In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao flew towards the secret chamber where the Moon Princess had appeared, without any hesitation!
He knew clearly, according to the original plot, that as long as he entered that secret chamber and pulled out the sword from the ancient bronze coffin inside, he would receive the help of the Moon Princess's remnant soul, just as he had from Old Shi!
For so unknown reason, the Moon Princess had now taken the initiative to erge!
But!
If what Old Shi said was true, and that brat Ye Chen had turned to the demonic path, then he absolutely could not be allowed to gain the Moon Princess as a powerful aid!
Just as Lin Xiao's hands were about to touch the door ring of the secret chamber, the ethereal figure of the Moon Princess beside him offered a mysterious and enchanting smile.
"Little fella, I refuse. At least... not yet~"
As soon as she spoke, Lin Xiao felt a terrifying, irresistible force emanating from within the secret chamber, forcibly pushing him out!
Damn, this woman's character hasn't changed a bit; she only accepts the Son of Destiny...
Lin Xiao clenched his teeth. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up. He imdiately tried to condense all his Sword Intent to break the restriction within the door!
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past him!
It was the protagonist, Ye Chen!
"Yes! Yes!" Ye Chen exclaid, his expression excited, even a hint of madness in his eyes. "Old Shi once perford a divination for , saying there was a great fortuitous encounter waiting in this Sword Tomb! Now it seems... it's this woman right before !"
He was currently at odds with Old Shi and desperately needed another powerful backer!
"Senior! I, Ye Chen, Princely Heir of Prince Beichuan, bear the Mandate of Heaven and have co to welco you!"
Even though the woman before him was as beautiful as a flower, radiating boundless feminine Charm, he dared not show the slightest neglect. He knelt on one knee, afraid of making even the smallest mistake.
"Princely Heir, I... have been waiting for you for a long ti~~ Hehehe~"
Seeing the young man kneel before her, the Moon Princess let out a seductive laugh, waved her hand, and said, "Hurry to the secret chamber ahead and draw out that Obsidian Ancient Sword. Once I break this seal, I will surely help you, young hero, overco all obstacles and dominate the path of immortality!"
"Yes, Senior!"
Ye Chen was ecstatic to have so easily received recognition from this noblewoman from the Upper Realm. With a leap, he prepared to rush into the secret chamber.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly rembered sothing.
He whirled around and roared with laughter at his bewildered rival, Lin Xiao, "Hahahaha! Lin Xiao, stunned, are you? How could an ant like you ever hope to grasp an opportunity ant for the Son of Destiny? Old Shi ultimately overestimated you!"
"This great beauty, Senior, she only recognizes beings of the highest standing!"
"Don't think you can rely on Xiao Hongling! What is she? From today onward, I, Ye Chen, will also have my own beautiful Master!"
With that, he knelt on both knees before the graceful, ethereal beauty and declared, "I, Ye Chen, have drifted for half my life, regretting only that I never t a renowned teacher! Senior, if you do not object, Ye Chen wishes to take you as his Master!"
"Alright, alright, go in quickly."
The Moon Princess raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with impatience.
"Yes!"
Overjoyed and without further hesitation, Ye Chen plunged into the secret chamber.
The next mont, the door to the secret chamber slowly closed!
The ethereal figure of the beautiful woman retracted, wisp by wisp, back into the secret chamber!
That bastard Ye Chen, is his luck truly not exhausted yet? Lin Xiao sighed softly.
He lifted his head, only to see the Moon Princess, in the final second before her ethereal form vanished, turn back. Her captivating, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she actually threw him a flirtatious wink!
"Little fella, don't be hasty."
"We... will et again~"
The Moon Princess brought a finger to her lips and made a seductive licking gesture.
The next second, her figure disappeared.
Everything around returned to tranquility!
It was as if all that had just transpired was rely a dream!
Just then, an unprecedentedly loud prompt sounded in his ear!
DING!
"Congratulations, Host!"
"You have indirectly suppressed Ye Chen's luck, causing his Luck Value to decrease by -1,500 points! (Ye Chen's Luck Value has diminished from 'Golden' to 'Dull Purple'!)"
"You have acquired the Destined Villain Reward: Forever Cicada x1 (an item from the Nine Heavens, an Innate Primal Chaos Supre Treasure, able to shield the bearer from one fatal tribulation—such as a Death Tribulation, Demon Tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation, or Heart Tribulation. It is a single-use consumable.)"
What is happening!? How did the Moon Princess choosing Ye Chen turn into indirectly suppressing his luck? And it even dropped dramatically by 1,500 points! To think... the most his luck ever dropped when I snatched his opportunities before was 200 points! Could it be... that the Moon Princess choosing Ye Chen is more of a curse than a blessing for him?
Enough, I'll stop thinking about it. But... this Forever Cicada is indeed an incredibly precious treasure!
Lin Xiao looked at the item in his storage space. It was an eight-winged creature, entirely golden, radiating a profound Daoist rhythm, and appearing like a being solidified in amber. An unexpected wave of ecstasy washed over him!
According to the system's introduction, this thing was equivalent to giving him a 'revival amulet,' granting him an extra life!
Isn't this far more high-end than those advanced protective Magic Treasures, like that Twelve-grade Golden Lotus or whatnot?
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother Lin, are you alright?"
Just as Lin Xiao was imrsed in the system interface, Guo Yourong, Zhu Wanning, and the others rushed over, their faces etched with concern.
"I'm—"
Before Lin Xiao could finish the word "fine," the void suddenly erupted with swirling flas. The surrounding stone walls shattered into pieces, and the ground once again began to shake violently!
