[Ding!]
[You have received 10x The Essence of Nine Serene Spring, 2x Nine Serene Defying Serpent's Backbone, and 1x Pure Nine Serene Defying Serpent's Bloodline]
[Name: Nine Serene Spring's Essence]
[Type: Treasure/Consumable]
[Grade: SS]
[Description: Essence birthed from the long concentration of Nine Serene Spring, containing rich Earth Dou Qi and fierce quality. It could get used to promote one's physique to a higher level or refine high-tiered medicine with it]
[Name: Nine Serene Defying Serpent Backbone]
[Type: Material/Consumable]
[Grade: SS]
[Description: The backbone of Nine Serene Defying Serpent, possessing a trace of Ancient Earth Dou Qi. If used to cultivate or refine treasure, there is a high chance of manifesting Ancient Earth Dou Qi and the Defying Serpent's Spirit]
[Name: Nine Serene Defying Serpent's Bloodline]
[Type: Magical Beast's Bloodline]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: Bloodline of the Nine Serene Defying Serpent. Why is the Magical Beast called Defying Serpent? The Nine Serene Serpent has successfully swallowed a young Yellow Dragon and overturned its fate, becoming an early-stage Divine Beast!]
[Upon absorbing the Nine Serene Defying Serpent's Bloodline, there is a considerable chance to obtain Nine Serene Defying Serpent's Progeny Spirit and Yellow Dragon's Earth Control]
Baek Ain blinked in surprise. He scanned over the three system panels of his rewards, then chuckled like a fool.
He already guessed the origin of the Nine Serene Spring.
A miraculous place like this was "always." created by chance, and luck correlated with auspiciousness.
Since the Nine Serene Serpent wanted to defy its fate, it fought the center of Symbolic Beasts. The yellow dragon was by any means not weak, even the young ones, so to swallow such a powerful Magical Beast sure was heaven-defying.
Yet the Nine Serene Serpent succeeded and evolved into the Nine Serene Defying Serpent.
Unfortunately, the Magical Beast-! No, the early-stage Divine Beast seemed to have died here, and its essence nourished the lake into becoming Nine Serene Spring.
As the reason for the Divine Beast's death? Baek Ain didn't know or care.
All that matters is the fact he could become more powerful.
"Should I give the bloodline to Cai Lin?" Baek Ain pondered for a bit before shaking his head. Being the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python means Cai Lin is no lower than Nine Serene Defying Serpent.
On the contrary, giving it to Cai Lin would make her cultivation redundant and cause little to no result. Not to mention the variant of Behemoth's Bloodline she got from him is better than this Serpent's Bloodline.
"What about Yafei? She didn't have any powerful bloodline and unique constitution." However, Baek Ain immediately shook his head again.
What's unique about Yafei is that she could meticulously create plans one after another with her bright mind to ensure her victory. She disliked a frontal assault as her focus is "mainly." centered around the Rotating Silver Threads technique.
This bloodline would help Yafei's cultivation, but the sudden change will cause negative results in her battle prowess. Baek Ain could give the variant Behemoth's Bloodline to Yafei and make her stronger.
However, Unlike Cai Lin, who leeched on Baek Ain for over a year, Yafei's direct contact with Baek Ain was through their bed exercise. It wasn't effective for truly assimilating the rough and dominating bloodline of Behemoth.
"Bloodline Grafting through Dual Cultivation is possible. Still, I need to create the Dou Technique, for that matter." Baek Ain sighed deeply.
[You can use it yourself, Host] Alicia commented casually.
[When your body evolved to the Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique, you should have noticed that Water and Earth Elements are lacking]
"But didn't the system use many of my treasures to replace the elements to stabilize the evolution?"
"Don't tell me it's not enough?" Baek Ain frowned at the system.
[...]
[Well, replacements are replacements at the end of the day]
[It's only temporary stabilizers, you still need the "real." things to unlock your physique's potential]
Baek Ain rolled his eyes. The amount of treasure Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique used a while ago made his heart bleed. They are so precious that he didn't dare to use them wastefully unless the situation was demanding.
He sighed and swam up, leaving the Nine Serene Spring.
Brushing his hair, Baek Ain grabbed the essence of the Nine Serene Spring and observed the golden liquid inside a vial.
"Rich energy, helpful for foundation and cultivation's speed, especially people from the Snake's Origin."
"I'll make a medicinal pill to help Cai Lin breakthrough into the Half-Saint Realm. As for Qing Ling, I should ask her first if she wants to strengthen her Snake's Origin."
"Aih, I don't have much time. The deadline on annihilating Hall of Souls' is ticking."
Baek Ain kicked the ground and soared to the sky, rapidly flashing until he reached Nine Serene Palace.
Qing Lin stayed in her room and hummed at the sky. She smiled from time to time, reminiscing about her life.
She sensed Baek Ain but didn't stop humming.
"Big Brother Ain, what do you think about the moon tonight?"
Baek Ain glanced at the white moon in the sky and replied, "Beautiful."
"I thought so~!" Qing Lin giggled happily.
"You know... When I got trapped in the Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm, I always remembered your promise to accept my feelings. That's my driving force to survive."
"My hatred toward Snake People doesn't matter. It couldn't help me become stronger, but my feelings toward you, my savior, did."
"I don't want to die alone..."
"If possible... I want to die by your side, grow older, and have some kids to continue my small gift."
Baek Ain smiled and sat beside her, "You're doing great, Qing Lin."
"I didn't notice it before, but you have matured."
"Aih, my promise. It seems I have to fulfill it earlier."
"Big Brother, y-you." Qing Lin slightly trembled when hearing Baek Ain's words. She felt a fluttering butterfly all over her body, not just her stomach.
She tried to suppress it but couldn't and blurt, "R-Realy?"
"People who lie are struck by lightning ten thousand times, you know?"
Baek Ain shook his head and lifted Qing Lin's chin, staring at her eyes silently for a few seconds. She blushed hard, feeling the warmness of Baek Ain's hand on her chin.
"Here, the proof." Baek Ain took her lips.
Qing Lin's eyes widened in shock, happiness, and relief. She enjoyed Baek Ain's kiss as the godly man she fell in love with slowly led her to unknown territory.
Under the moonlight, the young lady finally experienced adulthood.
...
...
Qing Lin sheepishly looked at Baek Ain's hazel gold eyes. They are so beautiful under the faint moonlight, giving her a sense of warmth.
Baek Ain placed Qing Lin on the soft bed and massaged her tense muscle with Nirvana Touch. Soon, her breath gradually became heavier as the hazy yet hot sensation climbed from her nether region.
"Fueh~!" Qing Lin let out a sigh.
Baek Ain chuckled, "We just got started, Qing Lin."
"You should feel your muscle loosened, right?"
"Mmm~!" Qing Lin nodded, covering her chest timidly.
Baek Ain kissed her lips again, but this time played her tongue more and made a lewd noise in the room. Their French kisses continued for minutes until Qing Lin gasped for air.
Qing Lin couldn't contain it anymore and said, "B-Big Brother Ain, please take my virginity."
"Make me your woman!" She continued with such conviction.
"Very well." Baek Ain stretched his hand.
