After the betrayal by her ex-husband (yes, although she had no current husband, Ah Yin had regarded Tang Hao as her ex-husband ever since learning the truth) and the death of her child, Ah Yin felt that her life had fallen into darkness.
The young man before her, who had pulled her back from the brink of death, was the light that pierced the darkness, illuminating the road ahead, warming her spirit, and becoming her spiritual pillar.
And now, this young man seemed to be leaving her too?
Why? Although this place was indeed a blessed land for a Plant-Type Soul Beast like her, she had already expressed that she did not want to come here and wanted to follow him.
Hadn't he wanted her to witness the new era of Soul Beasts with him?
She could also become his Soul Spirit. Why did he want to leave her here?
Was she going to be alone again?
Ye Kai did not know what Ah Yin was thinking, but he still explained, "No. I'm only asking Sister Ah Yin to stay here for a few days. Once I move the Blue Silver King and the others from the Blue Silver Forest here, I'll leave this place for them to guard, in case other Soul Beasts invade and destroy it."
"Keeping you here for now is also so you can see whether you recover faster here or by my side."
"At the same time, I'd like you to prepare some scouting, warning, and defensive measures. Once the Blue Silver King and the others arrive, you can hand everything over to them together."
After hearing the first half of Ye Kai's explanation, Ah Yin almost blurted out, "I recover faster by your side," but ultimately held herself back.
After fully hearing what Ye Kai wanted her to help with, she felt both grateful and delighted.
She was grateful that Ye Kai was still thinking of her people at a time like this, and delighted because she could help him instead of remaining a vase that waited for Ye Kai to feed her every day.
"Since that's the case, Xiao Kai, you should go."
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon. But, Sister Ah Yin, could you give me a leaf?"
Ye Kai planned to send the two Soul Saint guards from before. They had met the Blue Silver King, and the Blue Silver King had met them as well. Asking for one of Ah Yin's leaves was merely to prevent the Blue Silver King from distrusting them.
Wait, asking Ah Yin for a leaf was equivalent to asking her to cut off a piece of herself, wasn't it?
Seeing Ah Yin wave her branch and prepare to snap off a leaf, Ye Kai hurriedly stopped her. Feeling a little heartache, he gently rubbed the cracked spot that had already appeared, and sweetly fragrant sap flowed out.
Life Energy surged through his hand as he prepared to help Ah Yin heal the tear.
"It's fine, Xiao Kai. It'll grow back soon." While Ye Kai was distracted, Ah Yin still flicked the leaf off.
ε=(ο`*))) Sigh.
Since it had already come off, he might as well take it with him.
After giving Ah Yin a few more instructions, Ye Kai walked out and met up with Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, let's go."
Dugu Bo grabbed Ye Kai and flew him back to Heaven Dou City. After returning to the Martial Soul Saint Hall, Ye Kai immediately summoned the two guards from before.
"You two, go to Holy Soul Village again and find that Blue Silver King who is over eighty thousand years old."
Ye Kai took out Ah Yin's leaf and his own command token.
Although his command token did not carry any explicitly defined authority, everyone in Spirit Hall knew of it and dared not disobey it.
"All you need to do is show this leaf to the Blue Silver King and tell him that its owner is currently recovering. Also tell him that I intend to grant him and his entire clan a great opportunity. Then have them follow the two of you."
"Go and return quickly. One of you should bring them to Sunset Forest, while the other comes back to notify me."
"Yes!" The two guards accepted the order and left. At the speed of a Soul Saint, the round trip would take roughly twenty days.
For now, he would stay in Heaven Dou City for a while.
"Angel Assault!"
With Qian Renxue's delicate shout, golden Soul Power surged over her fair fist as she lunged at Ye Kai.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sister Xue'er, you're really something. Your attacks lack force going forward and lack finesse when retreating. You're wasting all that talent."
Ye Kai did not remove his weights or lift the gravity restriction. Instead, he activated the Three Gates, dodged Qian Renxue's attack, and pushed her from behind.
Qian Renxue spun around and swept a leg toward Ye Kai, but Ye Kai dodged it with a backbend.
Hearing Ye Kai's mild taunt, a trace of shame and anger flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. Her Soul Power surged, and she attacked Ye Kai again.
Ye Kai dodged every attack, weaving left and right.
Looking at Ye Kai, whose clothes had not even rippled, Qian Renxue grew frantic. "Why am I always just a little short?"
Hearing this, Ye Kai suddenly recalled a classic scene from a television series he had watched in his previous life.
Someone else had taught his nephew how to fight. Today, Ye Kai would play Ye Kai Teaches Xue.
Ye Kai, who had been constantly dodging and yielding, suddenly closed in. A storm of fists shot toward Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue had not expected Ye Kai to attack so suddenly. Caught off guard, she could not dodge in time and was struck several times.
Although her Soul Power protected her and the attacks did not truly injure her, what really made her lose her composure were Ye Kai's words: "You must always practice with 'almost there' and 'almost there.' Then, when the crucial moment comes, you're always just a little short."
"Just you wait. If I don't take you down today, I won't be called Xue!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. When I take you down today, just watch how I shut that mouth of yours!
Ye Kai dodged Qian Renxue's attack again and reached out to flick her forehead.
Qian Renxue covered the spot he had flicked, feeling even more ashamed and furious.
"All right, that's enough for today. Judging by the time, the people I sent out earlier should be back soon."
Ye Kai's words interrupted Qian Renxue's thoughts of continuing.
Hmph. I can't beat you on the Training Field, but in bed, won't you still end up beneath me?
As if she had already imagined how she would deal with Ye Kai that night, a smile appeared at the corner of Qian Renxue's lips, and even her tone became several shades lighter. "Since that's the case, let's leave it at that for now."
Ye Kai teleported back to the Martial Soul Saint Hall, arriving just as the guards returned to report. "Your Highness, the Blue Silver King and part of his clan have been relocated here. They're currently outside Sunset Forest."
Ye Kai was overjoyed. "They finally came. Let's go."
After arriving outside Sunset Forest, the Blue Silver King appeared before Ye Kai. "Sir, we meet again. Thank you for your generous assistance. I can already sense the vigorous aura of my emperor."
"Since I promised you, I will naturally do my utmost. Besides, I got along quite well with Sister Ah Yin. Come, let's go inside. I'll explain the details to you there."
Ye Kai asked the two guards to wait outside. With the Blue Silver King accompanying him, there was nothing inside Sunset Forest capable of threatening them.
Taking along the clan members the Blue Silver King had brought this time, Ye Kai headed toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
With the Blue Silver King radiating the aura of a Soul Beast, not a single Soul Beast inside Sunset Forest dared approach Ye Kai.
Soul Beasts inside Sunset Forest: So terrifying! Why did an eighty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast suddenly appear? Mom, I want to go back to my cave!
When they reached the area near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Ye Kai sensed that the poisonous gas had already grown somewhat thin. Without Dugu Bo replenishing it, it would probably dissipate completely before long.
However, with the Blue Silver King present, he only needed to release his aura to keep other Soul Beasts from approaching. The problem was that encountering humans would be troublesome, especially if a Soul Douluo brought juniors to hunt Soul Beasts.
He still needed to find a solution. He could either ask through the Martial Soul whether there were any Plant-Type Soul Beasts capable of creating illusions and transplant them here, or go take a look in the System Mall.
Forget it. He would discuss it with Ah Yin. As a hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, she should know quite a few Soul Beasts like that.
