Chapter 303: Bingling Awakens, Cardinal Treasure!

“Dongfang Bingling, let’s get out, it is time for you to truly wake up!”

Dongfang Bingling’s eyes flashed before she fainted. Subsequently, the duo’s bodies shattered and disintegrated.

It felt like the time was revolving as the world transformed.

Yang Dingtian’s divine senses returned to reality.

After leaving Dongfang Bingling’s dream realm for several minutes, Yang Dingtian finally woke up in the real world.

He forcefully opened his eyes as his mind was in chaos, as though everything he experienced earlier wasn’t clear in his memories. Earlier on, everything in Dongfang Bingling’s dream realm felt just like a dream. After waking up from the dream, he felt at a loss before some of his thoughts gradually returned to his mind.

Yang Dingtian quickly recalled that what happened in Dongfang Bingling’s dream realm didn’t matter. The most crucial matter was whether Dongfang Bingling had woken up.

As such, Yang Dingtian shook his head to force himself to wake up.

He then quickly turned to look at Dongfang Bingling.

Right now, Dongfang Bingling’s eyes were still shut tightly, and it seemed like she had yet to wake up. The two of them were still tightly wrapped together.

Right now, the Threads of Destructive Footprints had vanished entirely, and the radiance around the duo had dissipated as they reverted back to normal.

“Mm…” Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian’s ears suddenly echoed with a shaking groan.

Immediately after, he felt the delicate body in his embrace suddenly turn warm.

He lowered his head to see Dongfang Bingling’s face. Her beautiful face was rosy as expected, and her closed eyes started to move.

She was about to wake up.

Yang Dingtian tried to desperately get free. If Dongfang Bingling were to see them in this state when she woke up, she would definitely deliver a palm strike to kill him.

Her eyelids shivered. It looked as though Dongfang Bingling had been asleep for a long time as she forcefully opened her eyes.

“Mm…” The moment she opened her eyes, she let out another groan. It was an instinctive reaction, and it was simply her subconsciousness.

After opening her eyes, her beautiful eyes that were moist and fiery were filled with confusion.

But soon enough, her eyes started to focus and a chilling light began to gather.

She saw Yang Dingtian clearly and when she lowered her head, she saw the current scene clearly.

She struggled vigorously and broke away from Yang Dingtian’s body. Dongfang Bingling raised her palm and struck at Yang Dingtian’s chest.

***

“Shen Lang, how dare you profane me like this?” After striking with her palm, Dongfang Bingling yelled out delicately.

This palm sent Yang Dingtian two feet back.

That’s right, it was merely two feet, and there wasn’t any mystic qi.

She was back to reality, and in the Red Sea, no one could utilize their mystic qi.

“What is going on? Where is my mystic qi? Shen Lang, what did you do to me?” Dongfang Bingling’s cold voice was filled with surprise.

Yang Dingtian was also very surprised as Dongfang Bingling had been calling him Shen Lang. Even though Yang Dingtian couldn’t remember what had happened in her dream realm, he could vaguely remember that he revealed his identity to her and clearly said that he was Yang Dingtian. He didn’t expect that Dongfang Bingling would still be calling him Shen Lang after returning to reality. Could it be that she couldn’t remember anything in her dream realm?

Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling leaped out from the pool and asked, “What is this place? Weren’t we under the central lake? Why are we here?”

Yang Dingtian went over and pulled Dongfang Bingling while saying, “Don’t be anxious. I will tell you every detail. You have been unconscious for over half a year, and it was my fault…”

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian narrated everything to Dongfang Bingling in detail.

Including the fact that he had devoured the true Million Spirit Demon Flame and had been unconscious for half a year, therefore, he wasn’t able to wake her up in time, causing her spirit to stop and become unconscious.

Including the matter of him carrying her to the Foxman Race to search for a method to save her and also everything that happened with the Foxman Race.

Including the matter that he carried her up to the Celestial Red Sea and encountered the Sage Tan Tai. Then, they entered the pool and used the Threads of Destructive Footprints to enter the depths of her consciousness and woke her up from the dream realm.

He talked for over ten minutes, but regarding Dongfang Bingling’s embarrassing matters, he didn’t say a single word.

