Chapter 138 The Evil Soul in Action
In a high-end clothing store on Yaoxing Street in Xingluo City.
Ye Nanxiao was lying on a recliner provided by a clothing store, looking sullen, with several women's clothes covering his body.
I tilted my head and looked at the sky outside the glass; the sun had already set.
"Nanxiao, what do you think of this one?" Xu Jiujiu's excited voice came.
Ye Nanxiao stood up resignedly, carrying a pile of clothes in his arms, and walked to the changing area.
After a long while, she pulled back the curtain and walked out wearing a white dress that reached her knees. The youthful aura of the girl was palpable.
The two female shop assistants standing by immediately exclaimed in admiration.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao nodded vigorously, a standard smile on his face, and praised, "Beautiful, beautiful."
Overjoyed to receive Ye Nanxiao's reply, Xu Jiujiu told the shop assistant, "I'll take this set too!"
Only after buying all the clothes in the high-end clothing store and having nothing left to try on, did she reluctantly pull Ye Nanxiao, who was staring with dead fish eyes, away.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his face; he had used the standard smile too many times, causing the muscles in his face to become a little stiff.
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's interest had not waned at all but was instead growing stronger, Ye Nanxiao broke out in a cold sweat. He felt his legs were trembling slightly in protest.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to speak up to dissuade him, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. He sensed that someone was secretly watching him.
Looking around, I saw that the streets were full of pedestrians at dusk.
Ye Nanxiao's outstanding appearance attracted the attention of many people, especially some elegantly dressed young women.
"Perhaps it's too popular?" Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
From the moment Xu Jiujiu led him into this street, he had been constantly attracting attention, but Ye Nanxiao didn't feel a strong connection to him.
As Ye Nanxiao turned his head, some of the young women following behind him did not flinch at all. Instead, they met Ye Nanxiao's gaze with burning eyes and extended an invitation for friendly interaction.
Ye Nanxiao shrank back. Faced with the burning gazes of the young women, even Ye Nanxiao, who considered himself thick-skinned, had to back down.
"Hmph!" Xu Jiujiu snorted coldly, pulled Ye Nanxiao to his side, and made himself close to Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was protecting her own, the surrounding young women exchanged smiles and then walked away.
Before Ye Nanxiao could figure out the flutter in his heart, a slightly surprised voice rang out, "What a beautiful person."
Xu Jiujiu and Ye Nanxiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman wearing a black tight-fitting long dress standing in front of them.
The tight-fitting long dress showed off the woman's stunning figure. Her long hair was braided and hung down to the right side. Her face was covered with heavy and strange eye makeup. Dark red lines surrounded her eyes and extended to her temples. Her dark purple eyes were full of surprise.
The woman was followed by two men, who appeared to be bodyguards; one had an ordinary appearance, and the other had a slightly pale face.
All three of them focused their attention on Ye Nanxiao.
"My name is Fengling. Would you be so kind as to invite me to dinner?" Fengling stared directly at Ye Nanxiao and extended the invitation.
As the wind chimes spoke, Ye Nanxiao felt an even stronger sense of being watched, as if he were being seen through.
The "Mind's Eye" opened subconsciously, and mental energy spread, but it didn't sense anything.
Within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, the large fox, which had been quietly lying in the sealed ice mountain, suddenly looked up and gazed around as if it had been tapped on the head.
Lying on the beanbag chair, Xue Di turned her head to look at the big fox who had gone back to lie down. Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had just sensed the big fox's movement.
"No, no!" Xu Jiujiu puffed out her cheeks, and this time without hesitation, she reached out and took Ye Nanxiao's arm.
A soft impact brought Ye Nanxiao back to his senses.
He tried to pull his arm back, but after a long time, the girl clung to his arm.
"So you're already taken, young friend. That's a real shame. But it's fate that we met. Would you mind taking a stroll together?" Feng Ling said, bowing slightly.
The wind chime was very tall, almost as tall as Ye Nanxiao.
Xu Jiujiu was half a head shorter than Ye Nanxiao, so Fengling naturally lowered her body when speaking to Xu Jiujiu.
"Hmm, the sunset is very bright. This lady has an extraordinary bearing and a profound understanding of things. She is clearly a magnanimous person." Ye Nanxiao glanced at her briefly, then, feeling the pressure on his arm, quickly looked away.
"I'm sorry, we just want to be alone together," Xu Jiujiu said.
Feng Ling smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I look forward to seeing you two again next time."
Watching Fengling's departing figure, the feeling of being spied on grew even stronger.
Ye Nanxiao, filled with doubt, was about to turn around and look at the woman who called herself Feng Ling.
However, Xu Jiujiu was determined to pull Ye Nanxiao away, so Ye Nanxiao had to first free his arm from the soft, arched embrace.
Feng Ling's figure appeared at the street corner, holding a lady's folding fan in her hand, half-covering her face, revealing a pair of dark purple eyes, in which dark purple flames danced, the flames outlining a strange symbol, watching the two departing figures.
The two men behind him had already put on masks, one with a ghost face and the other pure black.
The masked figure bowed and said, "Vice Leader, how is it?"
Feng Ling nodded slightly, "Not bad, you really are a Holy Son. I will record a great merit for you two when we get back."
"But now that Duke White Tiger has suddenly returned, disrupting our original plan, how can we awaken the Holy Son?" the pure black-masked man asked in a low voice.
