REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC81 - 80: Divine Hand Unlocks New Duplicate Ability! Fire Spirit Pearl Directly Goes From One to Two!
Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Divine Hand Unlocks New Duplicate Ability! Fire Spirit Pearl Directly Goes From One to Two!
Lin Tianming, upon seeing the Fire Spirit of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider being killed and revealing a Fire Spirit Pearl, also planned to smash the Fire Spirit Pearl to ashes.
Wang Yanran, seeing Lin Tianming's intent to recklessly destroy such a treasure, immediately cried out, "That is the Fire Spirit Pearl left behind by the complete death of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider. It is immensely helpful for Awakeners to become gods, don't smash it!"
[This despicable rogue, he really doesn't know its worth!]
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming immediately dissipated the last vestiges of the Purple Lightning Demon Prison's power.
Holding the Fire Spirit Pearl in his palm, Lin Tianming carefully sensed the warmth of the Fire Spirit Power emanating from it as the demonic Qi faded, instantly feeling waves of warmth flowing through his body.
"This thing feels quite warm to hold."
Wang Yanran eyed the Fire Spirit Pearl in Lin Tianming's hands, her eyes filled with a strong desire to possess it.
"Junior Brother Tianming, could I... take a look at that Fire Spirit Pearl?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming tossed the Fire Spirit Pearl to Wang Yanran.
"Take it, Senior Sister Yanran!"
Catching the Fire Spirit Pearl, Wang Yanran played with it joyfully, a delighted expression on her face.
[I thought I was doomed this time, encountering the Divine Realm Demon, Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, which crawled out from the Demon Tomb. But it escaped the unbroken Seal by force, greatly weakening it, and unexpectedly let me pick up a huge bargain!]
[Although in my previous life as a god, this Fire Spirit Pearl from the Ghost-face Fire Spirit Spider was of no use to me, this life, not yet a god, getting this Fire Spirit Pearl containing Fire Attribute Power of the Divine Dao Domain, I can definitely accelerate the recovery of my past life's peak power as Fire God!]
Just as Wang Yanran was planning to absorb the Fire Spirit Pearl on the spot, Lin Tianming's voice broke her fantasy.
"Senior Sister Yanran, are you done looking? If so, give it back to me!"
Wang Yanran looked reluctantly at the Fire Spirit Pearl in her hand, but remembering that the Fire Spirit Pearl was obtained by Lin Tianming after he fiercely killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, she still returned it.
"Here, Junior Brother Tianming, it's yours after all, since you killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider..."
Seeing Wang Yanran obediently returning the Fire Spirit Pearl, Lin Tianming smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yanran, you just mentioned that this Fire Spirit Pearl is greatly helpful for Awakeners to become gods, is that true?"
"To be precise, it is somewhat helpful for Awakeners with a Fire attribute superpower to become gods. Because your superpower is Divine Hand, it's not much of use to you; at most, you can use it as a weapon that can emit fire."
[Not just of little use, you don't have a Fire attribute Talent, so you can't absorb it at all!]
Listening to Wang Yanran's internal comment, Lin Tianming felt somewhat regretful.
He couldn't absorb this Fire Spirit Pearl and could only use it like a Divine Artifact weapon?
Previously, when he explored the Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue and Alice, he had obtained quite a few Divine Artifacts.
If he couldn't absorb it, Lin Tianming didn't mind playing the role of a benefactor by circumstance, giving this Fire Spirit Pearl to Wang Yanran to further ease the tension between them, using it as a tactic to woo her.
What he had in abundance right now were precisely these kinds of Divine Artifacts!
However, just as Lin Tianming hesitated whether to give it to Wang Yanran, who kept eagerly gazing at the Fire Spirit Pearl, he discovered an unusual response from his Divine Hand.
Noticing the anomaly, Lin Tianming immediately focused his senses to see what was happening.
When he sensed that his Divine Hand's Duplicate and Plunder Ability had formed a strange connection with the Fire Spirit Pearl, Lin Tianming's eyes slightly narrowed.
Could it be... his Divine Hand could also Duplicate, even Plunder the power of the Fire Spirit Pearl?
But wasn't his Divine Hand only supposed to Duplicate and Plunder skills?
How could it respond to the Fire Spirit Pearl like it was a skill?
All kinds of questions that couldn't be understood by mere thought appeared in Lin Tianming's mind, and he decided to take action.
Divine Hand—Duplicate!
He first applied the Duplicate Skill on the Fire Spirit Pearl, then, under Lin Tianming's incredulous gaze, the Fire Spirit Pearl split into two, each possessing the complete power of the original.
Wang Yanran, seeing this scene, was also stunned.
"How did the Fire Spirit Pearl become two?"
"You... what did you do to it?"
Faced with Wang Yanran's question, Lin Tianming also came back to his senses.
Looking at the two Fire Spirit Pearls which did not lose any power, Lin Tianming handed one to Wang Yanran.
"I just wanted to see if my Divine Hand could duplicate the Fire Spirit Pearl, and I didn't expect it to actually succeed. Here, this one is for you, Senior Sister Yanran!"
Hearing Lin Tianming's words and taking the Fire Spirit Pearl, Wang Yanran felt a bit confused.
"Is that even possible?"
"I didn't expect it to work either, but since there are two now, one for you, Senior Sister Yanran, and one for me, it's perfect!"
After replying to Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming looked again at the Fire Spirit Pearl in his palm and carefully sensed the connection with the Divine Hand.
After successfully duplicating the Fire Spirit Pearl, he had used up one duplicate skill opportunity.
Counting the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield duplicated during a recent fight, and the pre-duplicated Super Position Forbidden Curse Purple Lightning Demon Prison, Lin Tianming now only had one more skill opportunity left to duplicate.
Although there was still one duplication opportunity left, the connection of the duplication ability with the Fire Spirit Pearl disappeared, leaving only the sensing of the Plunder Ability.
Lin Tianming's Plunder Ability could only learn four skills, and all were already used up.
Could he really continue to plunder?
If he could continue to plunder, that meant plundering the Fire Spirit Pearl's power did not consume opportunities like the duplication ability, but was calculated additionally.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Tianming's eyes sharpened.
Plunder!
With the activation of the Plunder, the Fire Spirit Pearl in Lin Tianming's palm burst forth with dazzling fire spirit light, which was absorbed into his body.
As the Fire Spirit Pearl was absorbed by Lin Tianming, his body was also filled with pure Divine Dao domain fire attribute flame power.
Just after recovering from the shock of Lin Tianming's powerful ability to duplicate the Fire Spirit Pearl, Wang Yanran saw Lin Tianming absorb the Fire Spirit Pearl and rubbed her temples, feeling she needed to take a moment to process everything again.
"You... you absorbed the fire attribute power contained in the Fire Spirit Pearl?"
"It seems so!" Lin Tianming was also excitedly feeling the Divine Dao domain flame power in his body.
[How... How can this scoundrel's Divine Hand have such a perverse superpower, even absorbing the Fire Spirit Pearl's superpower that doesn't belong to him!]
[This completely breaks the common sense of Superpower Awakeners; such an elemental attribute object born from the death of a Divine Realm Demon should only be absorbable by corresponding Elemental Attribute Awakeners!]
[Monster... this scoundrel is a monster!]
Unable to understand why Lin Tianming could absorb the Fire Spirit Pearl, Wang Yanran couldn't help but continue to ask, "After you absorbed it, did you feel any unusual changes in your body? Like ... awakening skills that only Fire attribute superpower awakeners would have!"
Prompted by Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming carefully sensed if he had learned any new fire attribute skills.
With careful sensing, Lin Tianming did not find any new fire attribute skills he had learned.
But he felt like the time when Jiang Han developed his potential and comprehended new skills.
He immediately seized this opportunity to comprehend new skills, and his body burned with boiling flames.
During the process of comprehension, the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield skill flashed through his mind, and Lin Tianming, without duplicating the skill this time, successfully enacted the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield again.
As he successfully enacted the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield skill with growth potential of Divine Dao domain, the boiling flames surrounding him stabilized gradually.
Witnessing continuous miracles created by Lin Tianming, which even she as a Goddess Reincarnator couldn't understand, Wang Yanran's mind completely shut down.
[Is this guy... really human?]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC82 - 81: Awakening Battle Group Intervenes in the Investigation! Senior Sister Hua Yufei Comes to the Rescue!
Chapter 82: Chapter 81: Awakening Battle Group Intervenes in the Investigation! Senior Sister Hua Yufei Comes to the Rescue!
Absorbing the essence of the Fire Spirit Pearl to comprehend the Fire Attribute Superpower Skills, Lin Tianming didn't expect that just a flash of inspiration from Wang Yanran's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, and he would easily master it.
