--- Chapter 69 ---

Yunlong walked out of the leader's room, which had become wholly destroyed after their fight.

"What a pain..." Yunlong muttered while looking at his right arm, which he already healed using white light grace, but the pains keep throbbing, and it surprisingly makes him quite uncomfortable.

Yunlong shook his head and took a few pain-reliever pills from his inventory that he prepared beforehand.

[I suggested you take a rest after this quest is over, host]

Neo's monotonous voice appeared in Yunlong's head, which made him chuckle because he knows his condition better than anyone, but he is also very thankful for his system concern.

'Thanks, Neo.' Yunlong thought while taking the pain-reliever pills, which makes him feel a lot better.

He walked around the area and saw the vice leader behind a black wall with fourteen females, which are from teenage girls to women.

"I've killed him. From now on, you will take care of the auction house," Yunlong said while patting the vice leader on his shoulder, who calmly stared at him and nodded his head.

'With this, my sister would have a few backups in the heaven dou empire.' He commented while thinking about a few things.

Yunlong shifted his gaze at the female slaves, who were shivering and hugging each other in fear.

"Don't worry. All of you are safe now." Yunlong calmly stated, which made them stare at him with an anxious expression.

"T-Thank you..." The eldest slave nervously responded with a stutter, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Here, it would help you all," Yunlong said while giving her a bunch of white pills, which is the same pill he gave to the hostages he saved one day ago.

"Took them out of this place first. I'll follow you later." He instructed the vice leader, who is giving him a silent nod.

The vice leader took the slaves out of the underground while Yunlong quietly observed them with a calm gaze.

"Well, I'll take a few things in the vault..." Yunlong suddenly said while shifting his gaze at the vault's door, which looked very thick and tough.

There are two people, the auction house's leader and vice leader, who can open this vault. Still, because of Gu Xin's memory, Yunlong could easily do it by only using spirit energy injection to a specific area of the vault's door.

"Hmm, it should be like this..." Yunlong muttered while brushing his fingers across the vault's door and injected his spirit energy a few times.

Tic!

A clicking sound entered Yunlong's ears, which put a smile on his face.

"Let's see, what kind of items can I get," Yunlong said while opening the vault, revealing something that makes his eyes brightened.

"Oh, I hit the jackpot."

--- A few minutes later ---

After taking a few items from the vault, we can see Yunlong walked out of the underground vault with a smile on his face.

As Yunlong stepped out of the last stairs, he could see the vice leader managing the slaves, who wore a blanket to cover their bodies.

'Hmm, I never call him by the name. Maybe I should call him by his name from now on since he's going to be the puppet leader of this business.' Yunlong suddenly thought while looking at the vice leader.

"Xiao Xun," Yunlong said, which made the vice leader suddenly stop moving.

"Yes, young master?" The vice leader replied with a neutral expression.

"I took a few things in the vault and left some of my pills for auction. I want you to organize it for me," Yunlong calmly stated, to which Xiao Xin responded with a quiet nod.

"Leave it to me." Xiao Xin quietly responded like a good aide, making Yunlong nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Well, it's almost lunchtime... I will take my leave and them out." Yunlong said while staring at the slaves, who are peacefully staring at him.

After giving his puppet a few instructions, Yunlong took the slaves away and assigned them to the driver, who had been waiting for him in a small alley with a carriage.

"You all can go with him. He would bring you all to a safe place." Yunlong said with a gentle smile on his face, to which the slaves timidly responded with awkward gazes and nods.

The slaves were staring at each other for a few seconds and then nodding their heads in unison, making Yunlong amused because he can tell that they want to say their thanks for him.

"Thank you for saving us, young master." The slaves bowed their bodies in gratitude.

"You're welcome," Yunlong answered while walking away from the alley.

[You have finished the chain quest]

[Rewarding 7k System Points and A random earth flame]

[Random Earth Flame... You have obtained [White Candle Stainless Flame]

--- One Week Later ---

In the sunset forest, we can see Yunlong diving through the ice and fire well, which makes his body freezing and burning simultaneously, but after tempering his body for one week, he is already used to it.

[Golden Saint Dragon]

[Darkness Flame Dragon]

Yunlong activated his dragon martial souls synchronically, which made his arms transform into dragon arms. His left hands were gleaming with golden scale, while his right hand was brimming with pitch-black dragon scale.

