Chapter 252: Wang Dong – Tonight, You Got Lucky
"Do you feel it? It's calling to you."
Ye Chen noticed the strange glow filling the room, instantly sensing something unusual.
"Yes, I can feel it. This soul bone feels deeply connected to me~"
Wang Dong nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Without the slightest hesitation, she extended her left hand and grasped the bone in her palm.
Buzz!
A deep hum filled the air.
In an instant, dazzling golden radiance surged outward, completely engulfing Wang Dong's figure!
The left arm bone—infused with the blood essence of the Ten Thousand-Year Golden Earth Dragon King—began to melt the moment it touched Wang Dong's pure Light-attributed soul power, transforming into molten golden energy. The viscous, glowing liquid seemed alive as it quickly spread along Wang Dong's fingertips, merging into her left arm.
"Mm~"
A low, blissful hum escaped Wang Dong's lips, like someone slipping into a perfectly warm hot spring on a cold winter day.
Her brows softened completely, showing no trace of pain from the energy entering her body. Instead, her face grew flushed as her blood surged with vitality.
A faint golden glow enveloped her entire body.
The vast light energy flowed into her as if returning home, smoothly fusing with her bones, flesh, and veins without a hint of resistance.
The Light Goddess Butterfly's aura tenderly embraced her, while the trace of pure light-dragon blood contained within the bone harmonized seamlessly with the divine aura of her martial soul. It was gently subdued and assimilated, becoming part of her newfound strength.
The ease of the process was almost outrageous.
From Ye Chen's perspective, the contrast was striking.
He remembered when Xiao Xiao absorbed her own soul bone—she had nearly died from the unbearable pain. If not for his sealing power, she would have been torn apart by the raging energy.
But Wang Dong's absorption was completely different—effortless, natural, even pleasurable, as if the bone had always belonged to her.
And it made sense.
On one hand, this Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone matched Wang Dong's attributes perfectly. The absorption flowed naturally, without obstruction.
Xiao Xiao's external soul bone, however, was completely incompatible with her attribute. Forcing the fusion had been incredibly difficult.
But then, soul bones were inherently rare; finding one that matched a person's attribute was even rarer.
Normally, a soul master would absorb any soul bone they could get, regardless of compatibility. Attribute alignment simply made the power more effective—perhaps by ten or twenty percent. Lack of alignment didn't weaken it, though the benefits might be slightly reduced.
Still, soul bones granted tremendous increases in power and combat capability, enough to create a massive gap between soul masters of the same rank. No one would reject a soul bone for such a small detail.
On the other hand, it might be a matter of destiny.
In the original tale, this particular bone was fated to be absorbed by Wang Dong. It was destiny—her fortune as a daughter of fate. The process flowed as naturally as breathing.
By contrast, Xiao Xiao's bone originally belonged to Huo Yuhao. Her attempt to absorb it was a defiance of fate itself. Although Ye Chen's sealing ability allowed her to succeed, she had endured tremendous agony—the price of rewriting destiny.
Even in this fantasy world, fate and karma manifested quite clearly.
Like that "Huo hanger-on"...
The golden light in the room blazed brilliantly but remained calm, void of any violent fluctuations.
Wang Dong sat cross-legged on the bed, body relaxed and serene, as though she had simply entered deep meditation.
The gentle golden glow surrounding her was warm and comforting, like sunlight touching her skin.
Time seemed to pass slowly within that soothing light.
Ye Chen silently stood guard beside her, watching every subtle change in her body with tender eyes.
Occasionally, her left arm twitched slightly—a sign that flesh and bone were merging at a deeper level.
The golden glow surrounding her pulsed softly, like calm, rhythmic breathing.
Gradually, the liquid-like brilliance gathered back into Wang Dong's body, converging at her left arm. The aura of the soul bone disappeared completely, merging seamlessly into her.
Finally, when the last ray of light faded into her skin, the shimmering gold veil on her body vanished as well.
Wang Dong slowly opened her eyes.
Her clear bluish-pink irises now gleamed even more brilliantly—like gemstones freshly washed by spring water—carrying a captivating radiance.
Deep within her pupils flickered a faint golden flame, glinting and fading away.
Ye Chen could feel it clearly—the power of light within her was purer, stronger than ever.
There was no doubt: the soul bone had completely integrated, offering substantial benefits.
"Congratulations~ You've successfully absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul bone."
Ye Chen stepped forward, gently embracing Wang Dong and planting a small kiss on her soft nose.
"Hehe~ Then I guess I should thank you for the gift~"
Wang Dong giggled playfully, slid her arms around his neck, and with a swift motion, she pulled Ye Chen onto the bed, straddling him.
Their faces were just inches apart, their breath mingling—hot and stirring.
Her freshly moistened lips, pink and inviting from the power infusion, made Ye Chen's heart race uncontrollably.
"So… how do you plan to thank me?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone mischievous. He leaned up slightly and teasingly licked her lips.
"Mmm…"
Wang Dong's face reddened.
She shifted slightly atop him, her movements sending sparks down his spine.
"Fine… you got lucky tonight…"
She pursed her lips shyly, then reached for Ye Chen's belt…
"Ye Chen, Wang Dong~ Are you two finished yet?"
Just then, Xiao Xiao's voice came from the doorway.
She had actually been waiting outside for quite some time but hadn't dared to knock, afraid of interrupting Wang Dong's absorption.
Though she couldn't see what was happening inside, she could sense the powerful aura within the room.
A moment ago, that pure energy had suddenly vanished. She knew that meant Wang Dong's soul bone absorption was complete.
The room wasn't very soundproof, and she had even heard… some strange noises.
"Ah… Xiao Xiao's outside…"
Wang Dong's face flushed scarlet. She immediately scrambled off Ye Chen, straightened her clothes, and hurriedly fixed the disarray he had caused.