Having learned a new Fire Attribute Superpower Skill without even using up a plunder from the Divine Hand, Lin Tianming was thinking of getting his hands on more Fire Spirit Pearls, the crystallized elemental power produced by the death of Divine Realm Demons.
Maybe he could keep exploiting this like a bug, plunder infinitely, and learn all of Wang Yanran's Fire Attribute Skills!
What lay before him was none other than a reincarnated Fire God, and it would be too wasteful not to learn her skills!
However, he could only fantasize about it. The ability to kill this Divine Realm Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider was only because it had forcibly emerged from an unbroken seal within the Demon Tomb, with its level plummeted to 80.
Otherwise, with his current strength, it would have been impossible to snag such an advantage, a ten-level being absorbing the elemental attribute power crystal of a Divine Realm Demon.
After carefully sensing the defensive power of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, Lin Tianming discovered that the growth potential of this Divine Dao Domain Skill he learned through plunder was far inferior to duplicating Wang Yanran's.
"Haha, Senior Sister Yanran, I've learned the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, and its defense at my level can absolutely crush all standard offensive skills. However, the defense is still far from matching what I duplicated from Senior Sister Yanran. It can't withstand Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skills, which is kind of unimpressive!"
Hearing Lin Tianming's speech of being greedy like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, Wang Yanran's pretty face turned annoyed, and she flicked Lin Tianming's forehead with her jade hand.
"You're too greedy! You still want a defense Skill that can resist Super Position Forbidden Curses at a ten-level permanent stay? Wouldn't you be invincible then? You should be content with learning my Phoenix Flame Divine Shield at ten-level, and yet you even complain it can't withstand Super Position Forbidden Curses!"
[You scoundrel! Learning my Divine Dao Domain Skill without my permission, and complaining about its inadequacy, how despicable!]
Lin Tianming could feel that after this shared adversity, the murderous intent from Wang Yanran, which previously penetrated his bones, had significantly lessened.
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Tianming decided to put in extra effort to increase Wang Yanran's favorability towards him.
Now in the Imperial Academy, it was Wang Yanran who, in a previous life, had her purity sullied by the original master whom she didn't recognize, leaving no emotional foundation, hence her murderous intent towards him was the strongest.
If he could use this chance to raise Wang Yanran's favorability, he could feel more at ease when walking through the woods in the future, no need to worry about someone suddenly leaping out and stabbing him to death.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming rubbed his brow, correcting his attitude immediately: "Yes, yes, yes! I am content. This is Senior Sister Yanran's Skill, I should cherish it, just as I cherish my relationship with Senior Sister Yanran!"
While speaking, Lin Tianming also tightened his hold on Wang Yanran.
"You... let go!"
[This scoundrel... is at it again!]
"I won't let go. Senior Sister Yanran likes me, and I like Senior Sister Yanran, it's totally normal for a couple to embrace."
Unable to resist Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran had to give up. She was nearly exhausted and felt somewhat weary at this moment.
"Let's go back to the Imperial Academy first, Junior Brother Tianming, I'm a bit tired now..."
[Let it pass for today... I'm really too exhausted to bother with that scumbag who defiled me anymore!]
Finding a reassuring reason for herself, Wang Yanran, leaning in Lin Tianming's arms, felt much more at ease and not as resistant as before.
Seeing how tired Wang Yanran was, Lin Tianming decided to take her back to the Imperial Academy.
Walking slowly out of the underground Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider nest along with the only source of light, he noticed that passersby were keeping their distance, staring at him and Wang Yanran.
Next to them, the shadowy alley wall, revealing the true nature of the Demon Nest due to the cake shop's destruction, was also shattered.
The blogger who was shooting the cycling video stood beside the tent with a terrified face looking at Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran.
"The cake shop... how did it turn into a haunted house? And... those young lovers walked out from inside... Viewers, I... I must have encountered a real Demon!"
Lin Tianming glanced at the spooky ruins of the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider nest nearby. Indeed, the atmosphere looked quite eerie and thrilling.
Not paying attention to the cycling blogger or the crowd, Lin Tianming, worried about causing more disturbances, decided to leave the area right away.
Just as he was about to leave with Wang Yanran, a group of Awakeners with strong auras rushed over quickly.
"Don't move! We are members of the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group Seventh Squad, responsible for maintaining the normal order around Tianhui Square. We have detected a surprising fluctuation of Demon essence here, and kindly ask both of you to cooperate with our investigation and come with us!"
The Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group again?
If Lin Tianming remembered correctly, Hua Yufei was the squad leader of the Fifth Squad of the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group, but this bunch was from the Seventh Squad, responsible for the Tianhui Square jurisdiction.
Wang Yanran was tired but not to the point where she couldn't speak.
Upon hearing that the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group wanted to take them away, Wang Yanran immediately revealed her identity.
"I am Wang Yanran, the daughter of the Wang Family Patriarch, one of the four great Awakener families of the Imperial City, as well as a student of the Great Emperor Academy. Friends from the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group, could you please let us return to the Great Emperor Academy?"
She had thought that revealing her identity would certainly set them free, but to her surprise, the people from the Awakening Battle Group's seventh team were adamant about taking them for questioning.
"Recently, in various parts of the Imperial City, there have been frequent cases of demons possessing people. We are in a state of emergency, and even if Miss Wang and your friend are innocent, we would still like you to come with us to detail your experience here to the Awakening Battle Group. This is also to maintain the peace in the Imperial City. We hope that Miss Wang can understand!"
Wang Yanran's status as the daughter of the Wang Family Patriarch did carry some weight, at least making the people from the seventh team speak more politely.
Although the tone had softened, Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes still showed a hint of anger: "You..."
Before Wang Yanran could finish her sentence, Lin Tianming stopped her with his index finger on her lips.
"Forget it, senior sister, it's not a big deal. We'll go with them and tell them what we know, so they can proceed with their task of eliminating demons."
"This young brother is easy to talk to, Miss Wang, shall we?"
Wang Yanran glanced at the group from the Awakening Battle Group's seventh team, and finally leaned on Lin Tianming as they left together with the group's members.
The egg cake shop, which was a disguise for the nest of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, was also securely sealed off by the fifth team, who were responsible for the investigation.
Upon reaching the base of the fifth team of the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group in Tianhui Square, Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran were separated for the interrogation.
Both of them only spoke of the attack by a demon-possessed person and did not reveal the secret of the Divine Realm Demon.
Their highest level, Wang Yanran, was only Level 55, while Lin Tianming was at Level 16.
Mentioning their joint effort in slaying the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider would only make matters more complicated.
Not having extracted additional information, and since Wang Yanran's identity as the daughter of the Wang Family Patriarch was verified as true, fearing repercussions from the Wang Family, Wang Yanran was released first.
But Lin Tianming was not let go.
"Where is my junior brother Tianming?"
"Miss Wang, please rest assured, we still have some questions for your junior brother. Once we're done, we will let him return to the Great Emperor Academy. There is no need to worry about him; please head back first!"
Hearing that the seventh team was deliberately keeping Lin Tianming for further questioning, Wang Yanran's face darkened: "I demand that you release him now. We have said everything we needed to, and if you don't let him go, I won't hesitate to use the power of our Wang Family!"
While Wang Yanran was furious that Lin Tianming was being detained by the seventh team, Lin Tianming was still being interrogated.
"Lin Tianming, based on our investigation, the energy fluctuations from the demon nest underground far exceed Level 55, there are even traces of Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill. How exactly did you kill that demon-possessed person?"
"I've already said what I should. Senior Sister Yanran possesses fighting power far beyond her peers, and with my assistance, we barely managed to slay the demon-possessed person and escape. As you also saw, Senior Sister Yanran's strength was completely drained."
Lin Tianming was watertight, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he wasn't going to reveal more information.
"My intuition tells me that the two of you are hiding something. Please speak the truth, young friend, and provide more clues about the demon. This is vital for our tracking down the demon infiltrating the Imperial City. If you won't speak, I have plenty of time to wear you down until you do!"
Due to the concerns about the Wang Family backing Wang Yanran, the seventh team of the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group didn't dare detain Wang Yanran for too long.
But Lin Tianming had no significant background, so they released Wang Yanran first and focused their interrogation on Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming held firm, refusing to say more, and just kept waiting at the seventh team's base.
Subsequently, several people took turns interrogating him to wear down his patience in hopes of getting the truth, but Lin Tianming did not reveal any additional information.
Just as the people from the seventh team were losing patience and thinking of using unconventional means to make Lin Tianming tell the truth, the door to the interrogation room was flung open, and a woman as beautiful as a fairy entered the room.
