Tang Qin still remembered that Cao Xinyue’s favorite thing to do in the past was to wrap her neck with a spiky collar and stab the sharp thorns into her neck. She would make her kneel like a dog while bleeding, and walk around the royal palace again and again, until her blood covered the whole palace…

“You’re still wearing a veil? Sister, take it off and get some fresh air! Be careful not to suffocate to death! Come, quickly let your sister see if you can still be saved. I’ve found a special medicinal herb for you!”

Cao Xinyue’s voice was dripping with malice. She reached out her hand to pull off Tang Qin’s veil. As long as Cao Xinrui died, all of the resources in her family would be hers! With the empress around, she would be the most powerful daughter in the Cao family!

However, as soon as Cao Xinyue stretched out her hand, Tang Qin suddenly pulled out a long black whip and struck Cao Xinyue.

With a “Pa” sound, Cao Xinyue’s entire body flew away and smashed against the wall. In the end, she lay on the ground and did not get up for a long time. Tang Qin’s body was surrounded by spiritual power, which was obviously fluctuating rapidly.

Cao Xinyue was stunned. She pointed at Tang Qin and screamed, “Impossible! How can you use spiritual power? You don’t have any talent for cultivation! How could you…”

The Canglan Kingdom was the only country in the Divine Realm whose inhabitants could awaken a life spirit beast. It was because of this special characteristic that most people in the Canglan Kingdom could not cultivate spiritual power! This was also why Shi Xunmei’s appearance had shocked the entire kingdom! When she was born, the signs indicated that her future would be different. She had the ability to cultivate and, after she came of age, she awakened the phoenix bone and possessed a divine beast. With the help of all kinds of spirit herbs provided by the Cao family, she was a third-level spirit cultivator!

It was rare to find a few people who had the ability to tame beasts and cultivate spiritual power, even in the Cao family. As for the people of the top ten families, they could cultivate, but they could not summon their own spirit beasts like the people of the Canglan Kingdom! Therefore, no matter how talented a person was in cultivation, he or she would be treated like a genius by the entire family here! They would be a treasure that the entire family had to protect!

The guards were also stunned!

Tang Qin sneered and put away her black whip. She had found a good excuse for her current identity. “Are you surprised? After suffering from such a strange poison in my body, I seem to have gained something! I suddenly discovered that I can cultivate spiritual power, and very strong spiritual power too! Little sister, shouldn’t you be happy for your big sister?”

Just as Tang Qin was about to teach her old enemy a lesson…

The shadow beasts were carefully carrying her body back to the Abyss Realm. Just as they passed by the peak of Heavenly Lake Mountain…

The eyelashes of the man lying in the coffin trembled again. However, this time, he did not struggle for long. The mountain did not tremble or crack again. He suddenly opened his eyes.

The man seemed to be in a daze from his long period of sleep. His eyes were unfocused, and it was obvious that he had not fully woken up yet! He looked around calmly. Then, the lava beneath him started to boil as if it was going to explode.

The man slowly supported himself against the stiff wooden walls of the coffin. He wanted to get up but, in the end, he laid down again. His eyes drooped sleepily. He reached out and rubbed his neck. He frowned and said in a stiff tone, “It’s hard sleeping in a coffin, my neck hurts a little. If only I had a pillow…”

The man raised his head and looked around. His gaze easily went beyond the confines of the coffin, over to the mountain, the trees, and the flowers. Finally, his gaze landed on the two shadow beasts at the peak, who were laboriously carrying a woman. He blinked his eyes in confusion, and then slowly reached out his hand and snapped his fingers. Moments later, the entire Heavenly Lake Mountain split open from the middle. The shadow beasts carrying Tang Qin’s body fell down. His coffin was huge, and it did not seem crowded even when the three of them smashed into it at the same time.

The man blinked his eyes and casually threw the two shadow beasts away. He pulled Tang Qin’s body over, reached out, and touched her chest! He lowered his gaze and thought, “Ah, it’s quite soft, so it should be very comfortable. This person was not breathing, so she should be dead. However, the smell of the blood in her body seemed a little familiar. Why was that?”

“Forget it. I’m not going to think about it.”

The man yawned lazily. He raised his hand and gathered his powerful spiritual power, which enveloped her body to keep it from rotting away. This way, it would forever maintain its current soft state.
