Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

This detection range meant it was hard to spot if you weren’t looking for it. It could still be found with a careful search.

Lin Qingyan didn’t know what these Divine Fragments were planning. When she saw a black box falling from the sky, she was stunned. She looked up at the sky, but apart from a tiny little black dot, there seemed to be nothing else. This box couldn’t have just fallen from the sky, could it? It was somewhat beyond Lin Qingyan’s scope of understanding.

The supply crate contained a comprehensive set of medical supplies. Over the past month at Rhodes Island, Lucas Reeve, with his outstanding talent, had naturally self-taught some knowledge of medical first aid.

After confirming that no one was around.

Lucas Reeve was a little reluctant, but he still took the initiative to walk over, preparing to bandage the injuries of this unnamed blond-haired Kylin lady.

”Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m just going to treat you. If you’re not willing, I’ll leave immediately.”

As Lucas Reeve approached.

Lin Qingyan was like a startled kitten, her sharp eyes filled with ferocity.

”Oh...”

Lin Qingyan said ”oh,” and after weighing the pros and cons, she chose to accept Lucas Reeve’s treatment. Who knew how long it would take for her colleagues to arrive, and while her injuries weren’t fatal, they were quite serious. She was out in the wilderness, and there was no telling if more evil spirits or demon beasts would appear.

After all.

Things hadn’t been very peaceful within Yan lately.

Outside Yan, Ursus was in turmoil, Victoria’s capital had been seized by outsiders amidst the chaos, the various Grand Dukes were making their moves, the demonic incursions in the northern steppes were growing fiercer, and the Seaborn in the south were not to be underestimated. As a vassal state of Yan, Higashi was also plagued by continuous civil war. The entire Terra was in a state of unrest.

As for Yan itself, demon beasts were gradually running rampant, evil spirits were on the rise, the consciousnesses of various gods that had long been shattered were stirring, and it was unknown when the Sui beast would reawaken.

Not just Yan.

The entirety of Terra, though seemingly calm on the surface, was actually turbulent beneath.

As Lin Qingyan was thinking.

Suddenly, Lucas Reeve’s voice came.

”Excuse me, Miss blond-haired Kylin, may I touch your leg?”

”???”

Lin Qingyan was stunned, then immediately bristled. She formed a hand seal, and in an instant, a faint crackle of lightning erupted from her Kylin horns, forming a bolt that shot toward Lucas Reeve.

”Scoundrel!!”

Lucas Reeve speechlessly dodged the lightning bolt’s attack.

”I’m asking you... your leg is broken. I need to bandage and set it. Can I touch your leg? Otherwise, I can’t treat it... Miss Blondie.”

”Ah... oh...”

Only then did Lin Qingyan understand what he meant. A blush immediately flashed across her fair, pretty face, and then she shot Lucas Reeve a fierce glare. After a moment of frantic hesitation, she finally gave a difficult nod.

”You may...”

This decision was incredibly difficult for Lin Qingyan.

In all her life, she had never had any physical contact with a man, not even hand-to-hand. Let alone the more intimate contact of a hand on her thigh. If this had been back when she had just graduated from the Tianshi Fu, Lin Qingyan would have rather remained injured in the forest than let a strange man touch her leg. However, after so many years working at the Dali Temple, Lin Qingyan’s temper had mellowed out just a tiny bit.

Besides.

Lin Qingyan was frantically trying to hypnotize herself.

*This is a Divine Fragment! This is a Divine Fragment, not a person. It’s just taken on a human form. Gods are genderless...*

Lucas Reeve was speechless at this moment..

Especially Lin Qingyan’s expression—slightly disgusted, yet helpless, forcing herself to accept it without resisting. Tsk, tsk... it reminded Lucas Reeve of a certain doujinshi he had once read.

”Ah~”

When Lucas Reeve’s cold hand touched Lin Qingyan’s snowy-white thigh, her whole body couldn’t help but tremble. A tingling, numbing sensation spread from the skin of her thigh throughout her entire body, and she even broke out in goosebumps uncontrollably.

This feeling of the opposite sex touching her thigh stained Lin Qingyan’s prideful face with a blush like a red apple.

She forced herself to calm down and not look at this nameless Divine Fragment in front of her.

But the simple touch of his palm against her thigh made Lin Qingyan involuntarily let out a soft whimper.
