The sense of being disassembled and dispersed was so imrsive that Yi Chen, even after his physical restoration, remained in a state of consciousness imrsion, even forgetting he was currently in the Old World’s Cancer Palace, subconsciously thinking he was still in so bathroom, with a na still murmuring on his lips.
A suction force ca.
Yi Chen’s body was once again drawn deeper into the Cancer Palace through the conduit,
Generally speaking,
Foreign Visitors who underwent ’purification’ would be sent to the main hall, but Yi Chen was different, he had already been pre-booked by a special character of the Cancer Palace, skipping these initial steps and directly sent to a predetermined area.
After detaching from the conduit and a brief fall,
Splash! His body slamd heavily into a warm and viscous pool,
The liquid no longer possessed any flesh-decomposing property but was instead helping to restore the physical body, the change in the external environnt allowed Yi Chen to quickly regain consciousness.
Opening his eyes,
He found himself in a sealed cave, distinctly different from the fleshy red the of the Cancer Palace,
This cave had only one facility—a hot spring.
The hot spring pool, paved with black jade tiles, could accommodate up to twenty people soaking, and the center of the pool continuously bubbled with temperate ’spring water.’
The water appeared crystal clear to the bottom, unrelated to Nong Lake,
But upon closer Observation, one could find that the spring water also contained a type of transparent biological creature,
They sward around Yi Chen, the soaker, nibbling away persistently at the ’impurities’ on the body of the Foreign Visitor with their nurous tiny teeth, eating up all the components of Nong Lake on Yi Chen’s body and even cleaning off dead skin, excess body hair, and hair.
This tingling sensation, combined with the soothing effect of the hot spring, made it difficult for the physical body not to relax.
As Yi Chen was enjoying himself and Observing his surroundings,
A black and gray British Shorthair cat appeared in his field of vision, moving along the edge of the hot spring with elegant and slow cat steps, its amber cat eyes fixed on Yi Chen.
It wore ’ankle rings’ on its limbs, made from Old World Gold, engraved with a complex pattern on the surface.
However,
Having just woken from a ditative state, with a clear mind, Yi Chen attempted to peer at this cat that seed out of place in the Cancer Palace through Little Grape’s eyes.
The Gold ankle rings worn on its limbs imdiately raised a barrier to prevent the peering and cause a rebound effect.
Snap!
A bloody hole was imdiately punched into Yi Chen’s forehead, his head jerked backward—crack!—breaking his neck, with his head at a 90° angle, resting against the edge of the pool.
"Wow~"
Yi Chen imdiately repositioned his cervical spine with his spiritual power, shaking his head to rejoin it,
By that ti, the cat had already co to his side, lightly stepping with its paw pads on his shoulder, as if feeling sothing.
Then, in the language of the Old World, the cat spoke,
"Not a bad physical body, no wonder you recovered so quickly after the purification, even trying to probe my physical form. Jin’s judgnt isn’t bad;
I thought a silly child like her wouldn’t pick anything good."
At this point, Yi Chen had practically guessed the other’s identity and greeted, "Lady Oreina."
"Did those guys in charge of purification already spill my na? Next ti, I really need to teach them a lesson;
they can’t even keep the most basic secret.
Once you’re cleansed, co with ,
Jin is currently undergoing my training, to check if she’s been slacking off all this ti, so she’s unable to et you for the mont.
As for your suitcase, it’s been placed in a guest room prepared for you. Don’t worry;
I very much respect personal privacy."
"Okay."
Clearly,
This cat was the ’ntor’ Jin had always ntioned, an Old World powerhouse with a certain identity and status in the Cancer Palace.
As to why the other was in the form of a cat, Yi Chen didn’t quite feel it appropriate to ask.
"Excuse , Ms. Oreina, do you have any spare clothing?" asked Yi Chen. "My clothes completely dissolved during the baptism, and other garnts seem to relate to the Skin Factory and might..."
