Chapter 79: 32. Silent Bone



Lin Yue sighed wordlessly and collected his thoughts. The Demon Path was clearly the enemy of the Xiahong clan, yet the God Emperor actually let someone from the Demon Path reincarnate as his son? Otherworld version of White Beard, huh. "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Yu Shiqi tilted her head in confusion, looking at Lin Yue. "Is there something written in the Imperial Decree?" Lin Yue pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know what relationship you have with the Sixteenth Prince?" "The Sixteenth Prince? What relationship?" Yu Shiqi looked at him blankly. It seemed that Yu Shiqi's masters hadn't told her? Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Instead, he asked, "The Cultivation Skills you practice are from the Xiahong clan's Ancient God's Way, right?" "Yes." Yu Shiqi nodded. "I take the Physical Body route." "It shows." Lin Yue changed the subject at random. "I heard your masters are doing a task for the Sixteenth Prince, so I thought he taught you." "Oh..." Yu Shiqi was not suspicious. Lin Yue's statement was not a lie; naturally, she had no reason to doubt it. He indeed had thought that, as the granddaughter and reincarnate of the Sixteenth Prince, Yu Shiqi might have been taught the Ancient God's Way by him. "Your Highness, there's nothing left on this corpse." Yu Shiqi squatted next to the corpse of the Cave Mansion's owner and said, "Whose corpse is this? It feels like it's from someone of the Demon Path." This is your grandfather's corpse from a previous life. Technically, he's also my brother... Lin Yue muttered to himself, then said, "Indeed, it's someone from the Demon Path. Can you tell its history?" "I can't." Yu Shiqi shook her head. "People from the Demon Path act mysteriously and, being hunted all over by the Xiahong clan, rarely show themselves. I haven't had much chance to understand the Demon Path." She suddenly looked at the white bone bracelet in Lin Yue's hand and said, "Your Highness, this bracelet should be a treasure from the Demon Path. Perhaps if you refine it, you might be able to find out?" "I'll try." Lin Yue promptly cut open his already healed fingertip again, squeezing out a drop of Blood Pearl onto the white bone bracelet. However, after the Blood Pearl fell onto the bracelet, it just rolled on the surface for a bit before slipping off to the side, without being absorbed. "Hmm?" Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows. "Blood Recognition isn't working?" Yu Shiqi also saw and, furrowing her delicate brows in thought, said, "Your Highness, treasures from the Demon Path are mostly quite special, and their methods of recognition can be different too. The recognition of this treasure might require other conditions." "Other conditions?" Lin Yue looked at her. Yu Shiqi squatted on the ground with her fingertip pressed against her lips, thinking out loud, "Like the Cultivation Technique must be of the same origin, or a blood relative, or an inheritor, or perhaps it requires other treasures—anything is possible." Blood relatives? Lin Yue thought for a moment, tossed the bracelet to Yu Shiqi, and said, "Try your blood." "Ah?" Yu Shiqi was taken aback. "Me? But it's Your Highness's treasure. It doesn't seem right for me to take it..." "Just give it a try." Lin Yue casually said, "I can't perform Blood Recognition, so it's useless for me to keep it. If you succeed and find it useful, you can return it to me later." Yu Shiqi uttered an 'oh' and also tried Blood Recognition. Yet her blood also slid off the white bone bracelet, with no indication of blending with it. Her situation was exactly the same as Lin Yue's. "Your Highness, it's not working for me either." Yu Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, worried she might have usurped the opportunity meant for His Highness. Happy about not succeeding?... Lin Yue glanced at her but wasn't surprised. He had only thought to try because Yu Shiqi was the granddaughter and reincarnate of the man who took the Demon Path, so it was merely an attempt. But, as a granddaughter after the reincarnation, it was natural for her to fail. Lin Yue thought for a while, then said, "I've thought of a way. Let's turn you back first." He took out the Dagger and cut his healing fingertip again, smearing a drop of fresh blood on Yu Shiqi's forehead, removing the Silent Bone. Yu Shiqi felt a surge of intense heat rolling in. When the heat subsided, she found herself back to her original appearance. She looked down at her legs, somewhat missing the length from before. Lin Yue peeled the Silent Bone from her face and stuck it on his own, then thought. Before long, with the receding heat, his stature and appearance drastically changed. Bronze skin, a tall, robust figure over two meters tall, and a new perspective with a third eye in the center of his forehead. It was undeniably the look of the Cave Mansion's owner. "Who did Your Highness turn into?" Yu Shiqi scrutinized Lin Yue with confusion, muttering, "He doesn't look very nice. Your original appearance was better looking." Talking down about your grandfather right in front of his remains, is it really okay to compliment your granduncle like that? Lin Yue found himself at a loss for words and gently patted Yu Shiqi's head on behalf of the Sixteenth Prince, his elder brother, saying, "Look at my forehead." Yu Shiqi touched her head with a wronged expression, then looked at Lin Yue's forehead, exclaiming, "The person His Highness turned into, why does he have an extra eye in his forehead?" She suddenly scratched her head. "Seems like I've heard of this somewhere..." "You've heard of it?" Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows and, while at it, cut his finger again, dropping a fresh bead of blood on the white bone bracelet. This time, he noticed the fresh blood slowly merging into the white bone bracelet and the strands of blood wrapping around the bracelet gradually lighting up. Simultaneously, a deep and magnetic voice echoed in his mind: "If nothing goes wrong, the person who once again obtains the 'Silent Bone' should be my reincarnation. "You must have recovered much of your past life memories to have found this place. "Only with the Prince Bloodline of the Xiahong clan, and as the master of the Silent Bone, can one recognize the 'Silent Bone'.
