Chapter 1744: Surrogate Exam-Taker

An Lin squinted his eyes as he looked toward the Spirit Maiden. Youre the one making this offer, okay? If I can complete these one hundred questions and get them all correct, then youve got to twist your head off and let me play with it.

The Spirit Maiden straightened her slender body. Im a woman of my words, she said with a fearless expression. Its something completely impossible anyway. What have I got to be afraid of?

Anyway, what if you cant answer the one hundred questions correctly? The Spirit Maiden chuckled eerily. If theres no repercussion if you lose, then this gamble is invalid.

Fine, Ill also enter a stake. An Lin nodded. If I dont answer all one hundred questions correctly, then Xue Mengmeng will twist its head off for you to play with.

Xue Mengmeng: ???

The Spirit Maiden was astounded. Such a shameless person actually existed in this world?

However, looking at it closely, Xue Mengmengs skull was indeed quite adorable. The Spirit Maiden genuinely did want to play around with it for a bit. Thus, she agreed to this gamble.

In order to prevent its head from being twisted off, Xue Mengmengs expression became even more serious. First question, B. Second question, C. Third question, C. Fourth question, A. Fifth question, C

Xue Mengmeng read out the answers one by one.

An Lin condensed a pen using his soul power and started carving the answers out onto the black stone slab.

The Spirit Maiden started to feel a little uneasy. She knew the answers to the first eight questions, and the answers that Xue Mengmeng had read out were exactly the same as what she had in mind.

It cant be, right? How is this possible? This cant be happening

The Spirit Maiden shook her head furiously as she watched An Lin answer the questions at a frighteningly quick speed. Not only did her slender body start to tremble, but even her breathing started to become quick and labored.

Suddenly, the dreadful feeling of being dominated by An Lin welled up in her heart again. This kind of feeling was so painful yet so familiar. The four Holy Beasts hadnt been able to sanction An Lin, and now, even the Spirit Patriarch was unable to sanction him!

No! The questions become more and more difficult toward the end! Hell definitely make a mistake soon!

After a short while, An Lin completed the questions under Xue Mengmengs guidance.

Everything suddenly fell silent.

Regardless of whether it was the Spirit Maiden, Xue Mengmeng, or An Lin, all of them stared at the black stone slab intently.

Whoosh

The black stone slab suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterward, several large red words appeared on its surface: Congratulations, trial-taker. Youve successfully answered all of the questions correctly. Do you want to accept the Spirit Patriarchs inheritance?

The vast and profound soul power exuded by the black stone slab proved that this was indeed the Spirit Patriarchs power. Similarly, the decision to leave this inheritance was indeed also the Spirit Patriarchs true intention.

Hahaha I really answered all of them correctly? Xue Mengmeng, youre awesome! Thank you so much! An Lin exclaimed in praise as he excitedly embraced the gem-red skeleton next to him.

If Master really wants to thank me, then give me a few drops of your delicious blood. There was a look of craving on Xue Mengmengs face as it smacked its lips in hope.

This request is very reasonable. An Lin immediately cut his finger and let out a few drops of blood.

There was a look of satisfaction on Xue Mengmengs face.

The Spirit Maiden stood in a daze beside them. She stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before her.

Thats impossible! she continually muttered. How can this be? How can the Spirit Patriarchs questions be solved in such a short amount of time?

Is there anything surprising about that? Xue Mengmeng retorted. The Spirit Patriarch discussed most of these problems with me before. Moreover, I participated in most of the experiments that he carried out. Isnt it only normal that I can solve all of these problems?

Impossible Apart from the Blood Patriarch, my master would never discuss his experiments in detail with anyone else As she said this, the Spirit Maidens eyes suddenly widened in shock. Her mouth gaped open as if she had thought of something, and she looked toward Xue Mengmeng with an expression of pure shock.

Dont tell me that that youre

No! Im not the Blood Patriarch. Im Xue Mengmeng.

The Spirit Maiden was left speechless. She still hadnt said who this red skeleton was, had she?

