"Holy shit!"

Jiang Yuan really wanted to punch Mi Tan'er's delicate face; he wanted to see how such a vicious woman could have such a beautiful face.

However, when the Gemini constellation enveloped him, he held back, for he now had a chance to fight back from the brink of defeat.

"Strange, did this guy not drink the Mind-Concentrating Soup? Why didn't the Soul-Controlling Seed I planted appear?"

Mi Tan'er, who was activating the Gemini Stars, looked bewildered. This was different from her original expectations. Without the aid of the Mind-Concentrating Soup, the Gemini Stars would damage the Guardian Star's talent and potential. Although the outcome would not change, it would mean that her future servants would lack the stamina to become gods.

"Could it be that this guy has a special constitution? Or is it indigestion?" Mi Tan'er wondered.

After trying several more times, Mi Tan'er was certain that Jiang Yuan truly did not have a Soul Control Seed within him.

"Well, it's fate, and I can only slightly diminish your talent! I hope you can catch up with me!" Mi Tan'er made up her mind.

She was indeed moved when she first met Jiang Yuan. He was a genius even more terrifying than the descendants of the Divine Empress. His rich bloodline almost crushed the entire generation of the Divine Empress's descendants. Moreover, his eighth-level combat power was comparable to that of a super ninth-level expert. Most importantly, he was recognized by the fortune of the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Yuan's talent is second to none. If his talent is damaged, that would be her biggest loss. After all, he is her future guardian star, and he has to be strong!

But now that the situation is settled, she is afraid that things might change if she delays, so she can only slightly damage her little follower's talent.

"You crazy woman, if I don't fight you to the bitter end today, I'm not Jiang Yuan!"

When the Gemini scanned Jiang Yuan's body seven or eight times, the Grim Reaper's Hand finally emitted a pleasant notification sound.

"Talent template 'Advanced Talent - Gemini' successfully replicated!"

His last chance to turn things around was the Hand of Death. When Mi Tan'er scanned him with Gemini, he was already copied by the Hand of Death, which means he could forge an exact replica of his talent.

"Don't ask, just tell me it's smelting! I'll pay any price!"

Jiang Yuan answered immediately, and this time the Grim Reaper didn't even give him a chance to ask if he wanted to smelt it.

"Maximize the 'Advanced Talent - Gemini', talent template ready, mark of the dead ready."

Immediately afterwards, the newly replicated talent templates disappeared, and the Mark of the Dead was gradually applied.

However, when the 10,001st Mark of the Dead was put in, Jiang Yuan was speechless!

He has always refined advanced talents with 10,000 Death Marks, so why is he getting more today?

"As per the host's request, refine the 'Advanced Talent - Gemini' to the maximum extent possible," the Hand of Death instructed.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Well, I never expected that this Grim Reaper would also be a class representative for Chinese language; his comprehension skills deserve full marks.

Just as Jiang Yuan hesitated, the Mark of the Dead had already invested 50,000.

"Fuck you!"

Jiang Yuan almost collapsed. If it cost tens of thousands of Death Marks to forge a high-level talent, he might as well not live anymore. After all, Death Marks were his life!

"No, stop!" Jiang Yuan cried out in his heart.

The Hand of Death remained calm and transmitted its voice again: "As requested by the host, do not stop. Activate at full power. This smelting will exhaust all the marks of the dead!"

"Fuck you!" Jiang Yuan felt an urge to kill Death's hand. Damn it, how come my two sentences sounded like one sentence to you?! Did you think my pause wasn't emotional enough and that I needed to add a comma to make it sound impressive?

"Just kidding, welcome back, host!" Death's Hand suddenly changed the subject.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Are you kidding me? He seriously suspected that the Grim Reaper's Hand was actually the Eye in disguise, because the Grim Reaper's Hand had never conveyed such emotional information before.

"This intelligence is merely to congratulate the host on activating the test of the Grim Reaper's Will," the Grim Reaper's Hand conveyed the message once again.

"What the heck?"

"The Blood Spirit can become the Will of Death!"

After saying that, the Grim Reaper's Hand fell silent again, as if Jiang Yuan had only activated the Grim Reaper's intelligent experience card for three seconds. Once the three-second experience ended, it was back to the original cold and indifferent Grim Reaper's Hand.

"Holy crap, what's going on here?!"

Jiang Yuan put his doubts aside; all he wanted to do now was solve the immediate problem—he had to kill this madwoman.

Ding! Talent - Gemini Fusion Completed.

Advanced Talent - Death Twins: Designates one person as the guardian star, and deprives the other of the right to reincarnation.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

He was genuinely astonished. This smelting wasn't just unexpected; it was downright mind-blowing! Why was there a Grim Reaper version of the Twin Stars? Was the Grim Reaper playing a joke on him?

When the Grim Reaper version of the Twins entered the second shattered talent slot, Mi Tan'er also took action.

At this moment, Mi Tan'er had completely mastered the method of enslaving Jiang Yuan. With just one order, the fortune of the Nine Provinces and Jiang Yuan would be hers for the taking.

"Never mind, let's take a gamble!"

Jiang Yuan had no way out but to fight back against Mi Tan'er's enslavement. As for the outcome, that would depend on who was stronger, the original Twins or the Death God version of Twins.

"Jiang Yuan, are you ready for a new life?"

Mi Tan'er placed her jade-like hand on Jiang Yuan's forehead, the closest point to his soul. "Gemini activated, designating the target 'Jiang Yuan' as the guardian star."

As Mi Tan'er finished speaking, a mysterious and powerful energy surged out from her body.
