Shen Yin’s kindness left Xu Xiaolan at a bit of loss for what to do.
She was going to skip the trials and just bestow her inheritance upon her, what an extraordinary turn of events?
“Don’t be nervous, let me help you activate your dragon bloodline.” Shen Yin smiled dotingly with an expression akin to how an elderly person would look at a young child from the same family.
Xu Xiaolan nodded. The problem revolving around her dragon bloodline was something not even her father could resolve; who would have thought that this issue would finally meet a resolution in this Winter Dragon Tomb. This was probably the biggest reward she could’ve hoped for.
The irises of Shen Yin’s eyes turned golden in color, from which supreme dragon might radiated forth, making her appear as if she were a divine deity looking down upon everyone.
An extremely massive golden spell formation encompassed the entirety of the ground.
Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth began to swirl violently as countless golden symbols appeared in the air, before revolving around Xu Xiaolan.
The language of dragons sounded softly from Shen Yin’s lips, and her slim fingers quickly made one seal after another.
“The divine might of the Ancestral Dragon shall break open all seals!”
Shen Yin finally spoke a sentence that An Lin could understand before she put both fingers together and pointed them toward Xu Xiaolan’s forehead.
Boom!
The spell formation began to work in a frenzy as countless symbols merged into Xu Xiaolan’s body at an insane rate.
Xu Xiaolan furrowed her brows and moaned lightly in pain.
After a while, she felt as if something had been awakened.
Xu Xiaolan’s aura instantly underwent a drastic change to resemble the aura of an all-powerful queen with the world at her feet.
Her iris had become a pure golden color as a pair of phoenix wings spread behind her while azure dragons danced around her body, imbuing her with a sense of regal grace.
An Lin almost knelt down at the feet of Xu Xiaolan.
Was this the ultra-evolved version of Xu Xiaolan? It was so dazzling!!
Soon, Xu Xiaolan’s eyes returned to their normal black and white and her aura began to recede.
Shen Yin’s body swayed lightly as if she had expended too much energy.
Xu Xiaolan hurriedly supported Shen Yin to keep her upright and spoke in a tense voice that was simultaneously saturated with gratitude, “Thank you, Big Sister Shen Yin! Are you OK?”
Shen Yin shook her head. “I’m fine
 Let’s begin the next step of the inheritance. I’ll bestow upon you all my knowledge, observations, and the remnants of my bloodline power.”
She disregarded Xu Xiaolan’s reaction as she said this, and she once again laid her fingertips on Xu Xiaolan’s forehead.
The inheritance this time around was a lot quieter and more subdued; the process didn’t even stir up any ripples in the air.
Time passed by slowly, and An Lin sprawled out on Da Bai’s back while being at a loss. All he could really do was to stand by and appreciate the two exquisitely beautiful statues standing in front of him.
“Hey, Da Bai, which girl do you prefer between these two?” An Lin asked abruptly.
Da Bai had just been completely won over by Xu Xiaolan’s evolved from and immediately answered without hesitation, “Xu Xiaolan, of course, woof!”
Bam!
Da Bai immediately received a heavy blow to the head.
“I’ll give you another chance,” An Lin spoke in a cold voice.
Da Bai: “
 Shen Yin.”
An Lin nodded in satisfaction. A beast pet was obviously forbidden from pursuing the same woman as its owner.
Just as the two of them were chatting nonsense, Xu Xiaolan’s inheritance had come to an end.
Shen Yin retracted her hand as a relieved expression appeared on her face.
She raised her slender fingers slightly and ripples appeared in the air, from which translucent white rings leaped forth lightly to be pinched between her fingertips.
She held Xu Xiaolan’s porcelain-like hand in hers and slowly put the ring on her finger.
White holy light shone upon the both of them, creating a circular space which was secluded from their surroundings to form a separate space. It was as if they were the only two people left in the world.
Shen Yin wore a natural, heavenly smile on her face, whereas Xu Xiaolan’s face was slightly red with reverence and awe.
