74: Chapter 74: Your First Mysterious Gift Pack – Abundant Rewards!

A flush surged across her face, delicate and moving, like shy, intricate embroidery.

Her expression was flustered, yet it held a hint of imperceptible anticipation; her gaze was erratic, darting everywhere.

Lin Ran extended his right hand, slowly caressing Li Huayin's stunning face, and brushed aside some loose strands of hair for her.

"Huayin, you are truly beautiful."

He let out a heartfelt sigh and lowered his head to kiss those red lips.

Li Huayin did not refuse; instead, she closed her eyes, quietly savoring the tenderness that belonged solely to Lin Ran.

After kissing for a moment, Li Huayin suddenly extended her hands, gently pressing them against Lin Ran's chest, her voice trembling slightly, filled with fear:

"Lin Ran, will you... will you be like that Xiao Huohuo and betray me?"

What she cared about was never Xiao Huohuo; what she cared about was betrayal.

She had lived in the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty since childhood, accustomed to schemes and deceit, and having suffered betrayal at a young age, one could imagine how great a blow this had been to her young heart.

She had sealed herself in ice, turning into an iceberg that kept strangers at bay, all to conceal a heart that appeared strong on the outside but was actually incredibly fragile.

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback, then said in a gentle voice, "Huayin, I did not participate in your past, simply because we had not yet met."

"But now, fate has made its choice, letting us meet here, so I will never fail you!"

Listening to Lin Ran's words, for some reason, Li Huayin felt incomparably at ease, subconsciously choosing to believe him.

"Lin Ran, tonight... belongs only to the two of us..."

...

The night passed without a word.

When the sun was high in the sky, Lin Ran finally concluded his "mutual progress" with Li Huayin.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the destiny strategy mission!】

【Reward: One mysterious gift pack (super large, the super-super large kind!)】

【Ding! Does the Host wish to open the mysterious gift pack?!】

Hearing the System's notification sound in his ears, Lin Ran gently caressed the delicate skin of the beauty in his arms, his gaze soft as water.

He had not expected that the first mysterious gift pack he harvested would be obtained from Li Huayin.

To be honest, he had truly believed that the first mysterious gift pack of his career would be obtained from his Revered Master Su Xiyue or Yan Ruyu.

He was now thoroughly convinced that Li Huayin was his exclusive benefit-provider sent specifically to deliver benefits to him!!!

"Open!"

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully opening the mysterious gift pack!】

【Reward: 80,000 destiny points, Awakening of the Yunxiao Tribulation Sword and Lingxiao Tribulation Sword, True Dragon Egg incubation progress increased by 20%, top-tier Dao True Intent—Five Elements True Intent, dark devouring sword upgraded to a top-grade Supreme artifact, top-tier God Body—Primal God Body (bestow-type reward), and one crescent moon tomb key!】

【Current True Dragon Egg incubation progress: 65%】

Watching the series of rewards arrive one after another, Lin Ran grinned from ear to ear.

With a full 80,000 destiny points in hand, his current total of destiny points was pushed directly to 223,000, leaving only 27,000 destiny points until he could awaken the third form of the Destiny Immortal Body's Origin Divine Ability.

Then came the Awakening of the Yunxiao Tribulation Sword and Lingxiao Tribulation Sword, as well as the top-tier Dao True Intent—Five Elements True Intent, which directly significantly boosted his strength.

Then there was the top-tier God Body—the Primal God Body; it was a bestow-type reward that could only be bestowed upon others and could not be used by himself.

And it was obvious to whom this reward was to be bestowed; Lin Ran knew it clearly.

As for this crescent moon tomb key...

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought.

He had heard the legends of the Canyue Sect; it was said that before the Canyue Sect was destroyed, it had buried countless Opportunities and Legacies in the Tomb of the Crescent Moon.

Only those who obtained the crescent moon tomb key could enter the Tomb of the Crescent Moon and seize the Opportunities within!

"However, I have heard that the Tomb of the Crescent Moon is elusive; I do not know when or where it will appear next."

"When the Tomb of the Crescent Moon appears again, I will use the crescent moon tomb key to enter."

Lin Ran mused to himself.

At this moment, a hand, warm and smooth as jade, gently rested against his face.

He looked down and met Li Huayin's almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with affection.

"Lin Ran, what are you thinking about?"

Li Huayin asked with a gentle smile.

"I was thinking, the True Disciple Grand Competition is in a week. When the time comes, will you directly yield the position of Saint to me, or will you pretend to fight me first before deliberately letting me win?"

Lin Ran said with a wicked smile.

"Hmph! Although you are the most important person in my heart, and the position of Saintess of the Feixian Sect doesn't compare to even half of you."

"But then again, when I joined the Feixian Sect, it was for the position of Saintess. You want me to deliberately yield it to you? You're dreaming!"

Li Huayin lightly tapped Lin Ran's forehead and smiled, revealing her teeth.

"So, you still want to compete with your husband? I wonder who was crying and begging for mercy last night?"

"What's this? The sky has cleared and the rain has stopped, so you think you can do it again?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow and let out a wicked laugh.

Hearing this, Li Huayin's face turned as red as if it were dripping blood, and she bit down hard on Lin Ran's shoulder.

"Isn't that your fault from last night? You were reckless and heavy-handed; don't you have any sense of moderation?"

Even now, she felt her legs were still slightly weak and trembling.

She knew it; whenever she did that with Lin Ran, she would definitely break down...

"Alright, don't be angry. How about we refine this Holy Dragon Bloodline and saint dragon reverse scale together?"

Lin Ran smiled and rubbed the top of Li Huayin's head, then took out the Holy Dragon Bloodline and saint dragon reverse scale he had stripped from Xiao Huohuo.

These two great treasures contained pure and immense energy, making them perfect for refining.

Only that idiot Xiao Huohuo would think of grafting the Holy Dragon Bloodline onto himself and then consuming the energy within the saint dragon reverse scale to kill enemies; that was simply too wasteful.

"Lin Ran, this Holy Dragon Bloodline is of a high Rank; why don't you graft it onto yourself?"

Li Huayin blinked her watery, almond-shaped eyes and asked.

She felt that the reason Xiao Huohuo was so strong was because he had grafted the Holy Dragon Bloodline onto himself.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Xiao Huohuo to have such a great transformation.

"Although the Holy Dragon Bloodline is good, I am not a creature of the Holy Dragon clan, but a Human Race through and through."

"Even if I grafted the Holy Dragon Bloodline into my own body, I wouldn't be able to control it perfectly, and it would instead leave behind some hidden dangers."

"Refining it to improve my cultivation is the best choice."

Lin Ran explained with a smile.

"I see."

Li Huayin nodded, seemingly understanding.

As expected, her Lin Ran was the most thoughtful; unlike that idiot Xiao Huohuo, who only knew to graft the Holy Dragon Bloodline onto himself, forgetting the hidden dangers that existed within it.

Compared to Lin Ran, this True Dragon, Xiao Huohuo wasn't even a loach!

"Lin Ran, I didn't expect you to know so much, you're amazing! I think I've become... even more in love with you~"

"You love me, yet you bit me just now? Biting is one thing, but couldn't you have chosen a different spot and bitten gently? Hmm?"
