Chapter 7: Ling Yuyan's Martial Journey Begins!

When Wang Meng Yuan went out of the main hall, she accidentally saw Ling Yuyan who was lined up with the other maids and servants in front of the main hall.

The sleepy Ling Yuyan sensed Wang Meng Yuan's cold stare and glanced back at Wang Meng Yuan until their eyes met with each other for a moment.

Ling Yuyan hastily lowered her head timidly until she could only see her toes while pretending not to notice Wang Meng Yuan's resentful cold stare at all.

'Uwawawawa... She is so scary~!'

'What to do?! Why is she staring at me so scarily like that after going out of the main hall?!'

'I am really sorry, but I was also forced to do it before because that cruel villainess Wang Qingling ordered me! I obviously have no other choice, okay?! I am just Wang Qingling's little maid!'

'If you want to seek revenge, you should confront Wang Qingling directly instead of staring resentfully at me like that as if I have stolen your boyfriend or something!'

Ling Yuyan continued to blabber and complain frantically in her heart while putting on a wronged expression.

Fortunately for Ling Yuyan, Wang Meng Yuan only snorted coldly after that and headed back to her room without saying anything to Ling Yuyan.

Ling Yuyan slowly raised her head again cautiously and sighed in relief after she saw that Wang Meng Yuan had already disappeared from there.

'Looking at that heroine's resentful expression, it seemed the Crown Prince had officially called off their engagement, and they should have already made an appointment to fight three years later.' Ling Yuyan silently concluded in her mind.

While waiting for the party in the main hall to finish, Ling Yuyan began to recall the next earth-shaking event in the book which would really be the real main starting point for everything.

If you thought that the third prince, Jing Weiyuan, followed the Crown Prince here only to become the Crown Prince's bullying material, then you were completely wrong.

How could the most terrifying dragon-class villain like Jing Weiyuan do anything meaningless?!

His every move and action must have some crucial purpose, and everything was always according to his calculations.

Just like now... In the eyes of others, it might look like he followed the Crown Prince in coming here for a walk to relieve his boredom.

But his true purpose was actually to get [Life and Death Seal Condensing Method] from the most famous physician family in the Dajing Dynasty, the Lin Family.

Lin Family also lives in Spring River Town, and they have a quite close relationship with Wang Family.

For Ling Yuyan, the Lin Family actually had a much bigger role than that since they were Lin Ming Tian's family, the protagonist in the book Ling Yuyan read!

Currently, Lin Ming Tian should be still living very happily with his father, mother, and all of his relatives in the Lin Family's manor.

But a few days later, Lin Ming Tian's happy life would completely be turned upside down.

The reason was because Jing Weiyuan would secretly send many powerful assassins to attack the Lin Family's manor at night!

The entire Lin Family would be massacred in one night, and only Lin Ming Tian who would somehow still be able to barely survive!

This earth-shaking event would be the true beginning of the protagonist, Lin Ming Tian, journey to get stronger to find out the true culprit behind this matter and avenge his family. 

It was this incident which sparked an irreconcilable blood feud between the most terrifying dragon-class villain, Jing Weiyuan, and, the protagonist, Lin Ming Tian.

Ling Yuyan did not bother to think about a way to stop this incident since it was already a foregone conclusion.

The imperial physician diagnosed Jing Weiyuan would not be able to live past 30 years old, but in reality, his current lifespan was actually much shorter than that.

Jing Weiyuan had forcefully practiced martial arts diligently all this time until he finally reached the Top Peak-Rank Martial Warrior realm.

He was only one step away from the Martial Commander realm right now, but he seriously overdrafted his body which reduced his short lifespan even more as a consequence.

At this rate, he would not even be able to live past 20 years old, while Jing Weiyuan had already reached 18 years old right now.

In short, Jing Weiyuan can only live for another 2 years!

Therefore, he needed Lin Family's [Life and Death Seal Condensing Method] so badly, since he could cure the overdraft effect on his body and relieve his congenital heart disease a bit by practicing it.

By doing this, at least he could regain some of his lost lifespan while looking for a way to completely cure his congenital heart disease.

Ling Yuyan actually really did not want to get involved in this cruel bloody incident, but the Lin Family's [Life and Death Seal Condensing Method] was too tempting to be missed.

This [Life and Death Seal Condensing Method] was actually a divine-class martial art, but unfortunately, the Lin Family only had the upper part of it which was about [Life Seal Chapter].

The [Life Seal Chapter] from the [Life and Death Seal Condensing Method] has a miraculous healing effect, and Lin Family managed to become the most famous physician family in the Dajing Dynasty by relying on it.

But sadly, [Life Seal Chapter] did not have any offensive abilities at all which was the reason why the Lin Family got exterminated so easily in the end.

Ling Yuyan's eyes gradually turned firm as she gritted her pearl-white teeth and decided in her heart: 'No, I must get this [Life Seal Chapter]!'

Since she had already decided, Ling Yuyan started to make her preparations right at this moment.

