“You’re the owner of the Heaven Connecting Tower? What a weakling!”

Just as Mu Qianyue was feeling surprised and stunned, a contemptuous voice rang out behind her.

When she turned, she saw a young boy who was about ten years old and dressed in blue clothes. With his arms crossed in front of his chest, the expression on his face was one of contempt. His slightly raised narrow eyes were filled with disgust, but that didn’t affect his beauty at all. Instead, it added a hint of slight arrogance and unbridled feeling.

What that surprised Mu Qianyue was that this young man had beautiful blue hair that flowed down casually behind his back like a waterfall. He looked like a fairy who had mistakenly the mortal world, so beautiful that he’d allured one’s soul away, causing people to stop breathing.

My god! A young handsome guy!

His looks were definitely heaven-defying!

Then after registering the young man’s last sentence, Mu Qianyue’s countenance turned dark. To think that even a child who hadn’t had all his pubic hair grown out dared to bully her as well!

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Kid, mind your words.”

“You have neither intelligence nor a good figure. I have no idea why the Heaven Connecting Tower has taken a liking to you.”

“It seems that you deserve a beating!” Mu Qianyue dashed up and pressed him down.

“Slap!” A loud slap rang out on his butt.

“Ahhh ahhh! Ugly woman, how dare you hit my… Hit my…” The blue-clothed boy’s face flushed red with embarrassment as he bellowed out in fury.

“Aren’t you stubborn. Seems like the strength wasn’t hard enough.” Mu Qianyue’s lips curled up into an evil smile and continued to deal another slap onto his butt.

“You ugly woman! Quickly let go of me! Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Slap slap slap…

“If it wasn’t because I’ve just awakened and is still too weak, I’ll definitely kill you…”

This was definitely the humiliation of his lifetime! He had lived so long but no one had ever dared to beat his butt!

Slap slap slap! The slaps continued.

“Quickly let go of me… wuu…”

As expected, after given a beating, the blue-clothed boy became a lot more docile and didn’t speak as arrogantly anymore. His pair of eyes glistened and was a little red, looking like he was on the verge of tears.

Mu Qianyue stroked her chin, feeling a little bad. It was like she was bullying a child. She smiled sheepishly and said, “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. If you get angry, you’ll grow wrinkles. Quickly tell me where this place is and what is the deal with that Heaven Connecting Tower?”

She recalled that the masked guy had also mentioned the Heaven Connecting Tower.

“My name is Tianshuo. I am the Heaven Connecting Tower’s Artifact Spirit. Your blood and psyche power has undone the Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal and thus it has accepted you as its owner. The Heaven Connecting Tower is an ancient divine artifact that possesses great powers that are enough to destroy the world. The Heaven Connecting Tower has nine levels, and this is the first level in the Heaven Connecting Tower. As you are too weak, you can only open the first level for now. As you get stronger eventually, you will be able to open more levels to the Heaven Connecting Tower.”

Through Tianshuo’s explanation, Mu Qianyue finally understood what was going on. The Heaven Connecting Tower had previously been sealed up in her body all along and it was also due to this seal that the original owner of this body was unable to cultivate and ended up being called by everyone as trash!

The original owner of this body was unexpectedly killed, and her blood, together with the mental powers of herself, who had just transmigrated here, the Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal was undone. This was why there had been the scene of an outburst of life earlier!

Who was it that had sealed the Heaven Connecting Tower in her body? To think that the masked guy could tell with one glance that the Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal had been undone. It seemed that he wasn’t simple!

Mu Qianyue didn’t understand it even after thinking about it for some time, and thus decided not to think about it anymore. She looked up and threw a gaze as if she was up to no good onto Tianshuo. “So it means that I’m your owner now?”

Tianshuo couldn’t help but shudder after seeing her sly gaze. He wrapped his arms around his chest. “S-So what if you are? Ugly woman, I’m telling you, you can forget about… I… I won’t submit!”

“Pffft!” Mu Qianyue couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “You can’t possibly be thinking that I’m going to do anything to you, right? Look at you. Your hair isn’t even fully grown yet. That thing probably isn’t big either. How can it be any good to use?”

