Global Awakening SSS-Rank: Hearing the Beauty’s Heart

Chapter 9: The Mysterious Palace Under the Eternal Night Sky! Whispers That Can Drive People Mad!

Ye Qingxue seriously doubted if she had heard it wrong.

Lin Tianming, whom she regarded as a heartless man, actually said he wanted to give her the Soul Gene Elixir.

She stared into Lin Tianming's eyes and asked, "Brother Tianming... Are you sure you want to give it to me? You just said that it can not only repair the soul but also enhance its strength. Don't you want to use it to enhance your soul's strength?"

Without thinking, Lin Tianming decisively said, "Qingxue, compared to you, this Soul Gene Elixir is nothing! If you can repair your soul, maybe your F-grade talent can improve. You should use it!"

Looking at the Soul Gene Elixir Lin Tianming handed her, Ye Qingxue's expression showed some emotion.

[Brother Tianming...]

Finally, she stopped calling him a heartless man in her heart?

Hearing Ye Qingxue call him Brother Tianming in her heart, Lin Tianming knew that his decision had moved this emotionally wounded girl.

Ye Qingxue remained silent for a long time before saying, "Thank you, Brother Tianming, I'll try it..."

After speaking, Ye Qingxue took the Soul Gene Elixir from Lin Tianming's hand, skillfully opened the cap, and drank it all in one go.

As soon as the Soul Gene Elixir entered her stomach, it began to take effect, starting to repair Ye Qingxue's damaged soul.

However, due to the strong effect, Ye Qingxue instantly fell to the ground and began to roll around in pain.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming immediately showed a worried expression.

It wasn't until he heard Ye Qingxue's thoughts that this was normal that Lin Tianming stopped worrying about her dying from the wrong medicine here.

[As expected, just like before my rebirth, the effect is really strong... But as long as it can repair my soul... a little suffering is nothing!]

Even though he knew Ye Qingxue wouldn't be in danger, seeing her rolling on the ground in pain, Lin Tianming couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tianming sat down and gently held Ye Qingxue, who was in pain, in his arms.

Under his gentle comfort, Ye Qingxue's pain eased significantly.

[Brother Tianming gave me the Gene Elixir... and now he's helping me relieve the pain of its effects... Is this really the same heartless man who hurt me?]

Being cared for so tenderly by Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue, who already had complicated feelings towards him, couldn't help but be moved.

With Lin Tianming accompanying her and helping her relieve the pain, Ye Qingxue felt the time spent under the elixir's torment passed much faster than in her previous life.

When she finally absorbed all the effects of the Soul Gene Elixir, Ye Qingxue's soul was thoroughly repaired as she ended her painful ordeal.

[My soul is finally repaired! My F-grade ability has finally been restored to SSS-grade!]

The joy of having her soul repaired was written all over her face, and Ye Qingxue couldn't wait to test her ice attribute ability after regaining her SSS-grade talent.

Glacial Spike!

Even though Ye Qingxue had just awakened her ability today, her initial SSS-grade ice attribute skill still possessed power far beyond that of other awakeners of the same level.

However, just as she was about to summon a bunch of glacial spikes from Lin Tianming's embrace, she regretted it upon remembering his presence.

[Oh no! I forgot that Lin Tianming is here too. I got a bit carried away after repairing my soul and regaining my SSS-grade ice attribute ability...]

Lin Tianming said at the right time, "Not bad! Qingxue, as soon as you repaired your soul, you mastered such a powerful ice attribute skill. You shouldn't be an F-grade talent anymore, right?"

Being asked this by Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue, who had acted rashly, could only nod and say, "Thank you, Brother Tianming, for giving me the Soul Gene Elixir. Qingxue is indeed no longer an F-grade talent."

"Then what's your talent level now?"

Lin Tianming asked this to test if Ye Qingxue's attitude towards him had changed after this incident.

"It's... A-grade talent... Brother Tianming, it's still not comparable to your SSS-grade talent."

[Although this guy gave me the Gene Elixir, which did move me... But... it's better not to tell him that my repaired soul is also SSS-grade!]

Listening to Ye Qingxue's surface answer and her inner thoughts, Lin Tianming felt somewhat regretful that Ye Qingxue still had reservations about him.

However, considering the progress made in just one day, Lin Tianming still felt the results were quite good.

He calmly said, "An A-grade ice attribute talent is still very impressive. Qingxue, work hard, and aim for a good score in the All Kyushu Awakener Exam in a few days to get into a good advanced awakening academy!"

"Yes, I will work hard to get good scores in both theoretical knowledge and practical tests and strive to get into the Imperial Capital's Grand Imperial Academy. Then I can continue to be with Brother Tianming, who got in as a special recruit!"

[What am I thinking? Why am I suddenly having good feelings towards this heartless man?]

[Ye Qingxue, have you forgotten? This guy is best at sweet-talking. In the previous life, you were badly hurt by his honeyed words!]

[But... Brother Tianming seems different in this life... If he were still selfish, he would have surely kept the Soul Gene Elixir for himself just now!]

Ye Qingxue was extremely conflicted at the moment, while Lin Tianming got up and walked towards the final star key.