"I've spoken to the higher-ups about Lin Tianming. The seventh team can step aside from this matter. Lin Tianming will be fully handled by my fifth team!"
The moment Lin Tianming saw the beautiful fairy-like woman who came to take him away, he recognized her identity.
She was Hua Yufei, the captain of the Awakening Battle Group's fifth team and his senior sister who graduated a year before him!

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: I, Wang Yanran, will never have feelings for someone who tarnishes my innocence!
Having Hua Yufei from the Awakening Battle Group personally come to escort him, Lin Tianming was finally able to leave.
"Senior Hua, thanks to you, otherwise I felt like I wouldn't have been able to get out!"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Lin Tianming's praise, Hua Yufei led him away and said, "Relying solely on my connections wouldn't be enough. I told the higher-ups that you are Teacher Jiang Han's only student, and only then did they allow me to take you out. It's really Teacher Jiang Han's influence that did the trick!"
Not expecting his release to be related to Jiang Han, Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised: "So, Teacher Jiang Han's reputation is really that impactful?"
"Of course, your Teacher Jiang Han is Jiuzhou's youngest top-level Awakened, the next inheritor of the Thunder Hall Master, the Awakener closest to reaching godhood in this era, and has killed countless Demons. You are her only precious student, others would definitely think twice before touching you!"
Listening to Hua Yufei recount Jiang Han's glorious deeds, Lin Tianming started to have doubts.
"Teacher Jiang Han looks to be just over twenty, why then, in the past ten years, has only Senior Sister Wang Yanran from Jiuzhou managed to achieve first place in the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition?"
Thinking this, Lin Tianming then asked, "Senior Hua, if Teacher Jiang Han is so powerful, why has only Senior Sister Wang Yanran won the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition first place in these ten years for Jiuzhou?"
Talking about this issue, Hua Yufei explained to Lin Tianming: "It's because the inheritors of the Thunder Hall have a special circumstance. They don't awaken their superpowers through the global Awakening Ceremony, so Teacher Jiang Han couldn't participate in the competitions organized by the Global High-level Awakening Academy before."
Understanding the reason, Lin Tianming realized, "I see, thank you, Senior Hua, for clearing up my confusion."
Hua Yufei smiled slightly: "It's nothing, Junior Brother Tianming, let me drive you directly back to the Great Emperor Academy."
"That would be a great help, Senior Hua."
Today, Hua Yufei had him released earlier, and Lin Tianming did not refuse Hua Yufei's offer to drive him back to the Great Emperor Academy.
Approaching the exit, Lin Tianming also spotted Wang Yanran.
Seeing her coming out as well, Lin Tianming called out to her, who was negotiating with people from the seventh team.
"Senior Sister Yanran!"
Hearing the shout from Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran, who was furious with the seventh team for not releasing Lin Tianming, was momentarily stunned.
But when she saw Lin Tianming walking towards her, Wang Yanran immediately showed a surprised and happy expression and quickly walked towards Lin Tianming.
"Junior Brother Tianming, they actually let you out? I was just arguing with them for a long time, and they wouldn't agree to release you! I was about to call my father to have the Wang Family directly come and get you out!"
Knowing that Wang Yanran had gone through great lengths to help him, although she wasn't able to help, Lin Tianming still thanked her.
"It's been tough, Senior Sister Yanran. It was Senior Hua who stepped in and got me out."
Upon hearing it was Hua Yufei who got Lin Tianming out, Wang Yanran then noticed Hua Yufei.
She also knew Hua Yufei; when Hua Yufei was in fourth grade, she was in second grade.
Now she's in fourth grade, and Hua Yufei graduated a year ago.
However, Wang Yanran was curious about how Hua Yufei knew Lin Tianming.
"Senior Sister Yu Fei, you know Junior Brother Tianming too?"
Speaking of this, Hua Yufei was not evasive at all: "After graduating, I've also been keeping an eye on some matters at the Great Emperor Academy. Junior Brother Tianming has recently become the hottest new student there; of course I know him!"
"Thanks to Senior Sister Yu Fei for getting Junior Brother Tianming out. I'll treat you to something sometime!"
[This scoundrel... knowing even Senior Sister Yu Fei, truly a shameless rogue!]
???
Lin Tianming was left speechless, how could he be targeted like this!
"I'll take you both back, I've already spoken to the higher-ups about the commotion you caused at Tianhui Square, they won't bother you anymore."
Hua Yufei's every frown and smile inadvertently exuded the enchanting charm of a Flower Fairy, making even girls like Wang Yanran feel close to her.
"Then we have to trouble Senior Sister Yu Fei."
[I can't let this bad guy get too close to Senior Sister Yu Fei; with his audacious nature, he might even taint a good person like her!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's thoughts, Lin Tianming was dumbfounded.
Too lazy to explain anything, Lin Tianming got into the car Hua Yufei parked in front of the Seventh Squad's base, and rode back to the Imperial Academy with Wang Yanran.
When getting out of the car, Lin Tianming originally wanted to support the weak Wang Yanran, but fearing Hua Yufei misunderstanding their relationship, she refused Lin Tianming's help.
It was this refusal, overestimating her own recovery ability, that made Wang Yanran falter and stagger forward.
Without someone to catch her, she would have undoubtedly taken a serious fall.
Seeing this, Hua Yufei, who was far away, could only shout loudly, "Be careful, don't fall, Yanran!"
Lin Tianming, seeing this, promptly supported Wang Yanran, pulling her into his arms.
"Senior Sister Yanran, you've exerted too much tonight, let me help you back to the girls' dormitory to rest!"
Wang Yanran, who had just refused Lin Tianming's support, now blushed.
"Um... um!"
[I just rejected this rascal's help and almost had a big fall... How embarrassing!]
Having seen Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran safely reach the Imperial Academy, Hua Yufei also bid farewell: "Junior Brother Tianming is thoughtful, I'll leave Yanran in your hands, I must return to the Fifth Squad now, let's keep in touch when we have time!"
"Senior Hua, see you next time!"
"Senior Sister Yu Fei, I'll treat you to a meal next time!"
Watching Hua Yufei drive away, Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran exchanged glances, making Wang Yanran somewhat embarrassed.
"Tian... Junior Brother Tianming, I'm a bit tired, please take me back to rest..."
[I can't believe I actually have to ask this scoundrel for help!]
[Considering he saved me today, I'll... I'll endure it this once! Next time... Yes, next time I still have to settle the score with him!]
[Letting him off this time doesn't mean I've gone soft on him!]
Listening to Wang Yanran's thoughts, Lin Tianming also held Wang Yanran tightly and took the initiative to take her back to the girls' dormitory she resided in.
So much had happened tonight, and by the time Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran returned, it was already late night, hence no students saw them being so intimate at the Imperial Academy.
Upon reaching the dormitory where Wang Yanran lived, her roommate had also been called down earlier to receive her.
Seeing Wang Yanran in Lin Tianming's arms, held so tightly, Wang Yanran's roommate was quite surprised.
"This guy seems to be that famous first-year new student; so you've never been into relationships because you like a younger boy several years your junior?"
Wang Yanran, red-faced and ear-blushing from her female roommate's words, outright denied her relationship with Lin Tianming.
"Don't... don't talk nonsense! My relationship with Junior Brother Tianming is normal; I just had an accident outside and happened to meet him, and he brought me back! Junior Brother Tianming, you should go back too, thank... thank you for bringing me back!"
[Who'd be girlfriends with this scoundrel? I, Wang Yanran, could never have feelings for a scumbag who defiles my purity!]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC84 - 83: What's there to worry about? I've already killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider!
Chapter 84: Chapter 83: What's there to worry about? I've already killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider!
The Demon Tomb is a sealed location beneath the world.
It is a vast underground world that spans the entire planet, once a part of the Land of Calamity, filled with countless Demons, impossible to fully exterminate.
There are even a large number of Divine-level Demons.
A hundred years ago, human Awakeners made a huge sacrifice to protect the populace of the entire planet, sealing the underground world where the Demon Tomb is located and closing off the barrier between it and the Land of Calamity.
Since it is a seal, there must be entrances to the seal.
There are two entrances to the Demon Tomb, one located at the Heavenly Ghost Pass in the Beiyin Domain, and the other beneath the ground of Jiuzhou Imperial City.
Because the Demon Tomb was sealed, humanity, long oppressed and ravaged by Demons, blew the horn of counterattack, driving the remaining Demons into retreat.
The Land of Calamity, which once almost blanketed the whole surface world, was reduced to less than one-fifth of the surface world's area.
