Chapter 10: Conquer Ye Qingxue! Believe in Tianming Again!

With one punch, Lin Tianming shattered the starry sky mirror manifested by the Star Key, breaking apart the whispers of the beautiful angel residing in the Eternal Night Star Palace. He patiently waited by Ye Qingxue's side for her to wake up.

As he waited, his mind replayed the images of the beautiful angel and her palace that he had glimpsed through the starry sky mirror.

What exactly was that angel-like figure?

Why did he understand her words even though they were not in any human language?

Could it be the language of the gods?

If it was the language of the gods, why couldn't Ye Qingxue, once the revered Ice Goddess, understand it?

Using his ability to eavesdrop on thoughts, Lin Tianming realized that the angel's language had severely damaged Ye Qingxue's spirit. If he hadn't shattered the starry sky mirror in time, Ye Qingxue might have lost her sanity or even her life.

For Ye Qingxue, the angel's whispers had the power to drive her insane and tear apart her rationality.

Although he didn't know why he was unaffected, Lin Tianming made a mental note of his encounter with the mysterious angel and her unique abilities.

The angel had said she would come for him in the future. He couldn't afford to be unprepared.

"Ugh…"

Ye Qingxue's soft murmurs of awakening reached his ears. Lin Tianming put aside his thoughts and looked down at her beautiful face, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Soon, Ye Qingxue slowly opened her eyes.

Lin Tianming spoke up in time, "Qingxue, you're finally awake. You were in so much pain from the angel's whispers. You scared me to death!"

With his reminder, Ye Qingxue quickly pieced together her memories before she fainted.

"Did you… save me?"

This was a rare chance to earn Ye Qingxue's favor, so Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't deny it.

"Yes, I shattered the starry sky mirror that the Star Key manifested, and the angel in the mirror disappeared."

"Thank you, Brother Tianming…"

Although Ye Qingxue had been in great pain from the angel's whispers, she had vaguely noticed someone shattering the mirror. When the mirror broke, the whispers disappeared, and her tormented spirit was relieved.

Since Lin Tianming was the only one present besides her, she believed he wasn't lying.

However, thinking that it was Lin Tianming who saved her made her feelings complicated.

[Brother Tianming first gave me the gene potion to help repair my divine soul and restore my SSS-level ability talent. Then he saved me from losing my mind due to the whispers. He's completely different from his past self…]

[Could it really be as I guessed? My rebirth caused a butterfly effect that changed Brother Tianming's personality?]

[The one who killed my parents was Brother Tianming from my previous life. Now that I'm reborn, my parents are still alive, and I wasn't publicly humiliated and dumped by him…]

[If he's really different from his past self and has good qualities, why should I kill him just because of my previous life's experiences when he's now devoted to me and saved me from despair?]

Ye Qingxue's internal struggle was heard by Lin Tianming.

Being able to dissolve Ye Qingxue's hatred and intent to kill him was naturally Lin Tianming's biggest goal for the day.

If he could conquer Ye Qingxue today, making her give up her determination to kill him, he would have to thank the angel in the Eternal Night Sky for creating this life-and-death crisis. It allowed him and Ye Qingxue to face adversity together, speeding up his conquest of her.

[Believe in Brother Tianming once more! In this life, he's been steadfast in critical moments and is worthy of my trust!]

With Ye Qingxue's mind in turmoil, she finally made the decision Lin Tianming had been hoping for.

A hint of joy curved his lips.

At last, he didn't have to worry about being murdered by his beautiful girlfriend in his sleep!

Next, he had to deal with Teacher Jiang Han from the Imperial Capital's Great Emperor Academy. Once the new term started and he conquered that mature teacher, he could rest easy.

Just as he relaxed, his girlfriend's thoughts gave him another scare.

[But if Brother Tianming ever shows any behavior similar to his previous life, I won't hesitate to kill him!]

[Brother Tianming, I hope you're really different from your past self. Don't disappoint me again!]

Putting aside his thoughts about Lin Tianming for now, Ye Qingxue glanced at the Star Key in his hand, thinking about the angel who almost drove her mad.

"Brother Tianming, can I see the Star Key?"

Hearing her, Lin Tianming handed the Star Key to her. "Of course."

[This Star Key contains boundless star power. Before my rebirth, it helped me through many crises but never triggered such a phenomenon…]

[Why did it trigger that strange phenomenon in Brother Tianming's hands? That giant Star Key-wielding angel… Is she the true owner of the Star Key? Does it need the right person and the right time to trigger?]

Ye Qingxue's thoughts mirrored Lin Tianming's confusion.

He listened carefully, trying to learn more about the angel through her thoughts. But despite her lengthy contemplation, she couldn't reach a definitive conclusion.

"Brother Tianming, keep it safe. But remember, if it triggers the starry sky mirror phenomenon again, shatter the mirror immediately. Don't talk to the mysterious angel on the other side. I strongly suspect that angel is the true owner of the Star Key and wants to reclaim it!"

Lin Tianming pondered and said, "Maybe we should get rid of the Star Key? We got other good treasures from this secret realm."

"No, we must keep it. The Star Key's power is immense and will be very useful for you. We've already been discovered by the angel. Discarding it now won't help; she'll still find us. We must quickly enhance our strength before she comes for us!"

[The Star Key's power is the strongest among the divine treasures we obtained today. If it weren't incompatible with my ice abilities, I would've used it frequently before my rebirth, rather than as a last-resort life-saving tool. Discarding it would be wasteful!]

[As long as I can regain my position as the Ice Goddess before the angel comes, why should I fear her?]

Hearing Ye Qingxue's confident thoughts about regaining her status as the Ice Goddess, Lin Tianming decided to heed her advice.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Great opportunities often come with great risks. If he gave up everything out of fear of future retribution, what was the point of being an awakened one?

He was determined to keep the Star Key!
