Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1044 - 623: The Stonebound Person

Sui Yi pondered for a while; using just her fist certainly couldn’t open it. It seemed the people of Baonong Hall had no way either, which was why they sealed and hid the stone. It was also called a treasure from beyond the heavens because it contained special power.

Logically, this Statue of the Gods Fragment was highly lethal to her; opening it held no benefit for her, yet she was curious.

Moreover, with her relatively comprehensive thinking habits, she worried that it might also contain the Cangwu Fragments, or something else.

It must be opened.

Just when Sui Yi was a bit troubled over how to open it, suddenly.

"Huh?"

A hissing sound made Sui Yi frown, and she turned to look.

The fire rock, still placed in the iron box nearby, emitted a hissing sound.

It melted.

The spot that melted was precisely where her finger had just touched and dropped a bit of blood.

It absorbed the blood and then melted the rock.

So, does it crave both destruction and devouring from her?

This Statue of the Gods.

Sui Yi slightly lowered her eyes; after a moment of silence, she made a cut on the palm of her left hand and pressed it on the surface of the rock, feeling a sting, though it was still bearable.

Her blood flowed like a spring on this strange fire rock.

Large-scale absorption and melting.

The surface of the rock melted away, revealing something soft.

Soft?

Sui Yi looked down at where her hand was pressed, seeing something white... and there was...

It seemed to be... a chest?

A person?

Sui Yi felt a slight jolt in her heart.

Afraid it’s one of those two people.

Sui Yi looked away, took off her outer robe, and covered the upper body of the other person first.

Her hand moved upward.

Soon, the neck, then the head...

This face... uh...

Sui Yi withdrew her hand again.

After a while, all the fire rock had dissolved.

Naked and covered with the wide green robe, Sui Yi sat nearby and let out a small sigh of relief.

Although there were slight changes in appearance, this woman was undoubtedly Hell’s Wan Ge.

Uncertain why there were changes in appearance, maybe like her, it was due to some advancement in vitality, or perhaps this was her true appearance all along.

Moreover, both the fire rock and Sui Yi’s blood were gone, and even the Statue of the Gods Fragment had disappeared.

There was only Hell’s Wan Ge by herself.

Sui Yi wanted to probe with Magnetic Sensation but found nothing.

"Perhaps she inherently contained the Curse of the God, and this Statue of the Gods, following the attraction, was forced to enter her body under Cangwu’s full suppression, merging with her, plus the heat originally contained within the fire rock must have been absorbed by her to sustain her physical vitality. That’s why the stone body is so cold... However... this person is indeed somewhat unique, she doesn’t seem like an ordinary person, but fortunately, she’s not dead yet."

Although Hell’s Wan Ge’s breaths were not long-drawn, her skin and muscles were elastic and smooth like jade, with warmth, still the body of a living person.

Even though she hadn’t found Cangwu, Sui Yi wasn’t in a bad mood, but looking around, "This place is chilly, not suitable for nurturing bodies; it’s better to leave first."

Sui Yi turned the body over, intending to dress her in the outer robe, but her action suddenly stopped.

There was also a Divine Rune on Hell’s Wan Ge’s back.

Identical to Natasha’s.

Only now her Divine Rune had noticeably changed color, turning into a dark golden hue.

On the snow-white spine, it seemed to be carved into the marrow.

Sui Yi took one glance, then helped her into the loose robe, tied the belt, and carried her on her back.

Then, walked into the stalactite cave.

The cave wasn’t dark since some fluorescent crystals were embedded within the stone walls here.

Sui Yi carried her through the fluorescent-speckled and rugged stalactite cave.

She cleared the way with Magnetic Sensation and chose her path by the earth’s veins and water flow. Alone in peace, in this place, only her own breath accompanied her...

But this lone breath gradually grew chaotic.

Because there was someone else breathing.

The moment Hell’s Wan Ge had a glimmer of consciousness, she quickly assessed her situation.

Weakened, cold, being carried.

The person carrying her wasn’t tall, very thin, not much flesh, and didn’t emit high temperature, not warm at all.

But the actions carrying her were very gentle.

From this, it seemed the person wasn’t a lethal enemy.

Then... let them carry me for a while.

She rested herself for a bit; when her strength slightly recovered, she opened her eyes with some difficulty, joined her fingertips. Her nails weren’t sharp, but as one of the world’s top assassins, she could easily rip through a rhino’s skin and even bones with her fingers.

Now, her hand landed silently beside Sui Yi’s neck, her eyes opened, seeing the side of the person’s face.