And the sealed underground world came to be known as the Demon Tomb.
The implication is that it is the burial ground of Demons, marking the end of the days when humans were oppressed and ravaged by demons; the future surely holds the same fate for the surface world's Demons.
A hundred years have passed, and apart from very few individuals, no one knows the history of the enormous sacrifice humanity made to create the Demon Tomb seal.
But recently, as the most tightly defended center of all of Jiuzhou, Jiuzhou Imperial City has seen frequent traces of Demons.
The appearance of Demons has caused the Awakeners of the Imperial City to be very anxious.
Some suspect that it is because someone inside has made some filthy deal with the Demons of the Land of Calamity that Demon-possessed Demons have appeared in the Imperial City.
Others speculate that the seal of the Demon Tomb has loosened, allowing the Demons within to crawl out from underground.
While the former speculation does not cause too much panic, the latter makes many who know the secrets of the Demon Tomb deeply unsettled.
For within the Demon Tomb, Divine Realm Demons are sealed!
Over the past century, their sole focus has been to combat the Demons of the Land of Calamity on the surface, never considering entering the Demon Tomb to kill the Divine Realm Demons within, all due to the fear of Divine Realm Demons.
If it weren't for the fact that these Divine Realm Demons had collectively delved into the underground world searching for something, exploring some secret, they would not have had the chance to gather all their collected Divine Artifact power to seal the Divine Realm Demons underground.
Even so, there sleeps a Divine Realm Demon in the Land of Calamity.
This Divine Realm Demon is known as the Thunder Demon King, who awoke ten years ago.
Without a Divine-level Awakener, humanity once again faced a grave threat after the awakening of the Thunder Demon King.
Seeing that all humanity would become blood food wantonly hunted by Demons, Jiang Han emerged out of the blue several years ago, as the youngest top Awakener in Jiuzhou, staging a mortal's battle to slay a Divine being.
It was Jiang Han who personally killed the only Divine Realm Demon in the Land of Calamity, the Thunder Demon King, thereby reversing the decline of the human Awakeners and suppressing the Land of Calamity's potential retaliation.
She became famous because of this battle, not just in Jiuzhou but known by all humanity worldwide.
And because she made history with the human slaying of a God Creation Demon, everyone believes that she, being so young, will likely become the first God-like being in the history of human Awakeners.
Some even speculate that she has already stepped halfway into the realm of becoming a God, which is how she was able to kill the Thunder Demon King.
Early this morning, as the strongest Awakener in Jiuzhou, Jiang Han also visited the entrance to the Demon Tomb in the Imperial City due to rumors that the seal might have loosened.
If Lin Tianming were here, he would have been shocked by the scene, with the Demonic Qi even denser than that of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider's nest.
Apart from Jiang Han, nearly half of Jiuzhou's top Awakeners were present.
"Could this entrance to the Demon Tomb be so filled with dense Demonic Qi? Could the seal have already broken?"
"Everyone, stay alert and be prepared for any danger!"
Many of the top Awakeners present, veterans of countless battles with Demons in the Land of Calamity, were visiting the Demon Tomb for the first time and found themselves intimidated by the Demonic Qi here, not inferior to that of the Land of Calamity.
Jiang Han walked in front, not afraid of the frighteningly dense Demonic Qi here.
She was the first to arrive at the entrance of the Demon Tomb, closely observing the seal at the entrance.
Soon, a group of top Awakeners follow behind, also observing the Demon Tomb entrance's seal and cautiously inquired of Jiang Han.
"Young Palace Master Jiang, have you discovered anything?"
As the next Hall Master of Thunder Hall, and with her unparalleled strength across all Jiuzhou despite her young age, these top Awakeners respectfully address her as Young Palace Master.
Jiang Han didn't answer immediately, instead carefully sensing with her Thunder Power once again.
After a moment, she said, "The seal has indeed loosened, and a corner of this place has broken. There's also a remnant of demonic Qi fluctuations similar to fire attribute superpower nearby. If my guess is correct, a Divine Realm demon with a fire attribute forcibly escaped through this crack in the seal."
Upon hearing Jiang Han's analysis, all of the top Awakeners present couldn't help but gasp.
If it really was a Divine Realm demon that had broken free, among all the top Awakeners present, only Jiang Han was qualified to fight.
"However, there's no need to worry too much, look here, this is the mark left by the Divine Realm demon as it escaped from being trapped here. Its strength is clearly much weaker than the Divine Power at the place where the seal was broken, indicating that it paid a huge price to escape, and the strength of its fluctuations while fleeing was probably only around Level 80."
Under Jiang Han's guidance, the top Awakeners present also discovered the traces left by the Divine Realm demon as it escaped from being trapped.
Just like Jiang Han had said, not far from where the seal had loosened, the remnants of the demonic presence were of the same origin, but the strength had already dropped to around Level 80.
Upon discovering this important clue, the top Awakeners present temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, one of the top Awakeners suggested, "If it has fallen to Level 80 after escaping, we could actually kill it before it recuperates its Divine Power!"
"That's easier said than done. We don't even know any specific characteristics of this Divine Realm demon, its name, its special abilities, or if it hides somewhere stealthily - it won't be easy to find!"
"Just because it's not easy to find, does that mean we're not going to look for it? For the safety of the Imperial City and the whole of Jiuzhou, we must find it before it recovers!"
The top Awakeners quickly started arguing due to their disagreement.
Jiang Han did not join their discussion; instead, she crouched down and reached out to touch the fire attribute mark left by the demon.
"This fire attribute Demonic Qi... It's very similar to the Fire Spirit Demon Qi mentioned in the books about demons recorded specifically by my Thunder Hall. There is also a presence similar to that of a spider demon nearby, along with a dark, gloomy blue Demon Flame..."
Hearing Jiang Han's muttered analysis, those top Awakeners who were arguing immediately shut their mouths, not daring to disturb her train of thought.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Han speculated the specific identity of the demon.
"It's a Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, a type of Divine Realm demon that only exists in the underground world sealed within the Demon Tomb!"
Some of the top Awakeners present had also come across the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider in some ancient records.
When Jiang Han mentioned that the Divine Realm demon that had escaped was a Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, they couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
"According to the records, Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spiders are extremely adept at disguise and stealth, highly skilled in Soul Attacks, and they take pleasure in hunting human souls. A hundred years ago, it was at the forefront of Divine Realm demons that slaughtered humans. How... how could such a troublesome demon have escaped?!"
"Now this is troublesome, everyone, please go back and use your own resources to find this Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider before it regains its God Realm strength, or who knows how many innocent people will become its soul fodder!"
"We can't just focus on the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, let's not forget that the seal at the entrance to the Demon Tomb has loosened!"
Listening to their discussions, Jiang Han also spoke up, "There's no need for too much worry, the seal at the entrance to the Demon Tomb has loosened, but the Sealing Power is still strong. Right now, all we need to do is infuse all our power into the Sealing Array, and that should temporarily mend the loss of power in that seal."
With that comment from Jiang Han, the top Awakeners looked at each other and gradually agreed with her suggestion to jointly infuse sufficient power into the Sealing Array for repairs.
Under the collective power infusion led by Jiang Han and the other top Awakeners, the loosened seal was also repaired, temporarily sealing off the leakage of demonic Qi.
But this also left a fine crack in the sealing array at the entrance of the Demon Tomb, only serving as a temporary solution.
Unable to think of any better solutions for now, they could only proceed in this manner.
"Right now, we need to find that escaped Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider first. If any of you have any news, remember to contact me immediately!"
After communicating with the group of top Awakeners and arranging for people from the Imperial City side to guard the Demon Tomb all day, so they could react immediately if any accidents happened again.
Having arranged all this, Jiang Han also left the entrance to the Demon Tomb.
She planned to return to Thunder Hall once more, to report to the Thunder Hall Master and the other higher-ups about what she had seen and heard at the entrance to the Demon Tomb today.
On her way back to Thunder Hall, thinking of the escaped Divine Realm demon, Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, Jiang Han couldn't help but worry about Lin Tianming.
She also took out her phone and sent a voice message to Lin Tianming.
"Hey kid, stay put in the Great Emperor Academy for the next three days! A Divine Realm demon, the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, has recently escaped from the Demon Tomb in the Imperial City. Killing top Awakeners is like playing for it, so don't go running around and get caught by it!"
Receiving Jiang Han's voice message early in the morning, just as he was about to go downstairs and explore the Ice and Snow Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming was stunned.
After a moment, the corners of Lin Tianming's mouth turned up slightly as he replied with a message to Teacher Jiang Han.
"Okay, I will behave and stay in the Great Emperor Academy until you return, Teacher Jiang Han!"