Finally, Yang Dingtian said, “Therefore, when you saw us hugging tightly together, it wasn’t because I was profaning you. It was due to the Threads of Destructive Footprints that wrapped us tightly together. I didn’t try to take advantage of you intentionally.”

After speaking, Yang Dingtian felt a little guilty and asked, “Do you believe everything I said?”

It was natural for Yang Dingtian to feel guilty. Even though he didn’t intend to profane her, the short moment before Dongfang Bingling woke up, his heart had wavered a little.

Dongfang Bingling nodded while her beautiful eyes turned complicated as she turned her delicate body and said, “Halfway through your explanation, my memories were roughly back. Back then, I was unconscious, so those experiences felt as though I was dreaming, and it was real. But I wasn’t able to remember everything at once.”

Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling said, “Actually there are things you have yet to say. Like how my body acted uncontrollably like a baby and how you took care of me like a baby, and the other things…”

When Dongfang Bingling said those things, Yang Dingtian blushed and said, “I didn’t have a choice.”

Dongfang Bingling sighed and said, “It is indeed hard to speak about this, and I feel ashamed too. But I can differentiate what is wrong and what is right. I will not vent my anger on you.”

Yang Dingtian said, “No, it is still my fault. If I woke you up on time, none of those things would have happened, and you wouldn’t have to go through such embarrassment and danger.”

Dongfang Bingling shook her head and said, “This is our fate. You have contributed so much for the Mystic Flame and have ultimately obtained what you desired. It is better for you to obtain the Million Spirit Demon Flame than that evil traitor, Qin Huaiyu.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Dongfang Bingling got out of the pool and wore her clothes while saying. “You and I are both unconstrained people, there isn’t a need to be awkward. Shen Lang, you have saved me multiple times and have taken care of me meticulously for nearly one month. I, Dongfang Bingling, will remember it. I shall view you as my only close friend. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, send a letter to the Yin Yang Sect, and I will help you.”

Yang Dingtian had also gotten out of the pool and wore his clothes before replying, “Dongfang Bingling, I entered your dream realm earlier to wake you up. Don’t you remember anything that happened there?”

Dongfang Bingling tried her best to recall before shaking her head and said, “I cannot remember it at all, not even a fragment of it.”

“She cannot remember it.” Suddenly, Sage Tan Tai’s voice echoed, “That scene happened in the deepest part of her consciousness and it is several times deeper than a dream realm. No one will be able to remember it. Furthermore, her dream realm had already disintegrated, and it is completely gone from her mind. There isn’t anything left behind, so she will not remember anything.”

“Oh…” Instantly, Yang Dingtian felt extremely complicated, he didn’t know if he should be happy or sad. Everything that happened in Dongfang Bingling’s dream realm was almost entirely recalled by him.

Inside that place, Dongfang Bingling knew he was Yang Dingtian. Inside that place, Dongfang Bingling had taken care of him like a baby for a long time. Due to her pity, love had developed, and she fell in love with him. Now that the dream realm had vanished, all those feelings had also vanished.

Of course, Dongfang Bingling didn’t remember he was Yang Dingtian, which saved him the awkwardness.

***

Tan Tai walked over leisurely from the temple while her body was still emitting a faint light.

Her face might not be as beautiful as Dongfang Bingling, but her aura had actually overwhelmed Dongfang Bingling. She wasn’t flamboyant at all and was very gentle and indifferent.

“This young lady is finally awake, it is truly gratifying.” Tan Tai spoke while facing Dongfang Bingling.

Dongfang Bingling took a glance at Tan Tai while her eyes were slightly complicated as she gave an indifferent greeting. “Many thanks for your rescue.”

“I am not the one who rescued you, he is the one who rescued you.” Tan Tai said, “You might not know, when I found the two of you, he was nearly dead. Furthermore, when he entered your divine senses, he had a high probability of dying too. If he couldn’t wake you up, he could never wake up himself as well. I don’t know what exactly happened between the two of you, I can see that the two of you have a very complicated relationship, but I wish to say that no matter what happens, please cherish this man in front of you.”

Dongfang Bingling said, “You have probably misunderstood, we do not have the relationship of lovers.”

Tan Tai laughed and said, “In any case, remember my words.”