The two exquisitely beautiful women stood in the luxurious palace, completing the transfer of rings under the rays of holy light.
An Lin, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou stared at the scene before them with vacant expressions. They were so beautiful, so serene; it felt as if something in their hearts had awoken at that moment.
An Lin quickly came to his senses and suddenly had a feeling that Xu Xiaolan was somehow going to be snatched away from him.
Fortunately, the ring transfer ceremony ended quite quickly and the mysterious holy light also disappeared.
“Big Sister Shen Yin
” Xu Xiaolan was seemingly in a trance as she stared at the woman in front of her.
Shen Yin had not only activated her bloodline and gifted her with immortal tools, but she had also passed on all her observations, knowledge, and her remaining bloodline power accumulated over her entire life to Xu Xiaolan
 Such extraordinary gifts put her into a trance-like state, but what had she done to deserve such kindness from Shen Yin?
Shen Yin smiled and cast her gaze on everyone. “Are you interested in hearing an interesting story?”
“Of course, of course.” An Lin and the others nodded in unison.
They knew that if they gave a negative response, they’d definitely be slapped to death.
A nostalgic expression appeared on Shen Yin’s face, making her features even more gentle and soft. “Alright then, let me tell you a story, a story
 about me.”
An Lin made a clever gesture of bringing out little stools from his storage ring which he distributed to everyone so they could have a seat as they listened.
Everyone sat bolt upright and looked unblinkingly at Shen Yin in a display that said: “I’m ready, please begin, o’ great one”.
Shen Yin’s lips twitched slightly. She felt like the atmosphere had somehow been ruined.
However, Shen Yin was truly worthy of the title of a mighty figure, and she quickly recovered her groove again before opening her mouth to tell the story. However, what everyone didn’t expect was to hear a series of beautiful syllables flow from her lips instead of any coherent words.
A beautiful rhythm wafted through the air; it was like the voice of an angel singing the most heavenly song.
As everyone listened to Shen Yin’s song, a series of images began to appear in their minds. These weren’t just a series of normal images either, they were all imbued with memories, emotions, and even observations.
They saw a dazzling Dragon Court situated under the deep sea, where their attentions were focused on a little girl who was still in her infancy. Her name was Shen Yin.
An Lin did not understand what Shen Yin was singing, but he could clearly derive from her song the purity, tenderness, and confusion unique to an infant that had just been born into the world

Shen Yin was adorable and clever, with a pair of perfect dragon horns that were the envy of everyone around her. On top of that, she had the purest bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, with a pair of pure golden eyes from birth, making her a unique existence in her clan.
Her cultivation base progressed at a prodigious rate and very soon, she had transformed into a Cloud Dragon and subsequently into a horned dragon.
Her features were peerlessly elegant, and her combat strength far exceeded every tribe member of her age. She was the brightest jewel in the whole of her Dragon Court. Even the Dragon King did not spare his words of praise toward her and she was soon known by all as the Heavenly Dragon Maiden.
The sound of her singing gradually built up to a proud crescendo.
Shen Yin explored the Tai Chu Continent, and her powerful combat strength coupled with her beautiful looks soon alerted the whole Tai Chu Continent to the existence of the Heavenly Dragon Maiden. She was not a kind and gentle woman. On the contrary, she became a killing machine, uprooting countless evil sects during her journey, and her cultivation base also rose steadily as she progressed through the continent.
She journeyed west, all the way into the Kingdom of the Nine States.
She was ambushed by foes from a demonic sect there.
The sect, known as the Qing Huan Sect, deployed eight Soul Formation Stage elders to trap and kill her.
The spell formation created by their combined strength was extremely powerful, capable of killing anyone under Return to Void Stage cultivation base. Although Shen Yin was quite powerful, she had not yet reached Return to Void Stage cultivation base, so the only result that awaited her seemed to be an inevitable death.
However, in this dire situation, a man as dazzling as a phoenix suddenly appeared in her life.
He was the top disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect—Dongfang Ming
