Drawing Cards Begins in the Douluo World — Chapter 22

Immortal herb—Narcissus Jade Bone.

The one that had belonged to Zhu Zhuqing in the original timeline.

Although this immortal herb had not caused Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Evolution, it had raised her talent, which had originally only barely qualified as outstanding (estimated at Level 7, no higher than Level 8), to Dai Mubai's level.

One had to know that Dai Mubai was a genuine genius.

Despite losing his will and wasting several years at Shrek, he had still reached Level 37 at fifteen. That was absolutely the performance of someone with Innate Soul Power Level 9.

With such a gap in talent, the difference between them should have grown wider and wider after they became Soul Emperors.

Yet after taking the Narcissus Jade Bone, Zhu Zhuqing had barely managed to keep pace with Dai Mubai. In the end, she had even gained a god's favor and inherited the God of Speed's divine position.

This showed that the Narcissus Jade Bone had vastly improved Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation talent.

But in the current timeline, Dai Weisi had given this Narcissus Jade Bone to Zhu Zhuyun, who possessed Innate Soul Power at nine and a half levels... It was easy to imagine that Zhu Zhuyun would inevitably become a formidable figure in the Demon King Team, second only to Dai Weisi in talent.

Dai Weisi held the Narcissus Jade Bone up to Zhu Zhuyun's mouth and said,

"Come on, open your mouth."

Zhu Zhuyun did not know what it was. Seeing Dai Weisi speak in the tone of someone luring in a little girl, she even felt a little frightened. But the Zhu Clan's upbringing for its daughters, along with her trust in her fiancé, still made her obediently open her mouth.

"Eat these petals one by one first. Then suck the stamen in the middle. Remember to circulate your Soul Power and absorb the energy."

Even if the little girl had not understood before, she now knew it had to be something good. She carefully followed Dai Weisi's instructions.

The immortal herb entered her stomach, and Zhu Zhuyun immediately sat down cross-legged where she stood. She felt a vast yet gentle energy begin to transform her body.

Dai Weisi sat beside her, quietly cultivating the Complete True Heart Method as he waited for her to absorb the immortal herb's energy.

After a long while, the fluctuations of Soul Power around Zhu Zhuyun slowly steadied, and she opened her eyes.

She looked at Dai Weisi with delighted eyes and asked,

"Brother Weisi, I feel like my Soul Power cultivation is much faster than before. My Innate Soul Power should have increased too. I'm now at Innate Full Soul Power just like you!"

Dai Weisi smiled. "As the future second-in-command of our Demon King Team, of course you have to possess Innate Full Soul Power just like me!"

Dai Weisi had originally wanted to directly pass the Nine Yin Manual—the Ancient Tomb version—to Zhu Zhuyun, but after thinking it over, he decided not to act rashly. The amount of information in the Nine Yin Manual was simply too great for Zhu Zhuyun, a six-year-old child who had only just awakened.

Back then, Dai Weisi had spent a long time absorbing the information in the Complete True Heart Method. Even without the Sanskrit general outline, how could the contents of the Nine Yin Manual be merely ten times that of the Complete True Heart Method?

With such an enormous amount of information, he was not sure whether it would overwhelm Zhu Zhuyun's spiritual world. He did not want his fiancée to become a foolish idiot like Ouyang Feng, the Western Venom, because she practiced the Nine Yin Manual incorrectly, so he decided to put the matter aside for now.

Regarding the immortal herb, Dai Weisi gave Zhu Zhuyun a strict gag order.

"Don't tell anyone about the medicinal herb I gave you today after you go back, or I won't like you anymore!"

Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly shut her mouth tight. Still not feeling reassured, she covered it with both little hands and shook her head vigorously.

Ever since she had become slightly more sensible, the education she had received had taught her to wholeheartedly assist a prince of the Dai Family in fighting for the throne, so that she herself could become the Empress. To her, Dai Weisi's preferences were more important than anything.

With everything that needed to be done done and everything that needed to be said said, Dai Weisi took Zhu Zhuyun's hand and walked out of Wanjin Pavilion.

The moment they stepped outside, they found Li Yang, Liu Yunying, and Luo Zhiwei staring at them wide-eyed. Li Yang was holding Dai Mubai and had even raised his left hand to cover Dai Mubai's eyes.

Liu Yunying asked in utter shock,

"No way, Boss! You've only been engaged for a few days, and you already... This little girl is only six..."

Li Yang and Luo Zhiwei regarded Dai Weisi as their leader, so they did not dare speak as brazenly as Liu Yunying.

But the looks in their eyes—thirty percent curiosity, thirty percent thirst for knowledge, thirty percent shock, and the final tiny bit of contempt—completely exposed what they were thinking.