However, Ms. Oreina suddenly interjected, "Unlike so sticklers, I am open-minded. If I’m willing to accept Jin, a mixed-blood with human genes, and even support him on the distribution issues of the ’Swelling Record,’ I’m certainly willing to et soone as complex as you. I don’t care about what you wear.
"As long as you’re on my territory, wear whatever you want. But if you want to go to other areas of the Cancer Palace, you’ll need to find a way to get your own set of clothes."
"Thank you," he said.
Yi Chen imdiately closed his eyes, feeling the Soul Contract with the Yellow Skin.
Through several walls, the suitcase in the guest room opened itself, and the gentleman’s clothes moved like a crawling creature, quickly finding their way into the cavern.
As Yi Chen stepped out of the hot spring, the clothes were already on his body.
This sight slightly surprised Ms. Oreina, whose raised tail shook a little, "Despite being a lowly Skin Slave, you have such control over your Skin. You’ll probably be visiting the ’Mysterious Skin Factory’ later, won’t you?"
"Yes," he confird.
Seeing Yi Chen affirm this, Ms. Oreina smiled enigmatically, "Well, it’s good to take a look. However, I suggest you adjust your state before going over."
"Did sothing happen at the Skin Factory?" he inquired.
"You’ll see for yourself when you go. Before that, enjoy your life between the walls of the Cancer Palace."
Ms. Oreina trod out of the cavern with an elegant cat walk, squeezing through a narrow gap, and Yi Chen hurriedly followed.
Outside the cave was an opulent European-style residence, with all decorations made of tal and stone, nothing related to tumors.
Yi Chen’s guest room was the sa,
except that there were no windows. The ’ventilation system’ in the room, like the mouth of a monster, continuously pumped in air produced by the Cancer Palace with every breath.
"Ms. Oreina, have you ever lived in human society?"
"My consciousness once resided in a lower life form, and I’ve visited quite a few human cities... I’m quite fickle. Having grown accustod to the chaotic style of the Cancer Palace, I quite like your human style of ’following rules.’
Moreover, when the World Infection ends, those who quickly embrace new things will grasp opportunities faster.
Rest for a bit~ Once Jin passes the test, I’ll personally take you for a tour of the Cancer Palace. I have nothing much recently."
"Okay."
Just as Yi Chen entered the guest room, sat on the edge of the bed, and prepared to inspect his suitcase,
Ms. Oreina leaped onto his chest, pinning him down on the bed with her four limbs. Her soft right front paw even stepped on Yi Chen’s forehead, making him lie there obediently while she looked down at the young man.
Yi Chen, being pinned down, didn’t dare to resist, for this was soone else’s realm. He could only awkwardly ask, "Ms. Oreina, I thought we were resting?"
"Lying on the bed is resting, isn’t it? After our eting, touch, and conversation just now, I’ve made a decision.
"The number of illnesses within your body is the highest I’ve ever seen. To balance and manage so many and to express most of them perfectly, you have passed my personal test.
"In addition, I noticed you bear the ’Transaction Seal’ on your soul, aning you and I are both premium clients of the Duke. That guy has quite an eye for people, so I want to give it a try too."
"Ms. Oreina, you also have the Transaction Seal?"
"Yes, it was marked quite so ti ago. The Duke’s goods have helped
a lot. Otherwise, I couldn’t have reached such a high position.
"Do you want to add another Attribute? Co on, swallow this, and you’ll be able to establish a connection with the Cancer Palace."
Her mouth opened,
a thorny tongue bearing a shiny swelling bead like a glass marble,
Ms. Oreina’s feline head began to move slowly downwards as if she intended to place it directly into Yi Chen’s mouth,
when,
Jin, who had just passed the test with undisturbing quiet steps, happened to find the door to the room ajar.
Poking her head inside, she was about to call out "Master" when her tongue and mouth froze,
struggling to process the scene before her.
