Free Web NovelChapter 82: Chapter 82: I am from a remote star!
She looked down at her fingers, twisting them nervously. "I... I grew up on a very remote star," she whispered, making up a story on the spot.
"I don’t have access to teachers. I don’t know how to control my power or anything about spiritual compatibility."
Now it was Feng Yanshen’s turn to be stunned.
In the four empires, every female was taught from childhood about spiritual seas and spiritual compatibility.
It was a basic survival skill so they wouldn’t accidentally burn out their own lives or cause a disaster.
To not have any teaching was unheard of; it was like being a person with a loaded gun who didn’t know how to pull the trigger.
And most importantly, even in a poor state, it was a basic need provided by the empire itself.
He looked at her with a million questions, but Yue Yue kept her mouth sealed. The more she talked, the more she would mess up. She wasn’t even from this world, so how could she explain her remote star?
She was just copying Lin En previous words.
"Follow me," he commanded.
He led her deeper into the Temple, past his own bedroom, to an adjacent room she hadn’t seen before.
It was a high-ceilinged chamber filled with ancient relics. In the center, sitting on a marble pillar, was a large, floating crystal ball.
He pulled a cloth off it, and the crystal began to glow with a faint, steady light.
"Place your hand on it," he said.
Yue Yue hesitated. She was terrified. What if it revealed she was pregnant? What if it showed she was an intruder?
Ding!
[System: Host, please place your hand on the crystal. The High Priest is the pinnacle of teachers in the four empires. If you can learn to control your power from him, your survival rate will increase by 90%. You should accept this.]
The system sounded unusually excited. Yue Yue took a deep breath. If even the system thought this was a good idea, she had to try.
She slowly reached out and pressed her palm against the cool surface of the floating crystal.
Immediately, she felt a powerful suction. The crystal started drinking her spiritual power like a thirsty animal. Yue Yue gasped as the ball began to glow. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Suddenly, two distinct lights flared inside the crystal.
The first was a soft, floating pink light. Feng Yanshen nodded slightly; pink was the standard color for female spiritual energy, used to comfort and heal the minds of Orcs.
But then, a second light appeared. It was a deep, vibrant green.
Feng Yanshen’s eyes widened. He had never seen anything like it.
Dual abilities? In all of history, a female only ever had the pink "comforting" spiritual ability. But this green light was something entirely different.
He looked at the tiny female standing before him, his gaze turning from curious to obsessed. Just where was this female hiding her entire life? How come suddenly he has noticed her only now?
Feng Yanshen stood in the silence of the room, staring at the two glowing lights inside the crystal.
He was stunned. It was clear now that Yue Yue was completely clueless. She had no idea she possessed dual abilities, and she definitely didn’t understand the value of her own power.
To him, she was like a child sitting on a mountain of gold, wondering why the rocks were shiny.
He realized he had to start from the very beginning. He had to give her the foundation of spiritual theory.
The pink light was her spiritual comforting ability, but the green one was a mystery he needed to solve.
He looked at her and asked another question. "Have you ever tried to enter anyone’s spiritual sea?"
Yue Yue tilted her head, her blue eyes full of confusion. "Spiritual sea? Are you talking about a real ocean? Like... in your head?"
She had a small idea because of the system, but the terms were so confusing.
She knew that every male beastman had a spiritual sea where their core power and sanity lived.
If that "sea" got damaged or polluted, the man would become a "degenerate" or a wild, mindless beast.
She remembered when she first met Han Soi; he was almost at that breaking point. But the idea of actually entering that spiritual sea was totally new to her.
Feng Yanshen looked at her clueless expression and sighed. It made sense. She hadn’t learned anything, and entering a spiritual sea was incredibly hard.
No male would just let someone inside their most private, vulnerable space. It was a matter of total trust or total surrender.
"Follow me," he said.
He led her to a small courtyard where the air was sweet. Suddenly, a small white bunny came hopping toward them. It was fluffy and had bright pink eyes.
Feng Yanshen picked it up and placed it in Yue Yue’s arms.
Yue Yue blinked, her hands sinking into the soft fur. "A rabbit?"
"Try to enter its spiritual sea," Feng Yanshen commanded.
Yue Yue was stunned. She looked down at the cute little animal. "How can I enter a rabbit’s mind? And... do rabbits even have spiritual seas? I thought only male orcs had those."
Feng Yanshen looked at her calmly. "These are celestial beasts. They are not polluted like the creatures in the outside world. They have a spiritual sea, although it is very weak and simple. It shouldn’t be hard for you to enter."
Yue Yue looked at the rabbit’s cute face. She felt nervous. This was her first time trying this.
What if she messed up? What if she accidentally fried the little bunny’s brain? She didn’t have the heart to hurt something so small and innocent.
She looked up at the High Priest, her expression soft and pleading.
"High Priest... why don’t I try it on you instead? I’m afraid I’ll accidentally hurt the little rabbit since I don’t know what I’m doing."
Feng Yanshen froze. A dangerous smile appeared on his face. Enter my spiritual sea? He found it almost funny.
Most people would die just from the pressure of being near his mind. His spiritual sea was a storm of red blood and screaming shadows.
If she stepped inside without being ready, her soul would be crushed in a second. He was the most powerful and dangerous man in the empire, and this female wanted to use him as a practice dummy.
He didn’t tell her how dangerous it was.
He only gave her a nonchalant, mocking look. "I don’t want to die just yet," he said coldly. "I have no desire to become your experiment object."
Yue Yue felt her eye twitch in annoyance. Was he calling her a failure before she even started?
But then she realized he was right in a different way.
If she actually did hurt the High Priest, the most important man in the Temple. freeweɓnøvel.com
She wouldn’t just be accused. She would be sent to a lonely prison star or killed on the spot.
She was pregnant now; she couldn’t afford to take such a huge risk with a man who could erase her with a thought.
"Fine," she grumbled, looking back at the bunny. "Sorry, little guy. Please be patient with me."