“Y-You are shameless! Are you even a woman? How could you say something… something so shameless?” Tianshuo was so angry that his face had flushed beet red and his entire body was trembling. He took in a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down. “Forget it, with my greatness, I won’t hold it against a superficial woman like you.”

“Hmmm?” Suddenly, Tianshuo’s gaze landed on Mu Qianyue’s right index finger. He said in surprise, “Ring of Life? Why do you have the Ring of Life on you?”

“What Ring of Life?” Mu Qianyue’s frowned, feeling perplexed. She took a look at the ring on her finger. It seemed that this ring was far from ordinary. Otherwise, why would Tianshuo be so astonished?

“The Ring of Life is an ancient divine artifact. It represents the wood element that can bring everything back to life in the five elements. It is also known as the energy of life and can even bring the dead back to life. Not only would the wearer’s cultivation speed be more than two times faster than ordinary people, but it also has recovery and meridian-tempering effects. I thought that the Ring of Life has already disappeared from this world, but I didn’t expect it to be in your hands,” Tianshuo explained.

After listening to Tianshuo’s explanation, Mu Qianyue was still stunned after very long. To think that this ring was so amazing! Yet the masked man had actually gifted her with something so important!

She recalled what he had said earlier and increasingly felt certain that he knew her!

“What do you mean by bringing back the dead to life?” Mu Qianyue asked in agitation.

“The Ring of Life possesses endless vital energy and can bring the spring back to withered trees and naturally is also able to bring the dead back to life. But you’re still too weak now and it’s already not bad that you can unleash the first level of the Ring of Life’s vital energy. You can forget about the rest of that stuff. How did you get the Ring of Life?”

Damn!

Mu Qianyue instantly became like a deflated balloon. Strength! Strength!

“Someone gave it to me. I have no idea what his objective is either and he also knows that I’ve undone the Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal.” There was a hint of coldness in her slightly low voice.

“Your current predicament is very dangerous. Although you now have a soul contract with the Heaven Connecting Tower, which is me, but once you die, the Heaven Connecting Tower will become an item without any owner and anyone can get their hands on it.” Tianshuo’s blue eyes emitted a deep and solemn gaze.

Hearing that, Mu Qianyue’s countenance also became ice-cold and filled with killing intent.

“You’re to be blamed for being too weak. Otherwise, why would there be a need to worry? Sigh… Since you’re my owner, then I can’t just watch you die. We share the glory and defeat together.” Tianshuo sighed and assessed Mu Qianyue, his gaze revealing disgust once again. “Here is some marrow cleansing Spirit-Summoning Liquid. Not only can it heal injuries and get rid of scars, but it can also cleanse all those pig feces in your body, letting your body become completely changed into a human’s. You’re too weak! Quickly go and cultivate!”

Tianshuo swung his sleeves and a small jade bottle landed in Mu Qianyue’s hand.

Pig feces? How dare he scold her and call her a pig!

“You…” Mu Qianyue had just spoken when white light flashed before her eyes. Before she could react, she was chased out of the Heaven Connecting Tower.

Plop!

Mu Qianyue landed heavily on the bed and felt a sharp pain on her butt. She held onto her pained butt and gritted her teeth. Damn, this kid must have done this intentionally!

She lowered her head and looked at the jade bottle in her hand. Marrow cleansing?

She supposed she could try it out.

I wonder what it’s effects are like?

There wasn’t a single maid in the massive Brightmoon Courtyard. Left with no choice, Mu Qianyue could only get hot water herself, filling up the bathtub with warm water.

She closed the door and poured the Spirit-Summoning Liquid into the tub. The clear water slowly turned dark green in color, like that of top-quality jade.

A light fragrance was released into the air. It smelled very nice.

Removing her clothes, Mu Qianyue darted into the water and instantly felt a cooling yet warm current gushing over, flowing through the surface of her skin and entering her body. They nourished her meridians, bones, and cells…

Wow! It felt so good!

This feeling was as if she was floating among the clouds. It was as if every single one of her cells and every inch of her skin was breathing. Even those burning wounds weren’t hurting anymore! This was too amazing!