As if!
The Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider that Teacher Jiang Han was worried about had been electrocuted by him; he didn't need to worry about the threat of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider at all.
Putting his phone away, Lin Tianming cheerfully went to find his girlfriend, Ye Qingxue.
The fortunes of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm awaited him, Lin Tianming!

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC85 - 84: Out for a Trip, and Run into a Goddess Reincarnator Who Was Tricked by the Original Owner!
Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Out for a Trip, and Run into a Goddess Reincarnator Who Was Tricked by the Original Owner!
Lingnan Ancient City.
Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue arrived here early this morning.
Ye Qingxue used the excuse of traveling to come here with Lin Tianming.
Before coming, she hid the fact about the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, but she planned to pretend to accidentally discover the Ice and Snow Secret Realm after having enough fun with Lin Tianming, and then lead him into the Secret Realm to explore.
Thinking her plan was perfect, Ye Qingxue was unaware that Lin Tianming had heard all the little schemes in her heart through his ability to read minds.
[Hehe, let's enjoy Lingnan Ancient City first, then take Brother Tianming to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm later!]
[When Brother Tianming sees that we've inadvertently discovered a new Secret Realm, he will definitely be surprised!]
[I must get the Ice Soul Crystal, and as for the treasures in the other Secret Realms, Brother Tianming and I will see how to divide them!]
Lin Tianming listened to Ye Qingxue's thoughts and understood her desire to surprise him, so he did not burst her bubble.
"Brother Tianming, Lingnan Ancient City really has that ancient city vibe from period dramas, full of ancient-style architecture. Before we go to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, I think we can wander around here, eat some delicious food, and take lots of photos for memories!"
Ye Qingxue joyfully walked through Lingnan Ancient City and suggested to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming had no objections: "No problem, we're here to enjoy three days of fun, so it's good to explore a bit more!"
Next, Lin Tianming accompanied Ye Qingxue as they enjoyed the ancient architecture of Lingnan Ancient City.
"This bridge here, Brother Tianming, take a photo for me here!"
"Let's take a few group photos together too; can't waste this trip out!"
"What's this snack? It's so tasty! Brother Tianming, ah... have a taste too! Isn't it sweet?"
"Take a few pictures for me here as well, Brother Tianming!"
"Is this a pitching game? It looks kind of fun! Let's play together, Brother Tianming!"
...
Although her main purpose was the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Ye Qingxue genuinely enjoyed the trip with Lin Tianming and had a lot of fun.
Faced with such an energetic and clingy girlfriend, Lin Tianming naturally enjoyed himself too.
After having her fill of fun, Ye Qingxue couldn't help but comment on Lingnan Ancient City.
"Lingnan Ancient City has so many unique trinkets, and there are lots of tasty snacks you can't find elsewhere. Even if we don't go to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, just roaming around these ancient-style buildings is quite nice!"
Lin Tianming smiled and said, "Indeed, Qingxue, so shall we just stay around here for today and go to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park tomorrow?"
As soon as Ye Qingxue heard Lin Tianming suggest going to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park tomorrow, she quickly said: "Brother Tianming, it's only noon now, we still have time to go to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park and play for the afternoon!"
[We can't wait until tomorrow! Tonight is the night the Ice and Snow Secret Realm opens, and it's inside the Ice and Snow Amusement Park!]
[If we go late, the opportunities inside might be snatched away by others!]
[In my past life, I heard that many people entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm on the first day it opened! In my past life, I was busy looking for ways to repair the Divine Soul and missed out; I can't miss it again this life!]
The Ice and Snow Secret Realm is opening tonight, and quite a few people will enter?
Hearing Ye Qingxue's thoughts, Lin Tianming certainly did not want to give up the opportunity in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
He said, "Then shall we head to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park now?"
"Yes, let's go now... Huh? Wait... Brother Tianming! Look over there, there's a shop that rents out ancient costumes for photos that fit the style of Lingnan Ancient City. I want to try on a costume and take a memory photo too!"
Ye Qingxue had intended to head straight for the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, but as she walked with Lin Tianming, she spotted a shop ahead renting out ancient costumes for photos and wanted to change into an ancient costume to take some pictures.
"We still have plenty of time; taking a few ancient-style photos won't take too long!"
Seeing that Ye Qingxue had said this, Lin Tianming, who was originally relying on her to find the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, was definitely going to continue accompanying her.
"Sure! I think my Qingxue will definitely look beautiful even in ancient-style clothing!"
As he spoke, Lin Tianming also accompanied Ye Qingxue to a shop that rented ancient-style clothing for photo mementos.
Upon entering the shop, Ye Qingxue received a warm welcome from the female shopkeeper.
With the shopkeeper's hospitality, Ye Qingxue mulled over which of the dazzling array of ancient-style clothing would fit her best.
Lin Tianming waited at the entrance of the moderately sized ancient-style clothing shop.
Nearby was a lovely streetscape with a small bridge and flowing water, where many girls dressed in ancient-style clothing were taking photos.
While scanning the area, Lin Tianming's gaze was drawn to a beautiful lady with a gentle and soothing demeanor.
The sky-blue ancient-style clothing, coupled with the lady's gentle temperament, gave off a tender fairy-like vibe.
The woman, who exuded such a gentle aura just by her looks, had just finished taking her last photo, and the girl accompanying her approached Lin Tianming's direction.
"Teacher Tianshui, are we going to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park later?"
"Yes, the Ice and Snow Amusement Park is also a very fun attraction in Lingnan Ancient City. Since we're here, we definitely can't miss it. Let's change back into our regular clothes and head out."
The woman addressed as Teacher Tianshui was the same one who had made a profound impression on Lin Tianming with her gentle and soothing appearance.
Tianshui's voice, just like her appearance and outfit, had a serene and gentle quality, which was very pleasant to hear and made it hard for one to lose their temper at such a gentle person.
At that moment, Ye Qingxue walked out of the shop and sweetly called out, "Brother Tianming, how do I look in this outfit?"
"Clothes as white as snow, skin as pure as ice; you look stunningly ethereal, Qingxue. This outfit really matches your Ice Attribute Superpower!"
Lin Tianming was captivated by Ye Qingxue's ancient-style look as well. Her choice was very fitting, choosing the outfit that suited her the best.
Seeing Lin Tianming's fondness, Ye Qingxue was overjoyed.
"If Brother Tianming thinks it looks good, then it's settled. Let's go over there and take some photos and videos!"
At this point, Tianshui and her female student had arrived next to Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue.
Both parties were strangers to each other, naturally just passing by without any interaction.
Lin Tianming had only admired the woman named Tianshui, the beautiful teacher, with the mindset of appreciating a pretty girl on the street and hadn't given it much other thought.
Now that his girlfriend Ye Qingxue had come out, he naturally wanted to give her his full attention.
"Alright, come on, Qingxue, let me take your photos!"
As Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue went to shoot photos at the popular small bridge and flowing water streetscape, he heard a thought that didn't belong to Ye Qingxue.
"To think I'd run into you here, Little Brother Tianming."
This inner voice didn't belong to Ye Qingxue, but having just heard the voice, Lin Tianming's first thought was of the gentle and soothing Teacher Tianshui he had just seen.
There was only one circumstance in which he could overhear someone's thoughts.
That was if this Teacher Tianshui... was also a former goddess who had been wronged by his past life!
How unlucky could he get?
Going on a trip only to run into a Goddess Reincarnator who had been wronged by his previous self!

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Ice and Snow Secret Realm Opens! Feng Lan also comes to seek opportunities!
Lin Tianming wanted to stay near Teacher Tianshui a little longer, so he could obtain detailed information about her through the System.
By understanding how the previous life's original host had tricked Teacher Tianshui, he could devise strategies to deal with her.
Unfortunately, he had to accompany Ye Qingxue for now and couldn't deliberately linger near the shop just to get information.
[Let's pretend I didn't see this time, and hope we never meet again. I really don't want to have any involvement with you.]
As he walked further away from Tianshui, Lin Tianming also heard her last thought.
Never meet again?
It seemed that Teacher Tianshui wasn't particularly hostile to the original host of the body he was in now.
By the tone, it was certain that she had been tricked in the previous life, but it might be related to her gentle personality.
Rather than settling scores with the original host, she preferred to stay away from him in this lifetime.
If that was the case, Lin Tianming was also more than happy to have no involvement with Teacher Tianshui.
He was already having enough trouble dealing with Ye Qingxue, Jiang Han, Feng Lan, Wang Yanran, and Alice from the Beiyin Domain.
If Tianshui was added to the mix, he felt like his head would really explode.
Damn original host; how many goddesses did you owe in your previous life!
