Chapter 611: Interrupting the Matchmaking Service

When Lin Dong realized that the owner of this tomb had actually reached the Nirvana Stage through the dual cultivation of the Yin and Yang method, his expression immediately became incredibly animated. Then, he turned to look at Ling Qingzhu, who was sitting on her green lotus as she floated in the air.

From the small characters, Lin Dong deduced that the tomb owner had left them there on purpose. After all, who would normally bother to scrutinize such inconspicuous marks in the corner of a coffin wall? Besides, if most people did not understand the secret hidden in those words and began to refine the Nirvana Heart, the end result would be just what was written on that coffin wall: they would be burned to ashes.

Even in death, the owner of this Old Tomb wanted to torment those who would come later. This truly left one speechless.

Under Lin Dong's watchful eyes, Ling Qingzhu sitting on the green lotus still seemed quite calm, and the so-called fate of being burnt to ashes did not occur. This made Lin Dong doubt the authenticity of the inscriptions on the coffin wall.

'Don't tell me that these words were intentionally left as a joke?' Lin Dong was somewhat disappointed as he muttered.

Bang!

However, just as Lin Dong finished muttering, the sound of an energy shockwave suddenly resounded in the air. He hurriedly raised his head to look, only to find that a violent energy shockwave had suddenly appeared from the middle of the green lotus, and the origin of this shockwave was Ling Qingzhu's body.

'As expected!'

This scene made Lin Dong's heart skip a beat.

Inside the green lotus, Ling Qingzhu's exposed snow-white skin flushed with a faint rosiness as an extremely pure Yin energy continuously gushed out of her body, causing ripples to form on the screen of light of the green lotus.

The green lotus flickered as waves of violent energy continued to erupt from Ling Qingzhu's body. It was evident that she was experiencing a fierce struggle within.

Below, when Lin Dong saw that this Ling Qingzhu was actually able to temporarily suppress even the power of the Nirvana Heart, he involuntarily licked his lips. This woman's strength was truly terrifying.

However, despite the stalemate, it was only temporary. After all, the Nirvana Heart was the essence of a Nirvana Stage practitioner's lifetime cultivation. Thus, no matter how amazing Ling Qingzhu was, there was still a huge gap between them. Hence, after several minutes of struggle, the light screen of the green lotus was violently shattered, and Ling Qingzhu's body was almost completely enveloped by a layer of extremely pure Yin energy.

Under normal circumstances, this might have been of great benefit to Ling Qingzhu. But once this energy became too abundant, it could become a deadly poison. If she was unable to dissipate this pure Yin energy and allowed it to accumulate in her body for too long, it would turn into pure Yin fire, capable of burning her body from the inside out.

"You shameless person!"

With an icy cold tone, Ling Qingzhu suddenly stood up on the green lotus. Then, with a wave of her lily-white hand, an extremely formidable Yuan Power force erupted, transforming into a giant palm that ruthlessly smashed the stone coffin of the Nirvana Stage practitioner.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out as the stone coffin and the skeleton inside were directly reduced to dust by Ling Qingzhu. Lin Dong looked at this sight. The corners of his mouth twitched. This woman was indeed not a virtuous soul. One moment, she had taken someone else's Nirvana Heart, and the next, she had destroyed his remains without a second thought.

Lin Dong cautiously stepped back a little further away from her. The woman seemed to be on the verge of going berserk. Approaching her at such a moment might result in being slapped to death without a chance to protest.

Unnoticed by either of them, a faint red light began to flicker amidst the debris of the shattered stone coffin.

After Ling Qingzhu vented her anger by smashing the stone coffin, her delicate body trembled once again. She could feel a ball of fire gradually forming inside her body. This flame was not scorching hot, but was filled with an endless icy cold. Under the influence of this flame, the vigorous Yuan Power within her body began to show signs of stiffness.

A desperate glint flashed across Ling Qingzhu's eyes. Moments later, she gritted her silver-like teeth and glanced at the only person around.

Lin Dong's face twitched slightly when he saw that Ling Qingzhu's gaze had finally turned to him. He slowly stepped back, forced himself to smile, and said, "Miss Qingzhu, I think I should not linger here any longer. I'll take my leave first." No sooner had he finished speaking than he dashed towards the large bronze door to escape.

Seeing Lin Dong run away so swiftly, Ling Qingzhu was so furious that she let out a laugh. Why didn't you leave earlier?

Unfortunately, Lin Dong didn't manage to escape as he wished. Just as he was about to dash through the huge bronze door, a tremendously powerful gust of wind surged from behind, slamming into the bronze door with such force that it closed shut with a heavy thud. A voice then came from behind him.