[That direction... it's the Star Key!]

[Now that my soul is repaired and we both have SSS-grade talents, I can't let the last treasure in this hall fall into Lin Tianming's hands, or it would be too disadvantageous for me! Maybe I should...]

Just as Ye Qingxue hesitated about attacking Lin Tianming, he called out to her.

"There seems to be something glowing on the gears of this giant clock. Qingxue, come and take a look!"

"Oh... coming, Brother Tianming!"

Being called by Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue felt somewhat guilty and quickly followed him.

"A key? This key is so exquisite... It's like a star key... Let me sense it carefully!"

Pretending not to have learned from Ye Qingxue's thoughts that it was the Star Key, Lin Tianming quickly picked it up and studied it.

"I sensed it! This thing is called the Star Key, containing the power of the stars. It's another great treasure! Qingxue, you are indeed my lucky star. Today, stumbling upon this place with you, we found so many treasures!"

It would have been better if Lin Tianming didn't speak. His words made Ye Qingxue angry.

These things should have belonged to her originally.

If it weren't for her using the memory of her previous life to bring Lin Tianming here, he would have gotten nothing.

Thinking that all the treasures in the hall, except for the Gene Elixir, fell into Lin Tianming's hands, Ye Qingxue felt depressed.

She thought about snatching them but decided against it.

[Today, I fell into this heartless man's hands! Huh? This light... Lin Tianming actually triggered an anomaly in the Star Key that I didn't trigger before!]

Full of resentment, Ye Qingxue was shocked to find the Star Key in Lin Tianming's hand emitting a dazzling light.

This was an anomaly that she had never seen when she obtained the Star Key in her previous life.

The dazzling light gathered into starlight, and the Star Key in Lin Tianming's hand floated into the air, forming a mirror of the starry sky as brilliant as a galaxy.

The starry sky mirror rippled like lake water, gradually revealing a dreamy palace in the eternal night sky.

Ye Qingxue couldn't help but exclaim, "So... so beautiful... The palace in the starry sky is so beautiful!"

"Indeed, it's very beautiful."

Lin Tianming nodded, also captivated by the scene reflected in the starry sky mirror by the Star Key.

The perspective of the beautiful palace in the eternal night sky kept zooming in and deepening, allowing Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue to see more scenes inside the palace.

Soon, the starry sky mirror's image reached the deepest part of the palace.

In the deepest part of the palace, a beautiful angel surrounded by the light of stars lay asleep.

Seeing this beautiful angel, Ye Qingxue took a deep breath, "How can there be such a beautiful and holy person in this world? She looks like an angel from mythology..."

Lin Tianming also carefully observed this mysterious being who looked like an angel.

She wore a white military cap, had a flawless angelic face, and her pure white angel wings wrapped around her body as she slept peacefully on the throne.

A giant star key floated behind the beautiful angel, emitting endless star power.

Ye Qingxue quickly noticed something, "The key behind her looks a lot like the Star Key you got, Brother Tianming. The only difference is that her key is bigger than her, while yours is of normal size."

Reminded by Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming also noticed this.

As he pondered the connection between the Star Key he had obtained and the image of the angel in the Starry Mirror, the angel sleeping on the throne suddenly opened her slender, beautiful eyes and gazed at him and Ye Qingxue.

Her red lips parted, and the beautiful angel spoke a sentence: "I see you!"

Lin Tianming didn't care much about what the beautiful angel was saying.

But for Ye Qingxue, along with the words spoken by the beautiful angel in a distant, mysterious space, tears of blood flowed from her eyes.

[What is she saying? Why can't I understand at all?]

[Damn... This whisper seems to contain some kind of eerie power that could drive me insane... I... I... It's so painful!]

Although the beautiful angel spoke only a very short sentence, to Ye Qingxue, it sounded like a demonic sound, constantly echoing in her mind.

Soon, under the continuous echoing whisper, Ye Qingxue felt an inexplicable fear and her mind gradually collapsed.

If this continued, Ye Qingxue would undoubtedly lose her mind and fall into madness, eventually dying.

Through Ye Qingxue's thoughts, Lin Tianming also understood the crisis she was facing.

But Lin Tianming also had his confusion.

Why could he hear the mysterious angel's whisper clearly, while Ye Qingxue couldn't?

Ye Qingxue had ascended to the position of Ice God before her rebirth, so how could she be driven nearly insane by a sentence that he felt nothing about?

With many questions in his mind that couldn't be answered for the moment, in order to prevent Ye Qingxue from being tormented to death by the mysterious angel's whisper, Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed, and he immediately punched and shattered the Starry Mirror materialized by the Star Key.

The mysterious angel who had awakened from her slumber also stared at Lin Tianming intently. Before the shattered Starry Mirror disappeared, she left Lin Tianming with a final sentence.

"I will come find you sooner or later! Send you back to your world!"

As the voice of the mysterious angel fell, the Starry Mirror shattered completely and dissipated.

The eerie whisper that lingered in Ye Qingxue's mind, enough to drive her to lose her sanity, also dissipated.

But because she had just resisted the invasion of the whisper on her mind, she immediately fainted and fell into a coma.