Did you ever do even a single good deed in your previous life?
The mess left by the original owner seemed particularly difficult to clean up, with Ye Qingxue, who had been tricked right from the starting point of his transmigration.
At the Great Emperor Academy in the Imperial City, there were Feng Lan, Jiang Han, and Wang Yanran.
And then, there was the prodigious girl Alice from the faraway Beiyin Domain.
To come out to Lingnan Ancient City for a trip and still run into a Tianshui...
Lin Tianming was starting to seriously doubt that the original owner hadn't done a single good human thing in his previous life.
But it must be said, the original host managed to trick so many girls and never seemed to repent, which was quite unique!
"Brother Tianming... Brother Tianming... Brother Tianming! What are you spacing out for?"
Ye Qingxue's voice by his ear brought Lin Tianming back from his deep thoughts about how the original host had doomed him.
He quickly replied, "Sorry, Qingxue, I was distracted for a bit!"
Seeing Lin Tianming return to his senses, Ye Qingxue didn't mind too much.
She also stood by a small bridge over flowing water on the street side, striking a pose.
"Brother Tianming, does my pose look good? Take some close-up shots for me!"
"It looks beautiful! Leave the photography to me!"
Lin Tianming also liked Ye Qingxue's style of wearing stark white clothes, which made her stand out.
He devotedly took photos, capturing her most beautiful aspects.
Meanwhile, Tianshui and her female student had already changed into their regular clothes that they wore when they came.
She was still dressed in a soft water-blue colored outfit, only it had changed from a traditional style to a modern style.
The female student eagerly asked, "Teacher Tianshui, can we set off for the Ice and Snow Amusement Park now?"
"Yes, let's leave."
Before leaving, Tianshui took a final look at Lin Tianming who was not far away taking photos for Ye Qingxue.
Hoping... never see you again!
Whispering in her heart, Tianshui then left the place with her female student.
On Lin Tianming's side, he took many ancient-style photographs and videos of Ye Qingxue before deciding to call it a day.
Once Ye Qingxue had changed back to her regular clothes at the women's vintage clothing store, Lin Tianming left with her, heading for the Ice and Snow Amusement Park.
It took less than half an hour for Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue to arrive at the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, which concealed the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
This amusement park was filled with various ice and snow-related attractions, and its ice and snow remained unfrozen throughout the year.
It was truly puzzling for ordinary people how a place like Lingnan Ancient City, which had a hot summer climate, could have an area where ice and snow never melted throughout the year.
But Ye Qingxue knew it was all related to the Extreme Ice Power emanating from the hidden Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
The developers of Ice and Snow Amusement Park saw profitability in this perennially unfrozen area and built a modern amusement park here, differing in style from the traditional architecture of Lingnan Ancient City.
These two attractions drew quite a lot of tourists to Lingnan Ancient City.
Especially during the hot summer, the opportunity to cool down and enjoy leisure time in the Ice and Snow Amusement Park was undeniably delightful.
[The Ice and Snow Secret Realm hasn't opened yet, so I'll spend a good afternoon in this amusement park with Brother Tianming!]
Thinking this way, Ye Qingxue pulled Lin Tianming to the skating rink, "Brother Tianming, let's go ice skating!"
Hearing the thoughts of Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming also opened up to join her in experiencing the attractions at the Ice and Snow Amusement Park.
"This snowmobile looks pretty fun too! Brother Tianming, let's go try it out!"
"I also want to play bumper cars on ice, Brother Tianming!"
"There's a big ski slope over there, let's go try that too, Brother Tianming!"
Ye Qingxue seemed to have endless energy whenever she encountered these amusements, getting excited like a little kid.
Lin Tianming, influenced by Ye Qingxue's energetic personality, joyfully accompanied her through each and every attraction in the Ice and Snow Amusement Park.
By the time they had finished playing with all the attractions in the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, the sun had also gradually set.
Although she had fun, Ye Qingxue didn't forget their real purpose for coming to the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, which was to enter the Ice and Snow Secret Realm that would open tonight.
The Ice and Snow Amusement Park was only open during the day and would close at night.
Ye Qingxue did not choose to secretly stay inside because she wanted to give Lin Tianming the illusion of discovering the Ice and Snow Secret Realm by accident.
[First, let's go out for dinner, and when it gets dark enough, we'll find an excuse that something was left inside the Ice and Snow Amusement Park and sneak back in with Brother Tianming!]
[After entering, we'll head to the entrance of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, I believe Brother Tianming will definitely join me in exploring!]
[By then, Tianming will definitely praise me as his lucky star, just like last time when I lead him into the Secret Realm to get so many Divine Artifacts, and now there's a new Secret Realm and new chances!]
[This way, Brother Tianming will surely be even more devoted to me. I want to see how that little vixen Feng Lan can still seduce Brother Tianming!]
Listening to Ye Qingxue's thoughts about Feng Lan, Lin Tianming could tell that Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, being roommates, surely didn't have a good relationship.
He pretended to know nothing and casually joined Ye Qingxue for dinner outside the Ice and Snow Amusement Park.
After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Qingxue began to implement her plan, showing her performative personality in front of Lin Tianming.
"Oh no! Brother Tianming, I just remembered I left something very important inside the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, let's go back and look for it now!"
Lin Tianming went along with her words, "Something important dropped? Then we should indeed go back and look for it!"
"Brother Tianming, follow me!"
[The plan is smooth! I've instantly made Brother Tianming utterly believe and follow me back, I'm truly a genius!]
Hearing Ye Qingxue self-proclaim as a genius, Lin Tianming held back his laughter and did not expose her.
When they were near the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, Lin Tianming pretended to be troubled, "It seems like the Ice and Snow Amusement Park is closed, Qingxue, what shall we do next?"
"Let's climb over! We're just retrieving my lost item, it'll be fine!"
Ye Qingxue had planned everything already, and instantly replied, leading Lin Tianming through a blind spot of the surveillance camera into the pitch-dark Ice and Snow Amusement Park.
[Did you really think I was only thinking about playing this afternoon? I've already checked all the surveillance blind spots of this Ice and Snow Amusement Park, I'm sure that Brother Tianming and I will find the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm without anyone noticing!]
Proudly thinking this, Ye Qingxue, having already visited during the day, swiftly led Lin Tianming into the area as if entering an uninhabited territory.
Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised, realizing that his clingy girlfriend Ye Qingxue could also be so meticulously thoughtful sometimes.
Soon, Lin Tianming found the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm under Ye Qingxue's lead.
At that moment, Ye Qingxue had to pretend to be surprised as well.
"Oh... this... this seems like an entrance to a Secret Realm? Unexpectedly, we came to find my lost item and didn't find it, but instead discovered a Secret Realm, Brother Tianming, let's go in and see, maybe there are some opportunities waiting for us!"
Lin Tianming, holding back his laughter, couldn't bear to expose her.
Following her earlier mental desire to receive his compliments, he excitedly said: "Qingxue, you really are my lucky star. Just two months ago we discovered a Secret Realm, and now you've led me to accidentally find another one!"
Lin Tianming's praise was indeed delightful for Ye Qingxue.
She shyly said, "It's just luck... Brother Tianming, let's not talk about this, let's go in and take a look!"
Lin Tianming nodded slightly and stepped into the hidden Ice and Snow Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue.
Not long after Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, a young girl gripping an unsheathed precious sword in her left hand also arrived here.
If Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue saw her, they would definitely recognize her as Feng Lan.
Feng Lan came here, also based on her rebirth experience from her previous life, hoping to find her destined opportunity here.
In this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, there was a Wind God Pearl that she had obtained in her previous life.
This life, having returned through reincarnation, she naturally would not miss the treasure that was meant to be hers, the Wind God Pearl.
She only wanted this Wind God Pearl which should fall into her hands according to fate. As for other opportunities in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, she wasn't interested.
However, thinking about how many things had changed in this life due to the butterfly effect compared to her previous life, Feng Lan's intuition told her that obtaining the Wind God Pearl this time might come with some twists.
Regardless, that Wind God Pearl was destined for her, Feng Lan!
With this in mind, Feng Lan stepped with wind-like elegance, swiftly disappearing into the depths of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC87 - 86: Nether Cold Bridge! Endless Dead Souls! Infinite Stacking of Extreme Ice Power!
Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Nether Cold Bridge! Endless Dead Souls! Infinite Stacking of Extreme Ice Power!
As soon as Lin Tianming entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, he felt a deep chill sweep over his whole body, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Hiss... Is it so cold in here? Qingxue, do you have any skills that can keep us warm?"
Walking in this seemingly endless icy and snowy land, Lin Tianming asked Ye Qingxue who was by his side.
