Runes are unique symbols commonly used to create artifacts, seals, and are always applied to an object first before they can be used.In this world, that is the extent of people’s understanding of Runes. However, those with deeper knowledge know that Runes are not only used to strengthen weapons, create artifacts, or form seals—they can be used in many other ways.One of them is healing, and that is exactly what Wang Chen was doing right now.Using a Rune formation, he released all the energy absorbed by Ye Ning’s muscles, causing the muscles that were in the process of strengthening to weaken. Gradually, Ye Ning’s condition improved, slowly recovering until she was finally free from her suffocating state.Ye Ning immediately fell into a deep sleep, as she was already exhausted. Moreover, the comfort during the treatment process and the sense of relief afterward made it impossible for her to stay awake.“Huff...” Wang Chen collapsed to the ground, having pushed his concentration to th

Wang Chen and Chu Yan explored the ruins together, collecting all the treasures within.With the help of a map that could indicate the locations of treasures and even deactivate all traps, their journey went incredibly smoothly. There were no obstacles along the way, allowing them to gather everything with ease.They were also quite fortunate that Fang Yi handed over the treasures she had obtained from the ruins as a gesture of gratitude.Chu Yan refused to accept them, but Wang Chen accepted without hesitation, leaving Chu Yan completely helpless since no one supported his stance.Those treasures were extremely valuable—especially since they were all related to Runes—so there was no way Wang Chen would refuse.Aside from Fang Yi’s treasures, they also obtained the belongings of the four Purple Valley Sect members they had killed earlier. Those four had managed to acquire several treasures as well, so Wang Chen took everything, including all the contents of their spatial rings.One by

Yun Xue, known as the Heavenly Seal Master, was a highly renowned Level 8 Rune Master.She had a lover who was also a Level 8 Rune Master—the leader of a major Rune Master organization on the continent, Han Jiang. Meanwhile, Yun Xue herself was an independent Rune Master who was not affiliated with any organization.However, after entering a relationship with Han Jiang, she began visiting his organization more frequently, developing various Rune formations together with him. Even so, Yun Xue never fully joined the organization.Until one day, while the two of them were exploring a certain place together, they discovered a large quantity of Star Essence Steel.Star Essence Steel was extremely valuable—a peak-tier material that could be used to forge Level 9 artifacts—and there was an enormous amount of it.However, since the two of them discovered it together, they had to split it equally.Han Jiang, who wanted to claim everything for himself, ultimately betrayed Yun Xue and stabbed he

Wang Chen continued meditating, running simulations within his mind.Because the simulations operated faster than normal time, Wang Chen had no idea how much time had passed since he began. In truth, he didn’t think about it at all, as he was completely focused on his work.Finally, he finished and opened his eyes.At that moment, he froze when he saw Ye Ning’s face right in front of his. He remained still, making no move, staring into her eyes at close distance.Ye Ning also remained motionless, not even blinking as she stared at Wang Chen. After a few moments, she suddenly pulled back.“Ah, sorry, Wang Chen. Did I disturb you?” Ye Ning panicked.“No, I actually just finished.” Wang Chen showed no reaction despite being surprised and confused, ‘What was she trying to do just now?’“Ah, um, I…” Ye Ning didn’t know what to say, but she quickly regained her composure. “How is it? Did your meditation yield results?”She chose not to bring up what had just happened and instead shifted the

Wang Chen immediately fell backward after finishing implanting the Runes into Ye Ning’s body. He was extremely exhausted, like someone who had just run dozens of kilometers without stopping.Meanwhile, Ye Ning felt incredibly good, in the best condition she had ever been in her life.Hearing the sound of Wang Chen falling, she quickly turned around. Seeing how exhausted he was, she smiled gently.Ye Ning walked over and made Wang Chen rest his head on her lap.Wang Chen was confused, but he didn’t say anything because he was too tired—even speaking a single word felt difficult.“Feeling better now?” Ye Ning asked with a sweet smile.Wang Chen looked at Ye Ning’s face. From his perspective, she seemed radiant—beautiful and warm. Now that he was lying on her lap, it felt incredibly soft and comfortable, so soothing that Wang Chen, already extremely exhausted, couldn’t resist falling asleep.“He fell asleep just like that?” Ye Ning didn’t expect him to fall asleep so quickly.“You really
