Chapter 3591 It gradually becomes clear
Lin Wan'er's words always managed to soothe Ye Chen's emotions at the most appropriate time and with the most effective results.
Ye Chen immediately realized that these handprints might not be over yet. If it was really a constantly evolving technique, as Lin Wan'er said, then as long as he persisted, he might reap even greater rewards.
So he said to the three of them, "In that case, let's go back first and come back tonight."
All three nodded in agreement, and Ye Chen then returned with them to the Nordic royal family's vacation villa.
At this moment, Helena was wearing a smooth and soft silk nightgown and was busy preparing breakfast for Ye Chen and the other three in the villa.
She fried sausages, eggs, toasted bread, made sandwiches, and heated milk, just waiting for the four of them to come back so they could enjoy it together.
When the four returned to the warm villa, none of them expected that the dignified Queen of the Nordic countries would personally prepare a sumptuous breakfast for them.
Although Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu had already abstained from grains, seeing how enthusiastic the Empress was, they couldn't refuse, so they sat down at the dining table with Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er.
It was only then that the women noticed Helena's figure; wrapped in her pajamas, it was full and graceful, especially her proudly erect breasts, which made them, as women themselves, secretly envious.
Whether it's Lin Wan'er, Yun Rugo, or Song Ruyu, they all possess the typical classical beauty and figure of an Eastern woman. Compared to Helena, they are all much thinner and naturally not as curvaceous.
After everyone finished breakfast, Helena smiled and asked, "What are your plans for this morning? Would you like me to show you around?"
Ye Chen said, "Helena, Miss Yun, Miss Song, and I will all be going into seclusion later. For safety's sake, it would be best if you and Miss Lin did not leave the villa."
Helena was immediately disappointed. She had waited for Ye Chen all night, but she didn't expect that he would only come back for breakfast before going into seclusion. She had put aside her royal affairs to come here hoping to have more opportunities to spend time with him, but if this continued, the chance for the two of them to have a private conversation every day would be extremely rare.
However, Helena was also a sensible woman. She knew that Ye Chen had important matters to attend to, and she certainly couldn't hold him back at this time. So she nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Ye. If you need anything, just let me know. I won't leave here while you are in seclusion."
After breakfast, Ye Chen said to Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu, "Miss Yun and Miss Song, if you don't mind, let's go to my room to cultivate together later. I have a set of hand seals that I need you two to help me verify."
Without hesitation, Song Ruyu nodded immediately: "Yes, Mr. Ye."
Yun Rugo was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "I will follow Mr. Ye's instructions."
Ye Chen then instructed Lin Wan'er and Helena not to leave the villa, and then went with Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu to the room that Helena had arranged for him.
Fortunately, the royal vacation villa had large enough rooms, each with its own living room, so Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room with the two of them.
The first set of hand seals was a counteracting hand seal for Ye Chen. It would draw away the spiritual energy in his body, and at a much faster rate than the second set of hand seals could generate spiritual energy. The difference between the two was more than a hundred times.
However, Ye Chen felt that his spiritual energy did not disappear inexplicably. It was most likely absorbed by some mysterious thing in his body that he did not know about. It was probably the culprit that used the aurora to display hand seals twice.
To verify his guess, Ye Chen wanted Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu to try the hand seals from the first time. If their spiritual energy did not mysteriously disappear, then it would prove that his guess was correct.
At the same time, in order to prevent himself from guessing wrong and causing a large loss of spiritual energy in the two women, Ye Chen also prepared two Qi-Nourishing Pills. If the spiritual energy in the two women's bodies was damaged, he would use the Qi-Nourishing Pills to help them recover.
In short, we cannot let them suffer losses because of us.
Only then did he teach the two the complete set of hand seals from the first time.
In order to avoid triggering the hand seals and absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from his body, Ye Chen deliberately reversed the order of the hand seals. Only after the two of them had learned them did he tell them the correct order.
There were eight handprints in total for the first time. When Ye Chen taught them, he deliberately used the order of 1234 and 8765.
When he finished making the first four hand seals, the golden pagoda in his sea of consciousness couldn't wait to emerge from it, ready to absorb spiritual energy. But unexpectedly, Ye Chen's hand seals went awry, causing the golden pagoda's light to go out instantly. After a moment, it seemed to plunge back into his sea of consciousness with resentment and frustration.
Ye Chen cautiously demonstrated the eight hand seals in a scrambled order. Finding no change in his spiritual energy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and then said to the two, "Have you both memorized those eight hand seals?"
They both nodded simultaneously: "Understood."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Now you change the order. The first four handprints are in the same order, but the last four handprints are repeated in reverse order."
The two were completely confused, but fortunately they trusted Ye Chen, so they tacitly refrained from asking why. Instead, they immediately rearranged the order in their minds and then made the eight hand seals in the correct sequence.
Ye Chen had been observing the changes in the two women. After they completed the eight hand seals, he didn't seem to notice any significant loss of spiritual energy within them. So he asked, "Do you feel anything?"
Yun Rugo shook her head: "Mr. Ye, this set of hand seals seems to have no effect."
Song Ruyu echoed, "Yes, Mr. Ye, I don't feel anything either."
Ye Chen then asked, "Has there been any subtle changes in the spiritual energy within your body?"
Yun Rugo replied, "No, the spiritual energy has neither increased nor decreased."
Ye Chen nodded, already having the answer in his heart.
First of all, the reason for all of this lies within oneself.
Secondly, although it is still unknown what it is, it is certain that it is not the ring that Lin Wan'er gave him.
As Ye Chen's doubts gradually cleared, he came to a reasonable guess as to why the creature showed him its handprint.
The first time he showed his hand gestures, it was probably to absorb his own spiritual energy.
The second display of the handprints was more like a way of returning the favor, a way of repaying the spirit that had been given to it.
However, people say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, but this guy is doing the opposite, draining his own spring and squeezing out a few drops to return.
Of course, Ye Chen understood the principle of perseverance, and this set of hand seals was actually of great significance in the Dharma-ending Age.
If it really does have even more powerful effects later on, then it will truly be a blessing in disguise!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's unease about the unknown thing lessened considerably. He smiled and said to the two of them, "Since this set of hand seals has no effect on you, then don't worry about it. Focus on practicing the second set of hand seals you learned last night!"