"Why aren't you speaking, Qingxue?"
Getting no response, Lin Tianming looked puzzled at his side.
He hadn't noticed it before, but now he saw that Ye Qingxue, who had entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm with him, was gone.
His heart skipped a beat, Lin Tianming took a deep breath and was again frozen by the chill in the air.
Not daring to breathe deeply again, Lin Tianming quickly looked around trying to find Ye Qingxue, but he could see nothing around him.
Moreover, the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm that he and Ye Qingxue had entered had also disappeared, and everything around was a boundless world of ice and snow.
Previously, when he entered the Lost Land and the Mechanical Secret Realm, Lin Tianming had never encountered such a situation where no exit could be found.
"Is this the Ice and Snow Secret Realm? It seems I can only rely on myself for now. Qingxue has an Ice Attribute Superpower, and probably feels like a fish in water here, not likely facing any danger."
Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming also summoned the violent Thunder Power all around his body.
Furious Thunder Armor!
With the Thunder Armor on, Lin Tianming attempted to use its defensive power to resist the cold air here.
The bone-chilling cold of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm ignored his Furious Thunder Armor, penetrating his body and still making him feel extremely cold.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he would turn into an ice sculpture, becoming a part of the landscape in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
Lin Tianming didn't want to become an ice sculpture for future visitors to see; he once again used the new Fire Attribute Skill he had learned from Wang Yanran.
Phoenix Flame Divine Shield!
The intense Phoenix Flame transformed into a divine shield that enveloped his entire body, instantly shielding Lin Tianming from the harsh cold wind and ice.
Moreover, the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield also provided Lin Tianming with a warm current, warming his body.
"It seems that in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Senior Sister Yanran's Fire Attribute Skills are more useful!"
Feeling much warmer, Lin Tianming also praised the usefulness of Wang Yanran's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
No longer worried about the harsh frosty weather corroding him, Lin Tianming continued forward.
It didn't take long for Lin Tianming to come before an ice bridge.
All around was a bottomless abyss of ice and snow, with only one ice bridge available for Lin Tianming to continue forward.
In front of the ice bridge, there was also a stele frozen in solid ice, inscribed with a long-lost type of script.
Relying on the theoretical knowledge he'd learned at the Awakener Preparatory Academy, Lin Tianming could still recognize the characters on it.
Lin Tianming murmured the name of the bridge: "Nether Cold Bridge..."
What he was most concerned about was that character "Nether."
Could it refer to the Netherworld?
While pondering, Lin Tianming also looked at the Nether Cold Bridge that spanned the abyss.
There were three living people on the Nether Cold Bridge.
However, the situation of these three did not look optimistic, as their feet were frozen in place.
Lin Tianming remembered Ye Qingxue mentioning that on the first day the Ice and Snow Secret Realm opened, quite a few people would enter seeking fortunes.
It seems these three were the other explorers aside from him and Ye Qingxue.
"Darn it! Although I possess an Ice Attribute Superpower, walking on this Nether Cold Bridge is still very difficult. I hadn't walked half the length of the bridge when my feet got frozen!"
"It's over! That terrifying Extreme Ice Power is still creeping upwards, if this continues, my whole body will be frozen here!"
"Quickly, think of something! We came here to find fortune; I certainly don't want to die here!"
Under Lin Tianming's watch, the ice that froze those three was visibly creeping upward.
In just a few seconds, the ice that crept up from below had reached their waists, and in a few seconds, they would be completely frozen.
Lin Tianming hesitated, then stepped onto the Nether Cold Bridge.
As soon as he stepped onto the Nether Cold Bridge, Lin Tianming felt an extremely intense Cold Ice Power furiously assaulting his Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, attempting to freeze him in place just like the three ahead.
Luckily, the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, a growth skill from the Divine Dao Domain, granted Lin Tianming tremendous defensive power at Level 16, temporarily resisting the more intense Extreme Ice Power from the Nether Cold Bridge.
At the same time, the three people ahead of Lin Tianming had already been frozen into three human-shaped ice sculptures.
Their life force was also gradually diminishing after being turned into ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming continued forward and soon reached where the three were.
Suddenly, the entire Nether Cold Bridge violently trembled, and the unseen ice abyss below issued eerie, spine-chilling wails.
Following this, the cold air surrounding them was no longer just the Extreme Ice Power, but also exuded waves of sinister aura, as if grievances were circling around.
One after another, shadows of Dead Souls emitting Netherworld Cold Air gradually appeared before Lin Tianming, attacking him.
His pupils slightly constricted, and Lin Tianming immediately stomped down on the Nether Cold Bridge.
Thunderous Trample!
Under Lin Tianming's Thunderous Trample, the entire Nether Cold Bridge shook even more violently.
But the surrounding Netherworld Souls attacking him were also struck, their souls scattering.
Just as he thought it was over, even more Dead Souls emitting the cold air of the Netherworld appeared, launching a new wave of attacks against Lin Tianming.
At this moment, Lin Tianming also understood the meaning of the Nether Cold Bridge; apart from the Extreme Ice Power that freezes everything, there were also Netherworld Souls carrying a sinister air roaming to claim lives.
Lin Tianming's intuition told him that these densely cold Dead Souls were likely endless, and staying on this bridge would eventually lead to his demise.
For his own safety, Lin Tianming decided to quickly cross the bridge.
Thunderstorm Frenzy!
With the speed boost from Thunderstorm Frenzy, Lin Tianming advanced forward with even greater ferocity.
Without confronting those newly born Dead Souls directly, Lin Tianming temporarily dodged a bullet.
However, those three frozen in place were doomed.
The Dead Souls, emitting cold deathly air, pounced on their ice sculptures and gnawed at them brutally.
In just a short moment, the three were completely devoured by the Dead Souls, along with their ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming continued to move forward.
However, as Lin Tianming advanced, the Extreme Ice Power that seemed to freeze everything became even stronger.
Even though Lin Tianming's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield was truly strong, it started to develop cracks.
What's worse, in front of Lin Tianming appeared newer Dead Souls, blocking his path.
From the left, right, above, below, and even from behind where he came from, these Dead Souls surrounded him completely, from all angles.
They each emitted a chilly cold air, showing a greedy drooling look at Lin Tianming, a living person.
Accompanied by the creepy howls of the Dead Souls, all of them pounced towards Lin Tianming.
Thunderous Trample!
Spiritual Power Storm!
Lin Tianming consecutively used his two attack skills, and under the enhancement from Thunderstorm Frenzy previously, the terrifying Thunder Power spread from the center of Lin Tianming to all around.
A tornado raged with the power of Spiritual Power Ascension, protecting Lin Tianming at the eye of the storm, attacking all the incoming Dead Souls around him.
Under the power of these two high attack skills of Lin Tianming, all the Dead Souls from all directions were shattered to pieces.
Just as Lin Tianming thought to seize this opportunity to move forward, even more Dead Souls appeared around him at a faster pace.
"As long as I'm on this bridge, these Dead Souls seem to be endless!"
The Extreme Ice Power, capable of freezing everything, also grew stronger and stronger.
Accompanied by the sound of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield shattering, Lin Tianming also lost his most potent defensive skill protection.
In an instant, the Extreme Ice Power, which had been accumulating power, also froze Lin Tianming into an ice sculpture.
The thing Lin Tianming least wanted to see still happened; those newly born Dead Souls also pounced one after another towards him.
Soon, Lin Tianming, turned into an ice sculpture, was surrounded by numerous life-claiming Dead Souls.
They viciously gnawed at the ice sculpture, attempting to eat Lin Tianming along with the ice.

Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Heart Over Matter State Exhibits its Power Again! A Significant Boost from Crossing the Nether Cold Bridge!
In this moment of crisis, the silver-white radiance of Mechanical Ascension shimmered as Lin Tianming promptly executed Mechanical Transformation, transforming into a Mechanical Body.
The solid ice was instantly shattered by Lin Tianming's Mechanical Body, and those Dead Souls that threw themselves at him were also incinerated by the fiercely burning Spirit Body Sparks at close range.
"I'm not afraid of these Dead Souls; my Spirit Body Sparks and Spiritual Power Storm are both skills that attack the soul. These intangible beings cannot withstand my attacks, but there are simply too many of them!"
Having just exterminated a group of Dead Souls with Spirit Body Sparks, Lin Tianming was immediately besieged by another wave.
That terrifying Extreme Ice Power, still accumulating over time, froze his Mechanical Body again the moment Lin Tianming took a step forward.
Indeed, the most troublesome thing was the Extreme Ice Power on this bridge!
