her eyes full of apology.

Yang Mi, Reba, and the others were all a bit dazed.

What was the situation?

“Thank you!”

The woman looked at Ye Bai, and after speaking, she vanished directly on the spot.

Yang Mi and Reba watched as the woman revealed a smile of liberation, and they were all stunned.

She really was seeking death!

Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun hadn't even reacted yet when they saw the Female Corpse disappear.

How did this happen?

Why did she just disappear?

With the disappearance of the Female Corpse, the surrounding air pressure and the invisible sense of oppression in the ear chamber also vanished.

Yang Mi and the others hurriedly ran to Ye Bai's side.

“Ye Bai, what's going on? That woman...”

Before Yang Mi could finish her sentence, she heard Ye Bai's voice say, “She's been liberated.”

After Ye Bai spoke, he moved closer to the side of the coffin.

“Liberated?”

Hearing this, Yang Mi chewed over those three words carefully.

“It's good that she's liberated; her life was truly too hard.”

Yang Mi now realized the reason the Female Corpse had knelt: it was to seek liberation.

Reba, Bai Lu, Yang Chaoyue, and Meng Ziyi were all girls, and they expressed sympathy for her experience; this was something they could empathize with most easily.

Women in ancient times had it rough, and even concubines were no exception.

To end up with such a fate in the end.

Meanwhile, Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun didn't think much of it, instead feeling that the monarch of the Yelang Kingdom was ungrateful. To kill such a beautiful woman, he must have been blind.

In the Live Stream Room.

【Damn! This woman looks so gentle! I really like her!!】

【What a pity, she died so miserably, and she was even murdered!】

【I think Ye Bai is so handsome! That moment was just freaking awesome, I absolutely love it.】

【Is that just 'loving it'? This is a god-tier existence!!】

【I'm going to be a die-hard fan of my Brother Ye Bai, a pure die-hard fan!】

When the viewers saw Ye Bai kill the Female Corpse, and kill her so effortlessly, they were all incredibly excited, beyond words.

Now they liked Ye Bai even more.

His follower count was also much higher than before.

The professors at the Archaeology Academy were shocked when they saw Ye Bai easily slay the zombie.

When they encountered zombies, they only managed to kill them with great martial force, but with Ye Bai... it was an instant kill!

This Ye Bai was simply a god-tier existence!

“Ye Bai... just killed it like that?”

“Why are we the ones getting insta-killed by zombies, while he's the one insta-killing them...”

“Because you aren't Ye Bai!”

The professors were all collectively stunned when they saw this scene.

They were deeply shaken internally; if Ye Bai joined the Archaeological Team, he would definitely be the greatest asset.

As for Ye Bai's previous behavior... they had long since put it out of their minds.

Inside the Tomb.

Ye Bai and the others reached the position of the outer coffin and found it completely empty, with nothing inside.

“This is too stingy, there aren't even any Funerary Objects?”

Cai Xukun had been excitedly thinking he would see some Funerary Objects or something; those were cultural relics after all.

He hadn't had close contact with cultural relics yet, but he didn't expect this guy wouldn't leave anything at all.

Even a token gesture would have been fine.

“It's not stinginess. This woman died so miserably, why would there be Funerary Objects? She was just a Tomb guardian, not some high official. Leaving her body intact was the greatest care shown to her.”

Wu Jing clutched his chest, standing to the side with a pale face.

“Anyway, let's eat something. I want to rest for a bit too.”

Wu Jing felt that even breathing hurt. He needed to rest now, and besides, they also needed time to find the mechanism to go further in.

“Right, right, right, let's eat something. I'm so hungry I don't have any strength left.”

As Cai Xukun spoke, he sat directly on the ground. He felt like his legs didn't even belong to him anymore.

“Are you hungry? I think you're just scared witless. Truly useless.”

Yang Chaoyue could tell from Cai Xukun's appearance that he was badly frightened, and he was just making excuses for himself.

Cai Xukun stiffened his neck, wanting to argue back, but after meeting the gazes of Wu Jing and Yang Mi, the words he hadn't said were swallowed back down.

Everyone rested on the spot.

Reba saw that Wu Jing was injured and looked unwell, so she took some bread and ham sausages out of her suitcase for him.

“Hey, hey, hey, why does Brother Jing get good food while we get nothing?”

Zhang Dada was craving those things badly when he saw them.

“Brother Jing got injured protecting us, it's only right he gets something to eat. Ye Bai can eat too, but you guys can't. They are the ones who worked the hardest; I can't be heartless, can I?”

Reba calmly took out some dried meat and gave it to Ye Bai.

After Ye Bai took it, he sat on the ground, his gaze falling on the coffin.

When Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun saw the food Wu Jing and Ye Bai were eating and then looked at their own compressed dry rations, they couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

“Ye Bai, this ear chamber is only this big, and I don't see an entrance. Should we look for a mechanism?”

After Reba took a bite of food, she asked suspiciously.

“No need!”