"An Yue, can you please find and steal the map of Spring River Town while almost all of the Wang Family members are here?" Ling Yuyan asked softly to the hiding An Yue.

"No problem, Sister Yuyan. I will go now." An Yue immediately replied.

It did not take long for An Yue to find the map of Spring River Town from Wang Family's library and bring it back to Ling Yuyan.

But Ling Yuyan let An Yue hold the map for now.

When the sky almost turned dark, the maids and servants went to the kitchen under the order of the butler, then brought the delicious foods to the main hall again.

After those people in the main hall had finished their dinner, the gathering was finally over, and they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Wang Qingling was in a very good mood today, so she did not throw any tantrum to Ling Yuyan and other maids like usual.

Ling Yuyan could easily guess that the reason for that was probably because Wang Qingling was still gloating over Wang Meng Yuan's misfortune right now.

Wang Qingling fell asleep pretty quickly after that, so Ling Yuyan and the other maids could also finally go to the canteen to eat their dinner and return to their room much earlier to sleep today.

But Ling Yuyan did not follow them to return to the maid's bedroom after eating her dinner.

She told An Yue to help her sneak into the unoccupied guest room, then she ordered An Yue and her shadow guards to guard outside the room.

Ling Yuyan slowly sat in a lotus position on the bed and took out [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] from her Spatial Stone.

She bit her finger and dripped her blood onto the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] to bind it.

WEEEENNGG~!

The small ancient stone disc on the top of Ling Yuyan's palm emitted a faint golden light and let out a buzzing sound.

"Ling Yuyan's martial road begins today~!" Ling Yuyan muttered with an impatient yet excited smile on her face.

But the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] on Ling Yuyan's palm turned into a streak of golden light and flew into the space between her eyebrows.

The [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] had completely disappeared, but Ling Yuyan could sense that the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] was actually inside her sea of consciousness right now, and she could bring it out in one thought.

Ling Yuyan closed her eyes and tried to communicate with the [Dream Space] inside the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities].

Right at this moment, Ling Yuyan unconsciously let her consciousness wander into the [Dream Space] and leave her spirit mark there.

The spirit mark slowly deformed and transformed into Ling Yuyan's avatar in the [Dream Space].

Ling Yuyan realized that she could actually control her own avatar's every action.

Ling Yuyan also found out from her own avatar's sight that the [Dream Space] was actually only a vast expanse of white space.

Ling Yuyan frowned a bit in dissatisfaction, and she tried to change the environment of [Dream Space] with her thoughts.

Surprisingly, Ling Yuyan could easily change the environment according to anything she wanted.

She began experimenting by changing her surrounding environment from a green forest, a luxurious villa, a small island in the middle of the sea, and finally on the top of a tall mountain.

"Wow~! So cold~! ACHOOOO~!" Ling Yuyan's body in reality began to shiver in cold.

Ling Yuyan hastily changed the surrounding environment of her avatar to a tropical beach.

"Sigh... Comfortable. Fortunately, I have not tried to change the environment to a sea of lava or the South Pole." Ling Yuyan sighed in relief.

Ling Yuyan suddenly got a brilliant idea as she changed her avatar's surrounding environment into a fruit garden and tried to taste the juicy fruits there.

She thought she could eat for free to her heart's content here, but she was completely wrong this time.

Those juicy fruits were surely delicious, but she could not feel full no matter how many she ate them.

In the end, this was only [Dream Space] and everything here was only a dream.

Ling Yuyan stopped playing around as she took out several books and jade slips from her Spatial Stones, then read them carefully.

After two hours or so, Ling Yuyan closed the books in her grasp and nodded her head.

Ling Yuyan covered her face with her palms while murmuring in a sorrowful and regretful tone: "I don't understand any of them even one bit..."

Ling Yuyan jumped down from the bed and facepalmed while saying: "Wait a minute... Why don't I just let An Yue read all these things first and then have her teach me later?! Damn, I am really so stupid~! Why the heck didn't I think that from the start!"

"An Yue, come here~!" Ling Yuyan called An Yue into the room while taking out the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] in one thought.

First, Ling Yuyan planned to let An Yue try creating an avatar in the Dream Space just like her.

She did not expect An Yue to successfully do it so easily in one try.

But unlike Ling Yuyan, An Yue could not change the environment in Dream Space according to her will.

If An Yue was more than ten meters away from Ling Yuyan and the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities], her connection with her avatar in Dream Space would be lost.

Other than those two, An Yue could do whatever she wanted in Dream Space like Ling Yuyan.

Ling Yuyan threw all those books and jade slips to An Yue, then let her read and study them first before letting An Yue's avatar teach her own avatar in Dream Space. 

For An Yue, the knowledge and martial arts written in those books and jade slips were too basic.

It was like a well-achieved college student reading elementary school children's books.

It only took less than five minutes for An Yue to skim through all the books and jade skips. She completely understood all of them and began to let her avatar teach An Yue's avatar in Dream Space.