What a lecherous ringleader!

The group had spent nearly a year together at close quarters, so Dai Weisi did not take such teasing too seriously. He merely shot Liu Yunying a fierce glare, signaling with his eyes, Just wait until our next sparring session.

Liu Yunying shrank back and stopped talking.

But Zhu Zhuyun, who was holding Dai Weisi's hand, became unhappy. Leaving aside the fact that they had done nothing, even if they had, First Prince Brother was her fiancé. What was wrong with that?

When a little kitty was unhappy, she wanted to scratch someone.

She had just wanted to scratch Dai Mubai, only to be stopped by Dai Weisi. Now that Liu Yunying was right in front of her, Dai Weisi wanted her to suffer a small loss, so he did not forcibly stop her.

Thus... Zhu Zhuyun instantly summoned her Martial Soul and charged forward, swiping a claw straight at Liu Yunying's face.

Although she had not learned the Nine Yin Manual, Zhu Zhuyun's little cat claws already carried a hint of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw's style.

But how could a little kitty who had just reached Level 10 possibly be a match for Liu Yunying, a Soul Grandmaster?

Liu Yunying did not even activate her Martial Soul. Without dodging or evading, she casually reached out, grabbed Zhu Zhuyun by the back of her collar, and lifted her up.

Although there was only a one-year age gap between them, the difference was not merely two soul rings. There was also the combat experience Liu Yunying had accumulated day after day by sparring with Dai Weisi, that monster.

Zhu Zhuyun, who still had no combat experience at all, was still far too inexperienced to throw a tantrum in front of Liu Yunying.

This lady was the future boss's wife. Liu Yunying did not dare truly hurt her, but since the other party had struck first, letting Zhu Zhuyun suffer a little loss and lose a little face probably would not make Boss say anything, right?

Watching Zhu Zhuyun continue to flail her claws and fangs while being held up, Dai Weisi suppressed a laugh and coughed.

"Enough! No one is allowed to fight!"

Liu Yunying curled her lips at his words and set their First Prince's fiancée back on the ground.

Dai Weisi walked over and lightly tapped Zhu Zhuyun on the forehead. Unable to bear being too harsh with her, he merely lectured her gently.

"I just told you to assess the situation before making a move, and you've forgotten the moment you turned around. Yunying is a Soul Grandmaster in her twenties. If she really fought you, she'd knock you down in one move!"

"And she's a member of our Demon King Team. Everyone will be teammates in the same team from now on, people who need to trust one another and entrust their lives to one another. Don't attack your own people again, understand?"

"Okay..."

Zhu Zhuyun rubbed the spot on her forehead that had been tapped and replied in a wronged voice.

Liu Yunying was having great fun watching Boss lecture his wife, but she had not expected the fire to reach her so quickly. As soon as Dai Weisi finished with Zhu Zhuyun, he immediately turned on her.

"I asked you to help me watch Mubai for a while. Didn't you say you had something to do at home and were leaving?"

"Why are you here again? The moment I stepped outside, I saw you bullying Zhuyun!"

"Are your hands itching because no one's around to fight you? Simple. I'm free today. I'll spar with you."

Having the gossip turn on herself was far from pleasant.

Liu Yunying secretly cursed, Stupid Boss, you're so biased. She liked fighting, but she liked combat, not getting beaten up.

Still, she wore a cheerful grin, took a step back, and dumped the blame on Li Yang.

"Li Yang told me. He said Boss's fiancée had come to Wanjin Mountain Villa, so I thought I'd come and get to know her..."

"Li Yang, right?"

Liu Yunying put on a flattering smile and reached out to hook an arm around Li Yang's neck, hoping this good brother would serve as her shield once more.

But she grabbed empty air.

Having suffered badly at her hands once before, Li Yang directly activated Mirror World and teleported himself onto the roof behind Liu Yunying.

That was the perfect spot for watching the show.

Thrown off balance, Liu Yunying staggered.

The moment she steadied herself and raised her head, she saw Dai Weisi standing before her with an ambiguous smile. He lifted his chin and gestured.

"Let's go, Young Miss Liu. See you at the training grounds."

Liu Yunying groaned inwardly and angrily cursed Li Yang for being disloyal, but she did not dare talk back to Dai Weisi. She could only follow behind him toward the training grounds.

The moment they arrived, Liu Yunying's mentality nearly collapsed.

Not only did that disloyal Li Yang refuse to help her, he had even teleported directly to the edge of the arena, waiting to watch her get beaten up.

He had even had time to teleport to the kitchen and grab a handful of melon seeds!

Li Yang: A Space Element Soul Master would not fall to the same move twice! Besides, who watches a show without cracking some melon seeds?
