Chapter 452: Chapter 250: Cultivating Dragon Seed While AFK, Extreme Evil Tattoo_2
He hastily unbuttoned his shirt to check, only to find a black tattoo on his skin over his heart.
The tattoo was of some kind of plant with leaves that seemed to wither and twist and tangle around each other like they were wrapping something.
Suddenly, the black plant tattoo seemed to move slightly, revealing a corner of what it was wrapping.
Lin Xun took a closer look. The object wrapped in leaves had a droplet-like shape... was it a flower bud?
"What on earth is this?"
He quickly cancelled the manifestation of the Shell, returning to his original form.
After removing his T-shirt to look again, there was nothing unusual about his chest.
An idea sprang to Lin Xun’s mind; he decided to check the other Shells.
The only Shells with similar tattoos on their chest were those with the ’Fire Worshiping’ prefix.
The president, the Earth Giant, and the Little Dragon had no sign of anything unusual.
The Fire Worshiping Shells had smaller tattoos on their chests than the Palace Master, and their colors were not as starkly black.
Based on his observations of Master Fan, the Medium Ninja, the Courtesan, and several other Shells, Lin Xun came to a conclusion.
The stronger the Shell, the more pronounced the tattoos, and the thicker the leaves.
In the case of Shells such as the Courtesan, the tattoo was very small, and the color was almost too faint to see. If Lin Xun hadn’t been looking closely, he would have easily overlooked it.
The tattoos on these Shells showed varying degrees of withering.
The worst withering was on the Servant Shell, then the Medium Ninja Shell... the Palace Master’s Shell had the most lush leaves,
Lin Xun inferred that the longer he occupied a Shell, the more the leaf tattoo would wither.
The only Shell with a tattoo that had produced a ’flower bud’ was that of the Palace Master.
It seemed that the other Shells lacked the nutrients from the leaves to form a ’flower bud’, and with their withering, they probably wouldn’t grow a ’flower bud’ in the future.
As for whether the Shells he traced back had a leaf tattoo, he didn’t know as he had not obtained the corresponding Shells.
After pondering for a moment, he had a sudden flash of insight.
"...Even though I don’t have any traced-back Shells, I have the Snow Woman."
The Snow Woman, a demon with a trace back prefix, was indeed a legitimate traced-back Shell.
With this in mind, Lin Xun once again occupied the Palace Master’s Shell and summoned the Snow Woman in reality.
It’s worth noting that to summon or recall a Shikigami, he must occupy the Palace Master’s Shell.
If the Palace Master Shell is abandoned, it also means abandoning the respective Shikigami.
With the relevant memory from the Shell, Lin Xun swung the ’Exorcism Rosary’ in one hand and the formed seal with the other, chanting a weird and abstruse spell under his breath.
Soon, a graceful figure appeared in the bathroom.
The woman in a pure white Kimono had icy blue hair that cascaded down to her waist, and her deep blue eyes were filled with respect.
She bowed respectfully, saying softly, "Sir Dragon Seed, please command me if you have any tasks."
The language the Snow Woman spoke was not one that Lin Xun knew.
Oddly, he could understand her perfectly, and his familiarity with this language was even comparable to his native Chinese.
It seemed that the residual memories in the game Shell not only related to combat.
"Take off your clothes."
Lin Xun said it once in Chinese. Seeing the bewilderment on the Snow Woman’s face, he repeated it in the foreign language.
At his words, the Snow Woman blushed, but obediently undressed, slipping off her pure white Kimono and the skin lingerie beneath.
Indeed, there was a black tattoo on her full chest with an abundance of leaves akin to Master Fan.
"Alright, get dressed again."
"Ah?"
The Snow Woman had been curiously examining the bathroom and was caught off guard by Lin Xun’s order.
She had originally thought that the Dragon Seed called her to share his bed, but was surprised when he stopped at this step.
While the Snow Woman felt a sense of relief, there was an unexpected trace of regret. Nonetheless, she obeyed and got dressed again.
"When did you get that tattoo? Were you born with it or did it appear later?"
"Do other demons have such tattoos?"
So, the Dragon Seed wanted to see this, not to share his bed...
The Snow Woman’s expression became serious as she reported everything she knew truthfully.
All demons had such tattoos, and these tattoos were where their Dragon Seed power gathered.
When demons revealed their true form, the tattoo was not necessarily placed on the chest. It was always at the place where the Dragon Seed power gathered, and had the same size and shape as when it transformed into a human shape, so people easily overlooked it.
This leafy tattoo was not inherent, but grew as the Dragon Seed power increased.
As far as she knew, not only demons, but also humans had such tattoos.
However, both humans and demons regarded these tattoos as commonplace and found nothing inappropriate about them.
In Capital, there was a trend among the nobles to deliberately reveal their chest tattoos to show their power...
After Lin Xun figured everything out, he used the hand seal and spell to recall the Snow Woman back into the decree column.
The Shadow Realm game didn’t mention anything about the tattoo in the text, and there must be a shocking conspiracy hidden inside.
If he hadn’t accidentally discovered this anomaly, he probably wouldn’t have known.
"This tattoo must have a deep connection with the ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’..."
