Zi Linling wore a strange expression.
Wasn't this talking about Shennong Dadi? How did he become the Ancestral God of the Tianyuan Continent?
"Elder Du, are you sure you just said Ancestral God and not someone else?"
Elder Du puffed out his beard and glared.
"What do you mean? Would I speak nonsense about matters concerning the Ancestral God?"
Zi Linling was filled with suspicion.
She believed Elder Du wasn't one to spout nonsense, but the legends from her previous life couldn't be false.
What exactly was going on?
Or was there a connection between the Ancestral God of the Tianyuan Continent and the Shennong Dadi of her previous life?
Thinking of this, she once again asked with curiosity, "What happened next?"
Elder Du's goatee trembled.
"After that, based on his understanding and perception of poisons, the Ancestral God created a divine-level cultivation technique—the 'Renyang Yaodian'. It is said to be capable of healing the dying, reviving the dead, and detoxifying the heavens and earth."
Zi Linling was utterly shocked. "The 'Renyang Yaodian'? The one inside me?"
Elder Du said grumpily, "Of course! Little girl, spill the beans with this old man, are you a love child of the Heavenly Dao?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thunderclap sounded in the sky.
Elder Du flinched and quickly covered his mouth. He cursed himself for his loose tongue, angering the Heavenly Dao.
Zi Linling asked confusedly, "You old rascal, what do you mean?"
She truly couldn't understand what this had to do with whether she was a love child of the Heavenly Dao.
"What do I mean? The 'Renyang Yaodian' has been lost for a hundred thousand years, and yet it appears inside you! If you weren't the Heavenly... 's love child, how could you possess such heaven-defying luck?"
Elder Du was almost jumping and scolding.
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
"Since the 'Renyang Yaodian' disappeared, the Tianyuan Continent has been scoured millions of times, yet not even a hair was found.
Fine.
So many people have been searching for the 'Renyang Yaodian' in vain, and it ends up with you, an unknown little girl. It's impossible not to be jealous!"
Zi Linling rolled her eyes.
The 'Renyang Yaodian' wasn't on the Tianyuan Continent at all, so how could they possibly find it?
However, since the 'Renyang Yaodian' was created by the Ancestral God of the Tianyuan Continent, how did it end up in the forbidden zone of the humans on the Water Blue Star?
Zi Linling felt a headache coming on.
Never mind, it wasn't the time to investigate this.
Since the 'Renyang Yaodian' was said to be capable of healing the dying, reviving the dead, and detoxifying the heavens and earth, then there must be a way to cure the Moonlit Glass.
Zi Linling composed herself, gave Ye Lingyuan a sly smile, and said, "It seems I am your lucky star!"
As she smiled, Ye Lingyuan felt as if his world was filled with sunshine. His anger and sorrow instantly subsided.
He smiled indulgently, "Isn't that right? Look, with you, my lucky star, by my side, this King no longer has to endure the torment of the Moonlit Glass."
Zi Linling raised her eyes and smiled faintly, "You're wise! Let's eat first!"
With that, she picked up her chopsticks and began to tackle the mountain of food in her bowl.
While the two were eating at ease inside, Qin Lao and Aunt Chang outside were terribly worried.
"Old Qin, is His Highness going to be alright?"
Aunt Chang's eyes were filled with worry.
Over the years, she had treated Ye Lingyuan like her own child.
Every time she saw Ye Lingyuan tormented by the Moonlit Glass, her heart ached as if it would suffocate.
Qin Lao clenched his fists, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, and said with determination, "Don't worry! His Highness has gotten through it all these years, and he will get through tonight as well."
Although he spoke with certainty, the worry in his voice was undeniable.
Aunt Chang looked at the candlelight and shadows in the dining hall, her worry undiminished.
"But His Highness didn't go to the hot springs tonight. Won't he suffer even more like this?"
Qin Lao's knuckles cracked as he gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, His Highness always acts with discretion. He wouldn't disregard his own health."
Aunt Chang sighed helplessly, "I hope so. His Highness's life has been too bitter!"
Qin Lao remained silent, but his eyes, filled with hatred, appeared somewhat ferocious under the night sky.
After a long while, he finally said, "That person will eventually pay the price!"
The night was beautiful, the wind was cool.
Those outside were filled with worry.
Those inside were relaxed and joyful.
After Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan finished their meal, they went to Ye Lingyuan's sleeping quarters.
"Ye Lingyuan, wait for me!"
Zi Linling sat cross-legged on the floor, closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness into her sea of consciousness, beginning to analyze the 'Poison Chapter' she had memorized.
Last time, she had only forced herself to remember the obscure text without understanding its meaning.
But now, to cure the ancient and rare poison, Moonlit Glass, she had to thoroughly comprehend the scripture.
Half an hour later, Zi Linling opened her eyes and saw a pair of dark eyes.
"You... what are you doing!"
She suppressed the flutter in her heart and asked in surprise.
Ye Lingyuan smiled faintly, "This King is looking at Lin'er."
He said this with a teasing tone, yet his face was not flushed, and his heart was not pounding.
"Am I that beautiful?"
A sly smile spread across Zi Linling's eyes and face.
Ye Lingyuan gazed intently and said with a charming smile, "Beautiful! My Lin'er is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Zi Linling's ears turned warm, and a suspicious blush crept up her face. She playfully chided, "You smooth talker!"
Ye Lingyuan's eyelids flickered slightly. "Do I?"
Zi Linling nodded with a smile.
Ye Lingyuan said matter-of-factly, "Not at all? This King is just speaking the truth!"
Zi Linling raised her hand, gently caressed his slightly sharp chin, and teased, "So, the King of Hell also has such a frivolous side."
"This King's flirtatiousness is only for you."
Ye Lingyuan's lips curved upwards. If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging to the heavens.
Zi Linling was momentarily lost in thought.
He truly was... a seductive demon that made one want to push him down...
Even his seduction was so refined.
She breathed out like orchids, "Ye Lingyuan, do you know what I'm thinking?"
Ye Lingyuan replied without hesitation, "What is Lin'er thinking?"
Zi Linling looked up teasingly, "I want to push down this demon... and ravish you!"
Ye Lingyuan was slightly stunned, then smiled, "I couldn't ask for more!"
Zi Linling: "?!..."
In this round, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was defeated.
There was no choice. Who told her she wasn't as shameless as a certain prince?
A certain prince smiled faintly, and in the moment the woman was dazed, he lightly pecked at her cherry lips.
The kiss was brief, leaving an endless aftertaste.
"Ye Lingyuan, you're taking advantage of me again!"
Zi Linling exploded, her dozens of small fists landing on the prince's chest.
She only regretted her lack of strength, which felt almost like a tickle.
A certain prince pursed his lips and chuckled, allowing his Lin'er to vent.
After a moment, he said with a faint smile, "Lin'er, be careful not to hurt your hands!"
Zi Linling glared at him, then turned away, huffing as she sat on a chair.
A certain prince transformed into a fawning dog. "Lin'er, don't be angry! Will it be alright if this King lets you kiss him back?"