"Qingzhu wishes to borrow the Yang energy inside your body. Should this situation be resolved, a fair compensation will be provided to you."

"That's no good. My Master told me that I must remain a virgin until I reach the Nirvana Stage!" Lin Dong turned around and said with a forced laugh.

Hearing this, the Little Marten inside Lin Dong twitched its mouth in mockery of his wishful thinking and quickly reminded him.

"Lin Dong, be cautious. This woman likely wants to extract the Yang Energy from your body forcibly. If she succeeds, it will damage the foundation of your body and leave severe repercussions."

"If the Yin and Yang energy were obtained in a normal manner, both parties could benefit greatly. However, this lady is clearly too proud, making even young talents like Lin Langtian unworthy in her eyes. Therefore, it is obvious that she would not use such means with you. Don't fantasize about her offering her pure body to you. You better run!"

As expected, upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Ling Qingzhu gave a faint smile and said.

"Young master does not need to worry. We do not need intercourse to obtain Yang Energy. Qingzhu has her ways."

Hearing this, Lin Dong's scalp went numb, and without the slightest hesitation, he said: "Miss Qingzhu, perhaps you should look for someone else. I'm really not suitable. After all, there is still Lin Langtian and the rest outside..."

"You!"

Ling Qingzhu's expression turned furious when she heard these words. Lin Dong's words were too much...

"Young master Lin Dong, Qingzhu has made a promise. No matter how great your loss is, I will compensate you many times over." Even though she was angry, Ling Qingzhu was obviously cultured. Even at this juncture, she still took a deep breath and softened her tone as much as possible.

"Not interested, goodbye!"

Lin Dong ignored her words. He cupped his fist before immediately opening the door in an attempt to rush out of this place.

However, a force suddenly emerged, and the door that had just opened abruptly closed again, sealing off his escape route.

"Uh-oh, you running away isn't quite what I had in mind."

"Who is it?" Ling Qingzhu became alert upon witnessing this scene.

However, just as Ling Qingzhu's voice fell, a slightly playful voice suddenly echoed in the empty stone hall, causing Lin Dong and Ling Qingzhu to be taken aback. They hurriedly turned their gaze towards the source, only to see a flicker of red light floating up from the debris of the stone coffin, eventually forming an illusory figure that looked at them with a smile.

The glowing shadow was in an illusionary state and obviously possessed no substance. It appeared to be about thirty years old, very young-looking with a radiant face and a scholarly aura.

"Who are you?!" Ling Qingzhu demanded. Her long and shapely eyebrows knit together when she saw this person who had suddenly appeared.

"Hehe, such a violent woman. Who I am is not important. What is important is that I want to play the role of matchmaker. There is nothing better than the beauty of becoming an adult."

The scholarly man chuckled slightly. Soon after, his hand pointed in the air. The Nirvana Heart that had been absorbed into Ling Qingzhu's body thoroughly exploded. An extremely pure Yin energy gushed out like a flood. In an instant, it completely froze the Yuan Power within her body.

Ling Qingzhu finally felt a surge of fear in her clear eyes as she sensed the changes in her body.

"Oh? To possess such a treasure, it seems like your background is not weak. However, it means nothing to a dead man like me."

Upon seeing that the green lotus had actually resisted the spread of the pure Yin energy, the scholarly man was also a little astonished. Soon after, he laughed as he pointed his finger in the air once again. A ray of light shot out and immediately wrapped around the green lotus, completely separating it from Ling Qingzhu.

Buzz buzz!

The green lotus struggled desperately as it shot out rays of light. However, it was still unable to escape the scholarly man's seal.

However, in the next instant, with a sudden flash of light, both the green lotus and Ling Qingzhu disappeared!

The tomb owner, who had suddenly lost the target of his matchmaking plan, stood frozen in place. He turned to look at Lin Dong, only to find that he was nowhere to be seen as well. Finally, he could only dissipate in resignation…

...

At the top of a mountain outside the Old Tomb, two figures appeared with the emergence of a multi-colored light: a disheveled young man and a graceful lady whose condition seemed somewhat abnormal.

Ling Qingzhu's exposed snow-white skin started to turn especially red at this moment. Her originally limpid eyes gradually became clouded with a haze of desire in the midst of her struggle.

"You shameless scoundrel!"

As her rationality gradually faded bit by bit, Ling Qingzhu was completely oblivious to the changes in her surroundings. Her delicate body trembled continuously, yet she still managed to utter a low, gritted-teeth voice.

Suddenly, a strong masculine scent invaded her senses. She instinctively stretched out a slender arm, as delicate as a lotus root, and suddenly wrapped it around his neck. Her soft and tender body, which seemed to have no bones like a water snake, clung to him as a rich fragrance wafted out.