Forget about it. Seeing how shocked and pitiful you are right now, Ill give you an explanation, An Lin said. Xue Mengmeng was formed after the Blood Patriarchs remains developed a spirit. This spirit also gained a portion of the Blood Patriarchs power and memory.

Even though the Spirit Maiden had suspicions in her mind, her mind still rang in shock as she heard this explanation.

Its the Blood Patriarch; its genuinely the Blood Patriarch Xue Mengmeng is the Blood Patriarch Everything makes sense now. No wonder the skeleton claimed to be a good friend of the Spirit Patriarch. No wonder the skeleton could complete all the questions in such a shockingly short amount of time

The more the Spirit Maiden thought about this, the more her face flushed red in embarrassment and shame. Not long ago, she praised the Blood Patriarch before the Blood Patriarch himself. At the same time, she had also belittled Xue Mengmeng. Thinking about that now, she felt utterly foolish and ashamed.

Sigh, Ive lost to An Lin once again. But who wouldve imagined that the once elegant and handsome male would end up becoming this strange and peculiar skeleton?

Why are you looking at me with that weird expression? I repeat, Im Xue Mengmeng, not the Blood Patriarch. As if feeling discriminated against, Xue Mengmeng huffed in anger.

Oh, the Spirit Maiden answered unenthusiastically. It was evident that she didnt believe Xue Mengmeng.

Thats right. Spirit Maiden, do you still remember our gamble? An Lin chuckled.

The Spirit Maidens slender body shuddered upon hearing this, and tears instantly brimmed in her eyes.

She had lost the gamble which meant that she had to twist her head off and let An Lin play with it

You this doesnt count! You clearly didnt rely on your own abilities to answer the questions. You used a surrogate exam-taker! Thats cheating! The Spirit Maiden resisted with all her strength.

Even the Spirit Patriarch has recognized my results. An Lin pointed at the large red words on the black stone slab. Perhaps youre even more authoritative than the Spirit Patriarch? Could it be that youre trying to exceed the Spirit Patriarchs authority?!

No! The Spirit Maiden shook her head furiously as her heart and soul both trembled uncontrollably. It was clear that she had suffered a severe blow.

It was a necessity for her to respect the Spirit Patriarchs decisions. Otherwise, she would be displaying great disrespect toward him. She was unable to endure this type of accusation.

An Lin is my master, Xue Mengmeng added. So, my strength is my masters strength; me answering the questions is the same as my master answering the questions.

Damage to the Spirit Maiden 2.

An Lin placed his hands on his hips and continued, I relied on my own abilities to summon this surrogate exam-taker. If youre able to, why dont you also summon a Blood Patriarch to do the questions for you? Are you able to?

Damage to the Spirit Maiden 3.

The Spirit Maidens HP bar had already decreased to zero, and her face was already covered in tears.

Fine, Ill twist my head off! Play with it all you want! There was a look of humiliation on the Spirit Maidens face as tears glimmered in her eyes. She used her hand as a blade and cleanly sliced her head off her slender neck.

Take it! the Spirit Maiden said bitterly as she carried her own head.

An Lin accepted the Spirit Maidens spirit head. The Spirit Maidens head felt cool to the touch, and her delicate and beautiful face also felt smooth and cool. There were still drops of spirit tears running down her cheeks.

An Lin couldnt help but squeeze the Spirit Maidens cheeks. It was extremely delicate and soft. After transforming into a physical form, the feel of spirit bodies was in fact quite nice. At least, they felt more physical than jelly.

There was a look of utter humiliation on the Spirit Maidens face, and she couldnt stop the tears from trickling down her face.

Just as she thought that An Lin would play with her head like this for a long time, she suddenly found that her head had been placed back onto her neck.

A warm and gentle hand patted her head.

The handsome male tousled the Spirit Maidens head and smiled. Alright, Ive finished playing with your head. Ive returned it back to you now.

Huh? The Spirit Maiden had thought that An Lin would continue toying around with her head for a long time. To her surprise, however, An Lin returned her head after an extremely short period of time. It seemed like he had merely squeezed her cheeks a bit and quickly allowed her to complete her gamble.

The Spirit Maiden suddenly felt quite touched.
