Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Upon meeting her gaze, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly remembered something. With a slight thought, she raised her hand and took out a dark wood box from her storage soul tool.

"Big sister, this was specially prepared for you."

Before she finished speaking, she had already steadily handed over the wooden box.

Zhu Zhuyun didn't refuse, took it, opened the box, and looked down—

Swish!

He froze instantly, even his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

After several breaths, she suddenly came to her senses, her pupils trembling slightly, her voice strained: "This... is a soul bone? And... it's at least ten thousand years old!"

Seeing her lose her composure, Zhu Zhuqing nodded calmly, her voice clear and bright: "That's right, this is not just a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone—"

"It's also the right leg bone of a 32,000-year-old Netherworld Cat."

"Perfect for you."

This bone was the first soul bone that Lin Quan and his group hunted when they ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest; it was also a gift from the 30,000-year-old Netherworld Spirit Cat when Zhu Zhuqing was refining her third soul ring!

In this world where martial spirits reign supreme, soul bones are called "blood marrow treasures." When they appear once every thousand years, they attract fierce competition from heroes; when they appear once every ten thousand years, they are enough to stir up a storm in the region.

But for Lin Quan and his group, it had become something they had on hand – keeping it wouldn't hurt, but discarding it would be a pity.

"It's too valuable... I can't accept it."

Zhu Zhuyun held the wooden box in her palm, her throat moved slightly, and her heart was burning and churning. She almost wanted to draw in her inner energy and refine it on the spot.

But in an instant, a sharp determination flashed in her eyes, and she snapped the lid shut with a "click" and pushed it back.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her, a slight smile playing on her lips. With a gentle twist of her wrist, she pushed the box back steadily: "Big sister, it was originally chosen for you."

"But this..."

Zhu Zhuyun had just opened her mouth when Lin Quan raised his hand and gestured, causing ripples to appear in the mirror, and two new wooden boxes appeared out of thin air.

"That piece was Zhu Qing's gift, and these two are my congratulatory gifts."

Before he finished speaking, two wooden boxes were placed side by side in front of Zhu Zhuyun.

The three wooden boxes stand quietly side by side, identical in shape, with ink-black lacquer, and even the direction of the wood grain is exactly the same.

Zhu Zhuyun's heart skipped a beat before she even lifted the lid—as if she had already glimpsed the contents of the box.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she lifted the first lid—

It really is a soul bone!

Lift the second one—

It's still a soul bone!

A skull that is about 80,000 years old, and a humanoid torso bone that is about 90,000 years old!

It was a treasure that Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing obtained by fighting their way into the frigid far north a few days ago!

"This...this...this..."

Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment.

Surprise surged, astonishment roared, and a sense of absurdity and reality collided violently in my chest.

Before she could recover, Lin Quan replied in a deep voice, "The skull is about 80,000 years old, and the torso bones are nearly 90,000 years old—all befitting your current level."

"Melt these three pieces together while they're still hot."

"Once your bones have fused and your body has settled, Zhu Qing and I will accompany you on a trip to the Soul Ring Hunting Grounds."

Only then did Zhu Zhuyun finally breathe a sigh of relief, her fingertips slowly loosening, and a thin layer of sweat seeping from her palms.

Even so, Zhu Zhuyun still felt like she was in a dream.

Her gaze fell on Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing, her voice trembling slightly: "These...these three soul bones, are you really...really going to give them to me?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, their lips twitched, and a look of helplessness crept onto their brows.

"Big sister, don't hesitate, absorb it quickly, we'll protect you."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly to her, her eyes resolute. Only then did Zhu Zhuyun believe her completely and stop refusing.

She opened her palm, her fingertips touching the warm, gleaming right shinbone, and pressed it against her knee without hesitation.

Time slips by silently...

As the night outside the window gradually faded and the sky began to lighten, Zhu Zhuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the three soul bones were completely integrated into her bloodline.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

She had just opened her eyes when there was a knock on the door, the knocking both rapid and restrained.

"Young Master Lin, Miss Zhu Qing—"

Lin Quan looked up at the sound and gestured with his chin towards Zhu Zhuqing: "It's that old poisoner. Go open the door."

As soon as the door opened, Dugu Bo stood on the porch, his gaze sweeping over the man and three women inside. He stopped in his tracks, a look of unexpected astonishment flashing across his face.

"Young Master Lin... I'm afraid I've come here at this hour because I've stumbled upon something important..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already subconsciously taken half a step back, looking slightly flustered.

The three sisters stood in a row before me: their figures were as upright as pine trees, their faces each unique, yet their temperaments were completely different—one was as cold as frost, one as calm as water, and one as sharp as a blade. Yet, their eyebrow and facial features were strikingly similar, creating a breathtakingly beautiful living painting!

Lin Quan glanced at his embarrassed expression and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He then raised his hand to introduce, "This is Zhu Qing's eldest sister, this is her second sister... As for this one—" He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, "the famous Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

Swish!

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu were both startled, their pupils suddenly contracting.

Indeed, with the transformation of his martial soul, the long-standing threat of poison was swept away. Dugu Bo had long since shed his withered appearance and returned to his handsome middle-aged appearance—his sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his features were distinct, and there was no longer any trace of sinister intent in his every move, only a calm and composed demeanor. He was definitely a handsome uncle with outstanding demeanor!

Before they could react, Lin Quan turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuyun: "Eldest sister, let's go back to the palace to report first, and then we'll set off for the Star Dou Forest to hunt for soul rings."

"We met outside Xingluo City."

Zhu Zhuyun swallowed hard, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and make the arrangements right away."

Before she finished speaking, her gaze swept over Zhu Zhuyu and Zhu Zhuqing. With a thought, she instantly summoned her martial spirit. In a flash, a green shadow appeared, and she burst out of the window, leaving only a streak of light streaking towards the dawn.

Lin Quan watched her leave, then turned to the three people inside the house: "Zhu Qing, you take Second Sister and the Old Poisoner out of the city first, I'll be there shortly."

"Oh, right, leave the letter of divorce here."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much, only softly replied "okay", pressed the paper on the corner of the table, then grabbed Zhu Zhuyu's wrist, and in a flash, they had already darted out of the house.

Dugu Bo didn't say much. He flicked his sleeves, lightly touched the window frame with his toes, and rose into the air, his clothes fluttering as he followed closely behind.

Lin Quan only looked away when the three figures had completely disappeared into the morning mist.

He grabbed the letter of divorce from the table, and in a flash, headed straight for the palace.

In the blink of an eye, the night patrol guards passed by one after another without anyone noticing.

In the blink of an eye, he had shattered the morning light and arrived at the palace gate tower.

boom--!

Lightning exploded, purple lightning flashed like dragons, and violent thunder roared out from his body!

In an instant, the entire city tower trembled as if about to crack, and surging air currents and rolling thunder emanated from him!

Within a radius of several dozen feet, it instantly turned into a boiling hell of thunder!

The overwhelming pressure emanating from Lin Quan, a peak innate level, exploded like a mountain collapsing or a raging sea bursting its banks.

In that earth-shattering instant, the energy surged like a tornado tearing through the sky, its force shaking the palace walls—

The entire palace trembled instantly! Countless guards, both visible and hidden, tensed up, while the worshippers hidden behind beams, pillars, corners, and screen walls opened their eyes and scanned the palace gates with their divine senses.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
