Chapter 2061: Chapter 2062: Ye Qiu’s Advantage

After the Heavenly Heart Seal was imprinted on the soul, there was no discomfort.

Previously, Ye Qiu was busy restoring his strength and hadn’t had the chance to study it carefully. Disguised now as a soldier of the Giant Elephant Dynasty, he found the time.

Ye Qiu attempted to stimulate the Heavenly Heart Seal, but discovered no reaction from it.

Who knows if this thing is beneficial or not? If it’s beneficial, that’s fine—if it’s harmful, it would be better to remove it early on.

"No reaction at all?" Ye Qiu was slightly surprised, and he redirected his power to stimulate the Heavenly Heart Seal using his Soul Power.

Swoosh.

The center of Ye Qiu’s Soul Body suddenly shone brightly.

This light even pierced through his physical body and manifested in the air. This wouldn’t do; there were sleeping soldiers all around. If someone noticed such a strange phenomenon on him, they’d surely surround him.

Ye Qiu immediately withdrew his Soul Power, and the light emitted by the Heavenly Heart Seal also vanished, dimming.

Glancing around, Ye Qiu felt slightly relieved. Luckily, it was just a momentary flash, and the light wasn’t glaring. Only a few soldiers turned over in their sleep, not waking up.

The light from the Heavenly Heart Seal just now showed that it wasn’t simple, and when it originally imprinted on his soul, the four words "Heavenly Heart Seal" automatically echoed in his mind, indicating its extraordinary nature.

Continuing to research the Heavenly Heart Seal here was certainly inappropriate. Pretending to go to the restroom, Ye Qiu quietly slipped away from the camp.

After leaving the camp, Ye Qiu arrived at the back of a mountain. With the mountain shielding him, even if the light appeared suddenly, it wouldn’t attract attention from those in the camp.

Ye Qiu continued studying the Heavenly Heart Seal. This time, just like before, the Heavenly Heart Seal emitted light, appearing in the air.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t sense any terrifying destructive power from the Heavenly Heart Seal. It seemed useful only for illumination, offering no substantial help at all.

If it serves no purpose, what’s its meaning?

Ye Qiu was puzzled. He thought that the Heavenly Heart Seal appeared because he killed all those ghostly entities, affirming its value for him.

He was determined to understand what this thing was truly for; it couldn’t be so useless.

With Ye Qiu’s repeated experiments and observations, his expression gradually changed as he noticed the magic of the Heavenly Heart Seal.

He suddenly realized that even if he exposed his power and aura, that previous feeling of being watched disappeared.

And as long as he didn’t touch the Heavenly Heart Seal, that feeling of being watched would immediately reappear.

This meant that with the Heavenly Heart Seal, he could obstruct the Heavenly Dao’s observation and supervision of him.

What does this imply?

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Ye Qiu’s eyes. This way, it meant that even if he killed the natives, he wouldn’t be struck down by this planet’s Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Heart Seal acted like a barrier, allowing him to avoid the Heavenly Dao’s scrutiny, treating him as a native of this planet.

Ye Qiu wasn’t sure if others shared the same benefit. If he was the only one with the Heavenly Heart Seal, his advantage would be extraordinary.

"Truly heaven’s gift. Even the saints won’t take me as an outsider now," Ye Qiu felt delighted, realizing this made it easier for him to act.

Although he wasn’t a violent person and wouldn’t casually slaughter the planet’s natives, constantly suppressing his power to avoid the Heavenly Dao’s attention felt constraining.

With the Heavenly Heart Seal, things were different.

It could shield against the Heavenly Dao’s observation. Just this point was enough to draw attention—the Heavenly Heart Seal was indeed remarkable.

Understanding the Heavenly Heart Seal gave Ye Qiu peace of mind, but he wasn’t planning to leave the newly joined troop. Pretending to be a minor soldier there wasn’t a bad idea.

Ye Qiu planned to return to the camp, but as he walked a few hundred meters, he heard the sound of flowing water.

Just the sound alone didn’t catch Ye Qiu’s attention, but when his eyes inadvertently swept over, he suddenly halted.

Someone was bathing? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Could it be a soldier? After a day of marching, finding a place to wash up seemed normal. As Ye Qiu walked over, he quickly realized it wasn’t a soldier—it was a woman in the river, her back turned to him.

Uh...

Ye Qiu blushed. How did he end up in this situation again? He had no intention of peeping at women bathing, yet he repeatedly stumbled upon such scenes. It was indeed embarrassing.

Previously, it was Bai Lingtian’s daughter, Bai Muxue. This time, it was an unknown woman.

In the wilderness, to suddenly encounter a woman bathing, especially here with only him as the man—imagine the scene—would surely raise one’s pulse.

However, Ye Qiu had no such rogue thoughts. Just as he was about to leave, he stepped on a stone, shattering it, and the sound was piercing in the silent night.

Ye Qiu turned his head with difficulty and immediately saw the face of the woman in the river.

Quickly, leave!

Ye Qiu originally planned to leave, not expecting to cause such a racket. Now, he’d surely be taken as a lecher.

If he didn’t leave, would he wait to be caught by her?

He didn’t want to be thought of as a pervert. Anyway, he wasn’t too close; she likely couldn’t see his face clearly.

The best strategy was to flee, so Ye Qiu vanished without a trace in an instant.

Moments later, a woman appeared where Ye Qiu had been and angrily said, "He ran so fast..."

The woman’s face was resentful. Being peeped at wasn’t pleasant, especially when she was naked in the water—couldn’t it be that he saw everything clearly?

"If I catch him, I’d definitely gouge out his eyes," the woman snorted.

Returning to the camp, Ye Qiu pretended as if he had just returned from the restroom, then returned to the veteran’s side and lay down.

The sky was full of stars, and Ye Qiu chewed on a piece of grass, the face of that woman he just saw appearing in his mind.

He truly hadn’t expected the woman he encountered to be this army’s General.

It wasn’t long before Ye Qiu felt the female General return. Although she was silent, it couldn’t be hidden from Ye Qiu.

A distant tent moved slightly. Seeing her return to the tent, Ye Qiu was more certain she hadn’t seen him clearly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have just returned to her tent; she’d have come straight to him.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Qiu felt a bit speechless. The situation was too coincidental.

He just wanted to research the Heavenly Heart Seal, but ended up running into the female General bathing in the river. Speaking of which, shouldn’t a General have attendants with her?

Ye Qiu chuckled, dismissing the thought, and prepared to rest.

Clang, clang, clang...

However, just five minutes after closing his eyes, the sound of striking metal suddenly echoed through the camp, and all the sleeping soldiers awoke suddenly, rising and forming ranks.

Ye Qiu joined the ranks.

In the middle of the night, being suddenly awakened like this—was it for midnight training?

However, the veteran’s response made Ye Qiu realize it wasn’t that simple.

Something significant had happened!
