The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

After an unknown amount of time, everything returned to normal. The woman struggled to open her eyes, propped herself up, and sat up from the ground. Looking at the mud and blood all over her body, she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. She saw mountains and rivers, lush green trees, and wisps of smoke rising from the thatched hut behind her, giving her a very unreal feeling.

Where am I? Aren't I already dead?

Suddenly remembering something, Ying Li's face darkened. She raised her hand and touched the face that Ying Luo had just disfigured. Apart from being a little damp and swollen, the area she touched with her right hand did not have the flesh turned outwards and bones pierced as she remembered. She boldly rubbed it a few times, and there was no extra pain on her face. However, the bloodstains on her palm made Ying Li's head ache.

Could it be that everything just now was fake?! But those vivid scenes, the scenes of Ying Luo holding the horsewhip and the burst of spiritual energy... there were still tears in the corners of her eyes. Ying Li touched her wrist and suddenly felt a heavy weight on it. A beam of blue spiritual energy shot out from her wrist. She squinted slightly and used a lot of effort to see clearly that it was a string of seven-star withered bone rings!

How did the rarest Bone Ring on the Spirit Realm Continent end up in my hands in the blink of an eye? Thinking of how my grandfather had sent people all over Jin'an Kingdom to help me restore my spiritual power, and even sent people to purchase it from other countries on the Spirit Realm Continent, but still he still couldn't find this kind of bracelet.

These are totem bracelets left behind by the Spirit Lords after their Nirvana. Legend has it that even a fool who possesses one will instantly regain his mind and experience a surge in spiritual power, making it easy to intercept and kill level three spirit beasts without any spiritual cultivation.

Fifteen years ago, a string of two-star bracelets appeared on the Spirit Realm Continent. In order to obtain the power of the bracelets, the nine major families on the continent fought tooth and nail, and three generations of fourth-level Spirit Masters perished. Later, as the trend of fighting for the bracelets intensified, it became a reason for the major families to seek revenge. The fighting lasted for nearly ten years and finally ended with the disappearance of the Bone Rings.

Ying Li stroked the seven skulls with ancient totems printed on the bracelet. The cold touch and occasional pricking sensation traveled from her fingertips to her brain, making her eyes clearer and easing her headache.

What on earth happened?! She was clearly beaten to death by Ying Luo, but not only did she survive, she also obtained the incredibly valuable Dry Bone Ring. Could it be that some powerful figure saved her?!

"Little beauty, no need to guess, I saved you. How about repaying you with your body?" A lazy voice sounded in her ear, and Ying Li felt a sudden chill. Her eyes instinctively scanned her surroundings, but she saw nothing except the thatched hut behind her. She glanced down at the bone ring, which had been surrounded by a blue light since the voice sounded. Soon, the blue light intensified, and Ying Li squinted. When she opened her eyes again, a man in purple robes with a bewitching face stood before her. He had a crescent-shaped scar on his right temple, which contrasted with his handsome face, giving him an inexplicable eerie and sinister air.

"Hello, little master," he said with a wicked smile, then planted a warm kiss on Ying Li's ear, his breath hot on the woman's neck. Ying Li's face froze, even her hair stiffened.

"Who are you?!" Ying Li struggled to dodge, looking at the alluring man in front of her, a chill running through her body. What was the reason behind all these strange events?!