"Once the Holy Son steps into the Candle Soul Flame, those old guys won't be able to sense any of our actions. It's just that Dai Hao has very sharp intuition. If we fight to the death, I'm afraid I'll be held back for a while." A hint of killing intent flashed in Feng Ling's eyes.
"Moreover, the Holy Son's power is extremely strong. He was able to reflect my spiritual power back just now. However, I used a secret technique given to me by the Supreme Master, so the Holy Son will not know that it was me."
Feng Ling squinted, her whole body trembling slightly.
She was very excited. The power within Ye Nanxiao that rebounded her spiritual energy made her martial soul feel a little afraid. Moreover, that power was extremely strong. In addition, Ye Nanxiao was also the owner of an ultimate ice martial soul and had top-notch soul tool talent. If he successfully joined the sect, how much help would he bring to the Supreme Sect Leader?
The space around Feng Ling distorted slightly, and mournful cries rang out from the pure black mask.
"Vice Master, please return to the stronghold and consider this matter further. The Ghost Lamp cannot withstand the pressure," said the man in the pure black mask.
Feng Ling took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the direction Ye Nanxiao had left, her gaze seemingly piercing through space to fall upon him.
"Let's go back first. Even if that old guy Xingluo dislikes soul tools, if my aura is leaked, it will be a big problem," Feng Ling said.
The man in the pure black mask nodded, and the shadow beneath him rapidly extended, growing larger and enveloping the three of them.
The three disappeared silently, unnoticed by the bustling pedestrians or patrolling soldiers around them.
After Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei finished their private discussion about the interception tower experiment, they led the White Tiger Guards back to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
While still in the army, Dai Hao received a secret letter from a trusted subordinate.
This secret letter shocked Dai Hao, who was usually calm and collected.
The secret letter briefly recounted the second awakening of Dai Luoli's martial soul.
This confidant was someone Dai Hao brought back from the battlefield; he was one of his most loyal followers.
In addition, Dai Hao could deduce from the secret letter that Madam Baihu was in charge of the household affairs but had been hiding some things from him.
Upon entering the territory of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Dai Hao saw a group of people standing at the main road intersection.
Dai Hao took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
Lady White Tiger, dressed in a long white dress, quickly stepped forward and walked to Dai Hao, saying softly, "My husband has returned from a long journey and must be very tired. I have ordered the household to prepare a bath. Would you like to come with me for a bath first?"
Looking at the gentle-faced Lady White Tiger, Dai Hao felt a mix of emotions. In his memory, the beautiful woman in front of him was still the innocent girl who followed behind him, clutching the hem of his clothes.
She just loves herself too much, to the point that she can't allow herself to have anything that doesn't belong to her.
Perhaps because of Xu Jiawei's words, Dai Hao felt an urge to immerse himself in a gentle embrace.
Holding Lady White Tiger's hand, Dai Hao's gaze softened, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, I'll follow your arrangements."
Seeing Dai Hao take her hand, Madam White Tiger's face was filled with joy. Suppressing her excitement, she leaned closer to Dai Hao, took his arm, and hummed in agreement.
After politely declining Madam White Tiger's offer to serve him a bath, Dai Hao quickly took a bath and changed his clothes.
He used official business as an excuse to lock himself in his study.
Dai Hao sat quietly in his chair, with a secret letter written by his trusted confidant on the table.
After a long silence, Dai Hao pointed to the door and ordered, "Have Du Cheng come over."
The White Tiger Guard standing at the door responded.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Du Cheng arrived before Duke White Tiger.
"Tell me about Luo Li's martial soul problem." Dai Hao crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, his voice revealing undisguised exhaustion.
"I discovered that the Fourth Young Master's martial spirit is much stronger than before. Since it concerns the Marshal's offspring, I immediately appeared and inquired with the Fourth Young Master," Du Cheng said.
As Du Cheng spoke, he took out a document from his pocket. "According to the Fourth Young Master, his martial soul was in a semi-awakened state when he was cultivating it. Fortunately, with the help of the Fourth Young Master's half-master, it was fully awakened. I have already asked Senior Hu to examine the young master and confirmed that the Fourth Young Master's martial soul is a benign mutated martial soul. The specific strength is still unclear."
Dai Hao waved his hand and snatched the document from Du Cheng's hand, examining it carefully.
"Did Luo Li ever say who his half-master was?" Dai Hao asked.
"It is Ye Nanxiao, who has the title of Frost Sword Saint," Du Cheng said.
"Huh? Ye Nanxiao?" Dai Hao put down the document in his hand, looking surprised.
Since these words came from Du Cheng, Dai Hao did not doubt their credibility.
In his understanding, his knowledge of Ye Nanxiao was limited to Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, and the previous National Soul Master Competition.
"It's truly astonishing. I never expected that the person who helped Luo Li fully awaken her martial soul was Ye Nanxiao. To achieve such accomplishments at such a young age, Shrek Academy will likely produce another Title Douluo within the next twenty years," Dai Hao said slowly.
"According to the Fourth Young Master, his mutated martial soul possesses spiritual attributes," Du Cheng continued.
Upon hearing the words "spiritual attribute," Dai Hao's eyes gleamed, and he abruptly stood up and walked towards the door.
"Have Luo Li wait for me at the martial arts arena," Dai Hao said to the White Tiger Guard standing at the door.
