74: Three mythical genes! I am a legend!

Ye Linger's body became extremely stiff at that moment, as if an Immobilization Spell had been cast on her.

But only for a moment, her originally tense shoulders relaxed.

Those emerald eyes, always filled with stubbornness and defensiveness, were now shrouded in a layer of mist, blurred and helpless.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations host, successfully bound target 'Ye Linger'!]

[Obtained binding reward: life source liquid (one wisp)!]

The System's notification sound exploded in Qin Lang's mind.

A cool liquid containing majestic vitality appeared out of thin air in his mouth.

Qin Lang didn't hesitate at all.

He pried open the tightly closed teeth of the girl in his arms, his tongue guiding that incredibly precious life source liquid, passing it over.

"Mmm..."

Ye Linger let out a whimper like a small animal.

She felt a warm current slide down her throat, instantly exploding in her lower abdomen.

Immediately after, that warm current crazily traveled through her limbs and bones; wherever it passed, the original obscure and blocked feeling was rapidly receding!

It was like a long-dried riverbed finally welcoming the nourishment of spring water.

That long-lost feeling of resonating with the energy of heaven and earth made her whole body tremble uncontrollably.

One minute later.

When the last bit of life source liquid completely integrated into her body,

Qin Lang finally released her, still wanting more.

Their lips parted, pulling out an ambiguous silver thread.

"You..."

Ye Linger panted heavily, her exquisite baby face now as red as a ripe apple.

She stared wide-eyed at Qin Lang, her eyes filled with shyness, shock, and a trace of inexplicable panic.

"What?"

Qin Lang reached out his thumb, gently wiping away the crystalline moisture from the corner of her mouth, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Want to call me a rogue?"

"No... no..."

Ye Linger instinctively shook her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"I don't blame you... I'm just afraid you'll think I'm an easy girl..."

This silly girl.

Qin Lang's heart softened, and he was about to tease her some more.

Ye Linger's expression suddenly changed.

"Wait! My body..."

She suddenly lowered her head, looking at her hands, her eyes bursting with unbelievable ecstasy.

"My Gene Lock... is moving!"

"Those originally dead nodes... they are reviving!"

That feeling was too clear!

Like a long-sealed volcano, accumulating the power to erupt!

"Don't talk, concentrate and calm your mind."

Qin Lang put away his playful smile, pressed her shoulders, and had her sit cross-legged.

"This is your Opportunity, don't waste it."

Ye Linger nodded obediently and immediately closed her eyes, wholeheartedly guiding that newborn power within her body.

Qin Lang stood aside, watching the faint green light gradually rising from the girl, his heart also filled with excitement.

This is the Life God Gene!

As long as she can recover, her future achievements will definitely be limitless!

[Ding!]

[Detected binding target 'Ye Linger', Life God Gene is being repaired and reorganized!]

[System return mechanism has been triggered...]

[Congratulations host, obtained thirty times excess return reward!]

[You have obtained a new Mythical Gene—'Creation Gene'!]

Boom—!

Qin Lang only felt a roar in his mind.

An indescribable mysterious power instantly surged into his body!

This power does not belong to the Five Elements, nor does it belong to Yin and Yang.

It carried a supreme charm of creating all things and turning stone into gold!

Creation!

Seizing the creation of heaven and earth!

The Chaos Gene and Undying Divine Phoenix Gene originally residing in his body actually let out a cheerful cry of resonance the moment this new power joined.

Three Mythical Genes!

At this moment, Qin Lang felt as if his body had become an independent small Universe.

Chaos as the base, Divine Phoenix as the fire, Creation as the soul!

Trinity, endless life!

"Buzz—!"

Just then.

The sky overhead suddenly changed color.

The originally brilliant sunset was instantly replaced by a patch of emerald-green rosy clouds.

Deep within those rosy clouds, a giant World Tree Phantom connecting heaven and earth slowly emerged, with countless light spots flying like elves among the canopy.

Life rosy clouds, World Tree Phantom!

This is the phenomenon caused by the recovery of Ye Linger's gene!

Although due to the System's suppression, the range of this phenomenon was limited to a few miles, it didn't alarm the entire Capital City like Su Muyue's did.

But that pure to the extreme life breath still attracted the attention of nearby experts.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several streaks of light flew over from a distance.