This fairy, who had once seemed like an unattainable goddess, now had eyes like silk and was transformed into a seductive enchantress capable of capturing one's soul. She panted faintly as she leaned against him, yet a barely audible whisper could still be heard beneath her veil.

"Lin Dong, if you dare to touch me, when I regain my senses, I will definitely take your life!"

"Take Lin Dong's life? I can't let you do that..."

Unexpectedly, the response came from another man's voice. As this voice sounded, Ling Qingzhu felt a rush of Yang Energy being quickly injected into her body. It swept away the burning heat in her body, instantly restoring a semblance of calm.

However, the soothing sensation of the Yang energy infusion made her involuntarily collapse into the man's embrace.

"Sister, if you've already come to your senses, you'd better get out of Big Brother's embrace now!"

Mu Lingshan grumbled as she took a step forward. She supported Ling Qingzhu as she slowly came back to her senses, and slowly helped her to get out of her 'Big Brother's' embrace.

It was at this moment that Ling Qingzhu was finally able to get a clear look at her rescuer. His features bore a handsomeness unlike any she had encountered in her life. His long, flowing hair and white robe took away any hint of eeriness that his extraordinary beauty might have conveyed, and instead gave him a scholarly air. However, the demeanor he inadvertently revealed showed that his identity was far from ordinary, causing Ling Qingzhu to momentarily pause in astonishment.

After a moment, she bowed slightly and said with in a respectful tone, "Ling Qingzhu from the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace thanks the Senior for his rescue."

The one being thanked was Xiao Ming. He nodded with a smile and then said, "There's no need for thanks. I saved you with a purpose in mind, but we can discuss this later. You should first attend to your condition."

"Thank you, Senior." Ling Qingzhu did not refuse when she heard this. At this moment, her legs were slightly weak. It was indeed not appropriate for her to speak.

As Ling Qingzhu began to regulate her breathing, Xiao Ming thought to check on Lin Dong's condition and turned his eyes in his direction, only to find a figure turned into an ice sculpture.

"Huanhuan, what have you done?!" Xiao Ming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Next to the ice sculpture, Ying Huanhuan stood with her hands behind her back. She kicked Lin Dong's ice sculpture and said with indifference.

"Didn't Master ask me to use the cold of the Ice Qi to counter the burning nefarious flame within his body? Doesn't this solve the problem? Or am I supposed to do it like you, hugging and cuddling instead?"

"Uh, it does solve the problem, but… didn't you go a little overboard with the intensity? Be careful not to freeze him for real, or Qing Tan will fight with you if she finds out."

Xiao Ming rubbed his forehead. This disciple of his had proven to be more jealous than even his own wives. Ever since she broke through to the Reincarnation Stage, she had become increasingly headstrong and defiant.

He waved his hand and released Lin Dong from the ice sculpture.

At this moment, Lin Dong shivered all over and started to look around.

"Stop looking. We're right behind you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong stiffened and slowly turned his head to clearly see the four figures. The expression on his face was quite rich.

"Xiao... Xiao... Achoo!... Uncle Xiao! How... how come you're here... Where's... Qing Tan..."

Lin Dong looked at the four figures in front of him. More specifically, he looked at Xiao Ming, who didn't seem to be much older than him and exclaimed in disbelief.

'This kid… he didn't get frozen into stuttering, did he?'

With a helpless thought, Xiao Ming waved his hand again. In an instant, Lin Dong felt a warmth spreading through his body, stopping his shivering.

'So strong!'

This move shocked Lin Dong for a moment. However, considering that Xiao Ming had managed to rescue him from the hands of the tomb's owner, Lin Dong felt it was only natural for him to be this powerful.

'Wait, who was it that just froze me? It doesn't seem to be Uncle Xiao, does it?' Lin Dong's eyes moved and looked at Ying Huanhuan. After receiving a glare that made him feel like he was being suffocated, he was so scared that he took a few steps back and positioned himself next to Xiao Ming.

"It's been so long, Uncle Xiao! How come you're here?"

Lin Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He forced himself to laugh and asked as he cursed in his heart.

'Damn! Where did this terrifyingly strong person come from? Just being looked at by her makes me feel suffocated. She was the one who froze me, wasn't she? Does she want to kill me? No, I have to stay close to Uncle Xiao. Considering Qing Tan's sake, he surely won't let anything happen to me!'

"Huanhuan, enough."

"Master, I just scared him a little. Who told him to call you 'Big Brother' and thus take advantage of me in the past?" Ying Huanhuan smiled brightly in return.
