Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 121 7 Yu has a sign language level certificate?

In spring, Yan Huai ran wildly through the dense forest, scaring away a male snake that didn't even have time to pull up its pants—if it had pants at all.

What did he just do?! He kissed Zhang Qiling?! Holy crap...

Yan Huai, his face flushed, slammed on the brakes next to a tree. He turned around, grabbed the tree, dug his fingers into the trunk, and rammed his head into it.

His lips were still numb, and his breathing was erratic. Yan Huai felt hot all over. He pulled his mouth back and scraped it with his teeth again and again. Was he savoring the taste? Maybe a little, but mostly he was just scared.

As for Zhang Qiling on the other side, compared to Yan Huai, he recovered his emotions relatively quickly, because after that fleeting kiss, another voice rang in his mind—

"Hello Zhang Qiling, I am Qiyu. Next, please take over Yan Huai's eleventh mission. The mission is as follows: While meeting Yan Huai and the others here, please find out the general situation of the underwater tomb in Xisha from Wang Xu. But during the investigation, be careful of Wang Xu's eyes!"

"The rewards for completing the mission are as follows: restoration of memories from 1984; night vision; increase of Qilin bloodline purity to 83% (currently the bloodline purity is 63%); Yan Huai's physical image; and the opportunity for a double binding of fate (only applies to the soul, and only Zhang Qiling can know about it)."

"..." Even more bizarre than the strange things encountered in the tomb, Zhang Qiling, who was unaware of the situation, remained silent for the time being, only using the vigilance in his eyes to cover up his confusion.

Qi Yu sensed Zhang Qiling's emotional fluctuations, and his voice subconsciously softened, just like Yan Huai's.

“I am in your sea of ​​consciousness, but I have no ill intentions. The barrier that blocked those tentacles was built by me using system energy. Yan Huai is my master.”

"?"

"Because you encountered the Ghost Golden Sheep in the underwater tomb, and your master, like you, has incomplete memories and is unable to protect your soul, in order to prevent your soul from being exiled by the world's rules, I entered your sea of ​​consciousness in a moment of desperation and protected your soul. However, later, due to insufficient energy, I could only temporarily fall into hibernation in your sea of ​​consciousness, waiting for the day when the energy is restored."

"Just now?"

"Yes, just now, the system energy was replenished and is now sufficient to support the issuance of the next mission. One reason is that the system energy itself has recovered to some extent, and another reason is that the master just kissed you, leaving his mark of shared destiny, which indirectly supplied energy to the system that gave him the ability of shared destiny."

"..." It must have been a twist of fate.

"Hehe~ No! Before we were bound together, Master already loved you. After we were bound, this feeling will be amplified even more. So, in human terms, it's more accurate to say that we couldn't help ourselves. You should have felt the same attraction because you also have the same affection for Master!"

“(ー`′ー)”

"Uh... I can't return to Master's sea of ​​consciousness yet. I can only go back after I complete the eleventh task and accumulate enough energy. As for why I can understand what you didn't say but wanted to express... I deduced it from your emotional fluctuations. I didn't infringe on your privacy!"

"……Um."

For some reason, Zhang Qiling seemed to be able to discern the rudiments of Yan Huai's current personality from Qi Yu's words, which made everything seem beyond doubt.
