His spirit having just returned to his body, Ying An, still shaken, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the scorching aura he had felt through the door could indeed harm his spirit, Ying An had now at least learned the Past Amitabha Sutra.
His spirit possessed the unchanging essence of the past.
Even if his spirit were to be shattered by that aura in haste, he could still recover thanks to the profundity of the Past Amitabha Sutra.
It could only be said that in the spirit state, after losing the reliance of the physical body, the feeling of the spirit seemingly sinking directly into the bitter sea of the mortal world was indeed unsettling.
Coupled with this being Ying An's first true soul departure, it caused him to react so strongly.
Just as Ying An composed himself, Dong Jun, in her red, blue, and gold long dress, with an elegant and dignified posture, and a noble and mysterious aura, had already entered the palace.
Led by Xiao Lingdang, Dong Jun soon appeared before Ying An.
The moment he saw Dong Jun, Ying An understood what the scorching aura he had felt through the door during his soul departure earlier was all about.
The name Dong Jun was merely a position title within the Yinyang Family, just like Da Si Ming and Little Si Ming.
One must know that Little Si Ming alone had several generations of succession.
The current Little Si Ming, who wore a veil and had purple hair, might not even have joined the Yinyang Family yet.
The contemporary Little Si Ming was a pair of black and white twin sisters.
Dong Jun's true name should be Feiyan.
Only after she married Yan Dan did she become known as Yan Fei.
As Ying An saw Dong Jun, Dong Jun naturally saw him as well.
With a distinct look in her eyes, she sized Ying An up and down, then bowed and said, "Yinyang Family's Dong Jun, Feiyan, greets Young Master Ying An!"
"So it's Dong Jun, Sir!" Ying An returned the bow, and his gaze towards Dong Jun involuntarily carried a hint of scrutiny.
After all, this woman in front of him was already engaged to him. She would soon marry him and become his wife.
If Ying Zheng had previously considered merely having Ying An take Dong Jun as a concubine, without granting her the position of main wife, then the fact that this idea hadn't resurfaced in the past few days proved he had abandoned it.
In other words, the marriage between Dong Jun and Ying An was completely settled, with no possibility of change.
The first impression that flooded Ying An's mind upon seeing Dong Jun was: noble!
It was a noble aura emanating from her very bones. Compared to Dong Jun, Ying An felt like a nouveau riche, even as a legitimate prince of Great Qin.
Aside from that high noble aura that made one feel inferior, what particularly captivated Ying An was Dong Jun's beauty, which could be described as world-shattering.
Having lived two lives, especially this current one as a Great Qin prince, Xianyang Palace was filled with beauties, so much so that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say 'beauties like clouds'. Even so, Dong Jun was, to this day, the woman who stirred his heart the most.
This stirring was not merely a desire for beauty. It was a deeper attraction, as if a mysterious complementarity between their souls and bloodlines.
Fortunately, before Dong Jun arrived, Ying An had successfully integrated Hong Yi's template to the point of cultivating the Past Amitabha Sutra. Even when faced with this dual attraction from both body and soul, he could firmly maintain his state of mind and would not waver or lose composure.
Ying An was currently unaware that the selection for each position in the Yinyang Family was not made lightly. It wasn't about the capable rising and the mediocre falling. Instead, each position had to align with one's destiny.
Even if no one with a matching destiny appeared, the positions of elder and protector would rather remain vacant. After Feiyan betrayed the Yinyang Family, for over a decade, the Yinyang Family had not found a new Dong Jun. This clearly illustrated the point.
Feiyan's ability to become Dong Jun was not solely due to her talent in Yinyang Arts. More importantly, her bloodline, destiny, and all other aspects perfectly aligned with the characteristics of Dong Jun.
Among other things, while others cultivating Soul Returns Dragon Soaring in the Yinyang Family could at most produce Dragon Wandering Energy, only Dong Jun could transform Dragon Wandering Energy into a lifelike Three-legged Golden Crow.
The protectors and elders of the Yinyang Family were all named after deities from the Chu region. The name Dong Jun itself was the Sun God in mythology!
From these requirements alone, it was clear how rare it was to find someone who could fit the position of Dong Jun.
Feiyan's Soul Returns Dragon Soaring, based on the solar divine bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow, and Ying An was currently unaware of how invaluable this power would be for his future soul refinement.
"It seems Prince Ying An's body has indeed recovered!" Dong Jun said with a smile. Her attitude and all other aspects seemed impeccable, yet they conveyed an indistinguishable aloofness.
"I owe it all to Dong Jun, Sir!" Ying An said politely.
Although the Past Amitabha Sutra suppressed his mind, allowing Ying An to resist the dual attraction from Dong Jun's soul and body, the moment he saw Dong Jun, Ying An had already made up his mind: he would claim Dong Jun. The future Ji Rúqiānlóng would have to find a new father!
"I'm afraid it wasn't me?" Dong Jun said meaningfully, "I didn't expect everyone to underestimate the Prince. Who would have thought that the bedridden Prince Ying An possessed such a profound foundation, capable of even curing a congenital deficiency! But why would the Prince attribute this credit to the Yinyang Family?"
Just now, through the doorway, Ying An's soul had sensed a blazing aura from Dong Jun. Dong Jun was no less perceptive; although she didn't know that Ying An was behind everything, she also detected that extremely peculiar yin-cold aura.
This special aura of the soul immediately made Dong Jun suspect that Ying An was playing dumb, and that behind him, there must be an unknown power. This power had even hidden from the Qin King, from the entire Xianyang Palace, and even from Qin and the entire world!
To treat Ying An at that time, Great Qin had spared no effort in recruiting Medicalists experts from the Seven Kingdoms. But everyone was helpless regarding Ying An's condition.
If Dong Jun hadn't personally felt that extremely peculiar yin-cold aura just now, even she probably wouldn't have thought that Ying An was behind everything.
"What do you mean by that, Dong Jun, Sir?" Ying An looked puzzled.
He wasn't feigning ignorance; he truly didn't understand.
Ying An did not know that the power of the soul also existed in the Qin Shi World. Although it hadn't formed a complete system, in this world, there was an extremely powerful, even centuries-old, mighty phantom.
That's right!
It was the sword spirit of the Reverse Scale sword, held by Han Fei, the great master of Legalism!
"Prince, I presume you are aware that our marriage is a settled fact, unchangeable!" Dong Jun said, discussing her lifelong matter, yet her world-shattering beautiful face showed not a hint of shyness. "I hope we can have the most basic trust!"
Dong Jun looked sincere.