Qin Lang frowned, preparing to leave with Ye Linger.

A figure, however, got ahead and descended from the sky, landing on the river embankment.

It was a middle-aged man in a sophisticated suit; although his temples were somewhat gray, his youthful handsomeness could still be seen.

At this moment, he was staring fixedly at Ye Linger, who was sitting on the ground, his face full of ecstasy.

"This aura... it definitely can't be wrong!"

"Life God Gene! And it's a perfectly recovered Life God Gene!"

"Heaven bless my Zhuo Family!"

The man trembled with excitement and took a large step toward Ye Linger.

"Linger! My good daughter!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Linger, who was stabilizing her Realm, suddenly opened her eyes.

In those emerald eyes, the original joy instantly dissipated, replaced by bone-chilling coldness.

"Stop."

She coldly spat out two words.

The man's footsteps paused, the smile on his face becoming a bit stiff.

"Linger, I'm your father..."

"Father?"

Ye Linger stood up, patted the grass clippings off her skirt, and her mouth curled into a mocking arc.

"President Zhuo, I think you have the wrong person."

"Your daughter is sitting in the Atlas Tower, not here."

The person was none other than the president of the Atlas Group, Zhuo Zhenxiong.

Zhuo Zhenxiong looked at his daughter, who had undergone a great change in temperament as if reborn, and a flash of pain passed through his eyes, but more of it was greed.

"Linger, what happened back then was my fault, I also had my difficulties..."

"As long as you come back with me, the position of heir is still yours!"

"I will give you the best resources and let you become the most noble Apothecary in the entire Alliance!"

He reached out his hand, wanting to pull Ye Linger.

Ye Linger took a step back, hiding behind Qin Lang.

"I don't care for it."

Her voice was categorical, without a hint of hesitation.

"That home makes me sick."

Zhuo Zhenxiong's hand froze in mid-air, his face turning somewhat ugly.

He glanced at Qin Lang, who was blocking the way in front of Ye Linger, and a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes.

But he was an old fox after all, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.

He took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Linger, you're angry right now, I won't force you."

"There's five million in this card, take it to spend first, if it's not enough, tell me."

He turned to look at Qin Lang again, putting on a hypocritical smile.

"Young friend, please help me pass this to Linger."

"There will be a heavy reward in the future."

Qin Lang looked at the card and then at Zhuo Zhenxiong's high-and-mighty face.

He reached out and took the card.

A flash of disdain appeared in Zhuo Zhenxiong's eyes; as expected, no one can refuse money.

But the next second,

Qin Lang toyed with the card, leaned closer to Zhuo Zhenxiong, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"President Zhuo, instead of acting out this drama of fatherly love and filial piety here,"

"why don't you go back and check why your daughter's Gene Lock broke for no reason?"

"And..."

A cold glint flashed in Qin Lang's eyes.

"Those few assassins with 'Martial-Hunting Crossbows' during the day, who exactly sent them?"

Zhuo Zhenxiong's pupils suddenly contracted!

Gene Lock broken? Assassins?

He actually didn't know anything about these matters!

"What do you mean?!"

He wanted to press for more, but Qin Lang had already taken Ye Linger's hand and turned to walk away with large strides.

Leaving him only with a profound and mysterious back.

"I'll take the money for her, consider it compensation for mental distress."

"As for the person... don't even think about it."

Watching the two walk away, Zhuo Zhenxiong clenched his fists, his face so dark it seemed as if water could drip from it.

"Investigate! Give me a thorough investigation!"

He roared on the riverbank, his voice filled with anger.

In the ride-hailing car on the way back,

Ye Linger leaned on Qin Lang's shoulder, looking a bit exhausted.

"Qin Lang, thank you."

"That home... I really don't want to go back."

Qin Lang put his arm around her shoulder and patted it gently.

"If you don't want to go back, then don't."

"A place so full of calculation is not worth going to."

"Your genes have recovered now, and you are the future Apothecary Queen."

"In the future, they will only be begging you; there's no reason for you to beg them."

Ye Linger looked up at Qin Lang's resolute profile, the gloom in her eyes gradually dissipating.

"Mhm!"

"I will work hard!"

"I want them to know that giving up on me was the biggest mistake of their lives!"
