Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me ‘Husband’ Chapter 5: The Mysterious Feminine Immortal Physique: The Initiation Ceremony

Previously on Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me ‘Husband’...

Li Mo, aspiring to join the Clear Abyss Sect, believed that investing in the destined Empress Ying Bing would bring great returns. He brought Ying Bing to a skilled physician his father knew, a seemingly young but ninety-six-year-old master who discovered Ying Bing's condition was not Meridian Extinction but a rare constitution. Li Mo then spent a fortune on Pure Yang Elixirs for her, which unexpectedly altered Ying Bing's state of mind and triggered a special critical strike rebate for him.

Between childhood friends, after years of knowing each other, the young man and woman were finally sharing a private room for the first time.

The girl’s silhouette vanished as her slender hands pulled the bed's curtains tight.

“Frozen over once again.”

Li Mo looked away and settled onto the small divan, wrapping himself in a quilt.

She certainly didn't seem like the type to be easily persuaded by a few sentences, no matter how he analyzed her.

Oh well. Her inner thoughts remained a total mystery to him.

A massive crack of thunder, which only he could perceive, exploded in his mind.

His consciousness was thrown into a state of total disorder, as if split apart by a bolt of lightning, leaving him unable to sense his own body.

Bzz—

Within that mental chaos, a tempest seemed to rage—resembling the very birth of the universe, overflowing with a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds.

Li Mo’s senses were overwhelmed; he could see and hear nothing clearly.

For a brief second, he felt as tiny as a grain of sand, yet simultaneously as expansive as the cosmos, far beyond the limits of human understanding.

It was as if he had vanished entirely, yet was present in every corner of existence.

The passage of time became meaningless.

Then—

Total darkness pulled him under.

Across the room on the bed, a layer of frost began to creep over the silk curtains, making