[You have found the [Water Dragon King's Remnant Soul] and [Fire Dragon King's Remnant Soul]]

[Detecting similarities]

[Do you want to fuse them with your martial souls?]

[Price: 1.500.000 Sp]

'I won't get any harmful effect after fusing them, right?' Yunlong asked his system.

[You will not get any harmful effect, host]

[It's the opposite, You probably would get a few new traits after fusing them]

'I see, Fuse...!' Yunlong agreed with a firm yet pained expression because he would spend almost all of his system points on this.

[Spending 1.500.000 Sp]

[Fusion...]

[Advancing... Evolution!]

'Huh, What happened?' Yunlong thought while suddenly feeling a severe headache and discomfort across his body, which made him winced in pain.

Yunlong experienced his body being shredded into pieces and fixed back several times, making him very awful for a few minutes until he can adapt to it.

"My martial souls are evolving." Yunlong gritted his teeth while looking at his arms, which were shining with white and red lights.

A few hours later, Yunlong remained at the bottom of the ice and fire well with closed eyes.

Even though Yunlong seems to be sleeping, he is actually in his spiritual sea, where he stood in front of a dignified western red dragon and a majestic eastern blue dragon.

"Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King, To think their appearances would look like this," Yunlong commented while looking at the two dragons in front of him.

ROOAARR!!!

The dragon kings stared at him for a few seconds and roared to the skies, making Yunlong's spiritual sea tremble in great shock.

[Evolution Success]

Yunlong opened his eyes, which had turned into a pair of dragon eyes; his left eye is crimson gold, while his right eye is black with a white-slitted pupil.

"It feels different..." Yunlong muttered while gripping his dragon hands and feels an immense power inside of his body.

"My dragon arms also changed." He added while looking at vibrant crimson-gold dragon scales on his left hand and pale dusky-black dragon scales on his right hands.

Yunlong checked his body condition for a moment and smiled because not only his martial soul evolved, but he also feels his vajra body breakthrough to the sixth level.

"Hmm?" He suddenly deactivated his martial soul and sensed a bump on his feet, making him wonder because he could feel a connection with himself.

Yunlong dug the ground and found a shiny red-looking crystal, which made his left hands trembling in excitement.

"I see, the fire dragon king's bones," Yunlong muttered while trying to pull the bone with all his might, but to his surprise. A few red lights suddenly fly toward his spatial ring.

"Okay... The water dragon king's bones should be around here too." He said in confusion because the bones, which are the red lights, directly entered his spatial ring.

Yunlong searched for the water dragon king's bones, and a few white lights suddenly arrived on his side, which directly entered his spatial ring.

"That's convenient," Yunlong commented with a weak smile on his face.

"Well, let's go back to the surface. My sister should be worried because I'm not out for a few hours." He added while swimming out and realized that he didn't feel the freezing and burning force of the ice and fire well.

"Why didn't Yunlong come out! It's almost five hours since he entered that pond." Qian Renxue whispered with a worried expression while staring at the two-colored pond.

As she was about to enter the pond, Yunlong suddenly emerged with a pale expression, which triggered her to take him out of the pond.

"Yunlong!" Qian Renxue shouted while hugging her brother's body.

She quickly checked Yunlong's condition, which made her eyes widened in shock because he's not breathing.

'No, Yunlong.' Qian Renxue cried while staring at Yunlong, who struggled not to make any reaction.

'She's crying.' Yunlong thought while feeling bad, but Qian Renxue suddenly kissed him on the lips, which caught him off guard.

"S-Sister..." Yunlong opened his eyes while pushing his lips a little.

"Yunlong!" Qian Renxue cried in joy when she saw that he's still alive.

"I thought you're dead." She whispered while tightly hugging him, which put a weak smile on Yunlong's face.

'Yeah, it's too much.' Yunlong thought while hugging her back and thinking how to compensate her later for his unfunny prank.

"It's okay. I'm not dead." Yunlong replied while giving him a reassuring smile, to which Qian Renxue responded with a soft nod.

"Mm, I'm worried to lose you..." Qian Renxue said while burying her head on his chest.

They were hugging each other for fifteen minutes until Qian Renxue calmed down, which made Yunlong release a sigh of relief.

Yunlong stared at his sister and smiled at her, "By the way, big sister... You are good at kissing. It tastes sweet."

"Y-You! D-Don't tell me!" Qian Renxue abruptly raised her head and noticed a smile on Yunlong's face.

"YUNLONG!"
