"What's going on? Am I crazy? How can I have such a thought?"
Ye Xiao tried his best to suppress this shameless thought, but the more he looked at the beauty lying inside the coffin, the more his consciousness blurred, his will weakened, and his desire to get intimate with her become stronger.
"It's just a kiss, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?" Ye Xiao finally reached a state where he compromised with his evil desire. He pursed his lips and then slowly leaned forward towards that beautiful face.
Her beautiful face was so close to him that even Ye Xiao could smell a faint body fragrance. The moment he kissed those sparkling red lips, the soft and smooth touch made him feel incomparably wonderful.
And also, it was at this moment, the beautiful woman's eyes suddenly opened. Her ice-cold eyes were filled with killing intent as she looked straight at Ye Xiao.
"Engg!"
Ye Xiao's body suddenly shook violently, as though he had just awoken from a dream. He was so shocked that he retreated back and almost fell to the ground.
"What was that just now?" Ye Xiao was shocked. That woman just now actually opened her eyes? Was she a living person? And when he kissed her, it was obvious that there was warmth, not cold like a dead person.
He was not in his right mind and actually kissed that woman, this was something that Ye Xiao could not understand why he did!
Moreover, when that woman opened her eyes, the ice-cold look in her eyes and that bone-chilling killing intent was something that Ye Xiao had never felt.
For a moment, Ye Xiao felt as if he had fallen into a deathless abyss, surrounded by endless darkness that was enveloped with bone-chilling killing intent. That feeling was something that made Ye Xiao's soul tremble.
Ye Xiao trembled as he crawled up from the ground and once again approached the coffin. However, this time, he saw what the woman inside the coffin looked like the same as before. The beautiful woman was still lying there quietly with her eyes closed, as though she was deep asleep.
"I think I'm going crazy." Ye Xiao rubbed his temple that was starting to get dizzy again. He suddenly felt that this palace was just too strange and felt as if this place was not as simple as an Ancient Ruin where Gao Yuan, the genius of the Three-eyed Clan kept the Legacy and died protecting it here.
Now that he thought about it, Gao Yuan had already turned into a skeleton and immediately dissipated in thin air like powder after it told Ye Xiao to drop his blood on the Beast Skin.
It was as if that was Gao Yuan's last wish that was carried out by his will even after his death. This was like, it was Gao Yuan's will to pass down the Legacy that kept his skeleton safe and sound even after his death, and after fulfilling his wish and duty, his will disappeared from his skeleton, and the skeleton turned into powder before dissipating in thin air like it should have happened before.
Now that Ye Xiao thought about it, there seemed to be a hole in Gao Yuan's skeleton at the place where his heart should have been when he was alive.
Ye Xiao hurriedly shifted his gazes and looked at the arrays that he could not recognize at all, and found out that it was dimmer than before. After a short moment, Ye Xiao found trails of tempering in those array formations that should have happened eras before.
Only now did Ye Xiao guessed and placed some pieces of his guessed together, thinking what might have happened here before.
It was more likely that when Gao Yuan was escaping, he somehow discovered this palace and entered. Here, he saw this coffin and array formations around the blood-red coffin.
He might not have any knowledge of formations but he had Eyes of Insight. These array formations and the blood-red coffin must have attracted his attention, making him curious to see what was inside the coffin, just like how Ye Xiao became curious.
Gao Yuan must have used his Eyes of Insight to find some weaknesses in these array formations and tempered them, trying to break these arrays. But in the end, although he was successful, he might have been injured during the process of trying to break the formations.
That injury might be the injury that pierced into his heart, making such a big hole.
Before dying, Gao Yuan might have placed the legacy of his clan here, waiting for the right person to come, at the same time, trying to heal the injuries on his heart.
Ye Xiao had the memories of the Ancient Pill God and knew that in the Primordial Era, there were many pills that could instantly heal injuries like the hole in a person's heart. The Ancient Era came after the Primordial Era, at that time, those pill formulas might not have been lost.
But for some reason, Gao Yuan was unable to heal his injuries and could only wait here and die slowly with regret in his heart. But his will to let the right person inherit the Legacy of his clan never let his soul and dead body rest in peace. Throughout the years, Gao Yuan kept waiting for the right person to come.
Maybe, there might be many people after the Ancient Era who come to this place, but none of them was the right choice. Some might have tried to fight Gao Yuan, and some might have tried something else, resulting in all of them being dead. As the result, there were so many corpses outside.
And Gao Yuan's wish was fulfilled only when Ye Xiao came to this place.
Thinking all these things, Ye Xiao took a deep breath.
If what he guessed was the truth, then it means that the coffin and the women inside might be someone who belonged to the Primordial Era. And she might be yet another mystery left behind by the Primordial Era.
Ye Xiao hurriedly shook his head. He thought that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he walked forward, closed the lid of the coffin again, and left in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, the entire enormous palace returned to silence.
Ye Xiao didn't sense anything before he came or after he left. The arrays on the surface and around the blood-red coffin underwent different changes. At first, it looked like blood was flowing, but now, it was a deep red, as if the blood had dried up.
Laying inside the dim coffin was the woman as beautiful as a fairy. Suddenly, her long eyelashes trembled, as if she was waking up from a long dream.
At the same time, a light crack appeared on the lid of the coffin.
When Ye Xiao came out from the dense black fog of the abyss, he once again returned to the surface.
"I'm out!" Ye Xiao took a deep breath and had a feeling that he had survived a calamity. On this journey into this Ancient Ruin, he was the biggest winner.
Although the secret of the blood-red coffin was unknown, the awakening of Eyes of Insight and Eye of Illusion gave Ye Xiao a new lease of life.
Ye Xiao subconsciously turned his head to look down at the scene below and couldn't help but be stunned. The black gas had disappeared without a trace. The most he could see was the most ordinary environment at the bottom of the abyss.
Before, there was nothing he could see other than the black fog. At that time, he directly jumped down and suddenly arrived in front of the palace after a moment of a blur. But now, those black fog disappeared without any trace.
The black fog disappeared?
What is going on?
Ye Xiao frowned and when he could not come up with an answer, he thought: "Forget it, I will not come back here in the future anyway. Just pretend that it was just a dream!"
"No... wait, I have to come here. I've set up so many formations to make those places filled with Ancient Devils disappear in the eyes of other people who will enter this place in the future."
Taking another breath, Ye Xiao thought about that beautiful woman. He then subconsciously licked his lips and felt as if there was still a trace of wonderful warmth left of that kiss. Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly shook his head and he walked in large strides, heading back the way he came from.
Ye Xiao did not know how to go back. He was also not sure if he'll be teleported out of the Ancient Ruin or he'll have to look for an exit.
However, now that he has no choice, he could only look for an exit to leave this Ancient Ruin.
He also knew that other people who entered with him might have already left or might be looking for an exit like him to leave the Ancient Ruin.
After all, there was no meaning left in staying here.
