Chapter 227 Good news awakens divine skills, bad news is forcibly bound!
Chapter 227 Good news awakens divine skills, bad news is forcibly bound!
The aged, mocking voice was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, instantly shattering Luo Tianfei's rationality.
Dual cultivation?!
These two words were even more unbearable for her than the excruciating pain that had pierced her soul just now!
"Ah—! You old geezer, shut up!!"
A scream of utter shame and indignation erupted, accompanied by a raging crimson divine fire!
Rumble—!
In that instant, the water in the entire Yin-Yang Creation Pool was boiled and evaporated! The terrifyingly high temperature turned the dome of the bronze temple a crimson red!
Luo Tianfei suddenly stood up from the water, her phoenix eyes burning with purple divine fire locked on the gatekeeper's phantom image, wishing she could grind him to dust.
However, her movement of getting up exposed her perfect, delicate body, which had just been covered by moisture, to the air once again.
"..."
Lu Sheng's gaze honestly moved downwards for a fraction of a second.
"What are you looking at?!"
Luo Tianfei's movements suddenly froze, and then, as if she had been electrocuted, she let out an even sharper scream and "plop" slumped back to the bottom of the pool in a disheveled state.
This time, she didn't even dare to show her head, only staring intently at the innocent-looking gatekeeper in mid-air with her murderous eyes.
The atmosphere inside the temple was so awkward that you could practically dig a Sanqing Hall out with your toes.
"trouble."
Lu Sheng cursed inwardly.
He doesn't have time to waste here with an angry woman.
With a thought, a black combat suit instantly appeared on his body, covering his muscular, sculpted physique.
Immediately afterwards, without even glancing at Luo Tianfei, he flipped his right hand, and a brand-new women's combat suit appeared out of thin air. He threw it over his shoulder, and it landed precisely in the pool in front of Luo Tianfei.
The movements were fluid and effortless, brimming with impatient pragmatism.
"Put them on."
The two cold words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing half of Luo Tianfei's anger.
She looked at the clothes floating in front of her, then at Lu Sheng, who had his back to her and showed no sign of lingering, and almost ground her teeth to powder.
That bastard!
What kind of attitude is that?!
Humiliation! This is blatant humiliation!
But she knew even better that now was not the time to have an outburst.
Luo Tianfei, seething with anger, quickly put on the surprisingly well-fitting combat suit underwater before standing up from the pool.
The tight-fitting black combat suit accentuated her hot and eye-catching figure, and paired with her cold and murderous face, she resembled a vengeful goddess about to unleash a massacre.
"Old man!" Luo Tianfei's voice was as cold as ice, "You'd better give me an explanation!"
The gatekeeper's phantom reappeared, and he looked at the two people whose demeanor had changed drastically with great interest. He slowly spoke, and what he said struck Luo Tianfei, who had just finished dressing, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Explanation? It's simple."
"The true secret of the Yin-Yang Creation Pool is not the cleansing of the marrow and tendons, but rather—returning to oneness."
"Dragon and Phoenix are two fundamental sequences of extreme yang and yin in the world. When your bloodlines merge in the pool, it triggers the highest restriction left by the Immortal Qin civilization."
The gatekeeper pointed to the space between their eyebrows, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"From this moment forward, an indelible dragon and phoenix mark has been planted deep within the very essence of your souls."
"Simply put, you've been forcibly bound together."
"We will share life and death, honor and disgrace, until the end of this era."
boom!
Luo Tianfei felt dizzy and her vision went black. She almost couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
Bound...bound?!
And this filthy scoundrel? This shameless bastard? This giant worm?!
She felt her worldview completely collapse at that moment.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Sheng's brows furrowed instantly.
He dislikes any variables that are beyond his control.
The gatekeeper seemed to enjoy their shocked expressions, and slowly explained, "It means that from now on, you can share each other's perceptions and emotions to a certain extent. Even within a certain distance, if one of you suffers a fatal injury, the other will suffer an equal degree of backlash."
"Don't believe me? You can try it."
Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he closed them with some skepticism, trying to sense the so-called "Dragon and Phoenix Mark".
next second.
A torrent of complex emotions—a mixture of overwhelming shame and indignation, boundless killing intent, extreme humiliation, and a hint of panic that she herself was unaware of—rushed into his mind like a flood bursting its banks!
"Hold!"
Lu Sheng groaned, suddenly opened his eyes, and gasped.
He felt as if he had just been scratched in the face by ten thousand bristling cats.
Really!
This damn binding is actually real!
Seeing Lu Sheng's disgusted expression, what else could Luo Tianfei not understand?
Her pretty face, which had just regained its color, instantly turned deathly pale again.
It’s over.
My life is over.
I'm actually going to have to share my emotions with a man?
Wouldn't that mean I'd have no secrets left?
The thought that this bastard might discover some of her secret, girlish thoughts made Luo Tianfei want to find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.
Inside the temple, a deathly silence fell once again.
However, this time, the silence was filled with an intense, overwhelming anger and despair, enough for two people to share.
Seeing the two men's expressions of utter despair, as if the sky had fallen, the gatekeeper's unchanging smile deepened.
He was like a viewer who had just finished watching a tragedy and immediately switched to a comedy channel, his emotional transition was seamless.
"What? Feeling cheated?"
The gatekeeper floated between the two, his tone carrying an obvious hint of schadenfreude.
"I think you've hit the jackpot."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Luo Tianfei practically gritted her teeth as she squeezed out those words.
The way she looked at the old man now was even more hostile than when she looked at Lu Sheng.
In her view, this old man was the culprit behind this vicious binding incident!
"Make money?" Lu Sheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He stared coldly at the gatekeeper. "Don't you know what I lost?"
I've suddenly gained an emotional plugin that keeps screaming and spamming in my head all the time. No matter how you look at it, this is a huge loss.
"Heh, young man, don't just look at the present."
The gatekeeper shook his head, adopting an air of superiority that suggested they were all too young and inexperienced.
He waved his hand.
Om-!
In the void before the two, a huge light screen unfolded out of thin air.
The figures of Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei appeared on the light screen.
"This is..." Both of them were stunned.
"The Dragon and Phoenix Mark is both a constraint and a blessing." The gatekeeper's voice turned serious. "Its greatest function is not to share emotions, but... to allow your power to achieve true 'unity'!"
Before the words were finished, the scene on the light screen suddenly changed.
Within the light screen, "Lu Sheng" and "Luo Tianfei" seemed to be of one mind, simultaneously activating the sequence bloodlines within their bodies.
"hold head high--!"
"Chirp—!"
A dragon's roar, a phoenix's cry.
Golden dragon shadows and crimson phoenix shadows soared into the sky from the two people's bodies, intertwining and swirling in mid-air, and finally perfectly merging into a chaotic pillar of light that was interwoven with gold and red and exuded an aura of destruction!
Within that pillar of light, the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes appeared and disappeared, seemingly containing terrifying power akin to the creation of the world.
"This is the ultimate combined attack technique of the Immortal Qin Dynasty—"
"Dragon and Phoenix Burn the Heavens!"