In his Mechanical Body form, Lin Tianming once again shattered the ice that had frozen him and raised the blistering Phoenix Flame Divine Shield around him.
With the dual enhancement of Mechanical Transformation and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, Lin Tianming was finally able to proceed.
Disregarding the incessant stream of Dead Souls, Lin Tianming no longer wanted to use his Spiritual Power Ascension Skill.
Through several interventions, Lin Tianming picked up on a pattern.
The more Dead Souls he killed, the more appeared; if he didn't kill any, no more would show up. It seemed better to keep their number constant.
The Dead Souls, emanating a chilling aura, pounced, madly tearing at his Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
As he progressed further, the increasingly intense Extreme Ice Power eroded his shield, and it quickly shattered.
The Dead Souls then clung to his Mechanical Body and tore at it, but no matter how they ripped, the Mechanical Body remained undamaged.
Initially, Lin Tianming wanted to continue deploying the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield to keep the Dead Souls out, but seeing that they couldn't breach his Mechanical Body's defenses, he suddenly stopped.
"The results of Teacher Jiang Han's Thunder Pond Baptism training are indeed effective!"
Nevertheless, he still needed to guard against the external erosion by Extreme Ice Power; otherwise, he would end up frozen in place again.
With that thought, Lin Tianming once again deployed the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
However, this time, his Phoenix Flame Divine Shield also encircled the Dead Souls that were chaotically biting at his Mechanical Body.
"Bite! Put some effort into it! If you manage to bite through, I lose!"
Unbreached, Lin Tianming yawned, letting the Dead Souls tear at him.
Continuing forward, because of Lin Tianming's strategy, the number of Dead Souls remained constant at the number last time he killed them and did not increase with each subsequent kill.
The method to handle Dead Souls was correct, but Lin Tianming still had to face the threat of increasing Extreme Ice Power with every step he took.
There was still a long distance to reach the other side of Nether Cold Bridge. Analyzing the rapidly increasing Cold Ice Power around him, he realized he wouldn't be able to walk much further; even if both the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body were protecting him, he would most likely still be frozen.
And this time, frozen to a degree he wouldn't be able to forcibly shatter!
Thinking this, Lin Tianming halted his steps, and the chilling aura intensifying around him every second also stopped growing.
"Along this path, these Dead Souls' biting and the cold invasion seem to have significantly strengthened the defenses of my Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Transformation Skills since I first deployed them.
Perhaps I should stop here, much like when I first underwent Teacher Jiang Han's Thunder Pond Baptism, and wait until my defenses in my Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body are strong enough to complete the crossing of Nether Cold Bridge before proceeding?"
Upon thinking this, Lin Tianming was even more resolute in standing still.
Though Nether Cold Bridge seemed extremely dangerous, it was actually an opportunity for him.
Why not take this chance to refine his Mechanical Transformation and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield on Nether Cold Bridge!
It's only a pity that his Furious Thunder Armor couldn't resist the cold invasion and couldn't be trained on this bridge.
However, being able to train the defenses of the Mechanical Transformation and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield was not bad.
With that thought, Lin Tianming sat down on the spot, fully activating his Mechanical Transformation and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
He still opted not to kill those Dead Souls to prevent their numbers from increasing and posing an even greater threat.
Lin Tianming's exercise in defense also required consideration of his physical energy use.
If enhancing the defenses of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Transformation to the limit caused him to exhaust his strength and be unable to walk, even if his defenses increased significantly, he would still end up perishing on Nether Cold Bridge.
"This is not like Teacher Jiang Han's special training where she would remove the Thunder Pool when I reached my limit. Here, no one will give me a hand to rest if I hit my limit, I must constantly manage my physical energy consumption..."
Advising himself, Lin Tianming constantly monitored his energy usage to avoid any irreversible accidents.
As time passed, Lin Tianming's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body, due to the perilous trials of Nether Cold Bridge, gradually gained enhanced defenses against the cold invasion and Dead Souls' attacks.
His inner strength, too, due to this training accompanied by the threat of death, was rapidly depleting at an astonishing rate.
When he had exhausted two-thirds of his physical energy, Lin Tianming calculated based on his remaining stamina and the current defensive strength of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body, concluding that he could not continue to cultivate and improve his skills in place.
"It seems this is the limit of training here. Continuing to enhance the defensive power when my physical energy is nearly depleted will not allow me to leave this Nether Cold Bridge. But now the problem is that while I have sufficient energy, the defense still seems a bit lacking..."
Trapped in a dilemma Lin Tianming least wanted to face, neither advancing nor retreating was an option.
Lin Tianming's eyes slightly narrowed, and he ultimately resolutely took steps forward.
As Lin Tianming resumed his journey, the cold air that had stopped increasing began to surge violently again.
Fortunately, the defense enhancement he had stopped to make earlier was sufficient; the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield could temporarily fend off the initial onslaught of the cold.
Together with the boost from the Mechanical Body, Lin Tianming ignored the Dead Souls still clinging to his body and chewing randomly, quickening his pace.
However, as Lin Tianming drew closer to the other side of the Nether Cold Bridge, the surrounding icy cold also escalated to his limit.
His rapid pace was severely hindered, and the steps of Lin Tianming grew slower under the encroachment of the cold air.
Maintaining just the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body was nearing its limit.
Once the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body completely shattered, the originally non-threatening Dead Souls would devour him completely.
As Lin Tianming had analyzed when he had restarted his journey, his physical energy was sufficient, but his defense was still lacking.
Just a few steps away, he could no longer maintain his Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Body.
The shattering of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield allowed the heart-chilling cold air and ice to erode his body even more brutally.
Unable to maintain the Mechanical Body, Lin Tianming in his Physical Body not only trembled all over from the cold but also suffered terrifying bloody marks left by the bites of Dead Souls, which previously posed no threat.
"Get lost! Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Boom!
A Spiritual Power Storm instantly tore those Dead Souls, that had bitten Lin Tianming full of wounds, into pieces, and Lin Tianming's body also gradually became ethereal.
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
Since the Mechanical Body couldn't be maintained, use the Soul Spirit Body to swiftly cross the Nether Cold Bridge!
However, Lin Tianming greatly underestimated the Cold Ice Power of the Nether Cold Bridge, which was an Ice Attribute Power capable of freezing even the soul.
In the last few steps, as Lin Tianming entered the state of Soul Spirit Body, he instead endured an even more sinister and terrifying cold.
His Spiritual Body was instantly frozen, and due to his actions of killing those Dead Souls, the number of new Dead Souls also doubled and lunged at him with renewed ferocity.
He must not die yet!
A strong desire to survive emerged within Lin Tianming. In this critical moment, Lin Tianming once again triggered the supreme Heart Over Matter Mental State.
The powerful Spiritual Power Ascension Force, in response to Lin Tianming's undying desire, infused him with powerful strength to enhance the two critical skills needed to cross the Nether Cold Bridge.
Feeling a significant surge in the capability of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Transformation to resist the cold encroachment, Lin Tianming also felt a surge of joy.
Phoenix Flame Divine Shield!
Mechanical Transformation!
The blazing Phoenix Intense Flames transformed into a Flame Divine Shield, burning away the solid ice that had frozen Lin Tianming's Spiritual Body.
Lin Tianming's Spiritual Body once again transformed into a Mechanical Body, unharmed under the assault of those greatly increased numbers of Dead Souls.
As Lin Tianming took the final steps forward, those Dead Souls, upon leaving the Nether Cold Bridge, dissipated on their own.
The terrifying cold imposed upon Lin Tianming by the Nether Cold Bridge also dissipated in an instant, giving Lin Tianming a sense of great relief.
With his intense will to live fulfilled, the Light of Spiritual Ascension that enveloped him also dispersed, allowing him to exit the highest state of the Heart Over Matter Spiritual Power Ascension Path.
"I finally made it through. It would be great if this Heart Over Matter Mental State of Spiritual Power Ascension could be triggered at any time. That was truly a close call, but luckily it was a close shave. This journey across the Nether Cold Bridge also brought substantial improvements!"
While speaking, Lin Tianming also excitedly felt the tremendous enhancement in the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield and Mechanical Transformation's ability to resist cold encroachment.
Just as Lin Tianming was preparing to continue his journey, he sensed the rise of an extremely powerful high-level Water Attribute Superpower from the Nether Cold Bridge behind him.
Already beyond the Nether Cold Bridge, Lin Tianming turned back and saw a beautiful, gentle woman emitting a water-like aura rapidly crossing the Nether Cold Bridge on surging waves.
Seeing this gentle woman appear suddenly, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel a tingling on his scalp.
Isn't this the same Teacher Tianshui who was also tricked by the original owner during the day?
