You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 353 - 5. Innate Divine Power 3

The remaining Divine Skills could be considered his advantage.

At least... in future fights, he wouldn't have to worry about collapsing into a state of near-death afterward.

"I wonder how much of the Secret Listening Divine Skill remains..."

For some reason, Lin Yue always felt that the Secret Listening Divine Skill was somewhat peculiar.

After resting for a while and eating two honey pills, he finally regained considerable strength.

Lin Yue looked at the bruises and swelling formed on his finger from pulling the bowstring. How long had it been, and it had already recovered quite a bit?

It was obviously far beyond the recovery speed of an ordinary person, dozens of times faster, and even the internal injuries were healing. This had already exceeded the natural recovery capabilities of a mortal.

"It seems I will recover soon, but I need to eat more." Lin Yue understood a bit.

After all, even the Innate Divine Power consumed something, previously depleting the world's Essence, now consuming his own.

After resting for a while longer, he felt much better.

Only then did Lin Yue stand up to gather the four Iron Embryo Bows and the scattered steel arrows, retrieving the Flying Knife as well.

"They might be somewhat useful."

Lin Yue contemplated to himself, "In the future, I could use them for trading with others, or for hunting."

This Beiyuan Mountain area covered only a range of a hundred miles, but he had to stay here for a full year before he could leave.

Even though there was a power to replace death here in the Beiyuan Mountain, resulting in not actually dying when killed, if someone died, they would sleep until the year was completed and then be expelled, forever unable to reenter. This was considered a death penalty.

There were no special rules, as long as one survived a year with a mortal body, that would suffice.

Everyone brought limited food, so they wouldn't last long, eventually needing to hunt, find water sources, and farm.

As for what one could gain from this wilderness, it depended on oneself.

Lin Yue searched through the corpses of Xiahong Yuanyu and his four subordinates, discovering some medicinal powders, pills, and poisons used by Mortal Martial Artists, as well as some dried rations and honey pills in their bags, along with quite a few seeds.

Their choices were similar to his own.

However, the four brought very little food, with most weight on the Iron Embryo Bows and arrows, which were good for hunting.

"I wonder if wolf meat tastes good..."

Lin Yue inspected the bodies of the white wolves, suddenly turning his gaze towards the deep forest.

Night had fallen, making it hard to see clearly, but a faint silhouette was visible.

"Who?"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up an Iron Embryo Bow, fitted an arrow, and walked towards the figure.

As the figure came out, the setting sun illuminated her face.

— It was the Seventh Princess.

"Princess Seventh?"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "Your Highness was the first to enter the North Garden, and Xiahong Yuanyu wouldn't trouble you. I thought you had already left."

Typically, princes and princesses who hadn't been titled wouldn't be overly targeted, even if they're potential threats.

His conflict with the Twelfth Prince was purely personal, and the Twelfth Prince understood this, so he would suppress him whenever possible, even if he wasn't sure it was him.

The Seventh Princess was like the Fourth Prince, both being amiable and untitled, so naturally, no one targeted them.

"I did leave."

The Seventh Princess glanced at the corpses on the ground and looked at him curiously, speaking softly, "Seeing your formidable aura before, I guessed you were quite capable. I thought you'd be lucky to escape, but I didn't expect you to kill them all?"

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

"Did the sudden appearance of the wolf pack get lured by the Seventh Princess?" he couldn't help but ask.

If it weren't for the coincidental arrival of the wolves, he would have needed a few more bursts of the Fire Spreading to ensure the kill of Xiahong Yuanyu and his men, which might have resulted in severe injuries.

He might not even be able to stand now.

"I just dislike overly cruel methods."

The Seventh Princess shook her head slightly, saying, "I thought the wolf pack would cause them some trouble, giving you a bit more of a chance to survive. I didn't expect you to achieve this extent."

Lin Yue suddenly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life. I will never forget this kindness. Could Your Highness give me a chance to repay you?"

The Seventh Princess wasn't visiting the Beiyuan Mountains for the first time; having her guidance would certainly be convenient.

"Repay? No need." The Seventh Princess gently shook her head.

Lin Yue knew that dealing with morally upright Buddhist individuals was best achieved through moral obligations. He promptly said,

"The Beiyuan Mountains are quite dangerous, and Your Highness is a mortal now, alone. I'm really not at ease. Since I have some expertise in Martial Arts, why not let me guard Your Highness for some time?"

"I know Your Highness appreciates tranquility, but I'm sincerely concerned about Your Highness's safety. If anything were to happen to you, I would live in regret for the rest of my life."

Lin Yue's expression was earnest.

After all, everyone was currently a mortal, unable to perceive the Divine Soul's fluctuations and truths. Even the most powerful methods were useless.

Sure enough, the Seventh Princess paused for a moment, hesitated briefly, then reluctantly nodded, saying, "Then... all right."

She sighed internally.

"This person, though a bit ominous, knows gratitude. No, wait... Has my mother started matchmaking again for a Prince Consort, does he want that position..."