Dongfang Bingling didn’t reply and simply said, “If there is nothing else, we shall bid farewell. If you need to do an errand, you can come along too.”

Tan Tai shook her head and said, “Since you are fine, you may leave.”

“Many thanks, farewell.” Dongfang Bingling responded before turning around and asked, “Shen Lang, are you going to leave with me?”

“Oh, yes!” Yang Dingtian replied and walked in front of Tan Tai. He made a deep bow and said, “Many thanks, Sage. Farewell.”

“Mister Shen, please wait for a moment.” Tan Tai said, “I have no intention to probe into your privacy, but I know you have a kind of holy water that can revive the dead, and I really need it. I wonder if I can exchange something for it?”

Yang Dingtian’s heart trembled as he said, “We owe a great gratitude to you. There is no need for the exchange, I shall just give it to you. How much do you need?”

“A small cup will be fine.” Tan Tai responded.

“Sure!” Yang Dingtian took out an elixir and handed it over with both hands and said, “The elixir contains the holy water that can revive the dead. I shall give it to Sage Tan Tai.”

“Thank you, Mister Shen.” Tan Tai replied and used her delicate hand to receive the elixir. She then turned around and walked towards a small room in the temple while saying, “Mister Shen, please wait for a moment, I will give you the exchange item.”

“No need, no need, this is my gift to you. You don’t need to give me anything.” Yang Dingtian said.

Tan Tai smiled and walked into the small room.

Soon enough, she walked out with a white jade box and handed it to Yang Dingtian.

“Sage Tan Tai, I really don’t need it.” Yang Dingtian refused. “We are greatly indebted to you. A small amount of holy water isn’t even enough to compensate you. If I am to take your things, Shen Lang will really be ashamed.”

“Okay, then, we will not be exchanging. This is my gift for you.” Tan Tai placed the jade box in Yang Dingtian’s hand, and subsequently, Tan Tai’s voice echoed in Yang Dingtian’s mind, “This is a section of the purple mystic meridian of the Naga Race, you will need it.”

The purple mystic meridian of the Naga Race? Yang Dingtian’s heart jolted. Previously, he had cheated Yin Tianchong, saying that he was Miejue Toutuo from the Sea of Hades, and he was exiled because he obtained a section of the Naga Race’s mystic meridian.

Right now, Tan Tai actually gave him a section of the Naga Race purple mystic meridian. This was a cardinal treasure.

Furthermore, to rescue Yang Dingtian back then, the Sea of Hades used a section of the Naga Race red mystic meridian. As a result, Yanyan had to be locked up there to return the debt. Right now, Yang Dingtian could use this higher grade of the Naga Race mystic meridian to exchange for Yanyan’s freedom.

But why would Tan Tai know that Yang Dingtian required a section of the Naga Race mystic meridian? Furthermore, it just happened to be one grade superior to the mystic meridian that the Sea of Hades used on him?

Most importantly, Tan Tai actually possessed the Naga Race mystic meridian. Who exactly was she?

Perhaps, the request for a cup of holy water was merely an excuse. She wanted to find a reason to give Yang Dingtian the Naga Race mystic meridian.

Previously, Yang Dingtian was filled with fear for this mysterious person and felt that she wasn’t merely mysterious but also dangerous.

Now, she was just like a Bodhisattva and didn’t need a reason to save someone in need.

“Sage Tan Tai, I do require the Naga Race mystic meridians. I shall be shameless and receive it.” Yang Dingtian said and kept the jade box.

Afterward, when Yang Dingtian was about to leave, he wanted to ask something but hesitated.

“If you have something you wish to ask, you may do so.” Tan Tai said with a face that still had a gentle smile.

“Sage Tan Tai, who exactly are you?” After asking, Yang Dingtian continued to ask, “Of course, I know that my question might be unreasonable. You simply have to tell me, are you from the Hidden Sect?”

After hearing Yang Dingtian’s question, Dongfang Bingling, who had been avoiding eye contact, couldn’t help but turn her delicate body. She looked at Tan Tai and was looking forward to her reply.

Could Tan Tai be a member of the Hidden Sect? She did seem like one, be it her mysteriousness or her aura. She had the grace of the Hidden Sect.
